Habakkuk 2:16 The cup of wine in the Lord’s right hand is coming to you, and disgrace will replace your majestic glory!
Replace is a scary word. When someone replaces you at work, you usually are unemployed. Also, to me, it seems that replacing something often refers trading down for less. For example, people seek pets to replace loved ones. To fill a void. Not as good as the original. Something to take the place of the original. That is what I think of when I think of the word ‘replace’.
Replacing isn’t always bad. It’s good to replace your car when it has 500,000 miles on it and breaks down all the time. It’s good to replace the motor oil when it’s time. It is not good to replace a car as soon as it looses it’s ‘new car smell’ as some people do, keeping themselves perpetually car poor.
People like to buy new stuff to replace their old stuff. I think it fulfills a psychological need. My daughter calls it ‘shopping therapy’. That is not good. Many times we do it to keep busy because we have no peace in ourselves. We don´t like to be alone. Many people, sadly, can not stand the ‘noise’ of being alone with themselves. The quiet can be deafening to a person who is not at peace. We can’t replace ourselves. We are stuck with ourselves the rest of our lives. We need to make peace with ourselves. You can do that with a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. He is irreplaceable!
We can all be replaced. The question is, will our replacement be a better fit than we are? God knows us and created us to be used exactly where we are. He knows best. God has no intention of replacing you with something inferior. Go forward, with confidence! You are anointed by God to be right where you are, doing what you do. No one is a better you than you!
I am writing about the word replace because of a message I heard recently.
*Tradition replaces truth. Rituals replace results, and explanations replace experiences*
This is so true. Any mainline denominational church exhibits all of the above. Look at some Christmas traditions for example making trivial the Truth of God the Creator, stripping Himself of His divinity, to live among us for 33 years.
Replacements aren’t as good as the original. Part 2 of a good movie or book is always a let down. Turkey meat instead of pork bacon and sirloin hamburger. Vegan cheese instead of velveeta! The horror, the horror! Replacements are usually just cheap, flavorless substitutions.
I just experienced the new ‘norm’ in the states! First time I’ve been back in two years!! What a disappointment! The old ‘norm’ has been replaced for a new one. Definitely not as good as the original. Talk about a cheap, flavorless substitute.
Don’t be quick to replace jobs, locations, friends or loved ones. Stick with them as long as you can. God has them in your life for a reason. Stick with them, without compromising your faith, as long as the Lord lets you. When you get saved, you will loose most of your friends and relations as you follow Jesus anyway. And the harder you follow after Him, the more you’ll loose. Just don’t rush things.
As I have previously stated, the act alone of replacing things isn’t always bad. Replacing batteries is needed. Replacing energy that you burn is important. Replacing old shoes is healthy for you. Replacing bad habits with good habits is fantastic. But most of all, replacing a born again soul with your lost soul in you is the most important. When you do that, God will replace;
-your tears for joy Psalm 126:5
AND
-your old man with your new man Eph 4:22

CHRISTMAS PRESENTS THIS YEAR! SINCE WE ARE ON OUR OWN FOR CHRISTMAS PRESENTS, GOD HAS AGAIN PROVIDED FOR 1,175 CHRISTMAS PRESENTS THROUGH NICA SOURCE (NICARAGUAN NEAR SHORE IT COMPANIES). THANK YOU JESUS! WHAT KIND OF CHRISTIAN CHILDREN MISSION DOESN’T GIVE CHRISTMAS PRESENTS TO CHILDREN AT CHRISTMAS TIME? MERRY CHRISTMAS!
1. Our new room, and warehouse expnasion is almost completed, God is good! Needing to install the AC and we are finished. We had some issues but we should be done in two weeks.
2. The home back up power plant is a few days from arriving. Thank you, we desperately need it! They say it should be installed next week.
3. Our summer break-change of school year is here. We have a lot of broken stuff, painting that needs to be done, light construction repairs. We spent the rainy season fixing other homes, but ours has fallen in dissarry. Praise God that we have the time to get to it without a bunch of school kids running around. Thank you for your help.
4. English class, Daily Bible studies, school and feeding centers are all going well. Graduation ceremonies for the school are this week.
Pureheart Update – All is well, finishing up the new room and warehouse. We are painting, repairing the school´s classrooms, bathrooms, (lots of plumbling and electrical stuff going on) and we are improving our school’s computer abilities.
PRAYER REQUESTS
1. For Souls and Fruit.
2. FOR HEALING OF LOVED ONES WITH EVERYTHING FROM CANCER TO MENTAL ILLNESS.
3. FOR HOME VISITATIONS TO PRODUCE RESULTS, FOR VISITORS TO OUR HOME TO GET SAVED. FOR THE FAMILIES AND PARENTS OF ALL THE PUREHEART WORKERS TO GET SAVED.
4. FOR OUR 2 FEEDING CENTERS AND THE TWO OTHER FEEDING CENTERS THAT WE HELP. FOR OUR SISTER FEEDING CENTER IN ISLAMBAD PAKISTAN.
5. AS WE ARE HELPING OTHERS WITH EMERGENCY CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS *THIS CONTINUOUS RAINY SEASON DESTROYS THE SHACKS THAT MANY OF OUR PEOPLE LIVE IN*. THAT WE BE THE LIGHT AND PEACE OF JESUS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STORM.
7. GOVERNMENTAL PAPERWORK, I CALL IT ´DEATH BY 1000 PAPERCUTS’. IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT, FRUSTRATING, AND EXPENSIVE. AMONG OF WHICH IS FOR PERMISSION TO HAVE AN ORPHANAGE-OLDFOLKS HOME ON A SUSTAINABLE GREEN FARM IN THE MANAGUA CITY LIMITS. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME IN TEN YEARS THAT WE HAVE HAD TO START AGAIN FROM SCRATCH EVERYTHING FROM ALL THE ACCOUNTING, BOOKS, AND PERMISSIONS FOR THE ORPHANAGE. EVEN FORECED INTO REINCORPORATING DOWN HERE. IT GETS TOUGHER EVERY TIME, BUT WE AREN´T GOING ANYWHERE. THE LEGAL AND CPA PAPERWORK AND ACCOUNTABILITY IS ESPECICALLY TOUGH.
8. THE DELAY IS OK, BECAUSE WE ARE STILL WAITING ON THE LORD TO PROVIDE THE MONEY AND THE PERFECT RESOURCES FOR ALL THE FULL TIME STAFF, DOCTOR, NURSE, AIDES ETC THAT COME WITH A FARM THAT HAS ROOM FOR AN ORPHANAGE AND AN OLD FOLKS HOME ON IT, AS WELL AS THE PROPERTY ITSELF. EVEN WITH JUST AN ORPHANAGE HERE, OUR STAFF WILL ALMOST HAVE TO DOUBLE IN SIZE PER NICARAGUAN REGULATIONS
9. FOR OUR OWN CHILDREN`S SPIRITUAL GROWTH AND SAFETY WHILE STUDYING IN THE STATES.
10. AGAIN, THE GOVERNMENTAL PAPERWORK IS HORRENDOUS, AND GETTING MORE DIFFICULT AND EXPENSIVE EVERY DAY.
11. Looking to buy (or get donated) a large tract of land to put the orphanage and old folks home on.
