Are my Sins covered?

In Romans 4:7 it says blessed are they whose transgressions are forgiven and whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against him.

The word covered in Greek means to be pardoned, to be forgiven, to be concealed. The root word means to hide something or the knowledge of something, or for a thing to be veiled.

Dear Lord, thank you for covering my sins. Thank you for casting them into the sea of forgetfulness. Thank you for hiding them under the blood. Thank you for dying for me so that I could be set free. I Surrender my mind,  my will  and my emotions to you this day. I Surrender my fears. I Surrender my anxiety. I know that you care for the little tiny sparrows. And, if you care for them how much more do you care for each one of us. Thank you for giving me more faith today. Carry me on those eagle wings. May I run the race, that you have set before me with hope, with confidence, and with great courage. In Jesus name amen

OPEN MY EYES-OPEN MY EARS-OPEN MY HEART TO RECIEVE FROM YOU LORD 

The Broken Mended

The Lord God’s spirit is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me. He has sent me to bring good news to the poor, to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim release for captives, and liberation for prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and a day of vindication for our God, to comfort all who mourn, to provide for Zion’s mourners, to give them a crown in place of ashes, oil of joy in place of mourning, a mantle of praise in place of discouragement. They will be called Oaks of Righteousness, planted by the Lord to glorify himself.They will rebuild the ancient ruins; they will restore formerly deserted places; they will renew ruined cities, places deserted in generations past. - Isaiah 61:1-4

   God's true idea of forgiveness is complete Restoration in relationship with us......
 No, we are not God,  but, our goal should be that the things that are broken be completely restored..... we each have the opportunity, when we humble ourselves, and surrender the situation to God, that complete restoration CAN take place.
 The heart of God, which is the Heart of true love,  is restoration, renewal, and Recreation of the things that have been broken.  It is possible for Spiritual cities and spiritual houses that have been devastated and  broken, even for generations.....to be completely restored........
This will take place when we walk in humility and submission to our Abba Father. 
We each, must give that Amazing Grace How Sweet the Sound, that has been poured on us, back to others in our lives. I pray to that end this day 💝
Dear Lord, I ask, by your spirit, that I would forgive those in my life who have wronged me. I pray the things that have been devastated and torn down would be rebuilt. Dear Lord rebuild what has been wasted.  Restore, what the locusts have eaten Joel 1. In Jesus name amen

He Is The Spring Of Living Water

Dear friends,
In Jeremiah 2 the Lord speaks to Israel and says that they have forsaken the spring of Living Water.
 Meaning the one true God... God says, there has never been a nation in history that has exchange their gods for another god... but that is what the Israelites did at that time, and Jeremiah was sent to preach to them.
Why would we forsake the one true God?  Abba, Father IS the Source who gives us living water, which brings us life, restoration, freshness, newness, hope, and a future. No other God can do that, but Adonai...
May each of you know today, greater is He, Abba Father, who is in you, than he that is in the world.
Have no fear, Jesus has overcome the world. Allow him to take over in your life. Ask Jesus for that living water today to overflow like a waterfall upon you. He is the only true Source in the universe.
There is no other God.... thank him today for what he has done for us. Thank you Jesus for dying on the cross for my sin.... thank you for redeeming me, and taking my place... I ask you today to create a new heart in me.  Restore the things that are broken in my life. Restore the years that the locusts have eaten , Joel chapter 1.
Get rid of any distractions, and the things that pull you down or fill your mind be quiet and listen to him. He is for you he is not against you.

Just to See and Hear You Lord

Dear friends,
This is my prayer today for myself and all people everywhere. Lord Jesus, open our eyes to see you face to face.  Let me feel, your intimate embrace today. Let me accept your great love for me. Thank you Lord Jesus for dying for me.   For shedding your blood that I may be free of shame, sin, and guilt.  You set my feet to dancing.  You have turned my mourning into dancing.  Holy Spirit speak today. Let me hear you. Show me the things that hinder my hearing you and Remove them.
In Jesus Mighty name,
Amen
[I always pray] that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may grant you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation [that gives you a deep and personal and intimate insight] into the true knowledge of Him [for we know the Father through the Son].And [I pray] that the eyes of your heart [the very center and core of your being] may be enlightened [flooded with light by the Holy Spirit], so that you will know and cherish the hope [the divine guarantee, the confident expectation] to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints (God’s people),and [so that you will begin to know] what the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His [active, spiritual] power is in us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strengthwhich He produced in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places,far above all rule and authority and power and dominion [whether angelic or human], and [far above] every name that is named [above every title that can be conferred], not only in this age and world but also in the one to come.And He put all things [in every realm] in subjection under Christ’s feet, and appointed Him as [supreme and authoritative] head over all things in the church,which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills and completes all things in all [believers]. Ephesians1:17-23&version=AMP

The Lost coin

Following my last post, I want to touch on one more thing so important to understand.

The Lost Coin

 ^{Luke 15:8} “Or what woman, if she has ten silver coins [each one equal to a day’s wages] and loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? ⁹ And when she has found it, she calls together her [women] friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, because I found the lost coin!’ ¹⁰ In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents [that is, changes his inner self—his old way of thinking, regrets past sins, lives his life in a way that proves repentance; and seeks God’s purpose for his life].”

