=========================== TODAY'S ARTICLE ==========================


Faith Awaiting a Dawn, by Phil Ware


Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary
Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed
from the entrance. So she came running to Simon Peter and the other
disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, "They have taken the Lord
out of the tomb, and we don't know where they have put him!"

So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb. Both were
running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb
first. He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying
there but did not go in. Then Simon Peter came along behind him and
went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying
there, as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus'
head. The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the
linen. Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first,
also went inside. He saw and believed

(John 20:1-8 TNIV).

I am so glad God put a Sunday in each week, because the first day of
the week is that routine reminder that we especially notice today:
Jesus rose from the dead on the first Sunday after Passover ... and
nothing has been the same since!

This simple recounting of part of the resurrection story is precious
for me because it talks about the events of that first Sunday that
forever changed all Sundays that have followed. Two simple things stand
out for me in these few verses. I hope they bless you this Resurrection
Sunday.

Dawn burst through the power of darkness on that Sunday morning!

First, Jesus is dead and buried. In every way common to mortals, hope
is lost ... the future is destroyed ... and the past three years of
relationship with someone Mary has called "Jesus" is wasted. Yet Mary,
in a tenacious love filled with unconscious anticipation, refers to
Jesus as "Lord." She clearly does not know that he is raised from the
dead -- she thinks someone has stolen his body. "Lord!" Her name will
be Jesus' identity because of what has happened. Mary had faith that
was just awaiting a dawn. That dawn burst through the power of darkness
on that Sunday morning!

Second, the mysterious "disciple whom Jesus loved" races to the tomb to
see if the Lord's body is stolen. While he outran Peter to the tomb,
his thoughtfulness gave him pause while Peter rushed inside. As the
beloved disciple saw the abandoned death shroud that once held Jesus'
lifeless body, he slowly entered the now unneeded tomb, saw the truth,
and believed. He had faith that was just awaiting a dawn. That dawn
burst upon him as he saw the remnants of death's grip left behind by
the risen Lord.

May God bless you this day so that your faith may see God's dawn!

The gospel of God ... regarding his Son, who as to his earthly life
was a descendant of David, and who through the Spirit of holiness
was appointed the Son of God in power by his resurrection from the
dead: Jesus Christ our Lord (Romans 1:1-4).

Morning & Evening -- Luke 22:44 and Luke 19:40

-/\/\-----------------------------------------------------------------
\ / Charles Spurgeon's MORNING & EVENING

http://www.heartlight.org/
--\/------------------------------------------------------------------

Sunday, March 23, 2008

MORNING:

"His sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to
the ground."
-- Luke 22:44

The mental pressure arising from our Lord's struggle with temptation,
so forced his frame to an unnatural excitement, that his pores sent
forth great drops of blood which fell down to the ground. This proves
how tremendous must have been the weight of sin when it was able to
crush the Saviour so that he distilled great drops of blood! This
demonstrates the mighty power of his love. It is a very pretty
observation of old Isaac Ambrose that the gum which exudes from the
tree without cutting is always the best. This precious camphire-tree
yielded most sweet spices when it was wounded under the knotty whips,
and when it was pierced by the nails on the cross; but see, it giveth
forth its best spice when there is no whip, no nail, no wound. This
sets forth the voluntariness of Christ's sufferings, since without a
lance the blood flowed freely. No need to put on the leech, or apply
the knife; it flows spontaneously. No need for the rulers to cry,
"Spring up, O well;" of itself it flows in crimson torrents. If men
suffer great pain of mind apparently the blood rushes to the heart. The
cheeks are pale; a fainting fit comes on; the blood has gone inward as
if to nourish the inner man while passing through its trial. But see
our Saviour in his agony; he is so utterly oblivious of self, that
instead of his agony driving his blood to the heart to nourish himself,
it drives it outward to bedew the earth. The agony of Christ, inasmuch
as it pours him out upon the ground, pictures the fulness of the
offering which he made for men.

