I Lost Not One***

On my personal journey with Jesus, I count on the wisdom I gain from the Holy Spirit. He is my cherished counselor, friend and guide on this crazy ever changing earthly journey as we are Heaven Bound.

With the sudden death of one of my Beloved children, I have been wondering why I had no clue of this impending separation.  In my personal relationship with Him,  I have been allowed to know beforehand and process other losses so close to my heart. I don't ask "why" but I do ask what I missed that might have prepared me for this devastating arrow to my heart?  

I live my life knowing this world is not our home, and that we are just passing through. I have taught all my kids and grand kids that same understanding of eternal life that follows for those of us who believe.

As a praying parent, and now as a grieving one, I have always prayed that when I see my Lord face to face I can say like He did, "I lost not one of those you have entrusted to me". I count it my spiritual  responsibility and privilege to see to their spiritual care and keeping all their days here and on into eternity.

Today the Lord reminded me of a conversation we had in Dec 2018 when I was thinking about how much I cherish all my children and their children. My thoughts were all about our eternal relationship and how vital it is for all my beloveds to translate into the Presence of the Lord when their days here are over and to be reunited together on the other side. I was prompted to offer my thanksgiving that as the mom of 6 kids, I have been spared the heartache of losing any one of them here on earth.  I remember my Lord saying at the time, "If you lost all you have here, will I be enough?"  Of course.  Lord where would I go from here?  You have the words and promise of eternal life.   I believe everything I experience here is preparation for there.

That said, what followed was the beginning of a blog started on that day along the lines of our conversation that morning.  Looking back I realize how my Lord was indeed preparing my heart for what He was about to do in taking my son home.  He brought me back to the blog in answer to my heart question and to reinforce His promise to never leave me nor forsake me.
  

Here is that blog:     

I Lost Not One

"The Holy One calls to me this morning. As a parent, I have always seen it as my responsibility to pray for my kids and now for their kids and extended family. This responsibility has been life-long and while all my kids are grownups I am still burdened to pray them through all that life serves up as challenges to them. In fact, just when I think I can take a sigh of relief something else seems to come undone and a faithful prayer becomes necessary.

I hear all the enemy’s arguments in my mind that “it’s their life, their walk, their Red Sea to cross and your time to let go. While the direct intrusion of my maternal protectiveness is out of date, my prayers for their wisdom, discernment, discretion, or faith never loses its shelf life.

Today the Holy One takes me to the Prayer of Jesus as He was about to leave planet earth. As I pray for my family and friends, the Lords speaks of His ordained will. “I gave these people and relationships to you… never forsake praying for them”.

The voice of the Holy One drives out all the words of the enemy that I should relax and disengage from my prayer privilege and responsibility. The Lord’s parting prayer for His disciples and BTW over all of us who come to believe is written in John 17. His heart desire is for us to be with Him eternally. My heart desires that ALL my beloveds be with Him and me eternally. That desire forms the basis of the burden that drives me to pray.

The words of the Holy One give the sense of ownership that Jesus reflected in His prayer.

“Holy Father, keep through Your Name those whom You have given Me".  As a parent my prayer is the same."

The hole that my son left here in our earth life and journey is huge yet to wish him back here to face all the challenges on this fallen planet and battle all the attacks by the enemy is never a consideration.  My wounded warrior has been air lifted off the battle field and taken home. I celebrate what Jesus died to provide and look froward to seeing my beloved healthy and strong and living the best time of his life.

Grief is an emotion that most likely never ends here.  We miss those we love.  But the knowledge that we will see them again is the reason for our hope and peace in the process.

 Even as I weather the separation and loss of one of my kids here on earth, I must continue to pray for the ones who remain and the next generation of grands and coming great-grand littles who have yet to make that vital decision about their future destiny and eternal life through Jesus, the One and Only Savior of the world. I will continue to pray for each and all of them so that when my journey here is over I can joyfully say, "Lord I lost not one of those You have entrusted to me!"

Temporal Life: A Proving Ground**

The Holy One calls to me this morning.  Events are unfolding rapidly and bringing out things I never thought I would ever live to see in the good old USA.

