What Should We Be Doing Until The Lord Returns? by Myra Boozer

In Matthew 25, Jesus gives parables that can help us understand what should be a priority for the child of God. First, He tells of ten virgins, and at midnight the cry was made, "Behold, the Bridegroom cometh." He tells us five were wise and five were foolish. What made them different? It was their lack of oil. Five ran out and asked to borrow from those five who had oil. The wise had to answer NO. This shows us we cannot give away what we have. Each person has to receive for themselves. When they couldn't borrow, they had to leave to find more oil, and the bridegroom came while they were gone.

In verse 10, "And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were READY went in with him to the marriage: and the door was SHUT." This makes me think of Noah and the Ark. God shut the door to the Ark when it was time, and that was all that went in. There will be no allowances for the procrastinators, the lazy, the apathetic, or the careless.

We must be WISE and be filled with His Spirit, as the oil represents the Holy Spirit. We must be watching and waiting. We must stay the course! No playing around, running here and there, doing other things that can so easily beset us. The wise virgins stayed near the door, and when the bridegroom came, they were READY. So, we must constantly be Watching for His Return and Listening for His sound!

Matt. 25:13, "WATCH therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh." My heart says it won't be long until we hear the sound. Lord, help us to be full and overflowing with Your Holy Spirit, Ready to leave when You Return! 

If He Asks For Bread?

Luke 11:11, “If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone?...”

As Christians, what do we have to give to a desperate and pain-ridden world? What do we have to offer the starving, the lost, the dying humanity all around us? Can we observe the horrific battle that takes place in our presence each and every day? Do we see the joyless faces among us, the empty stares, the emptiness of soul?

Where has their light gone? Proverbs 15:30, “The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report maketh the bones fat.” The condition of the heart and soul shines through the eyes but may not be evident to the casual observer. Can we be more than a casual observer, or will we continue with business as usual? Can we see precious souls in the conflict of their lives and be an instrument for their Divine encounter? True ministry, Holy Spirit ministry, will always include a Divine encounter; otherwise, it is only an expression of religious habit!

Jesus said in John 6:32, “...Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. 34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. 35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.” The spiritually emaciated world is in need of the Living Bread! What then shall we do? We will give them the true Bread of Life. We will give them Jesus! (continued) 

All For The Glory Of God! by Myra Boozer

I had this awesome experience a few years ago! I'm sharing it here: “All For The Glory Of God.” Just as the worship music swelled and the sun spread its crystal-clear light through the trees, I raised my hands in glorious worship, and the LORD TOUCHED ME. Thank you, Jesus! He really touched me!! I proclaim, He touched me! Thank you, Jesus!

I had told the Lord during the early morning hours, "I have gone my limit; I can't deal with this pain!" I must have you, Jesus, because I don't know what to do! This was on a Thursday morning. I was instantly touched! The pain left, and I slept like a baby Thursday night with no pain! But Saturday, around 3 am, I began to get restless and couldn't sleep or get comfortable. The pain started to give me misery every way I turned, so I was up fairly early, and I put my worship music on, and this is what I saw again. With my hands lifted high, I began to praise God and declare my healing, as I watched the Sun break forth into my room and, most importantly, into my heart. This gave me so much hope...that I never walk alone...that He is always near and He listens when I call.

Sometime Saturday night, before I was awakened at 3 am, I had a short dream...and I believe it applies to my healing. I will say before I start...I HATE SNAKES...just so you know. In this dream, I had a small baby snake in my hands. It was very cold, and I wanted to warm it up (what???). So, I placed it on my chest next to my skin...and tried to warm it. The next thing I remember, it clamped down on my left forefinger and would not let go. I was not in pain or afraid, but I saw the snake in a different light, and I wanted it OFF my finger. It took a while, but it finally came off. That is all I remember.

This is the meaning I received...sometimes pain wants to come back and reside in our body...it comes as small pain...not like it was before (vicious), but you know, it is the same pain...you began to reason with it and think, oh, I can take a Tylenol with thoughts of, "I may continue to have a little pain," and before you know it... that pain has latched back on with vengeance...not willing to let go. I must see the enemy as the enemy and recognize him for who he is. “Never give up and never give in to your enemy” is a great rule!

I got up with a determination to seek the Lord at my window again and raise my hands in worship to the ONE who Heals. I have made it good all day. "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me," Philippians 4:13 KJV.

I have continued to open my blinds and raise my hands to give God the glory. I praise Him in my battle with pain. I am not willing to give up! I press on, and I will continue to claim my healing in the LIGHT of His pure redemption! Thanks be unto God who gives us the VICTORY!!! Today I have Victory in Jesus, because I trust Him to help me every day that I live. No, I haven't been pain-free all the time, but neither have I given up. I will continue to call on the Lord and keep trusting in Him! I am determined to not lean on my own understanding, because when I do, I am helpless. I live in the power of His might and continue to spread His good news because He strengthens me! All for the Glory of God! 

The Light Of Pure Redemption!

Isaiah 59:1, “Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:”

The condition of our world is not God’s fault! Sin has separated mankind from God, but it’s not God’s fault! Man has chosen to walk in the path of sin rather than heed God’s counsel and correction.

The call of God to all humanity is to repent and return to God in covenant relationship through Jesus Christ. Any people who expect the favor and covering of God must approach Him in repentance and follow in obedience. One of the greatest judgments that God brought against Israel was their failure to uphold “truth and justice.” That principle is just as relevant to our world today. If God brought the leadership of Israel to judgment because of their lack of truth and justice, He will do the same for every generation.

