When reading in the book of Hebrews this morning a particular verse caused me to stop and ponder and reflect over the times that I observe such behavior as is Heb. 10: 35, Do not, therefore, fling away your fearless confidence, for it carries a glorious compensation of reward. But then the following verses say, Receive and carry away and enjoy to the full what is promised, through patient endurance, you will fully accomplish the will of God if we do not draw back or shrink in fear. Because we are those who believe, trust in and rely on God through Jesus Christ, the Messish and (because of) by our faith preserve the (my) soul. Now faith is the assurance (the confirmation), the title deed of things (we) hope for being the proof of things (we) do not see and conviction of their reality (faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to our senses). Heb.10 :36-39; Heb.11:1.

And so knowing this truth, is it any wonder that we are able to enjoy our relationship with Jesus (spiritual) as with a (natural) friend, for He is non the less real and present? Thus it was that I enjoyed a three-way converstion and visit today when a friend called from DC. to ask if I had time to pray with him and talk with the Lord. These are times of refreshing and restoration of enthusiam and excitement in the midst of a busy schedule. It really is like recharging a battery when you plug it into the currant because the flow of Holy Spirt just renews my thought s as well as my body. Today was especially stimulating as we each prayed in the spirit language and the Lord responded by way of the other in English. What a joy we experienced having our Lord talk so freely to and through each of us telling us things we did not know. What a privilege to have Jesus as such an intimate friend that we three could just visit together at length. We make these connection two to three times a week simply to remain charged up and on fire in the Holy Spirit.
