Face Time Prayer
Face Time Worship
Face Time has become the highlight of my days. I thank You, God for leading me to this concept. Our small body at CRC Kingdom Life Church is expanding individually and as a whole. Individually, we have each received a "job", and as a whole, it is an effective ministry for seeking and saving those who are lost, and giving life abundantly. This expansion is beyond us, as we had ever thought or imagined. According to the power that is at work within us. It is You. It is You.
I am far more happy and so full of joy, being about Your business, Lord. You call me friend. You have given Your life so that I might have Life. The sin man is dead and cannot be made accused. My new life is a clean record. I don't care much about what happens to the "Neil-mobile", I just care about the driver inside me. It is You. It is You. You sustain me. Your grace is sufficient for me. I have want nor need of any thing. You are my provider now. No more will I consume a sin diet. I am made whole now, and this time I purpose to keep me whole, simply by adhering to Your instruction.
I think about the advanced technology we have, over the eons. Then I think about how much we have evolved to adapt to our environment. I think about the many pages there are in the manuals that come with some of the new stuff in the world. Then I think about the Bible. I notice that with inventions, the manuals get more and more detailed, and in a prose that is not generally easy to read and understand... especially a mechanics manual for vehicles. What I noticed most, and is just simply awesome is that Your manual never needs to be updated. Your manual never needs to be expounded or adjusted. We continue to advance, but the Bible need not do so.
You are the same yesterday, today and forever. There is no need for second editions or adjustments. Your plan had never changed. Even greater still, its written in a prose that is elementary; easy for ANYone to understand and adhere to.
When two plants are "grafted" the DNA is merged. The plant becomes a whole new species. When I graft Your Word into my heart, I am injected into Your DNA, and You into mine. I become a whole new species. I sense Your life giving fluid (Word) coursing through my veins, destined for my very heart. Here, it continues to manifest so as to remove the resin that sin slugs have left in their trials. It courses its way to my brain, to result in a "renewed mind".
I just LOVE how some people say the church is "brain washing" us. They are only half right. We are getting a good washing for our brains, but it ain't the church that's doing it. It's the Word of God that washes my brain, to eradicate my "stinkin' thinkin'". Even all this, and more... it ain't even a small part of who You are in all, Father. It can't be measured. What I know of You is sufficient for that life You had so passionately made available to me. But, it's only a very tiny part of all that You are, Jesus.
We, the human race, had seen Jesus, incarnate. Before that time, many simply didn't believe the Seers from former days. Seeing is NOT believing. Believing is seeing. I will see it when I believe it. I mean, REALLY believe it. Not with an expressed effort in fervency, but in genuine, real believing. Is George Washington real? I didn't see him. When I chose to believe it, I was able to better understand the work he had accomplished. First of all, I ain't out there discrediting or scrutinizing the history pages, to decide if GW is real or not. I ain't analyzing the details for integrity. What I've done is simply believe. THEN I was able to see the fruit he bore in his life work.
The same goes for EVERYthing. If we believe it, we can see it. We can understand it's role in the world and in us, individually. I am thankful for this Word today, Lord. I will return here often so that I can graft this revelation into my heart and soul. I pray in Jesus' name, amen.
