PRAYER: Father, Please Feed Us With The Food That You Know That We Need!

 1 Thessalonians 5:17 KJV - Pray without ceasing. | Blessed quotes ...


Heavenly Father, 
We Come In Faith All Doubts Discarded! 

Please Help Us To Remember That 
We Are Your Greatly-Beloved Possession 
By Creation And By Sacrifice
And That We Have Been Purchased From The Last Enemy, Death
With Innocent Blood And Not Silver Or Gold! 

Please Help Us To See And Express Our Need 
For Jesus' Gift Of Salvation 
And, In Mercy
Please Grant To Each Of Us The Strength To Look Up
The Courage To Call Out
And The Opportunity To Confess And Repent Of Our Known Sin 
And Take Our Jesus For Our Everlasting Portion! 

Father, 
Please Feed Us With The Food That You Know That We Need
That Is Fit For The Age And Stage Of Our Journey To Hill Zion
And Continue To Bless Us 
With Your Daily Gift Of Faith That Cannot Fail
And Courage For The Journey That We Must Make 
To Reach Eternal Life! 

Please Help Us To Call Sin By Its Rightful Name 
And To Stop Making Concessions To It Or Excuses For It!
We Need Your Help, Lord
As Delivered Unto Us By That Sweet Spirit
The Holy Spirit That Leads Us Into All Truth!
Please Pity Us And Pour Out Of Your Spirit
For We Are Calling In Hope! 

Remember, Dear Father
The Physically, Mentally, Spiritually
And Emotionally Ill Amongst Us 
And Grant Sufficient Grace 
That Is Known Accessible And Available! 

Please Help Us 
To Be Kind To Ourselves And Each Other
And To Hold On To Our Blessed Hope 
For Our Jesus Is Surely Coming! 

May Our Love For You Grow 
As Your Love For Us Daily Shows Up And Pours Out!
We Love You And We Thank You For The Myriad Blessings
That We Moment By Moment Receive Of Your Holy Hand!

With Grateful Hearts In Known-Blessed Lives
We Thank You For Hearing And Answering Our Prayers
And With All Humility
We Ask That You Please Grant Unto Us These Few Petitions
For We Ask All In The Matchless Name Of
Jesus Christ The King
Your Only Begotten Son
Our Savior, Lord And God!
AMEN.

LIVING AN EMPOWERED LIFE: The Restoration Of All Things Is Coming!

Were You Afraid 
When You Came To Life In Your Mother's Womb!?! 

Can't Say That I Was! 

Let's Just Say That I Was Oblivious ... Unaware! 

Lord Of Glory, God Of Grace
I Come Before You
Heart In Hand
Presenting My Soul's Petition
In The Name Of The Holy Son Of Man! 
I Have A Need, Lord
And I Know That For Me You Care
So I Bring My Burden, My Father
I Give You All
I Will Not Retain A Personal Share! 

I Used To Be Afraid Of Death
And
The Sight And Smell Of The Dead
And The Stench Of Those Flowers ... Uggh! 

Whaaat!?! 
Why Were You Afraid Of Death!?! 

It Just Seemed So Cold ... So Harsh
So Very Final
And 
It Made Me Feel Powerless! 

What's Wrong With That!?! 

Nothing Is Wrong
Because
It's The Truth 
But 
Something Mightily Changed 
And
I Went From Being Powerless
To Being Empowered ... Even Feeling Powerful!

There's Life, Power And Strength
In Faithfully Trusting
The Living Word Of
The Eternal, Holy, God! 

I'd Always Loved Job 19:25
"I Know That My Redeemer Liveth...!"
And I Added The 18 Words Of
A Very Telling Verse Also In The Living Word! 

I'm Intrigued: Do Share! 

Everybody Runs To 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
Offering Up At The End:

"... Comfort One Another With These Words ...!" 
But 
Even Though I Was Comforted
I Was Not Comfortable! 

I Didn't Just Want To Be Comforted When Someone Died
I Desired To Be Comfortable Walking In Life
Proceeding Unto My Own Death! 

Good Gracious! 
I Thought I Was The Only One Who Thought Like That! 

Nope, Nope, Not Even Close! 

Death: Harsh, Cold, Final, Makes Man Powerless
And
We Feel Powerless 
Because 
We Seemingly Have No Personal Control! 
I Wanted Control ... After The Godly Sort, Of Course! 

