God Don’t Make Junk - Now Think On This by Steve Martin

God Don’t Make Junk

Now Think On This

Steve Martin

  

“So God created humankind in his own image; in the image of God he created him:

male and female he created them.” Genesis 1:27 CJB

  

A few years ago, maybe even in my high school days, back in “the” day, there was a popular saying, “God Don’t Make Junk.” Any of you remember that? (Proves you too are over 30!)

It seemed to be a real encouragement to people. T-shirts, posters and artwork creations used it quite well and quite often. I know it was an inspiration for me, when I was the one who was a mere 5’0” in my freshman class and everyone else, even that pretty freshman girl that I liked, was just a bit taller than I was. Or like several others, who because the grade school we came from didn’t carry the “popular” status that the other ones across town did, and thus did “those kids”, our social standing was, well, a bit lower on the ladder ranking. Yes, sometimes we felt just a bit below the ground, and sometimes even wanted to dig a hole and crawl in it.

I know it is true today with young people, and even adults. We have this great image laid out before us, on TV, in print, in the movies, of how we are supposed to be, and yet it is hard to not have that affect you personally, deep in your thoughts and heart. Some even resort to taking their own life, as they are told theirs isn’t important because of this or that ungodly lie.

But no one has to accept those lies. We can believe the truth - we have been created in His image. Because God is good, because God IS Love, because GOD IS OUR CREATOR, He doesn’t make junk. Our worth, our importance, our self-esteem is to be established in Him, because of Him and Jesus’ redemptive work on the cross on our behalf.

No life is to be rejected. No person, born or unborn, is to have their worth determined by some standard that man has chosen to establish, to set themselves on high, to the detriment of all others. No Jew, Gentile, black, white, Christian, Hindu, Muslim, or anyone else is to be rejected. All are loved by the Lord and sought by Him, so that each can receive and know His Son Jesus as their Savior, and live with the full knowledge that He is their Father and Perfect Creator.

And as we walk in His love, acceptance and understanding of our worth in Him, we will see our lives become even more and more brighter and beautiful as God enters our lives and we become like Him.

For as the truth in Scripture is written, “Whenever, though, they turn to face God as Moses did, God removes the veil and there they are — face to face! They suddenly recognize that God is a living, personal presence, not a piece of chiseled stone. And when God is personally present, a living Spirit, that old, constricting legislation is recognized as obsolete. We're free of it! All of us! Nothing between us and God, our faces shining with the brightness of his face. And so we are transfigured much like the Messiah, our lives gradually becoming brighter and more beautiful as God enters our lives and we become like him.” 2 Cor. 3:16-18 THE MESSAGE

As we look to Jesus, Yeshua HaMashiach, our Messiah, who is the Author and Finisher of our faith, our eyes with meet His eyes. That is the look we need to focus on. He is the One we need to declare to our heads and firmly place into our hearts, that “God don’t make junk.” He certainly doesn’t, and you can stand tall in that truth.

Now think on this,

Prophetic Word - March 11, 2014 from Jeremy Lopez

Prophetic Word 

March 11, 2014

Jeremy Lopez - Identity Network

First of all I want to tell you that you are such a blessing to the Body of Christ. I don’t have to even know you completely in the natural to know that so many people’s lives you are going to touch. You are such a light and a beacon to so many people and you are going to lead them with good direction and guidance and instruction. I really felt that in my spirit and I wanted to share that with you. It is good sometimes that we encourage and exhort one another but especially knowing that God shared that with us to tell someone else.

I want to thank you for being who you are in the Body of Christ. You are a big, big blessing.

Here is one thing the Lord spoke into my spirit for you. As I prayed earlier to ask the Lord what He wanted to say to you.

My son I want you to know today that there is going to be a new season approaching you, a new atmosphere, a new environment, one that is going to be different for you. It is not the fact there will be a time bomb effect exploding. It will be a little bit here, a little bit there. Line upon line, precept upon precept, where something is going to be radically changed within your life.

There is such a drive in you, a call in you to want to touch lives and do things for the Kingdom of God. Also remember that there is such a financial ability about to come upon you. It is almost as if there are shackles about to come off of you because you have been faithful to the Kingdom of God, even faithful in small things, you’ve been faithful in small areas.

This is a season where I will make you faithful and ruler over many things. There is a new anointing of authority coming upon you that is going to begin to give you the strength to let your yeses be yeses and your nos be nos.  To begin to speak the word of the Lord and speak the promises of God. And speak and give your word, and when you give your word people are going to look at you and say, “Now that’s a man who follows through with his word. Whatever he tells you he will do, you know he is going to follow through with it.”

Son, that is who you are. You are a man of wisdom and integrity. And in this season you are going to begin to see life, and light to begin to come out of you. The light is going to shine in dark places for people to be able to see and have hope. It is Christ in you the Hope of Glory. And as I work in you and through you I am opening up this season a treasure chest within your earthen vessel, within your belly and I am going to speak treasure to come out of you. I am going to speak wisdom and principles and impartations to come out of you.

