STORMS.. some thoughts regarding Houston and Florida

So as I sit and I watch.. first Houston..Tx and surrounding..  then the islands.. Cuba and Florida.  The Lord had given.. some dreams of this to come.. others He gave words to.. others.. He burdened deep.. that the Church is still not repenting.. still complacent and Lukewarm   Many perhaps look at Florida and say just as they said to the Prophet Jonah..  saying.. see God did not bring His Judgement..I say perhaps.. the Lord did pull back and show some Mercy and pulled back some.  I do have more to say on another Post regarding.. things noted in these storms.

 "Who knows, God may turn and relent and withdraw His burning anger so that we will not perish." When God saw their deeds, that they turned from their wicked way, then God relented concerning the calamity which He had declared He would bring upon them. And He did not do it. 

Jonah 3:9-10

and Jonah.. became displeased.. I pray that none of the Prophets get angry... as the Lord did show compassion .. Jonah felt he may as well just die.. Probably feeling a bit of a fool that no one would not take him as credible. 

But it greatly displeased Jonah and he became angry. He prayed to the LORD and said, "Please LORD, was not this what I said while I was still in my own country? Therefore in order to forestall this I fled to Tarshish, for I knew that You are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, and one who relents concerning calamity. Therefore now, O Lord, please take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live!”

Then the Lord said, “Is it right for you to be angry?”

Jonah 4:1-4

What is a wonderful thing is True repentance can move the heart of God.. Sadly many just cry out to god in days of trouble and also sadly.. thought in joy I say.. many do truly repent.. we see as we look back on times of great tragedy potential tragedy that as time moves on.. people.. forget and become complacent once again.  

The Lord wants to be our first Love..not our after thought that we run to in times of trouble. Sadly.. we go through our lives and focus.. on me myself and I.. well Im entitled.. Right.. After all it is my life..However the Lord has created us to bring Him glory not our own self.   

We run to Him.. when we are in times of the Valley.. but when we are in times of the mountaintop.. we often forget Him.  Also sadly many blame God when they finds themselves in times of trouble but that will be a whole other post. 

As I sit and watch.. man helping man I cannot help but think.. well why Lord do they just now do this.. as prior to lets say.. Houston.. We Your People.. were we out there in our communities.. or within our Family unit of the Church helping one another.. serving as The Lord showed us we must do.  One of the Last acts The Lord did was washing the disciples feet .
So when He had washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down again, He said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you?  You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am.  If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.  For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. 16 Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him.  If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

John 13:12-17

Are YOU Daily doing the example the Lord left for us to follow?  Are YOU serving Your brother and Sister In the Lord? Or are You all about.. self.. your agenda.. or are You about the Lords and what HE says for YOU to do..TRULY 

GIFTS and God Will verses Gods Permissible Will

Sometimes... a Gift.. well .. You need to say no to.. sometimes.. you have accepted and need to return the gift.. as the gift is not from the Father.. but one who.. well.. controls with the gift.. Know all gifts that come in beautiful packages are not from the Lord.. ask the Lord if from Him.. or another... the enemy will really try and get you side tracked.. and well in a web of control.. sometimes.. it is even in a relationship.. all looks so perfect.. all Your prayers answered... but were they... sometimes and was that the LORDS PERFECT will for you.. You must step back and ask the Lord.. is this truly from You... or is it a set up... to take me off track.. or perhaps are you just giving me for what I asked.. and I neglected to ask is this Your Perfect will.. as sometime He will give you what you ask.. being His permissible will.. but far from His Perfect will

TIME.. SO PRECIOUS

Time .. So precious .. Have you ever stopped to Count the moments wasted .. Time and energy spent on Unforgiveness .. Or blaming someone for not acting as you feel they should .. Time wasted in quarrels .. Time wasted in mindless sitcoms .. Time wasted ..cell phones .. FB .. Moments that are a gift from God .. Time .. Tics away until .. One day .. It stops .. Time .. To be used wisely . Forgive .. Let go .. And do the Fathers will .. Time .. We will be accountable for .. Our time .. wasted on talking about how you feel someone has done you wrong .. If your so busy looking at what you feel they did and not stepping back and checking self .. Time wasted ..don't let yourself and your desires step over the moments you could have shared with another .. To share. .. To love . To hold .. Don't waste your precious time .. Priorities ! don't take that next breath for granted ..Say the I love you while you can .. More important .. Set aside the small issues .. The grudges ..forgive .. And let go .. Show love ..

TIME-TIC TOC.. TIC TOC..

TIME.. TIC TOC.. TIC TOC.. HOW DO YOU SPEND.. YOUR TIME.. ARE YOU READY TO MEET THE ONE.. WHO CREATED YOU.. YOU WERE BORN.. TO BRING HIM GLORY WITH YOUR TIME.. DO YOU? Would you invite the Lord to sit with you.. in ALL you have done ..lets say.. the past month.. how would He find You spent your time.. Your thoughts.. Your words.. Oh Lord Have Mercy upon me and help me to not be a waster of TIME so Blessed to have this Gift.. May I not take it lightly..

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might; for there is no activity or planning or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol where you are going. I again saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift and the battle is not to the warriors, and neither is bread to the wise nor wealth to the discerning nor favor to men of ability; for time and chance overtake them all. MOREOVER, man does not know his time: like fish caught in a treacherous net and birds trapped in a snare, so the sons of men are ensnared at an evil time when it suddenly falls on them.

Ecclesiastes 9:10-12

ARE YOU A PART OF THE DISCORD .. OR SPREADING GOSSIP OR LIES

Sometimes we just run off half calked... running in the wind.. with information we have not even checked out the validity to.  When we do that some times we are spreading the enemies lies.. or perhaps even discord.. Sometimes it is not something.. even if Truth the Lord wants us to be a part in the sharing.  Sometimes it is just something for us to take note to.  Sometimes.. Well sometimes it seems truth.. it is ever so close.. however remember.. a little bit of Leaven. Leavens the whole lump Galatians 5:9

Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough?  1 Corinthians 5:6

Ensure before You share things.. You pray for wisdom.. as some of you are sharing.. gibberish..and lies.. not everything on you tube is valid..not every written article ..is true.. and if you cant verify.. the source.. sometimes its just better.. to not share what you dont truly know.. to be TRUTH.. as that is same as gossip..spreading.. things.. that you should not.. spread..

 For I am afraid that when I come I may not find you as I want you to be, and you may not find me as you want me to be. I fear that there may be discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, slander, gossip, arrogance and disorder.  2 Corinthians 12:20

Do not spread false reports. Do not help a guilty person by being a malicious witness.  Exodus 23:1

 Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless.
James 1:26.

Some times.. We just need to quit being so nosey.. sometimes we are so nosey.. because we want to Control.. and we dont like..not knowing.. everything.. even when it isnt relevant for us to know.. Sometimes.. we are that way.. so we dont have to... well.. look at our own self.. its easier to try to "control" those around us.. instead of letting go..of the Control.. within Us.. Sometimes the Lord is rat a tat tatting upon on door to our own heart.. saying Give up that CONTROL its a form..of witchcraft.. hmmm (manipulation, domination, intimidation.. (forms of control) , Child of God.. Let the Lord.. deliver You.. let it go..let it go..let it go! ~marni~j~j~
