| Hidden Manna -the suffiency of Christ
for the believer's needs,
GOD WILL PROVIDE :
GOD WILL PROVIDE :
Rev. 2 : 13
" I know where you live ( write your address in here ______________________ )
where Satan has his throne ( in our lives, in our land........)
YET YOU _______________________
remain TRUE TO MY NAME ( JESUS, have we stayed TRUE.............
complete desire
complete love
compelled to seek........JESUS )
You did not renounce , give up, to quit having anything to do with ...
your FAITH in me....."
" To him who overcomes,
I WILL GIVE HIDDEN MANNA."
Our walk with the Lord,
HE knows our hearts,
He kows where we live
He knows our evey sin...and He tells us in that chapt. to REPENT........
the Mercy and Grace of GOD..
is overpowering with the emotion of undeserving...
the "hidden manna" that HE has given to us,
when we do not deserve it..
Oh, we cry out when we are in need for HIS - Hidden Manna.....
yet He also says,
" you can not tolerate wicked men
those who claim to be apostles but are not."
what does God tolerate in me ?
what does GOD know about me ?
what does GOD see in me ?
Have I forsaken my first love..
the way I loved JESUS full throttle...
the serve HIM....with total submission....
If we do not repent:
" I will remove your lampstand from its place"
wow , the walk with the Lord, is so intense....
HE is so worthy
and I am so unworthy.... so full of sin...self....
my lampstand....wow, I pray it is never removed.

| Rev. 1 : 3
"Blessed s the one who reads the words of this prophecy,
and blessed are those who :
HEAR IT
&
TAKE IT TO HEART......."
O.K. so I woke up at 5:00 this a.m. only to read this.......
and then for GOD to speak to me....
not in a "theological" kind of way...
but more so,
Out of TEXT - and by the HOLY SPIRIT.......
so, then I said,
" do I literally take this to heart ...GOD...
what I belive You are asking of me ?"
or was it my flesh...
or was it my mind just wandering so early ?
previously in the chapt...
He said, " HE made it known by sending an angel "
that would be nice and clear !
"take it to heart"..............
what is written in this chapter,this whole BIBLE...
" I am the Alpha and the Omega"
"who is,
and who was,
and who is to come, the ALMIGHTY"
I loved the part that
" was on the island of Patmos...because of the WORD OF GOD"
smile..................
A true desire of mine - the only reason I desire to go anywhere...
" BECAUSE OF THE WORD OF GOD.........." wow, that is AWESOME !
vs. 10
" I was in the Spirit. " hmmmmmmmmmm
The Word of GOD is so deep........so amazing........
when has HE changed ?
"who is.......
who was..........
who is to come.................?"
I asked Stanley Tam,
@ what point would God stop healing ?
@ what point would He water down His power..
to what generation ?
is - was - is to come...
Joh 14:12
"Truly, truly, I say to you, He who believes on Me, the works that I do he shall do also,
and greater works than these he shall do, because I go to My Father."
the same - yesterday - today and FOREVER .......
just sitting in this for a bit !

| What is YOUR position ?
Why did GOD choose you ...save you....create you ?
For what reason of HIS ?
Seriously ~ why are your in the family of GOD
what do you feel God has called you to ~ in YOUR life ?
What "position" is yours ?
It could be you are called to preach, to teach, to write, to pray, to work and witness,
to be a godly mom,
What is your position in the family of GOD....?
Jude 1: 8
" And the angels who DID NOT KEEP THEIR POSITIONS......
of authority but ABANDONED their own home...."
What happens to our individual life....
when we quit persuing after the position God has given us ?
cont. in verse:
" these HE has kept in darkness,
bound with everlasting chains for judgement on the gread Day."
" They are clouds without rain, blown along by the wind;
autumn trees without fruit."
When our lives are spirtually fruitless.....
When our lives are just " wandering - blowing " without no results...
I would have to ask ourselves...
" have we abandoned our position ?"
are we not persuing after the LORD....
are we not living in, who and what HE died for us to be?"
Giving ourselves over to the self centered way of life...
IT goes on to talk about Sodom and Gomorrah.....
giving themselves over to the of "self desires"
Instead of seeking hard after GOD...
I believe I am suppose to ask:
" are we seeking as hard after JESUS CHRIST alone...
as you once were ?" seriously, today ?
God has seen it many times in believers lives...
we are not the first....
HE knows where we are headed on that path...
HE did not stand for it in the beginning with the angels,
with Sodom and Gomorrah....
and I doubt if HE will tolerate it with us.
It says,
" build yourselves up in the faith and the HOLY SPIRIT..
KEEP yourselves in God's love
snatch others from the fire...
To HIM who is able to keep you from falling"
Keep me from falling oh God
Keep me from falling - OH HOLY GOD !

