My soul waits for the Lord, my soul waits, and in His word I do hope. My soul waits for the Lord more than those who watch for the morning- Yes, more than those who watch for the morning, ( Psalm 130:5).

For the Lord has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His dwelling place: This is My resting place forever; here I will dwell for I have desired it. I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her poor with bread. I will also clothe her priests with salvation. And her saints shall shout aloud for joy.

There I will make the horn of David grow; I will prepare a lamp for My Anointed. His enemies I will clothe with shame, but upon Himself His crown shall flourish, ( Psalm 132:13-18).

For since the beginning of the world men have not heard nor percieved by the ear, nor has the eye seen any God besides You, who acts for the one who waits for Him, ( Isaiah 64:4).

There are many brothers and sisters in Christ who are waiting on the Lord in very hard places…. Before my heart starts to feel fustrated on the goings on, the Holy Spirit puts their faces before me to lift them up by praying the Word over them. There are many heroes of our faith in the making today.

Their faces shine with the light of Christ even amongst the horrible treatment as beatings, lack of food, terrible conditions, but they shine. They shine the life of Christ because He is Eternal….and so are they. Oh how I earn the Holy Spirit that I could be as brave as these heroes in our family of God. May we be as strong in Christ so that His power be perfected in our weakest moment in our weakest place as the days unfold.

Remember the story of Elisha helping the prophet’s widow get out of debt in 2 Kings 4…. She was told by Elisha to gather all the neighbor’s vessels to be filled with oil…. So she and her son obeyed the prophet…. The little bit of oil never ran dry but continued to fill all the vessels…. She was able to get out of her debt.

The presence of the Holy Spirit within us is exactly the same spiritual meaning as the woman or the church getting out of sin….. The Oil is always represented as the Holy Spirit in Scriptures. If we do not have the baptism of the Holy Spirit within us, we will live without the empowerment to keep out of sin and darkness. We do not lack any good thing because of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Thanks be to God Almighty.

So as we wait before the Lord, may we ask Him to continue to fill us with more of His Spirit. He increases the room by our experiences of faith. We let go of what was for more of I Am. We live by experiencing His greatness and then we grow in His knowledge…

When we wait upon the Lord, I think He jumps for joy for the one who doesn’t have a list of wants and needs, but wants to sit before Him because Who He is and they desire to hear His words…… We desire His presence as our greatest need and our want list is an after thought…. Now do not get me wrong, we all have petitions and supplications that only He can answer. But to sit at His feet in rest is an answer already….. As we sit, somehow all the petitions and supplications are answered as we are caught up in Him….. That is the God we love and serve.

As we sit with Him, we love it when we turn in the Word and find out an answer there…..It is our answer whether we like the reply or not…. The word is for us to obey. Or maybe we find an answer through another persons speaking to us….. or He may just speak to us while taking a shower or taking a walk. We learn to have eyes and ears open to His words all the day long.

We have Him by His grace so we never lose. We are winners in all things because of our Lord. We win….We overcome…. The prisoners of the Lord and those that are cast out of their homes and lands have the marks of the Lord on them….Do we have enough of Christ within to carry His marks if we find we are in the same situation here in the west?

When the wall is before us, do we first go to the grace of God as our Answer and Sufficiency?  Do  we allow the grace of God which I believe is the strength of God to carry us and keep us strong in all situations. Will we live as He is our Sufficiency and in Him we can do all things? Sometimes, the truth seems to appear He is doing all the things as He desires within us, even though we are acting out His instructions. When we really really know, it was not me, but Christ living through me, we can say, we walk and live by the Spirit of God in faith. Amen!

We have current martyrs that are the living sacrifice of the Lord……and they shine! If we are to ask them about their afflictions, they would say, if it were not for Christ……….I would not be.

We have the good news from the Lord that His grace is sufficent in all things, whether it be trials, health or persecution…… He will bring us through all things if we keep our eyes on Him and hold on to His love….. Let us live this promise out, beloved. His love for us never fails…. The only way His love will fail is on our end in not receiving Him in our hearts.

The best place is be is in a hard spot. When we find there is no help but God. When we find there is no solution or answer found on this earth, but God…..When we turn our gaze from ourselves and the chaos we find ourselves in, He is there waiting……He is all our need and all can be found in Him and He has open arms…..

