Hab 2:2-3 The Lord answered me: “Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it. For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay. Joel 2:28 It shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; your sons & your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, & your young men shall see visions. 1Cor 2:9 It is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love Him. —Vision – the ability to see; the ability to imagine; & the ability to dream! In 1526 William Tyndale had a vision! He believed that every person should have a copy of the scripture to read in their own language! He converted the New Testament, But was burned at the stake before he could convert the Old Testament in 1535! In 1604 King James commissioned a group of scholars to write the King James Version of the Bible! This is the one that most read today! What is your vision? What would you be willing to die for? Maybe God is speaking & no one is listening! But maybe we are not even willing to spend time reading that which is so available today! Maybe just knowing that there was a man or many men that struggled to get God’s words available, we will spend a little time pondering His words! This could open the windows of heaven so that He can pour forth more! Love Mel
Numbers 11:13-15 Moses Was Frustrated and God Understood
Numbers 11:13-15 Where can I get meat for all these people? They keep wailing to me, ‘Give us meat to eat!’ I cannot carry all these people by myself; the burden is too heavy for me. If this is how you intend to treat me, just go ahead & kill me. Do me a favor & spare me this misery!” Job 3:11 Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly. 1Kings 19:1-4 Now Ahab told Jezebel everything Elijah had done & how he had killed all the prophets with the sword. So Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah to say, “May the Gods deal with me, be it ever so severely, if by this time tomorrow I do not make your life like that of one of them.”
Elijah was afraid & ran for his life. When he came to Beersheba in Judah, he left his servant there, while he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness. He came to a broom bush, sat down under it & prayed that he might die. “I have had enough, LORD,” he said. “Take my life; I am no better than my ancestors. Jonah 4 God said to Jonah, “Is it right for you to be angry about the plant?” “It is,” he said. “And I’m so angry I wish I were dead.” — God has a divine plan! Moses, Job, Elijah, & Jonah did great things for God! They also got very frustrated when they lost their focus! God promises that ALL things are possible with Christ who strengthens us! That is the key! Don’t forget to go to Him for strength! Love Mel
John 1:1 In The Beginning was The Word and The Word Was God!
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, & the Word was with God, & the Word was God. Deut 4:2 You shall not add to the word that I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God that I command you. Matt 5:18 For truly, I say to you, until heaven & earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. Matt 5:17 Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. — So thankful that Christ came to fulfill the word! It is He who will accomplish it all! So grateful! Have you ever come up against something that you could do absolutely nothing to change the outcome! This is those hard places that require HELP! Well I am here to tell you He HELPS! And HELPS! How awesome is that! Love Mel
