Heart Divine

Not Like My Heart.......
All crusty and hard......................
Not like my heart at all

His heart has been attacked..................
He has been called selfish.....
He has been called liar...............
He has even had his existence doubted by others.................
Yet He is still the same today, yesterday, tomorrow...
There is no turning of shadow or shifting of light in Him.
Who?
God......

I want to believe......In an age of cynisim and skeptics, I do not want to be chief among them.
I want to believe a truth that is greater than this world.......
I want to believe a truth that is larger than any government.................
A truth more powerful than any president or king......
I want to believe....

That someone with a divine heart could love someone like me ...............
someone like me whose heart is corrupt and broken................Whose heart is about as Un-divine as any other..
Could I be loved?
Could I be restored to something greater than where I am now?

It would take a divine heart............One with so much love that the infusion of
His life into mine would bring drastic change.
That He could salvage what was of worth in me and save it.......
Salvation! That is the word. Salvation!

"For God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life." J316

"That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." R10910

Do you feel your heart being strangely drawn as you read these words?
Maybe beating a little faster....
You don't understand why it is acting this way....but you know it is happening....
That is God's spirit talking with your spirit.....
Confess that you are in need of being saved....and only Jesus can do it....
It doesn't have to be flowery or proper or even in good English....why it doesn't even have to be in English if that isn't your language.....
Believe in your heart......believe.....

God on you.............
IF you prayed and asked God to save you.........
Send me an E-mail and let me know -- rapha7@bellsouth.net
I promise I won't send a goon squad to your house to sell you anything. Vicki and I just want to pray for you..............

Looking At The World Through Cracked Lens

As ol' Paul wrote in his Corinthian letters.."We see in part and we know in part." Now what piece of this bit of wisdom do we not get? I wish to not run around acting and trying to be some sort of Biblical G00-Ru (I meant to spell it wrong). Or a sage of sages.

I simply want to be able to communicate some of what God has given to me. Why? Do I think what I get is better than what you may have received from Him? Nope. But I do think encouragement comes when we share our daily story of struggle and victory in an effort to encourage each other.

Thanks for letting me share.

Time to soldier on..

Our Statement of Faith

We believe that God is the eternal king. He is an infinite, unchangeable Spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, goodness, justice, power and love. From all eternity He exists as the One Living and True God in three persons of one substance, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit equal in power and glory. we believe that God created mankind in His image, male and female, for relationship with Himself and to govern the earth. Under the temptation of Satan, our original parents fell from grace, bringing sin, sickness and God's judgment of death to the earth. Through the fall, Satan and his demonic hosts gained access to God's good creation. Creation now experiences the consequences and effects of Adam's original sin. Human beings are born into sin, subject to God's judgment of death and captive to Satan's kingdom of darkness. We believe that Jesus, God's Son, was sent to this world, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin, Mary, fully God and fully man in one person. He is humanity as God intended us to be. Jesus was anointed as God's Messiah and empowered by the Holy Spirit, ushering in God's kingdom reign on earth, overpowering the reign of Satan by resisting temptation, preaching the good news of salvation, healing the sick, casting out demons and raising the dead. Jesus' atoning death on the cross took God's judgment for sin which we deserved as law-breakers. Jesus' resurrection and ascent back to heaven opened the door for those who received salvation to begin a relationship with God.

Little Nets Into Deep Waters

Fishing nets were designed for one purpose only. To catch fish. Nets are no good if they stay on the boat. Nets serve no purpose if they are never used. I think maybe God sees us this way. We are all created for a purpose (by the way, the creator gets to define what our purpose is). Any other use besides the one we were created for does us no good. But when the creator places His hands upon us, casting us out into those scary, dark places with deep waters, it is then we can see the reality of our purpose. He knew there would be a catch waiting for us. I think I will be the net God has called me to be.

The Twelve Steps

As a community of people in recovery, we affirm that our higher power is Jesus Christ. He did for us what we could not do for ourselves. Just as God told the children of Israel He was going to give them a promised land, He has revealed to us that He desires to give us a "Promised Life." When Israel got to the promised land, God instructed them to go and in a possess it, fight for it and claim it. In recovery, the 12 Steps are the directions given to us on how to fight, possess and claim this promised life.
