CONSUMED SERIES REVIEW, PART 2



“For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12

“… and if anyone takes away from the words of the Book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the tree of life and from the holy city, which are written in this book. 

“He who testifies to these things says, ‘Yes, I am coming quickly.’  Amen.  Come, Lord Jesus.  The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all God’s people.  Amen.”  Revelation 22:18

As we’ve walked through the many Scripture verses where the word ‘to consume’ or ‘to be consumed’ appeared, it has been an interesting and enlightening journey.  Here are the various meanings of consumed in Scripture, include:

·        To cease, to be finished, perish or be completed
·        To cease or stop
·        The end of a process (Genesis 1)
·        Disappearance of something or the process of ending
·        Successfully completing, is fulfilled
·        Making a firm decision
·        To make something vanish or go away
·        To destroy, to die or perish
·        To go away comes to an end or stops within
·        To be complete, finished complete
·        Exhausted completely destroyed
·        Soundness, perfect
·        Blameless and with integrity

Take care with love, especially His!  Your servant and friend in Christ, who still prays for you each morning. Darlene

  • Baby Jolie– 11 months old with meningitis and kidney failure.  Has been on dialysis and a respirator.  Her breathing tube now removed, and she is out of Intensive care.  However, they still MAY HAVE TO AMPUTATE her leg.  Please continue to pray her leg will be saved, her health carers to have wisdom and compassion, her parents to have patience and peace and that the Lord provides a miracle of healing for this child.  Family so grateful for all the prayers.
  • Savannah – 15-year-old granddaughter of Cliff and Beth, diagnosed with a difficult-to-treat, psychological disorder with potential serious consequences.  New meds seem to be helping.  She has a long recover ahead, but there is progress with this brain injury.  Pray for her attitude, wisdom for her health carers, patience for her parents and complete healing.
  • USA President Donald Trump – It is our responsibility as Christians to remember God has a plan through this man.  If you doubt the importance of his appointment, just look at how much antagonism there is against him.  Surely Satan is NOT happy and means to thwart God’s plan.  Pray someone helps President Trump understand the true meaning of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, that he will have a driving hunger to read God’s Word for himself and that God sends a Bible-believing Christian to regularly disciple him in the Truth and that God shuts the mouths of the false prophets who circle around him. 
  • Fred – is making plans to move from California to Tennessee in the first quarter of 2020.  Pray for his wise attention to details and stamina as he makes this life change.
  • Tracey – Pray Tracey finds a new role to satisfy her and allow her to grow and share her skills and wisdom.
  • Me – Please pray for the Lord to provide a new project for me and that my laptop can be fixed soon (if you receive the email version with the full prayer list, this is why the format is different.

PRAY FOR THOSE IN FULL-TIME SERVICE
