Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth! Sing out the honor of His name; make His praise glorious. Say to God, How awesome are Your works! Through the greatness of Your power Your enemies shall submit themselves to You.

All the earth shall worship You and sing praises to You; they shall sing praises to Your name, ( Psalm 66:1-4).

Oh, sing to the Lord a new song! For He has done marvelous things; His right hand and His holy arm haved gained Him the victory.

The Lord has made known His salvation; His righteousness He has revealed in the sight of the nations. He has remembered His mercy and His faithfulness to the house of Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth; break forth in song, rejoice, and sing praises. Sing to the Lord with harp and the sound of a psalm, with trumpets and the sound of a horn; shout joyfully before the Lord, the King.

Let the sea roar, and all its fullness. The world and those who dwell in it; let the rivers clap their hands; let the hills be joyful together before the Lord.

For He is coming to judge the earth. With righteousness He shall judge the world, and the peoples with equity,( Psalm 98).

I am very glad that the Word says to make a shout or a loud noise in praise to the Lord. We do not have to have a beautiful voice to praise Him….. I am very grateful to the ones who have been blessed with great voices that I can hide behind in singing our song to our King!

I live in great amazement to worship songs to the Lord. The instruments playing all together making an awesome sound of beauty to the King of beauty. Each voice and each instrument are beautiful in themselves and yet when they play all together….. Wow- the songs of the Lord are outstanding, beyond this world……. They are heavenly, played by heavenly people.

As the body of Christ is one in the Spirit of God, the unity binds us together under our King, the Head of all creation….. We are His and He is our King….. We bow in adoration and submission to obedience to His word.. .. His words are the songs we sing.

We resonnate His beauty, Him, the King of our hearts. He is the King of the universe. The King of the nations is here among us…..

As we lift Him up in adoration, in obedience and worship. Most of all, when we lift Him up to all the One who died to save all; our King on the cross….. He will draw all peoples to Himself, it is His promise……

It is first written in Joshua 3:5, And Joshua said to the people, Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you……

The Lord did do great wonders among them when they obeyed….. Please notice after the consecration, came the crossing of the Jordan. The Israelites crossed over the river bed as the Lord held back the waters for them…..

Then they were finally in the promised land……. The Lord delivered them into His land……. But wait a minute! The Lord told them through Joshua to consecrate themselves….. They did….. Now after they are in the land, all the males had to be circumcized before they could move the inhabitants of the land out.

Why?

They were delivered by grace—- symbolizing the Lamb of God dying on the cross……They went through the parted waters, the torn veil….. They entered into the Holy of Holies……but then they needed to part with their flesh to have the authority to bring Light to the land, their land or souls, then from there move to the outer courts……

Soon as they died on the cross also- circumcized their hearts to the Lord….. Guess who shows up…. The King of glory, the Lord of Hosts….. ready to lead His army into a victorious battle…..The Israelites knew the Lamb but now they needed to know the King of glory—- so with us.

The Lord also speaks to us, the people of the Way, through His prayer to our Heavenly Father in John 17:16-21, They are not of the world just as I Am not of the world. Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.

As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth.

I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may know that You sent Me.

The Lord sanctified Himself for us…. It was proven that we have a hard time to consecrate ourselves for a long period of time…. We all come to place where nothing is working. The wall of protection has some gaps in it in our life. We wonder….. The Spirit then lets us know there is more than leaving the world or Egypt. We may have received the the Lord as Savior, but not as Lord or King who reigns over us.

So we say, okay Holy Spirit, what does that mean?…. The Spirit speaks the heart of our God:…… You have died also with Me so you can be with Me where I Am. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you, ( Romans 8:11).  Christ in us is our only hope of glory!( Colossians 1:27- paraphrased).

We died and die daily on the cross with the Lord. As we live out this Truth, ( is that what Paul meant by walking in the Spirit?),then the Spirit of God is able to appropriate His nature in us. We may have accepted this in our heads but have we stopped the work of the Holy Spirit in His tracks? Do we stop Him when He introduces us to some pressure on our flesh that perhaps is blocking the flow of God through us?….. He is relentless to raise us in the Spirit unto the image of the Lamb of God…

This is the way to exalt our King and lift Him up——–to be consecrated or sanctified to Him alone…. No treason, no slacking off in the army. There is great difference in the man called Peter before and after the day of Pentecost…… The flame of God ignited within him and changed Peter into a world changer……for His King……

So who do we chose this day? Who do we say I Am is in our lives?

