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.

Be Healed
Psalm 30 verse 2
O LORD my God,
I called to you for help
and you healed me.
***
Yes LORD I can truly say that I did call to you for help and yes you did heal me of an incurable disease in my lungs – Bronchiectasis in 1984 in Perth, W. Australia. I give you all the praise and glory God that I can witness that you sent Jesus your Son to earth as our Saviour and Healer, thank you, thank you. So if you need help for healing, today is a good time to ask The LORD God if He will allow Jesus to heal you. I pray that when you ask you will receive in good measure what ever you are asking for. Amen.
The above was taken from the book – “Drink from the Cup” – by: J.M.R.Larman.
*****
I do pray today that God will Bless you whatever your needs are. It is good to know that Jesus sent His Holy Spirit to be with us in our hearts to comfort and guide us while we live on this earth. This applies to all of us who are Christians and have invited Jesus into our hearts. So with God The Father, Jesus The Son and The Holy Spirit – we need not despair when wrong things come against us. That includes things that go wrong in our bodies….. if you are not sure how to pray….remember that Jesus taught His Disciples when they asked Him how should they Pray, He taught them that Prayer that covers all our needs i.e. The Lords Prayer.
You can find The Lords Prayer in your Bible:
(in the New Testament) :
– St. Luke: Chapter 11 verse 2.
also in – St. Matthew: Chapter 6 verse 9.
*****
If you do not have a Bible here is the Prayer:
Our Father who art in Heaven,
Hallowed be your Name.
Your Kingdom come.
Your Will be Done.
On Earth as it is in Heaven
Give us today our daily bread
and forgive us our Trespasses, as
we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into Temptation
but Deliver us from evil.
for Yours is the Kingdom,
the Power and The Glory,
for Ever and Ever – Amen.
* God Bless You *

This is Love
2 John: Chapter 1 verse 6
And this is love: that we walk in obedience to His commands.
As you have heard from the beginning
His command is
that you walk in love.
***
Please would you help me to walk in love today Lord! Amen.
***
So today let us try to walk in the Love of The Lord Jesus. I know that it can be very difficult to walk in obedience to the Commandments that God gave to Moses.
But we need to give it a go.
So what can we do then to walk in Love…..well, we can show consideration to those family and friends that we meet up with today and in the coming week. Some I know we find difficult to show love to – we don’t have to gush over them, just listen to what they have to say, not tell them what to do.
To walk in the Love of The Lord Jesus is not for us to give things to show love, it is us being willing to share our time with those who come before us each day.
So I can say to you: that I love you with the love of The Lord who ever and wherever you are reading this today.
I pray that God will Bless you and keep you safe as you try to be obedient to Him and that means that you are walking in The Love of The Lord Jesus Christ my Saviour and hopefully is or will be yours.
God Bless you with His Love

Contentment
The Painting above is of a Vision someone had and asked me to paint it for them.
1 Timothy: Chapter 6 verse 6
But godliness
with contentment
is great gain.
****
To be content is something wonderful, we are to be content in all circumstances but most times we are definitely not!
What do you think is the reason why we are not content?
Could it be that we are not walking in godliness?
I think that may be a lot to do with it. Whatever is going on in your life today try to be content with what you have, try not to yearn for things that cannot be.
Let us praise The Lord for what we already have.
*****
So today let us think what we have that we can be content about…..most of us have shelter, food, family and finance. We have lovely flowers and animals, we have produce in abundance here in Australia.
We can be proud of our Country – being content that we have freedom of speech – so we can say Jesus is Lord of all the Earth and of all that is in it.
Regarding Creation – we can be content about that because Jesus organized it, no it did not evolve. So we can be content in the knowledge that He made for instance an Oak Tree and that throughout time it has not evolved into something else: i.e. each reproduces its own kind from the seed that was put into it, even animals and human beings. Just as simple as that!!!!!!
Let us believe and be content to read about these things in our Bible and not doubt.
Let us be or try to be more Godly and walk in godliness with the contentment that we can only know by walking with Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour.
God Bless you with Love and Contentment today.
We are all individuals, all different as people, just as snowflakes are different but are still snowflakes. God made everyone according to a pattern.
So we are made, according to a pattern.
We are made in the image of God.