His greatness is unsearchable…….. No matter how much we search for Him and find Him…. There is more to find out about this Great God…… He is our comfort through the night and our strength and song in the morning…. He is our cloud of cover during the heat of trials. He is our fire protecting us from the cold of evil and all it’s hate.

All the transformation experiences which the Holy Spirit takes us through reveals more  attributes of our Lord Jesus Christ and our God Almighty. As they are revealed, we then partake of those attributes or greatness of our God as the strength and might  in our lives and through us to others…. Only God could take our waiting on Him and turn our gaze into living a heaven filled life… Only our God, for there is no like Him. No one. Amen!

In your mind’s eye, children, do you see me on the cross? Do you see My life dripping out by My blood from the wounds of whom I love? They are for you. My love is so deep for you. Please know Me, then you will understand My love that is neverending. I Am there as Your wounded Savior. I Am there sitting on High as Your King. I Am within You as Your Guide and Teacher.

Do not struggle to get out of the hands of Love…..I will not let you go. I Am the Strength you desire. I Am the Hope which restores what you are losing in your living away from Me.

I Am aware that you do not know your next step, I Am does…..Take it with Me for I Am the way…… I see the works on digging youself out of the pits your hands have put you in…… I Am will walk with you through the harvest you have sown.

Take My Cross and Sacrifice as yours. The power of My Sacrifice has cleansed the way for you to follow. There is new harvests to reap as My Seeds sown come from your life….. Come to Me…..

The Sacrifice of the Lamb of God on the cross and the Holy Spirit are your Forever Friends.  Allow the road of your days to wind upward to the heights of the heavens, not by your works, children, but by My Spirit.

I Am Order and Peace. You walk with Me, My life will overwhelm your chaos. We walk through the valleys, My Life will enlighten the correct paths for you to take. We ascend to the hills, My Provision will give you vision in the heights of battles. I train you to keep your peace in the midst of turmoil. Keep Me, keep your Peace. See Me, keep your place in My love. Love Me, keep all the promises of the Godhead counsel in you….. Always know to be still, I Am God…. I Am exalted among all!

Do not fear of the morrow, I Am with you today…. Live with Me today, you sowing the seeds of My Life, My Word, will reap everlasting life in Me in the morrow….. Obey Me today, the morrow will be blessed in My strength and joy….Even the hard winds adversity pounding on your faith will not deter your place in My Life…. in Me. Come to Me…..

My Cross and Sacrifice are your Refuge and Strong Tower to hold. My Cross is yours. Allow My Cross to be your heart. Do not fight the hardness of learning and living My Neverending Love. If you embrace My Cross, all the rocky cliffs made for stumbling and falling will be made smooth. I Am will be the Bridge across or the path of Refuge.

Wait on Me, and as you wait, your strength will mount up as eagles wings and soar in My Spirit. Come to Me, we walk together and the darkness part way for the Light of the World.

Come to Me, the depths are the heights in My Kingdom. The lowest branch bowing is the highest among the sons in My Kingdom. The forgotten and cast aways are the most known in My Kingdom. The laying down of all for Me is the Most Beautiful and Brightest in My Kingdom.

Ask Me for the understanding of the wise in heart. However, they are never found sitting on comfort, but the wise in heart have been forged in the fires of My love. They are learning the cross and they shine Me.

Will you still come to Me? Come to Me….. I Am, Creator of you, has made you for such a way. You are My chosen vessel….. Trust Me…..Come to Me….

Today, behold, the valley of decision is before us……..Let us take another bite of His neverending Love and say, Yes, Sir….. we come. We come to learn of the King and His ways.

You, Oh Lord, are willing to lay before us all of Your Mighty Love as You work and establish You in us. Thank You that You supply all the grace for us to come and to overcome so we may continue to eat at the table You have prepared for us before our enemies. We come, Lord, hungry for You and Your ways…..Have Your way in us.

Lord, we come…..

Selah!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Many times through my life, I wanted something so bad I could taste it… It did not matter if it was the color of a flower or a shirt or ice cream….!!! Sometimes it felt I could taste it before I could get my hands on it, even if it wasn’t edible!!!! As His Spirit works within us, we should be growing an insatiable hunger for the Lord and what He wants, as Jesus Christ walked in knowing the will of His Father……

The taste of the goodness and knowledge of the Lord in our  and through our lives is not unlike the taste of honey in our mouths…. We can not get enough of Him though He fills us, we want more, right? Amen!