We are finite creatures with a single focus…. Yes, we can multitask, but we still have an agenda….. Will this year be a year of His agenda or ours?…… We are Kingdom of God people….. We are Light bearers…. We bring His light to darkness and darkness splits……

The Holy Spirit within us always crowns our King with glory…… There is no mixture in the presence of His Spirit. In the fires of God. There will be found purity, truth and love in our heart for our King…..All else will blow away like chaff in the wind of His Spirit.

He is here to awaken us to the presence of the King…. If we are awakened, the wonders of God will be seen by us…. If we sleep in His presence, how will we see the wonders or even more important, how will we be His wonder on this earth?…..

Could it be the Lord’s heart is showing us as His wonders of God as written in Isaiah 8 :18, Here am I and the children whom the Lord has given Me! We are for signs and wonders in Israel from the Lord of hosts, who dwells in Mount Zion.

We will always grow in His image as we abide in His Word and we allow His word to abide in us…..

Remember what was written in Daniel 2, when Nebuchadnezzar had a dream that the stone that was not cut by human hands grew to a great mountain that will never cease. We are part of that mountain…. His kingdom. The King reigns. He is preeminent, whether He is held in that honor in our lives or not. The Lord is preeminent. As we crown Him as King, we throw our crowns on the ground in bowing to His greatness and His sovereignty….. This means we bow and obey to His sovereignty and lose our rights.

We will always grow strong in the Lord by protecting what we hear and watch with our eyes…….. We guard the presence of the King within by exalting Him in all things. We show Him to be first, that He is preminent—-Stopping all that does not exalt Him, in our lives…..We chose His Preeminence.

When the Lord of hosts presented Himself before Joshua, ( Joshua 5)….. Joshua questioned who this great Warrior was for Joshua’s enemies or for Joshua….. Joshua found out quick….. He was for neither…..He was for Himself, the Commander of the army of the Lord of Hosts……. Our King does not bow before anyone……His love for mankind raised Him higher than other place in God….by the right side of our Almighty God. He bowed and submitted to our Heavenly God once and won His prize- us….. It is finished……says our King.

Israel knew the saving power of God and know they needed the strength of our Mighty God as Warrior and King as they entered the promise land…… is not the same for us today??? In this day and age?

He will bring us through the fires and the waters as we remain in Him…..The King is preeminent and will be shown that in our lives or not…..and if not….. is not that called treason? Is that not the same thing that Adam did ?

We are able to shout to the Lord with a triumphant sound and shout as we praise our King.

Again, as we lift Him up, not our troubles, not our worries—–. In His exaltation, all things will be made new…. That is His promise to us…..The fires and the waters make us into the new….. the image of our King.

Seeing the Lord’ rainbows in the sky always reminds me of His faithfulness as written in Psalms above.

We have witnessed His faithfulness in His keeping us His….. Our King is great and worthy to be praised….. He is strong and mighty… His hold on us is stronger than our weakness. His wisdom in us is stronger than the pull of man made wisdom in this age. But we must turn out any mixture that is found in our hearts……so we may be His wonders and point to others His great wonders.

So we shout a joyful noise and offer up our bodies as a living sacrifice consecrated or sanctified to Him in the work of the cross and the work of His resurrection…… Beloved, we will see wonders…..

For such a time as this, we are to still our busy souls and know He is God. We are quiet before His presence so we may hear His Spirit speaking to us……This year is not a year to do things as usual… We slam the door on all distractions…. We keep our hearts still and quiet before Him and wait for our instructions….. Beloved, this year is not going to be a year that is normal…..have ears to hear and eyes to see what He is planning for those who love Him.

He will bring us through all of 2016 as He has faithfully brought us through all the past days.

But most of all, if we are watching, exalting our Lord as our first priority, we will see wonders this year.

The great worship songs are surrounding us. We shall remember the body of Christ is also of one Spirit not unlike the instruments playing together. As they play in unison the great songs have been birthed that we have been blessed with in these days…..What if we lived as one as written, what could be birthed as we pray in one accord?????????

We have one voice- And after these things I looked, and behold a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out in a loud voice, saying, Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne and to the Lamb!( Revelation 7:9-10).

