Where I Am Going, You Cannot Come…

John 13

Where I Am Going, You Cannot Come...“Whoever accepts anyone I send, accepts me. Whoever accepts me, accepts the one who sent me.” John 13:20

“Where I am going, you cannot come. Where I am going, you cannot follow, now. You will follow later.” John 13:33 & 36

“You know the Father. You have seen him. You know me. You know my Father.” John 14: 6-7

“You may ask me for anything in my name and I will do it.” John 14:14

Lord, please release my two books from bondage. We have paid to have them redeemed from Harper Collins, and yet, Harper Collins continues to hold two of the three Caden Chronicles books hostage. I beg you, please move within the hearts of Merideth Bliss, Chelsea Taff, Christine Blais, and Rick Desmond. Help them to review past royalty statements to see that there have not been any returns of Skull Creek Stakeout since the second quarter of 2017 – that I purchased all remaining inventory in January 2018 and they returned rights to me (finally) in October of 2018. Help them to see that any inventory did not come from returns but from another source.

 

Pay attention when God puts you into darkness. Keep your mouth closed while you are there. Oswald Chambers.

Lord, help me to keep my trap shut during this time of darkness.

If you open your mouth in the dark, you will speak while in the wrong mood. Oswald Chambers

Lord I confess I have spouted off when I should have dove to the depths and kept quiet.

When you are in the dark, listen. God will give you a precious message for someone else once you are back in the light. Oswald Chambers.

The Devil Was a Murderer…

John 8

The Devil Was a Murderer...“The devil was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth. There is NO truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” John 8:44

Lord, please change the hearts of those who will attend the Asheville Christian Writers Conference. May you subdue the spirit of pride that resides in each of us and place your Spirit of peace and humility within us. May your thoughts be our thoughts and your love exhibited in our actions. 

 

Why are we so terrified for God to speak to us? It is because we know that when God speaks we must either do what He asks or tell Him we will not obey. Oswald Chambers
