THE EXCHANGE

 

   Jasmine GOH-  Elijah had accidentally ripped a ten-dollar bill while playing with his friends. But instead of admonishing him, his father offered to exchange the torn bill with a fresh one from his wallet. $10 bill

  "Why would you do that?" Elijah asked, confused. "For one, you're my son," his father explained. "It's also a reminder of what Jesus did for us. Because Jesus came and gave His life in exchange for ours, as we can not live new lives."

   Every human life is valuable to God because He created each of us. But our sinful nature—"the body ruled by sin" (Romans 6:6).—keeps us from living a life worthy of God's holiness. So God, in His great love for us, willingly gave up His Son to pay the price of our sin. Our old self was put to death, and in exchange, He offers us a new one—"no longer . . . slaves to sin" (v.6).

   When we accept God's offer of new life, we can be assured that even though our old self was sinful and broken—"corrupted by its deceitful desires: (Eph. 4:22), we are now being perfected "to be like God in true righteousness and holiness' (v. 24)

   Elijah's father was willing to offer him something of his own because he loves him. But the even better offer is the one God extends to us: the redemption of our lives. When we accept His offer of new life, we aren't the same as we were before.

Let's pray-

    Father, You have made it clear that each of us is valuable to You, as you created each of us individually in our mother's womb. Because of the inherent sin nature, we are not worthy of being in Your presence. Thankfully, You gave us Your beloved Son to pay the price of our sin!

   When we become new creatures in Christ Jesus by being born again through the Salvation He provided, we put off our old sinful self and exchange it for a new one to be true to You through Christ's righteousness and holiness. This redemption of our lives, brings new life so we aren't the same as we were before!

   We thank and praise You for all You have done in and through the Lord Jesus! It's in His Mighty name that we pray. Amen

My weekly advice from the book,  Praise the Lord and Pass the Chemo by Elaine W. Miller: (p. 27)

   "No one chooses cancer. Those lousy test results aren't our idea. But we do choose how we respond. What good does sulking do? Let's replace sad thoughts with songs of praise. Ask, allow, and expect God to use this illness for His purpose, to show God's power, so His name will be proclaimed wherever our cancer journey leads us."

#139 Testimony- Notes from A. W. Tozer's book, The Knowledge of the Holy

   "When  God infuses eternal life into the spirit of man, the man becomes a member of a new and higher order of being. What peace it brings to the Christian's heart to realize that our Heavenly Father never differs from Himself.

   In all our efforts to find God, to please Him, to commune with Him, we should remember that all change must be on our part.

  God knew us utterly before we knew Him and called us to Himself in the full knowledge of everything that was against us. Atonement too was accomplished with the same flawless skill that marks all of God's acts.

  God has charged Himself with full responsibility for our eternal happiness and stands ready to take over the management of our lives the moment we turn in faith to Him.

  His all-sufficiency makes it unnecessary for Him to look outside of Himself for a renewal of strength. All the power required to do all that He wills to do lies in undiminished fullness in His own infinite being.

 The knowledge that we are never alone, calms the troubled sea of our lives and speaks peace to our souls."

1841-1565 One-line Scriptures for those of you who want to learn some more verses this week- or to review them from when they were first posted- 
 

1841- Is. 53:12b "He shall divide the spoil with the strong."

1842- Pro. 21:6a "The getting of treasures."

1843- Ps. 142:1 "I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD

           did I make my supplication."

1844- Is. 28:11 "For with stammering lips and another tongue will He speak to this 

          people."

1845- Job 11:13 "If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands towards him."

 Some encouraging words-  Lois Stucky

"Living in Christ and Christ living in me! The blessed reality of this Christ-life is not something we can initiate or imitate. It is a supernatural life made possible as we have the Holy Spirit abiding in us in rich and full measure. He is the One who bears the Heavenly life in us and causes it to flow out from us. It is the Holy Spirit who gives reality to our Christian profession. It is by the Spirit that we mortify the flesh that Christ might be manifested."

Do you wish you had a new house to call home? Give thanks for how God is your True Shelter and thank Him for providing the home you currently have. You can trust the character of God with contentment and pray for growth and change. And when you do, the way you speak of your right-now circumstances begins to change.

 (Great book, Jean highly recommends it!)

Church Notes: 

Only the growing pains of maturity produce stability and humble hearts.

For the sake of the Gospel, we need to stay engaged and unwavering in our standards.

We need to hold tight to God's Word, but extend it in a manner the world can relate to.

Ask God to help you keep your balance in these trendy times.

God intended prayer to be just conversation; talking with Him.

God's not impressed with the words we use; He wants to hear what's on our hearts.

