The day with dianne Louise

Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen. Ephesians 3:20‭-‬21 NLT All glory goes to the victor, the winner, the mighty. Our Lord is all of these. Praise Him! I am blessed by Him choosing me, being with me, blessing me with His presence. How good is God! While we were sinners and in a mess, He chose us, knowing we would be just what He wanted. Amen! How good it is to be chosen and to also have His power at work in us to will and to do His good pleasure. Amen!

Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen. Ephesians 3:20‭-‬21 NLT We limit ourselves and others,  in fact we limit God. He is able to do for more than we ask or think. Can we dare to ask God to do more? What does God have in His heart for us? He sees far beyond what we can. He sees possibilities that we can only hope or imagine. Dare we join with Him in His vision? I am a dare devil. Not a good saying, why not an adventurous soul? I have dared to do things others my age would not even bother dreaming about. However, I have limiters, usually my physical body. My mindset about my capabilities can sometimes limit me. Our God wants to work through us with His healing power. He is mighty to save! Amen!

That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. 2 Corinthians 4:16 NLT Forever and ever our spirits will be renewed daily. Praise God! No need for batteries, power sockets, turbines.  Thr Holy Spirit resides within us, and is a constant source of energy. I may feel physically unwell, tired, run down, but He never does. We need to lock into Him! I am into astronomy, and astro-scientists tell us that our stars, as in suns, have been around millions of years. Our sun is predicted to continue for a millennia yet. However, there is a God factor.  All things will end when He says so, not when we say so. He also promises a new heaven and a new earth. That sounds pretty amazing. Bring it on Lord! Amen!

That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. 2 Corinthians 4:16 NLT I saw in the news that the family of Archie Bsttersbee, in England, have won a delay in the death of their son. The UN has become involved. Archie has been on life support for some time. The hospital wants to turn off the support, but the family say Archie is responding.This is a most unheard of turn of circumstances. Praise God! Archie's parents know his spirit is still in him, and want to allow time for his body to come back to life. It is not until our body fully dies does our spirit depart, however, this is not the end of the story.. Many have had near death experiences where their spirit did leave and go to heaven or hell, only to return. As someone who's body is showing wear and tear I can say my physical house is wearing out. Yet, my spirit is alive because Christ lives in me. His Spirit, the Holy Spirit sanctifies me, and carries me forward to my he...

The Lord is close to all who call on him, yes, to all who call on him in truth. Psalms 145:18 NLT On Tuesday when I did my grocery shop I felt nudged to buy bread mix. I have not bought this is a while, but the thought presented itself: you never know who might appreciate some fresh bread, so I bought it. Yesterday I was asked to house my neice until Monday as her family will be away. I know she likes bread. It is cooking now. Today when her Nana (who is her guardian) came to say goodbuye she gave me $50, unexpectedly. As I have finally come to rest with my finance the Lord provides in surprising ways. I am grateful. I know the reason I need it will present itself soon enough. My God is answering my prayers for connection,  finance and more. I am blessed. He is close. Amen!

The Lord is close to all who call on him, yes, to all who call on him in truth. Psalms 145:18 NLT I once saw a movie in which a woman got on her knees and prayed for help with her marriage. She asked that she would find God. When she did not experience anything she got up and said, "I thought not!" Her prayer looked sincere but the results were not sincere. When I came to Christ I was seeking. However, God led me through a process whereby I became desperate, when I was ready He revealed Himself. He convicted me of my sins, and led me to a Christian friend who was able to share the gospel with me. God looks deep within. Our behaviour may fool some of the people all the time,  but the Lord none of the time. God is not conned by deception. Remember, He is God. Amen!

Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Philippians 2:3 NLT We say things to impress. I just watched a maiden speech by an indigenous aboriginal woman from Alice Springs (it is where Ayres Rock is). This woman is against all virtue signalling by the current Labour Government. Her speech was courageous. I pray she is not affected by the desire to impress but rather impresses by her clear focus. We can perform, usually to entertain. Here we do receive accolades, or rotten eggs. However, if we try to impress, and fail we become miserable. Robin Williams was a famous  funny man, however, all the accolades did not make him whole.  His lostness drove him to suicide. Our lostness means we need a saviour. That saviour can only be divine, because only a divine saviour is unaffected by the flesh. Our saviour is Jesus. He paid the way for us to be set free and whole. Amen
