The Most Important Thing we can do in Godly Love.

Yesterday, I had the privilege to go with other Christ Followers and Lay Hands in a Communion of Prayer and Praise upon the Honourable Governor and First Lady of Missouri, Mike & Claudia Kehoe.

During the course of our visit with both of them, they took the time to share, very transparently, a small part of the weighty concerns affecting all Missourians that are on their hearts. At issue particularly was their heart concerning the upcoming Issue 3.

A Yes vote on Issue 3 would not only reduce or eliminate abortion of unborn children, but also prevent the sexual mutilation of children caused by the transgender confusion of spiritually unanchored people who are trying to medicate their pain in a way that will only bring more bo***ge and pain.

Afterward, our Prayer Team also had the opportunity for a similar visit with the Attorney General of Missouri, the Honorable Catherine Hanaway and Deputy Chief of Staff James Lawson. They also shared the weight of their focus on protecting the people of the State of Missouri.

During this 2nd meeting, I was informed that this past weekend, the Chief of Staff for the Missouri Secretary of State took their own life.

The weight of important and even critical decisions and intercession on behalf of our elected and appointed state officials and all who work with them for the people of Missouri and the United States is not a small thing.

It was never intended by God for us to carry any care or burden without Him ... or without each of us as a Christian people being involved.

1 Timothy 2:1-4 NLT
"I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them.

Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity.

This is good and pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth."

I encourage your prayer and support of all our elected officials. None of us are Perfect, but each of these men and women are in place for a time such as this. May God strengthen each of them, guide them with Wisdom, protect them and lead them into Perfect Peace.

Amen.

Jesus' Grace is Sufficient. No matter what. Always.

Knowing Who is Who in a Fallen World.

Faith without works is dead. Faith with the appropriate work LIVES.

"Servants, obey in everything those who are your earthly masters, not only when their eyes are on you as pleasers of men, but in simplicity of purpose [with all your heart] because of your reverence for the Lord and as a sincere expression of your devotion to Him.

Whatever may be your task, work at it heartily (from the soul), as [something done] for the Lord and not for men, Knowing [with all certainty] that it is from the Lord [and not from men] that you will receive the inheritance which is your [real] reward. [The One Whom] you are actually serving [is] the Lord Christ (the Messiah)." Colossians 3:22‭-‬24 AMPC

Faith or Trust doesn't take place in a vacuum - it's Relational between two or more of us.

Faith comes from reverence and sincere devotion to each other. That Trust is one of Loyalty, Respect & Honour that goes both ways.

God sets the standard for Faith High and meets it even when we cannot. He remains Faithful to us as His children even when we are not found Faithful. He Respects the Free Will of our choices that He gave each of us when we miss the mark.

Without Faith, it is impossible to please God.

That means without a relationship that naturally manifests Loyalty, Respect & Honour from both parties, neither is ultimately pleased.

When we watch the events of each day in our country, do we have spiritual eyes and ears to clearly understand Who is Who based on how they treat others?

True Success in God's Love

God lovingly anticipates and moves toward us with divine favor even before we ask. Yield your thoughts and itinerary to his guiding and he will enrich your life and bring success, not through your efforts but through His Love.

Isaiah 65:24 NLT
"I will answer them before they even call to me. While they are still talking about their needs, I will go ahead and answer their prayers!"

Matthew 6:7-8 NLT
“When you pray, don’t babble on and on as the Gentiles do. They think their prayers are answered merely by repeating their words again and again. Don’t be like them, for your Father knows exactly what you need even before you ask him!"

Romans 8:26-27 NLT
"And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will."

True Grace and Peace Always Lead to the Prince of Peace.

Mark 9:38-41 NLT
John said to Jesus, “Teacher, we saw someone using your name to cast out demons, but we told him to stop because he wasn’t in our group.”

“Don’t stop him!” Jesus said. “No one who performs a miracle in my name will soon be able to speak evil of me.

Anyone who is not against us is for us.

If anyone gives you even a cup of water because you belong to the Messiah, I tell you the truth, that person will surely be rewarded."

Righteousness In Christ not Self.

“He is the God who made the world and everything in it. Since he is Lord of heaven and earth, he doesn’t live in man-made temples, and human hands can’t serve his needs—for he has no needs. He himself gives life and breath to everything, and he satisfies every need. “His purpose was for the nations to seek after God and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him—though he is not far from any one of us." Acts 17:24‭-‬25‭, ‬27 NLT

The Journey is not about Destination, its about Development and who you are with.

I remember rejoicing when after 8 years of working behind the scenes the Teardrop Cross was assembled in September 2018. Once in place, I admit I became focused on the problems and things that needed fixing. I still do that more than I like to admit.

God does chasten or reprove those he loves but it's really not about beating yourself up - it's about maturing and growing through the process. Being refined in the heat to get the dross out of the molten metal so we reflect the face of the craftsman.

The following scripture talks about this: but it's easy to miss the point if you focus on the chastening. The point is that the journey is taken with someone who loves you more and better than you know how to love yourself. And it's an open book test so he will help you cheat with short cuts and encourage you to improve.

And he sets a very fine table at which we fellowship and dine with Him and our Christian family. Enjoy the journey today - you are never alone and have the best company and hospitality around.

Revelation 3:19‭-‬21 AMPC
"Those whom I [dearly and tenderly] love, I tell their faults and convict and convince and reprove and chasten [I discipline and instruct them].

So be enthusiastic and in earnest and burning with zeal and repent [changing your mind and attitude]. [Prov. 3:12.]

Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears and listens to and heeds My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will eat with him, and he [will eat] with Me.

He who overcomes (is victorious), I will grant him to sit beside Me on My throne, as I Myself overcame (was victorious) and sat down beside My Father on His throne."

Christ is the depths of Peace.

For Christ himself has brought peace to us. He united Jews and Gentiles into one people when, in his own body on the cross, he broke down the wall of hostility that separated us. He did this by ending the system of law with its commandments and regulations. He made peace between Jews and Gentiles by creating in himself one new people from the two groups. Together as one body, Christ reconciled both groups to God by means of his death on the cross, and our hostility toward each other was put to death. Now all of us can come to the Father through the same Holy Spirit because of what Christ has done for us. Ephesians 2:14‭-‬16‭, ‬18 NLT

While Paul speaks of the reconciliation of Jews and Gentile in these scriptures, Christ did much more.

He reconciled all and put all hostility toward each other to death.

Pray for each other when we miss the mark. When a brother or sister misses the mark, we can ask for mercy on their behalf and give them life.

Choose to give Life.

Draw close to God and He will draw close to you.

James 4:5-10 NLT
"Do you think the Scriptures have no meaning? They say that God is passionate that the spirit he has placed within us should be faithful to him.

And he gives grace generously. As the Scriptures say, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.

Let there be tears for what you have done. Let there be sorrow and deep grief. Let there be sadness instead of laughter, and gloom instead of joy.

Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up in honor."
