I agree with this 100%, but we must have the faith to believe all not only a part of what we ask for, ask and you shall receive, if you ask not you receive not, I like this blog keep up the goood work
Mark. As soon as I realized what I had done, I came back later to delete it. I guess I am somewhat codependent; when I see someone who is hurting, I try and help instead of beating them over the head with God's Word. Andrea was obviously hurting a...
WOW. Many Scriptures. It's downright fun exploring and studying God's Word huh. I love it.Are there any doubts about the footprints in the sand and walking with God?
great food for the soul, may our heavenly father continue to use you to enlighten his children, and may you continue to be shower with his many blessings according to his will.
We are not alone.OUR LORD walks with us
I agree Andrea. Been there. Read my blog below. I think the brothers and sisters mean well. Some just speak from their healing and some are not there yet as far as their own healing is concerned.
It's rough being a Christian sometimes because I k...
"...until we can stand in God’s presence, for no other reason than we love Him and not His protection, we’ll take another lap around the mountain."
And I know that running laps gets us little more than exercise. You're right Jim: "It’s all about ...
Hi James
I posted some Scriptures to further your comment. God is so good. I too have a heart for God to please Him in every way I can. God Bless You James, and Just know if it is little or small God Loves it. All he wants from His Children is Obe...
God orders our steps and no man can shut a door that God has opened. Sometimes it could go the other way though because He knows that it might be bad for you. It took me a while to figure that out because I would pray for something and it wouldn't...
Praise and worship is the door to God's heart. Thanks is a showing of faith. When I worship God, I can get lost easily. When you worship and praise God, things happen, healing, deliverance, salvation's, and supernatural occurrences of all kinds. I...
This blog touched my heart because my dad passed just two years ago. It doesn't seem possible. I am so glad that you had a great relationship with your dad. You'd be surprised how many people project the relationship with their Earthly dad to God ...
Thanks James for this powerful super word, it is so true and I agree with you, we need to keep an attitude of praise at all times, seek God face and not His hands, love and honor Him for Who He is, just because of Who He is. I absolutely love this...
Thank you so much for sharing this with me because it makes my day. God bless you abundantly always in everything. Praise the Lord. Haleluja!!! Christy Gabriel
God bless you my brother. You are a tremendous man of God and I pray thousands of salvation's as you preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ our Lord.
I heard a quote a while back and thought it to be profound. He said, “He must be everything to you or He is nothing to you."
I got to thinking about my own life. I love God with all my heart and I know He loves me with all of His. I have always w...
I offer this 3 page blog for your info. It is not all inclusive but should shed some light on divorce and Scripture. If you are in the throws of divorce, do WHATEVER you can to reconcile. As the spiritual leader of the home, this is mainly directe...
What a blessing to be with your kids eh! That's it's all about - the kids. I love reminiscing about when the kids were growing up. Thanks for the blog
What an excellent and comprehensive post Jim, as always! And an excellent addition from Pamela too!

THE FINAL CUP by James Lindquist
Seven seasons in our relationships
The image used for the front cover is that of the Upper Room, where Jesus had His Last Supper with His Disciples and drank of the first cup of communion with them.
But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in My Fathers kingdom.
Matthew 26:29
With 26-27% of Christian marriages ending in divorce, if ever there was a time for marital help, now is the time. The Final Cup leans toward marriage, but people contemplating the bonds of matrimony or even a simple relationship should find this book helpful. With constant attacks perpetrated by the enemy against the family, especially in these days, the stability of this country, even the world, is threatened.
All truth is parallel. For every natural truth, there is a corresponding and parallel spiritual truth. If we are to grow in both, we must learn where we are in both. The Lord gave Jim seven words and showed him that we all have seasons in our relationships. So follow along and study with him through these parallels and through the seasons in our relationships that the Lord imparted to him one Sunday afternoon.
Since then I have just about finished my Journeyman's level of writing school (CWG - Christian Writers Guild). I am in the process of rewriting The final Cup now. When I finish I will let you know and upload the new version. The basic premise in the old version is still in tact, however, but there are some grammatical errors in it. So if you're a school teacher, I apologize. But, the price is right.
In my rewrite, I plan on removing much material and will make the theme more focused and specific with no tangents. (That's hard for me. LOL.) I also plan on fixing all the grammatical errors for my teacher friends. (LOL.)
God bless you all. I pray that The Final Cup helps you in your relationship(s).