Do we not perceive how intense must have been the wrestling through
which he passed, and will we not hear its voice to us? "Ye have not yet
resisted unto blood, striving against sin." Behold the great Apostle
and High Priest of our profession, and sweat even to blood rather than
yield to the great tempter of your souls.

EVENING:

"I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones
would immediately cry out."
-- Luke 19:40

But could the stones cry out? Assuredly they could if he who opens the
mouth of the dumb should bid them lift up their voice. Certainly if
they were to speak, they would have much to testify in praise of him
who created them by the word of his power; they could extol the wisdom
and power of their Maker who called them into being. Shall not we speak
well of him who made us anew, and out of stones raised up children unto
Abraham? The old rocks could tell of chaos and order, and the handiwork
of God in successive stages of creation's drama; and cannot we talk of
God's decrees, of God's great work in ancient times, in all that he did
for his church in the days of old? If the stones were to speak, they
could tell of their breaker, how he took them from the quarry, and made
them fit for the temple, and cannot we tell of our glorious Breaker,
who broke our hearts with the hammer of his word, that he might build
us into his temple? If the stones should cry out they would magnify
their builder, who polished them and fashioned them after the
similitude of a palace; and shall not we talk of our Architect and
Builder, who has put us in our place in the temple of the living God?
If the stones could cry out, they might have a long, long story to tell
by way of memorial, for many a time hath a great stone been rolled as a
memorial before the Lord; and we too can testify of Ebenezers, stones
of help, pillars of remembrance. The broken stones of the law cry out
against us, but Christ himself, who has rolled away the stone from the
door of the sepulchre, speaks for us. Stones might well cry out, but we
will not let them: we will hush their noise with ours; we will break
forth into sacred song, and bless the majesty of the Most High, all our
days glorifying him who is called by Jacob the Shepherd and Stone of
Israel.

My Utmost For His Highest : "Am I Carnally Minded?"

-/\/\-----------------------------------------------------------------
\ / MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST --

http://www.heartlight.org/
--\/------------------------------------------------------------------

March 23, 2008


AM I CARNALLY MINDED?

Whereas there is among you jealousy and strife, are ye
not carnal?

1&nbsp;Corinthians 3:3

http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=1co+3:3&sr=1

No natural man knows anything about carnality. The flesh lusting
against the Spirit that came in at regeneration, and the Spirit
lusting against the flesh, produces carnality. "Walk in the Spirit,"
says Paul, "and ye shall not fulfil the lusts of the flesh"; and
carnality will disappear.

Are you contentious, easily troubled about trifles? "Oh, but no one
who is a Christian ever is!" Paul says they are, he connects these
things with carnality. Is there a truth in the Bible that instantly
awakens petulance in you? That is a proof that you are yet carnal. If
sanctification is being worked out, there is no trace of that spirit
left.

If the Spirit of God detects anything in you that is wrong, He does
not ask you to put it right; He asks you to accept the light, and He
will put it right. A child of the light confesses instantly and
stands bared before God; a child of the darkness says - "Oh, I can
explain that away." When once the light breaks and the conviction of
wrong comes, be a child of the light, and confess, and God will deal
with what is wrong; if you vindicate yourself, you prove yourself to
be a child of the darkness.

What is the proof that carnality has gone? Never deceive yourself;
when carnality is gone it is the most real thing imaginable. God will
see that you have any number of opportunities to prove to yourself
the marvel of His grace. The practical test is the only proof. "Why,"
you say, "if this had happened before, there would have been the
spirit of resentment!" You will never cease to be the most amazed
person on earth at what God has done for you on the inside.

ESCAPING DOOM

1 Corinthians 3:14-15

http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=1+Corinthians+3:14-15

Dear Father, designer of destiny,

Even if I am not the best quality, you can save me myself - but I
don't want to escape doom by a hairsbreadth. I want to fulfill all
the potential you have placed within me and do all the good you
have planned for me to do.

Help me, Father, through the example of the Lord Jesus to be
everything that you want me to be, to do everything you want me do,
and to live my life at the peak of quality. Make all of us into
what you want us to be, for such is our blessedness.