The authority of God's Word must energise our efforts, or we'll be doomed to fail.

What we need is to always keep God's revealed will in our sight, minds and hearts.

God wants us to sharpen our spiritual sight and trust in His revealed will for us.

The opening of our eyes will be the silencing of our fears.

God's Word gives stories to help us persevere, take courage, believe and have hope.

We're to follow the dreams and visions He's given us that fire our passion.

 #139 Hymn- O For a Closer Walk with God

   William Cooper, composer of this hymn, believed that the promises of God were all true, but he’d always thought that they didn’t apply to him. He considered himself to be a castaway. It was said that at his passing, his “expression was that of calmness and composure, mingled as it were with holy surprise.” It was as though he finally realized he was a child of God and was being welcomed home to heaven. For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light (Ephesians 5:8).

Oh! for a closer walk with God,
A calm and heav’nly frame;
A light to shine upon the road
That leads me to the Lamb!

 

Where is the blessedness I knew,
When first I saw the Lord?
Where is the soul-refreshing view
Of Jesus, and his word?

What peaceful hours I once enjoyed!
How sweet their mem’ry still!
But they have left an aching void,
The world can never fill.

Return, O holy dove, return,
Sweet messenger of rest;
I hate the sins that made thee mourn,
And drove thee from my breast:

The dearest idol I have known,
Whate’er that idol be,
Help me to tear it from thy throne,
And worship only thee.

So shall my walk be close with God,
Calm and serene my frame;
So purer light shall mark the road
That leads me to the Lamb.

(I wasn't able to add a picture of the hymn today. Sorry)

SMALL BEGINNINGS

 

  Kristen Holmberg- In 1848, engineer Charles Ellet Jr. puzzled over how to begin the process of constructing the first bridge over the Niagara Falls gorge. How would they get a cable across the river?

   Prompted by a dream, Charles decided to host a kite-flying contest. American teenager Horman Walsh won five dollars when his kite landed on the American side of the river. Homan's kite string was secured to a tree and used to pull a light cord back across the river, then progressively heavier cords until heavy wire cable was in place. This was the small beginning of the construction of the Niagara Falls Suspension bridge.

  The bridge's challenges and inauspicious beginnings mirror those faced by those working to rebuild God's temple after returning from captivity in Babylon. An angel awakened the prophet Zechariah with a message that nothing would thwart God's work— it would all be accomplished "by [His] Spirit" (Zechariah 4:6). 

   Some of those who'd seen the temple in it's previous glory were fearful that the rebuilt version would pale in comparison (Ezra 3:12) The angel encouraged Zechariah that they shouldn't "despise the day of small things" because God would "rejoice' in seeing the work begun (Zechariah 4:10).

   Even though the tasks God has appointed to us may seem insignificant, we can be encouraged knowing He uses small things—like kite strings—to accomplish His great works.

Let's pray- "Dear Father, thank You for being faithful to your plans." Amen!

#138- Testimony- GrJean

   When I desperately needed guidance as to refurbishing my new bank login page after accidently deleting it, I asked the Lord for help!  While I was resting, the thought that came was the answer! I was to scroll down the list of past bookmarks, and as I did, the bank title was there several days ago. I checked it, and up came the login that I was looking for! I now have the bookmark on the first bookmark space, so I won't accidentally delete it again, I hope!

1840- Ecc. 8:6a "To every purpose there is a time and judgment."

My weekly advice from the book,  Praise the Lord and Pass the Chemo by Elaine W. Miller: (pg 5)

"As we walk together this road called cancer, our souls will find solace and hope in music. I  encourage singing or reading the precious promises found in the hymns. Singing brightens our spirits and keeps our eyes focused on joy rather than sorrow. When the days are low, lift up a song. Sing out and breathe in the precious truths and powerful promises of the old hymns."

 #138 Hymn-   God Will Take Care Of You 

  

   One Sunday in 1904, Civilla Martin was in Lestershire, New York, where her husband, Walter, was compiling a collection of hymns for the Practical Bible Training School. They were planning to travel to another town that day, for Walter had a preaching assignment.

   Civilla woke up sick, and Walter was about to cancel his plans, when their young child piped up and said; "Oh, Daddy, you don't have to stay home because of mother—

God will take care of us."

   Walter proceeded to the train station and fulfilled his appointment. When he returned, Civilla handed him the words of "God Will Take Care of You," which she had written in his absence. Going to his little organ, Walter composed the music, and it was first published in the songbook was compiling for the school.

