Before a good cup a Joe

September 20, 2018 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

Me – getting up another day, praying…


I don’t do frenetic.  I don’t do worry.  I don’t let it in.  I don’t start my day all out of kilter, out of whack. I refuse to stumble into my day.

In the morning when my mind wakes up, before I get up, that’s the time I start my attitude.  Before a good cup ‘a Joe, I pray.  I think a few thoughts – to my Father God.  Not a long prayer, not a lot of words (It’s 5am!) – just a few to set my mind on High.


Set your mind
I “set my mind”: Colossians 3:2; Colossians 3:15; 1 Peter 1:15; Mark 8:33; Romans 6:13:

Colossians 3:2
Set your mind and keep focused habitually on the things above [the heavenly things], not on things that are on the earth [which have only temporal value].

Colossians 3:15
Let the peace of Christ [the inner calm of one who walks daily with Him] be the controlling factor in your hearts [deciding and settling questions that arise]. To this peace indeed you were called as members in one body [of believers]. And be thankful [to God always].

1 Peter 1:15
But like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves in all your conduct [be set apart from the world by your godly character and moral courage];

Mark 8:33
…He rebuked Peter, saying, “Get behind Me, Satan; for your mind is not set on God’s will or His values and purposes, but on what pleases man.”

Romans 6:13
Do not go on offering members of your body to sin as instruments of wickedness. But offer yourselves to God [in a decisive act] as those alive [raised] from the dead [to a new life], and your members [all of your abilities—sanctified, set apart] as instruments of righteousness [yielded] to God.


I start most every day something like this:  I get on up and get on High.  I’m lifted up.  I start my day with God in prayer – just me and God in the cavern of my head.  Creator God is everywhere.  Nowhere that He’s not.  And He’s in my head.  He knows my thoughts.  My thoughts, an open gateway to my soul, for God.

I think my thoughts to Him “in prayer”.  No one hears me, but God Himself.  He even knows what I’m about to say.  Oh mysterious, sacred God that lives inside my eternal soul.  (John 14:17; John 16:7) I know, ’cause that is what He tells us in His Word.

WHY I CAN PRAY WITH CONFIDENCE

I know He’s there.  He’s here, inside my soul.  And He’s on my throne for me, directing my willful soul.  He’s promised never to leave me nor forsake me, never leave me alone.  I’m a lion, freshly dripping from the waters, renewed this morning in His cleansing streams of life, confident in this Holy Holy Righteous Creator of all that is.  THAT’s Him.

That’s why I’m not a prairie dog slinking in the shadows through my hours and my days.  My inner man’s a lion, and I stand strong in the power of my Holy Spirit God inside me – always, ever inside me.  Never leaves me.

The one and only Savior Mediator “between God and man”, Jesus, has given me the right to be called His child.

1 Timothy 2:5
For there is [only] one God,
and [only] one Mediator
between God and mankind,Romans 9:8,Ephesians 5:6,Colossians 3:6
the Man Christ Jesus


  1. Those now His Children:  John 1:12; Galatians 3:26; 1 John 3:1; Romans 8:17; Romans 8:16; Romans 9:26;  and
  2. Those not His Children: Romans 9:8; Ephesians 5:6; Colossians 3:6.

John 1:12
But as many as received Him,
to them He gave
the right
to become children of God,
even to those who believe in His name

His Courts declare me: born again.  Set free.  No longer condemned to Hell – because I’ve been redeemed.

This world is not my home!  That is why…

I live with confidence
I am not afraid of death
I cast aside fear.  God is my refuge and strength
I do not allow sin to reign over me
I have exceedingly vibrant joy in my inner soul
Although I am not perfect, I have, growing in me… “love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control”
I converse with my Savior all throughout my day
I make it my aim to do everything I do – with all my might, and – for the glory of God
-Source: Never Again (May 13, 2018)

We all are born into sin, the Bible says.  And… we sin and sin and sin….  But even born again – we sin.

Salvation is not so much about your sins.  After all – He’s got the vile, filthy sins of ALL THE WORLD covered by the blood bled at Calvary!  So your sins are not the problem.  The problem is your heart.  Salvation involves a heart reset.  “Whosoever wills – may come” and receive that covering, that forgiveness, because it has been offered to all.

