  Fill my Cup Lord to Overflowing Running on Empty Have you ever ran out of gas? I did once, and fortunately it was at my friends house where I had come to visit. The gas station was a couple blocks away and the attendant loaned me a gas can and told me how to put a little bit of gas in the carburetor and then in the tank. That was a lesson I learned that day about keeping my tank full and not allowing it to get below a certain mark. I was reminded of a chorus we used to sing: Fill my cup, Lord; I lift it up Lord; Come and quench this thirsting of my soul. Bread of Heaven, feed me till I want no more. Fill my cup, fill it up and make me whole. This hymn is asking God to do everything and not taking any responsibility for seeking God's face, spending time praying in other tongues, and reading the Bible. We should not pray because we feel obligated, or pressured or need to follow a set of rules, but we should pray because we are in love with Jesus and desire to be in His pres

  Who is Jesus? Chapter 28; Jesus heals a Blind man on the Sabbath Day;  from John 9) Jesus had been teaching at the temple in Jerusalem, and a s he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.     And his disciples asked him, “Master, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”     Jesus answered,  “It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be done in him.”   Having said these things, Jesus spit on the ground and made mud with the saliva. Then he anointed the man's eyes with the mud   and said to him,  “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam.”   So he went and washed and came back seeing.   The neighbors and those who had seen him before as a beggar were saying, “Is not this the man who used to sit and beg?”   Some said, “It is he.” Others said, “No, but he looks like him.” But he kept saying, “I am the man.”     So they said to him, “Then how were your eyes opened?”     He answered,  “The man called Jesus made mud and anointed m

  Who is Jesus? Part 27 "Jesus Walks on the Water"   After this, Jesus crossed over to the far side of the Sea of Galilee, also known as the Sea of Tiberias. A huge crowd kept following him wherever he went, because they saw his miraculous signs as he healed the sick. Then Jesus climbed a hill and sat down with his disciples around him. Jesus soon saw a huge crowd of people coming to look for him. Turning to Philip, he asked, “Where can we buy bread to feed all these people?” He was testing Philip, for he already knew what he was going to do. Philip replied, “Even if we worked for months, we wouldn’t have enough money  to feed them!” Then Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, spoke up. “There’s a young boy here with five barley loaves and two fish. But what good is that with this huge crowd?” Jesus said, “Tell everyone to sit down, in groups of 50 or 100.” So they all sat down on the grassy slopes. (The men alone numbered about 5,000.)  Then Jesus took the loaves, gave tha

  Hearts Failing for Fear We live in a fearful time for many of our citizens;  I am reminded of the verses in Luke 21:25-27 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draws nigh. What is Fear? Wikipedia says it this way: Fear  is an  emotion  induced by perceived danger or  threat , which causes physiological changes and ultimately  behavioral  changes, such as fleeing, hiding, from perceived traumatic events. - - Fear in human beings may occur in response to a certain stimulus occurring in the present, or in anticipation or e

  Evacuate NOW  !! Did Your Routine ever get Messed With? Change happens and often it is quickly without warning.   We go about the normal things we do every morning and suddenly there is a direct upset in everything. We are told, it is time to evacuate and for your personal safety it is wise to heed the call. There is no time to consider a different plan, but the one that presents itself in our face is the one we should take. Adam and Eve were faced with evacuation, or you might say eviction. They were to leave with only the animal skin clothing on their backs and, they were not returning in a few days because never to go back - was the sad fact. A new way of life awaited them, and adjustments had to be made. God's promises are sure and He could have said something like this to them, as recorded in Proverbs - - and in the Psalms. Proverbs 3:5-6 - Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He

  Who is Jesus? Chapter 26  Jesus Teaches about Life - From Matthew 7 High up on the mountain was a favorite place for Jesus to use as a place of solitude, but the crowds often followed him.  Then he would find a place to sit where they could hear him teach.   On one occasion they asked Jesus to teach them to pray and he gave them an example:   1. Address God as your father:  " Our Father which is in heaven" - -2. Tell Him you recognize he is Holy:   "Hallowed be your name."   3. Give Him permission for His will to be done on earth:  " Your Kingdom Come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven."   4. Ask Him for your daily provision:  " Give us this day our daily bread," 5. Ask for personal forgiveness and help us to forgive others : "and Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us."   6. Ask for assistance to avoid evil and to live right: "Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil,"   7.

  Who is Jesus? Part 25 The Healing at the Pool on the Sabbath After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, in Aramaic  called Bethesda, which has five roofed porches. In these lay a great many invalids; blind, lame, and paralyzed.  One man was there who had been an invalid for 38 years.   When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been there a long time, Jesus asked him,  “Do you want to be healed?”   The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, and while I am going another steps down before me.”  Jesus said to him,  “Get up, take up your bed, and walk.”   And at once the man was healed, and he took up his bed and walked. Now the day was the Sabbath.  So the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath, and it is against the law for you to take up your bed today.”  But he answered them, “The man who healed me, t

  Stay in the House and be Safe Stay home, and be Safe.   Don't be around others, if you do go out, keep your distance from people. Wear a mask and be Safe. These instructions have put a fear in the hearts of our citizens, and many are trying to abide by these rules, but find it not only difficult but mind altering. If we would allow our thoughts to wander, there are many things that we could be fearful of. We should not fear death itself, but we do fear a long and lingering painful death. We may be fearful that the food supply will dwindle and we will starve and die. The enemy would like to plague you with doubts and visions of what might be. Proverbs 26:13 speaks about the lazy person, who says, they have decided not to work, but to stay home and be safe, because there is a lion in the streets. Our imagination will project all kinds of reasons why we need to stay home to be safe. What does God say about all this protection that we think will keep us safe He knows t
