seeing deeper

My mind flips wildly~~~~
from thought to thought
so i will try to stay congruent with my flow

The law is death to us
the Bible says so
When the law was given 3,000 people died

the law gives power to sin
the Bible says so
Paul says the law revives sin in me

Now enter GRACE
Jesus is Grace the Bible says so

when the Spirit was given at Pentecost 3,000 were saved

GRACE brings life
Jesus is life

Law brings death


but we love law,the Bible says because our deeds are evil

Adam brought death,or sin into the world
Adam is a man in the image of God
Yep...Bible says so

Jesus brought life into the world,or forgiveness of sin
Jesus was a man (born of a women) He is God
i don't really need to say it,but i like to,Bible says so

So the Son of God,died for the Son of man
do you see the magnitude of the gross overpayment this was

Jesus died for the sin of the world
think about the difference in value of GOD ,Who is life, compared to man (made by God)
we seem to have trouble realizing that Jesus took away or paid for the sin of the whole world
everyone's sin is forgiven
no don't even go there...right away the carnal mind starts arguing but what about...just stop
Jesus paid for every thing, every curse disease,poverty and much much more at the cross then cried out in a loud voice, IT IS FINISHED

We have all these notions of repentance confession sincerity of belief...

that confuse the simple truth
the sin of the world was paid for at the cross

EVERYONE FORGIVEN

all we need to do is accept it, are you doing it again, just stop
all we need to do is accept it. period. agree with God that Jesus forgives your sin
and you have eternal life

GRACE

it is not about what you do it is about what HE has done

Glory in His love for you

I sooooo longed to love the Lord with all my heart, don't we all.
It alludes us, doesn't it.
It is because we aren't capable of a sustainable unchanging love.
Isn't that a little hard to swallow?
We have such unreal expectations of clay.
It is the Lord who is unchanging.
We get confused, don't we , we don't mean to.
Only Christ is unchanging...
Boast in His love for you.
That is my word to myself today.

Not Doing Nothing

The children were running about wildly crying, :"grandpa is gona chop the chickens! Grandpa is going to chop the chickens!"
I was surprised at all the excitement I didn't even know that you had to prepare a chicken, I thought you sat down and ate fried chicken. That's all my small life experience had given me.
But I knew for sure I wanted to be present for this excitement. After all these were the older cousins whom I had great respect and admiration. Running around collecting the many grand children who all lived in a small radius and there were lots of them.
I gathered around in the crowd of excited children. Ready.... expecting...
Grandpa appeared a mighty towering man of respect and adoration to all,esspecaly his many blessings, that God had graciously given to him.
He had an ax in his hand something also new to me. I lived a few miles away. A world apart from the family who literally were next door to one another, how I loved to visit in this world of blood relatives, where you were "one of them" by birth right.
Grandpa grabbed a chicken then it happened! This man who I had seen as mighty, strong and loving. Swung the chicken causing the body to twist in one swoop breaking it's neck then up on the stump in one action and the ax came down in the other hand with precision and skill the head fell to the ground with the body running wildly with no head wings flapping blood shooting, it was allot for a small girl to take in.
Children were shouting laughing with wild delight. I however, went unnoticed in my shear fright at a defenseless headless creature flailing hysterically about, headless coming towards me without reason or purpose.
I share that to share this:
Our "Work" as I now understand it is to keep our eyes on Jesus.
Those around you will think you are doing nothing.
Mary,sat at Jesus feet.
I'm sure it wasn't just Martha, who found her behavior appalling.

Martha was after all running about doing things. Important things!
There sat Mary quietly cultivating a relationship with the master no doubt she had to tune out the snide remarks made in her direction. Her "work" was to hear the Lord to know Him.
Didn't God say," This is my Beloved Son hear ye HIM". It should be so simple.
But not for clay we have to purpose to cultivate our heart and mind to be in conversation and listening to Jesus.

Right?

By sitting at Jesus feet Mary was ready for service.
When no one Else seemed to hear Him. She alone took the expensive perfume (she was criticized) to prepare Jesus for His burial. She heard Him when He said as a seed must fall to the ground so must the Son of Man. He also said as Jonah was in the belly of the whale so the Son of Man will be in the earth for three days.
She alone prepared Him.
She had purpose.
Seek ye first Gods righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you.
Gods righteousness is Jesus.

Martha is such a great example also because she was the one who seemed to be "doing"good, man she was awesome. Think about it, she was preparing food the house everything that we would do, that make sense to the human mind.
She had the praise of men.

Consider this:
Martha is remembered for what?

Mary is remembered for preparing the Christ, the Son of the Living God, to do the "Work" of saving the world.

Breath of Life

For some reason unknown to me, today was a difficult day to breath. Finally I was feeling very constricted a little wheezy. I was getting nervous and just wanted to get home. I felt on the cusp of panic. Breath is so primary your body, it has it's own agenda. It's like the body goes on high alert ready to pull out it's emergency kit and take control if necessary.

It gives you a feeling of being "out" of control.

