Just Ask

Feb6

Look to the mirror within; what reflection do you see? Do you see your past looking back at you, as if it were still a fresh wound? Do you see your future, with gaping holes, for places you yet do not perceive?

Or

Do you see Me–your Loving Savior reflected there in your heart? If your heart is full of Love to its capacity, then you truly see Me, for I AM Love.

  • If you see Compassion, Understanding, Wisdom and Strength…
  • If your heart is overflowing with Grace…
  • And softens with Kindness…

Then you truly emulate who I AM to the world.

If, however, you find that you behold the former, then I have Good News for you!

I came to set you FREE!

Invite Me fully and deeply into your heart–just ASK!

I will come in and fulfill your desires and needs.

I’ll fill up that gaping void.

You will truly want no more!

Ask

“We know that in everything God works for good with those who love him, who are called according to his purpose. For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. And those whom he predestined he also called; and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.” Rom. 8:28-30

“And this is the confidence which we have in him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have obtained the requests made of him.” I Jn. 5:14-15

“Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, and patience, forbearing one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly…” Col. 3:12-16a

“May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ.” II Thess. 3:5

 

Truly Live!

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.”

“If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. Let us have no self-conceit, no provoking of one another, no envy of one another.” Gal. 5:24-25

 

Be at peace and be still from anxiety, but active in the ways of God. Flesh and blood have no place together, and are at odds with each other.

The one is…

  • Your Shield
  • Your Help
  • Your Great Reward

The other is…

Your Adversary

Your Selfishness

Your Thorn!

If you die to yourself, you will live unto Christ and be more fruitful than you ever thought possible or even imagined. Crucify the flesh and do not fulfill the lusts of it, and you will truly live!

 

“For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. To set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, indeed it cannot; and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.”

“But you are not in the flesh, you are in the Spirit, if the Spirit of God really dwells in you. Any one who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. But if Christ is in you, although your bodies are dead because of sin, your spirits are alive because of righteousness. If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also through his Spirit which dwells in you.”

“So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh–for if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.” Rom. 8:5-14

 

Fullness of Joy

Feb1

“Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit.” Ps. 34:13

Very simple. Any words that do not align with the Word of God–that do not bring life and do good to the hearer are evil.

  • Seek good and pursue righteousness.
  • Plant seeds of kindness.

Plant for an expected harvest of good and you will receive it.

  • Do good and pursue righteousness, all the days of your life and righteousness will pursue you!
  • You will be overtaken, with blessing at every turn, and…
  • Your days will be filled with joy and laughter.

The heartache that has haunted you, will forever be vanquished–you will know no pain!

Enter into My fullness of joy!
