It is said names have meaning. IATP’OS To know Him and the power of His Resurrection. God has many names.. Many prayers are the mentioning of someone that is sick.  On every page of the gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke, Jesus is forgiving sins and healing.  Every manner of disease is called out, healed and then commanded,  “Go and sin no more.” In the Garden of Eden there was no sin, nor disease.  Jesus would not have had to come,…..

“For the preaching of the cross is  to them that perish foolishness;  I  will destroy the wisdom of the wise, not many wise, mighty and noble are called and no flesh shall glory in his own presence…”   “That, according as it is written, He that glorified, let him glorify the Lord.”   1 corinthians 1:31  Danny wondered as he set across from God in prayer and ask, “through all these years God have I, do I, am I falling…..

  Pursue our Prayer’s Yes, but Do it in Another Manner*   “Pray without ceasing, But there is a  living to be made so to survive.  Would I not be classed as an infidel and not keeping care of my family properly?  I cannot always be in the act of devotion;  would it not produce madness, the  imbalance of important commitment? We must, therefore change the modus or the manner of operation if we are ceaselessly to continue in prayer……

  Alone Sitting in the garden alone,  the fragrance of each rose pedal enhance’s the mind and comforts the heart.  Resting from a long day  man thinks and too believe’s,  all is well with his soul.   Gazing across the high mountains, the warm sun slowly disappears into her set,  as she whisper’s good night. The rocks soon cool as darkness will block the path home. In this place peace and solace seem to live continually and share with all…..

If you lived next door I would knock and have something delicious you couldn’t refuse or I’d come often and you’d feel guilty and let me stay awhile. I would gain your trust that you would talk to me and then I would listen.. I know you have something I need.  Why do I say that?  Because there is a burning in my heart and it won’t go away.  If I told you this, I know you would smile and…..

A good shepherd always precedes the flock, to discover the greenest patches of grass and the least stony path, so does Jesus ever keep in front of the soul that trusts and loves him.  It is our art to allow as small a space as possible to intervene between his footsteps and our own. We must be willing to be led. There is so much natural impetuosity in us to shoot on in front and “prospect” for ourselves. Is that…..

I got a phone call yesterday asking me a very important question and now I ponder on it in my mind? “I need God, how should I pray?”  “When do I pray to God, or to Jesus or to the Holy Ghost?”  Well that’s a good question and one of good desire. I remember myself wondering the same question and seeking out what to do.. I’m not a professional of any sort, but I am curious, and like to know…..

And How It Would Be   Sometimes I imagine Heaven and how it will be?  In my Father’s house are many mansions: I go to prepare a place for you.  I have been in mansions, have you? Vanderbilt and Biltmore and a few more I’ve seen. A lady standing behind me, in line, responded to her friend.  “I could not live like this, could you?”  Standing on a rug of value, more,  than to us a home or two… I…..