Biblical prophecies speak of end times persecution and a fading faith but it always seemed too far in the future for me to really worry about.  I never thought I would see this nation fall to such a depth of depravity that our Christian heritage would be not only rejected but mocked and denigrated and despised by so many.

The Holy One speaks an important truth and reminder to me today, “Look to eternity for your hope.  Your temporal life is just a proving ground”.

If prophecy teaches me nothing else, it teaches me that God knows everything about life from beginning to end.  His conversations of late have been more about eternity and I wonder if that is an indicator as to how close we are to the end of life here.

The Great I AM is eternal.  He WAS before the creation of the earth, and the solar system that the earth is a part of.  And He WILL BE after this earth and all it contains is gone.  

God created man in His image and with the intent that humanity would live in relationship with Himself (The Trinity) for eternity (forever).  The intimate relationship that began in a protected garden by Divine intent had to move into a place of testing so that the eternal relationship with the Creator could be determined by a free will decision on the part of the created.

God desires a relationship with His created but does His created desire a relationship with Him? 

The Sovereignty of God is surely mysterious and while we cannot fully grasp the entirety of it, we can trust that God was not surprised by what happened in the Garden of Eden or anything that has transpired since.  The fallen temporal earth is that proving ground where all humanity is given a choice and is then tested for the choice we have made.

James 1:2, “Brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.  But let patience have its perfect work that you may be perfect and complete lacking nothing.”

By age 18 all of us should be well acquainted with the process of education.  We have a course, we are provided lessons and then comes a test to see what we have learned. Failing the test requires another pass through the course or having the help of a tutor for the part we have failed to learn.   Our faith life with our Creator is no different.  

I relate to this part of my faith journey as “going around the mountain one more time”.  This is a personal application to what the children of Israel went through in the wilderness back when they made countless trips around Mount Sinai due to the hardness of their hearts and in rebellion of Holiness. 

As a child on earth our parent’s job was to prepare us for life in this world. As a child of eternity our Heavenly Father is preparing us for life out of this world and the lessons are clearly different.  All the whys and wherefores go unanswered as a child until we mature enough to see how it all relates to the adult world that we will enter at a certain point in time.

Even Jesus was put to the test in the wilderness. When I look at the life of our Savior I can see my trials here for what they are.

Satan is the enemy of our Kingdom and our King.  He is on the loose to test our loyalty.  When Jesus encountered him in the wilderness, Satan used pleasure and perks to temp Jesus to betray His mission and separate Him from the Father He was sent to glorify.

At the end of Jesus’s life, Satan used the pain of crucifixion and heartbreak to sever that relationship of the Father-Son.  Perks and persecution are both tools in the enemy’s arsenal to test our loyalty to God.  Jesus was moved by neither the rocks nor the bouquets thrown at Him.  He never wavered in His mission or His loyalty to the One who sent Him.

The fallen earth is a proving ground where our faith and loyalty to our Lord Jesus is on the line. Once we choose to follow Him all the way through the cross into eternity, that decision will be put to the test. 

When we meet the One who died for us face to face, will we look back and laugh at the enemy who tried and failed to divide us?  Or will we look back ashamed that we failed to stand firm in the testing of our faith? 

The Spirit is calling.  Can you hear Him?

Prayer and Prophecy*

The Holy One calls to me this morning.  Tragedy seems to be our daily fare.  Reports of the natural disasters have been eclipsed by the heinous act of an evil mind and the victims are many.  People from all around the world are praying, each of us touched in our heart of hearts, grieving and crying out to our unseen Comforter.
  

The Holy Spirit speaks from the darkness of the early morning watch, and offers His light:

“Your prayers must be more than just an exercise of your human good-will”.

Before I can put my mind to defend against the shock of His statement, He takes me back in His Word to a day in the life of my Lord Jesus.  John 11 is the account of His response to the death of His friend, Lazarus   Most of us know the story and the miracle of the Lord’s power over death, but the Holy One has a lesson for me on the subject of prayer, intimate prayer.

