His Healing Hand

On Memorial Day, Monday, May 30, 2016 as my family and I were driving on I-10 West heading back to Houston, Texas I saw a billboard sign on the right that said "In despair? Jesus is our only hope" with a nail-scarred Hand of Lord Jesus Christ extended out to offer His Healing Hand.

When in trouble LORD JESUS CHRIST reaches out His HEALING HAND. Amen!

Some Interesting "Truths" When Reading The Book Of Ruth...

I just found it interesting that the Moabitess daughter in law of Naomi named "Orpah (KJV Ruth 1:4)" could be rearranged to spell "O-p-r-a-h": Oprah... Hmm...

Also, when I first saw Ruth's name during reading the Book of Ruth I also though the name "Ruth" could be arranged to spell "truth" but it turns out Ruth cannot be arranged to spell "truth" because another "t" is needed to spell out the word "truth" (that "t" is provided in the capital "T" of the TRUTH: Lord Jesus Christ!)

However "Ruth" and "truth" rhyme together and it only serves to be true that a godly woman such as Ruth had her faith carry on through the genealogy of her family line in the culmination of Christ...

Plus, Ruth's godly mother-in-law "Naomi" is not left out of the biological genealogy family line of Christ as well because if I'm not mistaken I remember hearing that women who routinely breastfeed a child can actually cause their DNA to be passed on into the genetic code of the nursing child...

Interesting that GOD allowed Naomi to be nurse to breastfeed Boaz and Ruth's newborn son Obed when he was but a young babe...

Hmm... Makes me think about the deeper effects of God's Actions...

If it's true that DNA from a breastfeeding woman can be passed down to a recipient nursing baby, that means that even Naomi's biological line was preserved in Obed and all the generations leading up to Christ...

You Are Who God Always Wanted You To Be

God created us EXACTLY the way He wanted us to be.

Think back to who you were as a "little child".

The natural behaviours, actions, interests and abilities you naturally-possessed in your childhood are the gifts God has given you to accomplish His Purpose for you in this earthly world and the world to come in His Eternal Kingdom.

As a child I was always an imaginative, creative "daydreamer" of vivid imagination and creativity. I could see visions of beautiful worlds and creations. I was also a "wanderer" and "traveler of the wilderness". I would go for long walks of exploration in the woods and outdoors.

I liked hiking, walking all around the land exploring... I liked the good outdoors. I remember sharpening the end of a stick with a knife to make my own "spear" to "go hunting" as a little kid even.

I loved making new friends, going on adventures, endlessly traveling but always being stable and returning home to familiar territory when I got tired.

I liked eating and trying out new things. I was an artist of life. I have a natural talent, passion and interest for writing of all literary works especially in storytelling and adventure.

Whatever your natural inclinations, the key as an adult is to find work that aligns to your own natural aptitude so you are most fulfilled and can make a living for yourself and family as you follow God's Will in your life.

I remember in my elementary and middle school years I would walk around a lot of my friends and fellow students like a "lil' preacher man' as my momma calls me and say something in my naïve and ignorant childhood days "You need to be SAVED!" and I would place my hands on top of my peers' heads and literally pray over them and although I was really being silly and maybe even acting "in vain" (I sincerely meant to pray for my peers) and I now realize I was unconsciously doing what the Lord would have always have me to in my life... Kind of like how the Lord predestined the great Old Testament prophet Samuel to be as he grew up in his early childhood... Now it's making sense.

You see, I always wondered about Jesus, God and the Bible with vague but "personable" curiosity in my childhood days because I "intellectually" understood Who He was but I never really understood HIM until my later teens when the Lord brought me into His Ministry at age 19. I just vaguely "wondered" about Who Jesus really was besides what they say on T.V. or what the movies portrayed of Him; but I never really sought the Lord in the Word because it was "too much reading" for my childhood mind to fathom, lol. I was always a 'lil' preacher man" since birth; my mom has the pictures showing me with the pose and temperament of a "lil' pastor" as a child. I always had "It" but I never understood "It" until the Lord lifted my veil as I got older; hint-by-hint... leading up to this point since after really "being busy for the Lord" since last year 2014 up to this point I'm actually on Google+, Facebook and Twitter... He's Leading...

The natural skills and abilities God has put inside you since before birth IS WHAT HE USES TO ACCOMPLISH HIS WILL FOR YOU IN LIFE.

We should all reexamine ourselves and lives from the origin of who we were as "children".

For there must be good reason why God Almighty, Lord Jesus Christ referred to us as "children" in the spirit. God knows who we were created to be and are in His Image even though we all have fallen short in sin and do not fully understand the spiritual "real world" around us when can't see in our natural eye. God knows us in eternity since before and after the world began. We only discover "glimpses" who God always knew us to be as we reflect over the course of our lives.

I pray the Lord gives you the Guidance you need in PRAYER and REFLECTION as you REALIZE who you are in the Body of Christ and can walk faithfully conquering life for Christ for His Glory and to help BUILD up HIS KINGDOM OF SOULS! God's Currency is measured in SOULS of people; not material. We must remember to REACH OUT to people with the GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST and the WORD OF GOD in these LAST DAYS!

DO or DIE!

This is IT!

After the Rapture it's all over what we "could have done for Jesus" and what's left is "what we did for Jesus" if anything.

I pray we are ALL faithful, soulwinning servants of the Lord who have won MANY souls over to the Lord before our departure from this world. Amen.

Life Lesson From The Lord From Picking Up Pecan Nuts With Family

Yesterday I was picking up some pecans with family and at first I had a "resistant spirit".

I planned to pick some up out in the yard by the abandoned house and property next door on "my own time".

The Holy Ghost convicted me of my "self-willed" spirit and I promptly joined everyone outside picking up fallen pecans from the pecan tree.

At first I thought this "lowly activity" was a "waste of time" of something I could do later on "my own time"; yet the Lord rebuked my high minded, self-willed spirit and I eventually "caught on" to what he was teaching me at that moment...

The lesson was "mind not 'high things' for wisdom is found in the lowliest of daily activities".

Indeed, as I learned and connected this experience to the Scripture in )(KJV) Proverbs about "gathering up the harvest while it is yet summer and being prepared for the summer". It was a proverbial "Aha!" epiphany moment.
