LOAVES AND FISHES, FOOD FOR ETERNITY

Posted By buzz_roberts on July 10, 2010

What is Joy? Where and how can we as individual people find it? I was recently asked , “what joy was?” We have all heard people declaring casually, that they, had the “Joy.” What does God’s word say about it?
In the Old Testament, the first instance where the word “joy” is used, is in I Samuel chapter 18: Israel, was in the midst of war; Saul, who was the current King, had lost favor with GOD, by his disobedience to the commandments of God.
Samuel, God‘s select prophet for that day, had recently been told by the LORD GOD Himself, to anoint David, the son of Jesse to be the next King of Israel. David was a shepherd in his father’s fields. He was young, but must have also been courageous and obedient to his father; for the Scriptures state that he had spent many a night guarding the sheep from wild beasts.
He was also known, for his skill in playing the harp and singing of psalms. He had spent many a night in his father’s fields, serenading his God, and soothing the sheep. He was an avid praiser and worshiper of the LORD GOD.
The Lord had given him strength to kill a lion and a bear, in the defense of his father’s sheep. Apparently he had become very close to the LORD, and learned to listen to HIS voice, during these long nights. His faith in GOD had grown immensely, thereby enduing him a beautiful countenance.
One day, during this particular time of war, David’s father asked him, to take some food to his brothers who were on the front lines amassed against the Philistine enemy; fighting for King Saul, on behalf of the Nation of Israel. He was also to inquire of them concerning the battle and it’s progress.
When he arrived, Israel was bantering with the Philistines. They had a mighty champion, named Goliath, of Gath. He was intimidating the Israelite soldiers with his enormous stature and demeaning language. He was said to be of the last of the Giants, as referenced in Genesis 6:4. Indeed, he was a giant of a man and the terror of the Philistine army. The Israelite army fled before him in helpless fear.
As David looked upon the fear and anguish in the faces of Israel, he was encouraged in his heart. He felt courage from the Almighty God himself. He believed strongly, that everything he had learned about pasturing, and defending the sheep, could now be used by GOD Himself, to defend his people. To protect the sheep of GOD’S pasture God had been preparing the way for David to be king of His people. This must have been in his mind as well. Samuel had already anointed him to be king someday.
A rage of defiance grew in the heart of David, who had been groomed for this type of battle by the hand of GOD. He was not intimidated by the size or stature of this Philistine giant. He ‘knew,’ what faith in GOD could accomplish.
He boldly inquired of the soldiers: what would be given to the man who could slay this ungodly Philistine, and remove the reproach from Israel? When his courageous words, were relayed to Saul the King, David was rushed to his tent. I Samuel 17:32 , states, that David encouraged the king, that none should be fearful. For he, as a servant to the king, would fight Goliath on behalf of the people. Saul replied that David was but a youth, and had never been in a battle. Goliath on the other hand, had been trained from his youth, in war. He was considered a master in battle.
David encouraged Saul, about the training, he had undoubtedly received, while guarding his father‘s sheep. On one particular occasion, a lion had caught and stole a lamb away, in his ferocious grasp. He approached the lion, and pulled the sheep out of it’s teeth. In doing this, he enraged the lion, who leaped at him. David slayed the lion, in defense of his father’s sheep. Scares on his body must have been visible proof shown to the King in defense of this miraculous story.
He also proclaimed, “Thy servant slew both the lion and a bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine, (non-Israelite) shall be as one of them, because he has defied the armies of the Living GOD. The LORD hath delivered me out of the paw of the lion and the bear, and HE will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine warrior.“
David must have impressed the king, because, his reply was, “The LORD go with you.” Then he proceeded to dress David in his own armor. David picked up the sword. This way of fighting was foreign to him. He could not fight this battle the king’s way. He must use the weapons GOD had perfected in him. He removed all the metal, and picked up his shepherd’s staff, leaving the tent.
As he drew near to the Philistine army, he crossed a brook, Kidron. He picked up five smooth stones, placed them in his shepherd’s bag, his sling in his hand. Five, in biblical numerics, representing grace, divine favor. He chose five smooth stones-no roughness or pointed edges were left on these stones, they had been smoothed by the test of time, whereby preparing them, to fly through the air, straight to their intended target. They like David, were ready for battle to be used by the Great Shepherd’s hand.
