BEA's Random Thoughts

I love my Savior so desperately that I cannot help but love you too! Embrace the love... understand the difference... eat together at the table of the Lord with fellowship and peace in Christ Jesus Amen!
 
I Believe in Christ,  as I believe in the sunrise. Not because I can see the sun but because it's light lets me see.
 
Hellooo! I Believe in God the Father, in His son Jesus Christ & in the Holy Ghost. I believe all this is truth! This proves I am a Christian. Oh not so... Satan believes in God the Creator, in God's Son Jesus Christ & in the presence of the earthly Holy Spirit. Proof of a Christian comes from their works. Our acts speak the truth that our words profess & our hearts believe. God's Grace saves us but our fruit & our works prove who we are or... are not!
 
The first person to understand that Christ died for his sins was Barabbas. How hard it must have been to watch another man die in your place, when all along you knew it was to be you up there dying on that cross.
 
Before you can have hope you must have faith. Hope without faith leaves the door open to doubt. But hope through faith is nothing less than waiting & knowing God's Will shall be done. Faith = God's Will & Hope = Patience ~Amen
  
A Tree Makes the Invisible Visible. You cannot see the wind until it moves through the rusting leaves. Nor did we recognize Jesus as our Savior until He died on a tree. Look to the trees for strengh: for in their boughs... a cross you will always see.
 
Thy Garden Grows! Blessed is my garden when His rain does fall. Blessed is my life in His reign over all.
 
Two Ships Set Sail on the soul same wind. One trims her sails against the wind and sets sail on her own. The other trims her sails to catch the wind and believes it blow her home. Amen In memory of Ella Wilcox - 'Tis the set of the sails and not the gales, that tells the way we go.
 
I do not work my soul to save. That work my Lord has done. But I will work like any slave, for love of God's dear Son. Author Unknown
  
Jesus brought us to God & to forgiveness. His teachings of the Word are simple, clear & pure. As time passed, the Greeks turned the Word into a philosophy. The Romans turned it into a government. When the Europeans got hold of it they turned it into a culture. Sadly, the United States recieved the Word and turned it into a business." Author Unknown
 
The Gray Area.  God gave us light, free will & rules. Satan gave us darkness, temptation & sin. Mankind likes to blend the two & live in the the middle: the gray area. Gray is not God's Will. Gray is man's will & excuse to justify his sin. Reality is Light & Dark, there is no gray. You either are - or you are not!

Our Lord's Prayer - the lost teaching!

Proverbs 1:7
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge;
   fools despise wisdom and instruction.

 
Our Lord Jesus Christ taught His Apostles how to pray when they asked... so we are going to teach you how to pray because you asked. We are going to reveal to you WHY Jesus Christ taught the prayer He did. The world knows it as the Lord's Prayer or The Our Father but very few know why Christ picked these words in this order - and few realize it is powerful.
 
The Power of this Prayer is the 7 Blessings of the Holy Spirit revealed to us. Want to know more about the Power of the Holy Spirit come join us we will reveal to you the Power of His Holy Spirit that no one has probably ever taught you - all the teachings are in the Holy Word of God: our Holy Bibles and this was known by all Jews and taught to all people by the decipiles of Jesus Christ after the first Penecost - when the Holy Spirit came to dwell in believers. Don't worry we don't speak in tongues or dance with snakes or drink poison although we don't condemn this belief if it yours. We are just non-denominational Protestants who believe the Holy Word of God is perfection and is filled with lost teachings of the church due to man's corruption.  
 
All the children and people we have taught this to, all make a connection to a very, very old childhood hand game when this teaching was still being taught so it will make total sense to you and be easy to understand and learn.  
 
Here's the church and here's the steeple. Open the doors and see all the people.
 
Let's give you a quick start...
Well friend the thumbs "are" the doors - the door to knowledge and wisdom - Proverbs 1:5-7 And those pointer fingers of yours are the steeple and what do steeples represent? The represent the Glory of God.
  