Are we awakening to the life of God as our only Food that satisfies? We have destroyed with a vengeance all that is destroying and distracting us. We want beyond what we see here. We want to see what He sees. We want our view to be the view from heaven. We want to live from where we are from….We want to be with Him, in Him, and from Him in all we say and do. Amen and Amen! For we cannot get enough of His majesty, His wonder, His wisdom….. His love.

Is being in the smack dab middle of the Lord’s will our only meat that satifies? Being in the middle of the Lord’s will is not an easy meat to chew and swallow, but how can we resist so great a love towards us? The obedience to the Word of God is bitter to the flesh, but the cost is worth it. We are now His…… We are -in sink- with the Spirit. What an adventure we have been blessed to live in Him. This is our purpose now, right? Being in the will of God is all that counts once we put our life  in Jesus Christ’s authority and crown Him as our Lord, right?

But He said to them, I have food to eat of which you do not know. Therefore the disciples said to one another, Has anyone brought Him anything to eat? Jesus said to them, My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work, ( John 4:32-34).

Then Jesus answered and said to them, Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner, ( John 5:19).

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God, ( John 1:1).

Heaven and earth will pass away, but My Words will by no means pass away, ( Mark 13:31).

The Word of God is Eternal….. The more we study or eat the Word of God, the more Christ will be all in all….. in us….The Word of God and His Spirit takes over and is active within us.  We are a fire of the Lord which will not be easily quenched…..

When we read Hebrews, we are instructed in chapter 9:1-4, Then indeed, even the first covenant had ordinances of divine service and the earthly sanctuary. For a tabernacle was prepared: the first part, in which was the lampstand, the table, and the showbread, which is called the sanctuary; and behind the second veil, the part of the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of All, which had the golden censer and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which were the golden pot that had the manna, Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant.

But the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us; for after He had said before, This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord; I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them, then He adds, Their sins and their lawless deeds I remember no more, ( Hebrews 10:15-17).

Therefore, when He came into the world, He said: Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but a body You have prepared for Me. In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin You had no pleasure. Then I said, Behold, I have come- in the volume of the Book is it written of Me- To do Your will, O God, ( Hebrews 10:5-7).

Numerous times in the New Testament, when the Israelites brought the Tabernacle with them into battle, the enemy’s camp would freak out and panic because our God had a reputation. Sometimes the camp of the enemy was destroyed by an angel because of the prayer and praise of His people during their attack or their need, without visible sight of the Tabernacle. God was with His people then and now!The enemy is quite aware of  how present the Lord is with us. His greatest goal is portray that God is not here, so we may panic….. So who are we going to believe?

It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the Living God, ( Hebrews 10:31). Let all know and be aware God is an Awesome God.

The tabernacle of God, Jesus Christ, His Spirit dwells within us…. This is not seen by the visible world, but God sees His Spirit within those that love Him…. Where we are, He is….and that is heaven! 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, ( Isaiah 8:18).

If the temple or tabernacle was a sign of the One True Living God during the Old Testament in the midst of His people, the Israelites?  Then I have to ask, are we not the signs and wonders of the Lord now?….

Of course, we are the visible signs and wonders of the One True God living in our midst…..The church is His visible tabernacle on this earth today….. Christ Jesus lives in us, His body. We are one with the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, as prayed by our Lord in John 17…..

Before you start to argue , do you think any prayer of our Lord’s was not answered? Of course not.  We are one with God, understanding we are in communion with the God head…. Where He is, we are in the Spirit and where we are, He is in the Spirit….. No separation because of our Lord’s precious blood and His Spirit within us…. So do we live according to that truth?

Let us set our mind to know we are with Him and He is with us…. His name is written on our forehead and our heart…. We are His and He is our God- He goes before us and has our backs covered……So when we enter a place, He enters also… When we leave a place, His presence goes with us- unless someone has Him too! Let us remember the presence of the Great I Am is here within us- separately and collectively as His body.

I have become as a wonder to many, but you are my strong refuge, let my mouth be filled with Your praise and with Your glory all the day, (Psalm 71:7).

The Word of God came and tabernacled among us….. or became flesh as written in John 1:14. Now He is within us, as we are His visible testimony to all…. We are His signs and wonder….. of His great love for us and the world, through us. We are His temple or tabernacle now…. God has prepared for Him a body…. We are now His body and He is the Head!

