As i Sleep and When i Awake

"Lord, as i sleep, caress my mind with Your holiness and grace, then when i awake, possess my attitude and actions for Your glory. Amen." -kww

Now, i begin again, to express my desperation for Your Presence. Amen.

“Finished With Sin!”

“So then, since Christ suffered physical pain, you must arm yourselves with the same attitude He had, and be ready to suffer, too. For if you have suffered physically for Christ, you have finished with sin.” ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Now, i begin again to know i can and must be finished with sin! Amen!

“To Be”

Was just “talking with” Oswald Chambers. He “said” this to me:

“It is easier to fuss around at work than to worship; easier to pay attention to details, to say our prayers, or conduct a meeting than to concentrate on God… Once you are rooted and grounded in Christ the greatest thing you can do is to be.” Oswald Chambers 

Now i begin again… “to be.”

A Double-Minded Man

“If any of you lacks wisdom [to guide him through a decision or circumstance], he is to ask of [our benevolent] God, who gives to everyone generously and without rebuke or blame, and it will be given to him. But he must ask [for wisdom] in faith, without doubting [God’s willingness to help], for the one who doubts is like a billowing surge of the sea that is blown about and tossed by the wind. For such a person ought not to think or expect that he will receive anything [at all] from the Lord, being a double-minded man, unstable and restless in all his ways [in everything he thinks, feels, or decides].” James‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬-‭8‬ ‭AMP‬‬

Now i begin again to trust You to make me to be singularly focused on You, my God.

Conviction to Be Saved and Sanctified -- Two Works of God’s Grace

My mom gave me such a beautiful testimony today of her life. She said: "Kerry, the Lord convicted me of my sins before he saved me, and later He convicted me again to be sanctified." She said: "Though my sins had been forgiven when I went to pray there was something between me and the Lord and I learned it was me still wanting what I wanted more than what God wanted and when I surrendered that attitude, He sanctified me." Such a simple but beautiful way to hear the witness of two works of God Grace -- salvation and sanctification.

Now, i begin again to share the message of Holiness.

“Fill in All the Blanks”

"I've been a Christian for almost 59 years and God continues to fill in all the blanks in my life." Lady Melba

Now i begin again, to say “i surrender all…” again. Deo Volente. Whatever God wants.

Why Go to Church

I NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHY GOING TO CHURCH MADE YOU A HYPOCRITE, BECAUSE NOBODY GOES TO CHURCH BECAUSE THEY'RE PERFECT.

IF YOU'VE GOT IT ALL TOGETHER, YOU DON'T NEED TO GO. YOU CAN GO JOGGING WITH ALL THE OTHER PERFECT PEOPLE ON SUNDAY MORNING. 

EVERY TIME YOU GO TO CHURCH, YOU'RE CONFESSING AGAIN TO YOURSELF, TO YOUR FAMILY, TO THE PEOPLE YOU PASS ON THE WAY THERE, TO THE PEOPLE WHO WILL GREET YOU THERE, THAT YOU DON'T HAVE IT ALL TOGETHER. AND THAT YOU NEED THEIR SUPPORT. YOU NEED THEIR DIRECTION. YOU NEED SOME ACCOUNTABILITY, YOU NEED SOME HELP.

Now, i begin again to confess i am desperate for Jesus and His Church…
