OUR SECRETARY 7/27/05

EXPERIENCE:  One of my favorite ways to hear the Lord is knowing that He brings all things into remembrance. (John 14:26) I heavily rely on Him to bring things that I have forgotten into the focus and quicken Words and experiences of my past that are pertinent for now. And if I misplace something in the house, I have learned to always ask Him to bring it back to remembrance.

So I am getting ready for my walk and almost out the door. I had the flash impression to pick up some of my little Bible scripture cards from the bread box and take them with me. So I grabbed some to quote along my way. I could not resist looking at the first one before I got out the door. I turned to “He that believes on Me shall never thirst.” (John 6:35)

REVELATION!!! I had forgotten to get my water bottle out of the fridge to take with me on my hot walk. He was reminding me!

WORD TO PONDER: THOUGHT LIFE 1991

The enemy would seek to erode any given environment. Take effort to nurture your thought life with creativity birthed from My Spirit. Use discipline to turn from thoughts not edifying. At the same time search Me to view that thought from My perspective. You'll be surprised what I can reveal to you if you give Me this time.

I will give you guidance, wisdom, understanding, revelation, peace, freedom, deliverance and anything you need in one flash moment of remembrance of Me. I AM with you always, but I do not control. You give Me access by recognition of My silent Presence. It is in the brief moments of every day that our joy will be more complete if you can retrain your thinking to include Me.

This is not something you can do on your own, for it takes two of us to have a relationship. I need your effort and you need My help to establish this practice.

There are seasons and times when I draw close to My people. I want to draw closer to you and will place in you My yearning to draw closer to Me. If you give heed to My gentle call we will be given many precious bursts of life together in a new and meaningful way. I await your responses.

"Casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ..." (2 Corinthians 10:5)