As he approached the army of the Philistine‘s, David declared: “You come to me with sword, spear and shield. But I come to you, in the name of the LORD of Hosts, the GOD of the armies of Israel, who you have despised. This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee; and cut your head off, and I will leave the entire Philistine army dead for the birds and wild beasts to devour; by this Victory, will all men know, there is a GOD in Israel. This legion of men shall see that the battle is the LORD‘S. Today, He will give you into our hand.”
David ran closer, selecting a stone from his bag; the stone was in the sling; and flying through the air, deep into the forehead of the champion; before the warrior could react. He fell to the earth dead. David ran up to him, picked up the warrior’s own sword and decapitated him. When the Israelites saw that the Philistine’s were now frightened and at a disadvantage, they pursued them. This is how GOD won the battle for them that day.
From this day forth, whatever strategy the king set before David, he accomplished with great intelligence and with the utmost success. Because of this, Saul elevated him in the army. This pleased the people and Saul’s army as well. He became a National Hero.
When king Saul, and his army; were returning home after the defeat of the Philistine’s; the women ran out to them singing and dancing in celebration of the occasion. (I Samuel 18:6) And it came to pass as they came, they saw David also with them; he was returning as the conquering hero who had slain Goliath of Gath, the champion of the Philistine army. The story of the slingshot miracle had already reached every ear.
The people were excited. The women came running forth from all the cities of Israel; with joy, playing musical instruments with much singing and dancing. This is the first use, of the word ‘JOY,’ in the scriptures. It means exceedingly glad, and with great rejoicing, as a festival. The women sang a song saying, Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands. The people were ‘reacting to the victory GOD had won,’ at the hand of David. David recognized that GOD was with him in battle. Unfortunately, Saul and the people did not.
We as Christians must learn to recognize the hand of GOD in our lives. It is at times like this of David, that we may experience the Joy of the Lord. We each have experienced special and sometimes miraculous deliverance’s in our lives: near death experiences, miraculous answers to prayers. We should never take these for granted; the many and varied situations which could have turned out disastrous or even fatal. But miraculously, with meaning and purpose which promotes the will and glory of God, every incident, in a Christian’s life should be weighed in Father’s balance. When properly done so one can behold His grace, giving us a thankful heart, giving us great joy, because of His special touch in our lives. We are being prepared daily for the battle which will end in the final blow to God’s enemy and ours, who is called Death.
When we see HIS handiwork, we, like David, must learn to give God the glory. We do this by thanking Him and telling others of His intervention in our lives. Yes, He loves each of us personally. But He wants each of us to share His blessings in our lives with others, so they may learn to trust Him also.
God, indeed saved David from the teeth and mighty claws of the lion and the bear, to protect him. But it was on behalf of his father’s sheep, that he was in the fields, whereby giving opportunity to slay these enemies of his Father’s sheep. Even so, it was on behalf of the people of God, that David slaughtered the champion of the Philistine’s. God gave him these two victories in defense of His helpless creature’s, the Israelite Nation.
We as the creation of God, though gifted in many respects, are quite helpless when it comes to our own mortality. Our only hope rests in the divine person of Jesus Christ; who sacrificed Himself, becoming our atonement, providing us access to the presence of His Father, God. Jesus is the Deliverer from the enemy called Death. He has opened the door for all to come to the knowledge of Life and the joy it brings through trust and obedience to Him.
As we study His word and seek Him in our daily lives, we will experience moments of that pure “Joy;” that is to us, like a beam of heaven, shining into these new hearts of flesh God created by faith in His Son. May His true ‘JOY,’ fill your hearts and lives, as we learn to recognize and remember, all the times, His divine Touch was evident in our lives. We walk with Christ by faith, but sometimes He gives us visible proof of His everlasting Love and abundant Grace in our daily lives. We are trully blessed, when we come to know Him as LORD.
If you have never experienced anything like this, then invite Him into your life, by asking Him to forgive you of all your sin and make you complete in Him. Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Breathe in the clean, pure air, and learn to recognize His ‘Joy’ in your life.
May Christ richly bless you in your daily lives, R. Roberts

