“I am an historian, I am not a Believer, but I must confess as a historian that this penniless Preacher from Nazareth is irrevocably the very center of history. Jesus Christ is easily the most dominant figure in all history.” Historian AND Famous Sci-fi Writer, H. G. Wells (italics and bold added by me).

The Grief of Unbelief.
NO MORE ‘grief by unbelief’ prayers but, instead, ‘intercession confessions’ in faith…and praises to our All-powerful/knowing LORD God, Jesus Christ! “For we walk by faith, not by sight.” And “the just shall LIVE by faith” and, “without faith, it is IMPOSSIBLE to please God.”
FULL of Life
Not “living IT up” but “Living-UP” in THE Lord God Jesus…
Right Makes Might (not vice-versa)!
“Being able to speak to a mountain and have it move means that you are in right standing with God.” Prayers that Release Heaven & Move Mountains, Book 2, pg. 52, by John Eckhardt
“Is There Not a CAUSE?”
OPERATION FIRM FOUNDATONS
I Samuel 2:8b,9a (MSG)
“For the very structures of earth are God’s;
he has laid out his operations on a firm foundation.
He protectively cares for his faithful friends, step by step…”

Isaiah 28:16; 42:11b; 51:3; 58:12; 60:18

What’s important to God is beautiful to me. In other words, when I follow Jesus with all my heart, I am fulfilled (because I’m not ‘only’ pleasing God but I’m also doing what I was created and called to do!). Rhema rooted in the belief that God is Good…and looking out, ultimately, for ‘only’ my good; i.e., ‘Father (Abba) knows best’!
II Samuel 22:17-25 (MSG)
I Samuel 15:29 (KJV & MSG)
Yes, God hates sin because it separates us from Him. But also because it fosters condemnation AND causes us to become doubtful and (even) more selfish.
