Early morning
Isa 50:4-54 The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.5 The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned(KJV)
I think of this verse this moring, knowing now why I was waken at 5am... quietly, wishing i could still sleep, but knowing it's purposed that i'm awake. And as it begins to be light outside, I'm more aware of the Light of Christ Himself inside my heart! Oh that wonderful feeling that your body is the temple/tabernacle/dwelling place, where God abides. David had to look to the hills, from whence came his help, but we, born of God, have God living within!
Have you ever just used your faith, and ran inside your own heart to have that encounter with the Spirit of Christ who abides there by your faith? Or have you discovered that you've never invited Him into your heart? I remember the night I did that. It was in 1976. The next morning I noticed that the sky was more blue! The sun was brighter! And the weight of sin was gone from my life! I remember that it was Him that woke me that morning, speaking into my ear, calling me by name! Saying to me, "Remi, open the door of your heart!"
With the door of your heart open, you can see the Kingdom of God. Most people don't look. I had spent 26 years with it closed. Now, I purpose each day to open it to see what ever He wants me to see.
Maybe it's time to stop being rebellious. Did you know that you can't rebel unless you've been taken captive???? Maybe we rebell because we don't know what the yoke is. Maby we don't know that it's a good thing to be yoked to our giftings and let ourself be trained to pull the plow, because then we can earn a living.
Anyway, it's my thoughts this morning. Believing with you for a blessed day..

Barren and Empty... Never Satisfied
Prov 30:15-1615 The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough:16 The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire that saith not, It is enough.(KJV)
I've found a sad thing, on this planet. The women who have been robbed of a child, whether through abortions or miscarriages or stillborns, have yet another thing at work in their lives. THey have a womb that is never satisfied, and it never says.. I've had enough. It's a sad thing for those, until they recognize what is taking place in their lives. They long to mother other women's children, to have their cubboards filled with things, and struggle with sex, alcohol and many other vices... never having enough of anything. so dis-satisfied.... always looking, always wanting....
I know that through Christ is there hope for them, in reading that in Christ, the barren will have multitudes of children around their tables. But that, I think that the Love of Christ will flow throuth those women in special ways. They are the ones who fight for an end to abortions, finances to science studies about miscarriages and medical breakthroughs for studies of the root causes of stillborns.
My own mother bore a stillborn. Several years before i was born. I'm the seventh of 16. Actually i would have been the eight.... hmmmm And after that many children, she seems so satisfied in life. Oh, maybe be she wouldn't have that many in our day, but in those days, well, here I am.. hehehe
I have a close friend who had an abortion in a time of her life when things were not going well. She spend years working with church groups for Pro-Life. Encouraging young women who were pregnant to have their children. To have the courage to try to make it in life even if they are in the time of trouble. She says that so many of the young just feared what their parents would say, or how they would ever be able to care for a child. Fear.... that thief.... the stealer of lives.. Today, that woman seems satisfied in life. You see, she filled that barren, empty place of her heart with the love of Christ, and gave to those in need, out of that love. She knew what she had lacked, and was able to give it to others.
Why am i writing of this today? Because someone reading this needs to know, that in Christ Jesus there's forgiveness, and enough love to fill your void barren heart, and then to raise you up and use you in a mighty way in this world. You are important to God! But in the world, and it's ways, you will not find enough to fill the empty place. Only through God's Love and in giving love will you be fulfulled in this life.....If i could, I'd give you the biggest father's hug you ever had... just to show you love... real love... that doesn't judge or look down on you. A hug that recognizes that you are really somebody and have a Great destiny ahead of you.
My prayer tonight, in closing, is that God, the Father of our Lord Jesus, will find the way to make His presence known to you through His Holy Spririt!..... and give you the hug that i can just want to give..
HUGGGGGGGssssssss

Fasting... what's it like
Today, i've been thinking about the times when i went on a long fast. The first, i drank only juices and it lasted for 28 days. Then, i thought i should quit because I was helping a guy build a house and it was getting hard to work a 10 hour day doing that kind of heavy work.
Just thinking of those days, and the benefits i received from them made me think maybe some of you would like to hear about it, in case you're thinking of fasting. For certain, fasting does 'Undo the yokes of bondage'... those things that keep us from success in our life.
SO in the days ahead, you can pray for me that i'll get this all written down on the website so you can read about it... Actually, there's some Great things that happened while I was fasting. And some other stuff.. hmmmm still interested?
Remi... lovin Jesus more each day!
