The Hope of Real Living!
Mood:
bright
Now Playing: Umma23
Topic: Romans 6:7,8
S. Romans 6:7,8 (AMP) For when a man dies, he is freed (loosed, delivered) from [the power of] sin [among men].8 Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him. O. For he that has completed his life and has come to an end, is innocent and just from the mistakes of the living. Beyond this statement, if we have been completed and have come to and end WITH Chirst, the 'Anointed One', then we have confidence and trust in (HOPE) that we connect to Him as to passing life in the same manner, character and actions as He did; He who is 'The Living'. A. I see much HOPE in this scripture! The conficence and hope that I have in Jesus, causes the 'me' inside of me to die. And through that death, I live more fully in true life. I live in the same manner, character and actions that He has...NOW...because He lives in and through me. But I must die to 'self' in order that He may live. This scripture can also connect to us when we have a loved-one die...for that loved-one is now free from the sins of the living. They can now be considered truly free from making any more mistakes of the living. They are now considered innocent, because no more 'offenses' can be acted on, as when in the earthly flesh. They are now free from sinning. P. HOPE! Thank You, Father, for the Hope of Your Son! Help me to die to 'me'...complete the old me, Father...and help me to live fully through Your Son! Live through ME, Jesus! You are my HOPE!

Inner Happiness; Outer Joy of the 'Good News'
Mood:
happy
Now Playing: Umma23
Topic: Psalm 136:25
S. Psalm 136:25 (NKJ) Who giveth food to all flesh: for his mercy endureth for ever. O. God constitutes/sets 'bread' (the 'Word of God', His Son, Jesus) as our 'Source of Nourishment' for our whole being. (physical and spiritual) This is in order that the whole person would be gladdened with 'good news', and that the 'good news' would be multiplied through us. The results: God's goodness, kindness, faithfulness and beauty would be everlasting through His creation; humanity. A. God's Word is for all of me, both inside and out. When I nourish myself by reading God's Word, my whole being is filled with the 'good news'. I realize that God has put this Word into my fleshly world so that in all things I can see and know His beauty; His love and kindness toward me, personally. When He touches me this way, I go through my life with His inner and outer gladness; I am thoroughly happy. What could spread His 'Good News' better than a person who glows with the joy of God? P. Father, You thought of everything! You knew that when You make me happy inside, it would flow to the outside for Your glory! Shine through me, Lord. Without me speaking a word, spread Your 'Good News' through me. I can not contain Your joy!

God Slayed Our Inner Enemy
Mood:
happy
Now Playing: Umma23
Topic: Psalm 135:10-12
S. Psalm 135:10-12 (NKJ) ...Who (GOD) smote great nations, and slew mighty kings; Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan: And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people. Sihon='violent anger, emotions and behaviors that ruled the 'rebeller' in man Amorite=a rebel/ rebeller Og=eternal, spiritual nourishment Bashan=fruitfulness; getting wisdom/understanding Canaan=humilitated O. Looking at this scripture, through a spiritual sense, this has to do with what God has done for us, spiritually. He destorys inner 'demons' and man's own ways...the 'heathen' in the 'inner-man'. This is how I deciphered these scriptures through types, symbols and deffinitions of words: God slayed numerous strong heathens...those who are unenlightened and don't acknowledge God. God also destroyed numerous and powerful counsels; those who were reigning the 'behaviors' of the 'rebeller' that is in the 'inner-man'/spirit. He destroyed the 'eternal, spritual nourishment' with it's wisdom and understanding that was in the fleshly part of man. He slayed all the dominions of humiliation and then He 'set' the 'Way' for a possession/inheritance for 'those who prevail with God'...HIS people. A. What this is saying to me is that God has conquered ALL the inner evil inside of man; the influences of satan and his co-horts. We need to feed our spirits on God's spiritual enlightenment...His Word and His Spirit! When I was saved, accepting Jesus as the Lord of my life, my whole life changed...I was a differnet me...from the inside out. God had destroyed all those things listed above, that had influenced and 'ruled' my inner-man. Once I accepted Jesus as the ruler of my life, God conquered all satan's influences inside of me...the ones that ruled me from my birth because of Adam's fall. (we were born with 'sin' and influences from satan automatically rule human-beings unless we choose Jesus!) I went from a 'heathen' to a 'prevailer' in a matter of seconds....because that's just the way God is. He wants me more than I want Him...when we decide He is our Lord, He possesses us, changes us, in a matter of a nano-second. P. Father; I thank You that You have conquered and distroyed the 'heathen' in me! Thank You that I am now called by Your name...YOUR character...help me NOT to destroy or desicrate that. Help me to Prevail with YOU as Your chosen one!

