Blessings:
* The Painting is an Oil Painting that I did of a Billabong in North West Australia.*
1 Thessalonians: 5 v 23.
May God himself,
the God of peace,
sanctify you through and through.
May your whole spirit,
soul and body be kept blameless
at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
*****
Only God our Father in Heaven is able to do this as we submit ourselves to Him.
Let us submit ourselves afresh each day to Him and receive His wonderful blessings.
*****
The above is taken from the book: ‘Drink from the Cup’ of Heavenly Blessings. Here is the Link for it.
Do you think it is a good thing to submit ourselves to God our Heavenly Father each day?
What would we do if we did not acknowledge God each day? Where do we think our Blessings would come from if we did not believe in Jesus God’s Son and The Holy Spirit? Just think – when we have accepted Jesus into our lives, God our Heavenly Father showers Blessings on us, that we should not take for granted.
So what Blessings do we have then – could be our families, our food, our shelter, our finance, our health, our friends, our pets. We have so much to thank God for that it is a small thing to remember to thank Him and submit ourselves afresh each day to walk in the Love of God our Father in Heaven. He allows His Angels to guard us. The Holy Spirit to help and guide us especially when we ask Him to.
So, I praise my Heavenly Father for all my Blessings. How about you – I pray that you can do that too.

Perseverance!
A lovely photo of Morning Glory….. looking like trumpets in the photo. Have you ever felt the Petals they are so thin and soft to feel – just beautiful.
*****
James 1 verses 2-3.
Consider it pure joy, my brothers,
whenever you face trials of many kinds,
because you know that the testing of your faith
develops perseverance.
*****
We don’t usually face trials with joy do we? If only we could use our faith more in the difficult circumstances, persevere in faith and let God be in charge instead of ourselves, we would find life much easier. Maybe you are in a difficult situation today, remember the disciples – we must have faith even as small as a mustard seed. Let us not give up in the testing of our faith, don’t let the devil have the upper hand especially today.

If you are not a Christian and would like to be one, you could pray this prayer printed below.
Know that Jesus loves you and He would like to be part of your life if you would let Him. It is lovely to live with God our Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ His Son and with the lovely Holy Spirit. Then you would never be alone because they would be always with you. The Holy Spirit is our comforter, teacher and guide, we can talk to him day or night, when Jesus went back to Heaven He sent His Holy Spirit to be with us when we invite Himself Jesus into our hearts. If you already are a Christian you know this is true and I can say God Bless you today.

What about your Heart?

*****
Acts 16: verses 14 – 15.
The Lord opened Lydia’s heart to receive
the message of Salvation from Paul.
Then all her household was baptized.
*****
Maybe you can ask God to open your heart for Jesus Christ to come in today, unless you have already done so. If you have, please pray for all those souls who do not know the Lord Jesus, ask that their hearts be softened to receive Him, even maybe today.

Pray for Lost Souls.
I know that your heart grieves God for all those lost souls who have not come to the knowledge and love of Jesus yet. I pray Lord God that you will allow your Holy Spirit to move around them to somehow soften their hard hearts towards you. I pray today that Christians will be able to speak out of the love of Jesus so that those who are not saved will indeed begin to wonder what they are missing out on. I pray that today many souls will come into Salvation throughout the world.
Help us as Christians to reach out to those who are in the world, help us to reach out with love, joy and peace to who-ever you bring before us today. May your signs and miracles continue through out the world as a sure witness that Jesus is alive, that He lives for ever and ever with you God Our Father in Heaven. Bless all who come before us today God and also please bless me so that I too can be a blessing for others. Amen.

What do we Say?
My Oil Painting of a Billabong in North West Australia. The Rocks truly are that beautiful Colour.
Psalm 141 verse 3
Set a guard over my mouth, O LORD;
keep watch over the door of my lips.
*****
Sometimes I think it is a good thing to ask The LORD to put a guard over my mouth to stop me saying something wrong and then wishing that I had not said it. As Christians we must be very careful what we say to others so that we do not offend them because in doing so we offend God if we do not speak righteously. Today please God guard my mouth, the door of my lips and my speaking. Amen.

I do pray that you have a really good day today especially if you are a Christian. If not and you would like to be one please read and pray the above Prayer then let someone know that you are.
(So what do you say) ?
Prayer really becomes effective when you do speak out to someone that you have done so.
It is good to have God our Heavenly Father and Jesus His Son with us, also The Holy Spirit knowing that we are never alone. That our sins are forgiven and we can look forward to our heavenly home when our time on this planet earth comes to an end.
Walk in the Light!
The above Oil Painting is one that I did showing the Light of The Lord coming from above, lighting up His Word in the Bible.
*****
Psalm 76 verse 4
You are resplendent with light,
more majestic than mountains rich with game.
*****
How can we comprehend our majesty, Your holy light, Your Heavenly Throne?
Heavenly Father God, none can come near Your resplendent light.
Your are almighty God.
Today we honour You for all Your love and care for us.
*****
Let us be glad of the healings that Jesus has given us for our body, soul and our mind.
Let us Rejoice that Jesus heals the same now as when he walked on this earth
all those years ago.
Also to remember that Jesus is The Light of The World.

