Day 15 Daily Writing Challenge

-

Good morning my good people. Today is Day 15 of my writing challenge the word for the day is  “place.”  The room place is defined as a particular space occupied, a abode or a home.


Let not your heart be troubled; believe in God; believe also in Me.  In my Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.  And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.  John 14 1-3


Jesus has made a “place” for us. A abode or dwelling place.


Jesus answered and said unto him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word, and My Father will love him, and We will come to him, and make Our abode with him. John 14:23


The Father has a special place for us. A place of mercy and grace where his river flows free.  It is in Jesus where we find our place within the Father.  The enemy would like for us to think there is no place for use in GOD. But Jesus prepared that secret place where we can find him in His grace!!


Back when I first got on the internet in 1999 the first group i created at Yahoo was a very special group i created…The name of it was “A Place of Grace.”  That name says it all. The name represents a glorious truth…the treasure of his holy presence is where we abide with Jesus who was and still is grace and truth.  


God had given me a full revelation of His grace. With that revelation came a great healing from church hurts.  When I would get hurt by church members in the past, I would not only leave the church but I would back away from God. When I got the revelation of God’s grace he healed my wounded heart. I came to realize that the church body is not perfect…Folks there is no perfect church. But we serve a perfect God.  


I came to a place of maturity in abiding in God’s grace.  




May you find that place that Jesus prepared for you in His great grace. That place of healing and restoration!!

This is my third book published since 2018!!!   The first two books were published by publishers that I know. The third book was written and published by me! I am so excited to bring to you, "Your Abiding Presence" poetry written and self-published by me of course.  I designed the cover and everything without much help. That means I did all the work myself... Thank you, Lana Scoggins, for coaching me at first and then allowing me to go to work with it!! I am so overwhelmed with God's grace and peace; this is a very difficult process being a self-publisher through KDP.   But God did it!!! Please if you feel led, order a copy of my second and third books here is s a link to them both. IF you do order a book, please rate me and leave a review on Amazon. It would be very much appreciated! Here is my author page that you can subscribe to for future books: https://www.amazon.com/author/richardthicks60 https://a.co/d/ew6j3TP To order Your Abiding Presence https://a.co/...

It’s not that Complicated

  There is nothing complicated about hell…in fact it is very easy to get there.    I can assure you it’s not one big party with lots of rock music and sex.  Who would want to actually feel hells torment without any grace, mercy or relief. I do not know about you but I do not wish to go there If you intend to take the easy street then by all means be prepared for continual weeping and gnashing of teeth and the torment of eternal fiery punishment. Hell is not a complicated choice!!  Who would want to go there?  I would never desire to go there willingly.   Jesus came to this earth he hung on that cross as a human being   He was God in the flesh. There is not  a whole lot of preaching these days about going hell…we need to hear more fiery sermons from pulpits on Sunday mornings!!! Unrepentant sinners.will all go to hell.  It’s high time we repented of all our sins, and ask God to forgive you of all sin. Sin is sin and Jesus desires us to be...

Unexpected Testimony

A True shepherd of his flock will go looking for those who have wondered away from the fold....and will bring him back in his arms.    Jesus is the truest shepherd I know... The pastor of the true church of GOD should "shepherd" his congregation who are the sheep.  Why are not more pastors checking on those who walk away from the church? Recently i was talking to a friend who has left his church....He has been going through a tough time but just now getting back on his spiritual feet.  He texted the pastors of that church with no response from any of the church leadership!! Folks, I just do NOT think that is the right approach, no matter how bad or bruised that person is or was at the time they left....Pastors and churches will be held accountable. I have been going to churches up here in Heber Springs Arkansas for almost two years. My brother has no problem going out of his way taking me to church, but you would think the people in the church were going to lose...
