This Way or That Way

Good day my friends.
I was sitting looking around my living room yesterday morning thinking of which way I should be directing my energies....this way or that, this way or that....over and over again.(driving myself mad I was), when I was reminded of a dream (a life lesson) I had had about a year ago...I thought it was very useful and decided to share it with you... :0)

I dreament that I was like Daniel and was in a lions den, I knew that God would save me from the lions so I started to find the way out.
I began running around the perimeter of the cave, around and around looking for the opening, when the Lord told me to stop and stand in the middle.
When I did that He said, there is the way out. I was running past it over and over again.
I needed to stand still, and allow God to tell me where the way out was, where the open door was. And it was just steps from where I was standing.

I have been once again, running around the cave again looking for the answer, waisting energy and time. I need to stand and be still and let God tell me where I should go.

Well friends I hope this Tid-Bit is helpful to someone....

Psalm 46:1

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A Song for Alamoth.

God [is] our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.

Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; [Though] its waters roar [and] be troubled, [Though] the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah

[There is] a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, The holy [place] of the tabernacle of the Most High. God [is] in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God shall help her, just at the break of dawn. The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved; He uttered His voice, the earth melted. The LORD of hosts [is] with us; The God of Jacob [is] our refuge. Selah

Come; behold the works of the LORD, Who has made desolations in the earth.
He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two; He burns the chariot in the fire. Be still, and know that I [am] God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! The LORD of hosts [is] with us; The God of Jacob [is] our refuge. Selah

Is this for real...????? What next????
I'm not sure about anyone else, but I find that NUTS.
So if someone has the trademark, service mark or logo that says; "God is Good", are we not supposed to use that.
It's not like I am setting up shop with his business name, I just made a post....was sharing with people what God had done for me.

If Polly from "Counting Your Blessings" decides to trademark the name, does that mean we can never post with the title, Counting Your Blessings????

Ah, it's nuts......(and that's putting it politely)

Does anyone else think this is nuts?

Seriously.... ahhhhh!!!! Can you tell I am annoyed.

Be careful what you post, someone might come along and tell you, that's my name don't use it....

I'd better stop now, I can feel I am beginning to get petty.... don't what that.

Our Passover Lamb

Oh how I do tend to go on.... and.... on :0)

This year I believe I have a suggestion for an alternative to the world's easter (Easter was originally a pagan festival celebrated in the spring time.)and our remembering the day that our Saviour died for us.

I was mulling over the thought a while back about "communion" and how it has become a regular ritual in so many churches today...ours it is the 2nd Sunday of the month...we all gather at the front of the building each with tiny wee glass of grape juice and a carefully cut piece of bread in our hands. Someone reads the scripture relating to the service, and then we all together "partake of the elements"......

I wonder why we don't remember to do what (I believe) Christ told us to do????

When we gather for the Resurrection Celebration (better then the word easter )
I (personally) think that we should (could) be remembering the sacrifice our "PASSOVER LAMB" made for us at the time of the Passover Feast.
Why not during our family dinner have a time of breaking bread and taking of wine (or grape juice)....why not remember Him, as He asked His disciples to do....

I believe (my thoughts) that when Luke writes, 'and He took bread, gave thanks and broke [it], and gave [it] to them, saying, "This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me."
He was referring to when they gather for Passover in the future (Christ knew they were Jewish and would continue participating in the feasts)..... remember that He went on to be our Passover Lamb....remember the significance of it all, He fulfilled the Passover Feast.

If we are going to take communion ritually once a month, at least remember to do it on the day in which it was first done..... Passover in the Upper Room.

And when our children and grandchildren ask us why are we doing this? We can answer, "we are remembering that Christ became our Passover Lamb, that He made the ultimate sacrifice so that we could be in relationship with Him....that is how much He loves each one of us"

Exd 12:26-27
And it shall be, when your children say to you, 'What do you mean by this service?'

that you shall say,

'It [is] the Passover sacrifice of the LORD, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt when He struck the Egyptians and delivered our households.' " So the people bowed their heads and worshiped

and He says that when the children ask, why they are doing this thing they can answer with what God had done for them.

Mark 14:12-24

Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they killed the Passover [lamb], His disciples said to Him, "Where do You want us to go and prepare, that You may eat the Passover?" And He sent out two of His disciples and said to them, "Go into the city, and a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him.
Wherever he goes in, say to the master of the house, 'The Teacher says, "Where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?" '
Then he will show you a large upper room, furnished [and] prepared; there make ready for us."

