James at Home

The favour of going to Hell is not sort by many, yet what is the seeking of man to accomplish if not to destroy the enemy. Some people wait for love and never find it. Yet God made us to be active participants of God’s love in Christ Jesus. Let us explore what this means. Hell can creep into our mind and occupy our very thought life and show its symptoms through very cunning deceptive thoughts. They can be as mundane as wait, watch, see, I will take care of you. This even sounds spiritually aware of the surroundings. Yet wait on the Lord, the Bible tells us. Not just wait. So we need to be cautious listening to the lies of God’s enemies. Satan and his angels who fell from glory became a trench of cesspool to the Lord and were discarded from their positions. More so lies can be as big as wait on God’s heart to see if he is good. Rather we are to strictly obey his word and be patient with God and his will be done in our lives. The word of God even says “I will wait and see the goodnes...

Come, Eat and Be Satisfied The Lord waits on my hand to pour out love. I lead my frame north and head toward home Yet as I speak my word fail me so often I speak of the Lord and yet I fail to represent him well Yet he says of me, your grace is enough for you I am your portion and I am your crown I am enough for you son So I call you home son, I call you to run for me Come, eat and be satisfied in me My word is enough and my spirit guides you.

  This is a piece from my journal that I want to share. Hope you enjoy and it encourages and brings light. Peace. "The words I speak are just that words, unless mixed with faith then one can come to life. See our faith means something. There is hope in sharing our faith. This is done by lifting up and adoring one person at a time. Each time we see something new about people. We see their heart and soul. Praying for people then gives us more insight and allows us to serve. This is the process of fishing for people. See giving our lives for our friends is just this, love. And knowing the processes is not helpful if it’s not followed. See we dig to plant seed and then it needs to be acted upon to bear fruit. Just as a seed in soil need watering so do the seed in ones life. This is the cause of encouragement and need not explanation or describing.  By faith one can see the world transformed through grace. This process is the act of God’s love for us. This love can not bring chan...

Now the favour in your life will carry you so far. Where will it carry you? To love. Now love looks like something. Often love takes the form of submission to another and their will. Yet coming to know the one who made you is the first step in coming to favour that flows.  Rivers start with a trickle and end in a stream. The collective of so many droplets of water can cause the stream to bulge, bursting its banks. This bulging can be related to the formation of character in our soul. This soul flooded with love is favour again and again pouring through.  The first part of love is to see we are made in the image of God and then made for His glory. These two cement the first of which is grace upon grace then acting upon this revelation, we all seek the glory of God. So what is the power we seek? Is it just that we are to be known by Him and make Him known by love? Let’s look at this.  It’s profound that love can take us deeper into the foundation of the gospel. Love can fin...

Work in the way of great love and leave a place to remember. I’ve been able to spend time in Rarotonga this week with family and meet some amazing families and people who love this place much. They have traveled from all over the world to see a people who relax into the island life.  As I reflect on many folks we have met while traveling, we have grace enough for us to engage and bless those around us. God has enabled me to see I am a seed in the hand of God. I listen to him speak and say I love you to each of his children. I have been able to say this to a few through our conversations and been able to show love. We are able to share a piece of paradise with the people of the islands as we journey back home on Wednesday it will be a place we want to come back. For who knows how long we will be away. Who knows the time or place. We are resting in the understanding God will guide and we will lead many to him.  With each of our interactions we have been blessed to see Gods hand ...

I was use to walking along the road with no one to guide me in which way I was to go. Now I see the way is a narrow road, not broad, that leads to life (John 7:13-14). I am able to see a piece of grace as a gift from God’s hand, not a limitation that restricts me from seeing his love. So I press forward toward the goal of receiving Christ as my inheritance. This I do, forget what is behind and press forward toward the heavenly calling we have in God’s son Jesus (Philippians 3:14).  For I was once lost in sin, unable to see, deaf from all the drowning noise of chaos and lost in my own pride of life. I thought I was alone because there was no one who could save me. Yet I was only dead due to a decision to forget who I as made to be. I am now in the light, not of life alone, but also of God’s grace. I leave my baggage of tormented soul to enter a new age of transformation. Like a butterfly I used to crawl, now I saw above the wind and lift up above the waves.  In the start o...
