Have you been scared…
or have you felt broken?
From someone’s actions…
or angry words spoken?
Have you lived in fear…
that an abuse will repeat?
Have you responded in tears…
with feelings of defeat?
Have you struggled to continue…
when hidden triggers still come.
When you think you’re better…
with all triggers overcome.
But these triggers just reveal…
that more wounds still exist.
From abuses in our past…
and the peace that we’ve missed.
But God will bring comfort…
and peace in our storm.
And as we learn to seek Him…
His Peace will become norm.
So when you can’t continue…
and don’t know what to do.
Just call out Jesus’ Name…
and let Him bring Peace to you.

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7
Dear Lord, we know that this fear did not come from You. Deliver us from the evil that comes against us. Set us free from the bondage of our past. We pray for healing and restoration to all victims of abuse that we will fear no more. That every little area of “triggering” will be an area healed by a touch from Your Hand… in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.
Deuteronomy 6:6-7 And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.
“It’s your life to live”, they said to the young man.
The Christian experience is something that happens to your soul and character
The Christian experience is something that happens to your soul and character when you find the person of Jesus. Forgiveness is found in the soul; and forgiveness is realized in your conscience within the Christian experience. Guilt from all your past sins is taken away from your conscience by the Grace of God. Christianity is not religion, nor is it a simple religious practice. It is an actual experience produced in the heart of man by the Grace of God. The basis of this experience comes from your belief and trust in what Jesus did for you personally on the cross at Calvary. The Christian experience comes to any man or woman “when” they believe in the person of Jesus.
Take the human intellect out of the equation. Take the reasoning of man and human ideals out of the equation. Leave out your abilities and talents. No more religious works and practices. Why? These faculties have nothing to do with the Christian experience. The Christian experience comes when you exercise your belief in what Christ did for you personally and what He’s doing right now.
How do you get into this blessed experience? The Spirit of God “baptizes” you into Christ. Simply put. God takes you out of an unbelieving world and puts you into a body of believers. This body I speak of is called the Church, or the Spiritual body of Christ. This baptism is very much like how God delivered the children of Israel through the Red Sea. God delivered them from Pharoah’s bondage. God deliver’s you from the bondage of sin.
The Bible says if any man be in Christ he is a new creature, old things pass away, and behold all things become new. This newness of life “comes”… within the Christian experience. Not by what you do or because of your talents or ability. God makes you a new man or a new woman by His Divine Grace. You will know you are changed. You will know you are forgiven. You will find peace within because God will give it to you. This peace is not earned, advanced toward, achieved, or found by your own efforts, it is given to you by the Mercy and Grace of a living God who is alive and exalted right now in the Throneroom.
Christianity is not something that happened 2000 years ago only. Christianity is a present tense “now” experience because Christ is alive and doing something to people like you and I. Christians are different because they are born of God as a result of their faith and trust in a Saviour. That saviour is Jesus and we are His workmanship. He changed us! He made us new! He saved our soul from Hell! He provides us with Heaven…eternity with Him. Prove what is acceptable, it is your service to Him. Live right! Do right! Act right! Your a child of God! He birthed you in the Spirit! Prove it! Bless His holy name. Love those who hate you! Forgive like He forgave you! Let your light shine! Let the world know Christian’s are different. Why? Because of your experience in Christ! Glory! You are the proof. You are the evidence!
FRIENDSHIP FOREST preview – Chapter 2

He Knows Us (Continuation from Chapter 1)
The familiar wind started to move over the mountain top. Another song, different from the others, could be heard. The same sweet voices blended together with loving sounds, comforting sounds. Nathaniel felt a rush of encouragement came upon him. They were tasting but tiny portions of the greatest power and strengths. and strength that was for them and not against them.
“As you travel we are with you.
Comfort in the power
Confident in the strength
Never to leave, always to be near
Surrounded as the hills about
Behind and in front, hand placed upon the head
Courage that will not fail,Courage that will not.
The river waits, the river of pleasure waits…”
Zechariah’s Visions: Under the Myrtle Trees
“I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in the bottom; and behind him were there red horses, speckled, and white.” (Zechariah 1:8)
The Lord divulges ten visions to Zechariah in one night. All of them are among myrtle trees in the “bottom” of a dark, mysterious, and somewhat eerie ravine near Jerusalem. The first vision reveals a man on a red horse responding to questions from the “angel of the LORD” and “the LORD of hosts” (Zechariah 1:8-17).
It is likely that the angel of the Lord is a pre-incarnate form of Christ speaking to the First Person of the Godhead. Two other horsemen are cited, which ties these heavenly envoys to the four horsemen of Revelation and to the horsemen driving the four chariots revealed in Zechariah 6.
When Zechariah asks, “What are these?” (8:9), he is told that they are responsible to “walk to and fro” on Earth and inform the Godhead of their findings. On this specific occasion they report that “the earth is at rest.” Immediately, the “angel of the LORD” asks the Lord of hosts how long He would wait to bring judgment on the nations that have abused Judah now that the 70 years have passed and the punishment of Israel and Judah has been accomplished.
The Lord gives “good and comfortable words,” noting that He was displeased with the nations who had carried out His judgment because they had done more damage than necessary. However, the Lord promises that He will return and build his house, restore Jerusalem to prominence, and “comfort Zion” (Zechariah 1:17).
The following visons outline the inexorable promises of God that will be fulfilled in the years to come. “For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us” (2 Corinthians 1:20). HMM III

Today’s reading: Deuteronomy 7.
Dear God,
It lifted my spirit to open your letter today and read there about your love for your people. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by your holiness and think that I could never receive your affection. Many times in these early books of the Bible I have read about your fierce judgments. Often I hear others talk about the priority of your desire to be glorified. But today, in your own hand, I saw these words and my heart soared: Continue reading
