WHEN GOD SAYS NO!

September 4, 2015

Jeremiah 7:23-24 (NIV)
23 but I gave them this command: Obey me, and I will be your God and you will be my people. Walk in obedience to all I command you, that it may go well with you. 24 But they did not listen or pay attention; instead, they followed the stubborn inclinations of their evil hearts. They went backward and not forward.
1 Samuel 15:22 (NIV)
22 But Samuel replied:
“Does the Lord delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the Lord?
To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams.
WHEN GOD SAYS NO
I once heard someone say that the only thing worse than waiting, is wishing you had waited. Sometimes God’s protection comes beautifully wrapped in the word No, or even the words Not Now. When we are clear that He has answered no or not now, and we willfully disobey His voice we will face grave consequences, and possibly years of regret.

No Cell Phones

Psalm 91

1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.[a]

2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”

3 Surely he will save you
from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence.

Abiding – Part II

The secret to fruit bearing and representing the true character of Christ.

Today I would like to share some thoughts with you on fruit bearing

John 15: 5 says
5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

Abiding: – Part I

The Secret To Fruit Bearing And Representing The True Character Of Christ

1 John 2:6 (NIV)
6 Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.

1 John 3:9-10 (NIV)
9 No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God.10 This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister.

Don’t Complain

Numbers 11:1-10

11 Soon the people began to complain about their hardship, and the Lord heard everything they said. Then the Lord’s anger blazed against them, and he sent a fire to rage among them, and he destroyed some of the people in the outskirts of the camp. 2 Then the people screamed to Moses for help, and when he prayed to the Lord, the fire stopped. 3 After that, the area was known as Taberah (which means “the place of burning”), because fire from the Lord had burned among them there.

Authentically You

Psalms 139:14-18

14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

your works are wonderful,

I know that full well.

15 My frame was not hidden from you

When I was made in the secret place,

When I was woven together in the depths of the earth.

16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;

All the days ordained for me were written in your book

Before one of them came to be.

17 How precious to me are your thoughts,[a] God!

How vast is the sum of them!

18 Were I to count them,

They would outnumber the grains of sand—

When I awake, I am still with you.

Dream

Proverbs 29:18–

Where there is no vision, the people are unrestrained

But happy is he who keeps the law.

Ephesians 3:20-21–

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

Take a Minute

Code Blue

Col 4:2 Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.

As most of you know in September of last year my husband almost lost his life to a heart attack. This was right after we had taken our daughter for her first year of college.

This year only eleven months later in August we took our daughter to start her second year of school and while we were hundreds of miles and several hours away from our home town my husband became very ill and so close once again to losing his life. We rushed him to the hospital at about 3:30am in the morning not realizing this would turn into three days in ICU and a total of four days in the hospital. My daughter was scheduled to start school that Monday morning. My first concern of course was for my husband’s welfare and well-being. I also was concerned for the impact that this would have on my daughter as she began a new school year.

Mirage

A few weeks ago I was asked to speak at an annual event that our Church family sponsors called the “Ruth Rally”.

This year’s theme was “MIRAGE” and our theme scripture was Colossians 2:8

Colossians 2:8
See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces[a] of this world rather than on Christ.
