Grieve not – The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station

GRIEVE NOT :

That’s really a pretty silly demand,  you can hardly tell someone not to grieve the death of a loved one, or when  seeing someone who had promise, fall away into sin or rebellion. 

It hurts us in  the center of our being. It makes us sorry, sad, disappointed or grieved.

We do have the power to stop the Lord from being grieved though.

Bring Joy to God – The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station bill

The secret to putting a smile on Gods face:

image

My wife revealed it to me this morning.   She lamented that she hadn’t spoken on the phone with Celeste,  our daughter  for 2 or 3 days.

That caused me to think of the joy I receive when  she calls me to say Hi, how are you, I love you.

I  am sure God receives joy when we just call on Him to tell Him we love Him, to thank Him for His many blessings. (When we aren’t asking or complaining ).

That’s it, tell Him you love Him, Thank Him.  Praise and Worship. …THAT WILL MAKE GOD SMILE.

Is Fasting the answer? – The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station

My wife told me this AM that I  am reverting to my heritage.   Negative City.  I get it honestly, I don’t think my Mother ever ate a meal out, that was perfect.

The meat, tough, under or over cooked, or the vegetables raw, hard or soggy,  tea too sweet, ect….

Unfortunately, I tend to be a lot like that, not about food but people who have the nerve to disagree with my enlightened views.

So to remedy the problem,  I need to get back into the Word, Fast and Pray.  Expecting the Lord to honor His Word, putting His Yoke on and walking with Him.

So yes, Fasting is a big part of the answer.   I will humble myself  and pray, waiting for His guidince, direction and protection.   Knowing He hears our plea.

Lord, draw me close to You, thank You that in  the Holy  of Holies I will receive Grace and Mercy in my times of need.

after their own lust: The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station

What is lust?  Is it only lust at first sight?  Or is it a deeper,  more serious problem, something we don’t grow out of?

1 John 2:16
King James Version (KJV)
“For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.”

When any of our desires become larger than our desire for the Lord, we find ourselves in trouble.  I find myself desiring a pulpit, a following, as I do the mighty work of God.

So I gave them up: The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station

Psalm: 81. 12. “So I gave them up unto their own hearts’ lust: and they walked in their own counsels.”

Is this what is happening in our Churches in America? Once  build on a Godly foundation.  The Lord is giving us up, to our hearts’ lust, as we  walk in our own, rather than Godly counsel or wisdom.

like a flood – The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station

Isaiah 59:18
” So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.”

How do you read this verse?   In the KJV it reads:
   ” the enemy shall come in like a flood, “

The enemy is overwhelming, defeating, drowning us. 

We are overpowered, then the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.