I heard a quote a while back and thought it to be profound. He said, “He must be everything to you or He is nothing to you."
I got to thinking about my own life. I love God with all my heart and I know He loves me with all of His. I have always wanted to do something for God to further His kingdom. Therefore, when He gave me a writing mandate, I was elated.
I wanted to do the best I could for Him and so I dove into that job with everything I had, but the… Continue

Seeking God Through Daily Prayer
In chapter four I shared with you an encounter I had in my front room with the Lord while praying. I was recently divorced and felt that God knew that I needed some validation, comfort, and love. However, I believe that there was a second reason why He allowed the experience.
I had committed to pray with Him for one hour each morning.
At the time, I'd forgotten about what Jesus said to His disciples in the Garden o… Continue

SEEKING GOD’S WILL: Hearing God
When I first sat down to write Seeking God’s Will, before I had even committed one word to paper, God gave me a vision. I was on this side of a large gully and a man was standing on the other side. I could faintly hear his mumbling echo, but I couldn’t understand a word he was saying.
I thought, Lord, what is this? What does this mean? I heard in my spirit, “If you w… Continue

The footsteps behind him were unrelenting and he was running as fast as he could.

Mere exhaustion would soon force him to stop and face his stalker no matter what the outcome. His heart raced and thre… Continue

SEEKING GOD’S PURPOSE: Treasure Hunters
The sky was a little overcast as he walked down the road, a road that was more like a small path winding itself through the countryside. At least he had a heavy tunic that shielded him from the evening air. As long as he made it to Jericho before the Sabbath [1], he’d be alright, for this wasn’t the safest stretch of road in the land.

SEEKING GOD’S HEART: The Courtship of God
The evening was a typically beautiful and peaceful night. A small breeze was blowing and seemed to be following a previous gust that had already passed through. David sat leaning against a tree trunk playing his harp and singing psalms to God and to his father’s sleeping sheep. His eyelids were getting a little heavy in the tranquility of the moment and he could probably drift off himself if not for the fact that the sheep were… Continue

SEEKING GOD'S FACE: The Characteristics of God
My divorce was an extremely hard time in my life and if I ever needed God, it was then. At that time I was living in a one-bedroom apartment and I’d just made a new commitment to pray with God for one hour each day. Therefore, at 4:00 AM, I crawled out of bed, got dressed, and went to the front room to fellowship with the Lord.
I was praying the Lord’s Prayer and had just hallowed His name. I stood there waiting on His re… Continue

SEEKING GOD'S HANDS:God's Provision
Not long ago, I went to the beach for some much-needed R&R. I checked into the Proposal Rock Inn at Neskowin, Oregon, unpacked, and immediately headed for the wet hard sand.
I stood there in awe and overlooked the ocean as the tide slowly but surely encroached on the land, devouring it inch by inch only to recede leaving the shoreline looking as though there was never an invasion of water.

Face to Face with God
I was divorced and living in a one-bedroom apartment, feeling confused and alone. It was a hard time in my life but I had always loved the Lord and been very close to Him. I needed Him now more than ever.
On this particular morning the alarm had just zapped me with its wake-up call so I needed to get up and ready for work. I didn’t normally get up at 4:00AM but I had recently made a new commitment to pray with God for one hour each day. I crawled out of bed, got dressed, and went to the front r… Continue

- Writing for my Lord. I believe He called me to do so. I believe we can find the will of God for our lives in our passions.
- My story with God
- I am a sixty-six year old single Christian man and have loved the Lord most all of my life and although I fell away for a spell, I feel I am back on track. I give all the praise and glory to the One Who saved me, Jesus Christ.
I have seen and learned a lot of things during this time on earth, some of which, I still even remember. This is what I hope to accomplish in this community: to pass on those things that I have seen, learned, and remember - only in a spiritual and biblical context through my blog.
I believe that the Lord called me to write and to that end, I have published a nonfiction book titled, The Final Cup. Its theme is horizontal and vertical relationships with emphasis on Christ.
I am in the process of a second draft on my second nonfiction book, The Rose of Sharon. It has the same theme but the emphasis is on the Bride of Christ.
I plan to also rewrite my first book after completing my studies at Christian Writers Guild out of Colorado. I am just about through with my Journeyman level of teaching. Jerry Jenkins is the owner and President of CWG. Fantastic school and staff.
I pray that some of the things the Lord has shown me throughout the years, will, in some way, help my fellow brothers and sisters. With this in mind, I hope to post at least one blog a week every Monday in hopes that those postings will bless and help you in your daily lives.
Please feel free to comment and if this is content that interests you, I invite you to follow my weekly postings. God bless you all and thanks for visiting me here at my little corner of the Web.
I Thank you Lord for caring enough about me to never leave me and to always love me although I am undeserving of that love.
God bless you all.
- Other stuff about me:
- I enjoy walking on the beach, building Websites (for fun), hiking, and researching different cultures and then traveling there - when possible, finances permitting. I love music and used to play in a band (many years ago).
