Preparing for the trip and experiences of a lifetime to Israel on Saturday, November 5th. As a student and teacher of typology from the Old Testament I am so excited and looking forward to being with the Director of the Jerusalem Center of Biblical Studies and Research, Shlomo Hizak for 12 days. As Saint Augustine has said “The New is in the Old concealed, and the Old is in the New revealed”.

So appreciating the opportunity to share, see where Jesus walked and be baptized in the River Jordan.

I also look forward to meeting again my new friend Robert Ilatiov, who is a member of Knesset Government in Israel, and serves as Chairman of Israel Beitenu Faction and the Israeli Hi-tech Caucus. When I was introduced to Robert at a conference last year we shared and compared our experiences both in Israel and Northern Ireland living with terrorism. Robert said he would arrange to take me to the parliament in Jerusalem. How exciting is that!

I always finish my correspondence with “Walk with the King and be a blessing” and soon “I’ll be walking with the King where He walked”

Covet your prayers for traveling mercies and safety while in Israel!

My Prayer

As I spend time each day journaling my time with God, I am inspired by the following prayer that is framed on my office wall, as a motivation each morning as I prepare to walk with the King and be a blessing by His grace and power throughout the day.

“Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love,
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved, as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.” 

? St. Francis of Assisi

20/20 Spiritual Vision

Although my eye surgeon restored my vision to 20/20 three years ago after several procedures I have developed some blurriness recently causing me not to see as clearly as I had. I had an appointment today with the surgeon to diagnose what is going on. This may be only a physical problem but sometimes I need to have a spiritual insight check up with the Great Physician. I may no longer be spiritually blind but I may spiritually develop blurriness or become spiritually dry in the same way we can have physical dry eyes. We can apply eye drops to lubricate our physical dry eyes as prescribed by our eye doctor and I believe the Great Physician would prescribe no less than to apply the water of the Word to lubricate the dryness of our spiritual eyes that we may see Him more clearly and see ourselves, without the fogginess of leaf coverings, totally naked in the sparkling clearcut mirror of the Word.

Did You Open the Door Today?

Revelation 3:20, 22 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock:if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Although this verse is often used as an invitation to the world who don’t know Christ, we must take a closer look, for saints, this was an invitation to the church, to those who had already responded to His love. This was written to the church of Laodicea who had grown lukewarm and had become self sufficient and no longer took the time to fellowship with Him.

So I ask again “ Did you open the door today?”

What Is Humility?

October 17, 2016 by Leave a Comment

We cannot manufacture humility

Because humility is not something we say or do,

But rather it is something we are.

Unknown

1 Peter 5:5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility:for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble
