God Is Ready To Help
Psalm 46:1 God is a safe place to hide, ready to help when we need him. We stand fearless at the cliff-edge of doom, courageous in seastorm and earthquake, Before the rush and roar of oceans, the tremors that shift mountains.

Matthew 5:14-16 You are the world’s light—a city on a hill, glowing in the night for all to see. Don’t hide your light! Let it shine for all; let your good deeds glow for all to see, so that they will praise your heavenly Father.
Matthew 27:21 When the governor asked again, “Which of these two shall I release to you?” the crowd shouted back their reply: “Barabbas!”
The Jews took Jesus to Pontious Pilate for trial. Really? It was Pilate who was on trial and the Romans and the Jews. Without having to go to court and face a jury each of us is ‘on trial’
Strangely enough, the question raised by Pilate is still relevant today. It is a case of who or what we decide to release from HOLDING IS CAPTIVE. It is in our hands to send marching those who oppress us, work against us, enslave us and sometimes make money of us.
John 10:10 says “The thief’s purpose is to steal, kill and destroy. My purpose is to give life in all its fullness.” John 8:44 says “You are the children of your father the devil and you love to do the evil things he does. He was a murderer from the beginning and a hater of truth—there is not an iota of truth in him. When he lies, it is perfectly normal; for he is the father of liars.”
It is within our willpower to delegate Satan to the defeat he is already under from the victorious Christ. We can give him his marching orders by allowing Jesus to capture us and bringing us into the encirclement of love, a unique captivity by our consent.
The choice is ours! We can either release Satan and His hold on our lives or, release Jesus to be our ‘One True Higher Power.” The choice is ours!
– WHO WILL YOU RELEASE?
The Bible says Romans 5:2 We throw open our doors to God and discover at the same moment that he has already thrown open his door to us. We find ourselves standing where we always hoped we might stand–out in the wide open spaces of God’s grace and glory, standing tall and shouting our praise.
I am pleased to report it is all coming together.
The checklist:
Video (ready)
Audio (ready)
Lighting (ready)
A space in which to record efficiently and effectively (ready)
For the next few days, we will be working on getting all the balances and editing right but by next week we should be ready to start producing videocasting. The goal is eventually to go to live streaming video but that will take a bit longer.
KEEP WATCHING THIS SPACE!
Living Life Recovery is a safe place where people can come, share and investigate the realities of God’s promises for themselves.
We believe that as we investigate God’s promises for our lives and practice the ‘Spiritual Principles of Recovery’ as outlined in ‘God’s Word’ we will find the strength and freedom we need to live productive and peaceful lives.
We welcome anyone who has a sincere desire to change their lives. To rise above the pain and turmoil caused by dependencies and compulsive behaviors their own lives or the lives of a loved one or friend.
Many of us wallow in our pasts and sink easily into the harbour of such memories. Ask forgiveness for allowing these feelings to overcome what you know is your new reality. This episode is also available as a blog post: https://livingliferecovery.com/2022/04/27/thougtfortoday/
