December 23 ... II Peter 1 - 3 "God Knows How to Rescue Me from Evil"

~TRUST THE TRUTH ~
II Peter 1:2-4 - It's the intervention of our God that is life-changing in experience.  May grace and peace be many times over to you as you deepen in your experience. It's His Power that has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness.  Not trusting experiences, but trusting Truth.  The Way, The Truth, the Life.  "You now share in My Nature.  You have within you the Power necessary to resist every natural impulse that stands in the way of loving others as I love you.  Neither fear, failure, nor temptation is stronger than the Divine Power available to you that can keep you walking the narrow road to life."  66 LL.

~GOD IS RESCUING YOU ~
II Peter 2:9 God knows how to rescue the godly from evil trials. And he knows how to hold the feet of the wicked to the fire until Judgment Day. Last night I awakened from a dream and could barely talk, barely breathe.  It's a feeling like I am going to die.  More so, a feeling that I am losing touch with reality.  Can't explain it.  Terrifying.  Happens about twice a year.  From the moment I cry out to God, it goes away and I fall right back to sleep.  So grateful that He is holding me and holding evil back.  Deeply moved by this verse in 2:9 with what just happened to me that there is no explanation.

~SO LIVE A HOLY LIFE ~
God's Message: "My Plan for your life is not at risk. I know how to rescue My children from their worst problem, through all their difficulties. II Peter 3:11-  Live a holy life.   Daily expect the Day of God.  What sort of people ought you be in lives of holiness and godliness?

  1. Peace, Purity, Salvation.

    It is impossible to experience any of the above without the sacrifice of Christ. Today, most precious pearls, rest in the knowledge of your salvation, knowing that purity of the mind, of the heart and peace of spirit is an ongoing process which comes through living everyday trials trusting in faith of our Saviour.

    2 Peter 3: 14 -16 "So, my dear friends, since this is what you have to look forward to, do your very best to be found living at your best, in purity and peace. Interpret our Master's patient restraint for what it is: salvation."

  2. So comforting to know that no matter how bad things are going on around you in your personal world and then in the bigger sphere of the whole world....God has it ALL under control and His plan will not be stopped and is continuing. What hope that should put in each of our hearts to steadfastly cling to. Blessings on your time with your families. Sweet Bev, may yours be extra special for your faithfulness to post every day no matter what is going on or no matter where you are in the world. Your obedience and faithfulness to share Him will be rewarded.
