Grateful For Gifts Taken Back? - DianaDeeOsborneSongs.com

GRATEFUL FOR GIFTS GIVEN BACK? - by DianaDee Osborne

PARABLE:

How would you feel if you'd given someone a great gift that gave delight-- but later for some reason had to take it back. Wouldn't you be unhappy if the person was FURIOUS at you, instead of thanking you for that past time of Pleasure?

A SERMON NEVER HEARD about Jonah:

Sure, point of last in this short Book of God =

Jonah is SELFISH: He cares MORE about personal comfort

& not at all for a "city full of people" who would die if they rejected God's Gift Warnings thru Jonah.

BUT WHY didn't Jonah focus on the JOY OF THE TREE gift that God gave for awhile?....

Why did Jonah get MAD AT GOD after that time of DEEP SHADE on a hot day?

SO WHAT ??
Do WE get mad at God when He stops giving a Past Blessing?.... He surely doesn't deserve anything but Thanks for those times.... including about Health, I've been reminding myself. . Good devotional emphasizes: Gifts from God Are BLESSINGS but NOT OWED to us.... . Photo credit:

What does LORD God say ??

Philippians 4:6-7

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Hebrews 13:15-16

Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise — the fruit of lips that openly profess his name. And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.

Prayer:
LORD God who is named YHWH (You said in Isaiah 42:8 Hebrew),

PLEASE FORGIVE ME when I am ungrateful.

PLEASE FORGIVE ME when I m selfish and get angry after the

Time of Your gift ends. Help me to enjoy what you give and THANK You always.

EVEN IF You in Your wisdom later decide to take back that gift

for Your own (always good) reason.

Trying To Define the Beast Mark

TRYING TO DEFINE THE BEAST MARK - by DianaDee Osborne

DATE of posting: 17 June 2021 SUBSCRIBE
https://www.facebook.com/dianadee.osborne/

PARABLE:
An Intriguing Q, but no one (on earth) knows.

And OHHH, when people don't KNOW something,

they love to ACT Smart.

End of Romans 1, God said it:

"Pretending to be wise, they become fools".... TOPIC: The Mark of the Beast.... Even a decade ago, people assumed it was a tattoo, perhaps a bar code. Then QR codes got invented. Now dog tracking chips are commonly implanted so the tech is there.

Key = impact: No buying or selling unless you have "it"... and with fake vaccine records already common + concerns internationally to prove if a person really had it.... God's really setting up His chess board for end times... Revelation 13: 16-17 and Revelation 14:9 (see below).

SO WHAT ??
SO ----- Let's just be warned by God's word.... BELIEVE Him & TEACH IT --

BUT QUIT wasting time acting like "My Guess Is Best".

2nd Corinthians 10:5, Thru Paul, God tells us to

CAST DOWN ALL IMAGINATIONS... arguments.

If God WANTED us to know the Precise Description of the "Mark of the Beast",

HE WOULD HAVE TOLD US.

Thus: All we NEED to know is that WHATEVER this Mark looks like is NOT important.

Just do not accept any permanent thing done to your head or hand that is

required or else the Human Government Powers will not allow you to

BUY ANYTHING or EARN ANY WAY TO PAY for anything-- including your home and food.

What does LORD God say ??
Revelation 13: 16-17 -- does NOT describe how the Mark looks.

13 He [Beast] performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. 14 And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs

16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Revelation 14: 9

https://www.blueletterbible.org/nkjv/rev/14/9/s_1181009

9 Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.” 12 Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

Prayer:
LORD God who is named YHWH (You said in Isaiah 42:8 Hebrew),

Help me to have the wisdom to know WHEN something is NOT important for me to know every detail.... when I should just accept Your WARNING and trust that You have TOLD us all we need to know in Your Scriptures. Please help me to not be fooled

into arguing with people WHAT the Mark of the Beast Looks like....

but to stay Aware, Awake, Keeping Watch for the time when my

"favorite lifestyle" or even my life may be threatened if I don't agree to

put You, God, first above all else -- even above threatening government people.

