HOMECOMING - A-Spiritual-Re-Awakening: December 2025

PRAYERS

Welcome to this site. My prayer is that you take a look at the site and as you do, let the Holy Spirit speak to your heart and reveal what God wants you to discover. (in Jesus' name)

God tells us that if we see a brother (or sister) in need we should do that which is within our means to help. Prayer is always within our means but we never know what doors Father may open through them. Should you desire prayer for anything (healing, direction, etc.) or if you want supportive prayer along with your own please feel free to e-mail that request to sharbu3@gmail.com and be assured that there are others who will be praying with or for you.

In this blog, I share what the Lord shares with me. I reference scripture a lot in support of what is being said. I realize that what is in each entry is NOT a complete 'word' (discussion) on what is being said, but is rather enough information to stimulate our spirits to dig deeper (remember the Bereans Acts 17:10-11) thereby gaining a fuller understanding for ourselves.

At the end of each post are the options to share, forward or make a comment. Click 'comment' to respond. Let us know if you like, don't like or are helped by what you read. Comments can be made or read by anyone. All you have to do is select the "comment" at he end of the entry.

11-29-2025 I AM that I AM

Who is God?

God had just told Moses that He is ending him back to Egypt to

Set His people free. Moses asked whom shall I say sent me to bring them out? God replied ‘I AM that I AM’, tell them that ‘I AM’ has sent you.” (Exodus 3:13-14)

Why would God say something like that? He could have replied “Jehovah’, ‘YAWEH’ or any other name like ‘El Shaddai’ or ‘Elohim’, but He chose to tell Moses “I AM”.

Why?

First God is love (1 John 4:8)

Second God is Spirit (John 4:24)

Third God created all things (Gen. 1:1-31).

Then He expressed His ultimate power through time by performing miracles for Israel.

To mention several there were the ten plagues He set upon Egypt to encourage Pharaoh to release His people (Exod. Chptrs 4-12). He divided the Red Sea where Israel crossed unharmed but Pharaoh’s army was drowned (Exod. 14_21-23). Jericho whose walls came tumbling down by the people shouting and the trumpets sounding (Josh. 6:20). Also Shradrach, Meshach and Abednego, along with a fourth person went being untouched by the fiery furnace (Dan. 3:10-27). Not to mention Mary, who had never been with a an but gave birth to Jesus (Matt. 1:18-24). All the miracles performed by Jesus (Matt., Mark, Luke and John). And more evidence of God using humans to perform His miracles. Peter performed many miracles including the raising of Tabitha (Dorcas) from the dead (Acts 9:36-41) and Paul who performed many miracles including bringing life back to Eutychus after he had fallen from the third loft (Acts 20:7-12)

So God created the heavens and the earth and all that is in them and then performed miracles confirming his supremacy over all creation. For us – miracles, for God – ‘just all in a day’s work’!

Jesus performed miracles confirming His authenticity. What did Jesus do? Feed the hungry (Matt. 15:20-39), healed the sick (Matt. 4:3) and raised the dead (John 11:38-44)! And He gave authority to His apostles to do the same things He did land passed that on to us (John 14:12)?

Jesus promised the disciples that they would receive the Holy Ghost, after which they too would have power over the elements of the earth (John 20:22, Acts 1:8). Info: Holy Ghost and Holy Spirit are the same. The Hebrew word ruwach (H7307) means breath, spirit or exhalation while gava (H1478) is to breath out, give up the ghost or perish or human spirit. The Greek word pneuma (G4151 means breath, spirit, soul or ghost so it can apply to God (capitalized) or man (not capitalized)

Now, how can we see miracles performed by our hand. Three things need to be active in our lives: believe God desires and will give us this gift; be obedient and receive this gift; and then be bold enough to go out do it. remember it is not us doing it but Father, through the Holy Ghost in us (Acts 3:1-16).