Money?
Praying Hands Scrapper Board Drawing by J.M.R.Larman.
*****
1 Timothy: Chapter 6 verse 5
…., who have been robbed of the truth
and who think that godliness
is a means to financial gain.
***
This Scripture applies to those who love money, yes, we do need money and we have to work to earn it but we must not make it a god in our lives. Because God supplies all our needs, we cannot think that we can pray – please God send me a fortune in money. Best to read the above Scripture to get a really good meaning of this for our lives today, then get on with our Godly living in the knowledge that God supplies all our needs, financial or otherwise.
***
Let us Pray for God to bless us with finance – that is not problem – the problem arises when we ask for ungodly gains that we really do not need i.e. I believe that the Prosperity Gospel is not the true Gospel of Jesus.
The bible does say: ‘ask and you shall receive’ – yes we are to ask – but God does know our needs and he will supply our daily needs, not unlimited funds and more and more unholy wants.
He does supply us with our families, food, clothes and shelter. We can ask and receive Wisdom, Knowledge, Understanding, Discernment and everyday Commonsense. I believe these are things that God likes us to ask for and receive. We can ask for healing or good health for our bodies and loved ones. We can ask that we can share The Love of The Lord Jesus with those that God allows us to see and care for each day.
Do you know that it is a privilege to be able to Pray – Jesus prayed and gave us “The Lord’s Prayer” – which really covers everything that we need to ask God for.
May God Bless you
&
keep you safe in His care.
With Love and Blessings
for your needs today.

Sons of God
John: Chapter 1 verse 12
But as many as received Him,
to them gave He power
to become the sons of God,
even to them
that believe on His Name:
*****
We must believe on and in the name of Jesus.
Then we can become Sons of God,
filled with all power and authority
of Jesus Christ our Lord.
With the knowledge that God is truly
Our Father in Heaven.
*****
Isn’t it lovely to think that we have a Father in Heaven. Also to think that He is the one and only True Living God. Do you realize that Jesus is alive – He is not dead –
God has a Son – His name is Jesus –
So – God is a Father and He wants us to become His Sons (that means Daughters as well). Therefore when we receive Jesus we too become one of God’s Sons. He made us to be a family for Him but we have a choice – we are not puppets – He lets us choose to be part of His family – He does not automatically include us. If we want to live in the world without Jesus then we are free to do so. But how terrible – then we would not be going to Eternity when we leave this earth.
How wonderful Eternity must be filled with the Glory of God and all the Heavenly Host.
May God Our Heavenly Father Bless Us Today.
Remember to Ask Him to Bless You.
Like our earthly Fathers I am sure that God likes us to Ask.

Spiritual Blessings
Ephesians: Chapter 1 verse 3.
Praise be to the God and Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who has blessed us in the heavenly realms
with every spiritual blessing
in Christ.
*****************
Can you ever imagine all the beautiful spiritual blessings that we have been given? Just sit and think for a moment on some of them – then, what about the earthly blessings that we have. God loves us so much He really wants us to have the best of His blessings.
I wonder what special blessing is in store for us today?
*
So what are the Spiritual Blessings
that we have?
Let us have a think…. First would be our Salvation that Jesus really did die on the Cross for us. We cannot really imagine how that could be but we can accept that He did it for us to become Sons of the Living God i.e. our Father in Heaven.
Spiritual Blessings can be Peace, Love, Joy, Contentment, Healing, Wisdom, Knowledge, Understanding and normal everyday Commonsense etc.,
Also Earthly Blessings…
What could they be….well we can have another think….we have families, friends, food and shelter, finance. But one really nice thing to think about is that we have all things that were made at the time of Creation….NOT Evolution. Look around at the beautiful things that our God has made, none of us can make even a birds feather, a flower, the wind, the waves, the seas, the fish and animals. Also he has made our Brothers and Sisters here and throughout this earth the we live on.
Let us Praise the God and Father of:
our Lord Jesus Christ.
God Bless You Today with whatever Blessings you have.

Luke: Chapter 13 verse 3
Luke: Chapter 13 verse 3.
I tell you no!
But unless you repent,
you too will all perish.
***
Jesus said the above words – you may like to read a bit more of that Chapter to know what it is about.
Surely it is a small price for us to pay,
to repent and inherit the Kingdom of Heaven!
***
Well what does it mean to repent…..
As far as I know it means that we are very sorry for the wrong things that we have done or are doing in our life and would like God to forgive us. As soon as we ask Him to forgive us,(that means we are repenting of doing those wrong things). It also means that we do not want to do them again. Then we can ask Jesus to accept us just as we are and He will.
To acknowledge Jesus as your Lord and Saviour in your life is a marvellous thing. To know that you have repented and will go to Heaven when you leave this Earth is something to look forward to.
*****
May God Bless you today – so that you can be a Blessing to others.

Psalm: 95 verse 6
Psalm: 95 verse 6
Come, let us bow down in worship,
let us kneel before
The LORD our Maker.
***
The LORD God is our maker,
He made us especially for Himself,
what a privilege to kneel
before The Maker of the Universe.

Yes Jesus Love’s You
