Are You in Transition?

I logged onto joycemeyer.org this morning and listed to her talk on "Transition" There is 2 parts, so when you go to the website, be sure and look for both of them. You can just listen or watch online. Go ahead and click on the title and it will take you to her website. She has teachings you can listen to online, and of course her many books and tapes.

She has been an inspiration to me ever since I rededicated my life to Christ in 1994. Of course, she continues to impact my life with her teaching. I have some of her books, lots of her tape series.

She is blunt, to the point, a no-nonsense woman whom I greatly admire; and am inspired to be like.

Phil 1:9

Food for thought...meditate and apply the teachings; they will change your life for the better!

In Christ's Love, JJ

Just When I FEEL like I can't go on...

It seems like just when I FEEL like I can't go on...I hear a whispering in my ear;

You are MY CHILD, I AM PLEASED...SOAR LIKE THE EAGLE...DON'T STOP NOW!

IN CHRIST I AM ACCEPTED

Well, I cried myself to sleep, cried some more this morning... decided through Christ I can do all things. Of course that was through the Holy Spirit's encouragement, apologizing to God for trying to do things through my own power and not His. Asking for his forgiveness.

What came to my attention this morning was the lttle pocket book we had gotten through Cleansing Stream ~ Winning Spiritual Warfare: Steps to Freedom in Christ by Neil T. Anderson. In the back it has several scripture references and I'm reading all of them. Beginning with those listed first IN CHRIST I AM ACCEPTED ~

John 1:12 ~ I am God's Child

Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of GOD ~~

John 15:15 ~ I am Christ's friend

I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything I learned from my Father I have made known to you.

Romans 5:1 ~ I have been justified

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God our Lord Jesus Christ.

I am going to write these on index cards and post them in my house where I can see them on a daily basis. There are more ~ I will return later today or tomorrow to list those.

Hallelujah! "JJ"
** all scripture references I am using the NIV version

Feeling like I've Failed

Feeling like I've Failed, not only myself, but God. Somehow knowing he forgives me doesn't seem to make me feel any better.

According to the Bible, which I'm supposed to live by... I am to pick myself up, dust myself off and continue on. I don't even feel like doing that right now. Maybe I'll feel like it in the morning.

Good night ~ JJ

Do You Know Where the Edomites Are?

Do You Know Where the Edomites are Today? Are they in Turkey? Afganistan?

I have read recently that the Edomites are in Afganistan ...

I have recently been drawn to the book of Obadiah in the Old Testament and have been reading it often. My question is where are the Edomites today?

The vision of Obadiah ~

This is what the Sovereighn Lord says about Edom~

We have heard a message from the Lord: An envoy was sent to the nations to say,

Rise, and let us go against her for battle~

See, I will make you small among the nations; you will be utterly despised. The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who live in the clefts of the rocks and make your home on the heights, you who say to yourself, 'Who can gring me down to the ground?'

Though you soar like the eagle and make your nest among the stars, from there I will bring you down,

declares the Lord.

If the thieves came to you, if robbers in the night~

Oh, what a disaster awaits you~ would they not steal only as much as they wanted?

If grape pickers came to you would they not leave a few grapes? But how Esau will be ransacked, his hidden treasures pillaged!
All your allies will force you to the border; your friends will deceive you; those who eat your bread will set a trap for you, but you will not detect it.

In that day declares the Lord, "will I not destroy" the wise men of Edom, men of understanding in the mountains of Esau? Your warriors, O Teman, will be terrified, and everyone in Esau's mountains will be cut down in the slaughter.

Because of the violence against your brother Jacob, you will be covered with shame; you will be destroyed forever.

On the day you stood aloof while strangers carried off his wealth and foreigners entered his gates and cast lots for Jerusalem, you were like one of them.

You should not look down on your brother in the day of his misfortune, nor rejoice over the people of Judah in the day of their destruction, nor boast so much in the day of their trouble.

You should not march through the gates of my people in the day of their disaster, nor look down on them in their calamity in the day of their disaster, nor seize their wealth in the day of their disaster.

You should not wait at the crossroads to cut down their fugitives, nor hand over their survivors in the day of their trouble.

The day of the Lord is near for all nations.

As you have done, it will be done to you; your deeds will return upon your own head.

Just as you drank on my holy hill, so all the nations will drink continually; they will drink and drink and be as if they had never been.

But on Mount Zion will be deliverance; it will be holy, and the house of Jacob will possess its inheritance.

The house of Jacob will be a fire and the house of Joseph a flame; the house of Esau will be stubble, and they will set it on fire and consume it.

There will be no survivors from the house of Esau. The Lord has spoken.

People of Negev will occupy the mountains of Esau, and people from the foothills will possess the land of the Philistines.

They will occupy the fields of Ephraim and Samaria, and Benjamin will possess Gilead.

This company of Israelite exiles who are in Canaan will possess the land as far as Zarephath; the exiles from Jerusalem who are in Sepharad will possess the towns of the Negev.

Deliverers will go up on Mount Zion to govern the mountains of Esau.

And the kingdom will be the Lord's.

Book of Obadiah NIV

What say you?

REVIVE ME, LORD, REVIVE ME !!!

Revival must first start from within yourself, then fan out to others. As I stated in a previous blog entry "Revive Us, Oh Lord, Revive Us" I am now praying a prayer for me personally. Because the Lord wishes to begin with the pray-er first, to see the committment they have. So, this is what I came up with...

Lord; Bring restoration of ME to you in your will & way of doing! Bring an overwhelming deep desire to ME for you, Lord. Revive ME, Lord, Revive ME!

Bring a sense or urgency to ME, Lord. Bring Revival to ME, Lord! That I may desire a deeper relationship with you! Go beyond the superficial to the supernatural communion with my LORD & SAVIOUR ~Jesus Christ! Revive ME, LORD, Revive ME!

I had always included myself in the prayer when I prayed it, but I wanted to let all of you know that. I KNOW without a shadow of doubt that my Revival has already begun.

Has Yours?

Joel 3:11-14 NIV

Come quickly, all you nations from every side, and assemble there.

Bring down your warriors, O Lord! Let the nations be roused; Let them advance into the Valley of Jehoshapht, for there I will sit to judge all the nations on every side. Swing the sickle, for the havest is ripe. Come, trample the grapes, for the winepress is full and the vats overflow ~ so great is their wickedness!

Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the way of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.

Are you in the Vally of Decision?

Let me know, send me an email!

Blessed in Christ, JJ