Believe

In order to receive from God we need to believe that He is. He has created all things, even us (1 Col. 1:16). All things are created for our good (Rom. 8:28). And He has given us authority over creation (Gen. 1:28, Matt. 28:18, Phil. 4:13). Because we have the power of the Holy Ghost in us (Acts 1:8).

Obedient/receive

Being obedient means that if we love God, we will keep His commandments (John 14:15). And what are God’s Commandments? Of course, the Ten Commandments as given in Exodus (Exod: 20:3-17), but all that Father has done hang on a single, two-fold commandment which is to love God with all our heart, mind, soul and strength (Mark 12:30) and we should love our neighbor as our self (Mark 12:31). And as we keep God’s commandments, God will bless us beyond what we could imagine (Deut. 28:1-13, Eph. 3:19-20). Jesus also tells us that if we keep His commandments He will manifest Himself to us (John 14:21) and that Father and Son shall make their abode with us (John 14:23). His abode is living in us – through the Holy Ghost (John 14:18-26). Father will withhold nothing from those who walk uprightly (Psalm 84:11). Doors will be opened to us as we seek and knock (Matt. 7:7). When we believe that we can receive things from God, we will receive them (Mark 11:24). We ask, follow His commandments and live in His love (in His will which is pleasing to Him) we shall receive (1 John 3:22).

Do it

How can we expect Father to do anything through us when we don’t believe He can or will do it? Job came to know God personal (Job 42:5) and we also, need to come to that point where we don’t just know who Go is in our mind, but, as with Job, we discover who God is in our heart! Then, as we trust Father and allow the Holy Ghost, He will work in us and through us (John 14:16-18), teach us what to say (Luke 12:12) and lead us to all understanding (John 16:13). We will be amazed at the positive results that follow.

God told Ezekiel to command those old dry bones to come together, then connect those bones with sinew so they don’t become scattered all over the place anymore, then cover that with muscle so those bodies can do what Father has called them to do and finally encase it all in skin so they can look like what they are supposed to look like – a complete body and remember, we ae made in the image of God (Gen 1:27).

To realize all this, WE still have to put what we intend into action. Action is more than just praying. It should be us who go out and share the love of Christ with others so that they (also) might enter into the Kingdom of God. It should be us laying hands on people so they would be healed and/or made whole (Matt. 9:26, Mark 10:52, Matt. 14:35-36 ). And Jesus has even given us the ability to raise the dead (Peter, Acts 9:36-41 and Paul, Acts 20:12).

We must believe (ourselves) so that those whom we encounter can merge into our belief with their own so they might receive these blessings!

GOD IS I AM. He is anything and everything and it is His desire to share what He has with us so we can not only look like Him (in His image) but also act like Him (in His image).

So, we need to remember that we must believe that God is. Then His desire is to do good things for us and through us. We need that ‘Job’ relationship with Father. Abide in God’s love that is be obedient to, in and through His will. God has given gifts which are unique to us (1 Corinth.12:7-14, 1 Peter 4:10-11). However, faith without works is dead (James 2:14-26) so let us then go out and do what Father has called us to do, at whatever level He has called being mindful that our intents must be clearly seen through our actions.

After all, Father IS everything that we need or should want!

He is ‘I AM’

Amen

THE FIRST STEP

Luke chapter 15 relates the story of a son who took his portion of the inheritance, left home and ‘did his own thing’. He found ‘friends’ in his new surroundings, partied and basically did whatever he felt like doing. His money ran out, his ‘friends’ disappeared and he came upon some very hard times. He finally came to his senses realizing the error of his ways and decided to go back home and tell his father how sorry he was for having left hoping that his father would receive him back into the homestead, not as a son but at least as a servant. His father did more than that. Even though his son had squandered his inheritance dad threw a big party to welcome his son back home where he belonged. Once he was lost but now he's saved.

If we knew Jesus and walked away (for whatever the reason) Homecoming is about coming back into fellowship with the Creator of the universe and re-establishing a relationship with Him. Even if we never truly ever knew Jesus, Homecoming is learning how to fellowship with the everlasting God and securing our eternity by establishing that relationship with Him.