 Some encouraging words- By Andrew Murray

   "As we learn what it means that Christ is our life, we shall count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus our Lord. In the path of following Him, and ever learning to know and to love Him better, we shall willingly sacrifice all, self with its life, to make room for Him who is more than all."

 

Church Notes:   SIMPLE PRAYER IS THE BEST PRAYER

• We're to acquire a sensitivity to the things of God and to develop a sense of listening to the Voice of the Spirit.
• We must be living lives pleasing to God.
• We're joined with God through Jesus, and we can also call Him, "Father."
• The reality of heaven needed to come to earth.
• Sit silently, reflecting on the God of heaven, the Father who dwells in unapproachable Light.
• Praise is sacrifice. It is something we do to please God. It must cost us something to do it; time, effort, money.
• Praise can be learned by sitting still and sensing His Presence.  There can be no power without God.

"Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, [church] that there may be [spiritual] food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it." Malachi 3:10 

(Many have proven this to be true, including me, Jean Oathout)

BE CAREFUL!

 

 Alyson Kieda- After years of struggle and crying out in prayer, Frank quit drinking. He attributes his continued sobriety to God's work in his life. But he also made some important changes, He no longer kept alcohol in the house, watched for warning signs in his thinking and moods, and was wary of certain situations. He leaned on God and knew not to leave an opening for temptation or sin. Struggling in prayer

  "Be alert and of sober mind," the apostle Peter warned. "Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour" (1 Peter 5:8).

   Peter knew we needed to be watchful because the devil's attacks are often unexpected — when it seems like our life couldn't be better, or we think we'd never be tempted in a certain area.

   James too warned his readers to submit to God and "resist the devil." When we do, our enemy "will flee" (James 4:7). The best way to resist him is to stay close to God through prayer and time in Scripture. When we do, God comes near to us (v.8) through His Spirit (Romans 5:5).

   James also offered this encouragement: "Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will lift you up: (James 4:10). We all face challenging moments in life when we're tempted and struggle. We can rest knowing that God wants us to succeed and overcome. He is with us in our troubles.

Let's pray-

   In the name of The One Who Was, Who Is, and Who is To Come. Who is above all and before anything that was. All things are from Him, through Him, for Him, and in Him, are held together. He is Eternal. Manifest in the flesh, but with no sin, justified in the Spirit, witnessed to by angels, believed on in the world, He is the Most High, the Sovereign, the Powerful, and Supreme over all.
   He alone is worthy of adoration. He was slain to receive power. Now resurrected, all riches, wisdom, strength, and honor belong to Him. He is full of mercy, grace, and truth. He is the Eternal Judge, and He alone has the power to forgive sins. Blessed be His Holy Name.
   His name is Jesus, and He is God. We pray in His name. Amen.


My weekly advice from the book,  Praise the Lord and Pass the Chemo by Elaine W. Miller: (p. 23)

   "The beauty of cancer research is that every day brings a new discovery. Shortly after my 'low-survivability' diagnosis, a new drug was approved for treatment of my 'high-risk' leukemia. One pill daily (and God) stopped the progression of my cancer, giving me hope for many years of joyful living. Reality: "One day our bodies will stop breathing and we will meet the Lord. Are you ready? I hope so. If you're unsure, pray."

 #137 Testimony-  about a friend's husband

   "During the Vietnam war, my husband served as a helicopter medevac corpsman. Once, when his helicopter was shot down, he survived injuries that could have been fatal. Another time, he happened to stand up in flight to prepare for landing and  boarding wounded Marines. At that moment, a bullet shop up through the seat he had just left. By an instant, he escaped death. Our days are in God's hands. death could come to us momentarily or years from now. The date and time is God's call, not ours."

1831-1835 One-line Scriptures for those of you who want to learn some more verses this week- or to review them from when they were first posted- 
 

1831- Ez. 16:44a "Behold everyone that uses proverbs shall use this proverb. . .

          As is the mother, so is her daughter."

1832- Is. 29:9a "Stay (stop) yourselves and wonder."

1833- 1 Chron. 16:14 "He is the LORD our God; His judgments are in all the earth."

1834- Jer. 22:16 "He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well

1835- Matt. 22:16b "Master, we know that Thou art true, and teachest the way of 

          God in truth."

 

 #137 Hymn-  I'd Rather Have Jesus

 

   George Beverly Shea, "America's beloved gospel singer," has traveled with the Billy Graham evangelistic team since 1946. He was born in 1909 in Winchester, Ontario. Bev's mother , the church organist, had a piano that came from England; and, seated in front of its keys, she became a sort of "human alarm clock" for the family.

   When Bev was 21, he began working for the Mutual Insurance Company of New York, assisting medical examiners in obtaining information relating to the applicant's health history. Among those who came into the office was Fred Allen, host of a cost-to-cost radio talent show. 