Surprised By God's "NO HEALING"

SURPRISED BY GOD'S "NO HEALING" - by DianaDee Osborne

DATE of posting: 16 June 2021 SUBSCRIBE
https://www.facebook.com/dianadee.osborne/

PARABLE:
Are you SURPRISED when God doesn't answer your prayers for healing after many months... or years? You'd think "Faith" would mean not being surprised by Miracles, but wondering "What did I do WRONG?" if God does NOT heal.

SO WHAT ??
Where are the sermons? >> It intrigues me that Never Yet have I heard a sermon wondering if perhaps Paul was SURPRISED by the events leading him to write 2nd Corinthians 12:7-10 ... when he realized that NO, God was NOT going to deliver him from whatever "that" was,

even to "let Paul serve God Better"

(in Paul's humble opinion)....

After all--

we readers have often been "surprised" when God does not answer the way that seems best to US..

What does LORD God say ??
James 1, beginning with audience: SUFFERING FOLLOWERS scattered by persecution:

To the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad: Greetings.

2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials,

3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.

4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God,

who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting,

for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

2nd Corinthians 12 - Paul speaking about a problem that appears to have been

physical, because of the word "infirmities" in verse 10.

As much as Paul served God, if anyone "deserved" healing, it was Paul.

But God who always knows best said NO HEALING when Paul repeatedly prayed.

7 And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure. 8 Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me.

9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Prayer:
LORD God, it is difficult to imagine being "PLEASED" with lack of healing, with infirmities,

as Paul said in Verse 10. But YOU guided Paul to write that.

So please help me to be as YOU want... including trusting Your EVERY NO

as well as delighting in your YES answers to my prayers -- even about healing. Thank you.

When I'm Tired Of ME

WHEN I'M TIRED OF ME - by DianaDee Osborne

DATE of posting: 15 June 2021 SUBSCRIBE
https://www.facebook.com/dianadee.osborne/

PARABLE:

I am SO tired of myself. (See FAIRY TALE quote in photo). I've sadly joked: Few people I actually dislike being with-- but too often: One = ME. Unlike people, I can't just avoid Me. ... Tired of seeing I'm dumber than I'd thought. (Silly: Should know that by now!) Tired of decision making-- It always risks finding out I made a dumb one. ( ! ) ... Tired of fighting temptations re diet & "Discernment VS being Critical"-- constant possibility of failure Most of all: Tired of being sad realizing that even my thoughts can hurt God & He doesn't deserve that after all His blessings...

"A Double Story" = GREAT "fairy tale" parable QUOTE by George MacDonald, best friend of C.S. Lewis (Narnia bks)...

A selfish girl thinks she's BETTER than others, & "CAN DO IT ALL BY MYSELF".

The Wise Woman (author's GOD parable) teaches her by LEAVING her by herself.

ONLY after repeated failures does girl learn she is NOT EVER going to be good enough without the Wise Woman--

Who then tells her, I WILL HELP you-- because ONLY NOW can I help you.

SO WHAT ??
Being not as smart as I'd like.... I'm not sure how to word this Parable of ourselves.

But that itself is a key clue:

HUMBLENESS that tells God, like this girl had said:

"I don't even like me without You, LORD GOD.

I'm sorry. I WANT to be how You want. Please help me." ....

What does LORD God say ??

Through John 14:26, Jesus clearly tells us that HE SENDS US HELP

so that we can REMEMBER ALL that He taught us....

and remember that as God dwelling Among us (Zechariah 2:10 + John 1:14),

that means ALL the scriptures, He will help us to remember as we need!

(JOHN 14:27, therefore we will have PEACE beyond understanding.)

Through 2nd Corinthians 3:18 -- God clearly tells us that HE SENDS US HELP

so that we can GROW TO REFLECT Him, to BE more like Him,

thru the Holy Spirit answering our prayers, including those when we pray:

"I don't like me. Please help ME to be someone pleasing to YOU, dear LORD."

