ALL Humans Are Important to God!

SF, Stagecoach, NV

Dear Brothers, Sisters, Prodigals and Unsaved,

    Welcome to all who read the blog.  For the last seven years, Abba [God] has had me doing these blogs, not for my benefit, but for His.

    If you are a brother or sister, you know the joy and trials I've had in my life, because you've probably had the same.  They might not be identical - but it's the growth we've had through them.

    For instance, since I've been in NV - it's been a joy and uplifting the group of friends that surround me.  Who after 14 years, still come to the weekly Bible Study He has me teach.  Even though I am the baby of the group - haha.

    For a little over a year, I knew I was sick, they prayed for me and I refused to go to a doctor.  I just asked Abba in Jesus' Name to heal me or take me home to Heaven.  Abba didn't do either, but He did watch over me and what could have been a problem, is a widow living by myself - having a stoke at home alone, He knew when it would happen and had some friends over, so I wasn't by myself - they called the paramedics and got me to the hospital.  My right carotid artery was blocked, so not enough blood going to my head, no they know I'm not just a ditsy blonde.

    Only in hospital for 3 days, with hardly any side affects as many people have in a stroke - I was blessed.  When I got home, I praised Abba and laughed at the twerp [satan] because Abba wasn't thru with me yet. Now, the worst I have is a left leg that gets tired, that drags a little, but I still do most of the things I need to take care of [house, 84 year old Uncle, drive and shop for my needs].   I rejoice I still have a mind, Bible Study and the blog! Truly, when Abba has more for you to do, and you're willing to do it - YOU CAN.

[Romans 8:28-29 NKJV] 28a And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God,[28b] to those who are the called according to [His] purpose. 29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined [to be] conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.

    I've heard many people speak verse 28a and leave off 28b yet remember we've talked about conditions with every promise in the Word?  Well, 28a is the promise but 28b is the condition and verse 29 is the purpose/reason for giving you that promise.

    Yes, it is His desire that ALL things work together for your good when you Love Abba.  But many are called, but few follow, because they do not want to go against the World.  Oh how Abba loves you, as much as He Loves His Son Jesus.

    [Luke 10:19-21 NKJV] 19 "Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 20 "Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven." 21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said, "I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from [the] wise and prudent and revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight."

    Jesus showed us the power of the Holy Spirit, Abba gave Him and Jesus earned the right, by giving His life for you, me and the world to share His inheritance with us - For God So LOVED THE WORLD.

    OK, let's take just this Scripture and see what we have authority to do.

1.     Jesus gave us, when He set us FREE from BONDAGE -

2.     We can step on serpents or scorpions and not die, just like Paul was bitten by a snake and lived, shocking the people on the Island-Acts 28:3-4 [see below] and that snake bite couldn't hurt Paul, because he was predestined [Romans 8:28] to go to Rome and preach the Gospel.

3.     Don't rejoice over your authority, but rejoice in Jesus, who gave you the authority and you're going to Heaven when you've finished what you've been called for.

4.     Be happy you don't have ALL the answers yet.  Once we learn our answers, we become accountable to do them.

    Luke 10:19-21 is just one of many scriptures that tell you what AUTHORITY Jesus gave you and I.  When was the last time you tried any of them?  If you are in financial trouble there is only one way out - Tithe 10% of your 1st fruit, meaning as soon as you get paid, put aside the 10% to give Him at church.  The tithe, will protect your 90% from the twerp stealing from you, or with things breaking down.  If you need a little more money, there's only one way - give an OFFERING a dollar extra will get you possibly an additional $29+1=30%,  $59+1=60% or 99+1=100% return.   Re-read Malachi 8-18 about tithing and New Testament Matthew 13:7-8 for the offering abundance.  Giving an Offering investment, gaining 30-60-100 fold works for me.

    Look these Scripture up yourself and listen to what the Holy Spirit tells you - that's when He talks to me the most, in His Word.  This will only work, if you've accepted Jesus.  All who have, get the Holy Spirit immediately.

    [Mark 16:17-18 NKJV] 17 "And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 "they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."

    [James 4:7 NKJV] "Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you."

    [Matthew 16:19 NKJV] "And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." 

    [2 Corinthians 10:3-5 NKJV] 3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare [are] not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, 

    [John 14:12 NKJV] "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater [works] than these he will do, because I go to My Father." 

    [Acts 28:3-4 NKJV] 3 But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid [them] on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat, and fastened on his hand. 4 So when the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, "No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped the sea, yet justice does not allow to live."

    Just because something bad happens to you, DOES NOT MEAN GOD IS OUT TO GET YOU.  You've got your wires crossed.  Everything Jesus did, He did because Abba told Him to do or say.  We do not have a evil Father.  We have an Evil enemy with lots of followers seeking whom they may devour [you and me].

    [1 Peter 5:8 NKJV] "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour."  Reality check, he can only roar like a lion, he's nothing but a little rat = twerp to me.

    All Abba wants is to have His Creation back with Him, that's why He sent Jesus, so we could make the choice for our selves - Have you made yours?  Jesus just wants to fellowship with you.

Finally one of my prayers I speak nightly [paraphrased of course]:

    Father, in Jesus' Name I come before you asking that the hearts of those reading the blogs will open and hear Your Holy Spirit speak to them.  To realize the Love You have for each of us.  After all, how many Fathers would count each hair on our head?

    [Luke 12:6-7 NKJV] 6 "Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? And not one of them is forgotten before God. 7 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows."

Blessings, - See you Thursday.