Let me be a blessing to other people, that they may see your Son
living in me and may give glory to you.

In the blessed name of Jesus I ask. Amen.

WJD! -- Power Over Satan -- Mark 5:13

-/\/\-----------------------------------------------------------------
\ / WHAT JESUS DID! --

http://www.heartlight.org/
--\/------------------------------------------------------------------


Sunday, March 23, 2008

Power Over Satan


So Jesus allowed them to do this. The evil spirits left the
man and went into the pigs. Then the herd of pigs ran down
the hill and into the lake. All the pigs were drowned. There
were about 2,000 pigs in that herd.

-- Mark 5:13 (ERV)


KEY THOUGHT:
They begged Jesus (see previous verses) so Jesus gave them permission.
He had, and still has, power over the demonic world. In fact, his death
and resurrection has made clear that power over Satan and his legions.
This is important because we clearly see the result of demonic control
in the fate of the pigs: death and destruction. From the very beginning
of the story of Scripture, when Satan and his demons are allowed
control, they bring death and destruction. Let's never forget that our
ultimate enemy, the Devil, seeks to work death and destruction in our
lives! Let's resist, oppose, fight, stand up against, and defeat his
work with the help of God's Spirit at work in our lives.


TODAY'S PRAYER:
O LORD God Almighty, I confess that you alone are Sovereign and
all-powerful. Please give me a renewed sense of presence in my life,
especially as I resist the temptations and the attacks of the evil one.
I know that through my resistance and opposition to his work in my life
and through your power at work within me, I can triumph over him. In
Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Today's Verse : Romans 3:23-24

-/\/\-----------------------------------------------------------------
\ / TODAY'S VERSE from HEARTLIGHT --

http://www.heartlight.org/
--\/------------------------------------------------------------------


March 23, 2008


VERSE:
... for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and
are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came
by Christ Jesus.
-- Romans 3:23-24

http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Romans+3:23-24

THOUGHT:
No matter how hard we try, how good we are, and how much we
work, we can never measure up to the only standard that matters --
the glory of Almighty God. Thankfully, God doesn't require us to
pretend to be what we are not -- perfect, spotless, and holy.
Instead, God makes us to be these (cf. Colossians 1:21-23) by
grace, through the gift of his Son who purchased our pardon and
gave us his righteousness (2 Corinthians 5:21). Praise God. Praise
our Savior, Christ Jesus. Now let's live with Jesus as our Lord;
not to earn or secure our salvation, but to thank him for what he

PRAYER:
Most precious and holy Father, all I can say to your marvelous
grace is thank you! Please know that while these words are woefully
inadequate, they are genuine. Dear Father, I look forward to
showing you through the rest of my life how much I appreciate all
that you have done for me. In Jesus' glorious name, I pray. Amen.

Today's KJV Verse : Romans 3:23-24

-/\/\-----------------------------------------------------------------
\ / TODAY'S VERSE from HEARTLIGHT --

http://www.heartlight.org/
--\/------------------------------------------------------------------


March 23, 2008

VERSE:
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being
justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in
Christ Jesus:
-- Romans 3:23-24

http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Romans+3:23-24&translation=kjv

THOUGHT:
No matter how hard we try, how good we are, and how much we
work, we can never measure up to the only standard that matters --
the glory of Almighty God. Thankfully, God doesn't require us to
pretend to be what we are not -- perfect, spotless, and holy.
Instead, God makes us to be these (cf. Colossians 1:21-23) by
grace, through the gift of his Son who purchased our pardon and
gave us his righteousness (2 Corinthians 5:21). Praise God. Praise
our Savior, Christ Jesus. Now let's live with Jesus as our Lord;
not to earn or secure our salvation, but to thank him for what he
has so freely given us!

PRAYER:
Most precious and holy Father, all I can say to your marvelous
grace is thank you! Please know that while these words are woefully
inadequate, they are genuine. Dear Father, I look forward to
showing you through the rest of my life how much I appreciate all
that you have done for me. In Jesus' glorious name, I pray. Amen.