The will of God is not some mysterious ethereal way which no one can figure out……His Word is our Standard. His Spirit gives us the courage and strength to overcome so we obey His Word even through any cost. His Word is the Living Word….. He is living with us!

God is loving and simple in His wisdom. Man makes God complicated, but He is loving and gentle to all that call on Him with a pure heart. His standards are high and tough, but His Spirit within is tough in power to raise us to the Standard of Christ.

The baby first learns who their caregivers are- their mom and dad….. Then they learn their boundaries as they grow……The Lord is the same with us….. First, we learn about His great love as our Heavenly Father and grow from there…..in His Word….by His Spirit.

The Holy Spirit reveals the God of the heavens and earth slowly as we grow. As His Word takes root deeper and deeper in us, the higher our growth towards heaven. Then heaven becomes our reality.

Our view grows as our maturity in trusting and obeying His Word as well as the instructions of obedience and love from the Holy Spirit that comes to us daily. Our flesh doesn’t want to obey the Word of God, it is uncomfortable, but our inner man, our spirit is hungry for His Presence. So the struggle within is overcome daily by our discipline of the fleshly appetites. Just say no!

Our growth depends daily of and in His Presence….Though He is ever with us, our thirst for Him in this dry world, is ever growing and so needful…. The need for Him in His Presence resembles a glass of ice water given to us on a hot day of temperatures way over 100 degrees. Only our God can quench our thirst and hunger. One Word from Him can change everything for ever!

One answer of a prayer can change our life, others lives, the lives of our loved ones, strangers, prisoners, and nations….. if we pray and sit before the King…. His scepter is always held out before us, always welcoming us, always hearing us….As we abide in Him, we can ask what we will, and it shall be granted.

His Presence is always before us to behold and become, if we want Him. We have Him… What a Great Loving King to whom we belong….. Only our God could be so great and so loving….So full of might and power, and yet, so tender and gentle….. Only our God, only our God. The One True Living God is forever deserving of all our praise and obedience all our days.

Lord, behold, you have made me so I may do Your will…. So we come to hear and sit before You, Lord. What is Your heart today? Open our hearts and open our ears to hear Your great voice, my God, my King.

Fill us with Your Word of Life, fill us with You, My King, for nothing else will do, but You, O God!

Thank you for coming children. Thank you for turning the gaze of your heart towards Me. I Am Your mighty God and King, but I Am lowly in waiting for My children to come to Me. Behold, I Am always knocking on Your door….. Many times, no one opens to Me.

I realize My ways are higher and My thoughts are higher and wider, however, they are not beyond your reach. The way I came into time and ascended is the way to understand My kingdom….though I Am still here with you. You know the way ! All things and time will pass away, children, hear Me. But I Am and will always be. I Am where you are tomorrow. I Am your past. I Am your future… Why waist your days on what will not be. These things are here to point you to Me not to be placed in front of I Am. You may not see, but I Am your day….

I have great plans for you to walk through each day…… I have many ways to speak to you, ask for your ears to hear Me….. Pray to know I Am has been talking to you and guiding  you in your life….. Some days, when the clouds are about, you hear. Other days when all is sunny, you turn away.

But I Am here still speaking My Guidance, My Comfort, My love over you. Thank You for coming to hear Me today….. My everloving kindness will not be removed from you. Be still. Know that I Am God. Talk to Me often as I speak to you often. The Great I Am loves you. Tune your ear to hear Me.

You come to be near I AM, as I came to be near My children. Learn and know My love…..Rest in Me as My love surrounds you. As your desire for Me grows, all other desires will dissolve like a puddle in the noonday sun…… Know I Am shakes things that are not, so what remains is, even now. I Am has removed all the iniquity and all the sin, may you realize and live accordingly. I will always increase, all else will decrease because I Am. Come to Me often, I Am waiting… those who wait on I Am will renew their strength like the eagles…. Come, come to Me.

Come to Me with your families at eventide. Come to Me, we will sup together. You will be filled and so the little ones will know Me from the least to the greatest. Come to Me, allow the children to come for My kingdom is made up of many hearts of simple faith and wonder…..Let them drink from the Water of Life so they may not thirst for any other in this world.

