Our multi tasking Father is able to minister to every need globally! He gets so excited when we tune into what the Spirit of God is saying. He appreciates the invisible, deep beauty of our heart for Him. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the best of Life on earth, as He is in heaven.  Truth walked among us in confidence. His face is filled with great delight as He now walks with us in the Spirit. His face shines upon us with the glory of God. He enabled us to look through His loving eyes to perceive truth and destroy any schemes of evil. We walk in His gentleness, yet full of authority. When others come face to face with the Truth abiding in us, knees quake as demons scatter. It was Mercy and Truth that watched over Adam and Eve in the garden, and our heavenly merciful Father and His Son, the Truth abide in us as the joy of the Lord.  We live without the stain of sin, or the pride of rebellion, as we live in total harmony as His beloved.

To please God, we need to know what is God’s will for us. Romans 12:2 “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—His good, pleasing and perfect will.” God’s will is that we do not complain, but that we praise God for His constant presence.  First Thessalonians 5:16-18 “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is GOD’S WILL for you in Christ Jesus.”

Matthew 6:10 “Your kingdom come, YOUR WILL be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” God chose us as His Ambassadors to do His will. Ephesians 5:17 “Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.” We ask for His guidance before making decisions based on our own understanding. Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” So we trust that our Father knows best.  Colossians 1:9 “We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of HIS WILL through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives.”

Psalm 143:10  “Teach me to do YOUR WILL, for YOU are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.” As we cannot be servants of sin and servants of Christ at the same time, we must daily choose who we serve. Without faith it is impossible to please God, therefore we surrender our selfish desires at the feet of Mercy. God gave us the power of the Holy Spirit to assist our motive to struggle on toward perfect holiness. By God’s daily grace we are enabled to deny our flesh, say no to temptation and be set free in Him. Our yes to Jesus is ongoing, as His  grace is sufficient for us. We welcome Jesus to finish what He started in  us.  Humbly we submit to the Holy Spirit. We are slaves to Christ, so we are dead to the temptation to keep doing life according to the desires of our flesh. Romans 6:1-13 “What shall we say, then? Shall we keep on sinning so that God’s lavish grace may increase? By no means! As confessed followers of His way, we have DIED to sin. How can we live in Christ in any other way than totally surrendered? Knowing that we were baptized into Christ, we were also baptized into HIS death.  We were buried with HIM through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a NEW life “in Him” and for His glory.

For as we have been united with HIM in a death like HIS, we will certainly also be UNITED with HIM in a resurrection like HIS. For we BELIEVE and KNOW that our old self was CRUCIFIED with HIM so that the body RULED by SIN might be done away with! NO longer are we slaves to the sin of speaking ill of others to murder their character; no do we live in fear of what people think; or gossip to spread false accusations. All idolatry is dead as we place Jesus first over all else —because anyone who has DIED as Jesus died, has been SET FREE from being a slave of any sort of SIN. As we DIED with CHRIST, we BELIEVE that we also live with HIM as the Holy Spirit never departs from us, to help us become like the risen Lord Jesus. For we AGREE that since Christ was RAISED from the dead, HE cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over HIM. The death JESUS died, HE died to sin once for ALL; but the life HE lives, HE lives to God. IN the SAME WAY, we count ourselves DEAD to SIN but ALIVE to GOD in CHRIST JESUS. Therefore we DON’T let SIN REIGN in our MORTAL BODY so that we obey its evil desires. A desire to fit in, a desire to indulge what hinders the health of the temple of the Holy Spirit. We counted the cost of following Jesus, therefore, we do not offer any part of ourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness. Instead, we offer ourselves to God as a living sacrifice. As we were redeemed, purchased by the blood, we have been brought from spiritual death to spiritual life; and we offer every part of ourself to God as His ambassador, His instrument of His righteousness.

