Event
Meeting with Stephen

Here and Now
I slept nice and long last night almost 7 hours. My thoughts upon Papa Joe and his needs to pay off his debts and the possible risks involved if we work together in the future. Praying for GOD's grace upon us.

Scriptures
Deuteronomy 28
ESV
45 “All these curses shall come upon you and pursue you and overtake you till you are destroyed, because you did not obey the voice of the Lord your God, to keep his commandments and his statutes that he commanded you. 46 They shall be a sign and a wonder against you and your offspring forever. 47 Because you did not serve the Lord your God with joyfulness and gladness of heart, because of the abundance of all things, 48 therefore you shall serve your enemies whom the Lord will send against you, in hunger and thirst, in nakedness, and lacking everything. And he will put a yoke of iron on your neck until he has destroyed you.

Jeremiah 39
17 But I will deliver you on that day, declares the Lord, and you shall not be given into the hand of the men of whom you are afraid. 18 For I will surely save you, and you shall not fall by the sword, but you shall have your life as a prize of war, because you have put your trust in me, declares the Lord.’”

Psalms 49

English Standard Version

Why Should I Fear in Times of Trouble?

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah.

Hear this, all peoples!    Give ear, all inhabitants of the world,

both low and high,    rich and poor together!

My mouth shall speak wisdom;    the meditation of my heart shall be understanding.

I will incline my ear to a proverb;    I will solve my riddle to the music of the lyre.

Why should I fear in times of trouble,    when the iniquity of those who cheat me surrounds me,

those who trust in their wealth    and boast of the abundance of their riches?

Truly no man can ransom another,    or give to God the price of his life,

for the ransom of their life is costly    and can never suffice,

that he should live on forever    and never see the pit.

10 For he sees that even the wise die;    the fool and the stupid alike must perish    and leave their wealth to others.

11 Their graves are their homes forever,[a]    their dwelling places to all generations,    though they called lands by their own names.

12 Man in his pomp will not remain;    he is like the beasts that perish.

13 This is the path of those who have foolish confidence;    yet after them people approve of their boasts.[b] Selah

14 Like sheep they are appointed for Sheol;    death shall be their shepherd,and the upright shall rule over them in the morning.    Their form shall be consumed in Sheol, with no place to dwell.

15 But God will ransom my soul from the power of Sheol,    for he will receive me. Selah

16 Be not afraid when a man becomes rich,    when the glory of his house increases.

17 For when he dies he will carry nothing away;    his glory will not go down after him.

18 For though, while he lives, he counts himself blessed—and though you get praise when you do well for yourself—

19 his soul will go to the generation of his fathers, who will never again see light.

20 Man in his pomp yet without understanding is like the beasts that perish.

ObservationGOD wants us to diligently enrich (Feed) ourselves of HIS WORD and obey HIS Commandments or else we will be cursed because HE is a GOD who executes justice. At the same time HE blesses the obedient and faithful yet HE despises those who do not serve HIM with gladness and joy even after GOD has blessed them, when we do not have gratefulness in our hearts, we end up being cursed as well. But GOD delivers those who trust in HIM. As I read Psalm 49 I don't know why but my thoughts go back to PaJoe, maybe he needs to hear this Psalm and be humble in his present situation.

ApplicationI will strive to rejoice and keep trusting in GOD who is in full control over my life. I will not do anything more to get what I want, because there is nothing I can do. I need to trust GOD with my comfortable life, because getting married is something only GOD can give and if HE has not given these things yet to me, it only means, I am not yet ready. I will trust GOD that HE knows what HE is doing and so I believe HE is doing what is best for me.

PrayersDear AVI,O HOLY HOLY HOLY are YOU O GOD Almighty - YESHUA HaMashiach, KING of the Universe! I bless YOU O GOD for there is no other GOD but YOU who rules and reigns over all heavens and the earth. Let YOUR kingdom come and YOUR will be done unto me and everyone else around me, working with me, connected to me, my family, workers and friends here on earth as it is in heaven. O LORD, I pray for the unsaved and those who do not love YOU - Stephen, Benita, Janine Rose, Carlo, Sandro, Jennifer, I pray O GOD that YOU encounter them, please and save them, deliver them, heal them for YOU are the GREAT GOD who has moved me to pray for them, even for Rosielyn our consultant who is seeking YOU. I pray O GOD fill us with YOUR Love and pour out YOUR HOLY SPIRIT upon us O GOD. I pray that YOU speak to PapaJoe regarding what he needs to learn in life to be blessed and not cursed. I pray O GOD, reveal YOUR plans and YOUR will for us. I pray O GOD, take care of us. I ask YOU O GOD to give us wisdom. I ask YOU O GOD, to secure me with YOUR love and truth, that I will always depend on YOU for all things and look to YOU. I do not want to hold on to the things I cannot have, so I let them go to YOU O GOD, I let Stephen go, I release Stephen to YOU O GOD please help me to no longer hope in a man. But to hope and trust only in YOU for YOU O GOD will never fail me, YOU KING JESUS are faithful and true and my trust and loving devotion belongs to YOU. Forgive me O GOD when I have hurt YOU by making YOU feel jealous, by not putting YOU first, by putting my needs and wants first, forgive me O GOD, when I love myself more than YOU forgive me O GOD, please forgive me for failing YOU please help me to always put YOU first and YOUR kingdom first above my needs. Please help me to surrender myself back to YOU and to obey YOU no matter what. I pray that YOU bless my meeting with Stephen and whatever YOU want me to speak to him, I pray that YOU will use my mouth and my life to speak YOUR WORD to him. Do not lead me anymore to testings or trials O GOD, for I fail YOU on my own but deliver me, make me pass the test that YOU put me through because I can never make it on my own, without YOU. For YOU alone enable me, YOU are the reason why I am strong, why I am blessed, it's all because of YOU. So I pray O GOD take care of me, and let my love only be upon YOU. Please GOD deal with those who are proud and humble them and I pray that YOU grace and love always surround me. For YOU are my Shepherd, O GOD that keeps me joyful and glad in YOUR Presence. Unto YOU belong all the glory honor and praise.
In the Name of YESHUA Amen!