We must have the intervention of God in these last days. Let all men in every place fall prostrate before Him, casting all care upon Him, and receive His light of pure redemption. And let His perfect light be exercised through me. Jesus Christ alone is the remedy for ALL our sin and The Light Of Pure Redemption! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYefLBtqQyQ 

When We Know God As Our Father, All Is Well! by Myra Boozer

Written 6 years ago today... Today, as I prayed for my family, my country, and my friends, I was made aware of something beautiful... I was walking through the house, praying, instead of being shut up in the bathroom, since Papa was out on a job and Beckett was with his Mom...

I had the house to myself... just me and God... I was almost finished praying when I looked out the front and saw the dead, dead grass... which is sad, to say the least... but on that grass was a classical show of great splendor... It touched my heart so much...

I counted 2 bright red birds and 3 female red birds....2 huge blue jays, that came swooping down...and on one side of the huge maple tree was a woodpecker and on the other a very fast and furious long-tail squirrel …that was a total of 9 creatures that were desperate to find something on the ground or on the tree...

I thought how beautiful, as they were about the business that God created them for...They reminded me of us ...the people that God himself created... We are much like them ... running to and fro as fast and determined as they were...But I thought, are they finding anything to sustain them...everything looks so hopelessly dead...Are we finding anything to sustain us??? We must not give up on God...He that created us will provide for us just as He takes care of the lilies in the fields and feeds the little birds...

When we know God is our Father, All is Well...

When we know God is for us and not against us,

All is Well...

When we know God is fighting for us,

All is Well...

When we know God is in control,

All is Well...

When we know God is the Victor,

All is Well! 

The Old Life Will Pass Away!

2 Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.”

We must experience spiritual transformation! What God has purposed will require the power of the Holy Spirit to transform this fleshly tabernacle into a spiritual habitation for Himself. “Transformation is a complete or major change in someone's or something's appearance, form, etc.”

This process begins with the first step to salvation, which is repentance. Acts 3:19, “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;” Peter was addressing the Jewish unbelievers regarding their rejection and crucifixion of Jesus, their Messiah. This comes after the healing of the lame man at the gate of the temple. The people marveled at this act. However, Peter said, you did what you did through ignorance, but God revealed His coming through the mouth of the prophets, and that Christ should suffer and die. Therefore, repent of your ignorance and sinful disobedience and be restored. Through this message, God was giving them another chance for redemption. Repentance is not only a change of mind but a change of heart brought about by the transforming power of the Holy Spirit in a penitent soul.

This transformation is initiated by the renewing of the mind. The Word states, “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:” Phil. 2:5. Have the mind of Christ, rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation and continuing instant in prayer. Walk in this life in Divine communion with the Father, having continued access to His strength, power, wisdom, and deliverance.

We cannot think like the world thinks and walk like the world walks and expect to be a citizen of the Kingdom of God and, as such, walk in unrestricted communion with Him. That is why we must experience a change in our temporal mindset, a spiritual transformation brought about by the Holy Spirit in response to our obedience and submission to Him. We are regenerated by the Holy Spirit to walk in intimate, holy, and unrestrained relationship with God. What a gift God has given to all who will believe His promise in Jesus Christ! The Old Life Will Pass Away! 

Don't Follow The Crowd! by Myra Boozer

When we FOLLOW the LORD, we will NOT FOLLOW the CROWD. We will take a different path: the path of Holy living, Holy speech, Holy thinking, Holy conduct, Holy attitude. God said in His Word, "Be ye Holy, as I am Holy." Christ is coming for a holy people, a holy Church without blemish. Ephesians 5:27, "That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle or any such thing but that it should be holy and without blemish."

I was taught at an early age that if you're in doubt about something, don't do it. If it seems to be wrong, it probably is! If it doesn't bring Glory and Honor to God, leave it. Now, the crowd doesn't understand that kind of talk. They have delighted in making their rules. Do what feels good to you. Don't concern yourself about what God or anyone else might think.

If you have been following the crowd, you still have time to get out of that trap. But I will say you can't do it on your own. You must fall upon your knees in repentance and trust God to show you the way. He says in His Word, there is a way that seems right unto man, but the end is destruction. That is why we can't trust ourselves. We must have Christ to clean our hearts and our minds in order to know what He requires, in order to have ears to hear His voice.

Our guessing and hoping that we are on the right path isn't good enough. The Lord purchased our salvation, and He knows the path that leads home. Unless He leads, guides, and directs our ways, we might as well stay with the crowd. This sounds strong, but it is time we give strong Godly advice, because "the world" is creating strong delusion (false belief).

GOD HELP US ALL TO STAY ON THE PATH OF RIGHT LIVING....IT IS THE ONLY WAY TO BE SAVED. John chapter 10 explains to us that Jesus is the good shepherd. He gave his precious life for His sheep. He knows His sheep by name, and when He calls them, they FOLLOW Him...and another they will NOT FOLLOW.

If the path you're on seems crowded with lots of happy-go-lucky people...not concerned about the day we're living in...if they are still talking the same old talk and walking the same old walk...YOU are definitely FOLLOWING THE CROWD. "Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it," Matthew 7:14. Don’t Follow The Crowd!