I Am The 'Bible'; Am I the Truth?
Mood:
loud
Now Playing: Umma23
Topic: Romans 3:3,4
S. Romans 3:3,4 (AMP) What if some did not believe and were without faith? Does their lack of faith and their faithlessness nullify and make ineffective and void the faithfulness of God and His fidelity [to His Word]? By no means! Let God be found true though every human being is false and a liar, as it is written, That You may be justified and shown to be upright in what You say, and prevail when You are judged [by sinful men]. O. Just because we, as Believers, don't always tell the truth...of which we SHOULD...that doesn't make God a liar. But we, as His Chosen People, are to be 'justified' and are to be 'shown to be upright' in what we say. Our word is to be counted on, as God's Word is to us. When we speak only truth, no matter what, then no man can say we lie; our word will be counted on and we will be called a 'trusted and reliable people'; examples of the TRUE WORD OF GOD. A. ALWAYS telling the truth is a very hard thing to do. But I want my words to be counted on. I desire to have a trustworthy character...and never be distrusted by others. I am an example of the Word of God. I AM THE ONLY "BIBLE" THAT SOME PEOPLE WILL EVER READ'. If I am not reliable, and say that I am a Believer and God lives inside of me, then who is going to believe that the Word of God is true? Something to think about.... P. Father, be in my mouth. Be in my actions. Be the 'Bible' and the 'Word of Truth' in me. Make me always true to Your Word. Make me YOUR Truth!

We are God's Jews!
Mood:
lucky
Now Playing: Umma23
Topic: Romans 2:29
S. Romans 2:29 (AMP) But he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and [true] circumcision is of the heart, a spiritual and not a literal [matter]. His praise is not from men but from God. O. A 'Jew' is one who has an 'opened hand of power, means and direction'..in other words, one whose power, means and direction is surrendered. (From Stongs & Brown, Driver, Briggs Greek and Hebrew Dictionaries...the 'rabbit trail' that led me to the meaning of the word "Jew"=G2453, G2448, H3063, H3064, H3034, H3027) So, the one whose 'power, means and direction is in a hidden instrumental,fixed position of surrender...in his soul, mind, will and character...and whose position of commendation is not by the learning of a human being, but from God...IS God's 'chosen'...IS God's Jew...IS from God's Chosen people! A. When searching about the meaning of this scripture, I searched out the word 'Jew' as far back as the meanings would take me. It says that a human being whose heart, will, character and mind are surrendered to God...THAT is a JEW! I am a JEW, YOU are a Jew...all who hold God in there hearts and are surrendered to God are a Jew! WE are God's chosen people...WE are God's Jews! P. aFather, I thank You that You have chosen me to be Your 'chosen Jew'! Keep me always 'open handed', Lord, to surrendering ALL of me to YOU!

Inner Knowledge; No EXCUSES!
Mood:
incredulous
Now Playing: Umma23
Topic: Romans 1:19,20
S. Romans 1:19,20 (NKJ) ...because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,... O. This is why we have come to know what God has made evident in His 'instruments', the 'products of His handiwork'; He has made it evident in these 'products' that His eternal abilities, along with His divine nature, has formed them. God's 'products', human-beings, have no excuse or defense in saying that 'God does not exist'. They have the inner knowledge that they were made by God. All creation shouts it! How could an 'accident' be so perfect. Only a Divine God could make creation in such perfection. A. I know people who say they don't believe that there is a God. How could they walk on earth without seeing the perfection of creation? Everything, one thing to another, fits together perfectly. That could not be an accident of chance. God loves us so much that He created for us the perfect world. He loved us so much that He put diversity in this world so we wouldn't be bored. He loved us so much that He created everything to 'fit' together in a 'circle of life'. What we 'see' can not lie. What we know inside is fact! We have no excuses. God DOES exist. He IS THE SUPREME CREATOR, and He lives in US! P. aFather, I KNOW Your handiwork, and it fills me with joy! Thank You for this beautiful world. Open others eyes to see Your love through Your creation. Show them that they have NO EXCUSE, that their eyes can not lie, and that You DO LIVE!

'Heart-Blockages'
Mood:
special
Now Playing: Umma23
Topic: 2 Thessalonians 3:5
S. 2 Thessalonians 3:5 (NKJ) Now may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ. O. Paul desires that the 'The Supreme Guide'...God....would remove all hinderances that block the path to the soul, spirit and mind. He asks that those who have 'Victory Over Falsity and Lies' (the Thessalonians) would be steered into 'purpose' and have the desire to show kindness and good will to God. These 'desires' would result in a sustaining perserverance, a cheerful and hopeful endurance to go through their 'purpose'....just as Jesus had. A. I, too, desire to find a clear path to right thinking. I, too, desire a straight path to my soul and spirit, without blockages. I DO have the victory, through Jesus. Because of what Jesus did for me on the cross, my heart should be steered and turned to loving God, showing Him kindness and good will, all blockages to loving God, removed. The result of being freed from 'heart-blockages' is that I 'sticking to' Him with the desire to stay with Him, no matter what, because of my love for Him and what He has done for me. God showed me an example of 'Endurance' when He revealed Jesus to me. Jesus endured a terrible death on the cross because He loved His Father...because He could see the future results of being steered by Father God down the straight path to His heart (Jesus had God's desires in His heart)...that result was His Supreme Good Will for ME! He died for me, endured death for me, stuck it out for me...because of the love and 'opened path' in His heart to God! P. Father, I pray that You would clear the path to my heart of blockages so that You can come right in! I want YOUR desires, YOUR planes and purposes...and that YOU would have a straight path into my spirit, soul and mind! Keep me enduring, Father....the results will be YOUR desires in my heart!

