May the Lord use this meditative spiritual Prayerpoem to encourage you tonight.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, may You bless all who read this prayerpoem,
Fill each heart with every assurance of Your love for them, of Your divine reality, though we cannot see You with our physical eyes nor hear Thee with our ears, but with our hearts only in this world, help Thy children know and believe that You made them to love them.
Despite every sorrow and dark storm and suffering that afflicts their lives You see what they are going through.
Lord, You are indeed with every child even as You were with Thy only Son on the cross, and You will not forsake Your child who is suffering.
Thy Word promises that neither death nor life can separate the child of God from Christ’s love, for Christ suffered death that Thy children could have everlasting life and peace with God forever.
Father, comfort Thy children tonight with these thoughts, thank You, Lord, we love You, ~ In Jesus’ name amen.
❤️🙏🏽 Suzanne
Two Faces
Two Faces
The prayer poem Two Faces is inspired from a dream I had the other night.
In the poem I describe my vision of the two faces of the Lord Jesus Christ and when I woke up I was very upset and prayed as I always do about the dreams the Lord gives me for He very often speaks to me through His Word when I ask what my dreams mean. So He gave me a few verses to meditate on as well as the prayer poem. After reading the poem, and praying see how many more bible verses the Holy Spirit inspires you to find to meditate on. He will teach you many things to be sure! May God bless and encourage you as you study and ponder His word and spend time in fellowship with Him today. In Jesus’ name, amen,
Here are some verses.
ENCOURAGING SCRIPTURES
”He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world didn’t recognize Him. He came to his own, and those who were His own didn’t receive Him.
But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become God’s children, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.“ John 1:10-13 WEBUS
”In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him. Without Him, nothing was made that has been made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn’t overcome it.“
John 1:1-5 WEBUS
”Even if our Good News is veiled, it is veiled in those who are dying, in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving,
that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ,
who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.
For we don’t preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake, seeing it is God who said,
“Light will shine out of darkness,” who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.“
2 Corinthians 4:3-6 WEBUS
Therefore I urge you, brothers,
by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice,
holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.
Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed
by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove
what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.“
Romans 12:1-2 WEBUS
”Jesus answered, “My Kingdom is not of this world.
If my Kingdom were of this world,
then my servants would fight,
that I wouldn’t be delivered to the Jews.
But now my Kingdom is not from here.”
Pilate therefore said to him, “Are you a king then?”
Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king.
For this reason I have been born, and for this reason
I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth.
Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.”“
John 18:36-37 WEBUS
”Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you don’t believe.
The works that I do in My Father’s name, these testify about Me.
But you don’t believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I told you.
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
I give eternal life to them.
They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.
My Father who has given them to Me is greater than all.
No one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.
I and the Father are one.”“
John 10:25-30 WEBUS
”Therefore Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love Me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven’t come of Myself, but He sent Me.
Why don’t you understand My speech?
Because you can’t hear My word.
You are of your father the devil,
and you want to do the desires of your father.
He was a murderer from the beginning,
and doesn’t stand in the truth,
because there is no truth in him.
When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own;
for he is a liar, and the father of lies.
Which of you convicts me of sin?
If I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me?
He who is of God hears the words of God.
For this cause you don’t hear, because you are not of God.”
John 8:42-44, 46-47 WEBUS
God Will Be Waiting
Most people assume that when someone becomes a Christian that their lives will be a glorious paradise afterwards.
That it will be as if Christ had come and whisked them off to Heaven and they will henceforth have no more troubles in this life.
But my walk with the Lord has been just the opposite.
And from my study of scripture, the Gospel teaches that Christians should expect suffering as a normal part of their journey with Christ.
One is either called to suffer or to serve those who are suffering.
There are no two ways about it.
Jesus said, “And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after Me, is not worthy of Me. He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for My sake shall find it.” Matthew 10:38-39 KJV
All God’s children are equal and the Lord has no favorites.
Jesus said, “““…You are all equal as brothers and sisters…Whoever serves you like a servant is the greatest among you. People who think they are better than others will be made humble. But people who humble themselves will be made great.” Matthew 23:8-12 ERV
I live with an autoimmune illness that causes me to suffer from chronic daily migraines. These have been all but unbearable in the past few months. But for the grace of my precious Savior, I could not survive them.
When Christ saves a soul, it is not to take us out of this world, but to help us overcome it through His power, strength and grace.
Only Christ’s presence within me enables me to survive through the darkness of this illness.
Any artist or photographer who works primarily with graphics or photography software will be familiar with a function known as the invert tool that reverses an image from light to dark.
During severe migraines all of the light goes out of my heart and it’s as if I have been transposed into a shadowland of darkness.
I cry out to Christ to reverse me back into His world of light and love where there is peace, hope, and joy.
For in the inverted world of darkness there is no joy, hope, or peace, only intense suffering and pain.
Oh Jesus, I pray! Guard my heart from the world of darkness in this place of trouble and fear and pain.
And Jesus comes and holds my hand. He is with me in the storm and guides me safely through.
For His Word promises, “…Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me; Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.” Psalm 23:3-4 KJV
And He keeps every promise forever. Psalm 146:6
He promises “… I will never leave you; I will never run away from you.” Hebrews 13:5 ERV
“Be strong and be brave. Don’t be afraid of those people because the Lord your God is with you. He will not fail you or leave you.””
Deuteronomy 31:6 ERV
God brings the soul who trusts in Him through their trials.
He has proved Himself faithful time and again as my saving strength.
No amount of prosperity, fame, money or anything material will purchase peace, joy, or health.
If one comes to Christ seeking Him for material blessings they will be sadly disappointed. For He is not found in secular things that can be lost in the blink of an eye. I lost my health in an instant and my world was upended in the prime of my life. Never would I have suspected that I would lose something I had taken so much for granted.
Christ is a spiritual God who will be there for the soul even when they have lost everything else in this world.
For the world and everything we see around us is passing away, and when it is gone, God will be there waiting for every child who believed, hoped, and trusted in Him all along.
Jesus said, “These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 KJV
In Jesus’ name, amen.
