There is always something which aches...

 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

..."Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day.

For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal."

2 Corinthians 5:5-9

..."For we know that if the earthly tent which is our house is torn down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

For indeed in this house we groan, longing to be clothed with our dwelling from heaven, inasmuch as we, having put it on, will not be found naked.

For indeed while we are in this tent, we groan, being burdened, because we do not want to be unclothed but to be clothed, so that what is mortal will be swallowed up by life.

Now He who prepared us for this very purpose is God, who gave to us the Spirit as a pledge.

Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord— for we walk by faith, not by sight— we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.

Therefore we also have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him."...

(This is a Metaphor concerning the frailty of our earthly body and the longing we have for our immortality with the LORD)

Overcoming Obstacles

 "Success is to be measured not so much by 

the position that one has reached in life 

as by the obstacles which he has overcome

 while trying to succeed."

----Booker T. Washington

Philippians 4:4-13

 ..."Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice!

Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. 

The Lord is near.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.

The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at last you have revived your concern for me; indeed, you were concerned before, but you lacked opportunity.

Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am.

I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need.

I can do all things through Him who strengthens me."...

Wisdom is too exalted for a fool

 Proverbs 24

"Do not be envious of evil men,


Nor desire to be with them...

...By wisdom a house is built,


And by understanding it is established;

And by knowledge the rooms are filled


With all precious and pleasant riches....

...Wisdom is too exalted for a fool...

My son, eat honey, for it is good,


Yes, the honey from the comb is sweet to your taste;

Know that wisdom is thus for your soul;


If you find it, then there will be a future,


And your hope will not be cut off...

 Isaiah 35:3-4

..."Encourage the exhausted, and strengthen the feeble.

Say to those with anxious heart,

“Take courage, fear not.

Behold, your God will come with vengeance;

The recompense of God will come,

But He will save you.”...

Isaiah 41:10, 31

...‘Do not fear, for I am with you;

Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God.

I will strengthen you, surely I will help you,

Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’...

... “For I am the Lord your God, who upholds your right hand,

Who says to you, ‘Do not fear, I will help you.’...

Autumn Baking Idea

There are Wolves in the Church Body

YES, there are, so BEWARE!

Wolves like to search among church Bodies for "recruits" into their own way of thinking. 

They "prowl" among the congregation and even its children, possibly even your children. So be aware of the people in your Body.

Once the Wolf finds a person (or people) willing to listen to their cleverly woven falsehoods, the Wolf then uses control and manipulation to keep this new recruit "in their fold".

Unwittingly the followers (the recruits) soon learn not to get on the Wolf's wrong side because they will soon see the "Wolf's teeth" (anger, wrath, irritation, shunning, temper tantrums...)

Wolves can turn on you quickly and "cut you down to size", making a scene with you at the center.

Wolves tend to puff themselves up - always thinking they are better than you. Wolves can be simpering sweet, but they are always waiting to pounce on anyone for anything. The reason: Wolves believe they are better than you.

Wolves show their true selves in their inner group who KNOW not to cross them for fear of reprisals.

*Other Christians "fear" them; don't want to get on the angry side of them; don't desire to engage with them; it's not their business...

With Wolves their facial expressions tell you to "watch out!" You don't ever want to get on their wrong side. Instead, when a person is caught in their web they continue trying to please the Wolf at all costs.

Wolves tend to have "their favorites" among their followers as well as having their "whipping boys". Fear runs high in the followers as they are enslaved to the Wolf's whim.

A weapon of Wolves is cruelly shunning their followers.

Wolves use the same dynamics as Abusers use to control their victims. 

Many, many times a Wolf acts like the Sheep in the congregation. Always there, always polite, always with an answer...but "something" doesn't seem right: 

?Are these issues really important? 

?So what if this "person" believes things like that;

?they are so nice, they seem to have the Christian life all in order....

?they seemingly know the scriptures better. 

?They must be right in their thinking. 

?It is just me who doesn't do things right.

?Why can't I ever make "the Wolf" happy? 

God's Word, the Bible speaks of Ravenous Wolves: 

John 10:11-15

Jesus says: ...“I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who is not the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. He flees because he is a hired hand and is not concerned about the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and I know My own and My own know Me, even as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep."...

Acts 20:28-31a

..."Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood. I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; and from among your own selves men will arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them. Therefore be on the alert,"...

Matthew 7:13-20

...“Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it.  For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.

“Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. 

Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they? So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. So then, you will know them by their fruits.

Matthew 10:16

... “Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves."...

Luke 10:1-3

"Now after this the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them in pairs ahead of Him to every city and place where He Himself was going to come. And He was saying to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest. Go; behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves."...

*

You can be set free! 

Cry out to the Lord Jesus Christ! 

You will find freedom in Jesus!

John 8:36

..."So if the Son sets you free, 

you will be free indeed."...

The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you."...

1 Peter 5:6-11

..."Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.

Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. 

Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world.

After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you.

To Him be dominion forever and ever. Amen."...

Beware the Ravenous Wolves in your life!

The Ravenous Wolves can look very spiffy.

