If you could help us raise the attorney fee for Ryan Martin’s defense, please give me a call or send a text. He is guilty of breaking a T.P.O. while on a psychotic drug. He has been away from his wife and family for 13 months. The D.A. has decided to press charges that could keep him from his family for possibly 15 years. Ryan loves his wife and family very much. He is willing to follow all requirements handed down by the court if he can be released on probation with his family. He is truly repentant and only wants his family restored. We are trying to get him a Criminal Attorney that can help get him released on probation. We have enlisted the services of Attorney Robbie Ballard to help Ryan, Mandy, Little Ryan & Leah. If you will pray about helping, you can make a difference in this young couple’s life. Thank you.
Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart
2 Timothy 1:3-5, “I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day; Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy; When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.”
Paul illustrates in these verses that the Lord’s voice speaking to him is in and through his thoughts.
It is in the normal avenues and channels of his being.
The Lord’s speaking to Paul came in the form of his remembrance.
The remembrance of Timothy was a call to pray for Timothy.
This example out of Paul’s life corresponds to God’s new covenant way of imparting His laws into our mind and inscribing them upon our heart (Heb. 8:10).
When we understand this new covenant way of God’s speaking, we must confess that we all have heard more of His voice in our daily life than we realized.
For example, God’s speaking has come to us many times in the form of desires within us.
We may have a desire to go to the church service.
That very desire within us is God’s speaking in the form of an inclination inscribed on our heart.
Also, the Lord’s voice often comes in the way of His bringing something to mind.
For example, in Matthew 5:23 the Lord says, “Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you . . .”
In other words, while you are fellowshipping with the Lord, something comes to mind.
You remember your brother.
When it comes to mind, that is the Lord speaking to you.
Thus, we can see how simple and intimate is the Lord’s voice to us and in us under the new covenant.
His speaking is imparted into our mind.
Until Tomorrow
With A Shepherd’s Love,
Pastor Jackson