I Don't Understand What You Mean! 

Look At It This Way:

Man, Me, You Are Known Finite, Terminal!
Jesus Christ, Creator, Lord, God, Savior
Is
Eternal
And
He Says To Us Us All To Trust Him
Worship Him
Obey Him
Rest In Him
Live For Him
Die For Him
Die In Him
But
There Seemed To Me To Be A Disconnect!
I Knew What It Meant In My Head
But
My Heart ... My Desire To Live Abundantly
Wasn't Getting "It!"

I Know That "Feeling!"

We Were Never Meant To Die
But 
After The Curse ... We All Die
Because
We, By Sin, Are Disconnected 
From The Source Of Life!

Death Is Our Enemy!

Death Is The Final Enemy To Be Conquered
And
Death Always Seemed To Have 
Some Upper Hand Against Us ... Again Me
Until I Read



Psalm 48:14 KJV Bible graphics on Twitter | Bible encouragement ...


The Light-Bulb Went Off
And
Just Like That ... I Am Free! 
I Am Plugged Into The Source
And
I Get "It!"

Whom The Son Frees 
Is Free Indeed!

When The Author Of Life
The All-Knowing, All-Seeing, Ever-Present 
Feeling-All-Things-That-Concerns-Me-God 
Is 
Your Personal Retained-By-Prayer-And-Faith Shepherd
The Special-Force Guide For Your Life
Even Unto Your Prophesied Death 
- It Is Appointed Once For Man To Die - 
You Have Every Reason To Live Your Life In The Light
To Walk Wise Before Angels And Men
To Bless Others And Not Curse
To Freely Give As You Have Freely Received
And 
To Endure All Things With Patient Faith! 

The Life-Giver 
Is 
Life Maintainer And Life Sustainer
And 
Glory Be To God
He Is Also The Life Restorer
And
I Am Permitting Him To Lead Me ... Guide Me
All The Way To The Heavenly Home!

I Tell You The Truth When I Say That
We Are Blessed Indeed 
Who Permit The Kindly Light Of Life 
To Lead Us Unto Death: 
He Has Promised ... In Blood, That 
He Will Call Us Up From Death 
And 
Unto His Glory! 

Jesus Christ Conquered Death For Us
So We Must Willingly Take Him As Our Own
So That We Will Finally, Personally, Conquer Death
When He Calls Unto Us To Go Home!

Sinner Or Saint
The Mortal Coil Will Rest In Peace
In The Cold, Cold, Grave
Returning To The Soil
From Which It Came
And The Breath Of Life
Returns To God Who Gave It!

Beloved, 

There Is No Need To Fear Death Nor The Dead
When Jesus Christ Is Your God And Your Guide! 
Let Him Lead You 
And 
You Shall Surely Live Again! 

The Dead Know Nothing
And
Can't Do Anybody Any Harm!

I Am At Peace In And With The Eternal God 
Who Calls Me To Enjoy His Abundant Life Now
And 
His Eternal Life Hereafter! 

I Am Reassured And I Am Blessed
Because
I Know Who Knows The Unknown
And So
The Unknown Holds No Brief For Me! 
I Am In Jesus Christ The King
And
I Am At Peace! 

Apostle Paul Said That He Died Daily!

Indeed, And I Remember The Sentiment
Glory To Glory
And 
Life Unto Life!
The Death Of A Saint Of God And Christ, My Brethren
Is 
A Short Sleep! 

Between Death And Resurrection
There Is No Knowledge Of
The Passage Of Time!
Your Last Thought At Death
Is Your Continued Thought
At Your Resurrection!

We Have The Blessed Hope!
We Who Believe Jesus Christ's Word
And
Trust His Sacrifice Once For All Mankind
Know That The Restoration Is Coming!
The Dew Of Life Will Fall
And
All The Saints Of God And Christ
Shall Triumphantly Answer
When Their Names For Everlasting Life Are Called! 

I Am At Peace
And
I Thank My God For Relief And Release! 

We Live ... Though We Die
Is
The Promise Of The Lord Christ
Who Cannot Lie! 

We Must Endeavor, In All Things, To Live Righteously
And
Endure All Things Faithfully So That We Will Live Eternally!

AMEN!
