Ditch of Isolation

Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

For we have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Hebrews 4:14-16


I don't know about you but sometimes it seems I get myself stuck in a spiritual rut or proverbial ditch of sin and cannot seem to get out of it on my own.  

Isolation is my ditch, and I am well acquainted with since my teenage years.  I don't know about you, but any cycle of sin we fall into is like a domino effect with other sins we think we can go ahead and commit them, and that is a great lie from our enemy the devil.

We need people and people need us...I am coming to believe that isolation is a great sin for me. I have no excuse...I cannot hide out and live in the darkness, and while doing that falling back into old sin patterns.  There is a perfect balance in having a quiet time and devoting that time to spending it with God. Thut is not isolation but quality time in seeking Jesus, with spending time in His Word and praying to him opening up our heart and worshiping in the secret place.

I have always been an introvert and loner and that is a great imbalance in my life, the way I see it.

Now I am well aware of the fact that during Jesus' ministry on this earth, He had to be alone at times to spend time with Abba. I am sure our Lord and Savior spent sweet times of fellowship and refreshing in the presence of the Father and pouring out His heart, and it was difficult to break away from Him, so He could bring salvation to all people through His relationship with His Father...and he did that and is still at work within you and I to give out that hope for the nations.

But once we realize we are in that dark pit there is no way we can get out of it alone.  Only God is able to get us out of that dark dungeon...that ditch full of seclusion!  I don't know about you, but I have not been coming boldly unto that throne room of grace to obtain that mercy and to find that grace I so desperately need. I needed this scripture tonight because I've in that dark rut of seclusion for several weeks now, and the only way to come out of that isolation is to come confidently just as I am to very throne of Jesus...There and only there will I find the amazing grace and neverending mercy is there with me wherever I am...Our Abba will not reject us nor treat us like a reproach.  We all are His beloved, and when one of us suffers we all suffer

OH, sweet Abba, forgive me for isolating from life. Jesus never done that and I know he doesn't want that for me. So right now, I come boldly with confidence to your very throne Jesus, you will never forsake me, but you fill me with Your Holy Spirit and bring me out of that isolation by your great hand...Help me to get back where I need to be in you.  Jesus, pour out your grace upon us and help us all reading this in Jesus Holy name, AMEN.

I am Covered...

  The treasure of knowing you,  Jesus where you are  right now, at this moment seated at the right hand of Abba...  let us experience all the riches of your glory pouring down upon us all we pray and seek your very face... just one glance from those eyes of fire searching the deepest part of our soul... yet still seeing us as your beloved who longs to worship you in all your power and majesty,  we bow our lives before You lifting our hearts of worship as sweet incense... ~~~ You are my King reigning upon your throne over the nations... come Lord Jesus take us to be with you forever and ever... that is where I long to be covered in your grace just like a parent cuddles a young child. you wrap me up in your loving care... I love You so much Jesus and cannot wait for that day... until then  embrace all me in all my hurts and fears let me feel safe from my hurtful enemies... In the name of Jesus... heal my heart.

Come Lord Jesus Come

When the dark stormy clouds surge, consuming the heavens  like a shroud covering the sky... and our faith seems to damper  like sheets of rain  pelting the earth... ~~~ Our lives seem to get carried away  with the majesty of a storm,  and the greatness of that vast darkness  as it covers the earth. ~~~ During that fearful time... God in all His sovereign grace would like to send you a great reminder... ~~~ If your life seems like a dark thunderstorm...  Because whether we admit it or not, all of us have experienced those storms in our lives... that it will be fleeting... It will pass... they will come and go in the seasons of our life the clouds will shift like sifting sands of time. The sun will shine once again... ~~~ Even though we are affected, by the storms of this life Jesus in all his grace will send beaming rays of glory at the passing of the clouds in the blue sky... ~~~ Oh Abba in Heaven rain down upon us  like the spring rains  by ...

He did All that....for Me!

  I see in a vision...  on that great and dreadful day, when Jesus walked up Calvary's Hill. He hung onto the cross for dear life He went the distance slowly walking forward, I envision Him stumble and fall  like I do at times... Then he gets back up with that heavy cross and keeps moving straight ahead... just to think, HE DID ALL THAT... For me, and so much more was transpiring  in the spirit realm The devil and his demons thought.... that that would be the end of their torment! On that dark day when He said it was finished as He breathed his last breath giving up  the Ghost.... You see that cross in the middle was actually my cross. He did all that for me.... Yes, He did and so much more  than I can see  with the naked eye You see we had to identify with Jesus... in every way to be totally free from all our sins... He set us free from our tormented foes forever... and all eternity.