Prayer:
LORD God, it is SO amazing that You, the LORD of All, INVITE us to "reason with You",

respectfully of course -- Isaiah 1:18.

Please forgive me when my prayers are selfish.

When my feelings drive me to pray foolish, complaining, or DISCOURAGED words....

Help me to truly reflect You in all parts of my life ---- including in my prayers themselves.

THANK YOU, LORD GOD.

Knees Or Fruit Truth

KNEES or FRUIT Truth - by DianaDee Osborne

DATE of posting: 14 June 2021 SUBSCRIBE
https://www.facebook.com/dianadee.osborne/

PARABLE:
On a TV's "Bones" show: Forensics team guessed--

based on the heavy wear on the corpse's knees--

that he spent a lot of time praying. I often think upon that.

Do my knees show any "evidence" of the TRUTH of

how much I do -- or don't --

love & talk to & seek to obey God?...

SO WHAT ??
Galatians 5:22-26 lists WAYS we show people that God's Word is Truth...

NOT by "seeing us pray", but by fruits HE helps us have.

We reflect God more & more as we mature in leaving behind self-centeredness.

And His HELP comes via asking:

Romans 8:26, Ephesians 3:20-21, 2nd Corinthians 3:18.

What does LORD God say ??
Romans 8: 26-27. 26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us[fn] with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

Ephesians 3: 20-21a. 20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21 to Him be glory

2nd Corinthians 3: 18 New Living Translation

So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image.

Prayer:
LORD God who is named YHWH (You said in Isaiah 42:8 Hebrew),

Help me to fully ENJOY praying... defined as Talking with and LISTENING to Yoou...

just BEING with You, my amazing LORD God named YHWH.... May you find pleasure in ME,

whether I'm walking or driving or on my knees.

PI Memorization and NUMEROLOGY

PI Memorization & NUMEROLOGY - by DianaDee Osborne

DATE of posting: 13 June 2021 SUBSCRIBE
https://www.facebook.com/dianadee.osborne/

PARABLE:
WOULDN'T you LOVE to "look smart" by quoting 30 Numbers of the math value for PI? >> 3.14159265358979... See photo for trick. PATTERNS help us memorize.

Human-assigned verse numbers are so intriguing that it seems as if GOD guided those who chose them... Like ALL the Bible books where 3:16 is VERY important! .. BEWARE, though: Superstition is becoming rampant among Christians, and Satan is LOVING it...

SO WHAT ??
Some people won't act without SIGNS or DREAMS to "guide" them. .. SO WHAT ?? ... Answer is CRUCIAL>> Jesus SCOLDED those who demand SIGNS or DREAMS to guide them (John 4:48) -- while saying that JONAH was a real guy-- Luke 11:29. Patterns are great for learning, but BEWARE of even Christians who use "numerology" as if it were God's main Communication tool.

Patterns are great for learning, but BEWARE of even Christians who

use "numerology" as if it were God's main Communication tool.

Using ANYTHING other than God to seek guidance or to gain control or to look as if you have "SECRET KNOWLEDGE" is

a FORM OF WITCHCRAFT that is REBELLION against God's Way.

What does LORD God say ??
John 14 - Jesus speaking:

25 “These things I have spoken to you while being present with you.

26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name,

He will teach you all things,

and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Prayer:
LORD God who is named YHWH (You said in Isaiah 42:8 Hebrew),

You are SUCH an amazing Creator with a world of patterns like FIBONACCI sequences

that I would NOT be surprised to know You'd inspired scripture verse references

to be easier for us to memorize where to Find Your Words.

Help me to be smarter. I yearn to be smarter.

But more than that -- I pray that the Holy Spirit will HELP ME REMEMBER

all that Jesus taught, that You gave, through scriptures -- as Jesus promised in John 14:26.