One heart- He shall see the labor of His soul and be satisfied, Isaiah 53:11.

One mind: For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?, but we have the mind of Christ, ( 1 Corinthians 2:16).

One intent and one goal:Then I said, Behold, I come; it is written of me. I delight to do Your will, O my God, and Your law is within my heart, (Psalm 40:7-8),

We have One focus….

Therefore we also pray always for you that our God would count you worthy of His calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness and the work of faith with power, that the name of the Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ, ( 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12).

We live to glorify the Lord and lift Him high…… Let us fly like eagles on our praises before our King.

 

Why are you looking everywhere else for I AM?  I AM is here. Closer than your breath. Do you still not believe? I AM with you for you are with I AM….. Do not look for I AM in the chaos, I AM is above it…… Now where are you, child?

Where AM I? Where are you in Me?  The chaos is in great turmoil, alas, you are dancing with your King. Rejoice. I AM the God who hears your whispers, your calls in the night. You are My delight for I AM has placed in you My desires and purpose.

The sound of your voice praising lifts I AM higher and higher, alas, I AM lifts you also higher….. for you are with Me where I AM.

Sing the new song I AM has given you, children….. Sing out your heart’s love in praise to I AM, for I AM listening.

SELAH!

The website is still under construction….. see ya next week!  Look for His wonder…….everywhere!

My last month blogs have been lost by the hosting company I am currently in contract with under Westbow.

This should be rectified in 24-48 hours….. I am hopeful to be up and blogging  this first week of the year of 2016….. Meanwhile, be blessed this 2016 for our King is among us.

Watchmen, Watchmen, What Do You See?

I see the Lord high and lifted up!!

He is drawing all peoples to Him!

And I, if I Am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to
Myself,

( John 12:32).

And so Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so
must the Son of Man be lifted up, that who ever believes in Him
should not perish but have eternal life. ( John 3:14-15).

Awake, awake! Put on your strength, O Zion; put on your
beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city!,
( Isaiah 52 :1 a).

We are instructed by the Lord 16 times in the Gospels to
watch! We are to be alert! We are not to be found carousing,
getting caught up in the ways of the world, in which we were
saved and separated from.

We cannot be caught up in the world’s ways of life and lifting
the Lord up to draw all nations to Him at the same time. We
cannot be found serving two masters….. We cannot do it. If it
was possible to serve two masters, Jesus Christ would not
have spoke that it is impossible He spoke in Matthew 6: 24, No
one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and
love the other, or else he will be loyal to one and despise the
other. You cannot serve two masters.

As the Lord’s bride, we are ever mindful of Him and His return.
We strain our ears for His sound. We squint our eyes to see His
blaze. We wait and we watch. We pray.

The word watch in Strong’s concordance speaks of watch as
the idea of abruptness in starting up from sleep or awakened.
The words also referring to watch is arise and be awake, watch.

Prayer is communion with the Holy One….. So as we are in
prayer and keeping faithful in watching, no move of our God will
take us by surprise, but we will be amazed!

We know and live with the King who is among us by His Holy Spirit
as He inhabits the praise of His people….. So He fills the
atmosphere with Himself as well as our atmosphere within, our
spirit man….. He is with us and He is within us…. As we watch
with the Lord, we also realize we are with Him in the heavenlies
where He is.

Prayer in fellowship awakens us to His Truth, that He is with us
and we are with Him. If we feel the Lord is away from us, our
feelings are lying to us. Where we go, He is. Where He goes, we
are with Him. This is the watch of the Lord.

We carry His heart’s intent within us.

We celebrate His birth. We celebrate His death and resurrection.
The Scriptures have been revealed that He has been received
into the heavens and is seated at the right hand of Almighty
God. Do we know where we sit today? We better!

We have received the fire of the baptism of the Holy Spirit

In Him we move and have our being……. In us, He moves

When our God saw the darkness, He spoke what He wanted LIGHT BE….

When we walk the earth today, what do we see? Then most important is
Truth of God always reigns over darkness.

The Lord God is pleased with our faith and the life we live by faith. We are
that are to not, so what remains is eternal….. by our faith and the words

Could this be the watch of the Lord? As He sees the chaos He
speaks Light through us now. We are in union with the heart of
God and the mind of God and then the Spirit of God’s power
changes darkness to light…… by our faith in the Word and
Truth and Faithfulness of our God that we serve.