I realize we all receive hundreds of emails every month. Each one is trying to persuade us in some form, concerning what we should desire or believe. What I am sharing with you, is from the King James Version of the Bible, using the Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance, to translate today’s version back to the original manuscripts. Some people may not know these tools are available for us to use today. They give us a clearer picture of what the bible originally said. Sometimes, their may be several meanings, and I try to give you all of them, as it relates to the subject.
The book of Titus was written for the early Christian church. It was simply a letter, written to Titus himself. He was a Gentile, convert to Christ, not of Judean descent;who Paul the Apostle had ordained to teach the people of Crete. This letter, was instructions, for those people and also we today who desire to know more deeply the mind of Christ. Maybe their is something here for each of you to expand upon in your own life, as their has been for me, in my studies.

MORSELS OF MANNA
Titus 3:1- 5
1) Remind the people to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to do every good work. {Quietly suggest to them, to be subject to, to submit themselves, to authority and regulated powers, not attracting negative attention to oneself, but always prepared to act as a law abiding citizen .
2) To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle showing all meekness to all men.(Do not blaspheme or defame anyone. Be a peace maker, not a trouble maker. Do not be prideful, or arrogant; always getting your own way. Show humility, by stepping back quietly, instead of overreacting either verbally or physically.) Ouch!
3) For we ourselves were also one time foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving all kinds of divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. (We ourselves have also been carnal, unwise, unintelligent, stubborn, roaming away from the truth. Being a slave to various ‘forbidden’ desires and pleasures. Living a troubled life, void of good manners and morals. Acting out of jealousy, and hateful to one another)
4) But after, the kindness and love of God, our Savior, toward man appeared.
(When the usefulness, gentleness, moral excellence, goodness) of love of God (Fondness and love toward mankind, and benevolence-philanthropy.)
Our Savior (Our Deliverer, our God, and our CHRIST-GOD’S MESSIAH} toward man appeared. (when He became visible, shined His light upon us) CHRIST in the flesh, reveals Himself to each of us through His Holy Scriptures. To know Him, we must seek for Him in His Word..
5) Not by works of righteousness which we have done, (Not by our own efforts, occupations, or deeds. Nor by our own character, can we be justified.) but according to His mercy has He saved us, (But because of His active, human and Divine compassion and tender mercies, (He saves, delivers, protects, heals, and preserves us.) by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost.(a bath, immersion, a baptism- to be initiated into the kingdom of CHRIST.) of regeneration (The state or the act of spiritual rebirth. New birth, by the grace of God, that change, by which the will, and natural enmity of man to God, and His law are subdued, and a principle of supreme love to God and His law, or holy affections, are implanted into our hearts.) Messianic restoration. (To ask for Christ to forgive us of all our sins, and cleanse us from all ungodliness, brings us into the kingdom of God. As we walk with Him daily, He continues, to cleanse us from things in our lives that are not pleasing to Him. Accepting Him as God’s Messiah, brings restoration- a spiritual renewal of holiness through His Word of Truth, the Bible.
My prayer is that this study will encourage you, to read, to study, and absorb, the truths, from Father’s Word, on a daily basis. It is here we are given a look into the mind and heart of the Holy God. What a privilege indeed. Here, we can begin to know; what God thinks, what He wants, from each of us, and what He has already, provided for each of us.
His willing sacrifice of Himself, who also was God’s choice, of the spotless, perfect lamb of God, by His death on Mt. Calvary‘s cross. His miraculous Resurrection from the dead, and Ascension of His flesh and spirit body, to the right hand of God. What powerful morsels of truth await us, as we earnestly seek Him in spirit and in truth.
Your Sister In CHRIST, Robyn Roberts

