My Prayer
Psalm 139:1-4
“O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.”
Lord,
I shutter in fear and shame, when I realize You have seached me, and known me. That You know what I’ve done and what I will do.
You understand my most secret and sin-full thoughts, my doubts, my fears, my lusts, my anger, and my pain.
I cry. Knowing You love me, even while You know the worst of me.
I will never understand, Your mercy and grace. I am, at peace, in Your love.
I long to lead the lost to Your throne, that they should receive Your mercy and grace in their times of need.
I desire Your Holy Spirit to comfort the broken hearted and heal the hurting.
I long to Praise and Worship You, in Spirit and in truth,
Psalm 139:23-24
“Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.”
Lord,
Lead and guide me, protect me, from the wickedness that still lies within.
Clean my heart, renew my mind by the washing of Your Word. Return to me the joy of Thy Salvation, let not my slothful ways cause me to stray.
The path to the Holy of Holies, is the way I will walk.
I seek Your face, Your love fills my heart.
I tremble in fear, for I know Lord, You’re near.
Lord, hear my cry, supply all my needs.
My deepest desire, is to love you my King, my Lord, and Most High.
I would that my actions, my thoughts, and the words of my testimony, all please You.
Protect us O’ Lord from those who would flesse us, and cause us pain.
Amen
O my God, I trust in thee: The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station
Praying the Word of the Lord:
Psalm 25
King James Version (KJV)
“Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause. Shew me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths.
Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.
Remember, O Lord, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.
Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness’ sake, O Lord.
Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will he teach sinners in the way. The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. For thy name’s sake, O Lord, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.
What man is he that feareth the Lord? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose. His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant. Mine eyes are ever toward the Lord; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.
Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted. The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses.
Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins. Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.
O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee. Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.
Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.”
Lord, hear this my prayer. I look, trust and wait on You. Lord, remember Your words, forgive me, supply our needs. You are my Savior, Lord, Shepherd, Provider and my ever present help in times of trouble.
The time is now.

Lord, I hate to complain, but… – The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station
Lord,
You are my Savior, my Lord and Protector, my Shepherd, my Fortress, the Rock of my Salvation, my God, in You do I trust.
We have lived these past 21 years, by faith, and You have met all our needs, according to Your riches in Glory in Christ Jesus.
That was then,… and I thank You,… but this is NOW, today.
As my Shepherd, You have promised in Psalm 23, that: “I shall not want.” Now, I don’t want to contradict You,
but we are in want.
Your Word tells us in Genisis 22, that You are “Jehovah Jireh”, “the God who provides“.
Again Lord,
we are in need of Your provision.
Your Word tells us in Ephesians 3, You are “able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,”
Lord, I can, and do, ask, think and expect more….
we need more.
Lord, I hate to complain, but here it is.
} We are behind on bills we should be in front of.
} We need more work for me, or for You to open the door, of a new way to earn that which we need, for us to stay off the streets.
It is that simple, we need $- – – -.00 to get current. (He knows how much).
If you have read this far please pray with us that God will give us the desires of our hearts. Amen

Who am I, O Lord? – The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station
Have you ever had occasion, to ask the Lord: “Who am I?”
Moses asked that question when the Lord sent him to the Hebrews and Pharaoh. Moses tried to change the Lords mind by reminding Him who he was.
I am just a shepard Lord, I don’t speak well, I am nobody, why would they listen to me? I am not worthy, O Lord. Send someone else.

Are our hearts and ears open? – The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station
Deuteronomy 6:4-6
“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:”
The Lord is calling us: (We are Israel, today. His chosen.)
He has called us, to hear Him, To listen. To use our ears for more than a hat rack. To recognize and understand His voice. To do His will.
The Lord is telling us:
Open your hearts, receive His word, meditate, sing and pray His Word, His Commands, His Laws. Keep them in our hearts.
Love the Lord with all your heart. Become a love slave, yearn to learn of Him, to walk with Him, to do His work in His way, in His will and time.
Open our ears and hearts:
Only then will we receive the mercy, grace and knowledge to fulfill His will.
Proverbs: 18. 15.
“The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.”

