He Prepares Our Days

 The year was two thousand and four, when my world was turned upside down. I would like to share with you how our wonderful, faithful Lord more than blessed "this mother's heart".  You might think that after your children are married, that you as a mother  don't have to worry about them any more, but that is NOT true.  It is just different and I found that the Lord was still using them to prefect my faith in Him.


My husband and I had built a new home near our middle daughter Robin and her family, so that she could help us to meet any needs we might have caring for my elderly parents living in our home. It was a rich blessing for many years, as Robin reached out by caring for her grand mother and grand father, when I was not available.

My mother was in the hospital recovering from pneumonia and I was on my way to bring her back home. While I was waiting for the nurse to physically check my mother and to sign the release papers, I started to read  Psalm 118 :17, 18, "I shall not die, but I shall live,and recount the deeds of the LORD.  The LORD has disciplined me severely but He has not given me over to death.,"  I thought to myself, "WOW,what a great promise to share with someone."  I tucked that away, brought my mother home, settled her down for her nap, and then headed over to fellowship with Robin.


Robin was sitting on the front porch looking so dejected and sad. It wasn't like her.  She has never been prone to depression and I was deeply concerned. Graciously, as always, she offered me a cup of tea and said that she had something to share with me.  "Mom, I just got back from the doctors and the lump on my breast needs attention." 


When I heard this, my mind started to go in a million different directions.  I sought hard to control my own thoughts, and not to upset her any more. "Lord help me." I cried out, then this still small voice said to me, "Share the verses". I immediately thought of Psalm 118:17:18.  Had the Lord already prepared my heart?  Was that scripture for my daughter NOW?  The Lord knew this moment between a mother and her daughter and He so  graciously provided a word of encouragement for both of us, "You shall not die, you shall live."

How much the Lord loved my daughter.  She was truly His. He was going to discipline her, not out of His anger towards her sin, because Jesus had already paid the price at Calvary,  but now she would begin to experience the cleansing power of the Word of God, as she grew in her faith.

 She draw very close to Jesus and He became very real to her.  She and her husband took communion every day believing in the healing power of the body and blood of Jesus.  Their marriage was  strengthened , along with the faith of her children, in the Lord. 

The trial of her faith effected many people around her.  The Lord encouraged my faith, as the Lord led she and her husband through the steps of healing. There is no fear in LOVE and where the Lord is, there is liberty. 

 Robin is free today of breast cancer. It is only one of the consequences of Adams sin and it could happen to any of us, but Jesus was willing to come to earth, to take upon Himself the consequences of all of Adam's sin in EXCHANGE for His healthy body.  Psalm 107 says," He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destruction."   There is a name HIGHER then cancer and His name of Jesus.  Robin's body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and cancer is not welcomed.  All praise and glory goes to the living God, who ever lives to intercedes for those who love and worship Him.

Learning to Reign

When our three daughters were very young, one of the most special times that they had with their daddy was standing on top of his shoes and dancing together. Then, Cinderella and her Prince would entered the ball  swirling around and around , until daddy was exhausted.  What fun it was to watch each little girl learning how to dance on top her daddy's feet.

We may not be exactly standing on our daddy's feet, but we are being prepared to reign seated in Heavenly Places. Ephesians 2:4-6  God says, " God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love, with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses made us alive together with Christ--by grace you have been saved-- and RAISED US UP AND SEATED US WITH HIM IN THE HEAVENLY PLACES, so that in the coming ages He might show the immeasurable riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus." WOW, how good is that?  By faith, we ARE already seated with Him in Heavenly Places in the coming ages.


We are now living in the AGE OF GRACE, which makes this verse REALLY come alive.  We do not have to WAIT to be seated with Him, we are by faith seated there NOW.  Because we are hidden in Christ in God, where He is, so ARE we!!! (Col.3:3)

Jesus walks on this earth today through the Holy Spirit living in us, His people, the Church. Heaven and earth is one, and by the Holy Spirit we are one with Christ, ruling and reigning as we learn to hear His voice and follow Him. 

Apart from Christ, we can do nothing that is holy, righteous or good. But in Christ, by faith, we have authority and power in the Name of Jesus to bring down strong holds that wage war against our love ones.  The more I have come to understand my authority in Christ, and how to apply the blood of Jesus into circumstances,  the more I have experienced Satan backing down and Jesus taking over.  He has brought emotional, physical and spiritual healing, not only to me, but to those around me.  Revelation 12:11, "And they conquered him ( the  devil),  by the blood of the Lamb (Jesus), and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives, even unto death."


Satan is furious.  He is like the honey bees in August, buzzing around for his last sting.  But, praise be to God.  We have authority in the Name of Jesus, who reigns at the right hand of His Father and we are seated IN him.  Our little girls learned to dance on their daddy's feet,today they are learning to STAND on Jesus' feet and in the authority of Jesus, overcoming the world, the flesh and the devil.

 Romans 5:17, "For if the one man's offense death reigned though the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness WILL REIGN IN LIFE through the one, Jesus Christ."

Eat the Meat and Spit out the Bones

I would like to share this brother with you.  His understanding of GRACE vs. LAW is so clear and biblical.  He reveals Jesus to us in His preaching that you will never forget.  You have to hear him at least once. Like all teaching and preaching, we have to be discerning, learning to "eat the meat and spit out the bones."  I believe that you will find very little bones in this meat. What a blessing he has been to me and I pray he will be to you.This is one of his podcasts.
