This is true for almost all of my Journaling Prayer but especially for this one… Jesus is not just speaking to me.  He is speaking to all who will hear Him.  So, every time you see my name, insert yours and let the Lord bless you as only He can.

A time for war and a time for peace. (Eccl. 3:8)

Jesus said things that would be considered heresy if someone today said them. "He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life" (Jn. 6:54). This statement prompted me to do a deep dive into "heretics" and "heresy" in the New Testament.

In my vision, my flashlight beam is weak and not fully lighting my way. As I journal, I hear the Lord say…

The above question has been emailed to me on several occasions. If we sin, we grieve the Holy Spirit. If we repent, we restore our relationship with Him. Psalm 51 shows the steps to take. It is below from The Passion Translation.

Let’s stand up, get involved and restore our nation! Here are wonderful resources to assist you. Let's disciple our nation as we have been commanded to do (Matt. 28:19,20).

LaWanda - O precious Jesus.  I love you, Lord.  Thank you, Jesus.  Thank you that this attack has ended.  Thank you for your grace continually poured out on me.  Thank you for allowing me to see Your word is the hatchet, the weapon, to be planted in the enemy’s gut.

LaWanda - Praise God from whom all blessings flow.  I always thought that “God” was God the Father, Lord.  I thank you for all you are – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  I feel like I know Jesus and the Holy Spirit to some degree but I don’t feel like I know the Father at all.  O Ancient of Days, help me to know you – reveal yourself to me through Jesus and Holy Spirit today.

LaWanda – I praise you.  I thank you, Lord.  How you are continuing to pour yourself out on me!  Even in these moments this morning as I read your word.  Precious, Jesus, Thank you.

I see you this morning as the Shepherd.  You are carrying me again - that sheep with my name on it, is in your arms.  If it is possible for a lamb to smile, I am smiling because as we are walking you are speaking words of blessing over me.  Words of life, words of joy.  Almost like singing, Lord.  Amazing, Lord.  Just amazing.  What are you saying to me, Lord, in that moment and in this one?
