IMPOSTER ON THE LOOSE

Lord Jesus,

         There's a lot happening in the world today. According to God's Word, it appears that we are nearing the end of the age with Your second coming being imminent. Of coarse it has appeared that way for many a year, even for several centuries - some might even say for more than a millennia. Even so, there's nothing that You have not over come and can even still over come in this life time. And for that I am very grateful.

Lord Jesus,

         It seems to me that we don't think of things in the manner we should. Is war actually necessary? Does war have to be a part of life? The factions between good and evil and between Heaven and hell just don't make any sense. I understand that when it comes to usurping God's authority and attempting to take over His throne is a big no-no. But is that really what life is all about? Is that what life is supposed to be, Lord Jesus, always fighting to one degree or other? Lord Jesus, I may be a full grown adult asking what may seem to be childish questions, but is this really how it's supposed to be until the consummation of the ages?

Lord Jesus,

         People blame life for giving them a bum rap. But I think we some how discredit life and don't give life the honor life is due because we don't rightly cherish life. And of all the things God has blessed ... life is the only thing God has commanded us to choose and life is the one thing He has blessed and commanded to be everlasting. So it can't be life that is fickle, Lord Jesus. Some how it has got to be us. I can't believe that life has lost its moral compass, or that life was meant to be or express anything less than divine.

        You know, Lord Jesus, I know what it means to feel like life has despised me. There were times when I'd look at my life and wonder if God got His jollies at my expense - that if He made me just to be life's joke. And if I felt that way, how many others have felt that way or wondered the same thing? It makes me shudder to even think such a notion. But You know where I was at, Lord, and all that I was going through and how ignorant I was. And I took it out on God, not knowing or realizing that it was the devil all the while lying to me and pretending to be somebody he wasn't. He was showing himself to be God when he was nothing but a faker, a pretender, an imposter. But thankfully God did not hold it against me. You made it that way, Lord Jesus. You understood my condition and all that was involved. You stood in the gap for me and fought the good fight of faith for me, doing whatever was necessary to save me from Satan's power and  deliver me from the kingdom of darkness. When all I could comprehend was how much I was hated and despised and treated as though I had no right to life, You were (and still are) at work to show me something better - that God does love me and that God would never do or provide anything other than what's best.

Lord Jesus,

           I am so grateful to God for You. So many people are beside themselves and overcome with so much grief and torment that they think that God must hate them and that life has thrown them overboard to sink or swim on their own. But that's not true, Lord Jesus. Is it? So many people are so lost and so heart broken that they don't know how to live life well or live it to the fullest. Some people are so overwhelmed with heinous abuses and torture, Lord Jesus, that they think God is the source and cause of it. They don't know how to think any better nor conceive of anything more splendid for themselves or their situation because they have lost hope. Not everyone has either heard of God or has any concept of God. But somehow that seems inconceivable to me because even at a very young and tender age I knew that God existed, though I had no concept of what it meant to truly be accepted, appreciated, valued, or treated as precious. Even well into my adulthood, I am still coming to terms with that. My only concept of any semblance of acceptance, appreciation, value and worth came only on my knees and in God's Word. But to truly experience such treasures is something I am still learning. I know very little of experiencing such treasures, yet I have no doubt there are countless others who know even less concerning the personal experience of such treasures. But God knew that it would be that way for the bulk of us; didn't He, Lord Jesus?  God knew that there was an imposter on the loose who would do anything and everything necessary to keep us from knowing The Truth and from knowing how much God really did and does love us. That's why You came, isn't it, Lord Jesus?  That's why God made sure to reveal that it is You Who is The Way, The Truth, The Light and The Life of men; isn't it, Lord Jesus? -- Bless You, Lord Jesus. Bless You for fulfilling God's desire and for being the perfect expression, the perfect reality of His joy manifest. Bless You. Bless You. Bless You.

Lord Jesus,

         You know who it is that needs to read these words, who needs to hear that they are not alone. You know who it is that can be helped and blessed by the reading of these words, so I trust You to do what is best for them. But there are those who don't have access to the internet or to reading, so I trust The Angel of The Lord to minister to them in Jesus' Name, what is necessary to helping them to do more than merely survive just so they can exist or merely exist just so they can survive. I trust Him to help them in every way possible so that they can really learn to rightly live and thrive in Jesus' Name for the sake of The Kingdom of God and His Righteousness. Life didn't hand them a bum deal, Lord Jesus. That was the devil's doin'. But glory to God Most High! Life is about to become the most amazing, miraculous experience they have ever known. And I praise You for it, Lord Jesus. I praise You for it, to the glory of God The Father. Amen.

BLESS THEM BEYOND BELIEF

Lord Jesus,

         Many members of my family, friends, and life colleagues are in desperate need of knowing how much they are worth - of how invaluable they really are to The Kingdom of God and His Righteousness. Many of them are utterly ignorant of The Truth of how much You really do love them and of the dear price You paid to redeem them from the curse of the law of sin and death. Many have no concept of what it means to be a special treasure or of the price that was paid so that they would know it in no uncertain terms. Many don't even realize the value of The Blood that was shed to redeem them from Satan's power or The Glory that was manifest to deliver them from the kingdom of darkness and translate them into The Kingdom of God's Marvelous Light - into The Light of God's Dear Son, Jesus Christ.

