Graceman’s Musings

Dear Beloved Ones ( Sounds spirtually mushy….cause it is meant to be….John 13:34-35

“By this shall all men know that you are my disciples if you love one another…..”with Agape, self sacrificing love )

At our church we have been studying the first chapter of Daniel. It has been a great study. I jumped ahead and have been reading about the end times in chapters 9 – 12. I have never been so convinced that we are really  in the Last Days as I am now. I have scripture and as of late the witness of the Holy Spirit. This witness has all of the true believing remnant on high spiritual alert. I mourn and grieve into the night and often during the day. I am a person given to a light and joyous spirit and pretty much unmoved by my personal traumas. This is different. It’s not gloom and doom it is how God communicates with His believers. If you read Daniel 9 and 10 you will see what happens when God reveals to Daniel the Vision/ Revelation of the Latter Days. Now we are actually living near to the times that Daniel saw and made him heart sick and mourn and grieve. No wonder we are all feeling this way if we are in tune with the Holy Spirit. I claim no prophetic gifts. I simply read the prophecies and know that when I do it’s like reading tomorrow’s news today. The key to walking strong is to remain in a Prayerful state almost continuously.

Daniel would receive Revelation and then he would fast, mourn and pray. God answered in the following manner:

a. God hears our prayers and sees our hearts in contrition toward Him

b. God sends angels ( ministers of fire …Heb.1 ) who are  ministers, messengers and mighty ones ) to our aid ( They fight demonic entities that come after us ..See Dan. 9-10) ( Do a study on angels …cool study )

c. God strengthens us ( As he did to Daniel ) Often I awaken with fears and feelings of frustration and failure…..I then PRAY and soon thereafter the “effects” of Prayer “kick”

in and I sense the Peace of God, Presence and Power of God…..changing my fears and feelings of inadequacy to Fiery Fire Forged Faith so that I can be the WARRIOR

( spiritually speaking ) that God called all of us to be ( Eph. 6:10-19 )

D. Sometimes God sends “regular” angels and in Daniel’s case sent the Arch Angel…How cool is that ?

E. In Daniel 10 the Lord himself even shows up…..He did to Hagar, Joshua before Jericho…Josh.5, Daniel 10 to Daniel, Exod. 3 to Moses, Rev. 1 to John the beloved on Patmos…and stood for Stephen as he was being stoned Acts 6-7.

If we will Pray, Fast and Walk in the Spirit we will live in the real of the Supernatural and the Miraculous. I do not now aboutyou but I need to walk in that realm or I am in real trouble……..I want you to walk in that realm…the FAITH Zone…. 

NOTE: DO NOT GIVE INTO YOUR FEARS/FEELINGS/ OR FOES…Be strong and very courageous for the Lord thy God is with thee……..Joshua Ch. 1 ( In I John 3:20-21 I have a favorite verse…”If our heart condemns us GOD IS Greater than our hearts”…… Satan uses that Condemnation tool…via…Self condemnation, Satanic/spirit condemnation and through other people…the WORD ( I John 4:1-4 ) says “Believe not every spirit but try ( test ) them to see whether they are of God…..” ( In II Thess. 2:2… ” Do not be shaken in mind or troubled , either by spirit, or by word or by letter….. demon  spirits…words people say or what you read…paper, letters, internet etc….. ( If I am to be shaken let God do the shaking…..Heb. 12:26-27  The Lord said he would shake everyone and everything so that which CANNOT BE SHAKEN… ( THE KING  ie: JESUS and His Kingdom People ) will remain….After all the world and governments are shaken there will be one kingdom left…..THE UNSHAKEABLE KINGDOM…..THE GLORY OF WHICH WILL FILL THE EARTH…Daniel 2:b

     Can you feel the SHAKING going on NOW…….? I can…..Guess what ? FAITH people are not “All Shook UP “…Elvis was but I am not……

The Financial world is shaking….governments are shaking…..the ecological world is  shaking…. the weather  patterns are shaking….. men’s hearts are shaking…..the Oil barons are shakng…the farmers are shaking…….( Read Joel and see WHY )

In Satan’s Amusement park his favorite ride to get you on is the “Tunnel of Condemnation” Do not get on it. It is dark and scary and depressing… When he says

 ” Step Right UP”…..Step right down and …..Get on JESUS High Wire….Romans 8:1…..NO CONDEMNATION RIDE……It is so Freeing….Conviction is of the Spirit…..Condemnation is not……Even from Self, Satan or Others…… I DON’T DO CONDEMNATION…….Satan’s Oldest Dance…..I don’t Dance with the Devil.

I have a cool phrase that I use on myself…..THINK about what you think about ) Just because a thought comes into my weird mind does not mean that I have to receive it or dwell on it ….See II Cor 10:3-5 ) See also Phil. 4:8-9

The other day I read almost an entire Newspaper and every single article depressed me more and more….I tossed the paper and said to myself ” I Walk by FAITH and not by sight…..I walk in Light and not the Night. That same night I opened my Bible and read and read until I felt the Ahhhhhhh of God’s Presence and my Faith was fed and fueled….Faith

comes by hearing and hearing by the WORD……..Romans 10:17

Today you may be weeping…JOY comes in the mourning….

Today you may be broke…..God may Command a Blessing ( Deut.28) tomorrow ( Josh. 3 Sanctify yourself today for the Lord will do wonders among you…. )

Today you may be lonely and tomorrow like he did for Elijah … Elisha may show up….

Today you may be surrounded by the enemy like Judah and Jehoshaphat in II Chron. 21

but tomorrow……God may send an army of angels o win the battle for you……THE BATTLE BELONG TO THE LORD……

Today you may be sick and in pain and tomorrow God may heal your body….

Today you may be jobless and homeless and tomorrow your Breakthrough will come through….Read Zech. 9:12 ” Return to the Stronghold ye prisoners of HOPE….receive double for your trouble…” Like my man JOB…Read Last chapter of JOB….

Yea, I would love to have a perfect life…..but that song and dance is an urban legend….

I have a perfect Saviour and that’s all we need…..I’d rather have JESUS….