THE LORD’S PRAYER

Matthew 6:9-13
9) After this manner therefore pray ye, “Our FATHER who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. (pray-to be pray earnestly to GOD, to believe for HIS will.)
(Father-Our Heavenly parent.) (Heaven-sky- the abode of GOD.) (Hallowed-to make holy, purify or consecrate. Mentally to venerate-deep respect or reverence for GOD. HE is pure, holy and consecrated-set apart.) (THY Name- THY authority. HIS character from the idea of HIS notoriety.)
10) THY kingdom come. THY will be done in earth, as in heaven.
(THY Kingdom come- THY property, royalty, rank, status. GOD’ power as our king, to appear as Supreme Ruler of HIS realm.) (THY will be done in earth- THY desire, pleasure, purpose to arise, to be assembled, to be finished and fulfilled: in this land, country and world, as in the abode of GOD.) (As in heaven-HIS happiness, power and all eternity.)
11) Give us this day our daily bread.
(Give us this day-bring forth, deliver up, minister unto us today.) (Our daily bread-tomorrow’s, our next, our needful substance. Bread as a raised loaf, to bear up, to lift us up, to remove.)
12) And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
(Forgive us our debts-to send forth, forsake, lay aside. Remit our sins, relax them, make them less, surrender, so we will not be punished for them.) (As we forgive- to forsake, lay aside, leave, to suffer. Our debtors – to be bound to, to be indebted to, or morally, one who transgresses against God.)
13) And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
For THINE is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever, Amen.
( Lead us not into-GOD forbid that we be carried or lead into.) (Temptation-to be put to proof , by experiment of good and evil.)
(But deliver us from evil-rescue us from evil influence, degenerate behavior, moral malice and all lewdness.)
(For THINE is the kingdom-for THINE own home is a place of royalty where you rule and reign.) ( And the power-miraculous power, ability and abundance of mighty wonderful works.) (And the glory-LORD, all dignity, praise and worship belongs to you! Amen)

A CLEAN HEART AND SOUL

How do we know our heart and soul are clean before God?
Ephesians 5:24-26:
“Therefore as the church is subject unto “CHRIST,” (Church-A calling out from the world; a religious community; members on earth or saints in heaven. Subject unto-to be under obedience to, and submit ones self unto the CHRIST. CHRIST -The Anointed Son of God, the promised Messiah of the Old Testament) “so let wives be to their own husbands in everything.”
(We, the church as a whole, are ‘the spiritual wife’ of CHRIST; as such, we are subject unto our own husband-who is, the ‘LORD GOD’ Himself. “In everything,“-thoroughly, wholly, completely.) CHRIST is concerned about every facet of our lives. If it is important to us, then it is important to Him.
We are looking at this spiritually, however there is an earthly meaning also, for married couples.
“Husbands, love your wives, even as CHRIST loved the church and gave Himself for it.”( CHRIST- surrendered, willingly sacrificed, His Royal Blood, on the cross of Calvary, as our perfect Atonement. HE, as GOD’S High Priest, had ‘no sin’ in Himself.)
“That HE might sanctify it (the church) and cleanse it, with the washing of water, by the word.” (Making His church, Holy, purified and consecrated-setting us apart, dedicating us to the worship of God the Father. To mentally venerate-to regard CHRIST with respect and reverence in our thoughts, and deeds.)
(Cleanse with washing of water- to purge or purify with baptism or total immersion, into all CHRIST’S spoken and written Word.) His Word make us clean.
Psalms 119:11 “Thy Word have I hid in mine heart, That I might not sin against Thee. (Your Word, commandments,’ have I reserved, protected, esteemed, absorbed into my heart: my feelings, my will, my intellect, the center of my being) that I might not sin against Thee. (To repent, to take the blame, to be purged and purified by GOD, through CHRIST’S , commands and written Word to us)
Ephesians 5:26: (Speaking to us, His church.) That HE might sanctify it, and cleanse it, by the washing of water by the word. (To be sanctified and purified by being totally immersed in His Truth.
It feels so-good to be clean! LORD, we are so grateful to Thee!
May our LORD richly bless each of you,
Robyn