Any way today I thought wait a tic, the breath of life comes from God. What if this is a demon pestering me.
So I claimed healing and that I depend on God for my breath, that He in fact gives the breath of life!
I told my body it had to breath and that shortness of breath must leave my body.
I had essential peppermint oil and had been using it (very helpful). Anyway instead of rushing for home (my comfort zone) I continued what I was doing. I spit up a bit of phlegm ( that was a bit of relief). Finished what I was doing got in my car had a shot of peppermint water (I had made earlier).
Started for home with the windows down and the fresh air blowing.
I thanked God that He is the breath of life.I began to breath more freely and cleanly. And realized for the first time, even is there is something wrong in a persons body it can be overcome by the BREATH OF LIFE.

It's actually easy to see the power of HIS breath.
When a person is in perfect health where even an autopsy shows there was nothing wrong still they are dead.
How can that be a perfectly good body?
Because they don't have the breath of life.
God breathed into Adams nose and mouth and He became a living being!!!

20/20 Vision

Do you like that game where the duck goes by and you squirt it with a rifle that shoots water?
If you get it just right you knock it over if your really good you get a prize, a trinket a memento of the day of fun.
Don't be that duck.
The demons have allot of fun, convincing us that we can do allot. That we are pretty smart.
I imagine the conversation with Eve went something like this:
"You can be like, God!
you can know stuff good and evil, that would be so helpful when you talk with God in the cool of the day, already isn't that the best part of the day?
Think how pleased He would be if you knew, like Him, the difference between good and evil.
You would be like God, wouldn't that make Him happy.
After all He said He would keep no good thing from You.
Look at the pretty tree, isn't it lovely, doesn't is look good,girl don't you feel hungry? Go ahead of course He wants you to have it, you know He would never want you hungry.
We don't know the exact conversation but it isn't that hard to imagine that it could have gone along those lines. Even today the Enemy deceives people into thinking good is evil and evil is good.
That it's up to us to take things into our own hands in order to please God.

That is not my point though.
My point is how easy we are distracted from what is good, Jesus said, that He is good. He is good...He is good. do you get that Jesus is good.

The only good that exists is Jesus.

I don't want to seem like a broken record but it is so difficult for us to make the mental leap.
That Jesus is our Provision, He is our righteousness, He is good.
A clay mind stumbles at the mystery that Jesus is.

We are a mom,or a wife or a working woman on and on. Because
we take our identity in what we do.
We don't get that He is every thing that is good. Good does not exist with out Him.

Furthermore, He is the light of the world.
I believe it took Him three hours of death to secure eternal salvation for us. (I would not argue this point)
The earth experienced three hours of darkness, why?,because Jesus is the light of the world!
Death is not as some would believe the end of our existence, again why, because if Jesus had stopped existing the world and all therein would not exist. He created all things and in Him all things exist.

Don't get tricked by desiring the knowledge of the tree of good and evil.
realize that Jesus is the good you seek
all satisfaction all contentment is found in Jesus

There fore you don't have to be a sitting duck.
Jesus conquered the enemy.
I watch my dear husband,in a job that requires more and more year by year.
More is required but less time is given to do it.
Like Pharaoh of old required more bricks and less material. I see the enemy laughing at how difficult the circumstances have become but as long as the job is seen as our provision my dear husband is a shooting duck, to the enemy.
Once Jesus is seen (declared) as Provider, than that can change.
So I am praying for Him, to let go( hard as it may seem).
My dear husband is the sole provider for our family.
I don't see it that way though. As you might guess I see Jesus as the provider for this family.
Which to my son is madness. He thinks as any rational person would that I should go out this instant and get a job!

My job as I "see" it is to look to my provider, keep my eyes on Jesus.
I am not saying I won't get a job, Iam just saying that my work is to focus on Jesus. Not to franticly run to and fro to provide. God is Provider. I need to rest in Sabath rest to see the new thing He is doing look to my Prosperity.

Adendem

At the time that I wrote the last blog called everyday lives my husband was at a meeting. In that meeting they told him that his largest account 27 stores was going with another company at the end of the year. Furthermore they told him an audit on his work revealed that he had not properly secured some traps and that if any more were found unsecured he would be fired.
God gave a prophecy when my husband was speaking in tongues and God gave to me an interpretation as follows: Thr0ugh my husband, God was pouring out a tenfold blessing.
Also through my husband, God would give a ten fold blessing.
God, was very clear on three points :

1. ten fold blessing would come through my husband
2. it would come in a mighty way or fashion (tenfold)
3 it was through my husband and would flow to his children.

Now I have to be excited at such seemingly frightening news about the job
: Because it shows God is moving!!!

A job is not provision:God is provision

Circumstances are not reality:Jesus made everything and in Him everything exsits

When the tenfold blessing is viable tangible : we will be prosperous and people will see that it is Jesus who is provision

I have excitment in my gut, because I am seeing the visible movement of what God has said. What I have since been proclaiming:

Jesus is Provision
He became poor that we might be rich! Rejoice with me in faith. Like poor Zacharia who had to be struck dumb because he questioned the word of the Lord.
Let me not be found but Lord like Joshua or David who knew nothing is impossible with the Lord, let me be found in their company.

The Victoious: Victory is the Lords!