The Ravenous Wolves can act so "godly"; Goodie Two Shoes, acting like they are "better" Christians than you, meanwhile, planning devious evil and control against you.

The Ravenous Wolves can know many scriptures...ahem: twisting them, that is, to boast, to use you, or to attack you.

The Ravenous Wolves can turn on you in anger with false accusations in an instant, "putting you in your place".

The Ravenous Wolves can misuse God's precious Word for their own advantage using their own legalisms, controlling all who follow them. 

The Ravenous Wolves can easy deceive you with their great deceptions of God's truth, hindering you from learning God's Word as He intended.

The Ravenous Wolves truly believe they are far more  superior than you are and so they can easily manipulate and control you.

The Ravenous Wolves can even be friends with you, although you may often wonder how or why a "friend" would treat you so disparagingly.

*Even so....the Ravenous Wolves will be held accountable by our Great Almighty God. 

*Don't wait for God's wrath on them! 

*Leave their control of you now!

Hebrews 10:26-31

..."For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a terrifying expectation of judgment and the fury of a fire which will consume the adversaries.

Anyone who has set aside the Law of Moses dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?

For we know Him who said, 

“Vengeance is Mine, I will repay.” 

And again, 

“The Lord will judge His people.”

It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands 

of the living God."...

Matthew 7:12-20

..."“In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets.

“Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it.

For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.

Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.

You will know them by their fruits. 

Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they?

So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. 

A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit.

Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

So then, you will know them by their fruits."...

The Beginning of a Cold Heart: forsaking the Body

 "Forsake not the assembling 

of yourselves together," 

is a most important exhortation. 

Even if we should not derive 

any especial benefit, at the time, 

so far as we are conscious, 

yet we may be kept 

from much harm. 

And very frequently 

the beginning of coldness of heart 

is nourished by keeping away 

from the meetings of the saints."

—George Müller

*

Hebrews 10:19-25

..."Therefore, brethren, 

since we have confidence to enter 

the holy place by the blood of Jesus,

by a new and living way which 

He inaugurated for us 

through the veil, that is, 

His flesh,

and since we have a 

great priest over the house of God,

let us draw near with a sincere heart 

in full assurance of faith, 

having our hearts sprinkled clean 

from an evil conscience and 

our bodies washed with pure water.

Let us hold fast the confession 

of our hope without wavering, 

for He who promised

is faithful;

and let us consider how 

to stimulate one another 

to love and good deeds,

not forsaking 

our own assembling together, 

as is the habit of some, 

but encouraging one another; 

and all the more as you see 

the day drawing near."...

LORD, have mercy on us!

Who understands my sadness and who can know why I cry?

 Psalm 46

God is our refuge and strength,
 an ever-present help in trouble.


Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
 and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, 
though its waters roar and foam
 and the mountains quake with their surging.

There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
 the holy place where the Most High dwells.


God is within her, she will not fall;
 God will help her at break of day.


Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;
 He lifts His voice, the earth melts.

The Lord Almighty is with us;
 the God of Jacob is our fortress.

Come and see what the Lord has done,
 the desolations He has brought on the earth.


He makes wars cease
 to the ends of the earth.


He breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
 He burns the shields with fire.


He says, 

“Be still, and know that I am God;
 I will be exalted among the nations,
 I will be exalted in the earth.”

The Lord Almighty is with us;
 the God of Jacob is our fortress.

He will also delight your soul.

Where there is no vision, the people are unrestrained,

But happy is he who keeps the law."...

Talking about Rain...

If you know the LORD you can rest in Him even in the trials and tribulations of life on this fallen world - rain or no rain.

This safety is an awesome gift to us from our Awesome LORD.

Matthew 5:38-48

..."“You have heard that it was said, 

‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’

But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.

If anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, let him have your coat also.

Whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two.

Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you.

“You have heard that it was said, 

‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’

But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?

If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?

Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. "

For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? 

Do not even the tax collectors do the same?

If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? 

Do not even the Gentiles do the same?

Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect."

Public Safety Announcement from the Piper's Wife

Trusting the LORD on the Long Road

Better Than I

I thought I did what's right

I thought I had the answers

I thought I chose the surest road

But that road brought me here

 

So I put up a fight

And told you how to help me

Now just when I have given up

The truth is coming clear

 

You know better than I

You know the way

I've let go the need to know why

For You know better than I

 

If this has been a test

I cannot see the reason

But maybe knowing "I don't know"

Is part of getting through

 

I tried to do what's best

But faith has made it easy

To see the best thing I can do

Is to put my trust in You

 

For You know better than I

You know the way

I've let go the need to know why

For You know better than I

 

I saw one cloud and thought it was a sky

I saw a bird and thought that I could follow

But it was You who taught that bird to fly

If I let You reach me

Will You teach me?

 

For You know better than I

You know the way

I've let go the need to know why

I'll take what answers You supply

You know better than I

*

 

I can see and so I can know all about you.

So Many Happy Memories

A Lifestyle in Bitterness

Life is full of trials and troubles.

People who are saved by the Lord and those who are not saved from their sins are in the "same boat" with trials and troubles in their lives. 

This world is fallen!! 

