Psalm 1:1-2
King James Version
1 Blessed is the man that
walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,
nor standeth in the way of sinners,
nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord;
and in his law doth he meditate
day and night.
Let this post be a post of PURE ADORATION.
I am like that little girl in the illustration above.
Wherein I look dearly to the LORD JESUS, adoring Him with all my heart.
As born again writer, I always pray to JESUS to please guide me what to write, how to write it, and who to share it with.
I keep praying that EVERYTHING must come from Him, and NEVER from my self.
EVERY word, EVERY verse, EVERY thought, must be His alone.
I am particular about this because I cannot bear to mislead anyone.
I cannot bear to misunderstand the LORD.
I cannot bear to misinterpret Scripture.
So I wait for His SPIRIT to guide me.
And when I do, the prompts, clues, and guidance come almost immediately.
Oftentimes, it comes in DROVES.
That's why I have tons of notes all over the place.
Not all notes are acted upon.
Meaning, not all notes need to be written about.
What SPIRIT's really teaching me is to pay attention EVERY time He gives me a prompt, a clue, or an inspiration.
He delights in perfect attention.
He knows I delight in listening to Him ALL the time.
My ears are permanently glued to His heart.
I aspire to "catch" EVERY prompt, clue, or inspiration.
I cannot bear to miss any of it.
I've always searched for ULTIMATE knowledge.
That's why I listen to most anything that catches my attention.
More often than not, patterns are revealed, and I take it up from there.
Everything quadrupled the day GOD made me born again in 2019.
All the more I'm attentive.
Because this time, it's the LORD I'm listening to.
And not what I've "found", or what the world's "supplying" me.
Now we have 112 blogs, and have stopped at this one.
The other 111 blogs were "foundation".
We draw from all of them for our "links".
There is really order in how SPIRIT teaches.
And it's an honor to be taught.
SPIRIT wakes me up anytime something needs to be written.
It's usually at the wee hours of the morning, when most people are sleeping.
It's an opportunity to study, and watch over people, as we do so.
Where the world is in darkness, my room is with GOD's light.
I am a watchman; that's what's expected of me.
CHRIST's enemy has tried ambushing me many times before GOD made me born again.
But I just pray the simplest prayer, making the enemy fail.
All because I instinctively pray the SIMPLEST prayer that comes to mind:
"Please help me, GOD!"
Now that I'm born again, the enemy tries to sabotage my work, or slow it down, but SPIRIT always helps me get it done.
1 John 4:4
King James Version
4 Ye are of God, little children,
and have overcome them:
because greater is he that is in you,
than he that is in the world.
We cannot be swayed from our work.
We need to share our work with the world.
And our work reaches every part of the world.
Whoever listens, or pays attention, is by SPIRIT's design alone.
It is not for me to concern myself with.
If working for JESUS, and being taught by Him appeals to you, all you have to do is pray.
PRAY to JESUS to please guide you.
Ask Him what He wants done, through you.
Lay your heart bare before the LORD, and He shall take care of the rest.
JESUS is the ONLY ONE you can say ANYTHING, and EVERYTHING to -- WITHOUT fear of judgment, or recrimination.
You can be yourself with the LORD.
That's why I'm very childlike with JESUS.
I fear His POWER greatly, and yet I'm also entirely comfortable with Him.
JESUS taught us how to approach, and connect with Him:
Matthew 5:8
King James Version
8 Blessed are the pure in heart:
for they shall see God.
Matthew 18:3
King James Version
3 And said,
Verily I say unto you,
Except ye be converted,
and become as little children,
ye shall not enter into
the kingdom of heaven.
Mark 12:30
King James Version
30 And thou shalt
love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul,
and with all thy mind,
and with all thy strength:
this is the first commandment.
John 3:1-8
King James Version
3 There was a man of the Pharisees,
named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
2 The same came to Jesus by night,
and said unto him,
Rabbi, we know that thou art
a teacher come from God: for no man can
do these miracles that thou doest,
except God be with him.
3 Jesus answered and said unto him,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born again,
he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him,
How can a man be born when he is old?
can he enter the second time
into his mother's womb, and be born?
5 Jesus answered,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit,
he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh;
and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth,
and thou hearest the sound thereof,
but canst not tell whence it cometh,
and whither it goeth: so is every one
that is born of the Spirit.
John 4:24
King James Version
24 God is a Spirit:
and they that worship him
must worship him in spirit
and in truth.
For myself, I've always imagined sitting at His feet, in rapt attention.
Listening to EVERY WORD He's saying, like Mary did, Martha's sister:
Luke 10:38-42
King James Version
38 Now it came to pass, as they went,
that he entered into a certain village:
and a certain woman named Martha
received him into her house.
39 And she had a sister called Mary,
which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.
40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving,
and came to him, and said, Lord,
dost thou not care that my sister
hath left me to serve alone?
bid her therefore that she help me.
41 And Jesus answered and said unto her,
Martha, Martha, thou art careful
and troubled about many things:
42 But one thing is needful:
and Mary hath chosen that good part,
which shall not be taken away from her.
Of course, if I was Mary, I'd give JESUS lots of food -- fast -- if He visited, so I can sit at His feet and just let Him talk, and talk, and teach, and eat, too.
Even as I realize He is the LIVING WATERS, and the BREAD of LIFE, supplying me essential "food" which He alone can give.
Some days, I'm skipping, and hopping like a little girl by His side, hand-in-hand, with Him looking down at me, amused at this little "creature".
Those are the things I enjoy with the LORD.
GOD doesn't need a fancy approach.
Just be yourself with Him.
He knows you anyway.
He created you for His purpose.
Your duty is to find out what that is.
Consider it your soul's adventure.
As I did with mine.
It's really easy connecting with JESUS.
Lay all pride, and ego, outside.
GOD loves a humble heart.
1 Peter 3:3-4
King James Version
3 Whose adorning let it not be
that outward adorning of plaiting the hair,
and of wearing of gold,
or of putting on of apparel;
4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart,
in that which is not corruptible,
even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit,
which is in the sight of God of great price.
