A Beacon of Joy

Topic: Exodus 12:22

A BEACON OF JOY 

S.Exodus 12: 22And you shall take a bunch of hyssop, dip it in the blood in the basin, and touch the lintel above the door and the two side posts with the blood; and none of you shall go out of his house until morning.

O. We are to take a 'branch'(Jesus) and dip it inside of our spirit where 'silence/remembrance of joy'dwell, and make it obvious to others what is over us. We are to dwell there, each beginning of the new day.

A. What we have inside of us needs to obvious to others. Our 'joy and peace' should be a beacon to everyone who sees us. We should be obvious, without words, that Jesus lives in us!

P. Jesus, I pray that your 'silence of joy' resides in me in a VERY obvious way. Make the joy you have put in me, a beacon to every person who sees me! Help Your joy to draw all others to Yourself.

2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit.

THE SEARCH FOR PURE WATER
Mood:  happy
Now Playing: umma23
Topic: Exodus 7:20, 22, 24

 

THE SEARCH FOR PURE WATER

 S.

Exodus 7:20, 22, 24 (AMP) [Aaron] lifted up the rod and smote the waters in the river in the sight of Pharaoh and his servants, and all the waters in the river were turned to blood. (to die/perish)

22 But the magicians of Egypt did the same by their enchantments and secret arts;

24 And all the Egyptians dug round about the river for water to drink, for they could not drink the water of the [Nile].

 (Nile='the waters whose source is hidden'; 'the abyss of waters'; 'The Black River')

O.

The Egyptians believed Pharaoh's 'sorcerers and magicians' could do all that Moses' God could do. The 'magicians' (Satan's co-horts) and Moses' God (Jehovah) BOTH put death in the 'water'.

The Egyptians now 'searched' for pure water so they could live.

Where did they search?

In the only places they knew...within their own boarders where God's Truth didn't dwell.

The TRUE WATER (the True Spirit, the True Word) wasn't even found there, but they BELIEVED it did because Satan used a 'shadow' to mimic the truth and fool the Egyptians.

 A.

Just like Pharaoh's magicians and sorcerers who could do the same miracles as Moses and Aaron, Satan can make us believe he has the power to ‘refresh our spirits' with his ‘water’ (i.e. New Age, Buddhism, Hinduism, etc.). But there is only ONE TRUE SOURCE of pure ‘water’!

"Choose today whom you will serve!"

I keep hearing this as I am searching for the PURE water to refresh and fulfill my spirit’s lacking.

It's a matter of choosing the right source of 'water' and finding out WHERE that source comes from; Truth or a shadow of Truth.

This is likened to the thousands of satellites in the sky, beaming down their many 'beams'. I must CHOOSE the One and Only Satellite that can bring TRUTH and then focus ONLY on THIS BEAM OF LIGHT! Only the 'Satellite of Truth' can bring my spirit the contentment and fulfillment that I am searching for.

P.

Keep me ever focused on just You, the One and Only Truth! I pray for quick discernment in knowing fake shadows from Your Truth! And THANK YOU for this HUGE revelation in my life, Sweet Jesus! You amaze me by Your love!

Daily Creative Words
Mood:  loud
Now Playing: Umma23
Topic: Exodus 5:13

 DAILY CREATIVE WORDS

S. Exodus 5:13 (KJ) And the taskmasters hasted them, saying, Fulfill your works, your daily tasks (words), as when there was straw.

O. And the 'oppressors' 'oppressed' them, saying, 'finish' your 'deed/work/product', your daily 'words', as when there was 'building material/fodder for livestock' (to build/rebuild/cause to continue)

straw=worthless, a stalk of threshed grain, unimportant, of little value or substance.

A. Our words can have meaning or be meaningless; useless or used to build. Satan, the 'oppressor' would love it if all our daily words were useless. Jesus gave us the power to speak, to create with our words. God created with words. Jesus gave us that unfinished daily task; to speak into being 'something' from 'nothing' by faith.

P. Show me how to daily create with my words, Father, according to Your will. Check my words, Holy Spirit. Help my daily words to be creative and not destructive!

The TRUE Satelite/Shepherd
Mood:  sharp
Now Playing: Umma23
Topic: Exodus 2:16-18

"The TRUE Satellite/Shepherd"

S. Exodus 2:16-18

Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters. And they came and drew water, and they filled the troughs to water their father’s flock. Then the shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock. When they came to Reuel their father, he said, “How is it that you have come so soon today?”

