Fun Walking With The Lord

I know I have not written on this site in a while, so does that mean I don't spend my time with Lord in prayer, worship or in the word of God? No I just don't write, I do spend time with the Lord each day as led usually. Meaning if a song pops into my mind I go search and play it, or sometimes I want to play my own worship song to Him. I have been sending out words of Christ only one scripture a day to family, so I am there usually first thing and the Lord will change what I have some future ones listed. So is that hearing from the Lord? Yes however I ask if He has a word for His people and don't always hear so I am in the word myself on those times. I am picky in my old age and want the words to be out of the mouth of God as Yeshua said to do Mt 4:4. Most of the Bible is words of man and God even said the pens of the scribes that wrote things do lie (vain)  Jer 8:8 . Well I believe they had enough fear of God Almighty that they did not change the out of the mouth of God scriptures. 

You know the "saith or thus saith the LORD scriptures. "saith the LORD" is in scriptures 577 times that exact spelling. And "house of the LORD" is in scriptures 213 times exact spelling. And "LORD" exact spelling is in scripture 5,555 times. What does capital LORD mean? Hebrew: ) self-Existent or Eternal; Jeho-vah, Jewish national name of God:—Jehovah, the Lord. Did you know God's Name? Well they didn't have vowels back then so letters YHWH or some argue YHVH.

This morning not hearing for people to search the word, I did something I have not done in ages, I asked the Lord to direct my path and fanned the pages with the Bible upright and let it drop open. I used to do this a lot way back and how I did was to go to the very first chapter listed and read that chapter for reading that day, sometimes that meant turning to the next page even. Today I did this and it dropped open to Isaiah 50, so I did read that chapter, and interesting there is something I mentioned on a post and didn't link the scriptures to. Of course there were 2 mentions I failed to do this with, one being the first verse of Isaiah 50, first verse go figure. So let me stop right now and correct my error. Ok did that the post was called "I thank thee Father, babes".

We are told to ASK and it will be given unto us Mt 7:7...Father Almighty God Jehovah all He desired was to have a people that would hear Him and Israel didn't want that they were afraid of God. The only way to hear is to ASK and let Him direct you even through scriptures. Many people I am sure will be working or thinking about other things and for no reason a word or two will enter their minds, rather than to stop and go search scripture on what happened, people will just think where did that come from I wasn't even thinking about that. It might be God wanting to help you, yes he can do that with the word of God. You will then as you learn to walk with Him that He even has a sense of humor. Don't do it if you don't have desire to hear the Lord you can just be like Israel was. God will take you to what He wants you to know about. Trust Him and remember to Thank Him.

Have a blessed day.

Prayer and the word *If*

With the Bible software I have, I can check mark just words spoken by Jesus Christ, the words in red. The word "If" is used just in the book of Matthew 53 times and in the book of John 59 times. So spoken by Christ. For this post I am just going to focus on it where most pray and should they not get answer to prayer they simply don't know where to look or what to do. Christians today and for many years have focused on the Epistles of Paul and not on the Gospels of Messiah's words to us. Then wonder why prayer is not answered. One verse regarding this is John:

John 15:7 (KJV) If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

So the first question would be "Do Jesus Christ's words abide in you?". With today's church the answer would be no. We need a good foundation of Jesus words in us. There are many "if" statements regarding the words of Jesus. I chose this particular one as people will get upset if prayer is not answered and never ask the Lord about it or seek the Lord thru the words of Jesus.

John 14:23 (KJV) Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

Answered prayer for rain

 I had prayed for rain a couple days ago and it was nice to wake up and here there was the rain.  Just a gentle rain but enough to wet things.  I started my day as fairly normal with worship music and word searches I do write about on Word Sharpening website.  I do so many searches on my own with things also besides when I hear a word from the Lord.  I love the word of God.  With the tools available to every person who is online or has a cell phone you can have a Bible at your fingertips.

I had finished writing on the other 2 blogs so just wanted to here mention the praise for rain and answered prayer.  God is so good.


Prayer of Jesus for us

This morning I worshiped then waited on the Lord which was how my day started.. I recorded that at Word for Today. I was not led to a particular gospel chapter so went to my favorite one where Christ prayed for us in. John 17, I prefer having both the written and also listening to the word, I love the dramatized Bible audio John 17.

As I mentioned on my other site, I went to the forum and there was a response back and forth with different scriptures. One of the men responded  had a revelation an epiphany, plus the Lord kind of expanded it further to me. I was going to post it here but the Lord wants different so I will do a special page or post and link it to my things when done with it. The title on the forum was something I was hoping for more knowledgeable men to be writing but the great post happened today. I will put the link to it within what I will write here as I asked for a reason and got little response to me. The title was "FOLLOW ME! signed Jesus what does that mean to you?"

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. Matthew 22:37 (KJV)

Prayer-Where To Start

If you are wondering how to start a prayer life or feel unsure of what to say, looking at the life of Jesus provides the perfect roadmap. Many believers ask, 'Where do I start with prayer?' The answer lies in the daily habits Jesus modeled—finding a solitary place, starting the day in conversation with the Father, and giving thanks in all circumstances. Whether you are a beginner or looking to refresh your spiritual walk, establishing a daily prayer habit doesn't have to be complicated. By following the example of Christ, we can learn to turn our minds into a 'prayer closet' and find peace in God's presence from morning until night.

 

 What did Jesus do?

God is Alpha and Omega (the beginning and the end). Once in scripture reading and hearing you will be led to do more, but for starters start your day with a prayer and the end of your day with prayer. We know the morning before His day he started with time with the Lord in prayer, but also for us it is a great time to listen to your chapter a day or whatever to start your day. I am a morning and all day person haha. I talk to Father in my mind during the day. My mind to me to the Lord is my "prayer closet" Matthew 6:6 (KJV) But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

So his alarm was set for a great while before started His day.... Mark 1:35 (KJV) And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.

We know He finished His day with prayer.... Matthew 14:23 (KJV) And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.

We know Jesus prayed at meals : Mark 6:41 (KJV) And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all.

We know Jesus Thanked Father out loud for things.....John 11:41 (KJV) Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. Matthew 11:25 (KJV) At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

What would I pray starting out?

I would start with short prayers to begin with and end the day with. I also would give thanks even just in my mind only saying out loud at home a blessing for food and thanking Father for it. Jesus did this stuff daily, I would try first just to get into a habit with something short. God knows your heart and hears your mind. My mom would thank the Lord and praise the Lord saying those 2 different things often out loud. I would do it too but did more saying it in my mind to Him. Do what is comfortable and believe me with time in following the Lord you see changes within yourself.

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. Matthew 22:37 (KJV)
