Confession is good for the soul. Confessing to personal
uncleanness,admit our best deeds are as filthy rags.
Listen up,we are as fading leaves driven away by the wind of our own iniquities. Isaiah chapter 64. There is spiritual deadness in America as in Israel at this particular time in history.Notice there are no intercessors to be found. Why? Because the Lord has abandoned them to the consequences of thier sins. Listen, could it be God has turned from us because of our overwhelming Sin? Yep just like in this story, there may be some redemption because the Lord is our Father. In this story there is a remnant of Gods people in Israel, left over since the day of severe punishment Could there be a remnant left of Christians of old. Children or granchildren of previous Godly founders just waiting for God to make a move?
Still hope the potter will do something with the clay. So we must plead with God to relax His anger. To forget and forgive our sins,and acknowledge us as still being His people.We are afflicted, a powerless church. All talk and no testing. Having a form of godliness yet denying Gods power.In verses 10-12 we see Israel was devastated, especially Jerusalem and the temple. According to the scripture these are good reasons for God to release his anger and act decisively in behalf of his afflicted people. The sins of our nation or probably even worse than Israel's were. A nation like ours passing laws to kill unborn babies yet support the so-called rights of same-sex relationships and marriages. The Bible teaches that these things are an Abomination to God. Yet America keeps doing them while the eyes of the world look upon us. Even some pretending Christians go along with these laws and believe they're correct. How can that be? How can you read God's word and come to that conclusion? The sin against marriage. The marriage between a man and a woman clearly laid out in the Book of Genesis. Marriage that was instituted before the fall of Man. God considers it to be sacred and we are not 2 go back on our vows made between Him,man,and women.There are obviously Sins that God will judge right here on Earth in our lifetime. By defiling the marriage bed between a husband and a wife, we bring into that bed fornication and of course adultery. The book of Hebrews chapter 13 clearly states that the adulterer and the fornicator God will judge. Look at our nation 1 out of every two marriages end in divorce. What do most of these people do? I tell you they get another mate. They commit fornication with him or her then they claim to be in love with them and then they marry them. Furthermore if one of the persons in the relationship does not wish to be out of the relationship, if that person down the road gets another bedmate, then the mate that did not wish to be divorced is forced to commit adultery as well I tell you from experience that that's the way it occurs. If there were children involved then everyone's life becomes soupy. I also tell you that that God says we all shall be judged. Right here in our lifetime. Ex husband's ex wives children involved on both sides, marriage remarriage, what a mess. And no it does not run smoothly. Yet couples tend to continue to believe their way is correct and God's way if there is a God they say , is wrong. Let me tell you the pain coming from this type of living never leaves you. Millions lie in their beds at night with their new lovers but go to bed thinking about their previous mate. Where are they , who are they with ,wonder how they're doing? Now you know I'm telling the truth it's a hard truth. But I've also lived that experience. I've had previous mates married or not married contact me 30 to 40 years or longer later expressing horrible remorse for what they did 40 45 years earlier. Panting
Hinting heavily of the desire for me to return. Oh my goodness, which makes me think of the old saying quote Oh what a tangled web we weave when at first we practice to deceive. If anyone reading this has a new lover ,they have an abandoned a mate that they were married to, then repent and go home if that is possible. If you have not entangled yourself in a new marriage. Release your torture of your own heart and brain. Then the Lord will see your repentance and you turn to him and he will make your marriage strong and he will bless you and turn his back on his own wrath. Then in America if enough people do this we will see God's blessing back on this nation. And his protection just like an Isaiah chapter 64. if you look further on,you see where God pleads tirelessly with a people who give themselves over to abominable things associated with idolatry and hedonism. When we live a holier-than-thou ,we know better than God life concerning these matters . they are a continual irritation to the most high. The Bible teaches us that he will repay them for all their idolatry and sin. He did this to Israel and Isaiah's day and I promise you he will do that now. Please run from your misery while you can. Stop defying our Holy God. I pray for all those in this state of mind at this time. That you will repent and spare yourselves this agony. Do not listen to any others wether family or friend.
Your family or friends are complicit in this crime against Gods holy dictates. He's not trying to show meanness he just knows how he made us and he knows what is best for us. Love you all. Think me not to be a judge. It should be clear in this scripture and in
other scriptures in the Holy Bible, that it is God almighty that is and will be the judge. God bless you.