Veins of Gold
Mood:
quizzical
Now Playing: Umma23
Topic: Psalm 78:1-3
S. Psalm 78:1-3 (NKJ) Give ear, O my people, to my law; I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old, which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us. O. We can be the receiver of God's Divine revelations! How? By listening with interest and attention to God's directions and instructions in His Word. He will free up and unstop His mouth (the limits and boarders of His Words)...letting His Words bubble out and spring forth...by using 'sayings and parables'. These 'sayings and parables' are the expressions of basic truths using simple stories to illustrate moral lessons, using comparisons...parallels. He will 'gush forth from His mouth', using puzzles and riddles (parallels and symbols)...expressions and sayings...which we have heard and recognize from the past, recounted to us by those who came before us. It is then OUR job to decipher these puzzles, riddles and parallels in order to apply them to our own lives! A. God's whole Word is full of puzzles, riddles, parallels and symbols. I love how He hides things in His Word for me to dig out! It's a Book of Hidden Treasure that keeps me digging in order to find the 'How-To-Really-Live' instructions for my life. As I keep studying, I always uncover 'veins of gold' that are wells of wisdom and knowledge for my personal life. To some people, these same old stories get boring. But when you really dig into them, there is personal gold for your life. Each story or scripture has a deeper, spiritual meaning....one that can be applied to personal life. It just takes digging to get that gold out! God did this on purpose so that we would constantly be searching for more of Him and His Word, drawing us into a personal relationship with Him. P. Father, I thank You for Your Word. I thank You that it draws me into a closer intimate relationship with You. Thank You for Your puzzles and parallels...Your 'veins of gold'. Keep me ever digging in Your Golden Truths. Keep me always curious, Father, and hungry for more of Your Word!

God's Voice Guides us Through the Maze of Life
Now Playing: Umma23
Topic: Psalm 95:6-8
S. Psalm 95:6-8 (NKJ) Oh come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker. For He is our God, And we are the people of His pasture, And the sheep of His hand. Today, if you will hear His voice: Do not harden your hearts, as in the rebellion, As in the day of trial in the wilderness,... O. When we worship God, knowing that we are lead by Him and that He is our Creator and Shepherd, we are to LISTEN to Him. The work 'IF' in this scripture..."IF you will hear His voice"...is a conditional word. We have the choice to hear Him or not to hear Him. If we DO hear Him...open our hearts and minds to what He is telling us, with the intention to obey Him....then we will understand where we are to go or what we are to do. If we DO NOT listen to Him, with the attention to obey, we will wander through this life, getting lost and off the 'chosen road'....away from our 'place of purpose'. A. I can see a maze. God's voice guides me through that maze to the place at the end...the exit. If I listen to His voice with the intention to obey Him, I'll not get stuck in corners or in wrong turns. I'll find the 'exit' quicker, and without strife or worry. This is the maze of my life. When I worship Him, knowing that He is the one with 'my life's plan', and when I listen to Him with the intention to obey Him, I will go through this life without 'road blocks' or problems. I will find the purpose God has for me in this 'adventure of life'. P. Father, help me to never be 'thick-headed' and to always hear Your voice with the intention to obey You! I know You are my Creator and Shepherd. Help me to always find YOUR way through this maze of life and not to go MY way. Your way is always THE way!

Our Secret Place
Mood:
hug me
Now Playing: Umma23
Topic: Psalm 91:1
S. Psalm 91:1 (NKJ) He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. O. The person that practices going under the protection of the "Upper Most and Most Powerful God", El Shaddai, will stay permanently in the rest of His protection. In this place of personal secrecy, He hovers over us in order to 'submerge' us in Himself as we pass through this temporary life. A. God SO wants us to be protected! He knows how hard this life on earth can be! So He gives each and every one of us a spiritual 'place' to go in Him; our personal 'Secret Place'; a place of rest and protection that we can hide in anytime. But we have to PRACTICE in order to 'get there' and 'abide' there. We have to practice submitting our hearts and our minds to Him and allow HIS thoughts and His Spirit to reach us from the inside. Because we are human, this can be hard. But God knows this. As we practice getting closer to Him, listening to Him, thinking on Him, we have the ability within our own selves to hide in the shadow of His wings/protection. All of Psalm 91 tells us of this 'secret place'. It's our 'how-to' guide to find our personal 'secret place' with our Most High Almighty God...our El Shaddai! P. Father, I thank You for having the foresight in all that we will need! I thank You that You have provided each one of us a personal inside place to nestle into Your arms and rest and be protected in You. Thank You, Father, for Your Secret Place!
