This is No Longer My Life

Dear Readers,                                              photo credit google

I woke this morning with a friend heavy on my heart. I had got some news about this friend the night before and it overflowed my heart with tears for them and for their family. I don’t know if I will ever see them again or be able see them and know them in the way that I used to but I know this, the Lord does and won’t let them go. It has been almost a year since the events occurred and it breaks my heart even more so that I’ve only just found out about it now. A whole year! I cannot fathom it.                                             

I have decided to enter into a prayer fast for my friend. Any who may read this please join me in praying for her, in your own time, in your own way but I believe in the power of prayer. It is our main weapon we have on this earth to combat in war. Oswald this morning I felt pinpointed my feelings in many ways. Thank you Jesus for the power of grief to bring me closer to you.

The Glory That’s Unsurpassed
By Oswald Chambers
…the Lord Jesus…has sent me that you may receive your sight… —Acts 9:17

When Paul received his sight, he also received spiritual insight into the Person of Jesus Christ. His entire life and preaching from that point on were totally consumed with nothing but Jesus Christ— “For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified”  (1 Corinthians 2:2). Paul never again allowed anything to attract and hold the attention of his mind and soul except the face of Jesus Christ.

We must learn to maintain a strong degree of character in our lives, even to the level that has been revealed in our vision of Jesus Christ.

The lasting characteristic of a spiritual man is the ability to understand correctly the meaning of the Lord Jesus Christ in his life, and the ability to explain the purposes of God to others. The overruling passion of his life is Jesus Christ. Whenever you see this quality in a person, you get the feeling that he is truly a man after God’s own heart (see Acts 13:22).

Never allow anything to divert you from your insight into Jesus Christ. It is the true test of whether you are spiritual or not. To be unspiritual means that other things have a growing fascination for you.
Since mine eyes have looked on Jesus,
I’ve lost sight of all beside,
So enchained my spirit’s vision,
Gazing on the Crucified.
