“Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.” Jesus’ words in Luke 12:27
Hardy are the flowers which come up from the snow… Hearty their spring greetings, saying winter’s soon to go.
Though their bulbs were asleep within the frozen ground, God awakened them to rise, and spread His peace and joy around!

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.

When something in your life seems impossible or when you may even hear
a thought which says it can’t be possible–that’s a thought that’s clouded with fear.
For what did Jesus say to encourage…in Mark chapter 9 and verse 23?
“If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes”–Yes! We can see…
How simple it is to say, “Thank you, Jesus. I know you’re turning things around.”
Keep using the Sword of the Spirit, so that any evil schemes which the devil tries to float will have to run aground.

“Finally my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
“Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.

“From prayer calls to praise reports…” by Gloria Robles is very encouraging. Scroll down to March 7, 2024 to find the entire, more detailed article. I’ve singled out only a few things in this post.
Excerpts:
Texas state prayer leader Donna Phillips shares some beautiful testimonies of how God is moving in Texas and answering prayers for our borders.
“I have been state leader for about a year now,” Donna says. “We ask God what we should be praying for, and He answers. One major issue is our borders. The Lord has told us to pray to ‘restore order to the border.’ We have seen miraculous answers recently.”
On Feb. 28, the Rev. Franklin Graham visited the border at Eagle Pass, Texas, as part of the ten-city God Loves You Frontera Tour. Graham sees this as an opportunity to share the gospel and to extend empathy to desperate people at the border. It also establishes hope for everyone overwhelmed by the border crisis. Graham wants to encourage us to pray hard for our borders, for Mexico, and for everyone affected in this national crisis.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has announced plans to build an 80-acre military base for the National Guard, with a capacity approaching 2,200 people, and with medical staff and chaplains available.
“This is a massive answer to what we have been praying for our border,” says Donna. “We have been praying against all the chaos. This facility offers them a stable place. It’s rent-free and close to the work. It’s also a place where we can see ministry taking place. We have been praying that the Rio Grande would be a baptismal place for migrants. With chaplains available, it’s closer to becoming a reality. We are praying that these migrants will meet God, and when they are sent back, they will bring Jesus and the gospel back to their countries. We pray that they will take the gospel back to their families, and rather than abandon them, they will care for them.”
Amen! Bring revival to Texas and to these migrants, Lord; may they become missionaries who bring Jesus to their nation.
Last week CBS News reported on a drug bust in Eagle Pass. U.S. Customs and Border Protection seized some 6.5 tons of methamphetamines. Valued at upwards of $117 million, this was the largest seizure at any port of entry. “This bust prevented an untold number of lives from being destroyed,” said Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent Mark Dawson. Isn’t this glorious and praiseworthy news? Now those drugs will not fall into the hands of people whose lives are threatened by their addiction or into the hands of our children. Thank You, Lord, for this victory at our border!
Major Crisis Averted
Along with praying for our borders, intercessors on the weekly calls have prayed for various things as led by the Lord. They have been praying faithfully for the elections, for state and spiritual leaders, and for an outpouring of the spirit of Elijah. Several intercessors shared that they were hearing from the Lord to pray for protection over our water supply, pipelines, power grids, and power plants. Last week the Texas panhandle saw one of the worst fires in history, the Smokehouse Creek fire. Two people have died, over 1 million acres have burned, and ranchers have lost cattle. This has been very hard to watch. The greatest threat was this fire’s proximity to the Pantex Plant, a nuclear-weapons facility located in the high plains of the panhandle. As a precaution, the plant was evacuated on Feb. 27. Prayer alerts were going out from Christians everywhere in Texas, and a miraculous thing happened almost overnight: It snowed. This slowed the fire down a bit and kept it from spreading. The Pantex Plant has since reopened. We are convinced that this was nothing short of God faithfully answering the prayers of His people.
I can’t start my day, Lord Jesus, without first turning to You. I need Your promised help to be able to see things through.
I need to know You’ll be walking with me, steadying me on my feet, to handle any challenges today that I might possibly meet.
Of course, I know Your assurances, as written to us in Your Word; but folding my hands in prayer to You reassures me that You’ve heard.
I’m relying on You for strength and peace and a faith that won’t retreat. On paths my feet will tread, may I “see” beside my own, Your sandaled feet.
P. A. Oltrogge

