Remember_Be Still

 

 Remember that there are times when what we want to be is still and remember that being still, it's something that actually needs to be practiced certainly in our age, certainly in the United States of America in 2025. Being still is very far from the norm, it would seem there's an awful lot of noise in our culture.

For example, almost everything is portrayed with music in midst. You almost never go into any situation without some music in the background somehow being involved in life. I think we got trained to experience that through the movies of the 50 60s and 70s and the 9 into the 80s, 90s in 2000 etc. All of those stories had music in the background. Called background music. 

So when we recount those times that we're remembering situations where we were trying to be still, it might be helpful to recount the fact that there are very few moments, where we're not somehow trying to interject music into a life that may not have music. Because there are times when you don't want the presence of any sound; because that is going to get between and the still small voice that whispers, and it's important sometimes, to recount those moments when you've actually been still, and you've actually heard God. 

Now people get creeped out about that. And I don't think that they should. Look if it doesn't bother you that God is God, it shouldn't bother you that God speaks, and it shouldn't seem odd that God Who created you would on occasion, enjoy having you actually here His voice, and so you reccertify, the fact that you are a follower of Jesus Christ the son of the living God, the Messiah. 

The one who sacrificed his life on the cross for you, and bled that your sins might be forgiven, so that in that forgiveness, you can glory in the fact that you don't have to be strong in overcoming sin, you just have to turn the sin over to Him and when you do that, He does away with the sin. By a process that we can't experience, because we are not strong enough to go to the cross. And yet, His instruction to Earth is specifically take up your cross and follow Me. And that's the message that we want to try to recertify by,  with all of our disciples. Is follow him daily, take up the cross daily.

Made me remember, that is recount, which in working with learners (disciples), is the time to recertify, which is an old but very true Newspaper writer saying: "Tell them, then tell them what you told them, then tell them once more memorably." Huh? How do you make a three time repeat interesting? Remember your first...? 🤣 In my pretty boring, unexciting, calm life; I've been fired lots of times. Sometimes it was on me, sometimes, it was on them- now, watch this one- it's gonna getcha, sometimes it was on God. Ooh that'll make some folk getonup😆But watch this:  Jhn 9:1  -  And   as   Jesus   passed by,   he saw   a man   which was blind   from   his   birth. Tools Jhn 9:2  -  And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, th...

View on Vocaroo >> Tasty, is a lovely word, sounds near sweet? Tenderloin is one of our favorite meats, as a meal we eat it with Rice-a-Roni or just rice; usually I try to make some gravy to go with the rice, and we have a vegetable. There is almost always some left over meat that I refrigerate in it's juice. A day or two later put that into a pan, as the frozen meat and juice heats up it fills the pan- then I'll add barbeque sauce to that and it boils down to the point the tenderloin falls apart and it's now pulled pork bbq for a marvelous sandwich. Tasty, it really, is. When Holy Spirit drew you from hell, usually by bringing you to your senses, of how messed up you were? When Holy Spirit does that, you are like a cooked meal that's been set aside in the refrigerator- you are preserved, but your function is stopped. Before, you were a meal, now, your just preserved. Holy Spirit gets hold of you, now you may feel some heat, you will be changing- becoming what ...

View on Vocaroo >> There are so many memories to your Christ experience. Remembering is in a very unsalted way, forming your story of what Christ has done. Get who, what, when, where and possibly why or how, together so it makes sense. Now we season... Dana you mix metaphors a bunch, we're writing, your using a cooking analogy? Ah you caught me...throwin Jalapenoes instead of pepper...and I'm in great company, the gospel is loaded with things that are like other things, the Bible has tons of metaphor...oops, that's a pun, huh? A coin, in a fishes mouth? To pay taxes? For both of them? See any metaphor there? Miracle aside, Peter a now fisher of men? Jesus now proving his earthly existence- ooh, here's one for history buffs, did the takers of taxes keep records? (Matt 17:27) What miracle, other than new birth, eating food that turns into energy, bones? Water rather than air? Both have Oxygen one way it's wet, the other we breathe, now can you begin to glimps...