*Thankful for Jesus!*

Both kinds of people have a choice:

#1 Be grumpy, bitter, self-focused, etc...

Or

#2 Get up and choose to live your life to the best you can. :o)

Unsaved people can certainly do this, but those of us saved by the grace of God have His Holy Spirit to strengthen and guide us everyday.  Life is difficult, but we can do our best and choose to be kind to others, not shutting people out, being cruel or mean.

The thing with Bitter people is that they tend to spoil it for all of us.

It seems they can't be happy unless they try to ruin other people's lives. They are always causing strife, labeling people, passing falsehoods about others, shunning people, meanwhile, blaming everyone else for their own problems.

If only Bitter people would let go of whatever lies they have chosen to believe, whatever problems they choose to blame on others, whatever issues they have in life...

If you are a Christian, a Believer in Jesus Christ as your Savior, you CAN choose to let go of your bitterness! 

If you are not saved by the grace of God in Jesus you can seek Him, find Him, choose Him! Then letting go of your bitterness will not be on your own, but with His help!

Matthew 6:31-34

...[to the saved] "Do not worry then, saying, 

‘What will we eat?’ or 

What will we drink?’ or 

‘What will we wear for clothing?’

For the Gentiles [the unsaved] eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.

[unsaved sinners! seek Him while He can be found!!] But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

“So [those of you who are saved:] do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

Ephesians 4:17-32

..." So this I say, and affirm together with the Lord, that you walk no longer just as the Gentiles [unsaved] also walk, in the futility of their mind, being darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart; and they, having become callous, have given themselves over to sensuality for the practice of every kind of impurity with greediness.

But you did not learn Christ in this way, if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught in Him, just as truth is in Jesus, that, in reference to your former manner of life, [as unsaved] you [now] lay aside the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit, and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.

Therefore [as a saved person by God's grace through Jesus' sacrifice for our salvation] , laying aside falsehood, speak truth each one of you with his neighbor, for we are members of one another.

Be angry, and yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and do not give the devil an opportunity.

He who steals must steal no longer; but rather he must labor, performing with his own hands what is good, so that he will have something to share with one who has need.

Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear.

Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

[Unsaved Sinners! Now is the time to come to true safety in the LORD's Salvation through Jesus Christ!]

Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice.

Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you."

*

Read and weep....

Matthew 7

“Do not judge so that you will not be judged.

For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you.

Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?

Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ and behold, the log is in your own eye?

You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.

“Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

Or what man is there among you who, when his son asks for a loaf, will give him a stone?

Or if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he?

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!

“In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets.

“Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it.

For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.

“Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.

You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they?

So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit.

A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit.

Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

So then, you will know them by their fruits.

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.

Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?

'And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.’

“Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock.

And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock.

Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.

The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and great was its fall.”

When Jesus had finished these words, the crowds were amazed at His teaching;

for He was teaching them as one having authority, and not as their scribes."

If you have been taken down a false path by others then: 

-ASK FOR HIS FORGIVENESS as HE FORGIVES the REPENTANT-

My Small World

I live in a very small world. 

I feel safe in this world.

My life is with a man of God, 

my precious Beloved. 

Where he is, I feel safe.

When I venture out into 

the world of people- 

I realise how safe I live,

and I am thankful.

When the world catches me 

by surprise, I cringe.

I know what real life is,

but I easily forget.

Today, I was out in the real world,

and it reminded me 

of how hard and rude the world is.

The world is mean and cruel, 

gross and icky, 

hateful and deceitful,

evil and wretched...

full, full of lost people.

They do not think of being lost,

but they are.

They are missing the One Thing

I have.

My Beloved and I have 

a great Salvation.

It is in the LORD God Almighty.

The One in the Bible.

The Bible is His Word 

given to us to learn 

and to know Him. 

It is the Truth.

There is no other Truth.

The LORD says to seek Him 

and you will find Him.

*

Matthew 7:7-8

...“Ask, and it will be given to you; 

seek, and you will find; 

knock, and it will be opened to you.

For everyone who asks receives, 

and he who seeks finds, 

and to him who knocks it will be opened."...

Where There Is Faith

I believe in faithfulness

I believe in giving to myself for someone else

I believe in peace and love

I believe in honesty and trust but it's not enough

For all that I believe may never change the way it is

Unless I believe Jesus lives

Where there is faith

There is a voice calling, "keep walking"

You're not alone in this world

Where there is faith

There is a peace like a child sleeping

Hope everlasting in He who is able to

Bear every Burden, to heal every hurt in my heart

It is a wonderful, powerful place

Where there is faith

There's a man across the sea

Never heard the sound of freedom ring

Only in his dreams

There's a lady dressed in black

In a motorcade of cadillacs

Daddy's not coming back

Our hearts begin to fall

And our stability grows weak

But Jesus meets our needs if only we believe

Where there is faith

There is a voice calling, "keep walking"

You're not alone in this world

Where there is faith

There is a peace like a child sleeping

Hope everlasting in He who is able to

Bear every Burden, to heal every hurt in my heart

It is a wonderful, powerful place

Where there is faith

4Him