What is Faithfulness ?
What a lovely Sunset photo showing the beautiful colours over our Boats Harbour in Carnarvon Western Australia.
2 Timothy: 2 v 13
If we are faithless,
He will remain faithful,
for He cannot disown Himself.
***
When we belong to Jesus and our faith seems to desert us, remember that He is still faithful to us, He is always there. Even today right this minute Jesus is faithful to us, let us pray and ask that our faith be refreshed and renewed today. Amen.
***
The above is taken from the Book ‘Drink from the Cup’ by J.M.R. Larman.
What do you think it means to have faith or to be Faithfull ? One thing I think it means is to be Faithfull to our family and friends. That is to say and mean what we say to them and do what we think is best for our Brothers and Sisters, Husband’s and Wife’s also our Children and extended family. To be Faithfull is to love them with the Love of Jesus, ask Him to bless them and in Faith ask Jesus to keep them safe.
We need to be Faithfull in having a Prayer time, to sit with God our Heavenly Father each day. In that way Faithfulness’ means to be consistent, to set aside that special time, so that in Faith we can pray righteous prayers as we come to God through our Saviour Jesus Christ and know that our prayers will be heard.
Let us try to be Faithfull, going to go to Church to share with the Congregation in the Singing and Praise, the Bible readings etc., try to stay afterwards for Morning Tea and talk and share some conversation with the Church family. For some it maybe the only time of the week they get to talk to someone about what The Lord is doing in their life.
So let us be Faithfull in the little things that we do each day and Praise The Lord that we are able to do our chores each day with Faithfulness’ and Joy.

The Holy Spirit is Real !
This is my Oil Painting depicting the Holy Spirit descending like a dove.
*****
John: Chapter 16 verses 16-17.
And I will ask The Father and He will give you another Councillor to be with you forever. The Spirit of Truth. The world cannot accept Him because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you know Him, for He lives with you and will be in you.
*****
Isn’t that marvelous, that we can know the wonderful Holy Spirit, who will comfort us today and forever when we ask Him to.
*****
The above is taken from the book: ‘Drink from the Cup’
Do you know – that to have The Holy Spirit with us we first need to invite Jesus into our life. Once we do that we automatically have The Spirit of Jesus in our heart because Jesus said that once He Himself left this earth He would send His Holy Spirit to be with us, to comfort, to guide us, to help us to pray. So there we are then. We can pray to God our Heavenly Father knowing that He will hear our prayers because we belong to Jesus Christ His Son.
Do you know – that we are never alone when we have The Holy Spirit with us, that we can talk though Him day and night to Jesus and to God our Heavenly Father. What a Blessing.
Do you know – that you can invite Jesus into your life right now if you have not already done so! Then you can be a Blessing to others maybe to pray for your family and friends knowing that God will hear your prayers.

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.

Ripple on a Pond.
The above is one of my Oil Paintings…..yes it has a pond on it so thought it would good on here.
Job: Chapter 1 – verse 21.
“Naked I came from my mothers’ womb and naked I shall depart.
The Lord gave and The LORD has taken away:
may the name of The LORD be praised”
***
The above was said by Job and it is true, naked we came into this world and naked we shall leave it. So while we are here let us bless those around us as best we can especially our family. Let us see them enjoy some of the assets we would eventually leave them when we die by giving now while we are alive. Let us share in their enjoyment. Maybe it could be just a special little heirloom we are saving for them, or, maybe finance we are saving for them. If they are in need as some young families are, let us be gracious and try to help. Today let us remember – we cannot take anything with us when we go, that also includes our love. let them know you love them. Our families do need our love more than maybe they or we realize. The LORD surely blesses us as we bless others.
Today let us think on our nakedness before The LORD.

Here is the Poem that I wrote about being a Ripple on a Pond…
Are You a Ripple on a Pond. ?
Are you a Ripple on a Pond?
Do you see what I see? Can you pray for those who cannot pray?
Will you pray for those who cannot see? Are you a Ripple on a Pond.?
Like a pebble thrown into the middle, our prayers can go out and around
in a never ending and expanding circle. Are you a ripple on a pond?
Do you see beyond the horizon? Will your words or works reach out
in that never ending circle of prayer? I pray I am a Ripple on a Pond.
My prayers going forth throughout the world, for those lost souls to be gathered in
and for everyone of them to be cleansed from sin.
Do try to be a Ripple, even starting with a trickle, of prayer and praise.
Like a pebble creating waves on a Pond, may your Prayers go forward even beyond.
So are you a Ripple on a Pond?
With prayers, reach far beyond all that you see. Look and use your spiritual eyes for Jesus.
Do something for Him that really, really pleases.