He was stripped naked,spit on,smote Him on the head with a reed,He was mocked,whipped with a cat of nine tails, then led away to be crucified.Think you have problems? Yes you do, and this same Christ knows them and He's on your side.Scripture on the crucifixion are Matthew chapter 27:27 -31.
He is the good shepherd .John 10:11. This is a short blog this morning, but with God's help i will return. JESUS SAID" I am the light of this world,he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness,but shall have the light of life. ( John chapter 8:12 ).Let me add a footnote, Many people cause their own problems by trying to hurt someone. Stop it. God is not supportive of spiteful, hurting situations. Pray my friend pray. Do not pray AMISS.

CONTEND OH LORD.
Contend ,oh Lord,with those that contend with me. Fight against those that fight against me.[ Psalm 35 ]verse 1. Good morning. In this passage of scripture, King David's feelings after so many attacks on his life. Right when we think we are safe, we find we had actual disloyal friends and sometimes family. I have always dreamed of being the best Dad, husband,employee.....yet right now i feel like such a failure. I look around and back at my life, i see very much pity. God had so much pity for me. I had no skills,just cast out in the street to survive. I promise i did my best, in business,being a freight hauler. Did way to many jobs, looking unstable to many folks. Always concerned about what image i portrayed. I was a natural in the drycleaning business. Yet i was never satisfied. This caused much unrest in marriage. Wow did it ever. Who was the unrest with? Mostly me. Never satisfied with my performance. Hard on myself
So now on top of all this,when i finally realized how to be steady, my arteries hardened and 4 surgeries later( heart) i am retired. Finally get to be a Sunday School teacher,imagine that. What has this to do with this scripture? I've learned that we in modern American churches we can find enemies. Yep i said it enemies. I've uncovered some in my own home.
Wow...i guess it doesn't pay to have conviction.
This is my prayer concerning this matter. Look at verse 3. Draw out also the spear and javelin and close and close up the way of those who persue me and persecute me. Say to me, I am your deliverance! Meaning the Lord. Look at verse 4. Let them be put to shame and dishonor who seek and require my life. Let them be turned back and confounded who plan my hurt. Oh my look now at verse 6.
Let their way be dark and slippery places, with the Angel of the Lord pursuing and afflicting them. Look at verse 7.
For without cause they hid for me their net; a pit of destruction without cause they dug for my life. Then in verse 9 David said let the net they created for him,catch them. Then in verse 9 David declares when this happened he would rejoice in his deliverance.
Oh my goodness. I believe as a born again Christian, i am entitled boldly to go to the throne of God and make my request known. So here it is.Heavenly Father u alone are Holy. Your Son Jesus Christ,
being my mediator,forgive me for my sins, those i know about and those i do not. Lord i claim David's request as my own. You alone know for whom, and why i have this request.
Avenge me speedily. In Jesus name Amen.