I Am promises if you give Me your time, your life will blossom as a desert rose where no rain falls. The storms will come and you will be carried by the Great Everlasting Arms. Do you not know, your names are etched on the palms of My hands?…. Come and find rest for your weary and parched souls in the embrace of My Presence…. My Words are forever……You are from a kingdom that cannot be shaken. Rest on the foundation that you stand. The coming days, when all around is shaking, know where  and who you are standing  with, children. Not unlike the child’s game, paper, rock and scissors….. Do you stand on the Rock or the sand? What is stronger than I Am, the Word and Giver of Life Eternal?  Am I your choice? However, you are mine. Let it be done to you according to your faith. Remember always, I love you, the Great I Am.

Thank you children for hearing Me.

 

Shhhhhhh!!! The King is here…… Listen and selah!

 

 

A grill is an altar. Isn’t it?! What is an altar for? The Lord’s temple always has an altar, right? Are we not the temple of the Lord now? Hmmmmm. In Strong’s Concordance, the word altar is described as slay…… Let us ponder on the following scriptures.

This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends, ( John 15:12-13).

Then he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and the testimony which they held. And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth? Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said that they should rest a little longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed, ( Revelation 6:10-11). Notice the testimony of the Lord they spoke refers to the Lord’s testimony of Himself in the Phildelphia church. The testimony of the Lord is of the One who is holy, true and has the keys! This tells us a clue as to the church they belong in the seven churches of Revelation……

Then I Heard A Voice From Heaven Saying To Me……Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on. Yes, says the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors, and their works follow them, ( Revelation 14:13).

Then he said to me, Write: Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb! And he said to me, These are the true sayings of God,     ( Revelation 19:9).

Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.

His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself.

He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called, the Word of God. And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses, ( Revelation 19:11-13).

And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: I will dwell in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they shall be My people, ( 2 Corinthians 6:14).

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to the world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God,      ( Romans 12:1-2).

So, when he( Judas) had gone out, Jesus said, Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in Him. If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and glorify Him immediately,( John 13:31-32).

The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are the children of God, and if children, then heirs- heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together. For I consider the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us, ( Romans 8:16-18).

As it is written: For Your sake we are killed all day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Yet in all things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us, ( Romans 8:36-37).

I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily, ( 1 Corinthians 15:31).

But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world, has been crucified to me and I to the world,         ( Galatians 5:14).

Where there is an altar, there has to be a fire burning!! As Christ dwells within, picture the symbolism of the seven lamps that burn before the throne of God…so He burns within us as we lay on the altar as a living sacrifice.

The fire is turned up to burn away the old gunk from the past, our old man…. So we are then a sweet smelling fragrance to our Lord, of our Lord….

We cannot burn with out God…. He is the Fire and He refines us to His liking…. This is not of our doing. He is the Expert Craftsman for each one of us… The flaming trials and tribulations are set perfect for each of us to go through with Him… He knows what we need to prove Himself in us…. What needs to go and what needs to grow.

Through the coming times of our fire and water experiences as well as what comes to the sons of men on the earth, it is imperative to remember and know His word for us:
For this is like the waters of Noah to Me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah would no longer cover the earth, so I have sworn that I would not be angry with you, nor rebuke you. For the mountains will depart and the hills be removed, but My kindness shall not depart from you, nor shall My covenant of peace be removed, says the Lord who has mercy on you, ( Isaiah 54:9-10).

When we want to clean our grill, we turn the fire up to get off all the old gunk that is on the grill….. The same procedure comes from the Holy Spirit…. What is not Christ’s will be burned up by fire as written in 1 Corinthians….. The blessing as we offer our selves truly as writtin in Romans 12:1-2, we will be as He is when we awaken or He is revealed.

We have to be patient in living out His great love for us. We have to trust that His work in us is so great that we are worthy to be part of His plan and anxious to see His work. We also walk in faith with our brethren as they also are in the hands of the Great Potter. God is the Great IAM and He always speaks as He sees, not what is….. so should we…!!!

When the disciples yelled in fear to the Lord as the waves were increasing on the lake, His reply was you of little faith- Where is your faith?

When the waves or fire increases in our lives, it is His good pleasure to work His work in us……Do not fear we have missed any mark, know for certain we did! That is okay. God’s way or standard, His Son, is higher. If we were not being made into the Lord’s image, there would be no need for the Holy Spirit to be our Guide. We are being made into His image because we still lack His completeness within. There are ways of God we have not yet uncoverered, but we are being molded into a higher standard. He is working out His purpose in our lives……as we lean on Him as our All.

