The Complete Package

Matthew 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

I heard a story today of a woman’s wedding day. For most, especially the bride, their wedding day can be one of the most stressful days of one’s life. Kate’s wedding day didn’t have any stress for her because she and her husband to be had purchased a complete wedding package from the hotel that would be hosting the wedding. The only thing that Kate and Chris needed to provide was what they were going to wear. Kate had so much peace that when the wedding photographer came to take the before pictures, he commented that she was the most relaxed bride he had ever seen.

There were some difficulties that came up during the day BUT because they had purchased the COMPLETE PACKAGE they didn’t have to worry because the hotel took care of it. A balloon that had deflated, it was immediately replaced. Someone was mistakenly seated in the wrong place, no worries the staff took care of it. No matter what did or would have come up the hotel’s staff had it covered because Kate and Chris had the complete package.

Jesus, at the cross, paid for us the complete package all we have to do is receive it by grace through faith. Once we do that we don’t have to worry about a thing. Not because we won’t have problems or trials but because we, through Christ, have the COMPLETE PACKAGE.

Thoughts from Isaiah 10:27

Thoughts from Isaiah 10:27 From Isaiah 10:27 we get the popular, but erroneous, sayings in the church, “the anointing breaks the yoke.” This started from the KJV translation of this verse. Most of the other English translations have translated it as the anointing oil or fat that breaks the yoke. The Hebrew word used in this verse is semen, pronounced sheh’-men, which means grease, especially liquid (as from the olive, often perfumed; figuratively, richness:-anointing,xfat (things), x fruitful, oil (-ed) ointment, olive, pine. (Strong’s definition). In looking at every verse where semen is used in the Old Testament it is speaking of the oil or the fat itself and not the specific act of anointing. Now with a proper understanding of what the verse we can see the real meaning and depth of what it is saying to us even now. To help with this I have included the verse here from 3 different English translations. I...

The Price and Cost for more of God and His Presence

The Price and Cost for more of God and His Presence I was reading an account of a preacher’s experience that I had previous heard him describe before in a sermon. Thought the account was familiar to me this time though it hit different. The experience was during a time he had spent months desiring and seeking more of God and His Presence. There were two statements that the preacher made from this account that the Lord highlighted for me. The first was “My request for more of God carried a price” and the second was from his cry to the Lord “I must have more of You at any cost!”. These statements when I had heard them before sounded very true and I totally had agreed with them. In fact, they had inspired me. This time, though, was different. This time there was at first, for a moment fear and not a Godly fear. No, it was a fear that the price I would have to pay would be the cost of the life of one or mor...

The Worst Time

The Worst Time 2 days ago, as I was praying, I said to the LORD that this was the worst time for my house to have a fire. It is winter, construction costs high and getting hire, interest rates are still high and before I could had more to the list Holy Spirit interrupted. He said that actually this was the perfect time. He reminded me of the 2 times in my life that God provided for me the most. The first when I was going to college and didn’t know how I was going to pay for it. I had no hope for a scholarship yet God gave me one that I didn’t even apply for. We farmed and that year we had a horrible drought and most of our crops were on sandy soil with no irrigation but we had the best year we ever had. The second time was during the great recession in 08 when I lost my job and there wasn’t a job to replace it. The Lord provided a bunch of small jobs and other people to provide money to cover every bill and more. I was so blessed that I friend I worked with sti...
