Day 10
 
  
Wisdom of Knowing Who I Walk With
 
There is no way I would make it through this season of my life without Jesus in my life. He is my guide, rock, protector, teacher, wisdom, understanding, holds me steadfast when I want to let go. Has kept me on a path in Him and  bringing me closer to understanding who He is. My relationship has grown deeper through this time. <><>
Psalm 18 is one of my favorite story's, .....
  I called to my Father for help. Torrents of death where around me,  death confronting me as close as my breath. I needed wisdom, help, guidance and love. He had been there in the past, every time as a matter of fact. He is my rock, my deliverer, my shield from the enemy arrows. I praised Him for these times of help in my distress. Adonai knows me, all of me and still loves me, He had been there in the past, would He be right here and give me rest? I called Adonai, He came. He was moving Heaven and Earth at the sound of my voice, the cry of His daughter in distress. He was angry,  in haste, Adonai came. The earth shook, Adonai, made a path of fire the wind from that fire. fueled the cherub He rode, darkness and clouds hid Him. Brightness led the way as His voice thundered the Heavens. <><>
He had spoken before, creating with His words. By the force of His words He rescued me. Saving me from an enemy who hated me. They were against me and stronger than I. Adonai, He became my strength. He drew me to a safe place, a safe distance from those who wanted to take me out.<><>
 The enemy of my soul. Resting in this safe place, I saw the pleasure in His face, pleasure in me for looking to my Father in the day of my distress. He didn't rebuke me or yell at me. Adonai, took pleasure in me. He took me into His arms and taught me. Arming me for the future, for I know the enemy is still out there. But for now, it is time to rest in Adonai, listening to His still small voice, by His Spirit Adonai will light the darkness for me and with leaps and bounds I can run the course before me as He shields me with salvation. The joy He gives me, strengthens me so that I can walk in His straight ways. He trains me for the battles ahead and I boost in what I know of Him. With humility, I pursue my enemies, overcoming them, for it is through His power and authority.  I am filled with glory and praise for who He is in me.
At the end of the day, I know it is my Father and I. He will never leave me nor forsake me, as I hold His hand.>

Day 12

 
Wisdom for Eternity
 
Learning and growing, making mistakes and decisions, living and death are all part of life here on earth. This earthly existence is just the beginning of the rest of your life. What we do here is what influences eternity. Eternity according to several different sources means: where God or the gods are said to endure eternally, time without end, a state that comes after death and never ends, a place both the past and the future, forever, a time without end. Eternity has no limits
I want to live with eternity in mind. I want to influence what I will do in the future, after I die this physical death.<><>
 
All religions have a different eternity. A different way they will spend their life after death with our physical bodies. Our physical bodies have a limit to how long it can exist. It was not made with eternity in mind. But our spirits were. Our spirits will go on long after our bodies decay in the grave. The physical body goes back to dust, never more to rise again. When death comes, we are done with this earthly body and we are given a new one for our spirits to dwell in. One without limits, one that both sickness and disease can not touch nor death. This is the "body" we will have for eternity.<><>
 
In Revelation we are told we will receive a new name and hidden manna if we overcome the things of this world. If we hold fast to God and not deny Him, He will not deny us. We will also be given authority over the Nations and  sit on the throne with Him. Each of us  will be clothed in a white garment and our name will not be erase from the Book of Life.<><>
 
Another thing I noticed of those of us who persevere, we will not have to go through the "time of testing" which is about to come upon the whole earth. (Revelation 3:10) That is something to persevere for. I feel the time of testing will be harder that we can imagine.<><>
 
God has prepared Nations and Worlds, homes and places for us..(II Peter 5:10-18) This earth will be destroyed and the heavens. I believe this "heavens" is the second heaven where satan and the demons dwell. The elements of this world will be destroyed as well. The things, we have been saving, homes, riches, business, reputation etc will not be saved. Anything on this world or of this world will be gone. Yes, we are to walk in the destiny God has for us, gives us life, leading to the eternal living. A new heaven and new earth will be made and we will dwell there. A new: clean, amazing, free of disease, pollution, sin, fear, hopelessness, pain, pride, jealousy, sickness, sadness or sorrow home. The only thing to remain is what we did and who we followed after. Your spirit and the condition it is in is what will go with you into the future. Who you dwelled with, who you served with, during your earthly life, God and His kingdom or satan and his, this is who you will spend the future with. Just for your fyi, if you thought that you neither chose God or satan, and just lived for you, just pleasing your senses, you chose the way of satan. Why, because this is how he lives. This is why he became separated from God in the first place. He was the highest ranking angel in Heaven, then over time, he decided he deserved (pride) the attention God was receiving and had to leave Heaven.  Satan was cast down from Heaven to the second heaven and his kingdom is earth. That is why he has so much rule and effect on what goes on here. One, we have allowed him that effect and second, when we chose pride, jealousy, hate, anger, strife, pollution etc, we are choosing his way of living. <><>
 
In Heaven with God and the angels, or hell with satan and demons. You make the choice now, not later. Now is when you condition or train your spirit for the future. Chose wisely. There is no ridding the fence. If you do not chose God and His ways you have chosen satan. Why? Because God has given him this world, the flesh way of living is his way of living. That is the way of death.
We have also been given this world and to chose how we want this place to be.
 Let this be a place where the Kingdom of Heaven comes.<><> II Thessalonians 2: 1-13/ Galatians 5/ Romans 1/ Revelations 2 and 3/ Ephesians 2

PRAYER:
Heavenly Father, guide us into all truth, Help us to live with the future in mind. To prepare a way for you to bring the new Heaven and new Earth. We need Your influence and way of living so that we will preserver, overcome the things of this world.  We are looking for and hastening the coming of the day when You will come and destroy this world and all satanic influence and bring the New Nations and our homes You are preparing. Give me the courage and boldness to chose You. amen.
 
This teaching could go on. Maybe I will continue with this at a later post. Blessings in you life.