When we bow our will in sincerity and truth, repent of our sinfulness and acknowledge Jesus as the Man, the man-God, then He saves us.  God requires that we come to Him honestly, and then follow Him.

There are no shortcuts, no quick easy sinners prayer and then be on “your way” as before, no easy-believism.  You have not been granted entrance into His Kingdom if you are not following Him. Accepting Him “as Savior and Lord”, and then living contrary to what He Himself believes… is not “following Jesus”.  That’s not a sincere faith.

That would be “faith without works”, fake faith, and that is ineffectual within Creator God’s system of justice.

James 2:20
But are you willing to recognize,
you foolish [spiritually shallow] person,
that faith without [good] works
is useless?

Salvation is all about the penalty of sin, and what God requires of us to be made free of the penalty.  It’s not about how much you’ve sinned, or how much you sin after salvation.  God requires sincerity and truth.

The faker, false inside his soul, was never born again and has yet to yield the knee.  Still lost and broken, the faker “christian” is a hollow suit, not who he claims to be.  His issue is not “sin” or “sins”.  The issue for all who birthed from a womb, is: yielding your will to God with sincerity and truth. (See both: Galatians 6:7-8; 1 Corinthians 5:8)

God wants all of me, not some fraction.  And fakers fake, giving fractions.  At least the transparent Godless sinner is honest about being a sinner!  The faker is, well, the biggest loser in the end… because he/she “thought” they were just fine.

No fractions, pieces, parts of you:

Luke 10:27
And he answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.”

Deuteronomy 13:3
you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams; for the Lord your God is testing you to find out if you love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

Deuteronomy 6:5    (Also: Joshua 22:5)
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.

BEING HIS, SINCERELY AND HONESTLY.
I am who I say I am.  I’m no two-faced sham imposter.  I’m the real thing in Christ.  And I “keep short accounts” with God, confessing my sins regularly:  When I trip and fall, when I fail, I do not “stay in my sin” and wallow, or else… “the Lord will not hear” my prayers.  Psalm 66:18  “If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me.”

2 Peter 2:22
It has happened to them according to the true proverb, “A dog returns to its own vomit,” and, “A sow, after washing, returns to wallowing in the mire.”

I constantly renew my strength, to fly like an eagle, so my relationship with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ does not stagnate with my struggles to be more righteous.  So I know He listens to me and answers my prayer.

Isaiah 40:31
But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.


I came to Him in sincerity and truth
and was saved by God.
That saved me.
But I know it did not make me perfect.  Ask my wife!
Maturity is a long, long, little-by-little,
painful procedure!
And now, still, by His un-breakable grace
He has me covered for my sins each day,
and tomorrow, if I fail again.
He has promised to keep me His unto that Day
— that sweet, sweet day in which,
in a flash – I’ll enter His Gates of Heaven.

Philippians 1:6
I am convinced and confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will [continue to] perfect and complete it until the day of Christ Jesus [the time of His return].

Since that moment in time in which I was born again, I have sinned, and sinned.  I sin these days too.  I do.  I do.  I do.  But I am His true child.  And He promises that I will not lose that sonship He gave me.  Same for you, if you come to Him in repentance with sincerity and truth.  That is the biblical basis of my confidence to pray.

John 8:51    Amplified Bible (AMP)
51 I assure you and most solemnly say to you, if anyone keeps My word [by living in accordance with My message] he will indeed never, ever see and experience [I.e. spiritual death and separation from God] death.”

Father God does more than Joe the father.  He does not throw me under the bus, off the train, “out”, or leave me when I sin.  I am His forever now, and He will never leave me some other day later, ever.  That is because it is He who has saved me, not me myself.

2 Corinthians 3:5
Not that we are sufficiently qualified in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency and qualifications come from God.

I was never saved by any merit of mine, any works of mine, nor because I now cling to Him tightly so as to not fall from grace into The Fire.  It is He who grasps me firmly by His Almighty Hand of Grace.  No small God, our Father!  His grace is sufficient to cover forever – the sincerely repentant heart.