If we would see a sculptor working his clay, if the clay could speak it would say…. Ouch, that hurts!……However, when the art is completed, the clay will look back and think, I am glad He did what He did….. His work shows all His beauty which He put in me,….. a lump of clay.

So as we are the temple of the Lord, we are in His loving great hands…..no, not all the remaking in the fire will be easy….. but in the end……we will reveal His beauty of holiness.We will be riding on the power of the Holy Spirit with the Lord in pure white linen.

The Holy Spirit is saying, turn the fire up and get rid of the junk on the grill that is old. He wants a clean altar…..He is going through the temple of His Father’s house today….. He is throwing over things in our lives that are a great offense to Him. He wants obedience and holiness from us…. He purifies us so we may love Him with a greater love….. It takes God to love, so God or Christ must dwell in us to love through us!

Again, the word of God reminds us of Whose we are!: Do you not know that you are the temple of the of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are, ( 1 Corinthians 4:16-17).

So as the fire turns up in our lives over the next few months, remember, His love and His plan will come to pass in our lives, if we lay still on the altar….. We know the finished work of His hands all will be made new. We have been remade through the fire of His great love. We are His work and beautiful in His sight. Just hold on to His love.

When we got a tap on our behind when we were little so we would learn not to run out into the street, it hurt ( mostly our pride!). But that little tap was to keep us safe in our family…His discipline is to keep us from destruction. Keep us strong in Him, in His family.

There is a mystery being revealed to us, if we are quiet in His hands and rest to learn the secret….. If Christ will be all and in all…..Does not that scripture include us, right? Right…..We have to be aware of the plan of God and this promise, Christ will fill all things…… His work will work in us, we will burn so others may also! That is the plan, we will let Him have His way…. I rather be found on His obedience side to the fire with His care then found on the rebellious side with out His comfort. God will have His way so the fullness of God may dwell in the Lord’s body…..as written.

Let the waves rustle and bustle and raise up before us, we stand in our God, knowing He is God. He gives strength to us…. This is His battle around us as He goes before us and is our rear Guard….. It is His delight to be our Potter in us…..So let us rest in our faith, which is not freaking out by what is in our sight, but resting in His love and faithfulness….So as we stand on the knowledge of His greatness and rest as His plan is being played out among the sons of men, we wait, we pray, we stand and we burn in a holy fire for Him.

Remember, when we barbeque on the grill, if one item catches on fire and is burning…..eventually it will spread to the other items on the grill too….. For we burn in and out- around our surroundings.

King David knew that any offering to the Lord had to cost something as written 2 Samuel 24:24. David knew the Lord was worthy of nothing less than a sacrifice on his part. Let us remember that in the coming days…. So as we remember the Lord, we eat the bread in remembrance of His body broken for us…..We partake of the new convenant by drinking the wine representing His blood shed for us….. His eternal life given to us by faith…..He gave us His all with a great cost…

Shall we also give Him our all with a cost as our devotion and faithfulness to Him… Christ will be all in all in us, we also allow ourselves to be broken—– Let us rest in Him as He works His work…..As we also take all from Him that He died to give to us to live His way and live in His life.

Child, do not fear as the waves rise for I allowed the rising and the falling so you may turn and find your solace and rest in Me…. I hold you in My hands. No one may snatch you away from Me. You are Mine…My concern for you is great. You are My great reward…. Know how I love My children. Do not fear for what you fear is not greater than I AM. You say you believe in Me, than I say to you, from your belief let trust arise. I guide you and instruct you to allow your trust to rise higher than the billowing waves…. For they are like grass, they will be gone tomorrow, but alas, I AM and you are with Me.

Prove your professing love of Me, rest in Me. Speak to Me often, come, I love to hear your voice. Ask Me, for I will show You….. Ask Me, Seek for Me, Knock for Me…… I will be found, but AM I what you are seeking? I know your hearts….. Please turn your hearts to know Mine…. Time is quick, a blink of an eye and it will be gone. In My hands are your tomorrows. The knowledge of how well the time was spent will be measured…. Do not turn away from Me. You will find rest for your wandering souls. I AM your Rest. I fill the earth with the glory of God….. All will see His glory, but not all will live in His glory.

I Am your Wisdom, hear My voice. Follow My words, they are full of eternal life….All those who follow My words abide in Me, so then you will ask of Me what you desire and it shall be done for you.