John 14:1-4
Christ’s words to His disciples following the last supper. Also, Jesus telling Judas, to go and do quickly, what he was going to do. Judas left the LORD and his brethren at the supper, going straight to the wicked religious leaders. They hated JESUS words of truth so much,that they were at that moment, planning how to convict HIM so they could put HIM to death, ridding themselves of this Holt Man , who claimed to , the SON of GOD. By this act of treason not only would Judas be responsible, but the Jewish religious high arch of that day. Scarring the works of mortal man in the eyes of GOD and all mankind for eternity. Putting their complete approval on putting to death GOD’S holy fulfilment of prophecy, the coming MESSIAH, and LORD of all the ages.
HIS disciples who loved HIM so much, who had spend the last three and one-half years with HIM, were getting ready to stand alone. They did not understand what was getting ready to take place.

Scripture:
Let not your heart be troubled,(Trouble yourselves not, in your thoughts or your feelings) you believe in GOD, believe also in me.
(You put your faith in, commit and entrust yourself to the Exceeding High GOD. Have faith, especially with your spiritual well being in me the CHRIST, GOD’S MESSIAH, GOD’S SAVIOR)
In my Father’s house are many mansions, if it were not so, I would tell you. I go to prepare a place for you.
(In my “own” FATHER’S home or residence, their are abundant, great and plenteous places of abode, or residences, and yes, it even says “mansions”. If it was not true, I-CHRIST would have told you. I travel, I depart, I take a journey to go and prepare, and make ready, a spot, a location, a specific place, for each of you)
If I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself. That where I AM, ye may be also.
(Provided that I depart, and take this journey, to prepare, and make ready for you, a spot, a position, a location, or a home. I will appear, I will grow, I will Light for you again, (HE is the LIGHT of the world) once more, HE returns to us. That where HE is, with FATHER, there we may dwell, should stand, also.)
May you be deeply blessed by HIS promise today, Robyn

Well, looks like we are back on track for our meeting. Diane has reserved the group camp building in Chem-A-Haut state park near Bastrop, Louisiana. The weather derailed us in January but we are believing this will materialize as planned. We will be gathering together on a Friday afternoon at 2:00 on the 5th. The camp is reserved until Sunday the 7th. at noon.
Directions are, if proceeding from the South: from Monroe, La. take US 165 or 139 North to Bastrop; take US 425 North to Louisiana 2229 (State Park Road; turn right off of US 425; drive 1 mile to entrance). If coming from the North: go South out of Hamburg, Arkansas; take US 425 to Louisiana 2229 (State Park Road; turn left, drive 1 mile to entrance).

Greetings Soldiers of the Cross,
Has been awhile since our last post; so very much is happening, again, if you open yourself up for the Lord’s work there is plenty to do. One thing I have learned is to not worry about worldly things of survival for we serve a Mighty God and He is more than able to provide all we have need of. The world keeps us focused on so many things which cause us worry and that leads to discomfort and eventually fear. Why take thought for tomorrow, when He is our eternal provider. That was a hard hurdle to get over for me, too. Some of these acts of faith are akin to walking on water.
We are planning on a Bible study on January 8-10 in Northeast Louisiana. We will be at Chemin-A-Haut State park. Diane e-mailed me the following information as to the event:
The Group Camp Building in Chemin-A-Haut State Park near Bastrop, Louisiana is reserved for our group Bible Study from Friday, January 8 – Sunday, January10, 2010. The Group Camp will sleep 60 with separate bunk rooms and showers for men & women. The Camp also contains kitchen with conference room. The Group Camp is reserved in Diane Watt’s name; check in time is around 3:00 PM on Friday , Jan. 8 and check out is around 12:00 PM on Sunday, Jan. 10. You will want to bring your sleeping bag or bedding, towels & toiletries, and food for the pot-luck meals which can be heated or cooked in the kitchen. The Camp is heated as it could be cold in January. The conference room contains wood tables and chairs; may want to bring a cushion or lawn chair for added comfort.