My salvation does not depend on
my efforts to do good works.
The everlasting salvation in Christ
is totally His to deliver on.  Not me.
He saved me.  Not me by any good I have done.
And THAT makes all the difference in the universe!
He holds me in His Hands.
And His grip never wavers,
never slacks,
never sleeps,
never lets me go.

Born from my mother, I was created a feral thing.  Not a “child of God”, but part of His Creation.  Special, yes: “created after His own image.” But I was born separated from God because I was born as sinful flesh.  I was only human after all – born guilty and condemned, and doomed to step from earth to hell in a flash some day.

Since I am now His child, He is now my Father, and Father God never ever gets angry with His children.  He’s not like me.  He is God – Father God, “Abba Father”.  He now disciplines me in love (Hebrews 12:1-17).

He draws His children closer to Himself through loving discipline, not in wrath, not with shaming, and surely not by a recall!  He never has to change His mind about having saved you.  You were chosen in Him before the foundation of the world! (Ephesians 1:4)

Galatians 3:26
For ye are all the children of God
by faith in Christ Jesus.

I’m not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ.  It showed me how to come to God.  His Word shows me how to live for Him.  “Oh my God, Jesus – how great and good You are.”

And so I start each day on High – on purpose, with an attitude set towards God, “set on God’s will… His values and purposes”, careful to not be set “on what pleases man” (from Mark 8:33).

Bentley – News on Todd Bentley

The charismatic movement has been troubled by unbiblical practices and teachings. I am amazed at how folks are so easily mislead. “Many have exchanged the truth for a lie and chosen experience over content.” Look and examine and see, and compare with what the Bible teaches.

False Prophets

“You may be asking yourselves, “How can we tell if a prophet’s message really comes from the Lord?”” -Deuteronomy 18:21. How can we distinguish the true from the false?

No Faith In Heaven

Faith will not be necessary in heaven. Faith and hope will be ¨done away¨with (1 Corinthians 13:v8). When we finally are brought into His Kingdom, instead of on this earth with His Holy Spirit, then we will have Him, not just merely faith and hope.

Christian Answers Regarding Islam

Muhammad, or Jesus the Messiah? Which is the One sent by Father God? We’ve got to get this right, or else miss the true Savior of sinners. Read more here….

Biblical Homosexuality

What is a Christian’s biblical perspective on homosexuality? Have you examined the Bible closely? ANY sin is not acceptable in God’s Holy Kingdom.  Ready to go there?

Letter to Danny

We are continually bombarded by the fiery darts of the Evil One.  And when these little pricks hit us, we need to put-out the flames, quickly. Doubts, depression, feelings of inadequacy, troubles, unruly kids…, when they come at us, we “have to declare” the truths of God, and  we have to choose Truth over lies. 

Children’s Bible in a Nutshell

A quick overview of the Bible (tongue-in-cheek). A child was told to write a book report on the entire Bible. 

About Biblical Inerrancy

Would God give us erroneous documents and call them “His”? Dumb idea! God brought everything together to form the Bible. Evidence is overpowering as you read what the Bible is, and what it tells us. “It is the history of the Bible that makes it unique among ‘sacred texts.’ See who wrote the Bible, how its reportive style is backed by archeology and historians…” – Quote from “Why You Can Believe the Bible” (www.everystudent.com).

Oh what a day that will be!
Wow! To enter into the Kingdom of God - freely as His redeemed child. No cringing in shame, no burden of sinfulness before Almighty Holy God. I can only imagine.

Jesus, the second man, is the Lord from Heaven
"The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.” In 1 Corinthians 15:47 the Apostle Paul explained that Jesus, while on earth, was absolutely God-man.  He was not a mere man, ever.

There Is Only One God
Getting tired of people flippantly saying, ¨Oh my god!¨ Ever wonder who their ¨god¨ is!? Does that ¨god¨ know he is ¨theirs¨? Do you say that? We are quite the god-makers, are we not! What do you mean…“your God”?

