What a glorious day. I know there is devastation all around in Haiti but we are called to encourage each other also. That is what I am going to do today. I went for another walk this afternoon in the dense fog and it was fabulous. It really was. Again, as I wrote earlier about the distance you are able to see in the fog is somewhat limited. This time I was able to hear a train or two going by I could only hear it and not see it in the distance. As I was walking I truly enjoyed breathing in the fresh air. This air was different than a cold, winter day air we breathe in. I kept trying to think what I could compare it to. I realized it is like walking into your child's room when the cool mist vaporizer is running. When I was almost parallel to the tree that the bald eagles perch on I was able to see an eagle perched there this afternoon. It was so pleasant outside that I did not want to come inside. I decided to sweep off the patio and as I was doing so I saw a few neighbors and we chatted a bit. It was just good to be outside. If it would have been a tad bit warmer I would have hooked up the garden hose and hosed off my patio. As you can hear from my writing I did not want to come inside but I did.
You see when there is dense fog there really is a gift that is given to us once the fog lifts a bit. I am going to show you what it is. When you look at the picture posted you will see little droplets of dew on my fresh greens that I still have up. On a winters day we were able to experience the freshness of seeing dew on objects. How many even noticed this today? I hope others did notice this.
When I was on the road walking today Holy Spirit reminded me of what I was shown that I was in a wagon and it was Jesus taking the handle and guiding me to where I needed to go. Especially when you are walking on a path and it seems like you cannot see ahead of you or to the sides or behind you. That is when you really need to buckle down and seek the Lord for direction and protection. As I walked today a coyote could have came out from nowhere and I would have not been able to see it until it was right there. That can represent the tactics of the enemy. If you are not in the word of God, praying, fasting and keeping yourself walking in destiny it is very easy for the enemy to sneak up on you and you realize it too late. There is power in the word of God. There is even power in your witness and testimony to others. Your disasters so to speak will be anothers words of warning to get their life right with God.
We need to examine ourselves periodically to see if we are slacking in any area of our life. If so repent and turn back to God. Remember, if you are in the wagon and He is directing your path you will still be able to walk in dense fog and not see Him but it is assuring to know that He never let go of you. He still kept you in His grasp. Let us pause now for a moment of examining our lives.
Repeat this prayer after me if you found yourself slacking in an area of your life and you want to ask Jesus for forgiveness. You know it says that as far as the east is from the west our sins are forgotten. Let Jesus cleanse you so you can start over again. say this..."Jesus I am a sinner and I ask you to forgive my sins both known and those I cannot recollect right now. Please cover them with Your blood and revive my heart. You reign in my life and I just want to serve you and complete all that you call me to do with my life. Forgive me if I let go of you for you never let go of me. Fill me Holy Spirit with your power and might and wisdom to allow me to complete all that you have for me to complete. Forgive me if in my times of being selfish that I neglected to reach out a loving hand to another to help them in their time of need. Give me a second chance to reach out to your people. Let the lost time be revived as though there was no lack of time or distance. I ask you to now send to me many more people to set them free and to share your love with them. Amen."
My heart is so very heavy right in this moment for those that do not know Jesus and if it should be their last breath taken sometime today and they never called upon Jesus they will surely perish in hell for eternity. Father I ask you to send forth your ministering angels to get those lost souls to places and situations in which they can hear the gospel message of salvation. You do not want to go to hell because I was allowed to hear one day a few years ago the screams and horrific tormented sounds that came from hell. Do not go there I plead with you to not go there. Choose life this day. If you never asked Jesus into your heart today is the day that I am reaching out to you with a prayer that will save your life forever. Repeat this prayer after me..."Jesus, I am a sinner forgive me of my sins. I believe that you were born of the virgin Mary you suffered and died upon the cross and on the third day you rose from the dead. You shed your blood so that my sins could be forgiven. Come into my heart and be the Lord and the love of my life. Teach me through the Holy Spirit of you and your ways. Let me know that I am truly yours now and keep me in Your care. Amen."
Holy Spirit I ask you to seal these very words upon their hearts and bless them this very day because all of the angels in heaven rejoiced when people said this very prayer. I thank you that they are in the lambs book of life and let me have the great honor of meeting these new brothers and sisters in Christ not only on this earth but in heaven one day. Amen.
To me the greatest miracle of all is the gift of salvation. A gift that is freely given to us and all we have to do is say yes in faith and believe it in our heart and confess it with our lips. How uncomplicated is that? It is so simple that even a child can do this. Lord I ask you to bless these believers with something so special that they will always remember this day that they became born again. Welcome to the family of Christ.
Wow!!! Isn't that amazing? I started out thinking I was going to write about fog and Holy Spirit directed this divine appointment as a connector to someones destiny. I give you praise this very day Father in heaven You are truly awesome.
