HOW TO GROW IN THE LORD DAY AFTER DAY







Many make resolutions to do this or that, as another new year rolls around when the answers are provided for us, way in advance. It is actually very simple - the Lord wants us to come closer to Him and to fellowship with, talk to and meet with Him daily.

To being this and any new year, we have decided to do something which will be easy to do, require no more than 5 - 10 minutes per day and can inspire our souls. It can also light a huge burning fire in our hearts to become will with a passion for the Lord in a new way, which may have not seemed possible before.

We start each day in this 31 Days of (short) Prayer for the month of January, by focusing on a different word daily. Then we look at the Bible verse associated with it and the explanation with it. This is followed by a simple thing or things to do that day or week, to get the most of this devotion, to pray and then to maximize its impact.

Some may do so by writing in the Bible margin or notes and some more are already using a prayer journal to record and track with the 31 Days of Prayer by monitoring their daily progress in the Word and Prayer.  

So click the LINK below and catch up with all which you have missed and then let this take you through the year, as you and I do the exercises associated with it:

NEW LIFE: A MONTH OF VERSES: JANUARY 16, 2017

VERSE: “For he who finds me finds life and obtains favor from the LordBut he who sins against me injures himself; all those who hate me love death.” (Proverbs 8:35-36)

FORMULA: If you follow after everyone else and ignore God then it is on you. Q.E.D.

ACTION: Life is full of choices that are as plan as day. Every aspect of life requires personal decision, but for some reason, matters of the soul are purposefully ignored. Take action now: decide NOW - DO YOU WANT ETERNAL LIFE, WITH TRUE PEACE AND JOY STARTING NOW, ALONG WITH THE FAVOR OF GOD? IF SO - JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY WAY TO SALVATION. REBEL AGAINST HIM, YOU CHOOSE ETERNAL SEPARATION AND HELL.

PRAYER: Oh Most Kind and Good God, You gave man the best of everything when You created Him in the Garden yet he made the wrong choice bringing sin, death and destruction in the world. Lord, we know most will not choose You, on this side of Eternity even though the warnings are stark and EVERYWHERE, but Lord, we pray for those who do, that we may humbly come before the Throne of Grace, seeking deliverance and continued intervention in our daily lives, that we may find FAVOR and mercy, and grace, love and the compassion You alone can offer. Father, Lord we come. We have found life, true life, IN YOU. We need no other. We pray for those who rebel against You that they may see the light before it is too late for them. Grant us continued Favor, oh Lord, as we pursue You in Spirit and in Truth, through Jesus Christ the King, amen.

NEW LIFE: A MONTH OF VERSES: JANUARY 15, 2017

VERSE: "Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at my doorposts". Proverbs 8:34 

FORMULA: Being alert + Standing in the Doorway of Hope (Petah Tikvah) = Direct Line to Divine Wisdom

ACTION: Christianity is the only intellectual Faith system, where logic, reason AND hope reside.Therefore, by following the admonitions of Yahweh to take up residence, at His Tent of Meeting DAILY, like a Mezuzah on your doorposts, we gain direct access to His Holy Temple...from where DIRECT blessings flow constantly from His Hand and Magnificent Heart!

PRAYER: Great Father in Heaven, what a wonderful, gracious and powerful God You are. There is none like You! From everlasting to everlasting YOU ARE GOD! Your love for Your children goes beyond amazing as You invite us to come visit You, test You, find You True and then watch and marvel at what You will do next! This is life altering. This is beyond comprehension. This is too good for words. Father, we love, praise, magnify, adore, worship, bless, lift up, glorify and sing of Your Love forever, to the Praise and Glory of the Great King of the Universe - the Lord Jesus, forever and forever, amen and amen!

BOOK REVIEW: "SPLASH!" - SOOTHING TO THE SOUL.

“SPLASH!”, the latest offering from the prolific “pen” of Susan Rohrer is a dynamic, quick read full of nuggets which will both inspire and cause the reader to think. These “bit/byte”-sized spiritually delectable morsels carry awesome Bible-based truths that anyone can apply to the specific human condition of the soul, at any time.  The quotes are brief enough for the reader to latch onto, in order to have a more orderly, cleared-up vision of what this brief life on earth is really all about. 

With many quotes taken from her Holy Spirit book*, her Redeeming Romance novels, and her excellent Bible study on the Book of Ezekiel, “SPLASH!” continues a theme that I glean, represents the true ministry to which God called Ms. Rohrer. This would be to share and proclaim the power that comes from such a vibrant relationship with God, through Jesus Christ, that the outflow would be like rivers of living water! 

As I read through the quotes and words of “SPLASH!”,  the lyrics of the great
Susan Rohrer, Author
hymn of the Faith came to mind: “When peace like a river attendeth my way...”  This book is recommended not just as a good read for some delightful inspirational quotes, but could be used in a counseling session for a teenage girl going through the hard years in high school, or the single mom who is struggling to raise toddlers while working two jobs, or even the hard-nosed OTR (over the road) truck driver, who has endless hours of empty road cross country to ponder the deep things of life. As Susan says in “SPLASH!”, such fellow travelers should take note that “God is not finished with you. There is no winding down with age. Check Proverbs 15:24 and see: the wise wind up!” One thing sums up “SPLASH!” and it is this quote for those who think God could never love, help, or accept someone like them (because of whatever). Susan says “Remember Lot’s wife. It’s impossible to walk straight ahead while looking back. Forget the old and move forward in newness of life.”
