Daily Thoughts - Into the deep.

"Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes in the one who sent me has eternal life and will not come to condemnation, but has passed from death to life.
Do not be amazed at this, because the hour is coming in which all who are in the tombs will hear his voice and will come out, those who have done good deeds to the resurrection of life, but those who have done wicked deeds to the resurrection of condemnation." John 5:24, 28-29
God said. Once again we listen to the words of Jesus, we hear what He says to us. Hearing is only the beginning, it is in believing where we move from death to life. Belief is a conviction, it is an understanding and it requires faith to act upon His words you hear. ""Everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock." Matthew 7:24. Jesus acted upon the words of His Father and raised the dead, healed the blind and the lame. Our belief is determined by our actions.
The resurrection of the condemnation, all will hear His voice. What is condemnation? Jesus was condemned in the world but never succumbed to its temptations, He acted upon the words of His Father. Whose words are you acting upon. I am learning that if self is in the way then they are not God's words I am acting upon. Thankful for a merciful God.
"Lord Jesus, Son of the Living God, have mercy upon me a sinner."
Dear Father, I am thankful beyond measure to be able to listen to You and respond to Your voice. Your timing is amazing but that is also confirmation we are hearing You. I ask for the wisdom to recognize discernment of spirits when the evil one is seeking to divide, persecute and conquer. Open our eyes to the reality of him. Prayers for a dear friend that ran the good race, faced the battles of this world and went home last night. May he be resting in Peace and eating at the table of plenty this morning. Keep us in your prayers my friend. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Peace, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Head of the Holy Family, Pray for us.
St Ignatius, Pray for us.
St Patrick, Pray for us.