John 11:43-45 NKJV “Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying.  And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard Me.  And I know that You always hear Me, but because of the people who are standing by, I said this that they may know that You sent Me. Now when He had said these things He cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth”

Prayer is our way of connecting with God who is, at the moment, unseen.  It can and should be intimate and personal and filled with the evidence that the connection is real and represents a two-way conversation.

As we make that connection, we have a wonderful opportunity to come to “know” God and to understand (in part) not only His will as in the written Word of God but through wisdom provided by the Holy Spirit within, begin to grasp an understanding of His ways.

In the arena of true Prophecy, the Lord shares with us what He is about to do as He did when He visited Abraham on His way to check out what was going on in Sodom and Gomorrah. (Genesis 18:17-33).  True Prophesy comes directly from the mouth of the Lord to the mind of the human recipient. 

    

I would say that Prophecy or a prophetic “word” does not come “out of the blue”, but rather out of a conversation that the human is having with the Creator, Who is the Sovereign God of all things created.  This is the true relationship that God desires with us and the relationship we can have through the indwelling Holy Spirit.  Prophecy is really just knowing what the Lord is about (or willing) to do and proclaiming it as done.   We must beware, however, of speaking in an uninformed way FOR God rather than in a knowledgeable ABOUT Him. 

 

As I process our conversation and make application to my personal prayer life, I need to see how and in what ways prayer, on my end, has become just an exercise, lacking the power and privilege of Divine answers. 

It is easy to get offended when the Lord questions my “work” and points out a weakness, but if I want to improve my “serve” and meet the goals of His assignments, I will take what He is pointing out and ask for His help to correct and strengthen what He determines is weak.

Much prayer is being offered out of the deepest desire to relieve the pain of evil’s victims, but the real goal in prayer is to see what the Lord will do in direct response to our prayers and I am sure it will always involve His Glorious and miraculous intervention. 

It is critical in prayer, that we know that we know that He hears us and will respond to our cries for intercession and in THAT (His response) all will come to know Him as One who loves each and every one of us, bringing rescue and remedy not just for the here and now but for all eternity.

As we enter into the Holy place of communion with the Father that Jesus died to provide and engage the power of heaven, people will be healed, delivered, and  even resurrected according to God’s Will. 

How can we know His will in specific ways unless He tells us?  How can He tell us if we are not willing to stay long enough in His presence to listen?

We are told that Jesus spent long hours in solitary (intimate) prayer, most likely to get His marching orders directly from His Father in Heaven, to know and activate the Father’s will on earth. That is our legacy and how we too, can become a conduit of His authority in the world of people that touch our own life.

I truly believe that in prayer, my desire and the Lord’s will become one and then ultimately come to pass, but in His time and in His way.

 

Jesus said of His upcoming act of calling forth the dead, that the audience would see it and then know that God the Father sent Him.  May our outspoken prayers for help and recovery enable others to see God the Father as the source of the blessed answers and Jesus as the One who makes our relationship possible. May others experience Him, not just the compassion of the one praying.

In these dark days we need our prayers to be more than sympathy for the ones who are hurting.  We need them to be more than just an expression of worthy comforting words.   We need them to bring down the power of Heaven’s healing and the knowledge of the One who answers.

Today I feel the need to repent and ask forgiveness for the times and ways my prayers were merely an exercise in speaking fine sounding words to impress others rather than a connection and completion of a powerful and Divine circle of communication between the Creator and the created, the Lover and His beloved.

Pentecost: The Grand Finale of Our Salvation***

The Holy One calls to me this morning.  Repetition is the way we learn and grow in or relationship with our Creator God.  The subject of our conversation is a repeat but with new understanding each time He speaks to me about the Celebration of Pentecost.

"Few understand or acknowledge the Eternal significance of the Day of Pentecost".

As I ponder His words, I realize I am guilty as charged.  The day of Pentecost is little celebrated in the Body of Christ.  Except for the “crazy” things people may do (and others may judge) in the misunderstanding of that epic moment in our redemption, little is celebrated about the day.  Yet how vitally important is the day the Holy Spirit was unleashed to indwell those who believe in the One Whom God sent to save humanity and to restore the created back into a sacred relationship with the Creator.

