"Without Him"

(Mylon R. Lefevre)

Without Him I could do nothing
Without Him I'd surely fail
Without Him I would be drifting
Like a ship without a sail

Without Him I would be dying
Without Him I'd be enslaved
Without Him life would be worthless
But with Jesus thank God I'm saved

Oh Jesus, oh Jesus
Do you know Him today
Please don't turn Him away
Oh Jesus, my Jesus
Without Him how lost I would be
Without Him how lost I would be

^{Psalm 34 [CEV]
5} Keep your eyes on the Lord!
You will shine like the sun
    and never blush with shame.
⁶ I was a nobody, but I prayed,
    and the Lord saved me
    from all my troubles.

⁷ If you honor the Lord,
    his angel will protect you.
⁸ Discover for yourself
    that the Lord is kind.
    Come to him for protection,
    and you will be glad.

⁹ Honor the Lord!
    You are his special people.
    No one who honors the Lord
    will ever be in need.
¹⁰ Young lions^[a] may go hungry
    or even starve,
but if you trust the Lord,
    you will never miss out
    on anything good.

¹¹ Come, my children, listen
    as I teach you
    to respect the Lord.
¹² Do you want to live
    and enjoy a long life?
¹³ Then don’t say cruel things
    and don’t tell lies.
¹⁴     Do good instead of evil
    and try to live at peace.

¹⁵ If you obey the Lord,
he will watch over you
    and answer your prayers.
¹⁶ But God despises evil people,
    and he will wipe them all
from the earth,
    till they are forgotten.
¹⁷ When his people pray for help,
    he listens and rescues them
    from their troubles.
¹⁸ The Lord is there to rescue
all
    who are discouraged
    and have given up hope.

¹⁹ The Lord’s people
    may suffer a lot,
    but he will always
    bring them safely through.

Romans 13(NLT)

Respect for Authority

13 Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God. ² So anyone who rebels against authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and they will be punished. ³ For the authorities do not strike fear in people who are doing right, but in those who are doing wrong. Would you like to live without fear of the authorities? Do what is right, and they will honor you. ⁴ The authorities are God’s servants, sent for your good. But if you are doing wrong, of course you should be afraid, for they have the power to punish you. They are God’s servants, sent for the very purpose of punishing those who do what is wrong. ⁵ So you must submit to them, not only to avoid punishment, but also to keep a clear conscience.

⁶ Pay your taxes, too, for these same reasons. For government workers need to be paid. They are serving God in what they do. ⁷ Give to everyone what you owe them: Pay your taxes and government fees to those who collect them, and give respect and honor to those who are in authority.

Love Fulfills God’s Requirements

⁸ Owe nothing to anyone—except for your obligation to love one another. If you love your neighbor, you will fulfill the requirements of God’s law. ⁹ For the commandments say, “You must not commit adultery. You must not murder. You must not steal. You must not covet.”^[a] These—and other such commandments—are summed up in this one commandment: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”^{[b] 10} Love does no wrong to others, so love fulfills the requirements of God’s law.

¹¹ This is all the more urgent, for you know how late it is; time is running out. Wake up, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. ¹² The night is almost gone; the day of salvation will soon be here. So remove your dark deeds like dirty clothes, and put on the shining armor of right living. ¹³ Because we belong to the day, we must live decent lives for all to see. Don’t participate in the darkness of wild parties and drunkenness, or in sexual promiscuity and immoral living, or in quarreling and jealousy. ¹⁴ Instead, clothe yourself with the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. And don’t let yourself think about ways to indulge your evil desires.

2 Samuel 22:2-3; 2 Samuel 22:33 (New Living Translation)

• 2 Samuel 22:2-3

2 These are the words he sang: "The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; 3 my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the strength of my salvation, and my stronghold, my high tower, my savior, the one who saves me from violence.

2 Samuel 22:33

33 God is my strong fortress; he has made my way safe.

Ac 14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.

---

It is the office of the ministers, not only to teach, but also to confirm those that are taught, and prepare them for the cross. (Geneva Bible Commentary)

We know that Paul was a persecuter of the church and a murderer. He deserved nothing but hell. When his free will was taking him directly to hell, God interfered and saved Paul and Paul was saved by grace alone. We too fall into the same category, we too were on the way to hell, as our free will is to sin against the Lord, then one day God regenerated us and saved us by grace alone.  Now we are soldier for Christ.  A soldier does not creep into a corner and live idly, if he does the enemy will kill him.  Soldiers life is not a comfortable life as they have to adopt to all situations because they are in a war.

Here we see how Paul and Barnabas returning to the churches which they have taught before.  Why did they return? The word of God is not only instructions to the believer but also confirmation of their faith.  The word confirm here is to strengthen and establish.  Those that are converted need to be confirmed in their faith. They will go through hardships and trials in Christ. Whatever planted need to be rooted.  The goal of the pastors is to awaken the sinners and to establish them to hold strongly to the faith.  Paul and Barnabas returned on this in mind. 

