Do we Sin?
The Eagle is from one of my Oil Paintings
1 John: Chapter 1 verse 2
Only The Blood of Jesus Purifies us from sin.
(The Bible tells us this)
***
This is true, remember Jesus died on the cross for us as a sacrifice for our sin.
We were born as sinful, into a sinful world.
When we accept Jesus into our hearts we are washed clean of sin by is blood.
We are then new creatures, we are born again of the Spirit.
Then although tempted we need never sin,
it does not have to have dominion over us.
***
The above is taken from the Book: ‘Drink from the Cup’ by J.M.R. Larman.
Do you ever think about sin? We do things without thinking sometimes not realizing that it is something that we should not do. When in doubt if it is right or wrong to do something, a good way to work it out is to say to our self (What would Jesus do?). If we are walking with The Holy Spirit – He will help guide us if we ask Him.
Even our thoughts can be sinful, so we need to guard our mind and get rid of those wrong thoughts as quickly as we can. Maybe put our mind on to something different or we could put some music on. But try as best as we can to think more clearly.
Fleeting thoughts come and go, quickly they fade away.
Like a whisper they are gone like a breath of air.
Quickly some come, then are gone.
Some never to come again. Thoughts are words,
Words from the heart, thoughts from our minds.
We cannot snatch them back.
The above is from one of my Poems in the book ‘Goodly Verses’

Walk in the Light
It’s lovely to see the light on this Painting above. It is one of my Oil Paintings.
Psalm 89 verse 15
Blessed are those wo have learned to acclaim you,
who walk in the light of your presence,
O LORD
***
Dear LORD I acclaim you today – you are my God.
I love to walk in the light of your presence.
To feel your wonderful peace and love around me.
Thank you that you are my God.

You Asked if Jesus is God ?
Dear Child, You Asked if Jesus is God?
Well – God is our Father in Heaven and Jesus is His Son.
So – God is Jesus’ Daddy, the same as you have a Dad.
As Jesus is now in Heaven with God His Father,
He sent His Holy Spirit to be with us here so we won’t be lonely.
(He is the Spirit of Jesus Christ). We can talk to The Holy Spirit all the time,
whenever we want to. The Holy Spirit helps us to pray to God.
If we want God to be our Heavenly Father we have to ask Jesus to come into our hearts.
(Then – The Holy Spirit – comes in as well) We can then call Jesus Lord.
So we have:- God The Father, God The Son, God The Holy Spirit.
All Belong together: – Three in One – ( Three means Trinity)

Sowing Kingdom Seeds
This Flower is the Passionfruit Flower it was a photo taken in my garden. It has beautiful fragrant fruit which is very beneficial for us to eat. The meaning of the Flower is: – it illustrates the passion of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
John: Chapter 4 verse 37.
Thus the saying ‘ One sows and another reaps’ is true.
***
Lots of us are meant to be sowers of the seed, that is sowers of the Word of the Gospel of The Lord Jesus Christ. Have you sown any seed yet for The Kingdom? How lovely for God to have a harvest of our fruit from the seeds that we have sown? Let us begin to sow in readiness for a great harvest of souls.

I pray that God our Heavenly Father will Bless us all afresh today as we pray for each other and our family and friends throughout the world.

Should we Grumble ?
The above is a Water Colour Painting looking across our River Gascoyne W.A. Australia that I painted. 5″ x 7″ = 19 x 24cm ……………………..Notice the Red Earth.
*****
Exodus: Chapter 16 verse 9
Then Moses told Aaron,
“Say to the entire Israelite community,
‘ Come before The LORD,
for He has heard your grumbling.’ “
*****
Even today do you know that The LORD can hear our grumbling? Yes He can! Let us try to get through the day without a grumble. Well, we can try and with the help of The Holy spirit – we could hopefully make it!
*****
Sometimes we seem to grumble a lot, especially when things don’t go right for us. Or when we don’t agree with our brothers, sisters, family and friends. It is difficult not to grumble when we are upset about something. But – if we can stop and think to Praise The Lord and ask Him to sort the problem out for us, it would make more sense than complaining about whatever the problem was or is.
No I am not that clever to think to ask The Lord for help sometimes when something does not go right as I think it should. Then after a time if we carry on with our grumbling, we need to repent and ask to be forgiven for what we have been grumbling about. Just think – when we are grumbling we do not have the Peace of the Lord do we? So the sooner we can stop complaining, make a cup of tea or do something nice we will feel better.

It is a very nice book of about 60 Poems, Verses etc., with Illustrations. I especially like the one about ‘ The Clown’ also many of them give us food for thought to Praise The Lord.