The book of Zephaniah we learn about the moral state Jerusalem in the prophets time, and inverse 17 are the third chapter of Zephaniah the Bible says this the Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty he will save he will rejoice over the with joy he would roll over thee with singing. I know but in this third chapter of Zephaniah the Lord is speaking to Jerusalem but he could also be talking to people this applies to that are haughty living ungodly making ungodly choices and decisions yet they need. Out there today people hurting so many hurting unnecessarily. To those doing the hurting this is the type of God that you got to deal with. In verse 7 the Lord says I said, surely thou Wilt fear me, that will receive instruction so their dwelling should not be cut off however I punished them but they Rose early and corrupted all they're doings. In verse 13 or chapter 3 the Bible says the remnant of Israel shall not do any equity nor speak lies neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth before they shut feed and lie down and None Shall make them afraid. The remnant in this case is verse 12 after he spoke to the haughty the prideful. Verse 12 I will also leave in the midst of The Afflicted and tour people and they shall trust in the name
Thou hast known my reproach,and my shame,and my dishonor: my adversaries arr all before thee.Reproach hath broken my heart;and i am full of heaviness: and i looked for some to take pity,but but there was none; and for comforters, but i found none. All this is in Psalm 69 verses 19,20. Turn your attention to verses 22 23 and 25.
Let their table become a snare for them. And that which should have been for their welfare,let it become a trap.let their eyes be darkened,that they see not. And make their loins continually to shake.Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents.

I am reading over 100's of quotes on marriage, many are biblical. Ya know I've began to think of my relationship with my wife. She was so cold anx indifferent from day one of our marriage. This has lasted over 5 years. We were on and off on our dating. She was never faithful, nor loyal. Always arguing with me, to marry her.Finally i did.
Text after text, accusing me of fear of commitment. Wow now she's flipped it and abandoned her marriage. So i sit here thinking even with me teaching, her involved in our little church, where we missed out. So many ways to love each other. But then, i realized i did try millions of times, and she shunned me. At church, she gossiped about our private life. I I was very suspicious but in the end I turned my face away from it. Hoping and praying that my trust in her was the right thing to do.Please forgive me for bringing this up but on my blogs I really like people to see The Human Side of me as well as spiritual. Even though it is a marriage that I'm talking about I was reading Ephesians chapter 4 vs 2 and 3. With all lowliness and meekness with long suffering forbearing one another in love endeavoring to keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace. The general subject here I was about the walk and service of the believer as in Christ. This scripture remind me that our love in our walk in Christ Jesus should include the way we treat our spouses. With gentleness and love. The Bible here is speaking of a Christian workers walk being Worthy of the position he holds. I was afraid in one day it would come to this. My spouse murmuring complaining to everyone in our small Church about her relationship with me. Shameful.
I'm sorry but it's very very difficult to remain focused when your spouse has abandoned you. It's difficult to wrap your spiritual arms around Christ and ask for mercy. Our spouses are humans just as we are and where they spend eternity is ever ever so urgent.

SO WE MUDDLE.
As you know not what is the way of the wind,or how the spirit comes to the bones in the womb of a pregnant women,even so you know not the work of God,who does all. Ecclesiastes chapter 11 verse 5. I saw my wife today, first time in a month. I must say she had a glow about her, even though she was surely troubled by my appearance. She shined as if she were a spring flower in a large field of blowing grass. It was great to see her.
Yet i wrestle with my Lord, over the true women inside her. Believer or not, born again or not. All i can say is it would kill me if i never saw her again. Then I say,(when i arrived home) after A short nap. Quote....i must get with God, AND the spirit leads me to this book of Ecclesiastes. And what do I learn?
I learn that we muddle through life since we do not know everything,with what knowledge we do have.We do not understand the movements of the wind, nor how bones and spirit are formed in the womb of a pregnant women.Neither do we understand what God does or why he does it. There could be many things,productive during a day we could lend our hands to. Maybe a few will prosper, maybe all. Spreading the word of God is successful, yet some methods are more fruitful than others. I believe the word is telling me i must press on early in the morning, and late in the evening. I feel from experience, that only service to God is the service in life i have to do at this time in my life and i can carry it successfully to my end. As i do this i will think on my little flower in the green field , and continue to love her, ask God to protect her from evil, and put a smile on her face. Ya see...what i am saying is i would love her to be in Gods glory with me some day. Think about someone you want to make it to heaven with you. We have not much way to know for sure , but we must pray for it hard. Never cease. We are not as smart as we sometimes think. I pray this makes sence to u.Amen.
