BEGINNINGS AGAIN - CHRISTMAS by Bibleladyjunebug99

Saturday Dec 24 2016 reposted   April 14, 2018   Saturday  


BEGINNINGS AGAIN



BEGINNINGS AGAIN 


        CHRISTMAS IS A TIME TO GIVE AND RECEIVE

FELLOWSHIP AND FAMILY


           In Christmas, giving of gifts and receiving is a part of the joy in all the giving. 
Fellowship with our families is the biggest part of the time at Christmas.
   In I John chapter 3. verses 1 and 2 tell us "Behold, what manner of love the 
Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God:
 therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.  Beloved, 
now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be;
 but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see
him as he is."
          Again, in I John 5.1 The Bible tells us "Whosoever believeth
 that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat 
loveth him also that is begotten of him. "   
          This is my first blog post since my HIP OPERATION on March 18th, and I am happy
 to be back to blogging again with you dear ones who will be reading my posts. 
   I pray that you have a Christ-filled Christmas and much pleasure in giving
 and receiving of gifts.   
         In Jesus we have the privilege of receiving His Love and giving of that same love  to others. 
    As we go through this Christmas, we need to be aware that New Year's Eve is just around the corner
 and this is a time of  BEGINNINGS AGAIN.      
          With the expectation of receiving a gift, we do not set it under the tree for it to 
just be looked at, without opening it.     With Jesus' who came as THE ETERNAL KING
 to give his life for all who would believe, the Angel told Joseph "Thou shalt call
 His name JESUS, for He shall save His people from their sins."  Matthew 1.21    
         The best way to celebrate Christmas is to OPEN the G I F T of  God's love,  Jesus Christ 
Him as my Lord and Savior.    The fellowship with the LORD God through the Savior  by
 the Very Presence of the Holy Ghost (Spirit) in our lives is a precious treasure to 
cherish and hold close.  
          As  I look toward a New Year, I will look to BEGINNING AGAIN
with refreshed hope and renewed 
trust in the Living God,
 our One God who is manifested to us In Three Persons,
 the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.  
May God give you His Presence in the days ahead.   

          
          
                              Luke 1. 37  WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.

THANKSGIVING - AND - TESTINGS biblebuffjournalblbieladyjunebug99

Thanksgiving and Testings

What blessing to know my Savior, Jesus Christ has given me forgiveness of sins and sent His Spirit into my whole being so that i indeed as he said would have The Comforter to be in me, the Spirit of Truth

John 15.26   When the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me.
                                   JUNE'S LILAC CORNER -

       With my Bible, and my coffee,  I find every day the strength to meet whatever life may bring me.    Philippians 4.13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth me."   Psalms 119.105 tells us "Thy word is a lamp to my feet, and a light unto my path."  Again,  Job declares "Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him; but I will maintain mine own ways before him.  He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him."  Job 13.15,16.   
     Thanksgiving is a time when people gather together and enjoy their families in our country.   It has been a matter of great concern that increasingly is not out of THANKS to GOD but more a secular idea of just "being together" and "finding comfort in friends and family".   

       It was not like that for the PILGRIMS who came on the Mayflower in 1620.     They had much testing - in illness, a strange land of which they knew nothing, and they struggled on, setting for themselves a home in the NEW LAND.    It was 1621 when they had three days of feasting and activities to celebrate their HARVEST.   Their deepest longing for a country where they could be FREE TO BELIEVE THEIR FAITH AND TO TRUST IN GOD FOR THEMSELVES was a reality.   They were thankful to God for their Blessings.   They did not take them for granted.  

       The OLD HUNDREDTH melody  From Psalm 100  Attributed to  William  Kethe, late 16th century  with the music from the Genevan Psalter  1551  by Louis Bourgeois,  about 1516    


When I visited the Plymouth Plantation in 1987 

with my husband Wm. Henry Cash, Jr. 

we noticed how small the homes were,

While there, a Pilgrim lady sang this song for us. 


              ALL PEOPLE THAT ON EARTH DO DWELL                 SING TO THE LORD WITH CHEERFUL VOICE                 HIM SERVE WITH FEAR, HIS PRAISE FORTHWITH,                 COME YE BEFORE HIM AND REJOICE.                 KNOW THAT THE LORD IS GOD INDEED;                  WITHOUT OUR AID HE DID US MAKE;                 WE ARE HIS FOLK, HE DOTH US FEED,                  AND FOR HIS SHEEP HE DOTH US TAKE.                 O ENTER THEN HIS GATES WITH PRAISE,                 APPROACH WITH JOY HIS COURTS UNTO,                 PRAISE, LAUD, AND BLESS HIS NAME                  FOR IT IS SEEMING SO TO DO.                 FOR WHY?  THE LORD OUR GOD IS GOOD,                 HIS MERCY IS FOREVER SURE,                  HIS TRUTH AT ALL TIMES FIRMLY STOOD,                 AND SHALL FROM AGE TO AGE ENDURE.                PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW,                PRAISE HIM ALL CREATURES, HERE BELOW,                PRAISE HIM ABOVE, YE HEAVENLY HOST,                 PRAISE FATHER, SON AND HOLY GHOST.  
             

 


                             My Sins Are Blotted Out, I Know !

What a wondrous message in God's Word ! 
My sins are blotted out, I know !
If I trust in His redeeming blood, 
My sins are blotted out, I know !

