Philippians 3:13-14...Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

James 4:8 Come close to Go.d and Go.d will come close to you.
The first book in the bible is the book of Genesis. When Adam the first created man, partook of the forbidden tree, and he went into hiding. He was afraid. Go.ds spirit walked with man, and he called Adam and said where are you, Adam said I was afraid and hid, because of what he did. A current in the deep waters of the Ocean, is a dark area of water, that can or not be seen, either above or under. There are many things that pull us away from Go.ds presense either in prayer, worship reading, etc. The dark place that pulls us farther and further away from his presence. Caught in fear, guilt, condenmation, hoplessnes, depression, what ever it is, that is a place of darkness in the spirit. It draws us further away, like a current. Turbulent, troubled dark dangerous waters, that no one could survive in it for long. There is a life savor, that isn't mentioned along with the other famous people's quotes, ann frank, the presidents, Martin l. KIng, buddah, all people's quotes, but there is no where in the school or books about the quotes of Yeshua. Jesus. Not taught as a quote of "love your neighbor as yourself." Nothing, why. Is it hatred.


But James 4:8 is saying. New LIving Bible, Come close to god and God will come close to you. The N L bible is said to be the closest translation from the original. Come close, yet the current were in keeps pulling us farther and farther away from him. It is a deep dark place of despair, and panic, away from his peace. What ever it is, there is nothing to terrible that the LOrd's hand isn't shortend that it will not pull us out of that current, to help us to deliverance. There's a beautiful picture of a man sinking and the hand of Jesus the Lord reaching for him. Your peace could be shattered in a moment and the overwhelming forces of those dark water over take you. Drifting away further. Pray call upon him. Psalm 91 Call upon the name of the Lord and he will deliver you. " The waters have gone over my head." bible . When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Lord will put up a standard. " Pray.

Yes beautiful pictures of the scriptures Magenta.

Bond ages are strongholds. Ever saw a man pull a huge tree 4 five 5 feet wide, with roots miles around with his hands only Thats how Roots of bitterness, prejudice etc. Just keep on going, Like chains. God's hand can do what mans hands do not have the power to do. He can break all the bondage's, loneliness fears, guilt, etc. etc. etc.

Pressing through. Fear is the number obstacle of pressing through the storm in your heart. What if Moses never comes down from the mountain, they griped in the wilderness. Lets make ourselves a golden calf, to worship. Lot's wife turned back when she was told not to, look back at sodom and gomorrah burning with fire, only something was there in her heart. Lot again was told to move when he was attacked by the indescret people of mind, yet he moved to another place, and eventually went the way of the Lords commands. Samson, was asked by his mother, "are there not enough women here in Israel that he went into another religion. Story after story. Why is there so much evil going on. It was even in the beginning of creation, in the garden, Cain was jealous of Abel and hit him with a rock on his head that killed him. Perfect love in God casts out all fear. Love is not jealous. A very good way to press through the dark desert. Pray till the light of God's love breaks through. The hebrews going through the desert from Egypt didn't have a lot on their minds. NO banks no jobs, no paying bills. A place you would think of emptying ones self, and getting to know the LOrd God in a intimate way. One on one. Yet G.od made them wander around the same mountain for 40 years till most of them died off, or were destroyed and never made it to Israel. Moses was told to speak to the rock, he didn't obey, and hit the rock, to make water from it for the people to drink. He also never made it through to that promised land Israel. Abraham was from Iraq. He was not hebrew, but he was the first one to believe the Yahweh. People are just people. That paper that says your something more might just be the paper that sets your world on fire, and burns everything. Let the Love of our G.od burn all the chaff and impurities out of your mind and heart. Less of me, more of him.

A mirror could be your best friend. It shows you the prisoner when you look at it. Chained to bitterness, discrimination of race, religion, many links that weigh you down. YOur your worst enemy.

Numbers 22 and 23. Whom God has blessed no man can curse. This applies to the Old and the New Testament. Proverbs 9:8 Rebuke a fool and he will hate you. Rebuke the wiseman and he will love you.
Galatians 6:7 God is not mocked. For what so ever a man soweth, that also he shall reap.


Here's some spiritual food for the spirit. Unless we partake of the Word of God, we become weakened by lifes challenges, storms, and craftiness of deceits. A wise person welcomes critisism, in a constructive way to learn. The pride ful knows it all and will snub you to hate because you insulted his intelligence. PRIde cometh before a fall.

The story in Numbers 22 and chapter 23 goes about jealousy hate pride and the sword in the mouth from the tongue and the sword in the hand. He wanted Israel to be cursed, and his answer was, whom God has blessed no man can curse. This goes for the New testament believers. Engrafted adopted by him, and circumcised in the tough foreskin of the heart, to be sensitive to him.

God is not mocked, a fool will say a lot of nonsence but a day is coming that he will know the error of his way. We can mock God by saying we are so and so and keep the traditions, but lives that don't show it is mocking God. Words saying half of believing in a Creator but not respecting his word is mocking God. CAlling him a liar that the blood was shed upon the altar for our forgivness of sins, not every year as King Melchesideck stood for Israels sins, but once and for all, and when he was crucified, and that curtain in the Temple was ripped into two, representing, that now it is open not only for King Melchesideck, but for us to enter and plead for mercy at the altar. NOt believing in something God did, and ordained phrophets and disciples who shed their blood for the gospels, is one thing, but to mock God and verbally deny his Authority and POwer will be held accoutable. For what is sowing and reaping, your deeds, your words. It's a terrible thing to fall into an angry God, and he is angry with a sinner everyday. Life and Death are in the power of words, and you shall eat there of them. Don't mock God if you don't believe his ways, his truths his teachings and his calling of the Phrophets and Disciples of the Old and New. It is better not to speak against the Creator and the one, who is called, " I am that I am." HIs word does not come back void to him. What he says is and will be fullfilled, for he is not a man that he should lie. " bv. The sins of the parents are handed down to their children. Exodus 34:7 Maintaining love to a thousand gnerations. I forgive iniquity but I do not excuse the guilt. I lay the sins of the parents upon their children and grandchildren the entire family is affected for generations. There are 73 passages in the Old and New about the sins of the fathers being passed down.

Heres a very beautiful memory that never leaves me. Years ago in this town walking, and at the corner, as we were waiting for the light to change, and young son and his dad were walking and the boy had a book holding it close to his heart. He asked his father something he learned in Catechism class, the child spoke in an angelic tone, so reverenced to his learning that day, as he questioned his Father about it. HIs father replied with the correct answer, and that I don't remember, but that fire of love from a pure heart, illuminated even the lightest day. God is not someone who looks at titles and places, for his word says, he does not dwell with temples made with hands. Never mock a denonmintion, for in your hour of need, there will be someone there who you need, reaching out to you, when no one else would, not even your brother, father or family. Learn to love others.

Those who luv to study the bible, you could look up those verses. We come to the father through the Messiah, Yeshua, he dosn't look at our sins, he looks at the sacrificed blood as a lamb sacrificed for attonment of the sins.

Leviticus 26. 41: If there uncircumcised hearts are humbled and they accept their guilt,,,, God looks at the heart of man. Man looks on the outside. bv. So what is this? You thought G.od just would look at the circumsidion of the flesh, he calls them, uncircumsided fools in many places, calloused and indifferent to his love, his ways, and not knowing him, in a personal way. YOu know this is the Torah. The New Testament talks about circumcise your hearts. The blood runs through the entire world, there is not gate that stops it. John 3:16 For the creator Adoni, God, so LOVed this world that he gave his Son, that who so ever believeth on him shall be saved.
