More to think about

Hi everybody ……. :)
Monday – Monday – Monday!!! Been thinking and thinking about which inspirational to send your way next. They are all good, at least I think so. Let me take another look through my folder and see which one jumps out at me.
Ok – The Holy Spirit showed me two that would go really good together. The first one will give you something to really think about and the second one will show you where you will find all the answers to your questions.

Skeletons

How many skeletons do you have hanging in your closet? I don’t think there is one person that doesn’t have at least one hanging in their closet, hopefully collecting dust.
Those skeletons are what Jesus died for, our sins and the more dust they collect, the better we are in walking with our Lord. But look out for Satan, he is constantly tempting us to reach in there, grab hold of that skeleton and shake off the dust. Sometimes it’s hard isn’t it, standing there, looking at that skeleton and all the feel good fleshy desires that it brought us.
Acts 3:19 – Repent ye therefore, and be converted {turn again}, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;
There are times when I open that closet door and there before me are my many skeletons just waiting for me to grab one or more and shake the dust from them and appease Satan with a victory. My walk with Christ will not allow this to happen. Many times I have seen those skeletons hanging there. At first they scared me, wanting me to reach out to them. But I quickly learned that all I had to do was ask the Lord to remove them from my sight and He would Lovingly shut that door once again.
It is not our Lord God that opens that closet door, it is our own weak fleshy desires that Satan preys upon. It could be a word, a smell/odor, or something we see and the door to our skeleton closet is opened, temptation staring back at us, urging us to reach out and grab sin by the hand and go for a disgraceful walk with Lucifer. Matthew 26:41 – Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
It does not matter where your walk is with Jesus, shut your eyes, fold your hands and ask our Lord God to shut that door. No matter how many times in a day, week, month or year, he will shut that door every time, all you need to do is ask. II. Thessalonians 3:3 – But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.
Thank you Lord for everything you have done, everything are doing, and everything that will be done. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.



Look around you my brothers and sisters!
Do you see her?
You can’t miss her!
She’s right here before you.
She’s as big as life itself!
What is she you ask?
The most wonderful thing you can take a ride on!
She’s been around for a long time.
Been feared and hated, scorned and torn, beaten,
bruised and burned, and yet she still survives
because of all those who try to understand her,
live by her and love her.
She was once only meant for High Priests
And has only been within our grasp for a few
hundred years.
I call her the Ark of Life
And why not? It seems only appropriate.
Back in the pages of Genesis God had Noah build an
Ark to float on the waters he sent forth to cleanse
the earth of all sin.
In the pages of Exodus God commissioned an Ark
of the Covenant be built for the High Priests to
make tithes and offerings and commune with him.
And Jesus, God’s only son, was and still is, the Ark of
Mercy and Grace.
And the whole time these things were coming about,
And much much more
The Bible, the Word of God, the Good Book,
Gods Ark of life, was being put together
for generations to come so that we might sail on
into that eternal life with our Father God through
his Son and our Lord and Savior, Jesus.
Do you see her now? She’s bigger than life itself!
Step on board and feel your luggage, your burdens
be lifted from you.
Feel God’s Mercy, Grace and Love surround you.
Your seas may get ruff at times
But with Jesus at the helm
She will never sink!!!
Thank you Father God. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

Well, there they are. Until next time –
Remember, JLY & MGBYAKY

  1. Great post Skippy! As you continue to grow, you'll find. more skeletons joining those in your closet. It's sometimes hard to put them in there, but Papa will give you what you need to finally stuff them in. And then you'll find even more freedom, peace and joy.

    Love that poem about the Ark. Good work. Shalom,Spitfire
