The Power of GOD's Word

Hello

     It is time to begin again; I think anyway.  I looked at the other three books and came to a decision - either edit all of them or start a new book.  Don't get me wrong, I still want to edit them, but I have edited them quite a bit. 
     I looked at a few entries, and to my horror, saw jumbled up words with no indentions.  I was not necessarily irate, but I was disappointed.  God wanted me to read them, and I am getting better at knowing that He is in control.
     He had me destroy the last book of entries to write His message.  I did as He asked but really missed those entries; well, writing His Word.  I feel He wants me to start up again. 
     I read a few entries from TIME FOR GOD and realized how much I have grown through His guidance; not to mention what I have learned.  I hope and pray that everyone is doing the same.  He loves us all, especially when we are doing as He wills.
     I want to share His love as well as what He is doing in my life, which is amazing by the way.  It is tough, also - read FAITHFULLY FOLLOWING GOD'S GUIDING PATH and you will understand.  God has reasons for everything He does.  Do I understand His reasons?  No, but eventually I do or will. 
     God picks these entries, so they are in no particular order, but in the past, He has put together some miraculous lessons.  His intellect is beyond genius (I am still looking for an adjective to describe it.)
     I welcome comments, but a word of warning, nobody can understand God.  I know only what He wants me to know.  He is in control. 
     God, as I have found out, may not let you understand something the first, second, third, or fourth time, etc., you read His Word but wants us to keep trying, and when we are ready, then He will let us understand.  Is that something called patience? :-)  I just want to help, and I may not understand.  God is the only one that does.  So I will say, "Pray." 
     This is the time that we all need to seek God's face!  Many things are fixing to happen in the world.  Most importantly, no matter what happens, we need to know that He is in control.  We must trust Him and have faith. 
     I don't want to leave out Jesus - He is my Lord and Savior.  You have to believe in the Son to get to the Father.  But don't get so caught up in the Son that you forget about the Father.
     Jesus died for our sins, and if we sincerely repent, then we are cleansed of our sins.  God sent Jesus to earth to show us His love, how to live, and to love one another.  Jesus had a purpose on the earth - to do His Father's will. 
     I am getting too deep.  God loves us and Jesus loves us.  All we need to do is love them back and act accordingly.  I hope you read these entries, but read the Bible on your own.  How can Scripture speak to you if you don't read it? 

     Tell God you love Him.  Don't you like to be told you are loved?  I do and God definitely does.  God loves us with a love that cannot be measured.  So, don't listen to me, don't only tell God you love Him once, tell Him an infinite amount of times. 
     I am not very good about this - but thanks for reading these entries.  My whole goal of all the books of verses is get you to read the Bible on your own.  God will speak to you through Scripture, this I am sure of, trust me.  Well, you can't read one verse ... wait and say, "Ok, nothing," and quit; you have to make a true effort. 
     Besides, don't just listen to me, God speaks to us all differently.  Know the word for yourself is all I am saying.  God just opened my eyes to something in Genesis last night ... well, I will share.
     God told Rebecca that she would have twins and that the older would serve the younger.  It was prophecy, and it doesn't matter how it happened - it did.
     I never really caught that, and I am reading the Bible for the fifth time.  Well, maybe I did and never questioned it.  I am speaking about Jacob and Esau. 
     It is a testament to the fact that God is in control.  He speaks the truth, and whatever He says will come to pass.  The how is something I still struggle with, but it doesn't matter, God and how He works truly is beyond amazing.  I hope you have seen His genius at work.
     I better close.  I will ramble on and on about the genius of God.  The most important thing I wrote - tell God you love Him! 
     I needn't be lazy -

    "Two nations are in your
         womb,
     Two peoples shall be
         separated from your body;
     One people shall be stronger
         than the other,
     And the older shall serve the
         younger."
                   Genesis 25:23

Here is a brief synopsis of the other books: 

MY HIGHLIGHTED BIBLE VERSES, the first book.  I would open the Bible and choose the first highlighted verse I saw.  God, through the Holy Spirit, had me start this book.  I was scared to death and didn't really want the commitment.  God held my hand and helped me.  Then I became absorbed with the Bible and looked forward to the entries.

SCRIPTURE SPEAKS, the second book.  I finally, somewhere in this book thought, hey why am I picking these entries, so I let God pick them.  He started educating me at this point, and what an incredible teacher He is, beyond genius.

TIME FOR GOD, the third book.  Lots of prophecy in this book, if I remember right.  God picked them, I didn't. 

The fourth book,  I deleted this one, it had 53 entries, very interesting entries, but God wanted me to delete and I did - end of story.  He had me right THE MESSAGE FROM GOD.  Everything, except the first paragraph, is straight from the mouth of God. The first paragraph is through the Holy Spirit. 

The next fourth book is this one, THE POWER OF GOD'S WORD.  Thirteen entries left, and I think I am done with the books of verses.  I do so enjoy these, and God works through these entries, but I feel He has something else for me to write. 

Another book is FAITHFULLY FOLLOWING GOD'S GUIDING PATH.  This is about my trip to Montana.  God had me go to Lake St. Mary as He calls it, of all the lakes in Montana, He sent me to Lake St. Mary. 
One more and it is on my other account, Laid_Back_Mack, and is entitled THE DAY OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. 

Note - I am a fifty-year-old man that decided to follow God's path.  I have been to Montana and lost my big toe on my left foot.  Then went to Slab City (at the mission in Indio currently) and lost all my toes on my right foot.  I am nursing it right now, almost healed :-)  I am pleased to have lost my toes doing God's will.  I can only count to fourteen though :-)
     I have no job, no money, but am happy.  God has placed me where He wants me, and I have met some truly interesting people.  The journey is about to begin again; I do have a car - if God so chooses.
     I do hold a current teaching certificate in the state of Oklahoma; I have taught and coached for 17 years.  I just work for God right now.  He provides - thank You, Father. 
     I do not lie, so what you read is the truth, God's truth.  I don't know where or how this will end.  I have been living on faith since August 27, 2018 (the day I left Oklahoma), and it is nearing a year. 
     I try to love everyone, but I truly love the ones that love God, or the ones that are just off path.  There is a purpose for all of us, and a time for purpose under heaven.  Seek your purpose and you won't be sorry.  You may even be able to keep your toes :-)

The LORD bless you and keep you;
The LORD make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The LORD lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.

Love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.