The Book of Prayers is a help for new Christians (and some of us older ones) to pray different prayers when we get stuck for what to pray for. I am hoping it may help someone to use during their Prayer time.
I hope you have a good day today
and the peace of The Lord
be with you in the coming days.

Have we Kind Heart.
The above Angel is a Pencil Drawing I did, it is used for the Cover of my latest Poetry Book. ‘Godly Verses’
Here is a Bible Verse for today:
Philippians: Chapter 3 verse 8
What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things.
I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ.
***
To lose all things often means that we must give up those things that we love and things that we love to do that are not worthy of God. They then have no hold on us, so that we can truly gain Jesus Christ as Lord in our lives. Is there anything that you need to let go of today that is accounted as an abomination to the Kingdom. i.e. idols, love of money, hate, anger, wrong friendships etc., etc., Ask God in your prayer time and He will show you so that you can become more pure each day in your heart.

2 Thessalonians: Chapter 1 verse 11.
With this in mind, we constantly pray for you
that our God may count you worthy of His calling
and that by His power He may fulfil every good purpose
of yours and every act prompted by your faith.
***
I pray today that you will feel worthy to be called by God and will know what He wants you to do for Him today. As you walk in your faith, you will see things being fulfilled that you have been asking and seeking God for. Know that God sees you as worthy, because He has called you and you will know this if you have truly accepted Jesus as your Lord and Saviour.

Who do we Honour ?
The above is one of my Oil Paintings.
Esther: Chapter 3 verse 5.
When Hamman saw
that Mordecai would not kneel down
or pay him honour,
he was enraged.
***
We as Christians cannot pay honour to anything of Satan. Yes people will be enraged at our attitude but we best stick with Jesus so that we do not anger The LORD God Almighty. We best fear The LORD not the devil so that we have divine protection from all wrong things today and forever. Amen.
***
The above is taken from the Book: ‘Drink from the Cup’ by: J.M.R.Larman. Available on Amazon.
Here is the Link if you would like to see it:
Well the above is certainly News for today, also it should be for every day. What do you think? We really should not honour those who are doing wrong. People who hurt others we cannot honour them for what they do. Let us give Praise and Honour to The Lord God for everyone who is trying to make this world a better place, even as we give Him the Praise for these trustworthy people, they in turn we pray will be blessed by Jesus.
Here is a Link for the ‘Help you to Pray’ Book. Especially for new Christians and those of us who get a bit stuck sometimes of what or who to pray for.
I pray you have a lovely day today and can honour God our Heavenly Father for the Blessings that He allows us to have. Amen.

A Wise Heart!
This is an Oil Painting that I did of an Outback House on a Sheep Station in Carnarvon. Western Australia.
***
Proverbs: Chapter 10 verse 8.
The wise in heart accepts commands
but a chattering fool comes to ruin.
***
Oh! God let us not be chattering fools today,
let us try to be wise in our hearts and our speaking. Amen.
***
The above is taken from the book: ‘Drink from the Cup’
Here is the Link if you would like to see it:
The Psalm above lets us know that we should really watch what we say, also how we say it. Also we should not chatter on when someone is trying to speak. We should listen to hear what they say also allow them to finish talking before we answer them.
Remember – out of the heart the mouth speaks –
Let us try to not chatter on and on when we need to tell someone something, then they will be more interested to hear what we have to say.
Yes, we need wisdom sometimes to say what is in our heart, because once spoken we cannot take the words back.
May God Bless you – Have a nice Day Today….
Passion Fruit time
The above Flower is the Passion Fruit Flower of a photo that I took on the Vine in my garden. The Flower represents the Passion of Jesus Christ, God’s Son.
***
Isaiah Chapter 40 verse 31
But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles,
they will run and not grow weary they will walk and not be faint.
Taken from TNIV Bible.
*****
*****
We do need to hope in The Lord when we feel we are not coping with life.
If we are not well, often we struggle on hoping to get better very soon – but if only we would pray to our Heavenly Father we may start to feel better quicker.
Remember Jesus is our healer, so when we do feel weary let us ask the Holy Spirit to help us pray for Jesus to heal us.
It would be lovely to soar like the Eagles into the skies and glide over the earth and not be weary.
Let us remember to pray each day and know that Jesus Loves us just as we are.

Love
This Flower we call Morning Glory…… the Flowers look like lovely Trumpets, have you ever felt the petals they are so soft to touch.
***
Jude: verse 21.
Keep yourselves in God’s love
as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ
to bring you to eternal life.
***
What about today then,
are we really keeping ourselves in God’s love.
Can we show that love of Jesus to someone today – just a small act of kindness,
even a smile to someone will show God that we are waiting in His Love.