The day of Pentecost was the grand finale in God’s provision and plan for Salvation that Jesus died to provide.  The Holy Spirit in us completes us as part of the circle of Life.  He binds us eternally to the Trinity as “Christ in us, the Hope of Glory”.  

Col 1:26-27 Paul writes: "The mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations but now has been revealed to His saints.  To them (and us) God willed to make known what the riches of the glory of this mystery are, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory".

  

Salvation through Jesus saved humanity from the consequential death that came with rebellion in the “fall”, But Pentecost is the event and day in which we have been brought to unity with the Trinity:  God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.  “Christ in us the hope of glory” is the ultimate completion and goal of salvation, since restored relationship IS the goal of Salvation.

Even as we have been saved from the judgement of Hell, fire and damnation, we are not to regard that as the greatest aspect in having been save FROM something, but rather we must prioritize the priceless blessing in that we are saved FOR Someone.  We have been redeemed for an eternal relationship with the God of all creation and that begins here on earth through the indwelling Presence of the Holy Spirit of the Savior God: Jesus the Christ.

Let us not continue to overlook celebration on and for the day of the unleashing of the Holy Spirit of God upon His people.  For the Disciples, the day of Pentecost coincided with celebration of Shavuot as the feast of weeks, which is an agricultural feast of thanksgiving for the wheat crops.  However, more and deeper it is the anniversary of the day God gave the Torah to the entire nation of Israel assembled at Mt Sinai.  1500 years earlier the Spirit of God fell upon Mt Sinai and while the disciples were thinking of that day of celebration, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, and we call it Pentecost.  (The fiftieth day after the Resurrection.)   Biblical history records the Holy Spirit of God coming upon certain people but not until Pentecost did the Holy Spirit of God come to indwell the believer. 

This is an annual day to celebrate but one day is not enough to celebrate the ongoing Presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives.   That event should be a thankful everyday celebration and acknowledgement of His vital role in our completion as being made one and whole (holy) with the Trinity forever and ever. 

“If you love Me, you will obey Me” said our Lord Jesus.  God’s love language and the way we can “speak” love to Him is through our obedience to His Word and His voice.  The Holy Spirit is the internal voice of our Lord.  The day of Pentecost is the day of the Divine One coming to enable our spirit to overcome our flesh temptations and live out our love in obedience to His directives.

The day of Pentecost is the day we look back upon as the model for the anointing and baptism (immersion) by and into the Holy Spirit of Christ and with the manifestation of Heaven’s power at work in, to and through our lives.  

It is not a day for personal “ecstasy” in a “supernatural” or even “witchcrafty” way but rather to be empowered to share the Truth and Glory of God and His "wonderful works" to the lost and dying world around us. Those who were present on that day were men "from every nation under Heaven" and yet each one heard the message spoken in their own language and not the language of the disciples. 

If we are looking for our own pleasure or a supernatural other “realm” experience to set ourselves apart we have sadly missed the reason for the great unleashing of the Holy One.  It is in our temporal bodies infused by the Holy Spirit that we are enabled to share the Gospel and be a conduit of the life and character and love of our God and King Jesus.  Anything less becomes a point of self-serving, self-exalting, misunderstanding and misrepresentation of Christ in the world of humanity.

The Holy Spirit is our Guide into all Truth.

The Holy Spirit is our indwelling Wisdom and Divine Discern-er of good and evil.

The Holy Spirit is our Enabler and Glorifier of Christ.

The Holy Spirit is the Voice of Holiness within.

In these dark days of confusion and chaos, the Holy Spirit is our Source of Peace.

There is no end or limit to the working Power of Christ within the heart of the Believer, or to the victories He brings in all our trials and challenges here on earth. 

If we have not yet grasped the significance of that day, I believe it is time we settle into the Blessing of Pentecost and acknowledge with thanksgiving the Gift of the Holy Spirit within.

Lord, I long to be in right relationship and under the ruling authority of Your Holy Spirit within.  Thank You for the promise of our Helper sent from You to enable us to live filled and led by Your Holy Spirit.