God Is Not Distant
God is not some far away, distant-from-you, dis-concerned bubble of energy, inside some aura of mist on a mysterious planet far far away…. “And the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore” –Psalm 121:8

When it comes to God, who wants mere opinions?
When talking “God” and “Truth” – I really do not care what you think. You should not care what I think. What matters is “what God thinks”.
Lost I Came To Him
Oh the wonder of that love of our fathomless Creator, to save me in spite of my self-centered soul. Lost and rebellious, He chose me. Pursued and wooed, what mystery – grace. I said yes to Creator God. To know…
Time as it really is
Since Heaven is not regulated by time, the passage of time on earth is a separate event. *We will all step out of time together – into God’s presence, with no “time lag”,…The time it takes to go from earth to God's presence - is instant. There is no waiting around in the next dimension for earth time to finish, no midway point of gathering, no Purgatory. It will be an instantaneous experience for all mankind that ever lived. At the moment of death, our soul instantly leaves....

No Tolerance for Error
God is not sloppy nor wishy-washy.... There is no room at all – for error – when it comes to being right with God. You are either all in, or you are all out. Are you sure you’re in?
Simple View of Life
A simple view of everything. God of Everything that is – created everything. We are very fortunate that He is loving and kind, and really, really wants us.
Ashamed of Yourself?
Ever done something you are ashamed of?  Come on now, you’re sitting there by yourself – ‘fess-up.  Nobody listenin’ to your brain confess.  So... Yes?  Scenario: “You have? What!?
  Being Christian What's it like these days to be a Christian? Really a Christian. For many, what the Bible teaches is generally okay, but, when it comes to certain specificities, what it says, they reason, needs to be interpreted in the light of today's enlightened realities. But -- will that work in - The End - when we stand before Him, physically? Stop and think about that Day.
Tomorrow
Tomorrow is the fool’s day. Tomorrow may never come. I may not get older. This may be it. 3.18.2017
Vortex of Good & Evil As mere humans, we are engulfed in the vortex of battle between good and evil. We must remember – it is God who created us, not we ourselves.
What God has going on with us here on this planet
God downloaded to earth ...inserted Himself into our history.  Jesus came to earth in order to satisfy the Courts of Heaven for our freedom.

Cognitive Dissonance
...that extreme feeling of discomfort some folks get when their core belief is challenged or contradicted. What they think (“cognitive”) is rattled (dissonance) by what other evidences purport to be true – in direct conflict with what they hold to be “true”.
Actually Try To Do The Deed “It’s not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done better."

What God Did for Man
…The Simple Gospel of Jesus Christ. God walked the earth as a man. Have you ever wondered how it all got started – the universe, the earth, nature, animals, you and your “like”, mankind?
The Bible is “able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation”
Do you honestly want to know how to get right with God?  Jesus promised He would save us for an eternity of only good, nothing bad.

