Humility

Are you Spiritually Dehydrated and Parched?

Dear Father, 

Work in my heart and life today, sprinkle my living sacrifice with salt this day, that my life may be seasoned with grace in my relationship to others. Conform me this day that the love from my heart may be authentic and pleasing in Your sight.

Dear Child,

Present your body a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable in My sight. As every offering must be sprinkled with salt, even so your sacrifice of self must also be sprinkled with salt, which will heal and purify your life that it may be acceptable in My sight. The salt will cause a thirst for more of Me, which can only be quenched, not by only reading the Word, but by obeying it. As you obey the Word, you are drinking it and it is refreshing your thirsty soul. As you drink of this water, I am increasing in your life and the old you is decreasing. Let Me arise in power in your life and the enemies of your soul will be scattered.

I salt to cause a thirst, but I also provide living water to quench that thirst. As you drink you are yielding, and as you yield, your living sacrifice is acceptable in My sight.

                                                Thus saith Papa

Leviticus 2:13  And every oblation of thy meat offering shalt thou season with salt; neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meat offering: with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt.

Mark 9:49  For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.

 That salt will cause such a desire and thirst for more of God, it will ignite a fire that will consume all that is not of Him. All that will be left will be His life in us. Only then will our living sacrifice be acceptable and pleasing in His sight as an act of worship for it will be a sweet savor unto Him. Salt will always cause a wound or an offence to smart and hurt, but remember it will also cleanse it, thereby preserving our life. These “saltings” are often the trials that purify our faith as pure gold!

1 Peter 4:19  Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

CHALLENGE: If a dry spell has left you parched due to the heat of a fiery trial do not be discouraged for surely the “salting” has an eternal purpose.

Self Praise is of the Old Man

self_praise_is_no_recommendation_tee_shirt_adult-r1e1d55ddeb814094a0773ac0665d6e42_804gs_512

Proverbs 27:2 Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth;a stranger, and not thine own lips. 

How true that self praise is no recommendation. Anything with SELF in it is of our old nature. The new man should not be chasing after praise or honor but rather genuine praise or honor should follow after him like a shadow.

Rather we should be following after and “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God”Hebrews 12:2

“Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Philippians 6-8

The Enemy’s Prison of Condemnation


Arrow-Image-Oliver-Imprisoned

Dear Child,

If you adhere to my chastisement  through conviction there will be no avenue or foothold for the enemy to drown you in condemnation and rob you of the joy of your salvation. Do not give place to him, for he goes about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour and destroy.

Conviction is the voice of the conscience by the Holy Spirit.

Condemnation is self destructive thoughts of the mind from the enemy.

Conviction is a warning that provides a choice and healing.

Condemnation offers only hopelessness with no healing but rather an incurableness.

There is hope in Christ Jesus!

There is healing in Christ Jesus!

There is forgiveness in Christ Jesus!

There is mercy in Christ Jesus!

He came into the world NOT to condemn it but to save it.

I send conviction because I love you!

The enemy sows condemnation because he wants to destroy you!

Conviction will mature you!

Condemnation will destroy you!

Thus saith Papa

John 3:17  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

Romans 8:1  There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Challenge: If your conscience is clear before God, do not let the enemy rob you of the joy of your salvation. If there is an outstanding offense on your conscience, confess it to God, that the enemy may not have a hold over you.

The Joy Of Home Ministry

The Christmas season lasted a long time as only last night we were still hosting “Get Togethers” as several of our dear friends met in our home for dinner, fellowship, breaking bread together and a precious time of prayer as we prepared our hearts for the unknown the year 2018 will bring us all. We committed to a year of a deeper balanced walk in spirit, soul and body.

Acts 2:46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart.
