Remember

Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another:

and the LORD hearkened, and heard it,

and a book of remembrance was written before him

for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.

                                                                              Malachi 3.16

Are not these the Holy Scriptures which are before us

as a book of remembrance that we might call to mind

all that the Lord has done is doing and will do for us ?



Do they not help us daily in calling to mind

those things which should be foremost in our thoughts?



Do not those of us who are learning to fear and to love him

speak of these things often one to another and encourage ourselves

together in the things of him as we think upon his name

ie. all that he is to us.


This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you;

in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:

                                                                                   2 Peter 3.1

Does not this book stir up our minds and transform our thought life

as we look upon and meditate on those things laid before us

to put us in remembrance.



And does not the Lord Jesus himself exhort us to remember?

"This do in remembrance..."



And consider how great a book it is

the truth of which has a grandeur that excels the mighty mountains

and a vastness that exceeds the seas in its breadth and it s depth.

Can we in it behold a glory that reaches even to the heavens?

Free at Last

The anointing was on Jesus

to open the prison to the those who are bound


Oh how he did that for me so many years ago

it was the anointing that broke an awful yoke

of fear and  bondage from off of me---

years of oppression depression


I was truly a soul cast down but then I was lifted up

it was the Spirit of the Living God--

the anointing of the saviour sent from God to redeem mankind

even desperate lost souls like me



There came deliveranced from the power of the Oppressor ---the King of Terrors



And the door swung wide open

 I walked out a free man


Many times did that father of lies seek to convince me

that I was still in place

-----his place


But the anointing kept teaching me

and the entrance of his word brought light

and it was true and no lie


And I continued to eat of that Word from on high

and it was ever the joy and rejoicing of my heart



I remember making a collage one day

of pictures that I cut out

and one was of Jesus freely laughing

This was was before my release

and it was like a prophecy when I think back now

a foretelling of good things to come

Oh happy Day!!!
