Upper Room Facility, Acts 1:13a

Upper Room Facilities

Acts 1:13a When they arrived, they went upstairs to the room where they were staying

The disciples had spent times with Jesus in the Upper Room. Before Jesus went back to heaven, he had told to go there and wait until the Spirit had clothed them (Luke 24:49). The obeyed and went there with desire.

I AM... I Will, Exodus 6:1 - 8

I AM, I Will

Exodus 6:6 “Therefore, say to the Israelites: ‘I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. I will free you from being slaves to them, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment.

God made a promise to Abram to give him the land of Canaan (Genesis 13:14 & 15). While the people of Israel lost all hope, God would keep his promise and raised up Moses. Pharoah rejected Moses' request with increased hardships and he and the Hebrews list all hope. But God talks... The I Am says he will and then he does!

A and K, when God promises, he follows through. He will keep his promises to you and carry out his way in your life. Trust him. Don't turn your back on him. Seek him out and you will find him faithful. I have experienced his grace. You can to for he is the I Am.

Wise Thought: Dont't Walk with Evil, Proverbs 414

Don't Walk with Evil

Proverbs 4:14 Do not set foot on the path of the wicked or walk in the way of evil men

It's easy to walk with the crowd. Opposition of the world pushes against those who walk God's way. If we aren't vigilant, we will walk with them. There are many who desire to walk with Christ but find it difficult. Others want too, but think that walking with the world is the way Christ walked.

Daughters, avoid the path of the wicked. The way is dark and you will certainly stumble (vs 18). Instead walk with the wise who avoid all that appears evil. Seek righteousness and you will find that although the road may seem difficult as you walk against the crowd, but you will find that the journey is as satisfying as the destination you desire.

A Place Prepared, 2 Chronicles 7:1

A Place Prepared

2 Chronicles 7:1 When Solomon finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the Lord filled the temple.

Sacrifices were offers to the Lord during the dedication of the temple.  God was so pleased with all that took place, that he supplied the fire for the offering. Then he took up residence in the placed prepared for him.

K and A, have you prepared a place in your heart for the Lord to take up residence.  Build a special place for him, redo your heart, make the sacrifices in your life that most are not willing to take to please him.  God will see how you want him and will fill you with his Spirit and you will never be the same!

Humph

I wrote one yesterday but disappeared, humph... and it was good to. But I can't remember what it was.

Whose Are You, Joshua 5:2 - 9

Whose Are You

Joshua 5:9 Then the LORD said to Joshua, "Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you." So the place has been called Gilgal to this day.

Circumcision was a covenant between God and Abraham and subsequently the people of Israel. It was a promise that they would inherit the land of Canaan and would becomes many nations, forever. In Egypt the Israelites began to believe the covenant was void. For over 300 years, they were slaves and no change was in sight. But, now they were in the Promise Land, and God reinstated the covenant he made with Abraham. Finally the reproach of Egypt could be put behind them.

Daughters, you are a child of God. He promised you a future land flowing with milk and honey. Never forget whose you are. If you are not right with him, circumcise your heart (Dt 30:6) and love the Lord your God and you will live like never before, for you are God's, never forget it.

Quick Note: Grow in Grace, 2nd Peter 3:18

Grow in Grace

Grace: gifts given to us by God. Not because we deserve them, but because he loves us. Often referring to salvation. jpb

Daughters, in 2nd Peter 3:18, Peter tells you that you need to grow in the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ in order that you will not be fooled by those who twist the Scriptures which will cause you to live unworthy lives and lose your salvation. This is s big problem today in the church just add it was in Peter's time. So grow up in your faith and keep your heart in sync with God, so you don't shrink back.