If we never truly ever knew Jesus, our first step is to do just that by giving Him our hearts and lives.

We have to recognize that we have not been not operating in God’s will and done things contrary to the operation of His love. God is love and everything He does or stands for is based in His true love.

When Adam & Eve disobeyed God and fell out of His fellowship by eating the ‘fruit of the knowledge of good and evil', God promised them that He would provide a way that man could come back into His (God’s) fellowship.

He re-enforced this with Abraham by using his son Isaac as an example and then reminding Israel through all the prophets of the coming Messiah.

Finally, the time was right and God found a righteous woman whom he would bless with the bringing of His Son into this world. Everything was just one big void so God had nothing to work with except His Word. So, in the beginning God spoke everything into existence. God spoke and the Holy Ghost put God’s Word into action creating everything that is. God then put His Word into Mary’s womb and as the bible says ‘she was with child of the Holy Ghost (Matt. chapter 2). The Greek word used for 'of' carries the connotation ‘about’ or ‘spontaneously happening’, like she wasn’t pregnant, now she is – boom! Jesus had to be born of this world (via Mary) so He could legitimately deliver us from the world but Jesus’ Father is God so even though He is born into this world, He is not bound by the ways of this world. We believe, as the bible says ‘Jesus is born of a virgin’ but He is the Son of God.

We believe that Jesus pleased the Father as He lived in this world for 30 years as He found favor with God and man.

The last 3 ½ years of His life (here on earth), Jesus spent teaching His disciples and those who would listen, the ways of God, the Father.

Then at the end of that 3 ½ year ministry, He was arrested by the Jewish leadership (yielded Himself to them), turned over to Pontius Pilate for crucifixion which Pilate, though reservedly, obliged the Jewish leaders and did so. Jesus (willingly) was crucified and died on the cross. My understanding is that at death, if the body is punctured, water mixed with blood will come out, confirming death. Spiritually, for us the shed blood is for the atonement of our sins and our sin nature and the water represents our cleansing. Jesus died on the cross taking my sins away (and yours) and was buried.

We believe that on the third day Jesus arose from the grave, alive and well and ministered to His disciples for another 40 days.

After which He ascended back into Heaven (from whence He came) and is preparing a place in eternity for all those who believe and He is coming back for us so we can be with Him throughout all eternity.

We believe this with all our hearts, confess our sins (by speaking them out), repenting our part in doing those things against God’s will, with our voices speak out thanks for what Jesus has done for us and invite Him into our hearts and lives determining to live our lives for Him from now on.

When we pray the ‘sinner’s prayer, don’t mince with a formula of words but rather cover the points and mean it:

Jesus is God, Messiah, Savior

He shed His blood cleansing us of our sin nature and all those individual sins we have ever committed

We need to confess those sins (speak them out loud to God) and repent of those sins (be truly sorry we committed them)

He died on the cross then rose from the dead on the third day giving us access to the Father through His actions

Determine (dedicate our lives) to live for Him by keeping His commandment which is learning about and living in His love.

He will come back for us so we can be with Him throughout all eternity.

If we have known Jesus but have ‘slid away’

Repent of and confess our sins (as with the prodigal son)

Receive God’s forgiveness. Isaiah tells us once we’ve repented God puts those sins behind His back. Should we do any less?

Determine (make the decision) to live for Him by keeping His commandment which is learning about and living in His love.

Once we've taken this first step, that is to connect or reconnect with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, then hold on because everything we experience from that point on is an experience in growth in our life. Everything becomes a stepping stone in our life to help us to grow closer to and and stronger in our relationship with God that we may magnify and glorify His Holy Name in all that we say and do and impact the lives of those around us.

A long time ago Father shared with me that I (we) can walk as close to Him as we dare. It is our choice. How close do we dare?

When the time is come, may we all re-unite in God’s wondrous kingdom.
