Arrived today in Tel Aviv. My hotel overlooks the Mediterranean Sea. A quote from 66 LL in the Acts chapter pervades my thinking. I am dealing with a besetting sin alongside of anguish that God knows is real. But this day, this place, there is Resurrection Power for what I face. “My Power is more evident than ever in your desire for Me that no agony of soul or fall into sin can destroy.” I have to keep embracing what is going on in my heart --- My Desire for God cannot be destroyed. Nothing can separate me from Him. Absolutely. If your desire for God is not there, you must wonder and contemplate who blew out the flame.
Acts 11:18 God has broken through, opened us all up to Life.
Acts 11:23 Barnabas went to check on the church in Antioch and saw God was behind all of this. Barnabas “threw himself in with them, got behind them, urging them to stay with it the rest of their lives.” This is such a word from God to me this day. Throw myself in. All in.
Acts 12:7 An angel had to shake Peter to wake him up in his prison cell. Chained to 2 soldiers, he still slept like a baby. What peace that passes understanding. No worry there. Rescued from Herod’s precious production. Here lies my anguish as I was awakened last night for the first time in many months in sheer terror of a nightmare of death by suffocation. In Jesus Name, the terror flees. He is the Lifter of my Head! Psalm 3:3.
