If you are a Christian living for Jesus but you commit a sin.

It doesn't mean you are a sinner. �

If you get a splinter in your finger i t doesn't mean you become a piece of wood.
It means you have to have the splinter removed.

If you are a Christian and you sin it means you have to get the sin out ... and only Jesus can do that through the power of His forgiveness and grace to make you stand.


Christians living under grace means we are constantly every day going to the Father and asking for His forgiveness when we willfully mess up or accidently mess up (sin). �He removes the splinter - He removes the sin.

Thank you Lord that you are always here with me. �That you hold me in your hands and no matter what is going on You see the bigger picture and you have a bigger objective in mind for my life than what I'm going through at that moment. �Thank you that you are so much smarter than me and able to put everything together better than I can. �Lord you know I googled those 'dreams of 2012' and it was disturbing to me. �I only know you've told me I have blessings coming to me and I am not understanding all these negative dreams people are having about this election and Feb and the months coming up and all those weird sounds recorded and I don't know what any of that means. �It overwhelmed me a little bit Father. �All you ever give to me is how wonderful my life will be. �You never have me focus on anything negative or bad coming up. �Why ar all these people getting these scary dreams? �Like a fire coming to America or a storm coming to America and You haven't told me anything like that Lord. �Either all those dreams are wrong or I am missing something in my prayer time with you. �
I know �you see the end from the beginning and you have ways of connecting all the dots in such a way that blesses us and matures us and deepens our relationship and trust in you . �I know you would NEVER let me down. �I just honestly want the world to stay safe and things to go on as it has. � It makes me feel uncomfortable to know all these scary dreams people are having. �I wish I hadn't seen that but I can't unsee it. There are apparently a lot of similar dreams people are having about prices of things shooting through the roof and it's pretty scary stuff. �I don't want to go through any of that. �I know You told me I have blessings coming to me and restitution. �I'm not turning away from believing you for that Lord... if the world comes down around my ankles I BELIEVE you told me restitution was coming for me and there are blessings for me in my life and WONDERFUL amazing blessings ONLY God could do this kind of blessings!! �You promised me Lord and you've told me this over and over and over and confirmed again and reassured again all year long to me personally ... not through somebody else. � It's just such a contrast between what you have told me and what these other people have dreamed... �They are dreaming gloom and doom and you are promising me a glorious wonderful future full of hope and expectation. It's quite the contrast Lord! � My faith and hope is in you and ALL my trust rests on you.

Isaiah 40:25-31

New King James Version (NKJV)

25�“To whom then will you liken Me,
Or�to whom�shall I be equal?” says the Holy One.
26�Lift up your eyes on high,
And see who has created these�things,
Who brings out their host by number;
He calls them all by name,
By the greatness of His might
And the strength of�His�power;
Not one is missing.

27�Why do you say, O Jacob,
And speak, O Israel:
Lord,
And my just claim is passed over by my God”?
28�Have you not known?
Have you not heard?
Lord,
The Creator of the ends of the earth,
Neither faints nor is weary.
His understanding is unsearchable.
29�He gives power to the weak,
And to�those who have�no might He increases strength.
30�Even the youths shall faint and be weary,
And the young men shall utterly fall,
31�But those who wait on the�Lord
Shall renew�their�strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.