Directions: Chemin-A-Haut State Park is located about 10 miles north of Bastrop, LA. From Monroe, LA take U.S. 165 or 139 north to Bastrop, LA, take U.S. 425 north to LA 2229 (State Park Road, right turn off 425 drive 1 mile to entrance). Coming South from Hamburg, AR, take U.S. 425 to LA 2229 (State Park Road, left turn, drive 1 mile). This 503 acre Park site takes its name from the French word meaning “High Road” which was the route used by Native American Indians many years ago in their seasonal migrations. This will be a blessed Bible Fellowship for all and a wonderful way to begin a new year in service to our Father.
I know that January seems like an odd time to be traveling to such a meeting but this is the time we have been given. We have met here before and it was a great time. So, if you are interested in attending please let us know in advance so we can get a general idea of how many will be attending.
We are looking forward to being with you again. Until then, we serve a victorious Lord and King. Buzz and Robyn

This is a copy of the letter I sent out to they who are on my email address, buzroberts@hotmail.com. Therein I invited them to visit this site and possibly be a part of it. Father knows…
Salute!
We have added a new feature to our web site, a Blog. If you haven’t visited the site I would appreciate it if you would check it out. Have been trying to bring about something with a different perspective on discipleship. There has been a legalism placed on how to walk and serve and I have endeavoured to make such an honour, as being identified with Messias, a joy and a work in His Kingdom, now, today, not something unattainable but in the distance. There has to be more to this Christianity than what we are given by the ordained teachers we have. We can see how the powers that be have influenced the political, the enonomic, the educational, and the religious realms all alike, with fear and confusion. We see an overlay of today with that which occurred 2,000 years ago in Jerusalem: political, economic, educational, religious systems having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof.
It has fallen to us to search our hearts and find Truth anew. It is easy to sit back and complain or just turn our backs on all that is going down, and, yes, there is reason to go in that direction if all the hope we have is in this world. But Jesus has delivered unto us the principles if the Kingdom which is eternal. We have spent most of our lives skirting around these truths without a true dedication to examine them within our own hearts. And, to those who have sought them to some degree they have been thwarted by the powers that be, physically and spiritually.
Anyway, if you feel led to come and be part of this seeking out please feel free to visit us as buzz-roberts>com.
There is much to behold of His glory… let us not be deceive but press on to the high calling, not religiously but with all our hearts, minds, bodies, and souls. Those of us who have some age behind us realize that the time is short, let us be busy about His work.
Thanks for allowing me to share this with you and hopefully more later. Buzz

Seems like every time I sit down to write a post I end up with a four to five page letter. I don’t know how well that would go over so I have decided to write a quick note and get it posted. mm So very much has transpired since I last wrote on the site that I find it hard to limit myself to a few words… Anyway, I am still here, still searching the scriptures, still interceding for you and those Father lays on my heart.
I do want to thank all of you who have prayed for me regarding my kidney problem. It has been almost two years since I had my first of nine surgical procedures in my left kidney to remove tumors. In June I had a nuclear medicine test and they stated that the test showed that I now have normal kidney function. I still have to go back for cystos, a procedure which looks for any abnormal growths in the kidney and bladder. That part I will have to endure the rest of my life. There were a couple of times during the surgeries in which I questioned if I would make it through them. Again, I want to thank you for your prayers and faith.
We are working to try to improve this site. If you have any suggestions please present them to us so we can explore them.
I want you to please continue holding Abby DeForest up in your prayers. She has had another extremely difficult surgery ijn her hip area and will be in a body cast for six weeks. For a two year old child this is very taxing on her system; having the physical problems she has adds much to her plate, as well as her mother and dad Christy and Buck.
There are others which are going through physical trials in their body and need prayer as well. A dear young lady named Rebbecca Brewer is having to endure radiation anf chemo for some lymphatic condition.
We are all dealing with some kind of issue in our lives. This is why I feel we much hold each other up daily and trust the power of Truth through Father’s Holy Spirit to set us free from fears and deliver us into the kingdom of Christ which is being established this very moment in this earth. It is not something which will suddenly come it has been delivered unto man since the resurrection and and we have been pressing into it. The principles of the Kingdom of Christ are here and He is guiding us in them through His Holy Spirit which He gifted us with upon accepting Him as our Lord and Saviour.
Will share more on this later… YHVH bless, Buzz

