Fertile Field
Painting by J.M.R.Larman.

Isaiah: Chapter 32: verses 15-16.
Until the Spirit is poured upon us from on high
and the desert becomes a fertile field
and the fertile field seems like a forest.
Justice will dwell in the desert
and righteousness live in the fertile field.
***
Praise The Lord that He pours out His Spirit upon us without measure when we ask of Him and walk in obedience to God our Father. We too can then become like a fertile field even maybe like a forest of goodness for The Lord.

Hellooooooooooo – it looks like we need to ask The Lord to pour out His Holy Spirit on us, otherwise we cannot even be obedient to God without help. Also we need to pray that His Spirit can be poured out on our Land to bring a harvest to fruition, for Creation to flourish for us to enjoy. It would be marvellous for the Desert to Bloom, just imagine what a wonderful thing that would be.
In this part of Australia we are famous for being a Wild Flower State, during Spring the North West begins to Bloom with acres and acres of Wild Flowers, you can drive for eight hours and see the colourful display of them not touched by human hands. Acres of Pinks then Yellows then Purples a lovely sight to behold it feels just like driving through Heaven with beautiful fragrance.
Have a lovely Day and may God Bless you with His Holy Spirit operating in your Heart…..
also in mine please Lord. Amen.

Spring of Water
The above is an oil painting of Rocky Pool. Carnarvon. W.Australia. Artist: J.Larman
Isaiah: Chapter 58 verse 11
The LORD shall guide thee continually
and satisfy thy soul
in drought and make fat thy bones:
and thou shalt be like a watered garden
and like a spring of water,
whose waters fail not.

Wouldn’t it be lovely if we didn’t fail the LORD today, let us ask The Holy Spirit to help us to pray that we can be beautiful like a watered garden full of freshness and perfune that will rise to Him in the Heavenlies. Taken from the Book ‘Drink from the Cup’ of Daily Readings by: J.M.R.Larman.

We do need to Praise The Lord for the rain that falls – it falls on the righteous and the unfrighteous. As Christians it is good that we can receive not just the wet rain that we can see but that we can receive the refeshing of the Holy Spirit. That of course we cannot see – but yes – sometimes we can feel His Presence with us – that is really refreshing for our spirits and and souls.
So let us rejoice and ask for a fresh outpouring of God’s Holy Spirit on the Town and Country that we live in.

Beautiful photo after the rain.
* God Bless you today
also
for the coming week *

Heart Free
Oil Painting by: J. Larman
Psalm: 119 verse 32
I run the path of your commands,
for you
have set my heart free.
*****
LORD you have set my heart free, free to love The Lord Jesus and to serve Him. I love your commands, one which asks me to walk a blameless life. Please God our Heavenly Father help me to do this today with the guidance of your Holy spirit. Amen.
***
So is our heart free – free from anger, sadness, grief, sorrow. If not then I pray that we can give those things and wrong thoughts to The Lord then try to walk in His ways.
His ways are His Commands and the most precious one is that we should Walk in Love.
When we walk in the Love of The Lord Jesus we can try to put anger, sadness, grief sorrow behind us. There are times when we will be angry, sometimes sad, also grief stricken but if we sit with The Lord Jesus in our Prayer time these will gradually diminish. Then our Heart will gradually be set Free.
We can then walk more in contentment with our Heart Free of some of the things that come against us in our everyday lives.
We can be Free as the Eagle that soars above, free in the Spirit to soar into the Heavenly Realms as we sit at the feet of Jesus in our own personal Prayer time.
God Bless You.

Tempted ?
Luke: Chapter 4 verse 1
Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit,
returned from the Jordan
and was led
by The Spirit in the desert,………
*****
Just think for a moment, have you ever been tempted by the devil? You may have been led into the desert, that could be a place where you have said – where are you God. A place where you have felt so alone.
Remember, Jesus was tempted in the desert but He did not give Himself over to the devils ways. Neither must we, these are the times that we learn more about God and when we come out of that desert experience how much stronger in The Lord we are.
Times of testing are of The Lord, to strengthen our character and to show that we put our trust in Him.
So – praise God, thank Him for your blessings. Then you will come out of the desert quicker than you ever thought possible.
…………………………………..
I Pray that if you are being tempted today that you can say help Lord and come away from the temptation what-ever it may be.
We just cannot always do things on our own – we need Gods Help and He is always there if only we can put our trust in Him and ask for His Help.
I PRAY THAT GOD BLESSES US TODAY – AS YOU AND MYSELF TRY OUR BEST TO KEEP AWAY FROM TEMPTATION IN ALL IT’S FORMS.
With Love and God Bless You.

Blameless ?
Oh! That we could be Blameless,
what a blessing we could be to others.
Psalm: 119 verse 1
Blessed are they whose ways are blameless,
who walk according to the law of
The LORD.
****
Let us even today try to walk a more blameless life, if we take one day at a time it is not quite so difficult.
We can ask The Holy Spirit to help us and guide us today to become more Christ Like.
How blessed we shall feel when we have done something according to the law of God and not entered into sin for the day.
*****
Well it is a new day today, a whole new day to practice not to get into sin.
So what is sin?
It can be lots of things, our own thoughts for instance can be sinful, our actions can be sinful i.e. like looking at things we should not be looking at. Also coveting our friends belongings, indulging in bad eating or bad drinking habits, being slothful, lazy…..oh! dear I had better stop as the list goes on and on and on…. so I say Help me Lord!
When I say that He allows The Holy Spirit to help – that is a real blessing, the thing to remember is that we do need to ask. If we don’t ask we don’t get the help that we need to overcome.
It is lovely to think that we can overcome lots of sinful things just by asking for help.
Praise The Lord.
Today is a NEW DAY to practice God’s Way.
May God Bless us today as we honour JESUS Christ our Lord.
I pray that we have a lovely overcoming Day today.
John: Chapter 16 verse 31
John: Chapter 16 verse 31
………yet I am not alone, for my Father is with me.
…..
As Christians we know that God our Father is with us. When Jesus went back to Heaven He sent His Holy Spirit to be with us – to teach, comfort and also to fellowship with us. Where The Holy Spirit is, there also are The Father and The Son.
Just think how blessed we are – we are never alone!