“In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.” 1 Peter 1:6, 7

(A poem on renewal of hope after experiencing loss or a setback to faith.)
You came through difficult days–at times you felt vulnerable and disappointed. But, remember, you’re a child of God, and you’re still very much anointed.
Philippians 4:13 says you can do all things you’re called to do. Just keep your eyes fixed on Jesus–that’s Hebrews 12:2.
God is totally for you–His Word has made it clear. Don’t let past adversities cause you to doubt or fear.
We don’t fight against flesh and blood, but it’s a spiritual battle we wage; holding fast to your confidence is vital–it’s not time to disengage.
“Onward Christian soldiers, marching as to war, with the cross of Jesus going on before.”
That’s an old familiar hymn sung down through the years; and you have carried on so bravely, though sometimes there were tears.
As you continue in God’s Word, it will be a lamp unto your feet, and a light unto your path, bringing fellowship that’s sweet.
In studying the Bible, you’ve come to understand, that all that is good is from the Father’s hand.
Jesus went about healing, showing the Father’s true heart. He commanded the waves to be calm and the winds to depart.
The Old Testament account of Joseph tells of much that he withstood; but from what was meant for evil, God brought forth only good.
So keep listening to the Holy Spirit and using God’s Word as you pray. It’s the trustworthy sword of our armor–don’t let the enemy have any other say.
Plead the blood of Jesus…for our well-being, He was scarred. Stay strong in your precious faith in His Word, knowing it will guard.
A beautiful chapter of promise is Psalm ninety-one. We can claim it at each daybreak and even when the day is done.
Surely, you’ve gone through a hard place; but you’ll find by remaining bold, and confident in the Lord, Jesus Christ, your faith will remain more precious than gold.
“In the world you have tribulation, but…I have overcome the world,” Jesus said. Stand firm in that truth and you will find that God has many good things still ahead.

Tulips will come…
We’ll be glad to see some.
By their presence, robins bring…
what is sometimes said of them–a sure sign of spring!
The winter winds will soon depart…
and lovely springtime will have its start.
After spring’s blossoming, come summer and fall…
With wisdom, God, our Creator, designed them all.

Though I don’t usually post comments received, recently someone, having come upon the Porch of the Lord blog, expressed appreciation regarding it, adding, “I wanted to step through the screen and sit on the porch, chat about the goodness of the Lord!”
I’d like to say thank you for the unique comment and to others for their comments/likes. The following posts have been previously shared but are being repeated today:
_________________________
It’s my hope that a visit to the Porch of the Lord may sometimes come to mind…if you’re in need of finding refreshment, the Lord’s peace, and words that are kind…

“Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? And not one of them is forgotten before God. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.” by Jesus in Luke 12:6-7
“As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.” by Jesus in John 15:9-12
“By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome. For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.” 1 John 5:2-4
‘“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, ‘Abba, Father.’” Romans 8:14-15
Today, if you feel alone with some worrisome cares,
come sit with other believers outside on the porch chairs.
Join me in praying for those who follow these posts…
He’ll perfect what concerns us, as we trust the Lord of Hosts!
For our country, for our futures, we continue to believe…
for all of the good things that He said we could receive.
Of those suffering for their faith, today, we’re reminded;
we pray for them and their enemies, who are spiritually blinded.
We’re strong in the Lord and in the power of His might…
His Word lights our paths as we fight faith’s good fight!
P. A. Oltrogge
“Finally, my brethren, bestronginthe Lord and in the power of His might.” Ephesians 6:10

“Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms. Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.” James 5:13-18

A place of refreshment, the porch of the Lord… Pull up a chair, take in spiritual air. Jesus always has time, and His is the power– Receive there His touch in this end-time hour. Like Mary, take time to sit at His feet; Come to His porch for relief from life’s heat. Only one thing is needful and truly can please– His Word and His presence, felt on each breeze. He offers living water, quenching everyone’s thirst; And that’s yours there daily, by seeking Him first. There’s joy on His porch, with your sisters and brothers, As you find your needs met while caring about others. The healing and peace which only Christ can bring Are found there at all times—an everlasting spring. Taste there His love, so generously poured; Your “cup will run over” on the porch of the Lord.
P. A. Oltrogge
“Now it happened as they went that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard His word. But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, ‘Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me.’ And Jesus answered and said to her, ‘Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things; But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.’” Luke 10:38-42 NKJV

You made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet: All sheep and oxen, yes, and the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatever passes along the paths of the seas.

“But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them; Let those also who love Your name Be joyful in You. For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; With favor You will surround him as with a shield.” Psalm 5:11-12

_________________________
What did Jesus mean when He said “in that day…”? Well, He was telling His disciples that He would be going away.
He was going to Calvary, and He was going to die; but He would be raised from the dead and ascend on high.
There, in heaven, He would sit down at His Father’s right hand; and a new day–a New Covenant or Testament would become their brand.
He had met the needs of many and His disciples each day the same; but when He was gone, they were to start praying to the Father in His Name.
That Name would take the place of Him personally doing God’s will. Miracles, signs and wonders, through that Name would be available still.
That our joy may be full, Jesus said, “Ask, and you will receive” — We are “IN” “In that day.” His power’s here, through those who believe!
P. A. Oltrogge
“And He said to them, ‘Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents, and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.’
“So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.” Mark 16:15-20 NKJV
“So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
“For you shall go out with joy, And be led out with peace…” from Isaiah 55:11-12
‘The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous runs into it and is safe.” Proverbs 18:10 NASB
“Therefore also God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:9-11 NASB
“Jesus said to him, ‘If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.’” Mark 9:23