They exhorted them to continue in the faith.  The word exhort means to encourage, advise, and to warn.  Paul said, that we must go through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.  It means the Christian must go through much affliction, much anguish, much trouble, much hardship, much burden, much pressure to enter to the kingdom of God.  This was their advise to the church.

How many kinds of afflictions are there? There are two kinds of afflictions. 1. Eternal. 2. Temporal. The eternal is for the wicked, for the disobedient, the torments of body and soul. This is an everlasting torment in hell, in the lake of fire, unquenchable fire, it is like a worm that dieth not, everlasting death as the torments will be everlasting, they experience dying, always dying, but never be dead, always to die and never to be dead. The scriptures say, “Their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched.” (Mark 9:46-48) What is the reason for this punishment? Or is it necessary for this kind of punishment? Yes, the reason is that they have committed sin against God who is infinitely good, and he demands an infinite punishment and satisfaction, God’s justice have to be satisfied.

All the others are temporal afflictions. There are temporal afflictions for the godly and ungodly, as even the ungodly experience afflictions of sickness, poverty, wars and other miseries of life. In reference to our subject when Paul said, “we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.” He is referring to the afflictions where the godly will endure on carrying the cross.  I personally see there are four kinds of afflictions for the godly on carrying the cross.

 Mr 8:34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

 35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.

 36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

 37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

 38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

 

THE LOVIN' SPOONFUL- "DID YOU EVER HAVE TO MAKE UP YOUR MIND"

Psalm 27:1-14 (English Standard Version)

   1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? 2 When evildoers assail me to eat up my flesh, my adversaries and foes, it is they who stumble and fall. 3 Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, yet I will be confident. 4 One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to inquire in his temple. 5 For he will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble; he will conceal me under the cover of his tent; he will lift me high upon a rock. 6 And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me, and I will offer in his tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and make melody to the LORD. 7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry aloud; be gracious to me and answer me! 8 You have said, "Seek my face." My heart says to you, "Your face, LORD, do I seek.

Psalm 94:22 But the Lord has become my stronghold, and my God the rock of my refuge.

Psalm 18:2 The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

Psalm 59:9 O my Strength, I will watch for you, for you, O God, are my fortress.

Isaiah 33:16 he will dwell on the  heights; his place of defense will be the fortresses of rocks; his bread will be given him; his water will be sure.

Psalm 59:9 O my Strength, I watch for you; you, O God, are my fortress,

Psalm 62:6 He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken.

Psalm 62:2 He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken.

Psalm 59:16-17 But I will sing of your strength; I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning. For you have been to me a fortress and a refuge in the day of my distress. O my Strength, I will sing praises to you, for you, O God, are my fortress, the God who shows me steadfast love.

Of David. The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When evildoers assail me to eat up my flesh, my adversaries and foes, it is they who stumble and fall. Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, yet I will be confident.

Psalm 9:9 The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.

REM - Everybody Hurts Lyrics

See Isaiah 63:9 ; John 20:28 ! & Song of Solomon 8:5[NLT]

At first there were but twelve who, In the Upper Room, Sat down with Jesus at the Paschal Feast.

 But now we come in myriads To sup with our Beloved— So greatly has His “little flock” increased!

   Once more He lifts the Cup Vintage red and bittersweet, And we hear Him say, “This is My Blood,” again.

 Then we in turn receive it With thanksgiving, as did they. That we may taste His passion and His pain.  

 And when He breaks the Bread And speaks the Holy Words

That bless it and transform it to our need; 

Again Christ stands revealed— ALIVE forever more! As the Bread becomes His Body indeed!

James Maloney (2011-11-01). Ladies of Gold: The Remarkable Ministry of the Golden Candlestick, Volume One (p. 281). WestBowPress. Kindle Edition.

Was struck by finding Isaiah 3:13-15 (NLT)

¹³ The Lord takes his place in court
    and presents his case against his people!
¹⁴ The Lord comes forward to pronounce judgment
    on the elders and rulers of his people:
“You have ruined Israel, my vineyard.
    Your houses are filled with things stolen from the poor.
¹⁵ How dare you crush my people,
    grinding the faces of the poor into the dust?”
    demands the Lord, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.

on the morning after learning of the third leader in 3 yrs dismissed from the Vineyard. On a positive note also am encouraged by the latest '22' thread:

Psalm 94:22 [NLT]...Psalm 94:22

²² But the Lord is my fortress;
    my God is the mighty rock where I hide.

Hebrews 12:1-3 (NLT)

God’s Discipline Proves His Love

12 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. ² We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith.^[a] Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne. ³ Think of all the hostility he endured from sinful people; then you won’t become weary and give up.