Finding the perfect place: The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station
On most of the vehicles I have owned and driven, (45+ years worth), the heater adjustment has been a sliding lever, hot to the right and cold to the left.
They have all shared the same condition.
It is impossible to adjust to a comfotable temperature. It is either way too hot or chilling cool.
You carefully bring the lever to the that area, the place, where you know, it will be the perfect temperature. (The pleasant place, a place of rest, peace and comfort).
Suddenly, it no longer slides freely.
There is an area, a place on this sliding scale, (1/4″ long), that you have to muscle through.
It is impossible to put that lever in the spot you long to find. You drive forever, too hot, too cold, too hot, too cold.
There is no peace. No rest. No joy to be found. It is a fact. Accept it. It is impossible to reside in, to live in, that perfect place.
In my vehicles, that is my lot in life. Not so in Christ.
A lot of us, seem to have the same problem, in our Christian walk. Finding that perfect place, where we know God wants us, and will use us.
We long to reside in that place, but cannot find it. We are either too hot, (trying too hard), or too cold, (not trying at all). We do not understand how to muscle through to this perfect place. That is because it is a secret place.
Psalm 91:1-3
King James Version (KJV)
“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.”
We can live in the secret place by Departing from evil.
Psalm 34:14
“Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.”
Seeking the Lord:
Psalm 105:4
“Seek the Lord, and his strength: seek his face evermore.”
If we seek Him we will find Him:
Deuteronomy 4:29
“But if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.”
Quit seeking where you should be, what you should do, the things that you desire.
The secret of living in the secret place is:
Matthew 6:33
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
The secret of the secret place is:
The Lord will can use you, right where you are.
The Lord can use you, flaws and all.
The Lord loves us, even when we miss the mark.
Amen and Amen.
(My Dad and brothers work)
Seek the Lord.
James 1:8
“A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.”
James 4:8
“Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.”
So simple and impossible to do. Lord, please bring me to this place, where I seek only You.

A sweet savour to the Lord: The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station
What makes a sweet savour (smell, aroma), to the Lord? We find it mentioned 46 times in the Bible, most in the Old Testament. All concerning burnt offerings.
The first offering was spontaneously made by Cain and Able. (A freewill, giving back to the Lord). Long before the Priesthood, and formal offerings were implemented.
It is interesting to note:
There is no mention that it was a burnt offering.
Cain was the first to bring an offering, the fruit of the ground. Followed by Able, with a perfect lamb.
The Lord rejected Cains offering but excepted Ables.
Why?
I believe it was because Cain was proud of his accomplishments, the tilling, weeding, picking the best. (Because of him, it was a good crop).
Where Able brought a perfect lamb, without spot or blemish, acknowledging the Lords perfect work.
After this Cain killed Able and left the presence of the Lord. There was no sweet savour.

“And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.”

Somethings must be given up: The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station
When Moses decided to see what was going on with the burning bush, He received a direct order from God.
Exodus 3:4-6
King James Version (KJV)
“And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.
And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.

“That they may see, and know”
There is a reason the Lord hardened Pharaohs heart and did many signs, wonders and miracles.
There was a reason Jesus did so many signs, wonders snd miracles. It is the same reason He said we would do the same and more.

7 Spirits of God:
The Spiritual – As if the mystery of God wasn’t deep enough, (the Trinity), He had to add that there are seven Spirits of “God”. (The Deity or Trinity).
To further complicate our understanding the word “God” in the Old Testament is from the Hebrew, Elohim and means “Creator, Supreme Ruler”, “Adoni”, also means “Supreme Ruler” (used for God or a man who rules), and discribes The work and life of Jesus in the Old Testament.
In the New Testament the word “God” is from the Greek and means “Deity or Trinity”, and I believe discribes primarily the Father or Lord (Yahway or Jehovah) of the Old Testament, in the New.
Now the Father and Son and Spirit, are one, but with different Natures, Attributes and Characters, (explained in post, “Jesus in the Old Testament”).
the Lord preserved David: The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station
David defeated many Nations and the people became his servants. And:
“the Lord preserved David whithersoever he went.”
Why and how do I get to that place of preservation?
It is so simple….but incredibly hard for we humans.
We must:
first: deny ourselves-defeat, destroy our natural man.
second: submit ourselves to God, learn to love and obey Him.
third: learn to pray, praise, sing and dance to and for the Lord.
If you can do these simple things, you would be well on your way to preservation.
You would also be a better man than I.
I am naturally hard to get along with, impossible to correct and stubbornly stupid.
BUT, I LOVE THE LORD AND KEEP TRYING.