“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for HIS compassions, His mercies never fail. We receive fresh NEW mercies every morning; great is our Father’s faithfulness. I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for Him.” The Lord is good to those whose hope is in Him, to the one who seeks Him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.” Lamentations 3:21-26

Romans 3:20 and to make known HIS loving kindness, our Father fastens us to His righteousness.  “No one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin. But apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness is GIVEN through FAITH in Jesus Christ to all who BELIEVE. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and ALL are JUSTIFIED freely by HIS GRACE through the REDEMPTION that came by Christ Jesus. Our Father presented CHRIST as a SACRIFICE of ATONEMENT, through the shedding of HIS blood—to be RECEIVED by FAITH. He did this to demonstrate HIS merciful righteousness, because in HIS forbearance HE had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished.” Praise God !!!

“Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear—but let your adorning be the HIDDEN PERSON of the HEART with the IMPERISHABLE beauty of a GENTLE and QUIET spirit, which in God’s sight is very precious.” 1 Peter 3:3-4

Ephesians 1:3-10 “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For HE chose us in HIM before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in HIS sight. In love HE predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with HIS pleasure and will— to the praise of HIS glorious grace, which HE has freely given us in the One HE loves. In HIM we have redemption through HIS blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that HE lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding, HE made known to us the mystery of HIS will according to HIS good pleasure, which HE purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.” Wow how He loves us!

Our obedience means more than all else, therefore we do everything without grumbling or arguing, instead we rejoice in the Lord always as we let our gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near for the Holy Spirit never drparts from us. Therefore, we are not anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, we  thank God as He wants us to present Him with our requests for His assistance as we focus on helping others.  With the mind of Christ, we think about whatever is true, noble, or right. We consider all that is pure, lovely, and admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—we think deeply about such things. Philippians 4 applied daily.

Our Father’s desire is, “To give us a beautiful headdress instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit; that we may be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.” Isaiah 61:3 Ask God for wisdom and He gives it bountifully. Proverbs 15 “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. The tongue of the wise adorns knowledge, but the mouth of the fool gushes folly. The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good. The soothing tongue is a tree of life, but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit. The house of the righteous contains great treasure, but the income of the wicked brings ruin. The lips of the wise spread knowledge, but the hearts of fools are not upright. Stern discipline awaits anyone who leaves the path; the one who hates correction will die. Mockers resent correction,  so they avoid the wise. A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit. The discerning heart seeks knowledge, but the mouth of a fool feeds on folly.”

Nehemiah 8:10-12 “Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” Be calmed and be still, for today is a holy day filled with fresh mercies. Do not grieve, but celebrate with great joy, because you now have the Holy Spirit to give you full understanding of God’s living Word. Hallelujah

We are diligent to meditate on Truth so that it becomes our first response in every circumstance.  Jesus refers to Himself as the Good Shepherd and He uses His crook, the Holy Spirit nudge, to rescue us. John 10:14-15 “I am the good shepherd; I know My sheep and My sheep KNOW Me—just as the Father knows ME and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep.” My flock has an ear to hear My voice above all the noise of the world.  “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” John 10:27 Our  intimate relationship with Jesus is what He treasures more than anything else.

Bible verses talk about God’s leading.

Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to HIM, and HE will make your paths straight.”

Psalm 32:8 “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with My loving eye on you.”

Isaiah 58:11 “The Lord will guide you always; He will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.”  Thank You Jesus!

Psalm 37:23-24 “The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in Him; though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with His hand.”

John 16:13 “But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on His own; He will speak only what He hears, and He will tell you what is yet to come.”

Before we go to bed we give thanks for a sweet sleep. Proverbs 3:24 When I lie down, I will not be afraid; when I lie down, my sleep will be sweet. Therfore, I have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked, for the Lord will be at my side and He will keep my foot from being snared. I do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in my power to act. The wise inherit honor, but fools get only shame.” Wisdom leads

The Bible encourages us to meditation and reflect on God’s Word:

Psalm 1:2-3 “But whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on His law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—whatever they do prospers.”

Joshua 1:8 “Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.”

Psalm 119:15 “I will meditate on your precepts and consider your ways.”

Psalm 19:14 “May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.”

Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”
