The Road to the 100-Fold Harvest

Psalm 126

A song of ascents!



When the Lord brought back His exiles to Jerusalem, it was like a dream!

We were filled with laughter, and we sang for joy.

And the other nations said, "What amazing things the Lord has done for them."

Yes, the Lord has done amazing things for us! What joy!

Restore our fortunes, Lord, as streams renew the desert.

Those who plant in tears will harvest with shouts of joy.

They weep as they go to plant their seed, but they sing as they return with the harvest.

God-Sized Hole

I was doing some catching up on "Wednesdays with Beth" - watching the last two recorded Wednesdays that I missed. I had a hunch that I should just pick up my computer and jot my notes down in my blog. I was right. Not any time today to put any of my own added comment but.... GOOOOOOD STUFF!



What is it you feel like you lack that you think would make you feel complete?
Right there in that place... you are vulnerable!
What is it you lack? Because it needs guarding!
John 1:38
38Turning around, Jesus saw them following and asked, "What do you want?"
(Interesting, don't you think, that the first words out of His mouth as He began His ministry were "what do you want?")
Gen 30:1
1 When Rachel saw that she was not bearing Jacob any children, she became jealous of her sister. So she said to Jacob, "Give me children, or I'll die!" 2 Jacob became angry with her and said, "Am I in the place of God, who has kept you from having children?"

Who is it we are holding responsible for what ONLY God can deliver.

Your enemy as well as your God is closely watching after your DESIRES! Guard them! For desire turns into desperation. Desperation does NOT make good decisions.

I have more value than that! Don't settle!!! "Even somebody crummy is better than no one." NOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!





I am a child of God


I house the Spirit of the LIVING GOD!!! Let that sink in!

Surely ___________________ will love me now.
_________ = Ron, children, parents, my church
THAT is oppression!

What could I do to make that person love me?
-sleep with him?
-lie to him?
-act just so?
-dress just so?
-more attractive?
-more successful?
-more "giving"?

Galatians 1:10
Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.

God's approval is so much easier to get than man's.

Sweet Lover of my soul and Only One Worth Looking To For Approval,
I thank You for the healing You are exercising in my life and in my heart! And I thank You that You see each one for whom I pray will receive this same healing! And I thank You that YOU are praying for them with groanings I cannot even comprehend! Thank You, Sweet Jesus for Your Love!
I love You, too!
JJ