So His disciples went out, and came into the city, and found it just as He had said to them; and they prepared the Passover. In the evening He came with the twelve.
Now as they sat and ate, Jesus said, "Assuredly, I say to you, one of you who eats with Me will betray Me." And they began to be sorrowful, and to say to Him one by one, "[Is] it I?" And another [said], "[Is] it I?" He answered and said to them, "[It is] one of the twelve, who dips with Me in the dish. The Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had never been born."
And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it and gave it to them and said, "Take, eat; this is My body."

And He said to them, "This is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many.

Luke 22:19-20

And He took bread, gave thanks and broke [it], and gave [it] to them, saying, "This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me

Likewise He also [took] the cup after supper, saying, "This cup [is] the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.

More Snow

Who would of thought???
April 6th and it is a snow day.... go figure.

Oh well, it can't last to long....ALTHOUGH, the forcast says snow for the rest of the week....
Maybe you should move to Ontario Bobbie-Jo???? LOL

No more prescriptions

I have been thinking lately (shocker) about church, prayers, healing and such.
Week after week people ask for prayer for certain people or certain physical problems (usually same people, same prayer).
Now our church seems to operate a wee bit different then others I have been to; we have a coffee break in the middle....I used to feel it was good, but now.... not so much.
Just before our "coffee break" we have testimony and prayer time, so we regularly hear the progress of those around us.

Well here is my thought.....
Say there was this guy who had terrible stomach pains, he has had them for several days now. Finally by the convensing of others he goes to a doctor.
He sits down in the office, has a brief chance to explain his symptoms and is then prescribed ocycet (spelling optional LOL).
He leaves the office thinking, what the heck.....how is that going to help.....they are only going to deal with the pain perhaps.
That doctor didn't do any tests, didn't even feel his stomach didn't even lay a hand on him.... how would he know what was wrong with him.

That is kind of how I feel that prayer within the body has become.(please do not hear me saying that we should not pray for people, or that if you can't ask questions you should pray..... I'm just saying I have a thought...o.k.)

This fella was having severe stomach pains because he was so constipated. He did not heed the advice of others and watch his dairy intake, he thought they were silly.... after all they were not doctors.
So he is prescribed something that in fact would only add to his pain.... it would have an illusion of relief but ocycet would only further his constipation.

We need ( I believe) to be asking more questions, finding out what has gone on in someones history.... is there a reason for this on-going problem.

I know of a man who is his teens, rebelled....followed the life of alcohol, and it caused him the use of his legs.... because of his actions he was involved in an accident that left him seriously crippled.
He has requested prayer, his wife has requested prayer.... and hardly a change....so, what's up. One person in particular has prayed for him and has both times told the enemy to leave him, he has no rights to him..... and I thought, maybe he does....maybe in his youthful rebellion he made choices that opened some doors giving the enemy rights.... (I did go and share this with the man....who received it well I believe....I shared that I thought he needed to -with Holy Spirit's guidance- find out what doors were opened and close them shut, sealing them in the blood of Jesus)....I'm not sure if he has done that or not.

I know of two other people (Christians) who were suffering with bad backs, both at the same time.....so again one of them requested prayer.... a prescription prayer was prayed, and nothing......it dawned on me that these to people had something in common..... they were both guilty of not standing up for something, they did not use their back-bones and say hey, I think this is wrong and I am not participating in it.....So I shared with them as well my thought that they needed to ask the Father's forgiveness for not using their back-bones, and to ask God to bring healing and restoration into those parts of their lives.... which they both did..... I think there backs are better.

Why did I share all this with you today..... I don't know, perhaps simply because I was thinking of it again this morning, and I wanted to share.

How Great Is Our God

A couple of times now I have woken up with this song on my heart. The words that ring loudest and constant are; God head three in one..... and then the chours follows.... "How Great is Our God". ( I don't even think that they are both the same song...LOL)

I am not sure of the signifigance of this, I have tried to compare it to what was going on in my life right now.... and I cannot compare anything in my life to "the God head, three in one".....
Hmmm, maybe that is part of it.... it is.....
there is nothing that can even come close to the power of The God Head, Three in One.....
so How Great is Our God?????
He is GREAT!!!!!!
