20/20 Vision

Hi, reposting from July 2018. God bless you all.

Loving Father, give us 20 / 20 vision as that year approaches.  You give true meaning because all life is Yours, all time is Yours.  I trust You.  So many other voices claiming to be right (Mark 4:18-19).  I delight in Your way.  Your way is Peace. 

“But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all His prophets, that Christ should suffer, he Hath so fulfilled,” Acts 3:18.

“But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. “Look,” he said, “I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”  Acts 7:55-56.

“[Peter] He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance.  He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners. It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles and birds.” Acts 10:10-12 (NIV).

1 Chronicles 21:16, “And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the LORD stand between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders of Israel, who were clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.”

Revelation 19:11, “And I saw heaven opened…”

Revelation 22:1, “And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.”

Lost and Found

“I came to save that which is lost.” JESUS in Matthew 18:11

I come to bring a division. says Jesus in Matthew 10:34-36

Who’s side are you on?

Separate the wheat from the tares. Jesus in Matt 13:25,30

“For me and my house, we will serve the LORD” Joshua 24:15

“And God both raised up the LORD and will also raise us up by His power” 2 Corinthians 6:14

“Keep Preaching,”

I told a man who was harassed for sharing the good news of Jesus, and another man preaching on the bus.

“My word will not return to Me void.” Isaiah 55:11

“Woe’s me, if I preach not the gospel!” Paul exclaims in 1 Corinthians 9:16

“As you go, preach, say ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.'” says Jesus in Matt 10:7

“The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor…” prophesies Jesus in Luke 4:18

24/7 God

God of numbers, power & might, wisdom and love.  You’re always there – everywhere.

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”         Joshua 1:9

“The eyes of the Lord are in every place, Keeping watch on the evil and the good.” Proverbs 15:3

“Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, I will never leave you nor forsake you.’ ”  Hebrews 13:5

“If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand;
When I awake, I am still with You.”                        Psalm 139:18

Jesus prays, “And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.  For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.” Matthew 6:13

Sunset Dream

“Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.” Matt 6:8

Prophetic dream about my nephew and his friends sitting on a couch in a cave facing a gorgeous sunset.  There was peace.

The sunset indicated an end of a season of interceding for him, lasting eight years, trusting God that he would be okay. (A self-declared atheist, he has recently returned to church).

Never give up hope or stop praying, God is able to save in spite of contrary circumstance; heard at church on Sunday.

Prophecy – New Beginning

A woman left an abusive husband.  She met, fell in love with and married a personal trainer.

“Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old.  Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.”                                 Isaiah 43:18-19

Fulfilling the Law

“But this happened that the word might be fulfilled which is written in their law, ‘They hated Me without a cause.'” Jesus in John 15:25

Matthew 3:14-15:

 “And John tried to prevent Him, saying, ‘I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?’

“But Jesus answered and said to him, ‘Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.’ Then he allowed Him.”

Matthew 5:17-18:

“Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.

“For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.”

“I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body, which is the church, of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God which was given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God…”                                                                 Colossians 1:24-25

 

Great Minds

“For ‘who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?’ But we have the mind of Christ.”                                                                  1 Corinthians 2:16

“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.”           Psalm 32:8 (NIV)

Oh Lord, let us not soften our minds with drugs & alcohol, pacified with lies.  Give us Your truth, Peace, hope, space, and timing. Don’t let us dull our minds, cowering from life, but give us brave hearts, clear thinking, strong trust in You, Lord God.

  • You are “the Way,
  • the Truth,
  • the Life!” (John 14:6)

“Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: 

‘I am the LORD your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way you should go.’ “

Isaiah 48:17

“And in all matters of wisdom and understanding about which the king examined them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers who were in all his realm.”                                                                                    Daniel 1:20

“So Jesus said to them, ‘Because of your unbelief, for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.”                                            Matt 17:20

Mercy for the Poor

“He who oppresses the poor reproaches his Maker,

But he who honors Him has mercy on the needy.”

Proverbs 14:31

“Blessed is he who considers the poor; the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.

The Lord will preserve him and keep him alive, And he will be blessed on the earth; You will not deliver him to the will of his enemies.  The Lord will strengthen him on his bed of illness; You will sustain him on his sickbed.”                                          Psalm 41:1-3

“For you have the poor with you always, and whenever you wish you may do them good; but Me you do not have always.”                                       Says Jesus in Mark 14:7

My son always said, it’s not whether the man holding the cup for change is right or wrong, it’s what you do about him.

Heavenly Father, Who watches all our hearts, help us see the needy with Your eyes and do what’s right, and not treat others with criticism or contempt, in Jesus’ name.