1. Hebrews 12:2 Or Jesus, the originator and perfecter of our faith.
2. Hebrews 12:3 Some manuscripts read Think of how people hurt themselves by opposing him.

John 20:27-29 (New Living Translation)

²⁷ Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and look at my hands. Put your hand into the wound in my side. Don’t be faithless any longer. Believe!”
²⁸ “My Lord and my God!” Thomas exclaimed.
²⁹ Then Jesus told him, “You believe because you have seen me. Blessed are those who believe without seeing me.”

    He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.”

  Greek and Syriac versions read 'He will renew you with his love'.

Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
    Nor stands in the path of sinners,
    Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
² But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
    And in His law he meditates day and night.

    Planted by the rivers of water,
    That brings forth its fruit in its season,
    Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.

Psalm 37:4
Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you your heart’s desires.

111 Your laws are my treasure; they are my heart’s delight.

174  O LORD, I have longed for your rescue, and your instructions are my delight.

Psalm 147:10-12 (NLT) 

¹⁰ He takes no pleasure in the strength of a horse or in human might.¹¹ No, the Lord’s delight is in those who fear him,those who put their hope in his unfailing love. ¹² Glorify the Lord, O Jerusalem!Praise your God, O Zion!

Isaiah 62:3-5 (NLT) 

³ The Lord will hold you in his hand for all to see—

    a splendid crown in the hand of God.
⁴ Never again will you be called “The Forsaken City”
    or “The Desolate Land.”
Your new name will be “The City of God’s Delight”
    and “The Bride of God,”
for the Lord delights in you
    and will claim you as his bride.
⁵ Your children will commit themselves to you, O Jerusalem,
    just as a young man commits himself to his bride.
Then God will rejoice over you
    as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride.

 

 

"Because God's nature is infinite, everything that flows out of it is infinite also. We poor human creatures are constantly being frustrated by limitations...the days of our lives are few, and swifter than a weaver's shuttle. Life is a short and fevered rehearsal for a concert we cannot stay to give. Just when we appear to have attained some proficiency we are forced to lay our instruments down."
A. W. Tozer, 'The Knowledge Of The Holy'

 Mother Teresa : "I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world."

Creation cost God nothing. He spoke and there it was. But our salvation cost God everything, His only Son. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son..."

Reinhard Bonnke - Official Page
The impossible happens when God is around. It is His hallmark. Creation itself began when He passed by. Job speaks of the universe as ‘but the outer fringe of His works, or ‘the skirts of His ways’ like a track left by walking on the wet grass. It was the same with Jesus. You could tell when He had passed through a Jewish village. There were no sick people left! That is Jesus! A Jesus who can structure nature as He wills is more than a miracle worker – much, much more... He’s alive and passing through your town today. God bless you. REINHARD BONNKE

Consciousness is not merely a matter of molecules, neurons, and electric charges. In fact, it is consciousness that may be the basis for reality, and therefore of all things. What does it mean to be a "conscious" being. What is consciousness? Where does it come from? It is a gift from God, which along with emotions like love, ties together all life and all things and gives substance and fabric to being. Life and love are eternal, as are we. Perhaps this was best understood by the poet Alexander Pope centuries ago. Following are excerpts from Pope's Essay on Man, which discusses our relationship with God.

But all subsists by elemental strife;
And passions are the elements of life.
The general order, since the whole began,
Is kept in nature, and is kept in man.
...
Far as Creation's ample range extends,
The scale of sensual, mental powers ascends;
....
See, through this air, this ocean, and this earth,
All matter quick, and bursting into birth.
Above, how high, progressive life may go!
Around, how wide! How deep extend below?
...
All are but parts of one stupendous whole,
Whose body Nature is, and God the soul;
...
Love, hope, and joy, fair pleasure's smiling train,
Hate, fear, and grief, the family of pain,
These mixed with art, and due bounds confined,
Make and maintain the balance of the mind;
The lights and shades, whose well-accorded strife
Gives all the strength and colour of our life.
...
Look `round our world; behold the chain of love
Combining all below and all above.

Daily "Thread" for today: [Note the '22' component of this passage]

Acts 20:32  (NLT) “And now I entrust you to God and the message of his grace that is able to build you up and give you an inheritance with all those he has set apart for himself.

Acts 20:32  (The Message)  “Now I’m turning you over to God, our marvelous God whose gracious Word can make you into what he wants you to be and give you everything you could possibly need in this community of holy friends.

 

A good verse for parents as their kids grow up and go out on their own-for them and us--though Paul the apostle was applying to people he expected not to see again in this life.

