What really is important........

 

 

2012-09-27

When I went out in the crisp autumn morning I took some photos of the forest. This is how I felt when I stood in the presence of the Lord........

What is it that is really important? If I can gain the whole world, all the riches but does not know the Lord, it is all in vain. I know that if I have the Lord on my side, I am ok!



From the Father to the fathers

 

You are my treasure, a hidden jewel in the desert.

Manna from heaven.

You are Mine and I am yours.

Look not at your inadequacies, but look unto Me.

I will furnish your future and lay a foundation for you.

Start building on My Word,

for my Word is the foundation that gives life unto your soul.

Be as a father to the nation.

Do not look back, but go forward.

I will go before you, so that when you fix your eyes upon Me,

You don’t need to look back!

Be strong and courageous and take heart.

My son, I have given you an inheritance.

Take it and run with it! Do not hold back.

Run with My Word to a dying world.

I am your Father,

And when you obey Me it will go well with you.

I love you and want to prosper you.

I will not do you any harm.

Come to Me, and see that I will give you good things,

Running over.

With Me you will lack nothing,

And in return you will be able to provide.

You don’t have to prove yourself to man,

But rather, I will approve of you.

You are my hidden treasure to the world

that is waiting to be revealed.

So, now go, and be a blessing!!

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous.

Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged,

for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go!”

Joshua 1:9

Signs of the end of the age.....



The coming of the Lord is near!!

"Watch out that you are not decieved. For many will come in my name, claimining, 'I am he', and, 'The time is near'. Do not follow them. When you hear wars and revelations, do not be frightened. These things must happen first, but the end will not come right away."

 

"Nation will come up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilence in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven."

 

"There will be signs in the sun, moon and the stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roring and tossing of the sea. Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift your heads, because your redemption is drawing near."

 

"I tell you the truth, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my word will never pass away."

 

"Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxities of life, and that day will close on you unexpectedly like a trap. For it will come upon all those who live on the face of the whole earth."

 

"Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man."  

Luke 21:8-11, 25-28, 34-36

Trust........

Who can you trust in a world of chaos?? Where almost everyone is lying......politicians, teachers, leaders, parents, children, doctors, the layman, husbands, wives, homeless; the list can go on and on. Where can you find trust? Trust............where is it?
 
The Lord is a God who cannot go back on His promises, there is one thing He cannot do and that is to lie. He says He is the way, the truth and the life. He has constantly and continously shown me that I can trust Him. HOW? You might wonder......... I have put Him to the test........where everyhting else have failed me, He has been there to comfort, uplift, mold, given peace, rest for a weary soul, saved me, healed me, gave me a life worth living.........RUBBISH! You might say....................Well, how would you know? Have you tried Him? Have you truly seached Him with all your heart, mind and soul? Have you truly been in a position where you had no other way put to trust an unseen God?

Call unto me and I will answer you and give you great and unseachable things you do not know.
Jeremia 33:3

For everyone who asks receives, he who seeks finds and to him who knocks the door will be open.
Luke 11:10

Do you not know, have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and His understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power to the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall, but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.
Isaiah 40:28-31

These are wonderful promises that I can trust. CAN YOU? Would you dare to walk on the path where God will lead you and you follow?
It is worth trying to trust. Why don't you bow your knees and ask Him for help, search Him, knock on the door............He will open!! He has promised it. Is it worth taking a risk, trusting an unseen God?
God is love. Can you see love?..........You can feel it.............
Wait and see............you will feel Him, if you wait on Him and at the end you will feel Jesus's heart, calling you, loving you, comforting you..........walking next to you...........

Nothing shall take me away from the love of Christ!

Some days are hectic, others are cool, some days are stormy, some are completely and utterly chaos. Toady is one of those days where you wish you could just put yourself under the blankets and sleep away the things you have to do. Just because your body is aching so much. Being in physical pain every day for the last two years have made me realize and appreciate life so much more. Realizing that life is not something you can rely on. Your life could be snuffed out in a moment. The only thing you can really trust in this world is a living God! God says: trust me! Yes, that sounds easy when everything goes good; but when days are gloomy and dull, it is not so easy to trust him. But the Holy Spirit helps me to be convinced and "persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels. nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, not height, nor deapth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord"! I have to keep on trusting, keep on praying, keep on hoping that one day there will be no more pain, suffering, tears or hardache. I have to have faith!! Faith that I will be able to step out of my bed in the morning, have faith that I will be able to breath when I wake up, have faith that I will be able to see my husband when I wake up in the morning and have faith that I will be able to have strength for the day.......so even if my conditions look bad and look as if I will not be able to make it today I will keep on trusting in an unseen God that gives me strength. Maybe you think it is naive, but you might not know this God, it is worth testing, trusting.........it might work.........