Lord Jesus,
         There is so much I could say right now, but I take pause so as not to be confusing in what is said or too ethereal in context. This is a delicate matter and The Holy Spirit must be the one to do the bulk of the writing. I know what is in my heart, and though I am not eloquent of speech, I trust You to convey the words that are best suited to praying properly - edifying my fellow man as well as exalting Christ, glorifying God and letting The Holy Spirit minister God's amazing grace, tender mercy, and perfect love for the sake of all concerned.

Lord Jesus,
         Forgive me for not being able to continue on at this moment. I trust there is good reason for it. However, I pray, Lord Jesus, that You would bless all the members of my family, friends and life colleagues as You did Saul of Tarsus - by giving each and every one of them an experience of a life time - a personal encounter with Christ - a personal experience with God's powerful life transforming love. And I pray it bless them beyond belief. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

I pray that this site will engender hope in the hearts and souls, minds and spirits of those who are led to see what this site is all about. And I pray that it will be an amazing vehicle for reaching lives and saving souls and encouraging right relationship with God, with self, and with others - even with regard to loving, blessing, and praying for our enemies. 

         Use me as You wish, Dear Lord, and be as creative as You desire through the works of my hands, to the glory of God The Father and the magnifying of Heaven, Dear Jesus. For I love You and desire to fulfill God's awesome will, plan and purpose for my life, also desiring that God's work in and through me will also benefit others of The Kingdom of God and His Righteousness in Jesus' Name.

Glory be to God Most High, Dear Jesus. Glory be to God Most High, Who blesses other members of my dear family, friends and life colleagues around the world through the vehicle that is this blog. In Jesus' Precious and Holy Name Amen.

THANK YOU FOR BEING SO WONDERFUL, DEAR JESUS

Lord Jesus,

       Thank You for being so wonderful. Thank You for being so exceedingly gracious to us all, for us all. How could it be possible for someone so perfect as You to exist? Most surely You are The Sun of Righteousness, The Glory of God The Father. Most certainly, Lord Jesus, You are The Christ of God and The Hope of Glory manifest in Spirit and in Truth - born of God and born of man. Of this there is no denying. Of all the bountiful blessings and marvelous miracles that have been given or that has ever manifest or to forever exist ... there is none greater than You. And I cannot praise God enough, Who in His infinite wisdom made sure that there were even songs to commemorate such evidence. Joy To The World; Gloria - Inexcelcious Daeo (spelling may not be correct, but you know what I mean); and the Halleluiah Chorus are but a few examples that come to mind.

Lord Jesus,

        There are many lost souls in the world who may not have even heard of You. But there are also many in the world who are kept quite sheltered and are living in substandard settings with much abuse, neglect, torture, lies and hate. And these people, Lord Jesus, need You. They need a miracle. They need the miracle of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

Lord Jesus,

      You are no longer on the cross or in the grave. You have risen to new heights - from the Divine existence to the human existence then non-existence, to the spirit existence to the ultimate existence - forever being King of kings and Lord of lords, and forever High Priest, Mediator, Savior, Redeemer and Justice Divine... and Healer - The Great Physician. No one else holds that title, and no one else ever can. It belongs to You and You alone, Dear Jesus. All of these titles belong to You and You alone, along with The Light in the darkness - for You alone, Dear Jesus, are The Way, The Truth, and The Light ... and You are The Light of men - The Light of our lives.

Lord Jesus,

       Please help these who have been led astray by, into and for the evil purposes of the kingdom of darkness. Visit them where they are and minister to them as You did Saul of Tarsus. It matters not how young or old they are, Dear Lord. It only matters that they know You and how ALIVE and awesome You are - and how much The Kingdom of God AND His Righteousness is supporting them and  helping them and providing for them The Truth that sets them free.

Yes, Lord Jesus,

        I am very grateful for all that You have accomplished, for all the ways that You have succeeded in this life and for all the ways You have overcome the world ... and for all the ways You have overcome the wicked one and his kingdom of darkness with Your marvelous Holy Light. But there are others who without Your help or intervention - like Moses or
Saul of Tarsus experienced, who might not have a chance at knowing God's love for them or the power of His intervention in their lives and affairs - these that were stolen from God's hand, I cannot believe would be left without Heaven's help, when God is very much in the adoption business and will adopt anybody and everybody who is ever forsaken by their mother and father. And God is not a man that He should lie, neither is He the son of man that He should repent. So I praise God from Whom all blessings flow, that The Kingdom of God AND His Righteousness is at work in these people's lives, proving that The Kingdom, Power and Glory truly do belong to God The Father, God The Son, and God The Holy Spirit - even on earth as it is in Heaven. In Jesus' Precious and Holy Name. Amen.

Lord Jesus,

        Thank You so very much for paying such a dear price to redeem us all from satan's power, to deliver us all from the kingdom of darkness, and to translate us into The Kingdom of God's Marvelous Light. Bless You for being so wonderful, Dear Jesus. Bless You.
