LORD! I THIRST!

[Frank Lee]

In looking back at the time the Lord Jesus came to fetch me Himself according to His word in Ezekiel chapter 34.

Ezekiel 34:10-12 KJVS
Thus saith the Lord God ; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them. [11] For thus saith the Lord God ; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out. [12] As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.

In my newborn ignorance I thought that the move of God I was witness to in the 80's was the way things always were in church. How wrong I was.

There is a dearth of the words of God and of the moving of the Holy Spirit in this land. The lax and liberal spirit of the heathen citizens has spilled into the very church of God. The cross is not preached. The blood of Jesus is not preached. The baptism in the Holy Spirit is not preached and is even said to be not from God.

The gifts as speaking in tongues are said to be from the devil. I've been told that thus was a lying sign! Funny ain't it, the 33 years before being saved by Jesus the devil never did a thing but try and kill me.

We need revival friends starting with us. With me.
Lord delivereth us from deafness, from dryness, from the preachers of riches, gain and sowing of the wrong kind of seed. Sweep into our lives and blow open the church doors with your mighty rushing wind. Save us oh Lord and we'll be saved revive us and we can shout your name and your word from the roof tops. Revive us again so we can lift our head and heart and hands. Revive us Lord. Visit your people. In Jesus name we pray.

Just keep on giving God the glory! Too many people would rather be right in their own eyes than pleasing to God. The label they bear seems to makes no difference to them.

@Frank Lee :)
Yes Frank...good word indeed.
Keep on sowing your good seeds. It is so good to have your 'well' to drink from on this Site.

God has done wonders in me in the last 21 months. More I think than in the past 39 years believe it or not. Except right at the first.

I write. Please pray that the Holy Spirit will guide me with answers of peace and joy. The chief guidance in seeking an answer is peace and it's brother joy. They are never parted. They hold hands and always always walk together. God will give you an answer of peace when the solution comes and joy welling up inside is right there. When the God solution comes to you it settles over you that whatever it is will be OK. The answer of peace wells up like an artesian well and overflows combined with joy. Refreshing Genesis chapter 41.

Peace always surpasses understanding. I don't have to understand how He will do it. I don't care how He will do it. Keep His peace and ignore, resist having to understand. The world wants to know how God does things. Believers are not concentrated upon the how but upon rejoicing, thanksgiving and resting in the peace of God.

Two cars one is an old clunker smoking with rods knocking all rusted up and lurching down the highway at a crawl. Here comes a sleek low custom beauty with a v12 fuel injected engine and flying along. It is named peace and it zooms around the clunker named understanding. Got it? You got it.

Peace passes all understanding. I don't have to know the details of HOW He will deliver me or to UNDERSTAND. Not necessary. Only resting in His peace while He just does it.
Yes hold onto Him with all your might but the important thing is that He's holding you with His strong right arm. Once going to church I held my three year old daughter's hand as we went down the front porch steps. She gripped my hand as tight as she could as I held it. The Lord said "she believes that she is safe because she's holding on so tight but you know that you are really holding her and could even lift her by her hand".

Joanna was killed in a car accident not long after her fifteenth birthday. God has had to hold my hand and me. The night before her chapel service Jesus gave me a dream. In it I was at the funeral home chapel looking at the guest book which rests on a stand outside the chapel. Jesus told me "sign my name, Jesus Christ, at the very top of the first page above all the others. I was the first to see her being knit in her mother's womb and I was the last one to leave after she came to me".

The next day at the chapel I did as My wonderful Jesus told me. I signed in ink that guest book. We have it, and always will, with the aurhorized signature of Jesus Christ at the very top. The guest of honor.

Without His peace I would not be putting this down for someone to read. I do not know exactly what I'm supposed to do only that I'm to encourage the believers.

I have no idea why I poured out of me what I've written here this night but Jesus does and whoever it touches knows. Faith is continuing to send out messages of encouragement in the Lord God when no reply or acknowledgement is ever given.

I expect the greatest impact of what many of us post as encouragement or teaching or testimonials is upon some persons who never reply or make any acknowledgement that they ever read your words.

A missionary to Africa in the early 1800's came back to Scotland in an effort to raise funds to carry on the work of the gospel. The day he spoke at the small church was cold and rainy and only a scant handful of folks came to hear him speak on the work in darkest Africa. He was disappointed at attendance and felt low.

A teen aged boy was among the few listeners and he was captivated by the stories of God moving among the savages there. His name was David Livingston. Was the missionary's meeting g a failure?

Do what God tells you and leave the results to Him. What we may consider a failure can be a perfect work in His sight. The reverse is true also. Work with your might at what you know to do and leave the results up to Him never letting go of His perfect peace as you carry on with your mind fixed upon Him.

And I think that I also have the spirit of God. Peace be with you as you walk on. Amen

Thanks Frank. Your posts here have touched me deeply ...

As my wife and I prayed near midnight tonight in my spirit I saw a man leaning toward me with a note. The picture was very strong. Then the Holy Spirit said "Psalm 14:7".

Psalm 14:7 KJVS
Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the Lord bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

Amen Frank...good scripture to go to bed on. :)