 

Walking On Water The Lord is calling us out of the natural realm into the supernatural realm. In the book of Matthew, Jesus came to His disciples walking on the water as they were in a boat. When they first seen Him they were in fear thinking that He was a ghost. But then faith rose up in Peter and he said, Lord if it is You, bid me to come to You, walking on the water. Jesus said, come. Peter began to walk on the water until he put his focus on the raging wind and waves. He then sank calling on Jesus to save him. The Lord says, I am calling My people to step out of the boat of the natural, into the realm of the supernatural. I am looking for those who are not afraid to step out of the place of complacency. I am looking for those who desire to go to a new level, and are not swayed by the havoc that the enemy is trying to bring. They are those who are not afraid of the winds and the waves of adversity but are trusting in Me for provision no matter what their circumstances are. Don't be moved by rising currents that try to pull you in the opposite direction of My will, but be determined to overcome all obstacles that come against you. Trust Me in this season as My glory is about to be revealed in your life. I am calling you out of your comfort zone into a place of intimacy. The way into the supernatural realm begins with an intimate relationship with Me. It begins by spending time with Me. It begins by spending time in My word. As you read the bible, rejoice knowing that I will watch over My word to perform it, and My plans and purposes will come to pass in your life as My word will not return void but accomplish what it says it will. Just as I reached out my hand to save Peter as he attempted to walk on water, I am also reaching My hand out to you to lead you into a journey of the supernatural realm. Trust Me to walk you into this lifestyle of faith. Trust Me to meet all your needs. Trust Me as you begin to step out against your natural thinking because that very thing that you are battling will be your greatest testimony. Do not give in to fear and doubt. I am your healer, I Am your deliverer, I Am the God of your destiny.  Resist the temptation to give in to the flesh. I Am with you as you step out of the boat. I Am the God of the supernatural and I am challenging you to come up higher. I am looking for those who are not afraid to step out into new levels of My glory and as you do, I will surely show Myself strong on your behalf says the Lord. Matthew 14: 25 - 32 Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea. And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, "It is a ghost!" And they cried out for fear. But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, "Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid." And Peter answered Him and said, "Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water." So He said, "Come." And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, "Lord, save me!" And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?" And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased. Then those who were in the boat came and worshiped Him, saying, "Truly You are the Son of God." Luke 8:23-25 Now it happened, on a certain day, that He got into a boat with His disciples. And He said to them, "Let us cross over to the other side of the lake." And they launched out. But as they sailed He fell asleep. And a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were filling with water, and were in jeopardy. And they came to Him and awoke Him, saying, "Master, Master, we are perishing!" Then He arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water. And they ceased, and there was a calm. But He said to them, "Where is your faith?" And they were afraid, and marveled, saying to one another, "Who can this be? For He commands even the winds and water, and they obey Him!" John 14:12 Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.

Kari Jobe - Teaching on Worship

Ephesians 5

Living in the Light

Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children. ² Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us^[a] and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God.

³ Let there be no sexual immorality, impurity, or greed among you. Such sins have no place among God’s people. ⁴ Obscene stories, foolish talk, and coarse jokes—these are not for you. Instead, let there be thankfulness to God. ⁵ You can be sure that no immoral, impure, or greedy person will inherit the Kingdom of Christ and of God. For a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world.
⁶ Don’t be fooled by those who try to excuse these sins, for the anger of God will fall on all who disobey him. ⁷ Don’t participate in the things these people do. ⁸ For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light! ⁹ For this light within you produces only what is good and right and true.
¹⁰ Carefully determine what pleases the Lord. ¹¹ Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, expose them. ¹² It is shameful even to talk about the things that ungodly people do in secret. ¹³ But their evil intentions will be exposed when the light shines on them, ¹⁴ for the light makes everything visible. This is why it is said,

“Awake, O sleeper,
    rise up from the dead,
    and Christ will give you light.”

Living by the Spirit’s Power

¹⁵ So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise. ¹⁶ Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days. ¹⁷ Don’t act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants you to do. ¹⁸ Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit, ¹⁹ singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, and making music to the Lord in your hearts. ²⁰ And give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Acts 14

Paul and Barnabas Return to Antioch of Syria

²¹ After preaching the Good News in Derbe and making many disciples, Paul and Barnabas returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch of Pisidia,

 ²² where they strengthened the believers. They encouraged them to continue in the faith, reminding them that we must suffer many hardships to enter the Kingdom of God. ²³ Paul and Barnabas also appointed elders in every church. With prayer and fasting, they turned the elders over to the care of the Lord, in whom they had put their trust.

²⁴ Then they traveled back through Pisidia to Pamphylia. ²⁵ They preached the word in Perga, then went down to Attalia.

²⁶ Finally, they returned by ship to Antioch of Syria, where their journey had begun. The believers there had entrusted them to the grace of God to do the work they had now completed. ²⁷ Upon arriving in Antioch, they called the church together and reported everything God had done through them and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles, too. ²⁸ And they stayed there with the believers for a long time
