“Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are?” (Matthew 6:26 NLT)

Jesus is all I need!

This morning I had the sweetest quiet time with God. And later on, while facing some scary financial challenges, I felt an aggressive pressure, a whirlwind of fatiguing smoke, hovering over my head. Before that awful feeling could weaken my faith, I caught a glimpse of the Lord sitting on His throne on glorious white clouds. I sensed His loving kindness chasing me, strengthening me. Jesus is all that matters, just a glimpse of His presence makes it all right!

God is above all and the giant over my head shrunk to nothing before the August, Majestic Presence of God Almighty! My small world was shaken, but God’s domain is beyond description! I sensed His wealth in heaven and on earth and I know I will not be ashamed. I rest in the reality of His greatness!

Aggressive pressure, a whirlwind of fatiguing smoke, hovering over my head.

“But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God.” (John 1:12 NLT).

It hit me hard when I realized that in a split second I have free access to the throne of God!

When I call my doctor to make an appointment, an answering service answers.

“ We are currently in the process to implement a new telephone system in order to better serve you.”

The voice asks me for information that I’m not even aware of. If by chance I can satisfy that machine, I am forced to listen to a concert of music not of my choice. After I don’t know how long, I am presented with a human voice that will search for everything related to my existence. With all that information and more time on hold with the music blaring, the right person finally picks up the phone.

So I must wait longer so that I can get the right day and time for my appointment. wow, even writing it tires me! All that waiting is just to make an appointment.

And to speak with the Creator of the Universe, I only have to say: “Father, in the name of Jesus”. And the Throne of God is wide open for me.

The moment I believed that the Lord Jesus Christ is the Son of God, He gave me the right to be His child. And when a son of God calls out to Jesus, the Majestic Throne of God is thrown open, no questions asked!

This is an indescribable privilege!

I found a hidden treasure that cures all diseases and solves all problems. I live in constant amazement like a little child making wonderful discoveries. I found the solution for all my difficulties and problems. No ailment can assail me because I found the cure. No circumstance can stand in my way, I found the solution!

It may sound arrogant in my finding, but it’s quite the opposite. You can also find it. I share this blessing with humility and great respect for the reader. Everything we see in creation was made by the Word of God. And He created man and gave him the power to give life or death through the word.

“The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences.” (Proverbs 18:21 NLT).

The wonderful hidden treasure that I found is in the Book of Luke, chapter 17, verse 6.

“The Lord answered, “If you had faith as big as a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Pull yourself up by the roots and plant yourself in the sea!’ and it would obey you.” (Luke 17:6 GNT).

Awe at the magnificent Word of God

Today, still in bed sometime about 3:00 AM and for the entire time, until 5:00 AM, I was meditating on how effective Your Word is. It does not cease to amaze me each time I declare Luke 17:6 in any situation. I am amazed at how quickly I see the problem slipping away.

Thanks to the Living Word of God, I am in perfect health. I am 75 years old and there is no type of medication in my house. Just by speaking the Word of God, the disease goes away and any other problem vanishes.

You can do the same, start reading the Bible and visit a church where you can learn. If you do not have the joy of knowing the Lord, you can do it right now. Tell Him:

“Lord Jesus, come into my heart, I receive you as my only Savior, forgive my sin and write my name in the book of life. Thank you for giving me eternal life. Amen!”

I’m reading the Book of Lamentations and my soul is well established. I am gravitating in solid atmosphere of peace and sweet tranquility.

Last year this very day at 10:40 AM, I read this third chapter, when I got to verse 24 I burst into unbearable groans for ODP.

“I say to myself, “The Lord is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in him!” ( Lamentations 3:24 NLT).

If I am not mistaken, our condition is worse now than then, less people and very bad finances. But there is a lioness inside my soul with her eyes fixed on her Conquering King without fearing anything!

I shall not be moved, my hope is fed by the river that flows from the throne of God. The river that never runs dry! I’m on my feet, ready to leap over the mountains and bounding over the hills! I am strong because the faith of Christ is operating His work in and through me! I have my mind on things above where my Beloved Savior is! Therefore, I can’t be anxious!

“Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth.” (Colossians 3:2 NLT).

I calmly long to meet a man, one that be sick of love for the Lord, a kind of Bible scholar, filled with the Spirit, in the secular, very intellectual, healthy, with a fit body, he may be 2 years younger or older than me.

I eagerly long to meet that man so that he will be my friend. I dont want to waste the precious time God gives us, but I want to harbor, cultivate my time with a man of God with a similar experience to mine. I wish that man can lavish me with Godly friendship. I am not looking for romantic relationship, I’m looking for David-Jonathan kind of friendship. I need that friendship of Proverbs 27:17.

In reality, I think I am looking for that man of God who can be my mentor. I give myself to my biological and spiritual children. I pour my life to the ministry and I’m content and satisfied, however, I am harboring the idea of that friend. But in a introspective look, I’m not so sure I want it. I’m afraid it’s a utopia of something I longed for in my teenage years. I think this is the end of my search. My disjunctive is reconciled! It is well with my soul!

Wow, It’s amazing how writing has such a power that I call, a therapeutic mystery! No wonder the Lord told the prophet to write down the vision.

“…. Write down clearly on tablets what I reveal to you, so that it can be read at a glance.” (Habakkuk 2:2 ).

When you write to God, Psalms 32:8, takes shape and form in your thoughts.

“The Lord says, “I will teach you the way you should go; I will instruct you and advise you.”

(Psalm 32:8 GNT).

Nobody can advise us better than the Lord. When you set your thoughts on writing to the Lord, He will instruct your thinking . Since you have been in His presence, because your mind is in Him as you write, you will be refreshed. The craving you thought you had takes another turn. You realize that was not what you really wanted. Then the real yearning of your heart intensifies and you get that joy that is unspeakable!

Just a little talk with Jesus makes it right, as the song says! And you can discover the therapeutic mystery of writing!

Everyone who is born has the immutable reality that he will pass through the chamber of death. Death is the most hated entity that exists. In my opinion, the reason is because of the cruel interruption to such a perfect triune union. The thought of separation tears the innermost part of a human being. It is the first thing that causes terror to the human soul.

Man is the masterpiece of Almighty God:

And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul” (Genesis KJV).

Death separates the perfect triunity of a person, which is made up of immaterial and material parts.

The immaterial parts: The spirit, which is the breath of God in us and our means to communicate with Him.

The soul, which is the seat of our personality. It perceives the psychological realm through our minds, emotions and will.

Material part: The body is the physical structure that allows us to use the five senses (sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch) to relate to the material realm.

Actually, the body houses the immaterial parts of our being and it is wonderful!

“I will praise you, for You made me with fear and wonder; marvelous are Your works, and You know me completely.” (Psalms 139:14 MEV).

Relentless death breaks in and destroys such a wonderful trinity! And that is devastating! So, why death? Because that is the wages of sin. Death was not the original plan, it came as a result of sin. Death means separation from God, the Source of life. Due to sin, humanity became all kinds of evil. So death frees us from those evil minds like Hitler and many as such. Can you imagine Hitler alive forever, what the world would be like ? So, in a way, physical death can be a way to protect humanity.

So clearly it is understood that physical death is not an option. We will all experience physical death, but praise God, not everyone will experience eternal death. The real tragedy is spiritual death, physical death is for a time. But spiritual death is so horrible because you can be dead right now and not know it and in the end it will be eternal damnation. Our soul will never die, it will spend eternity where you choose while you are in this physical body. John 3:16 gives us the way to go to eternal life.

“For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not die but have eternal life.” (John 3:16 GNT).

So physical death is not an option, there is nothing you can do to avoid it. But, eternal life is a choice, you can choose to believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is the Son of God. That He died for your sin and God raised Him from the dead and if you invite Him to come into your heart and be your Savior, you will have eternal life. See John 3:17, isn’t that wonderful?

“For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world should be saved through him.” (John 3:17 NET).