February 15, 2009

Since going to the  Ransomed Heart Boot Camp in Colorado last October I have found myself walking in a more sure relationship with Jesus.  I have taken my TV and turned it off to the outside world.  I have felt for some time a deep conviction as to the amount of time I was spending in front of it watching and listening to senseless, worldly shows and how little time I have spent in the LORD’s presence seeking Him.  Also I have found myself “journaling” as often as I can, writing down my thoughts, shortcomings, hopes, strengths, weaknesses, basically carrying on a dialogue with the LORD.

When Christy and Buck had little Abigail, and she was birthed with her physical maladies, it stirred within me a hunger  to do a tremendous amount of heart and soul searching as to how I could intercede for this child of GOD.  Robyn and I have met others who are challenged, some with their children, and have been asked to pray for and seek Father’s will for them.  Again, I was finding myself falling short as to this real need.

I have searched and searched and, through this, have discovered I did not have the vision and hunger for this level of need.  So, I have had to see what I was holding in my heart as more dear that the needs of Father’s people.  It is for this cause I believe the LORD: came, suffered, died, resurrected, ascended; He came and called sons to do His work. I have made “agreements” which shortchanged this calling and placed a greater emphasis on myself than on the LORD.   I have found that I was sick and tired of having a “select” relationship with the LORD.  I have settled into a place where I serve Christ in a capacity which still allows me a lot of “personal” room for myself.  Who am I kidding?  Jesus knows my heart better than I know myself.  I might be able to fool some people but deep down I know what is going on… I truly need a Living Walk!

When I went to Colorado last October we were instructed for the four days we were there to turn off our cell phones and disconnect from our laptops as well as  all outside contact with the world.  We were to spend four days seeking the LORD, sitting in His presence with an open heart, repenting for any and all openesse’s we had with the enemy(s) of Christ.  (It was at this particular time the stock market was going into its tailspin).  I have been one who has had to be aware of every thing this world was doing, even though I consider myself quite aware that the news media is totally corrupted by they who hate everything and everyone that has anything to do with the name “Jesus”.  I have allowed these liars and deceivers to control my understanding of earthly matters more than I wanted to believe.  This has a lot to do with what I believe in my Christian knowledge, also.  How much of what I have accepted to be Christian doctrine is nothing more that a delusion, shaped by they who are of the antichrist spirit (they who have not accepted Jesus as Messiah; 1 John 2:22)?  Am I sharing with others that which I am sure of or is it only man’s teaching which I have accepted without proving what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God?

So, I have been on a reawakened quest…

As a small Bible study I have been under conviction as to what I am to do as a student and disciple of Jesus.  I have questioned why I have been doing what I have been doing as relating to the studies, etc.  Am I doing it for something to do so, as to prove I am a Christian; am I doing it for some vindictive reason; am I doing it because I really care for you and the Lord’s work going forth; has Father called me unto this?

Over the years I have spent many, many hours studying and seeking Father as to His Word and direction for my life as well as for His people.  Yet, I find there needs to be more to this Walk I have ventured unto.  I hunger to see each of us having a personal relationship with CHRIST where there is no shadow of doubt as to who He is and what we are in Him: that we know Him even as we are known by Him.

The time is upon us to soon arise and do exploits in Jesus’ name.  Let us be as the wise virgins and have plenty of oil in our lamps.  The opportunity has been set before us to do all the works of CHRIST and even greater, as He foretold.  Let us each consider: Where am I in the scheme of this matter?  Have I listened to lies, been afraid, hid my talents because I am lazy and scared of that which will come upon the earth?  Are religious doctrines and isms separating us from the work set before us?  Is the love of the world and the desires of this life filling our time with frivilous wants and needs?  How much have we allowed the financial system of this world to bind our hands in servitude to their powers?

Our Christian principles are being challenged.  Our faith is questioned… how will we respond?
