Stirring the Golden Prayer Pot Our Father, it’s hard not to resent the intruders called Trials along with their cohorts, Temptations. I’m still working on being happy that they’ve arrived for the purpose of digging into my heart to see if there is any hurtful way in me. But I would really like it if there was some short cut to character maturation that didn’t involve sometimes painful tests similar to when a farmer separates wheat from the husks. When…..
Stirring the Golden Prayer Pot You are our Father, our Redeemer. Your Name is from everlasting. May others know that Your Son started out like You in every way, yet He chose to empty Himself of His own equality with You and the forever existence He had with You by taking the form of a humble servant, becoming obedient until death then triumphed over the grave. I am determined to progressively become more intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving the wonders…..
Stirring the Golden Prayer Pot Our Father, I honor Your name by conducting myself as a commandment abiding free-born Kingdom citizen. Well, that’s my desire but sometimes I still kick against Your prodding to walk Your Way by attempting to do things my own way. Still, I’m looking for the day I will no longer have to deal with the spiteful, thorny neighbors who mock when I fail miserably. Plowing through the overgrowth loosens up a lot of harden dirt…..
Stirring the Golden Prayer Pot Our Father, give me today the things necessary for my existence. Even though my father and mother walked out and left me, You, Father, reached into the most hidden places where I felt forgotten like a cracked clay pot, easily discarded and gladly replaced, to assure me I’m Your choice. You will not throw Your unique creation away! Restore my inner being so I no longer relapse into my childhood rejection wounds made by the…..
Stirring the Golden Prayer Pot Our Host Father, I know You will provide the necessary provisions, the hidden Mánna, for your handpicked ones to live this life in Your preferred-will. Help me to feast on Your Secret Wisdom so I can taste the unique flavor of our covenantal ancestry in order to recognize when men are ‘cooking The Book’ to purposely mislead and deceive by dishonestly making changes to Your Written Records. Thank You that Your Words are a fence…..
Stirring the Golden Prayer Pot Our Father, Your Name must always be honored as Holy! Above everything else, I inquire to get to the bottom of what is approved of in Your eyes. By digging up the Truth covered by the dirt of man-made traditions, similar to harvesting the underground peanuts, I have gained a better understanding and reverence for You. So I mean no disrespect with all my questions but each new answer only whets my…..
Your eyes will dictate (issue an authoritative command) the direction which your feet must follow. What are you looking at? “And lifting their eyes, they saw no one except Yeshua alone.” (Matthew 17:8)
The darkness of gloom veiled the land of my mind with all the news of food shortages, no fuel for vehicles or homes, money devalued, housing and stock market crashing, etc. It became so overwhelming to the point I thought I had missed our Father’s timing in making some big decisions. Wish it hadn’t taken me so long to remember how our Father took care of the Israelites. It was foretold how long they would be enslaved. Their deliverance was…..
Matthew (14:22-32) records a sort of “Gilligan’s Island” incident involving a boat, some passengers, and a storm during their “three hour tour.” It begins when Yeshua tells His disciples to head off in the boat and go on to the other side while He dismissed the crowds. After the crowds headed home, Yeshua went up the mountain side to refresh Himself in prayer. It had grown late while He was there by Himself so by now the boat was a…..
If we are to imitate Him, then, in my opinion, more people need to be jumping up and down with joy… being happy out loud! “I have told you these things, that My joy and delight may be in you, and that your joy and gladness may be of full measure and complete and overflowing.” (John 15:11 AMPC) “You have delighted in integrity, virtue, and uprightness in purpose, thought, and action and You have hated lawlessness; the utter disregard…..