   Learning that Bev liked to sing, Mr. Allen arranged an audition, and a few weeks later Bev found himself singing "Go Down Moses' to a nationwide audience on the National Broadcasting Company. Though he lost the contest to a yodeler, he received fifteen dollars and a taste of widespread fame.

   One Sunday shortly afterward, Bev sat down at his mother's organ to practice for the morning church service. His eyes fell on a clipping she had left for him there, a poem written in 1922 by Mrs. Rhea F. Miller. As Bev read the words, they spoke to him about his own aims and ambitions in life. An appropriate melody came easily, practically composing itself.

   When Bev's mother came in from the kitchen, he played and sang it for her. Wrapping both arms around him, she placed a wet cheek against his. In church that morning, Bev sang "I'd Rather Have Jesus" publicly for the first time. It later became a sort of "signature song" expressing his own decisions in life.

   "I'd rather have Jesus than men's applause, / I'd rather be faithful to His dear cause;

  I'd rather have Jesus than worldwide fame, / I'd rather be true to His holy name . . ."

 Some encouraging words-

   "When we're full of ourselves and wise in our own eyes, it's impossible for God to empower and use us. But when we're weak and empty, God can do great things through us as we simply take the place of a bondservant." Andrew Murray

Church Notes:    ZEAL IN GIVING

Wealth draws us from childhood.

2 Cor. 8:1-7 The Macedonian church was a good example for us.

They gave according to and beyond their own needs.

The Corinthian church was to do the same, to give, even though they were in need.

Abundant joy comes from providing for others' need. 

We're to give weekly as God reveals individually.

We're to be earnest in sharing our gifts, a zeal to give.

We're to look at the need and provide as we are able.

As Children of God, we're to have our eyes on Jesus, giving ourselves to Him.

Our act of grace in giving to others' needs as we see it, is given in faith.

We're to get back to tithing - giving the first portion to the Lord's work.

We're to consider what we care about, what we could do without in order to give to 

    our churches' needs.

We're to lay up everlasting treasures, not just earthy ones. 

Seek first the Kingdom and all other things will be added.

We're not to worry about anything.

The world tries to tell us we need more! We're to be content in Christ.

We're to have a zeal to give to the Lord's work!

GOD DID IT!

 

   Pastor Cymbala told of the Pakistani Christians under siege and how the Holy Spirit had made a way for us to help them. But the story didn't end there. 

   On Saturday night of the same week, Steve, our CFO, called me. He had just been talking to the minister from Pakistan, and news was grim. The pastor told Steve that something had set off the Muslims again during their evening call to prayer. "He said they're shouting, 'Death to the Christians! Death to the Christians!' He's afraid of what might be coming." Steve and I agreed that we would both pray that night and that the next day we would ask the church to pray as well. (Pakistani Christians)

   The next morning, I, Pastor Cymbala, went to The Brooklyn Tabernacle, (his church), and prepared for our Sunday nine o'clock service. My associate pastors and I were in my office, along with some of our prayer band members — seven or eight church members who pray with us before the services and then stay together and pray for us during each service.

  We finished praying. I was on my way to the elevator when one of  the volunteers who was answering our phones that day called out to me. . .

   "Pastor Cymbala, there's a phone call for you."

  "I can't take it now; the service is about to begin."

  "Pastor, the call is from Pakistan."

   I made a U-turn. The call came through to my phone. I answered. It was the Pakistani minister. There was terror in his voice.

   I asked, "What's going on?"

"We are trapped on the roof on a house. I'm up here with other believers from our church. There is a mob in the square carrying torches. They are working themselves into a frenzy. They are screaming, 'Death to the Christians! Death to the Christians!"

   "Okay," I said. "Be strong, brother. I'm going into our Sunday service now. And we're going to pray."

   I hung up the phone and went downstairs as fast as I could. The service had begun, and the congregation was singing. I walked directly to the pulpit and interrupted the meeting. For the benefit of those who had not been at the prayer meeting, I told them what had happened on Tuesday. I then told the congregation what was happening in Pakistan at that very moment.

   "We need to pray right now!" I said.

   The Holy Spirit helped us, and we prayed fervently, our hearts united in prayer for our Pakistani brothers and sisters in Christ. We continued praying for several minutes. Then a sense of peace settled over everyone. We felt confident that God had heard our prayer.

   On Monday, Steve called and told me that he had talked to the Pakistani pastor again. And I thought, "Thank God he's alive!"

    "Is he okay?" I asked. 

   "He's fine, But you're not going to believe what happened."