 

Lord Jesus, I pray you bring me to experience the fullness of the Holy Spirit in the way You experienced Him when You walked in the flesh among men.   Thank you for this poignant reminder and please give me ears to hear what the Spirit is saying and a heart to obey His Voice.  In Your Powerful Name above all Names, I make my request Lord Jesus.  

The Holy Spirit is calling.  Can you hear Him?   

   

Rapture as a Divine Precedent***

The Holy One calls to me this morning with an interesting beginning to our conversation today.  In the non-verbal ways that He guides me into all truth, today He reminds me:

“I am the God of Precedents.  To understand what lies ahead, you must look to the past.”

My thoughts are laid bare before my indwelling Counselor so He takes up my thoughts and speaks to my questions.  Today I am thinking about the promise of the “Rapture” that will wrap up this chapter of His eternal plan for humanity and delightfully so, for those of us who believe.

One thing I have noticed over the years as I study the Word of God: He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.  His Word speaks to all generation and over all of time. What God did at the beginning of the history of man’s days upon the earth, He will repeat during the end of man’s days upon the earth.  (Matt 24:40) His Word is a “living” communication between the Creator and the created.  In that it speaks wisdom and has application to every person born of woman regardless of the time in which we were born.

This morning He takes me back to His word to confirm my thoughts about the coming “rapture”.

I usually look to Elijah as our hope in the promise of a rapture, but today the Lord shows me another man whose circumstances might actually be more similar to our own.

He takes me back to Genesis to remind me about a man named Enoch, who lived and as scripture tells us in Gen 5:22-24, “After he begot Methuselah, Enoch walked with God 300 hundred years and had sons and daughters.  So, all the days of Enoch were 365 years.  And Enoch walked with God and He was “not” for God took him”.

To further explain what happened to Enoch, as a man who “walked” with God even before the flood of His judgment, the Lord takes me to Hebrew 11:3-6, “By faith Enoch was taken away so he did not see death, and was not found because God had taken him; for before he was taken, he had this testimony: that he PLEASED God.  But without faith it is impossible to please Him for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him”.

This is an Old Testament precedent for the “rapture” that we current believers are looking forward to. 

The Lord honored the man who “walked” with him in the days of such depravity and called him out before the flood of judgment came.  There is much symbolism for us to glean from this account of the way God works with His people and especially those who walk with Him.   

As I look to this account for wisdom, I understand that we must have and demonstrate faith, not only in the fact that He exists, (even Satan knows He exits!) but also faith in the goodness of His character that He will reward those who diligently seek Him.  

While not everyone will experience transition by rapture, the point remains that some of us will. Many have died in the Lord Jesus and they are at peace awaiting the completion of God’s eternal plan and reunion with all who have trusted in the good will and reward He has promised.

There is a day on the earth calendar when “when the Lord Himself will descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel and with the trumpet of God.  And the dead in Christ will rise first.  Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and thus we shall always be with the Lord.  Therefore comfort one another with these words (1 Thess. 4:16-18)

In these days when darkness seems to cover the land and evil seems to prevail, our loyalty to the Lord gets tested and our faith in His good character gets challenged in a myriad of ways. The devil has one goal and that is to separate us from the Love of God and our Savior Jesus. One of his ancient techniques is to convince us that God is not a good, gracious, merciful and loving Creator but rather is out to harm or deprive us of things we want or need. 

If we go with that misrepresentation of our God, and we doubt His goodness, faith gives way to fear or rejection and we lose our walking unity with Holiness.

I am thankful for these vital words and the encouragement that comes from knowing that the life and rapture of Enoch represents a Precedent in God’s will and His ways.  We have been told of what pleases our Lord and what “faith” He is looking for that makes us eligible for that great event called the Rapture of the Body of Christ. 

Walking with the Lord has been made far easier for us due to the indwelling Presence of the Holy Spirit. But there still remains a choice that we all have to make: that is to “walk” with Him each day and in the ways where our faith pleases Him.

The Holy Spirit is calling.  Can you hear Him?

        

Worthy or Worthless Words?***

The Holy One calls to me this morning.  Yet again He reminds me to be mindful of the words I speak.  His voice is gentle but insistent.