| I visit Stanley Tam on Tues. mornings....
it is truly a high light of my week....
God always challenges me in a deep way.
Yesterday was no different....
He gave me a tract...that he said, " this tract changed my life "
I thot, whoa.......... so, we talked about it....
I asked God to embed HIS TRUTH in me.....
show me God, what YOU want me to see in this:
"The Secret of Soul Winning"
( Whose Body is YOURS)
Walter L. Wilson, M.D.
Rom. 12: 1
" Therefore I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy,
to offer YOUR BODIES as livn sacrifices, hoy and pleasing to God -
this is your spiritual act of worship."
" This verse does not tell us to whom we should give our bodies?
a. it is not the Lord Jesus who asks for it...
He has His own body.
b. It is not the Father Who asks for it
He remains upon His throne.
c. Another has come to earth WITHOUT a BODY.
God could of made a body for Him as He did for JESUS CHRIST,
but, but
He did not do so.
God gives US the privilege and the indescribable honor of
presenting yor bodies to te HOLY SPIRIT...
to be HIS dwelling place on EARTH.
How do we "use the HOLY SPIRIT?"
When you about to do something you want the LORD to be in ?
We call HIM to come and help us perform the task ?
Do we keep Him in a place of a spiritual servant for US ?
our will
our agenda's
our desires to see HIM WORK where we want HIM to ...in our lives ?
To use the HOLY SPIRIT....t help me in my SELF APPOINTED and CHOSEN WORK ?
BAMMMMMMMMMM - slapped upside the head...
a big SPIRITUAL MIRROR OF SELF ABSORBTION................
GOD in our lives...
instead of
US IN GOD's LIFE ?
God spoke to me.....a couple of weeks ago...
to quit trying to bring HIM into my life...
and go find where HE IS AT....
go to HIS FIELD....and get out in it..
where HE IS AT...just go find GOD...
seek HIM, search for HIM.....look and desire HIM....
HIDE IN HIM......let HIM be in ALL HIS GLORY.....
and again, HE IS TELLING ME...
LET ME / the HOLY SPIRIT LIVE FULLY in YOU...
LET ME LIVE.....fully
HOUSE ME.....
Surrender your body to ME....let me LIVE....
and GO WITH ME.......... FOLLOW ME....
let me live expanded beyond YOU.........

| Col. 3: 3
" FOR YOU DIED.................
and your life is now HIDDEN with Christ in GOD.
4.
When christ , is .....is YOUR LIFE APPEARS,
then YOU also will appear with HIM in GLORY. "
just an amazing, amazing concept...
a. we truly die, done, self gone, our thots do not go to US FIRST...
our lives daily are NOT ~ US FIRST
our schedules are NOT ~ US FIRST
our care is NOT ~ US FIRST
we are HIDDEN IN CHRIST....
This past weekend I had 6 little kids in our house...
their plates fixed FIRST
their baths done FIRST
their toenails, fingernails...done FIRST
their hair done ....FIRST...
and when the 6 walked into church....
"then I showed up afterwards"
where ever they went...." then I showed up"
THEY CONSUMED me, THEIR lives were way over mine...
I was "hidden in them" all weekend......
my life, was on " hold "
Then these verses came to me - from HIM
4. " when CHRIST, who is YOUR LIFE..... APPEARS...
then YOU ALSO...will appear with HIM in glory "
when we are consumed with HIM
HE IS OUR LIFE.....
we don't even worry....when "WE ARE GOING TO SHOW UP"
we just stay UNDER HIS WINGS,
we just desire to stay HIDDEN - in HIM.....
we - can't be seen...........
and when GOD ALONE
and when GOD IN ALL , ALL HIS GLORY appears...
then we "also" get to appear in HIS GLORY
I believe today's Christian society...is trying to "develop"
the glory of GOD...present the glory of GOD....create the glory of GOD...
instead of just
HIDING out under and in JESUS...
being consumed my HIM..... and not ourselves, our agenda....our claim in life...
but just hiding in HIM.....................
desiring HIM....
which is on the front burner with us today - developing our own glory?
or seeking hard after HIM alone, HIS Word, hearing from HIM, praising HIM....
and then...when ever, when ever....HE decides...
letting HIM ~ IN all HIS GLORY ~ prevail
and then " WE ALSO ".................." WE ALSO "
