The road to Emmaus

September 5, 2012 by Leave a Comment

As I was meditating on the experience of the two who encountered the risen Lord on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-31), I saw footprints from their journey that I could follow in my fellowship with the Lord.

1. They not only invited Him to stay with them, they compelled Him to stay.

He will also sup with us if we open the door and invite Him to fellowship with us.

2. As Jesus blessed and broke the bread, their eyes were opened and they knew Him.

He will also break manna for us and strip the heavenly corn of its husks. Only then will our spiritual eyes be opened and we will see Him in the Word.

3. Their hearts burned within them as He talked with them and opened the Scriptures to them.

As we attentively listen for His voice during our quiet time alone, there will be a witness in our spirits as our hearts burn within us, while He talks to us and opens the Scriptures to us.

Chapter Eight of my book “Developing a Secret History with God” will encourage you as you continue your pilgrim journey in their indelible footprints on your road to Emmaus.

Pressing on into His Presence

August 30, 2012 by Leave a Comment

If we were going on a job interview we would dress appropriately, or if we had an audience with the Queen of England it would be mandatory, as a woman, to include a hat and white gloves in my attire. However unlike other appointments with people, we don’t prepare our appearance to approach God but rather we prepare our hearts. For the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart (1 Samuel 16:7). We don’t wear certain attire but rather we clothe our hearts with certain attitudes. As we approach the throne we clothe our hearts in an attitude of:

1. Gratitude
2. Humility
3. Holiness in reverent fear

We draw near to praise Him clothed in gratitude with thanksgiving. We draw near to fellowship and grow in His presence clothed with a contrite and humble heart. We draw near to worship Him clothed in holiness.

If it is your heart’s desire to Press on into His Presence, chapter nine in my book “Developing a Secret History with God” will inspire and encourage you.

The above  sketch of the High Priest is such a window to my soul of the attitude garments we must wear as we approach the Throne of Grace.

Why do we struggle ?

August 21, 2012 by Leave a Comment

I think we would all agree that this one area, of faithfully spending time alone with God, is the area we struggle with as believers more than any other aspect of our Christian walk. In all other aspects of our walk we have others who can hold us accountable, but this is one area where we have to hold ourselves accountable. This is the part of our spiritual history that is hidden from the view of others, known only to the Lord and ourselves. The enemy is always at hand to offer justifiable excuses to muffle our conscience, be- cause he knows the spiritual power in the life of a believer who spends time in the Father’s presence. We are engaged in spiritual warfare as we endeavor to set aside this precious time to press on in. Having been there many times myself I cried out in desperation: “Teach me, Lord, to draw near that I may truly worship you! Why do I struggle with drawing near to be alone with You, when I know it is a privilege, and that privilege had an awesome price?”

“Developing a Secret History with God”

August 11, 2012 by Leave a Comment

This is not a book about dead religiosity BUT rather about a vibrant growing deep relationship with God.

This is not a book about deep knowledge BUT rather about a deep living faith.

This is not a book about doing BUT rather a book about becoming.

This book will reveal to the reader that God is not some mysterious entity out there somewhere BUT rather a personal loving heavenly Father who is as close as their own hearts who wants to fellowship with them as He did in the garden of Eden.

This book will strip away layer by layer of the inherent mystery the enemy has made of God’s children hearing His voice. 

This book will guide and take you on a journey into His presence. 

This book will inspire and encourage:

  1.  Those who are facing trials or sinking into hopelessness and despair:
  2. Those struggling with setting time aside each day to spend alone with God:
  3. Those who are “burned out” with busyness even good busyness:
  4. Those who have never considered they could hear God’s voice from within:
  5. Those desiring a more intimate relationship with God:
  6. Those seeking help to start this exciting journey with God:

An Instrument in His Hand

July 25, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Dear Child,

As you hold your pen lovingly, as a gift from John, even so I lovingly hold you in My hand. The pen is the instrument but the hand does the writing. Even so you are an instrument in My hand, but I am the one who inspires, anoints and opens doors.

Rest in My hand, even as your pen rests in your hand.

Flow with Me even as your pen flows with your hand.

Continue to be refilled with the Holy Spirit even as your pen needs to be refilled with ink.

There would be no imprint if your pen had no ink, even so your writing would have no imprint on hearts without the refilling of My Spirit.

Thus saith Papa