But I also am going to release the rivers inside of your belly of creativity. You have got a vast array of creativity. I see light upon light, almost as if you look through a prism, when you shine a light through it you have different colors. That is how it is inside of your belly. It is a prism of many different colors waiting to be released and launched out. God says the light in Me is going to be the light in you. I am going to shine bright through you, and the brilliance and the radiance of My glory is going to shine through you.

I have called you to be such a leader, such a man of integrity in this hour. Be the man with the plan. Always find yourself ready in season and out of season. And I am going to begin to transform and change lives around you. But I also am going to start even with your own natural family. Even those around you that are blood kin to you. I am going to change those you haven’t even seen in a long time, that are in your family. You are going to begin to see transformation take place like never before.

In this season I have given you a strong anointing. You have an anointing to start something. It is time to rev your engine. It is time to put your key into the ignition and start it and crank it up. The car won’t go unless you crank it up. It is the season you have the keys, you hold the keys to begin to unlock, to loose and to turn on. You must understand that you first and foremost must first rev your own engine before you can rev the engines in lives of other people. You must get yourself in the place to jump start yourself. Be motivated and encouraged in My strength and My glory and My kingdom to where everything you do in your life will begin to be with top quality.

This is a season for you to understand that you are going to begin to touch. Here is what the Lord began to put in my spirit – I heard the name Tom or Thomas. This is going to be in the next year to two years, you are going to come across a Tom, or a Tommy or a Thomas – that is how the Lord put it to me, because he actually goes by three different names to different people in his life. You are going to run across a Tom, Tommy or Thomas, and when you do you, remember this word, for I am going to give you a word of prophecy for him, in the sense of a word of encouragement, a word that is going to begin to speak into his life and it will begin to help transform his life.

Get ready son for I see different places with your face on it. I am going to cause your face to be made known. In fact I will confirm it with you, that you are going to be in a conversation within the next six to 12 months, and when you are, this person to whom you are talking to will say, “Hey, you know what, I totally get it. I am very good with faces and not names. That is actually going to be a confirmation to let you know that your face is going to be made known among people that you talk to everyday. Everyday people you come across will remember your face. And people will say, “You must have a twin, because your face looks so familiar to me.”

These are going to be signs to you to let you know that I am working in you and through you and that people will remember your face. As they remember your face they are also going to remember how you touched their lives, whether it is in passing conversation, whether it is a joke, whether it is laughing, or whatever you give to them is going to be part of My kingdom being stretched in you to begin to plow the ground of their heart, to begin to let them know there is hope and a bright future for them as well says the Lord.

Wow.

This week’s announcement that scientists had finally confirmed the existence of gravitational waves rippling through the universe, thereby bolstering the Big Bang Theory, would presumably be a blow to those who believe in the Bible.

Not so, Professor Nathan Aviezer of Israel’s Bar Ilan University told The Times of Israel.

“Without addressing who or what caused it, the mechanics of the creation process in the Big Bang match the Genesis story perfectly,” Aviezer explained. “The universe had a definite starting point - a creation - as described in the Book of Genesis. To deny this now is to deny scientific fact.”

In remarks to The Jerusalem Post, Prof. Aviezri S. Fraenkel of The Weizmann Institute noted that science is actually moving closer to, rather than further from, the biblical account. Whereas ancient philosophers were of the mind that the universe had existed forever, modern science now knows “there is a definite beginning.”

Fraenkel continued: “In fact, the modern theories, which don’t yet explain all the observed cosmological facts, bestow new meaning to the biblical verse in Psalms 92, 6: How great are your deeds, O Lord! Your thoughts are very deep.”

Leading international physicists, including Prof. Stephen Hawking and the late Paul Dirac, both avowed atheists, have long supported the notion that the universe had a starting point, though they admit modern science is incapable of determining why, how or by whom it was started.

“Five Fingers and a Paw” - Ahava Love Letter (Steve Martin)

                    

                    “Five Fingers and a Paw”

“Bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart.” (Prov. 7:3 NKJV)

Dear family of friends,

Sleeping next to me in my favorite rocker, I again am amazed at her paws. Each has a full pad, to protect her from the heat, the cold, and even sharp fallen tree objects as she walks the paths we take her on. Created in an extraordinary way, our Dachshund Zoe fascinates me. She is among all the creatures the Lord God of all has made. Awesome. Glorious.

There are so many breeds of animals. Each with specific features unique to the purpose He designed them to have in this world. What a mind He has, to have thought of so many different ones, and to place them in our lives. So much pleasure these creatures have brought us, both great and small, given to mankind since the beginning of time.

And then I look at my own fingers, five on each hand. That too is something that causes me to think of His glory. So different from the other mammals. Superior in many ways, given to us to work, to play music, to hold another’s hand.

When I take time to just stop and consider Him, how can I not call Him God Almighty, the Creator of the Universe? We have our super heroes, our exciting sports champions, our strong leaders who have guided us on to many good results. But when I think of our Father’s heart and His purposes for each of us, nothing and no one can compare to Him.

Five fingers and a paw – just two simple pictures of His love expressed for us. Thank you Lord Jesus for creating these, and for all Your creation that we often take for granted.

We appreciate You and Your mighty works done on our behalf.

Ahava to my family of friends,

Steve Martin
