John 10:7-10 (Amplified Bible)
7"So Jesus said again, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, that I Myself am the Door [a]for the sheep.
8All others who came [as such] before Me are thieves and robbers, but the [true] sheep did not listen to and obey them.
9I am the Door; anyone who enters in through Me will be saved (will live). He will come in and he will go out [freely], and will find pasture.
10The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it [b]overflows)."

Joyfully Live FREE and In FREEDOM Now AND Every day.
People often pursue a life of material security to protect a future that none of us is not promised.
I am convinced that Nothing can bind me to my Lord more than my strong belief in His changeless love.
Greetings to you my friends, what a Joy it is to be awaken to such a Wonderfully Made Day!
As we move closer to the Remembrance and the Celebration of the birth of our Messiah—the process of Change that we are in the midst of, has many people all turned around and confused. They do not have a healthy, positive accepting relationship with themselves nor with Jesus--which gives them a faulty Spiritual foundation.
They don’t have Spiritual security—they have not made valuable deposits with the Father. What they have tried to deposit with Jesus has bounced and been rejected for Insufficient Spiritual Funds!
I asked God to show each of us when we are walking in the ‘works of the flesh’ and when each of us is walking in the Flow of Following the leading of His Holy Spirit! In the name of our Messiah, Amen!
Walking in the works of the flesh will always lead to disappointment and frustrations. Frustration is defined by a deep and chronic sense of insecurity and dissatisfaction arising from unresolved problems or unfulfilled needs.
Examine your motives and your thoughts. Examine your heart to seek the truth that you need to know about yourself. By doing this you are allowing the changes that God has set forth for your life to seamlessly happen and become permanent.
Praising our way through this day by the Power (His unchanging Love) of Jesus that Dwells upon us, is a resting place for our entire being. He is the Good Shepherd and there are no surprises or mysteries that can unfold in our day that He was not already aware of.
God has simple solutions to the complications of mans ways.
He is already in the midst of Every issue, problem, situation that may unfold in your life for this day and every day. He also is in the midst of Every Way made where it appears to be no way. He is already in the midst – waiting on us to recognize through faith that we can’t do anything by our power to help ourselves without Him.
He is already in the midst of Every issue, problem, situation that may unfold in your life for this day and every day. He also is in the midst of Every Way made where it appears to be no way. He is already in the midst – waiting on us to recognize through faith that we can’t do anything by our power to help ourselves without Him.
He has already put the answers, the opportunities and the outcomes in place and all we have to do is go to Him, Ask Him and then Wait for Him to reveal it all to us.
I know, it’s the ‘waiting part’ that gets to most people.
Discipline to be self-controlled allows us to use the courage that we all have to step into the fullness of His Freedom provided from being Saved by Jesus, and To Not believe satans lies and the fears that his lies produce. These lies are what trip up our flesh/emotions and that is when many continue in the bondage of them instead of living with Joy everyday FREE.
For who the Son sets FREE, IS FREE Indeed! Amen.
He wants us to understand, accept and realize that He has Wonderfully made us and all that we need. Wonderfully Made Opportunities that will allow us to honor and glorify Him- Opportunities to serve Him by serving other people. These are just a few of the opportunities that live within His Freedom for us. Thank You Jesus!
The unfolding events of each day may be and Are a surprise to us as we did not create the day. No mystery there. When you are overwhelmed by frustration it is impossible to accomplish anything. Our emotions will gain strength and voice based on the conditions produced by our environment. How we see ourselves will in the middle of these conditions is how we will act and re-act to their affect on our lives. Be these good and favorable conditions or negative and defeating conditions—our emotions will try every time to govern and guide us through the steps. But we have the Freedom to Not allow them to do that.
We must learn to be responsible and learn to use our self-control to Quiet our emotions so they do not lead us into total self-defeating conditions. In order to Quiet your emotions, you have to Quiet your environment. In other words, take yourself out of the noise, the hustle and bustle of your natural day and give yourself some healing time with the Lord. Be Still so that you can receive His Wisdom and direction to get through the roadblocks. Look to the Good Shepherd and know that what is frustrating you, Is No Surprise to Jesus. Amen.
Psalm 100
A Psalm of thanksgiving and for the thank offering.
1MAKE A joyful noise to the Lord, all you lands!"
2Serve the Lord with gladness! Come before His presence with singing!
3Know (perceive, recognize, and understand with approval) that the Lord is God! It is He Who has made us, not we ourselves [and we are His]! We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.(A)
4Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and a thank offering and into His courts with praise! Be thankful and say so to Him, bless and affectionately praise His name!
5For the Lord is good; His mercy and loving-kindness are everlasting, His faithfulness and truth endure to all generations."
Cross references:
(A) Psalm 100:3 : Eph 2:10
This is an opportunity to grow spiritually-a given moment in time when you can deliberately release to Him All that frustrates you and get yourself some REAL HELP! He will lead you away from the poison weeds and grasses- toward the nourishing food and water.
Once you release to Him all that has caused and is causing you to be frustrated and disappointed at most turns, He Will Either use this opportunity to bring you to a place of greater understanding and faith; or you will sit in front of or behind this barricade for as long as it takes to awaken your thinking to realize your inability to make progress apart from His Help.
It’s up to you as He Is ever patient with us.
You can develop the discipline to have and use your self-control to help you Let Him, or you can continue to oppress yourself and not become FREE in all the ways He designed and has provided for us to be. Again, it’s up to you.
It is natural to feel frustration in our lives—but the only Help comes from His Healing that Will move you from allowing the natural to overtake and guide you by emotions. The Fullness of His Freedom.
The Freedom from trying to manipulate each situation for a better outcome—The FREEDOM to release All to Jesus so that His Power Rests upon you and you Dwell in His Tent—The Tent of Love and Truth.
Enjoy Every day—FREE yourself from the bondage of self-defeating thinking and living AND Follow the Spirit into FREEDOM.
You have to step when God tells you to and not when your flesh tells you to. God gives us the Grace to Do everything that He Calls us to do. This is Joy.
Remember, Jesus said, “Follow Me!” , He never said that He was to follow us.
Resting In His Faithfulness,
One Day At A Time By Faith.
Joshua 1:9