So we are the watchmen of heaven and earth. We bring heaven
to earth by our faith in the One who died for us because He loved
us, because we see as He does and speaks as He instructs. We
live the life with the Holy Spirit abiding in the Lord as the Lord
walked in One with our Heavenly Father on the earth in the flesh
of a man.

Most of us, probably do not remember the gifts we
received last Christmas, unless they were of a
spectacular kind or the day surrounded us with a momentous
occasion.

If we do remember, then the gift was special and worth
safe keeping.

When we receive something special to us, we usually put
the gift in a special place to keep its value.

When we received the Lord’s salvation, He provided
Himself as Atonement and Redeemer. We received total
Forgiveness of our YUCK….. Then He gave us His Spirit to
live within us. His Spirit came to preserve us for Him
alone. The Holy Spirit came to put us in a special place,
within Him to keep us in preparation for His return. We
now abide in the Secret Place of the Most High God, our
Lord Jesus Christ.

He gave us Himself in all ways that are possible to be
with us and for us to be able to be with Him where He is.

When we received His Gift or the Promise from the
Father, didn’t we see how Special and Wonderful he is…..
The Clothing of His Spirit upon us and within us is truly
priceless. This Gift of the Promise, the Holy Spirit, from
our Heavenly Father is kept in our hearts and we then also
preserve this Gift in wonder of His Love.

The power of God given to us to be our Teacher, our Guide,
our Counselor, our Prophet, our Comfort…..

For this purpose was the Promise given to those who
believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior:

Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls
filled with the seven last plagues came to me and talked
with me, saying, Come I will show you the bride, the
Lamb’s wife.

And He carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high
mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy
Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, having the
glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like
a jasper stone, clear as crystal, (Revelation 21: 9-11).

This is the vision of the bride of Christ, His people, their
origin is from heaven dwelling on this earth….. We are
priceless to our Lord and He is priceless to us. So we
diligently keep ourselves dead unto the world and the
world dead unto us….. We do not return to the world and
its way….. we are completely satisfied with our God.
There is no temptation to a dead man. We do not want
these words of God spoken into our ears today:

And to the angel of the church in Sardis write, these
things says He who has the seven Spirits of God and the
seven stars: I know your works, that you have a name that
you are alive, but you are dead.

Be watchful, and strengthen the things with remain, that
are ready to die, for I have not found your works perfect
before God.

Remember therefore how you have received and heard;
hold fast and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will
come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour
I will come upon you.

You have a few names in Sardis who have not defiled their
garments; and they shall walk with Me in white, for they
are worthy.

He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments,
and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I
will confess his name before My Father and before His
angels.

He who has an ear, let him what the Spirit says to the
churches,                      ( Revelation 2: 1-6)

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the
church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify
and cleanse her with the washing of the water by the
Word, that He might present to her Himself a glorious
church, not having a spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but
that she should be holy and without blemish, ( Ephesians
5:27).

We know the Holy Spirit’s job is to work the work of God
within our soul so we are presented to Christ without spot
or wrinkle. We are presenting the image of our King
within, clear and transparent in purity and righteousness.

This is our great opportunity. So do we say- seize the day!
We diligently have ears to hear the Holy Spirit speak and
guide us.

We have been clothed with the Garment of His Spirit
covering us while He beautifies us within the image of
Christ.

I maybe in correct here, but most brides put their gown in
a special place. They do not allow it to become wrinkled in a
drawer or do they let it near anything that might spot the
garment ….. They cherish in their hearts what the gown
represents to them.

So do we, as we have received the blood of the Lamb,
cleansing us white as snow. How we cherish what the
Lamb of God did for us. We honor His blood and suffering
by clinging to Him in all His way. Then, beloved, we find our
rest as the little bird found rest in the altar of God, she
could build her little nest and have peace….in Him.

Our God always performs what is love and beyond what
we can imagine: He bestows upon His Blessed Spirit to
be within us. He is preparing the body of Christ to be the
image of Christ….. So in our preparation, we are diligent
to remain with out spot and wrinkle so we may be
presented to the King spotless and full of His beauty.

As a bride keeps her gown from being placed where it can
be spotted or crushed to wrinkle, so do we keep our souls
in purity before the King. We run from evil and pursue
righteousness in all things.