It`s very possible this coin was part of her dowry.  Women in this time would often wear there dowry in an ornamental way to show that they were the Bride of someone.  Loosing this coin meant loosing part of her bank account.  And would have been considered almost disrespectful to her husband. 
But Look, she searched until she found it. 
Seek and  you will find. 
Jesus seeks after us and will keep knocking on our heart`s door, till we open our heart and let Him inside.  The Lord also wants us each to search after Him.  He says,  "If you seek me you WILL find ME when you SEEK with all your heart."
If you are searching for things today and you never seem to be satisfied, stop looking to the world or temporal things and set your eyes upon Jesus.  
Dear Lord, I surrender my life to you. 
Jesus says to You, "call to me and I will tell you great and awesome things you do not know." Jer. 33:3



 

BRIDE PRICE

The concept of buying a bride may be quite foreign in our country today.  But, in many countries, even some of my blog readers may have experienced or know this concept from real life experiences.  This practice is still seen in parts of Asia, Africa and a few other countries today.  The Bride Price custom involves the groom paying an amount of money for the Bride to the Father.  A friend I work with from Ghana stated to me recently; "If he really loves the Bride he will also lavish gifts upon her." 
Dear friend, this a beautiful example of what our King Jesus did for us.
Jesus paid that BRIDE PRICE when he died for each one of us.
We were purchased by the Price of Jesus`  Life, for our Life, (Eternal Life).  Jesus was obedient to the Father, and willingly laid down His life for us. (Paying the bride price to the Father)
This is a purchase that causes us to be His Bride, when we accept His Love and become One with Him, in heart acceptance of surrendering our lives to the Groom, Jesus.
Not only did He die for our sins but He lavished us with the gifts of His Spirit to show us how GREAT His love is for us.
Rom. 5:
⁶ While we were still helpless [powerless to provide for our salvation], at the right time Christ died [as a substitute] for the ungodly. ⁷ Now it is an extraordinary thing for one to willingly give his life even for an upright man, though perhaps for a good man [one who is noble and selfless and worthy] someone might even dare to die. ⁸ But God clearly shows and proves His own love for us, by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. ⁹ Therefore, since we have now been justified [declared free of the guilt of sin] by His blood, [how much more certain is it that] we will be saved from the wrath of God through Him. Amplified
 Dear Yeshua , Jesus, My Groom, I surrender my life to you.  Just as you gave your life for ME, I give you back MY life, heart, and mind.  I ask for you to come into MY life, restore and renew me.
Holy Spirit, I ask to hear your voice, and that I would walk in the path that follows the Shepherd, the Groom, Jesus.  I want to be your little lamb, that comes when my Master, Shepherd calls. Amen






  

His Presence

The presence of the Lord, as in Joshua must go before us. God`d presence must be a part of our lives and be around us. The presence of God fights the battle on our behalf.  How do we get to the Presence, one may ask?
In the Old Covenant, God`s presence was in a particular  place.  The Ark of the Covenant or the Presence was carried from place to place.  Like in Joshua 3, we read how the Ark went ahead of the people, into the river and the waters receded.  The Presence stood in the center of the river on dry ground as all the people passed by.
In Jer. 31: 31 "Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah-- 32 "not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day [that] I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them, says the LORD. 33 "But this [is] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 34 "No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,' for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more."
So the Presence will be in our hearts and our minds as we commune and worship, read the Word and meditate on the Lord.  We are to hide the Word in our hearts. "Thy Word have I hid in my heart that I might now sin against thee."
Also Heb. 8:10 this theme is repeated,
 “For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 
My prayer today is that we stay in the Presence, hear and listen to the Presence.  Walk with the Presence. Commune with the Presence.  The Presence will bring Peace and Contentment in this chaotic world that we live, when we stay IN the Presence.
Remember the challenge to Pray without ceasing.
It must be where our hearts stay.
May the Lord bless you and Keep you,
May the Lord make His face shine upon you,
May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
May the Lord give you His Peace.
 
 

Reach For His Hand

 Why did Biblical Job go through such pain and suffering?
Was It a test?
What do we do when hard times come in our personal lives?  Do we accuse God or reach for the hand of God? Job knelt down and worshiped God.  Think of having all your belonging taken and then all 7 of your kids killed in a tragic accident.
Job said, I came into this world with nothing and I will take nothing with me when I leave....
Dear friend, are you living a life that is eternity driven....?  Do we even think about eternity....? 
Or are we so wrapped up in our own pain, frustration and offenses, losing sight of our goals....?  Maybe, we do not even have a goal, but let the world push and shove us around causing our identity in God, to be lost....Believing a lie....Have you lost sight of the finish line because of suffering, pain, and diappointments?
Dear friend, no race is easy. It comes with training, pain and hiccups along the way....but the runner thinks and visualizes the goal....Our goal should be heaven.... Think of your life today, in the Light of Eternity....what are the things that are pure, lovely, good, praise worthy....? Think on these things....
For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you,’ says the Lord, ‘plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.Then you will call on Me and you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear [your voice] and I will listen to you.Then [with a deep longing] you will seek Me and require Me [as a vital necessity] and [you will] find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.I will be found by you,’ says the Lord, ‘and I will restore your fortunes and I will [free you and] gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you,’ says the Lord , ‘and I will bring you back to the place from where I sent you into exile.’ - Jeremiah 29:11-14 -AMP

This life will soon be passed, only what's done for Christ will last....