Chorus:   
My sins are blotted out, I know !   My sins
 are blotted out, I know !
They are buried in the depths 
of the deepest sea: 
My sins are blotted out, I know !

Once my heart was black, but now what joy, 
My sins are blotted out, I know ! 
I have peace that nothing can destroy, 

My sins are blotted out, I know ! 
I shall stand some day before my King, 
My sins are blotted out, I know ! 
With the ransomed hose, I then shall sing,
My sins are blotted out, I know ! 


     I expect Jesus to come and call for us to meet Him 
in the clouds SOON      HE IS COMING SOON      
      Until then, whatever life brings my way, I will 
give thanks and praise Him who is Worthy.   "Give thanks in everything for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."  
II Thess. 5.17

GOD'S WORD - TRUSTWORTHY - Biblelady99cash

Pressing On In God's Word 

Finding out the treasures of 
God's Word - God's Spirit will teach us.

JESUS WAS HERE AMONG US

  II Timothy 2.15
Study To Show Thyself Approved Unto God
a workman that needeth not to be ashamed,
rightly dividing the word of truth. 

  1.          How wonderful it is to know that the Lord Jesus Christ who told Peter to cast his net to catch fish, after they had toiled all night and got nothing, and here they were, mending their nets, and he who knew nothing about fishing told them to CAST THEIR NETS OUT -   Peter said, well, I don't think it do any good, but I will.
              Oh my !  Aren't we like that today?    The harvest is ripe for the taking, and we hesitate -  what if nothing takes the bait?  What if ?  We have so many reasons to keep us from the excitement of having a FULL NET THAT IS ABOUT TO BREAK so that Peter and his brother had to ask for help from the others on another boat.
              The purpose Jesus had in coming to be among us was to manifest who the Father was, and is, and always will be.  He perfectly showed us in the Bible who our God really is, and how much He cares for us.

I AM A PILGRIM 


WHEN NOAH ENTERED THE ARK, GOD SHUT THE DOOR.

                HE WAS SAFE INSIDE, WITH HIS WIFE, WITH HIS SONS, AND WITH THEIR WIVES.  EIGHT PEOPLE.
  
            I AM SAFE INSIDE THE "ARK OF SAFETY" FOR I HAVE PLACED MY FAITH IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST FOR MY SALVATION.   IT IS BY HIS UNDESERVED FAVOR IN MY LIFE, THAT I HAVE RECEIVED FROM HIM, THE CLEANSING OF MY SOUL FROM ALL SIN, AND I AM NOW BOUND FOR HEAVEN AS A PILGRIM.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR A PILGRIM: 

   TRAVEL LIGHT.
                 HEBREWS 12. 1,2   
               "Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, dispising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."  
     
        I MUST KNOW WHO I AM.  I walk ever onward, shining His light in the darkness.   
             John 17.20   Jesus prayed "neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word."   
             John 10.27 "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me."   As a member of His flock, I know His voice, and will follow Him.
   

Wherever we roam

We may call it HOME

Mountains and lakes

Rivers and streams

Valleys and meadows

Shadows and sunlight


              I John 4.15  "Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God."  
              John 8.12 "I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." 


    I MUST KNOW MY KING.  - The Shepherd. -  Wherever, whatever happens as I pilgrim in this world, Jesus is the King of my life.  He is with me wherever I am.
                John 10.14   "I am the good Shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine."   John 10. 4 "And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice."
                 John 17.3   "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent."   

Abraham left Ur knowing God had promised
a place.  

     I MUST KNOW WHERE I AM GOING.   
         Hebrews 11.10  By faith Abraham..."looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God." 
          John 14.3   "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself: that where I am, ye may be also."   
      I MUST KEEP THINGS IN PERSPECTIVE.  


          I Peter 3.14,15   But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled, but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear."  
         John 2.14  "Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst: but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life."    
        I MUST BANK ON GOD'S PROMISES TO BE WITH ME IN EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO ME.
         Romans chapter 8.14 "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God."    
         Romans 8.28 "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His Purpose."   
         John 6.39   "And this is the Father's will that sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day."  
               I MUST DRESS APPROPRIATELY FOR 
                     THE JOURNEY.     
           Ephesians 6: 10 - 20   Put on my spiritual armor
           Matthew 6.33    Seek God first 
            Matthew 7.1 - 12   Keep the right attitude
          I MUST KNOW WHERE MY RESOURCE IS FOUND.
             Galatians 2.20 God's Faith in me.
              Philippians 4.13   For anything God asks me to do, He will enable.
              Ephesians 2.14 - 18   
                            He will give peace, because He is peace.  

           TRUSTING THAT I WILL ARRIVE AT
            MY FINAL DESTINATION, I CHOOSE TO PUT
             MY RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD ABOVE EVERY
             OTHER RELATIONSHIP.

      Colossians 2.6,7 
                     AS YOU HAVE THEREFORE RECEIVED 
CHRIST JESUS THE LORD, SO WALK YE IN HIM, ROOTED AND BUILT UP IN HIM, AND STABLISHED IN THE FAITH AS YE HAVE BEEN TAUGHT, ABOUNDING THEREIN WITH THANKSGIVING.  

            IN MY NEXT POST, I WILL SHARE MORE ABOUT  THE PILGRIM JOURNEY.