   Steve then related the story.

   "The Pakistani church members had been stranded on the roof, clinging to one another. Shortly after the pastor called me, dark clouds formed in the sky. It got dark, almost as dark as it gets after the sun goes down. Then it began to rain torrentially. It rained so hard that the crowd scattered and ran to their homes. And that was that. The tension was broken, and the Christians were able to get down from the roof and return to their homes."

   Even now, when I look back on it, the whole story amazes me. It was something that only the Lord through His Holy Spirit could have done!

(This was taken from  FAN THE FLAME by JIM CYMBALA) (pp. 93-95)

Let's pray-

   Father, we are awed with what You did for our Pakistanian friends! What a perfect way to put out the torches and their animosity against the Christians there on the roof of the building! No one but You could have come up with such a solution to save them! Thank You for sending the rain! We know that it encouraged those Christians to see how fast You solved their real problem that night in answer to prayers by far away friends! In the mighty name of Jesus, we give You praise! Amen.

   

My weekly advice from the book,  Praise the Lord and Pass the Chemo by Elaine W. Miller: (p.15)

   "We can't fight cancer, but we can walk victoriously through this day. Our joy is not because of our circumstances, but because we have an eternal relationship with our Savior, Jesus Christ. Since our joy comes from the Holy Spirit and not by human effort, we can be like the Proverbs 31 woman who "laughs at days ahead.' We have joy and giggles, rest and stillness because God is fighting for us, and He never loses. Tie a 'joy ribbon' around your heart today and laugh!"

#106 Testimony- A friend's friend

   She was having a major surgery and they had to remove a large tumor. They had prayed that it would not be cancerous, and it wasn't! She is home recovering. The same thing happened with another friend who had a mass on her ovary. They prayed and it was not cancerous either!

MY STORY: GrammaJean

   When in Vermont years ago, living in a small trailer out in the open field we were buying, a wind storm suddenly came up. The trailer started to rock, so I called out on the name of Jesus! The strong wind immediately stopped!

   Another time, when we'd built a roof on the side of that trailer, covering our storage area and entrance, the wind again began to blow things around. I called out on the name of Jesus, and the wind stopped! 

   Another time, while driving home from a church meeting in Moira, here in NY, the snow was coming down so heavily, that I couldn't see the road to drive safely, so I prayed quietly to Jesus for help! (I had three ladies with me and I needed to get them safely to Potsdam!) The snow immediately became a flurry, and when a car sped past us, I followed it all the way into Potsdam! Truly, God hears and answers prayer!

(If you have a story of God's help, let me know of it, so I can share it too! Thanks. (With or without your first name.)


1826-1830 One-line Scriptures for those of you who want to learn some more verses this week- or to review them from when they were first posted- 
 

1826- Ez. 20:44a "And you will know that I am the LORD, when I deal with you 

          for my name's sake."

1827- Is. 55:4 "Behold, I have given him . . . a leader and commander to the people."

1828- Jer. 4:2a "The LORD, liveth in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness."

1829- Lam. 3:39a "Wherefore doth a living man complain?"

1830- Ps. 119:90a "Thy faithfulness is unto all generations."

 #106 Hymn-  O God Our Help in Ages Past

 

   Another hymn in Isaac Watts' 1719 Psalms of David is based on Psalm 90,

and is perhaps Watts' most bracing hymn. It was planed on the radio by the BBC as soon as Word War II was declared, and was later sung at the funeral service of Winston Churchill. Some of the original verses have fallen into disuse, but as you read them, think of the ailing hymnist, sitting at the desk in his room on the Abne estate, pouring over Psalm 90 and penning these words:

   "Our God, our help in ages past, 

     Our hope for years to come,

     Our shelter from the stormy blast,

     And our eternal home."

 Some encouraging words-

    "I'm not sinless but saved, not perfect but forgiven, not rejected but chosen, and not unloved but cherished. This identity in Christ comes through grace. Amazing grace!"

 

Church Notes:    GOD REMEMBERED!

1) He is the Star of Exodus. He remembered His covenant w/ Abraham, Isaac & Jacob.

    He promised that all families would be blessed through them.

    He promised to stay with them.

    Satan wants us to forget God's covenant, and bring hard times.

    We're strengthened through trusting God in the hard times!

    Weakness tends to develop during good times.

    We forget. God remembers and hears our cries.

2) We're not to forget that Jesus saves us and He's our Deliverer!

3) God won't let His children forget, but will remind them of His Goodness.

4) We must be born again of God's Spirit.

    We're to be prepared to help others know Him.

    Satan offers bribes to forget. But we will remember, as God will help us!