“It’s time for you to revoke some of the careless words you have uttered and that are causing you pain even if they were uttered in jest”

Sometimes in my feeble attempts to be entertaining I have said some things that have eerily and in ways I did not plan or calculate brought uncomfortable circumstances to bear.   God knows each one.

 

What is exciting to me is to know that the worthless words can be revoked and renounced to reclaim the blessings that I may have denied myself and self-inflicted curses can be broken that I might have inadvertently placed upon my life in opposition to His plans over my role, my calling and the work of my hands.

 

Remember Peter who 3 times denied that he was a "Disciple" of Christ's.  Mark's account says that Peter denied and then, "began to curse and swear". We do not know exactly what these worthless words might have been but Jesus did.

We know that he denied being a disciple or even knowing Jesus. God, despite His grief, honors our words. In the Mark 16 account of the resurrection, of Jesus, it was said to the women who had come to prepare His body for final entombment, by “a young man clothed in a long white robe” in vs 6-7, “Do not be alarmed.  You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified.  He is risen! He is not here! See the place where they laid Him?  But go tell His Disciples-and Peter -that He is going before you into Galilee.  There you will see Him as He said to you.”

Peter had denied being a Disciple and here the angel of the Lord made that distinction. I suppose there are differing interpretations of this directive, but given his denial, it seems to me that Peter was at this moment was no longer identified as a “disciple”.  Scary thought until we read about the sweet forgiveness and restoration process of our Lord.

If three times, Peter called down a curse and denial of the Lord, three times he was given the opportunity to proclaim his love.  Each of 3 worthless words and curses were revoked and his love and faith and loyalty proclaimed.  Such is the move of Holiness toward all of us who have uttered worthless words we have lived to regret.

God honors words; His and ours.  No one will be forced to accept Jesus as the Savior that He is.  What we proclaim in and over our lives has a bearing on our lives.  Why allow the worthless self-cursing words to stand when the ginormous blessings of Heaven are ours to claim and proclaim while we journey here on earth?

Moving on in the thoughts of worthy vs worthless words and believing that we were created in the very image of the Sovereign Creator Himself, I trust we were therefore created to create.  But in the corruption power of the enemy of our souls, we are tempted to make destructive proclamations over ourselves and others thereby becoming an agent of the very darkness that we despise or fear.

We have a great legacy provided by Jesus to bring the Good Will of Heaven into our daily lives.  Praying and proclaiming OUT LOUD His promises as opposed to agreeing with the evil of the enemy’s sick agenda over us and the fallen earth, re-enforces our restored dominion. 

The Lord God's Divine Enabler (the Holy Spirit) lives within us to bring forth what our worthy words declare.  If I am to be a “creator” of good things in the image bearing likeness to my Creator God and Heavenly Father and Savior,  and words truly do have the power of creating, then I must follow His Divine directives to focus on the good, lovely, praiseworthy, admirable, true, noble, and excellent things possible in this life. 

Since I am being prepared for everlasting life, my self-question is, “why am I not not even practicing for what I will be doing for all of eternity????? Like using my words to create and not destroy. I believe that my worthless destructive words can and must be revoked through repentance and then good proclamations be made that reverse the curse the worthless words bring.  The story of Peter drives this home to my heart.

Another thought that crosses my mind is the bondage we may be held in when we continue to make declarations that others have spoken over our lives and ones that we repeat such as a child being told they are anything less than the magnificent workmanship of God Himself.  Even as we discipline and correct our children, they ultimately belong to another and respect for His ownership must be observed.

If we trust and believe in the healing power of the Great Physician, and have been diagnosed with some infirmity or affliction, can we not say, “I am in the process of being healed from said sickness (creative) rather than repeating the diagnosis or condition as if a permanent (and destructive) health issue? 

Many thoughts come as I ponder the principle behind the directive to guard my tongue and utter worthy not worthless words. 

   

What worthy words can I declared today that the Holy One will make manifest in my life and into the extended world that my life touches? .... hmmmmmm.

The Spirit is calling.  Can you hear Him?
