4/14/20 Who’s in Your Life?

“When will you begin to understand how precious each moment is? In your daily planner, have you noted to take the time to tell your mate and your children how much they mean to you? If you are a father and husband, when was the last time you laid hands on your wife and children and gave them a blessing? When was the last time you took the time to reflect on the wonderful people that I have placed in your life?

"With those questions in mind, what do you think you will wish that you had done more of when your life is almost over? Will you wish you had done more “things,” or will you desire to take back and redo the moments and opportunities you missed with those you love and those who love you?

"This very day there is probably someone you could touch deeply with a word of encouragement or a letter expressing your love for them. Don’t miss the opportunity to bless someone. I would like to tell you how much you mean to Me. You are valuable, and I love you.”

Romans 1:8 NIV

First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being reported all over the world.

Philemon v. 4-5 NIV

4) I always thank my God as I remember you in my prayers,

5) because I hear about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints.

Merry and I would like to thank each of you for who you are and who you are becoming in Christ Jesus. We feel privileged to connect with you under the Lord’s umbrella. It encourages us tremendously to know that there are people all over the world who desire more and more of God, as the world moves farther away from Him. To be called your friend is an honor that we cherish. We do not take lightly what the Lord is building between us. You are valuable! May the Lord bless each and every one of you.

Thank You for these friends, Lord,

Jim Corbett

We Focus on Jesus

For reference, I believe that the world-wide pandemic is being used by God, in part , to wake up His church to the times and seasons that are rapidly unfolding. Having said that, here are some statistics compiled by worldometers.info to put things in perspective. Rush Limbaugh published a similar list.You might want to check these out yourself!
Never forget that Our Father God is Lord over all things. Truth is in His Word, the Bible.

4/13/20 Action or Reaction?

Make sure you respond to the call God has for your life. Make sure you don’t choose to take the easier road by living a life that’s different than God intended.

If you follow hard after God, you’ll probably feel like you’re on the outside looking in within the church. I'm not talking about doing weird things that discredit the integrity of the Gospel. I mean that if you follow the example of the life of Jesus and move only when and where God tells you, people will not understand. You may find yourself giving away your possessions, taking a lesser job so you can reach people, or - heaven forbid - trusting God completely for your provision while you go into full time service.

One of the most heart-wrenching sights you'll ever see is the emptiness in the eyes of those who have not responded to the call of God, usually because of fear or their lust for worldly goods. Those desires may be simple things, like security, new clothes, or a new car. They understand deep down that they have heard the call of their Creator and have said "no" when asked to fulfill His desires for their lives. Nothing, absolutely nothing, will satisfy the emptiness of soul that follows.

After saying “no” to the Lord, most of them eventually find themselves working feverishly at some other ministry or filling a myriad of church positions to cover up the emptiness. The end result is almost always an involvement with other weary, often critical people who are also doing good works, attempting to make a difference of some sort to cover their pain, rather than following after God's original plan for their lives. How sad! How grievous to God. Just say yes!

Let’s talk more!

4/13/20 The Double

“I cherish every moment We get to share together. I have formed you to be with Me. Jesus has restored Our lost relationship that ended because of sin. Now things are as they were intended when Adam was first formed. Come to Me any time you need Me. Come to Me when you are lonely. Come when you hurt. I will always be there for you. I love you.”

Gen. 1:31 NIV

God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.

Psalm 46:1 AMP

God is our Refuge and Strength [mighty and impenetrable to temptation], a very present and well-proved help in trouble.

Isaiah 40:1-2 NIV

1) Comfort, comfort My people, says your God.

2) Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and proclaim to her that her hard service has been completed, that her sin has been paid for, that she has received from the Lord’s hand double for all her sins.

In the Isaiah verse above the phrase “…has received from the Lord’s hand double for all her sins” used to confuse and frighten me until someone explained what the “double” meant. In times past, when someone had a debt he couldn’t pay, he would post his debts on the most prominent part of his property for all to see.

Part of the custom of posting your bills on the front gate was a practice known as “the double.” This meant that everyone who saw the posting had several choices they could make. A person could pass by and ignore the need; or he could fold the paper from bottom to top - in essence “doubling” it - meaning that he would take on the debt as if it were his own and pay it for the other person.”

When God gives His double, He forgives completely. When He gave us our “double” at the cross with Jesus, all separation from Him was paid in full. We are now free from all debts, sins, and separation, fully restored to our intended place with Him.

I praise You, Lord,

Stirring the Kettle; Quieting the Spirit

Such amazing times! Never in my lifetime have I seen so many people—people who have always spent their lives trying to control their situations—finally understand they are absolutely not in control! The self-made, the God deniers, the overworked provider—whatever place anyone has in society—are all realizing that their personal world has become out of their control, literally overnight!

I am convinced Father God is shaking up all of the gods people have been serving. He has said “enough” with a simple whisper that has changed the world, causing those who are wise to listen to what He's saying.

Those who haven’t listened to His still, small voice ringing in their ears will continue to believe that things will return to normal. Those who make their priority His priorities—now that He has their attention—will find wonder in everything that happens from now on.