We walk hand in hand with our King by His Spirit and look upon
His kingdom. We are there to please the King by knowing
His heart and do His word.

Do we know what our King is longing for today? Do we
know what he is pondering?

If we are busy with the world’s ways and distractions, we
will be found to have shoved our gown in a draw in the
kitchen….. Our gown will be shown to be wrinkled and full
of spots in the world…..

The King of kings warned His people in Sardis, as He
speaks to day in Revelation 3:5, He who overcomes shall
be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his
name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name
before My Father and before His angels.

We should beware not to get re-caught or trapped with
the tinsel and the glitter of deception and believe the lie
as also warned in Romans and 2 Thessalonians: Therefore
God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of
their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves,
who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped
and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is
blessed forever. Amen.

(Romans 1:24).

The coming of the lawless one is according to the working
of Satan, with all power, signs and lying wonders, and with
all unrighteous deception among those who perish
because they did not receive the love of the truth, that
they may be saved.

And for this reason God will send them strong delusion,
that they should believe the lie, that they all may be
condemned who did believe the truth but had pleasure
in unrighteousness, (2 Thessalonians 9-12).

So how do we overcome this world after we have tasted
the goodness of God and do not want to be found strayed
from the Truth?

As written in 1 John 4:17, Love has been perfected among
us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of
judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world.

For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this
is the victory that has overcome the world, our faith, ( 1
John 5:5).

His divine nature must be found in us at His coming or our
return to Him. Peter reminds us in 1 Peter 1:3-9, Blessed
be the God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who
according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to
a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ
from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and
undefiled and that does not fade away reserved in heaven
for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith for
salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if
you need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that
the genuineness of your faith, being more precious than
gold that perishes, though it is tested by fine, may be
found to praise, honor and glory at the revelation of Jesus
Christ, whom having not seen you love. Though you do not
see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible
and full of glory, receiving the end of your faith- the
salvation of your souls.

The Holy Spirit warned us in the letter to Sardis to be
found watching …. be found watching and also the Lord
Himself warned us in the Gospels in the instructions of
the end times….I am not saying these are the end times,
but we do know when our days will be ended on this
earth……Our God holds our days in His hands and the
Heavens rule, let wisdom be found in us…..

Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of
the God and of Jesus Christ our Lord, as His power has given
us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the
knowledge of Him, who called us by glory and virtue, by
which we have been given to us exceedingly great and
precious promises, that through these you may be
partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the
corruption that is the world through lust.

But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to
your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self
control, to self- control perseverance, to perseverance
godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to
brotherly kindness love.

For if these things are yours and abound, you will be
neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord
Jesus Christ.

For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to
blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from
his old sins.

Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your
call and election sure, for if you do these things you will
never stumble; for so an entrance will be supplied to you
abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ.

For this reason, I will not be negligent to remind you
always of these things, through you know and are
established in the present truth, ( 2 Peter 2-12).

May this be the way to keep pure and spotless and
without wrinkle as we present our souls to the King daily
in purity and humility? Grace, grace and more grace! May
the Holy Spirit add more grace upon grace to us! Beloved,
this is all done in faith in the Holy One who has been found
completely faithful to us at all times.

Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest
your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you
at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not
conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your
ignorance; but as He who called you is holy, you also be
holy in all you conduct, because it is written, be holy, for I
Am holy,( 1 Peter 13-16).

Children,

If My way were of easy pursuit, there would be no reason
to speak of the narrow road.

My kingdom suffers violence, and the violent take it by
force. You perceive the windy day, but where is the wind’s
origin?

As a baby is born, how is it known when he becomes a
man? How does the body know to grow old?

When a baby comes, they are about them.

When a young adult comes, they are getting all they
need.

When as an grown man comes, he is living to give all
their need.

How comforting is it to worship as a child.

How forceful it is to worship through all days as a sons
and daughters of the Most High.

How strong stand through all the worship because of
love of their God.

Alas, I AM no longer in the manger, nor are you as you
read….. Come to Me as you are and I AM meets you in all I
AM.

Come to Me now while it is pleasing to My will, nor later
when you have missed this day, for you will not be
prepared to meet your God.

Please My heart as a child runs home in delight to share
his day with his parents.

Come share with Me all your days so we may walk
together as I AM has planned before the foundation of the
world….. I AM with His people walking in My creation
celebrating My goodness.

Be Mine.
Selah!
