Acts 27:40So they cut the anchors free and left them in the sea. At the same time they untied the ropes that held the steering oars, raised the foresail to the wind, and headed for the beach.
With God ALL things are possible! Grace and Peace to you all From our Father and From our Lord Jesus Christ. Bless you for your encouraging comments and thank you for your continual Prayers and support. Today the Lord gave Dad a seizure free day, Hallelujah.
He is so Handsome!!!!!
What is so interesting and reality!!!!! is that we have to thank the Father for everyday He chooses to give us seizure or no seizure makes no difference,anxious or not anxious,what can we do? Dad and I were reading John 17 this morning How Jesus Prayed for Himself,then the disciples,then for all Believers. This is the sovereignty of God, True believers are those who belong to the Father and are given to the Son , Jesus Death on the cross secured our Salvation, I surrender all of self over to Him. When I confess my sins He is faithful and just to forgive me of my sins and cleanse me from all unrighteousness. Jesus was not just a man,He is the Son of God. Who else can claim to have been with the Father in eternity past?
verse 5,And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.
Verse 24 Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world
Who else but the Son of God can claim that everything which belongs to the Father is also His?.. verses 9,"I ask on their behalf; I do not ask on behalf of the world, but of those whom You have given Me; for they are Yours;
Verse10 and all things that are Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine; and I have been glorified in them.
I Have to believe this prayer Jesus Prayed was intended to bring peace and assurance to our troubled hearts. If I believe in the One Who prayed it and in the sufficiency of His work at Calvary, what right have I to worry and fret? This is a perfect example to me as to How I,we can Pray for each other, seeking the Glory of God,seeking for Divine protection,covering,not from '"suffering",but from satan, spiritual collapse,or opposition.
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose, I Know that Ron and I need to be seeking 1st the will of God in our lives wanting everything that we do to come in agreement with our Lord and Savior. We mess up all the time, Thank you for a Perfect Savior...Blessed be the Name of the Lord when we recognize how much we need Him...It is a daily renewing of the Mind in the Word,and a repenting asking the Jesus to change those things in us that hinder Him from working fully in our lives.
John 16: 15 All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will take from what is mine and make it known to you.
Every request our Lord made on our behalf in His Prayer was a willingness and a necessity of personal sacrifice on the cross of Calvary. Apart from His finished work in His death, burial and resurrection and ascension, these words would be mere wishful thinking.
The price He has paid for man’s salvation is one none of us could have paid. It was paid once for all, and never needs to be paid again.
Heb 9:24 For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with hands – the representation of the true sanctuary – but into heaven itself, and he appears now in God’s presence for us. 25 And he did not enter to offer himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the sanctuary year after year with blood that is not his own, 26 for then he would have had to suffer again and again since the foundation of the world. But now he has appeared once for all at the consummation of the ages to put away sin by his sacrifice. 27 And just as people are appointed to die once, and then to face judgment, 28 so also, after Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many, to those who eagerly await him he will appear a second time, not to bear sin but to bring salvation.
When I think about this I am so privileged and blown away that God Loves me/us that He did all this for me/us! I /we are His Beloved,accepted,adored,and adopted Kids. He Created Ron and I,he sustains Ron and I and Participates in Ron and my life, we choose to have relationship with Jesus Christ our Lord, we choose to have love relationship with the triune God, fixing our hearts on the grace of God and the glory of God. Love for God is the great effect of the Gospel. It is this Love that makes the world's ways less attractive and enables us to resist the temptation of sin. So we go back to the Gospel of God the father ,Son and Holy Spirit. We must focus our minds and heart on Him in all His redeeming Glory. When I struggle in Sin, or Ron struggles in sin we tend to encourage each other in the Word, and not allow sin to preoccupy us. We Worship a Mighty God He that is in me is greater than he that is in this world., I know this was a long word to share Jesus prayer over all who proclaim Him as Lord and Savior of their lives. The Gospel is not just information about Jesus, He is the Good News,It is in and through this Gospel Word that God gives the light of knowledge of the Glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2 Cor 4:6 My prayer daily is that Dad and I "Behold God" Bless each and every one of you in Jesus Name, we Pray for all of you brothers and Sisters in Jesus, we Pray for the Holy Spirit to Minister to your hearts,to grow a deeper relationship with Him. We Pray Father that even when we struggle with our flesh, Lord that you would woe us back quickly. We Love you Father and Thank you for your Mercy,Grace and enduring Love for us. We honor ,Exalt ,and Magnify only you Lord Jesus Amen