O. The seven daughters (completed 'builders of fruit/spiritual growth') of Reuel ('Friend of God') came to water their father's (God's) flock/Believers (teach the Word/water their spirits). Shepherds (false teachers) tried to drive away these 'builders of fruit'. But Moses ('Drawing out of the Water'/'Rescuer') drove away these 'shepherds' and then gave the seven daughters' sheep water/Word/revelation. When the 'daughters' got home, their father asked them why they had come 'home',having completed their job, so soon. The 'daughters' now understood the revelation of the Word, because the One who KNEW the Word watered their knowledge with correct revelation, unlike the 'shepherds' who didn't want them to know the Truth. These are 'false' shepherds, those who would lead us away from God's revelation and knowledge of the Word. Deeper revelation from the Word causes our 'job' to be done in order and precision...bringing us quickly into our 'job for the day'.

A. When I focus on ONLY the ONE true knowledge giver, Jesus and Holy Spirit, I receive revelation, order, and correct alignment with God's 'job of the day' for me. He is the ONLY giver of correct revelation and knowledge...no other 'teacher' can do that. Any other 'satelite' is incorrect, knows not the Truth. Only Jesus is the correct 'Beamer-Out-Of-Truth'. All others are false paths, diversions, and tellers of lies. Jesus, my Satelite, gets me on the correct path quickly, causing me to be aligned with the correct assignment for this day...and it can quickly be accomplished because all is lined up in Truth. False satelites are 'false shepherds' that would try to divert me from knowing God's revelation and assignments for this day. If I listen or focus on false satelites, I am confused...messed up...and my focus is taken off Jesus.

P. Father, thank You that You have shown me where to focus...that all other 'satelites' are fake and are a diversion from Your Truth...JESUS! Keep my eyes ever on You, Jesus...my ONLY Satelite!

From Human Death Comes Spiritual Life
Mood:  a-ok
Now Playing: Umma23
Topic: Genesis 4:26

 FROM HUMAN DEATH COMES SPIRITUAL LIFE

S. Genesis 4:26 And then Seth had a son whom he named Enosh. That's when men and women began praying and worshiping in the name of God.

(Seth=puts, sets, fixes, substitutes, compensation ; Enosh=mortal man, sick, despared, forgetful, weak, frail)

O. Once human beings realize they are weak and sick, HUMAN, and will eventually die, this is when they start seeking God. God gives our spirit new life as the human body erodes.

A. In my personal life, I know I have no time to waste. NOW is the time to seek God and become closer to Him. My spirit needs more life before this body whithers and dies.

P. More of You, less of me, Jesus! Stir up an acellerated longing for more of You, Lord. My spirit longs for more of You. Show me how to surrender me more. Fill up those surrendered places with Your life, Jesus!

Contentment Shown Through Holy Spirit's Gifts
Now Playing: Umma23
Topic: 1 Timothy 4:14, 15 (AMP)

 

S. 1 Timothy 4:14-15 (AMP)Do not neglect the gift which is in you, [that special inward endowment] which was directly imparted to you [by the Holy Spirit] by prophetic utterance when the elders laid their hands upon you [at your ordination].

Practice and cultivate and meditate upon these duties; throw yourself wholly into them [as your ministry], so that your progress may be evident to everybody.

O. Keep interested in the individual favor (which gratifies us and God) that God has given you by divine inspiration and by the declaring (by you and others) of the purposes of God in your life.

 Care for, attend to carefully, practise, keep interested in, keep concerned with these things...always staying in a fixed position in them...pay attention to what is inside of you, inside of your intellect and mind...so that your progress in the spiritual things of God will be seen and known by others. These make you contented,  oozing out of you, revealing the 'Jesus' inside of you.

A. To gratify is To please; to make content; to satisfy. What really makes me satisfied is the gifts/interests of Holy Spirit deep within my spirit.

I hold these gifts/interests and am to USE them, practice them, hone them, keep interested in them, keep them in the forefront of my mind...keep them in a FIXED POSITION, so that they are observed by myself and others. The contentment they bring to me show that God is 'growing me up'...completeing me.

P. Thank You that You bring contentment through my individual gifts. Bring Yourself glory in the satisfaction You show through me. I pray that others would see the contentment You bring into my life through gifts!

Paying Forward 'Jesus-Love'
Mood:  amorous
Now Playing: Umma23
Topic: Philippians 1:11 (MSG)

Paying Forward 'Jesus-Love'"

S. Philippians 1:11 Live a lover's life, circumspect (examine carefully; scrutinize.) and exemplary (worthy of imitation.), a life Jesus will be proud of: bountiful in fruits from the soul, making Jesus Christ attractive to all, getting everyone involved in the glory and praise of God.

