It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to put confidence in man. I thank thee that thou hast answered me and hast become my salvation

The Words of Jesus of Nazareth by Lee Cantelon

A Place for You

 

I go to prepare a place for you.

 

Know this: if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and take you to be there with me; so that where I am, there you may be also. Let not your heart be troubled: you believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I must go away, but I will come again to you. If you truly loved me you would rejoice, because I return to the Father.

Abba, Father, Lord God, thankful, yet humble that t is by Your grace and mercy alone that I walk, I do ask and pray for Your blessings indeed. That your hand would be with me and mine to keep us from evil and from causing pain. I pray that You would touch our hearts through the spirit of the Advent season awakening us to the importance to put and keep Jesus at the center of our Christmas; and that through and in Jesus take refuge in His love and passion for us by doing Your will for us first, above our desires, above all. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

God overthrows the thrones of those who are disobedient to His law. My political views are those of the Our Father.

Isaiah 26:1-6
Psalm 118:1, 8-9, 19-21, 25-27

8  It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to put confidence in man.  21  I thank thee that thou hast answered me and hast become my salvation. 
Matthew 7:21, 24-27

21  "Not every one who says to me, `Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.  24  "Every one then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house upon the rock;  25  and the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.  26  And every one who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house upon the sand;  27  and the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell; and great was the fall of it."

Audio books I am listening to and other books or readings I am reading:

The Processes: Ask and It Is Given, Volume 2 (Unabridged) Ask and It Is Given, by Esther and Jerry Hicks, which presents the teachings of the nonphysical entity Abraham, will help you learn how to manifest your desires so that you’re living the joyous and fulfilling life you deserve. As you listen, you’ll discover powerful processes that will help you go with the positive flow of life. It’s your birthright to live a life filled with everything that is good, and this audio program will show you how to make it so in every way!

There’s No Such Thing as "Business" Ethics (Unabridged) Best-selling author and expert on leadership John C. Maxwell claims there is only one rule for business. How does a person judge what is ethical? Sometimes it’s clear. You know Enron’s leaders were in the wrong. But is it always easy to see where the line is in your life? What’s the standard? And can it work in all situations? John C. Maxwell thinks it can. When the New York Times best-selling author, successful businessman, and former pastor was asked about his thoughts on business ethics, his response was, "There’s no such thing. There’s only ethics." Maxwell asserts there’s one ethical standard for all behavior. And you might be surprised by what it’s based on. Did you know that a variation of the Golden Rule exists in every major religion? In There’s No Such Thing as Business Ethics, Maxwell shows how people can live with integrity by using the Golden Rule as their standard (regardless of religion, culture, or circumstances). Along the way, he delves into the desires of the human heart, reveals the five most common causes that get people off track ethically, and teaches how to develop the Midas touch when it comes to integrity.