The Problem : The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station
The Problem:
Misunderstanding the directions received.
A couple of weeks ago I bought some pansy’s for my piano planter.
Red, white and almost blue.
I was very pleased. The lady told me they would flower all winter if I snapped off the dead flowers.
Wonderful. ..easy…flowers all winter….color. I am excited.
Now the problem.
Not knowing any better, I snapped off the buds before they flowered.
How dumb is that? You would think a grown man could see what hadn’t flowered from the flowers past.
Apparently not.
I don’t know if it was fatal but there is no color now.
I stopped the plants from flowering, meeting their potential. From becoming a pleasant gift to all who came within sight.
Our ignorance of God’s plan and promises causes us to snap the flowering life out of on fire, young believers.
Our unbelieving, belief in God is our down fall.
We don’t really believe the promises of God beyond Salvation.
Why? Because so few really dig into the Spiritual.
We educate ourselves physically, but never really exercise the Spiritual.
David was known as a man after Gods heart. Why?
Read the Psalms, David knew long before Jesus, how to enter the Holy of Holies.
He spent time in Praise and Prayers, a man who knew how to take responsibility for his errors.
He knew how to repent and return to God.
We need to spend time the same way, in Praise and Prayer.
Finding our way into the presence of God. Into the place of obedient peace, joy and power.
His Promises and Power are available to “whosoever” will seek His face.
“Whosoever will become a love slave.”
Those who truly give their all to the Lord.
Will you?

the things which we have seen and heard: The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station
“For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.” Acts 4:20
Peter and John in the Power of the Holy Spirit and in the Name of Jesus, had healed the lame man at the gate beautiful.
(Is anything to hard for Our God?)
“By the Name of Jesus”
5,000 were added to the church because of this miracle. Peter and John were commanded not to teach, preach or speak of Christ. Their answer:
“But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.”
Wouldn’t it be nice to see 5,000 added to the church at one time? Or experiencing: “the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.”
Most of our churches are seeing a decline in attendance….not an increase. Why?
Has the Name of Jesus become of none effect? We pray in Jesus Name, but few are touched. (Yes, we see some miracles, but anything note worthy)? Not really.
How dare I say this?
Look at the church, are any being added?
Do you see 5,000? What is the problem?
There are hundreds of verses in the Word that tell us Jesus and His Disciples healed all maner of sickness, it even states they healed all that were sick.
“We” tell folks not to bring their colds to church because others will be infected.
WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!!! .
1 Corinthians 12:28
“And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.”
Apostles, Prophets and Teachers we have plenty. It is relatively easy to study the Word and share. Especially if there is a spot light. (for some).
Even helps and governments are easy slots to fill….
1 Corinthians 12:30
“Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?”
NO, NONE, NOBODY…”THOSE THINGS PASSED AWAY WITH THE APOSTLES.”
Why do we have the others then…everything should have passed if some have.
No, this kind comes by prayer and fasting.
It’s easy to talk, harder to walk, in the Power of the Holy Spirit.
Too many say, “If God wants me to speak in tongues, interpret, or heal the sick, He will give me those gifts.”
HORSE FEATHERS!!!!!!!
You were saved because you asked Him to forgive you, to become Your Lord and Savior.
He doesn’t behave any differently with the Gifts of the Spirit. We must ask if we expect to receive.
We must be trust worthy if we expect Him to trust us with His Power. We are not.
We don’t press into the Holy of Holies. Seek Him and expect to receive the FAITH, to walk in His Grace.
When we fast and pray, do so just seeking more of Jesus in your life. More Jesus in your charactor, actions, thoughts, speech.
We must become more like Jesus, crucify our old, (natural), man and let Jesus lead, guide and direct our lives.
At one point in my walk, I failed the trust worthy test. I am determined to earn back that trust.
Lord, let this old, broken down Holy Spirit dispenser, fulfill Your promise to Your church.
I will become a man the Lord can use in this world today as He used the Disciples in days if old.
Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever. Amen
