Hello Summer!

Jan 29, 2017

                                                         

Summer is here!  72 degrees going up to 78 today,  beautiful sunshine, clear skies and snow on the mountains through the palm trees, just like I pictured it!  Woopee! 

It was beautiful yesterday too.  I went to the pool and played volley ball in the pool, I hadn't been in the sun for so long, that I forgot to put sun screen on and I couldn't stay the whole time but I was able to get three games in.

I got a liuttle tan but not a burn. Thank God!  Now can do it right next time.

After volley ball, I washed clothes and later I met a little girl (about 10 years old) who asked me if I was going to the entertainment after the movie here at the park.  I ask her if she was going to be in it and she said yes, so I decided to go.  I arrived, and the Entertainment was a family group from Canada, a husband and wife, a son (teenager) and the little girl.  They were good musicians and vocalists.  The first song was about Jesus so I thought I was in the right place.  The next song was a worldly song that began to grieve the Spirit of God in me.  I had this debate going on between the loyalties to the little girl and guarding my heart from the worldly songs they sang, The Spirit of God won and I left.  Sometimes we have to make hard choices.  It was especially hard when I saw them in RV park church this morning.  They had a crowd around them, so I couldn't talk to them.

I got a disturbing call from a friend in another RV park that had their first Bible Study.  She shared with me that the whole discussion was "in search of the truth" of who Jesus was.  The leader said He didn't believe in the Trinity, that Jesus was not God (3 in one).  She shared that she knew the truth and gave the scriptures that proved it, and they did not receive it, so she left. (Good for her!)

I woke up this morning in time enough to hear streaming live from the Parent church in Maryland.  Rev. McLaughlin give a great message:   The title was, "I must be Comforted by the Knowledge of Truth".

It was right on time for me. 

What I received was as follows:

          Knowledge: to understand clearly, not a stranger to it, no doubt, be clear and certain (of the Truth), no uncertainty.

To be comforted through knowledge, I must be filled with:

·        The knowledge of His Word. (have reverence and respect for God)

·        The knowledge of His Son and His Holy Spirit.

              A.  We keep His commandments (They are not optional)

              B.   Follow His statutes (how to do it)

                        We do what we are supposed to do because we                             want to manifest God's love.

              C.  Accept His judgments (Correction is a manifestation                                of God's love and judgment is a built-it                                               consequence, even before we commit the sin.

To be comforted through knowledge, I must be filled with God's Wisdom.

          Wisdom:  The ability to apply that knowledge in a   Biblical way that gets beneficial results. (effect)

          Wisdom is when you connect what you know of God's     of the Will of Godord to what you are doing, then you are living like a       Child of God and we are:

                   A.  We are effective Witnesses ( A person with                          first hand knowledge)

                   B.  We are a consistent Witness.(not up and down,                             like a rock, steadfast, can be counted on, a person                           God can use.)

                   C.  We are a credible Witness.(Apply God's Word                              so our lifestyle shows it).

When I am filled with the understanding of the Will of God:

·        I will understand how I operate.

·        I will know the will of God for my life.

·        I can overcome the world ( because Jesus did)

·        I will conform to the likeness of Jesus.

                   A.  We will comprehend what was. (What was in                       our lives).

                   B.  We will comprehend what is> (I am saved,                           delivered and set free).

                   C.   We will comprehend what is to come.(Heaven,                    a crown of righteousness)

ALL OF IT WORKS BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT!

                            

I then went to the RV Park Church and received another awesome message.  Pastor Jack was fired up because the Lord had healed him of chest pains yesterday. 

He shared: 

That we as Christians, should progress everyday, stand tall and be the light that others can see. We have a fountain of life in us, We are he light of the world.  There is always time to share the power of God that radiates in our lives.  LIFT UP JESUS AND HE WILL GIVE YOU THE WORDS.

Psalms37

If you live the radiant life, (purity) people will come to you, you won't have to go to them.

It was good to see some of the people I had seen before Christmas.

OK, off to the pool with my (Shaklee) sun screen.
