NOTE from Ron Mainse: My Dad does not know I’m adding this to his blog, but I wanted all of his blog-reader friends to know that today is a special day… Dad’s 76th birthday! Happy Birthday, Dad! Thanks for continuing to be a blessing to so many. I love you.

 

THE WORD OF MOSES

Suggested Reading: Exodus 8

(click scripture link to read online)

The Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut is located beneath the cliffs at Deir el Bahari on the west bank of the Nile near the Valley of the Kings in Egypt.

Key Verse: Exodus 8:13a

So the Lord did according to the word of Moses.

Moses spoke, and God backed him up with supernatural power. Some have used this reality to get God to do their will. No, no, we are to do God’s will. First we find out the will of God, and then we speak, and God acts accordingly. Jesus’ word was always effective, 100% of the time. Why? Because He could say, “The Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do” (John 5:19). Jesus got up very early each morning to spend time with His Father in prayer (Mk 1:35). Jesus functioned as a Man filled with the Holy Spirit. He was, is, and ever shall be fully God, but He laid aside the exercise of His Diety. He took time to find His Father’s plan for the new day, and then did what His Father wanted to do. This is also the way we can know what to speak, and God will do that which we speak as He did for Moses.

PRAYER FOR TODAY:

Father God, I want what You want. Help me to speak out that which You give me to speak so that “Your will shall be done on earth as it is in Heaven.” I pray this in the Name of Jesus who always, without fail, did Your perfect will. Amen!

100 PERSONAL WORDS:

I remember Norma-Jean coming home with a booklet entitled, “Hung by the Tongue.” It pointed out the power of our words for good or evil, for positive or negative results. Jesus never ever used His essential divinity for selfish purposes. He lived as a Spirit-filled human being. The temptation of Jesus is an example of this (Matt 4:3-4). He could’ve turned the stones into bread as Satan suggested, but He refused to help Himself in this way. It’s sad to report that there are those today who claim “prosperity” for themselves, twisting the Scriptures, seeking to manipulate God for their own purposes, taking advantage of their position of influence to manipulate people into giving sacrifically so that the manipulator may prosper. Simon the sorcerer did this. Please look this up as I have done (Acts 8:9). Run from those who, like Simon, are “claiming that he was someone great,” and verse 10 says, “All gave heed to him from the least to the greatest saying, ‘This man is the great power of God.'”

Yours for hearing from God each morning and then speaking and doing His will,

David

  13. Dear David- I know this might sound strange on a day you are being shower with good wishes and blessng, but it is my prayer for you, to experience a deeper relationship with our Lord, far deeper than you have experienced so far, which is pretty deep.

  29. A Blessed Happy Birthday from an ex-Red Laker. I tell people now that “David Mainse slept in my bed”. Although I didn’t give in to God for many years, it’s people like yourself that slowly impressed God’s truth on me…and my mother’s prayers.

  30. Happy Birthday David I wish you health & happiness & many more years to come.
    I have been watching 100 Huntley Street since early in the year. My life has made a huge turn around. I just joined 100 words about a week ago. Thankyou so much for all you do (all of you). I is good to see that there are so many people who are working to make a difference in the world in the name of Jesus. Thankyou again.
    Lorna
    PS: Thankyou to Reynold for the lovely photos.

  31. A Blessed Happy Birthday David from an ex-Red Laker. Only God knew that there would still be a connection 54 years later. It was through the influence of Godly people like yourselves that, years later, drew me to my point of submission. My claim to fame is when I tell people that “David Mainse slept in my bed”. Thank you for your daily influence on our lives through your blog.

  32. Happy Birthday David! Psalm 84, especially verses 11,12. Thank you for blessing me/us with your daily 100 words. It is a privilege to hear from you ‘personally’ each morning. Blessings to you and your family…

  40. Happy Birthday DAVID
    You must have prayed to share the perfect peace you have found with the LORD for it was a most peaceful sunday in the Slave Lakes and districts in Alberta this Aug. 12th after several days of thunder storms, and broken trees, many families were able to re-unite after last years fires. In 1978 I saw the turin schroud for the first time and a picture of a family of 4 fleeing thru a raging forest fire and now you are showing that schroud again and I have seen a great survival of many families that have just gone thru the real thing. BIRTHDAYS are truly a wonderfull thing. xoxox brotherly Don

  41. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU DAVID MAINSE!!!! The Lord has blessed you and kept and as He continues to do so, be encouraged that your obedience to God’s plans for your life is an encouragement to me to continue to diligently seek the Lord with all my might even in my “senior years”. May you enjoy many more years to come!!!!

  42. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE MOST HUMBLE SERVANT OF GOD I’VE EVER KNOW!!!!!! thank you for sharing your blessings to us. We really appreciate you dedication serving God. I am praying for you to get better completely. I love you Mr. David Mainse.
