He is Coming, Be Ready!

"Now concerning that day or hour, no one knows- neither the Angels in heaven nor the Son- except the Father. Watch! Be alert! For you don't know when the time is coming. It is like a man on a journey, who left his house, gave authority to his slaves, gave each one his work, and commended the doorkeeper to be alert. Therefore, be alert, since you don't know when the master of the house is coming-whether in the evening or midnight or at the crowing of the rooster or early morning. Otherwise, he might come suddenly and find you sleeping. And what I say to you, I say to everyone: Be Alert!" Mark 13:32-37

What stands out to me is: Be Alert! What does this mean? Jesus Himself tells us: not sleeping. Asking Christ into our hearts is one thing but living for Him and walking in our destiny is another. We are here to change our part of the world by the salt and light living within us. The salt, much like the manna, when kept for ourselves and longer than we should, rots and is worthless. Are you rotting on the inside because all your salt is still inside and putrifying because you failed to give it out? Is you outer shell breaking apart because th slight in you is bursting its bonds, the bonds it was never meant to have?

The salvation experience is good news and is meant to be shared. When we share good news, we bring change to our world, we release the light of Christ into the lives of others.

Dullness of heart and mind in the Christian is sad, so sad. The enemy of their soul has trapped them with what they read and watch, making them believe that the world of the flesh is all there is. Gradually they lose hope for the miraculous and stop looking for Christ in their every day. He is new every morning and ready to be found by those who seek Him. Amen!

Repent! Turn again to the hope you once received! Ignite the flame and shine! Amen!

Who Rules?

The princes of Judah are like those who move boundary markers, I will pout out my fury on them like water. Hosea 5:10 World leaders of church and state are now all highly visible. When they are not open to consultation or do not listen they make judgements that are judged as foolish by both God and man. In Australia we just celebrated Australia Day and at this time various people are honoured for their contribution to society. Our Prime Minister, Mr Abbott, without consultation, conferred a knighthood on the Queen of England's husband, Phillip. Almost to a person, Australians judged this to be foolish. Even supporters have now distanced themselves. Imagine what it is like when church leaders follow their own emotions or the emotions of their people and change what is acceptable to God. For example, no longer considering adultery something that precludes a man from ministry. We might think we are clever, but actually going with a sinful flow. Where is God in all this? My emotions ar...

Know Your Sword!

So he took Him to Jerusalem, had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, "if you are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here. For it is written: 'He will give His angels orders concerning You, to protect you, they will support You with their hands, so that you will not strike Your foot against a stone.' And Jesus answered him, "it is said: 'do not test The Lord your God." And the Devil had finished every temptation, he departed from Him for a time. Luke 4:9-11 In this third test Satan quoted scripture but Jesus knew His scripture and was not going to be deceived by his enemy twisting the truth. I am amazed at what Satan tempted Jesus with. He did not know Christ. He had succeeded in tempting the first Adam yet he was thwarted in this attempt. Jesus had lived 30 years and been tutored in godliness with contentment, he was prepared, baptised in the Spirit and sold out to the Father's purpose. Every time our enemy comes against us we ...

Little Things Grow

The boy's mother said to Elisha, "as The Lord lives and you yourself live, I will not leave you. So he got up and followed her. 2 Kings 4:30 The Shunamite woman had travelled to Mt Carmel to find Elisha after the death of her son. Although Elisha had sent his servant Gehazi to the boy with his staff the woman had come to find Elisha and was not leaving without him. I like this lady's spirit. I am sure The Lord God Almighty also valued her heart. She had a heart for God and made room for Him in her world. Now, having lost her son she knew what to do: find Elisha and not let him go until he came to restore her son. What made the Shunamite woman believe that Elisha could raise her son? Was it the same faith that made her provide him a place to stay in her home? I believe it was God working in her life. I am grateful for her faith, I can read and be encouraged. We do not know her name yet her story lives in scripture. What a little thing it was to feed Elisha and then provide ...