  • Vile To Jesus (8,087)
    God allows us total freedom to do whatever the hell we want.  We love to be freeeeee!  That tends to give us such a sense of "yippeeee!" that, as a consequence... our life can kind of get out of control.In the grip of our "yippeeee" lifestyle, we forget God and His ways.  It's just too […]
  • Ashamed of Yourself? (2,887)
    Have you ever done something you are ashamed of? God does not overlook and excuse sin (Romans 1: verse 18).  Never has.  Never will.  However, Jesus dealt with the sins of others in a much more merciful manner than we tend to do with our self and our sins - and the sins of others. […]
  • The Passion Translation (TPT) and why not to use it (2,748)
    The translation done by Brian Simmons, called The Passion (TPT), is not a faithful translation of the original.  It is very much fraught with misleading words Simmons adds into the text (..."it is at least 50% longer than the original").  Good Christians should want to go to more accurate translations, and not ever use this deviant […]
  • Befuddled and Besmirched (1,079)
    Is your "happy" gone? What's your problem?  We all have sin we should be working on.  But we do not have to continue in our sin, vile to Jesus.  I try to practice admitting I was wrong. We can turn to God in prayer, confess it all, repent of it all....
  • Getting Born Again (1,069)
    Jesus said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” In God's legal system, all of mankind is condemned to hell because we are naturally unable to be holy ["holy" = without sin].  He cannot have sin in His Kingdom.  Makes sense: He is holy!  […]
  • That Day of Judgement (1,063)
    References to ¨that day¨ - That Day of Judgement at the end of the age.
  • That Moment In Time (989)
    There is a certain moment in time when everything changes, when a mere human is transformed by God into a completely different type of human. That moment changes everything for that person. Nothing is the same anymore. A new creature has been born – really and truly “born again” into new life in Christ. This […]
  • Jesus Knows Your Thoughts (987)
    God is able to see into the innermost parts of your heart.  He knows what you feel.  He knows what you want.  He knows your thoughts.  Even before you speak a word -- He knows what you are going to say! God hears me as I speak to him silently in my mind - in […]
  • The Confuscating John Pavlovitz (876)
    This post is a warning to the Church against false teachers. In this day of instant communication, rarely deeply thought through, we need to be careful who we listen to. We need to be warned about these wolves in sheep's clothing.Jesus named names. The Apostle Paul named names. False teachers spout a lot of their […]
  • Inexplicable Joy (871)
    Heaven is a joyful place. That is hard for me to imagine... Everywhere I look around me, I see so many problems, issues and unresolved conflicts. But in heaven, they won't exist anymore. There will only be joy because my sins have been paid for by the blood of Jesus Christ.  One of the main […]
  • Saving Knowledge (866)
    There is a saving knowledge of Christ, and there is a false knowledge about Christ.  One connects you to God and saves you.  The other does not lead to Creator God.  Do you know the difference? 
  • Following (843)
    Where' you going?  Are you truly "following" Christ? This is what it means to be "a follower" of the real Jesus Christ...
  • My Heinous Heinous Ways (779)
    There is a tendency to think that - because I have sinned, therefore God does not like me, doesn't want me, and, boy is He miffed at me!  But that is not what the Bible teaches.  That is not what Jesus practiced.  So why are folks so condemning of people who fail!? At this time […]
  • Signs of an unrepentant heart (763)
    The unrepentant heart makes excuses for sin (vile things before God).  What do I  support - that is "not of God"? ...in my personal practices, in my politics, in my relationships, in my mind and heart?  We rationalize so well, we fool ourselves! What does your life "evidence"?
  • Examples of false doctrines (753)
    Examples of false doctrines to stay away from.
  • Me, When I Die, still in sin (723)
    What difference does it make - who I am when I die? An eternal difference!
  • God’s System of Justice (694)
    Let’s look at the real God and His very real system of justice. Let’s look at this from within what His book tells us. These are the parts of God’s system:
  • I would rather stand with God and be judged by the world. Yes! (689)
    I really liked this comment by Robert Burns - a good little twist of words on   J.D. Farag's  YouTube: What the future holds: (Read comments at end of this article.  I have copied some to the FOR MORE section below.) robert burns 1 month ago: I would rather stand with God and be judged […]
  • Practicing Sin, Not Following Christ (685)
    Are you practicing sin?  Is there sin you constantly practice?  Have you grown accustomed to accepting ["your" sin] as okay with God?   Are you okay with the practices of your life? Scripture teaches us very clearly what is obviously ...NOT following Christ.  In fact, we are warned that "that those who practice such things will […]
  • Me, When I Die, Forgiven (669)
    Do you know what will stand in the Court of God in His Holy Kingdom? What will not? God shows us in the Bible - what's what. What we think, well, how can that count for much in His infinite knowledge?
  • Brand New Creature (647)
    Have you grasped the reality of becoming a brand new creature when Jesus saved you?
  • God Damned “Believers” (627)
    Almighty God has provided a very specific justice system to clear our name and our well-deserved verdict of "Guilty".  He has deemed that through a genuine faith in Jesus Christ - the sacrifice of His Son can make us worthy.  Is your faith genuinely in the genuine Jesus? Have you been declared "worthy", or are […]
  • Why Believe Such Stupididiotic Things?! (618)
    People around you say all kinds of stupididiotic things about God. Have you put your faith in THAT?
  • Windows Into Heaven (613)
    Jesus taught that there is a physical place called “heaven”, or “paradise”. It is actually way beyond what we know as “physical”. Imagine heaven. See it from Bible "windows", the perspective of what He told us Heaven is…
  • Jesus Returns to Earth Twice in the End Times (586)
    The Bible records that the first time Jesus came to earth - in the name of "Jesus" - was when He was born as a baby, Jesus of Nazareth.  And there are two other days, coming soon, when Jesus will return -- again.
