Go On With God

Go On With God

Mark 14:35 “Then He went on a little further”
Setting Garden of Eden when Jesus is praying and soon to be arrested.

  • There were those that were so indifferent to Jesus that they were unaware He was even in the garden. 
  • Then there was Judas who knew where Jesus was but was too busy with his own schemes to join Him. 
  • Then the rest of the Disciples joined Him but they were distracted by sleep. 
  • Jesus told them the urgency of the hour, but they didn’t comprehend it. 
  • There were the inner circle of Disciples Peter James and John who initially prayed with Jesus yet even they could not grasp the significance of this moment. 

Ultimately Jesus prayed alone. He went further than His disciples and prayed longer. 

At the greatest moment of intercession in human history, there was no one willing to go with Jesus and watch with Him. 

I believe God is calling you to go deeper in your prayer life with Him. I believe this is the direction we need to head going forward.

Are you willing to go deeper? Should you accept this opportunity, follow these simple steps

Every Day at the 
Same Time in the
Same Place
Meet w God

First, pray: in your prayer, praise Him for what He has Sovereignly planned for you for that day: Good/Bad/Indifferent  

Second, ask Him to open your heart to understand His Word; this will come over a period of time as you meet Him every day at the same time, in the same place.

Third, thank Him in advance for what He is going to teach/tell you. 

Fourth, This Week, Read Philippians 3 each and every day. Read it in different versions each day. Like NIV, ESV, NLT, The Message. You’ll find all of these in the You Version App


Fifth, journal what God tells you.

#UntilWeMeetAgain

 Happy 1st Birthday in Heaven, Dear One! 🩵🎂🎉🥳🎈🩵Oh, I can see your face clearly and hear your infectious giggle, Sheri 🩵💞💝💞🩵 What it must be like to dwell in the House of The Lord!! What it must be like to sing there!!! “What a Mighty God we serve, angels bow before the Mighty One we serve! Lord, You’re Mighty! Lord You’re Mighty! You are Awesome, Awesome!” Carpooling to our MK meetings together is really where our friendship began nearly 20 years ago. You were the perfect “partner in crime.” One who could fill my heart with joy while distracting me from deep grief after So Much Loss! One who could make me laugh again. You’d go anywhere with me to keep me above the struggle 💓 and it was always a party to be with you! 🥳 We’d be singing to the top of our lungs back and forth everywhere we went, back then! And I was in heaven when you got that Lexus with the sunroof that I had never had! You’d open up that roof, our voices rising to the Heavens, “My God is Awesome, Awesome, He

Impulsivity

By -
     Jude 20, "But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit."     Jesus Christ represents to me a calm strength in the every day circumstances of life; panic is not even a shadow in his temperment.  Impulsivity is the opposite.  It is a loud voice in the world that screams to be heard.  Panic is it's MO (Mode of Operation).  Impulsivity stunts our spiritual growth.  Learning how to discipline the impulse to act hastily, or speak too quickly, is key.   Replace your impulsive responses to the every day, 24/7 circumstances, with a slowly developed habit of praying first before speaking or acting.  It may just save you from real embarassment.  Lean into God for an understanding of your circumstances and pray to discern His wisdom and word.  Learning not to be in the center, and live exceptionally in the ordinary, is not easily acquired.

Don't Lose Heart IN the Process

     Coming away from the our 4th Annual Girlfriends Get-a-Way brings an altogether new prospective on this life God has called me to live.... away from Insecurity and Abandonment... praying to know the heart of God in others.... letting go of the past....  forgiving and living and being more intentional about it.... drinking in God's Goodness.... living by FAITH and TRUST to "Reap the Harvest He promised me.... Take back what the Devil stole from me.... I rejoice today for I shall recover it all."      Matthew 7:13-14, "Enter through the narrow gate.  For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.  But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."      God never promised me an easy road in this life; I'm continuing to learn how to "rouse myself up" to appreciate the working out of my Salvation in Christ especially in the difficulties that come.  The Question