O. Our love for Jesus  and our love for others should be carefully examined and worthy of being imitated, so that Jesus would be seen in us. This kind of scrutinized and copied love, makes us attractive to others bringing a curiousity to them into 'what we have'.

The fruit that comes from our changed soul rises up.  A chain reaction comes from this fruit of 'Jesus-attractiveness' in us that includes a desire to know our God and praise/worship Him.

A. The fruit of someone in love with Jesus would be to have a life that oozes compassion, servitude, and thoughts of others always being first. All these in the complete sincerity TRUTH through LOVE!

I WANT that! And the only way I can truly HAVE that, is to know Jesus, intimately...each day and second of my life. A TRUE and SINCERE love for the OTHER FIRST!

P. Jesus, I thank You for the compassion and servitude You have given to me. You show me pure love. Now I pray that You would help me to BE that to others, too. Help me to pay Your love forward. Help me to be YOU, in truth and sincerity!

The Path Our Soul Longs For
Mood:  a-ok
Now Playing: Umma23
Topic: Psalm 119:57, 58 (MSG)

 "The Path Our Soul Longs For"

S.Psalm 119:57,58 (MSG) Because you have satisfied me, God, I promise to do everything you say. I beg you from the bottom of my heart: smile, be gracious to me just as you promised. When I took a long, careful look at your ways, I got my feet back on the trail you blazed. I was up at once, didn't drag my feet, was quick to follow your orders.

O. When we compare a life with God and a life without God, one is not living at all...the other is total life and fulfillment, clear down to the soul and spirit. Once we find the path to true life and deep down satisfaction, God's path, we desire with all our heart to follow it AND STAY THERE.

A. I have tried to find a satisfied life without God. I have tried to go back to the world's path. There is no true happiness there...no fullness of life. Life there is all on the surface...not deep down.

God's path satisfies because it fulfills my spirit and soul's longings, from the inside out.

When I had gotten off on the wrong way, I restarted my search for what I had on God's Way, but looking to the world/flesh for it. I knew I had found it before...but it wasn't in the world...wasn't in man.

 What my soul and spirit long for is only in God and on His path!

P. I love Your path, Father! It fills my spirit and soul with all that I long for! Keep me strong and steady there, Father. Keep my steps strong and my eyes on You. My soul and spirit can not live off Your path!

Connection to Make RADIANT LIGHT!
Mood:  bright
Now Playing: Umma23
Topic: Romans 14:18

 

S.Romans 14:18 (msg)Your task is to single-mindedly serve Christ. Do that and you'll kill two birds with one stone: pleasing the God above you and proving your worth to the people around you.

0. When our total desire is to serve Jesus...above anyone or anything...driven by our love for Him...then we not only please God, but we shine with the proof that Jesus is in us, showing our worthiness of being in the body of Christ.

A. To serve Christ 'single-mindedly' is, 'metaphorically to obey, submit to and, in a good sense, to yield obedience to Him'. (Thayer Greek Definitions) When I do this, full of the love of Jesus...obeying Him by loving the 'Jesus' in others...then Jesus shines out of me, showing that it is a TRUE and PURE and HEARTFELT compassion. How could that NOT be Jesus?

When the 'Jesus' in me touches the 'Jesus in others' I know it and they know it. THAT'S the SHINE that happens...like electricity! Two connections spark the Light. To shine/sparkle, takes two people or more. And Jesus can not be hidden inside of us...He RADIATES out of those who love Him. PROOF!

P Father, You know that I want Your compassion for Your people. You know I love Jesus! I pray that You would put those in front of me that want that compassion, too. That between all of us, Your electricity would spark the proof of Your love from within us! Connect Your love and compassion within us, Father, so we can be Your radiant Light...Your Son, Jesus!

A Perfect Day
Mood:  happy
Now Playing: Umma23
Topic: Romans 12: 1, 2

 

'A PERFECT DAY'

S. Romans 12:1-2 (MSG) So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him...fix your attention on God.

O. When we give our 'everyday life' and our 'usual daily routine' to God,...trusting Him, listening to Him, obeying Him,...it is an 'offering' to God or 'something offered or presented in divine service, as an expression of gratitude or thanks, to procure some favor or benefit' (dictionary), He turns it into His perfect will...which is His BEST for us!

A. Everyday, each and every morning, I need to fix my ear to Holy Spirit's lips, turn my attention to what He has planned for my day, taking action on His plan FIRST...giving all my time to what He has planned. When I do this...my day will be in His perfect will...A PERFECT DAY!

P It shouldn't be a sacrifice to give You my day, Father...it should be MY routine! Take every one of my days, Father, all my time, energy, thoughts and actions...and make them YOURS...they are anyway! You gave them to me first...now I give them back to YOU!
