What is The REAL?


 

In banking they have the tellers handle real money so much that they can tell a counterfeit by the slightest touch. It is not done by handling, nor dwelling on the counterfeit... they KNOW the genuine!

 

“That which was from the beginning, 

which we have heard, 

which we have seen with our eyes, 

which we have looked upon, 

and our hands have handled, 

of the Word of life…

…declare we unto you…” (Jn 1:1-3)

 

HOWEVER… too often we dwell on all that is vile and bad in our life…

 

…the counterfeit. 

 

We pray, begging our Father to deliver us, 

 reminding Him of all that is going wrong..  as though He has turned a blind eye to our plight. 

 

What if we truly believe we ARE precious… the apple of His eye (Zech 2:8)… chosen… and bought with the blood of Christ?

 

We would then separate the precious from the vile, proclaiming what HAS BEEN DONE through Christ… and what HE BELIEVES about the situation. 

 

We would speak for the KING and HIS KINGDOM rather than glorifying what the enemy has done. 

 


“…If you repent

 [and give up this mistaken attitude of despair and self-pity],

 then I will restore you [to a state of inner peace]


So that you may stand before Me [as My obedient representative];


And if you separate the precious from the (vile) worthless [examining yourself and cleansing your heart from unwarranted doubt concerning My faithfulness],


You will become My spokesman.


Let the people turn to you [and learn to value My values]—


But you, you must not turn to them [with regard for their idolatry and wickedness].”

“And I will make you to this people
A fortified wall of bronze

 

They will fight against you,
But they will not prevail over you,


For I am with you [always] to save you
And ]protect you,” says the Lord.”

(Jer 15:19-20 Amp)

 

 

NO LONGER PRAY NOR SPEAK THE PROBLEM…

 

PROCLAIM THE SOLUTION!

 


We bear GOOD NEWS... the GOSPEL!

 


So... we, too, can say...


“...the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”  Jn 6:63

THE FOOD PRAYER

Image
  THE FOOD PRAYER   Paul, on the topic of abstaining from certain foods, explicitly tells Timothy, “…For EVERYTHING God has created is GOOD , and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with GRATITUDE ; for it is SANCTIFIED [set apart, dedicated to God] by means of the WORD OF GOD and PRAYER .” (1Ti4:4-5AMP)     Most of us have been taught from a young age to pray for our food. We don't necessarily know “WHY”… BUT WE DO IT… …even into our old age, knowing it is something “proper” to be done, becoming just another thoughtless, religious mantra chanted as a precursor to satiating our appetite.   We have even invented clever, rhyming “prayers” easily remembered and quoted by children. The one my dad taught me:                    “Down with your head… up with your paws… thank the good Lord for the use of your jaws”     Now… was I receiving that bologna sandwich with gratitude?    ...

THE DAILY LOAD

  THE DAILY LOAD   “Blessed be the Lord Who daily loads us with benefits, The God of our salvation! Selah” (Ps68:19)   The word, “selah” is used throughout the Psalms and other Hebrew music and poetry as a notation similar to “a rest” in our modern music. However, it indicates a broader word picture of… “to pause and consider or reflect in order to lift up and exalt the topic just sung or played.”   So… that is exactly what I did after reading this verse… I SELAH’D… meditating on each word and phrase to get the thought, intent, purpose, and motive infused into what was said: ·        Blessed – to offer gratitude with a physical expression of submission, humility, and reverence in relationship during prayer and worship. ·        Lord - Adonay – the ONLY ONE with sovereign power, majesty, and undisputed right of decision ·        Daily – day to day to day… ad infinitum [Lam3:22...

The Perfect Will of God

  The Perfect Will of God   Rom12:2  “…Do not be CONFORMED to this WORLD , but be TRANSFORMED by the RENEWING of your MIND , that you may PROVE WHAT IS that GOOD and ACCEPTABLE and PERFECT WILL OF GOD .”   I was always taught that there were three different WILLS of God… And you are placed in one WILL or another determined by your maturity level, your faith, and your closeness to God.   However… let's dissect this verse to clearly see the intent behind each part.   ·        CONFORMED – properly means: assuming a similar  outward  form (expression) by following the same  pattern  (model, mold). ·        WORLD - properly, an  age  ( era , "time-span"),  characterized by a specific quality  (type) of existence ·        TRANSFORMED - metamorphóō - changing form or shape in keeping with a transformed inner reality...