Now let's learn how to pray as Christ taught us to pray - remember it's only words unless the heart speaks for us.
Start with your hands claped together in a tight ball of love - your hand and His hand.
Then as you ask for each blessing to be upon you, raise the finger up that corresponds to each blessing.
 
Ready?...
Hands clasped together in Love
Ask the Lord to know how much you love Him and give thanks and praise for His love for you
 
Straighten out the thumbs so they look like doors - doors to Wisdom
Ask for the Wisdom of God to always be upon you so that you will always walk in His Will not yours.
 
Pointer fingers are next... oh the Glory of God is awesome. Ask for you to always see His Glory and ask for Him to allow you to show His Glory to all those you come in contact with.
 
The middle fingers are the longest and straightest of your hand and they stand for the Holy Word of God or the Truth of God. Ask to know His Truth and help to understand ans use it and... spread it to those He puts in your presence.
 
Now you should have the idea so continue on with the rest of the prayer using your own words and ask God to teach you what each Blessing means to you and your life. His Holy Spirit is waiting to teach you - ask and you will receive! Rather than asking for wants and needs give praise and worship - He knows what you need. You just need to know Him and the blessings He has to offer so you will know how to ask for His Will to be done. Amen

Grace fills all our needs.

The Teaching Behind the Lord's Prayer Revealing the 7 Blessings to Pray

These are the 7 Blessings of the Holy Spirit showing each finger

Remember you start with the hands clasped together in a ball as LOVE

and the finished hand (with all finger pointing upward to God) represent His FAITH that He gives us.

LOVE - WISDOM - GLORY - TRUTH - GRACE - POWER - FAITH

 

 Learn this "handy" teaching and you will always know how to pray.

Make sure each one of your prayers start with praise and thanksgiving.

You were saved when you realized you were a sinner and you asked Christ to be your Savior; you asked for His Grace then... so don't stop now.

Always search your heart for any transgression left unrepentant and

confess your trespasses and claim your forgiveness and give thanks.

 

Many people are confused by the different translations for sin in the Lord's Prayer. Should I say transgressions, debts, sin or what? We explain it this way - when we believe Christ is the Savior and that His body bore all the sins of mankind past, present and future and He died to sin... sins against God were no more and Grace was given. However we still sin against our neighbor and ourselves. God sees us with Grace and our sins against Him were reduced to sins or transgressions against the world and ourselves. This is why good works are stressed in the Word of the Gospel.

 

We were saved by Grace and we live "in and by" His Grace - constantly being covered by with His Grace

because we constantly sin - we must constantly repent to see for ourselves where we fall short.

Then you can speak your heart and ask what you need (not want). When we pray for a need do not be selfish. Remember you are not alone in this need - others just like you are suffering or needing too, When we ask for somethng we are asking to see God's Glory in our lives. When we pray it is a conversation and a bond between the Father and you His child. When a prayer is answered it is proof of God in our lives a should be seen a glorious - His glory made known to us. Spend time, think and speak deeply; know your need and listen for His answer. When you ask as so that you may see His Glory not to just fulfill your need. Finish your prayer with full knowledge that His Will is perfect and His Will must be done. Above all else always remember His Will must be served just as Jesus reveals in His garden prayer in Luke 22:42.

 

All joy and trials in our life serve His Glorious Plan. If you can't see and feel His protection in the sorrow ask for it to be given to you. If you have a question, a desire for strength and comfort or have a need...

ask and you WILL receive - don't believe this click here.

 

If it has been awhile since you last spoke to Him expect Him to test your commitment to your plea. Will you aske today anf forget Him tomorrow? He tells us to knock so if you are sincer, pound on His door, pled and beg - you walked away now you need to prove you're back

and that you need His help to keep you faithful.

Not sure if you believe all this; then ask Him to help your disbelief! 

To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.”

St. Thomas Aquinas
