Studying 'the Word' for Insight on 'Seasons'. Sunday Series, Post 1, 'Introduction', May 6, 2018

'For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven' [Ecclesiastes 3:1].
Every year the world goes through seasons. Some more dramatic than others. Our lives mimic these patterns; we too pass through seasons.

But change is not always easy, especially when it means a transition into difficulty or the unknown. Further, it can be 'harder' when we 'try' to 'live the Christian Life', including changes, in our own strength.

After Salvation, 'Let the Seasons of Life Be Lived', Tue/Thur Series, Post-card 2, April 26, 2018

'And God said, "Let the earth put forth vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, upon the earth." And it was so. The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening and there was morning, a third day".' [Genesis 1:11-13] Amen. Amen.

After 'Salvation', 'What is Next?', Let the 'Seasons of Life' Begin Series, Tu/Thur, Post 1A, April 24, 2018

Now, that I am 'saved', what meanest this? Get ready my friends. Allow me to 'set the stage', through which all the remainder of the 'stories of my life in Jesus' will be told. YES, THE SEASONS OF MY LIFE.
Continuing today from Thursday, April 19, 2018, there will be seven posts through May 15, 2018, focused on 'Seasons of Life'. Why? Because when a person understands this, life can be looked at with true anticipation of unbelievable - JOY!! Oh, my friends, how I want you to have joy and to be able to continually - rejoice!! And, when you realize that 'seasons change', it is possible. Amen. Amen. Post 1A

Therefore, 'first and foremost', I had entered a 'true' 'season in life'. Up until 'SALVATION', I do not believe a person enters into any 'purposeful' 'season' of life, from the Lord's perspective. Without The Lord, what if any guidance and strength from the Word of God, can one gain?? How can one gain insight for living, when it takes the Holy Spirit 'in you' to 'interpret' the 'meaning of the Scripture for you' in the various circumstances of your own life? And then, it takes the same Holy Spirit's 'strength' to cause you to will, and to do the will of God. Like I said, 'I was about to get to know the Holy Spirit', 'intimately'. This is not 'the works of man'. [Galatians 2:16; 5:19; Ephesians 2:9, 10; Philippians 2:13]

DO NOT GET ANGRY WITH WHAT I HAVE JUST SAID, CHECK IT OUT - FOR YOURSELF.
[John Chapter 3; John 14:15-27; John 15:1-11; Romans 3:9-26; Chapter 8; Philippians 2:13]

Keeping the View From the Cross on Our Hearts and Minds, Just A Little Longer,Spurgeon, Post B, April 24, 2018

Morning and Evening Readings of Charles Haddon Spurgeon [1855[
[Emphasis SMQ audio-bible.com/bible/bible.html

“The precious blood of Christ.” The awesome wonder of - Salvation!
1 Peter 1:19

'Standing at the foot of the cross, we see hands, and feet, and side, all distilling crimson streams of precious blood. It is “precious” because of its redeeming and atoning efficacy. By it the sins of Christ’s people are atoned for; they are redeemed from under the law; they are reconciled to God, made one with him. [Leviticus 17:11; Hebrews 9:22]

Christ’s blood is also “precious” in its cleansing power; it “cleanseth from all sin.” “Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.” [Isaiah 1:18-20; Matthew 28:26; Luke 22:20; Ephesians 1:7; 2:13] Through Jesus’ blood there is not a spot left upon any believer, no wrinkle nor any such thing remains. O precious blood, which makes us clean, removing the stains of abundant iniquity, and permitting us to stand accepted in the Beloved, notwithstanding the many ways in which we have rebelled against our God.

'Thoughts of Assurance for the 'Righteous' from Devotions of Charles H. Spurgeon, Sunday, Post A, April 15, 2018

Morning and Evening: Daily Readings of Charles Haddon Spurgeon [1855]
[Emphasis - SMQ]
“Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him.”
Isaiah 3:10. [See also Psalm 23 audio-bible.com/bible/bible.html

'It is well with the righteous always. If it had said, “Say ye to the righteous, that it is well with him in his prosperity,” we must have been thankful for so great a boon, for prosperity is an hour of peril, and it is a gift from heaven to be secured from its snares: or if it had been written, “It is well with him when under persecution,” we must have been thankful for so sustaining an assurance, for persecution is hard to bear; but when no time is mentioned, all time is included. God’s “shalls” must be understood always in their largest sense. From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, from the first gathering of evening shadows until the day-star shines, in all conditions and under all circumstances, it shall be well with the righteous.

As for the rest of 'the bullying gang', the 'reckoning'. April 12, 2018, Post 7 D-2

Delicious looking, is it not!! Hello, my friends. Thank you for coming back. This is the last of four posts and the conclusion of 'the watermelon patch and lessons learned', in my life, BEFORE CONVERSION, DURING, REGENERATION. IT MAY HELP YOU TO UNDERSTAND YOURSELF, OR, SOMEONE ELSE.

Remember, 'Bad company ruins good morals'. We were tentatively - ALL BAD FOR EACH OTHER!!
[1 Corinthians 15:33] audio-bible.com/bible/bible.html

Time to learn - as it is written: 'You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. You shall not covet your neighbor's....anything that is your neighbor's'. [Exodus 20:15,16,17]. And, for me, a time to 'choose' and love God, first. And, it would be a time to learn about the same thing Adam and Eve had to learn - 'the lust of the flesh'; 'the lust of the eyes'; the pride of life'. [Genesis 3; 1 John 2:15-17]

Let Me Get This Straight - I Am Supposed to WHAT?! LOVE MY ENEMIES? FOR REAL?!! POST 6A, March 19, 2018

Welcome back to 'more training in godliness' for L'il Miss Tidy.
www.audio-bible.com/bible/bible-html

How many of you are 'enjoying' the 'joys and tears' of 'parenting'?? You do know that children are 'a heritage from the Lord', right? [Psalm 127:3] And, from my own experience, I know, they can be your 'greatest challenge' as well. But, through the process of 'rearing' children, we come to understand better the meaning of our parents' guidance from the pass, and become - how shall I say it - 'patient, wise, and grateful'. Patient, because we begin to see how we were in our youth. ['The apple does not fall to far from the tree, with DNA and all!]. Wise, because we begin to understand that children are 'little adults' 'biting at the bits' to get 'grown' and on their own, just like we were with our parents. Grateful, that we had a parent or parents who endured with us, and did not let us have our way to our own ruin, being unprepared for our own families and life. Yes, we become full of gratitude, are Grateful, for it all! This is especially true when we realize, that we have been our little rebellious selves, with our 'Heavenly Father', and He has never forsaken us. [Matthew 28:20]