Hear Me today for My words are Life and Rest to you.

Our response to the Lord besides Yes, Sir and….: I love the Lord, because He has heard my voice and my supplications. Because He has inclined His ear to me, therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live, ( Psalm 116:1).

When we refuse His handiwork, we refuse the new height of revelation that He plans to show us by our increased trust and faith…….
Selah!

we bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever we loose on earth will be loosed in heaven,( Matthew 16:19).

These things says He who is holy, He who is true. He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens,                     ( Revelation 3:7).

I Am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death, ( Revelation 1:18).

The Lord has  all authority  in  all things on the earth and in the heavens as symbolized by the keys. This world and universe and the spiritual realm….As we grow in the revelation or the grace and knowledge of our Lord, we also grow in our authority in the Lord.

He said to them, Who do you say I AM? Simon Peter answered and said, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.

Jesus answered and said to him, Blessed are you Simon Bar-Jo’nah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. And I say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.

And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven, ( Matthew 16:15-19).

Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart, saying: There was a certain judge who did not fear God nor regard man. Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, Get justice for me from my adversary.

And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself, Though I do not fear God nor regard man, yet because this widow troubles me I will avenger her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.

Then the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge said. And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them?    

I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?, ( Luke 18:1-8).

Can we look at the times and realize our lives need to be filtered. It is not business as usual. What ever we sow or not sow  in prayer will change the course of the nation coming in November of 2016. Our prayers could even change some events  sooner.

Speaking for myself, if I need something especially urgent as in an emergency, my faith is like steel to our great God. I will not give up or give in. I expect His Almightiness to answer!….. I know I am not alone in being pushy or persistent when we want or need something very important…..

We are the ones that have a hold of our God’s ear….. His children…… When we are with our own children, we hear their cries….. and turn to help…… Now when they keep crying and pulling on our clothes to capture our attention for help, we will answer them……Same with our Heavenly Father with His children……

I wonder what Jesus meant when He said – though He bears long with us?   Numerous ideas come up but I am not sure the true meaning….Is He bearing because of our  prayers are laced with selfishness, covetousness or greed? Are they not regarding His purpose ?

Can we know the importance of the times we are in? Do we wonder  the outcome of this nation could be held in our prayers or lack of…..  This nation could turn back to God by His hand because we have His ear! But is from a place on our knees and of sacrifice……not a filmed event, but in the quiet secret place, where there is only God and us……or our families.

God does relent on His judgments at times….. Can we believe that this might be the time and make a committment to keep His ear until things are changed by His hand.

We don’t have to knock on heaven’s door, we are already there! We are already seated with our King in the heavenlies…… Are we learning to reign with our King as He left us instruction, binding what is not of heaven and loosing what is of heaven?

I pray the Lord will say to this generation of His people: Good job, I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven…… Don’t you? Yeah!!!!

What if we lived knowing every prayer is answered without any doubt? Would we be more diligent to turn off the T.V. at night to be present before His Presence in communion and prayer….. Do we wonder if our prayers are heard because our relationship is a little more like an acquaintance instead of a marriage or strong bond between Father and son or daughter?

Our Heavenly Father is so great that when we are far from Him, He hears and answers. When we are close He hears and answers His children…… He who created the ear, does He not hear? He who created the eyes, does He not see? He who created us, does He not hold us in His hands?

He hears and answers. He speaks to us with His gentle voice and we must remember and live on what He says—- for He is the LIVING WORD…. Not a dead word, but living and active to pierce us to the core so we may choose life and light.

He speaks to us individually as if we are the only child He has……  He also speaks to us as His body so we may overcome any obstacles and snares from the enemy and complete His purpose.

As the body of Christ, we stand firm in prayer, bind what needs binding and loose what needs loosing- like the strength of God, courage, boldness, perseverance, faith- the Spirit of the Lord within us!……. May God hear us to  change hearts, all things are possible….

Sometimes things are allowed to happen, so we may get out of our rut of existing. We live and get on with our days and our fire of the Lord slowly diminishes.  The soul takes over to runs us and our spirit man is yelling: Help, help! I am suffocating with out My Lord’s words and voice. I am getting too small…. Help me……I am drowning in vanity…. I am starving for the Food from heaven.

So if we entered eternity now as we are with the Lord…. so where is the T.V.? Where is the iphone and other gagdets, if we are living in eternity now?  Where is the malls, sports arenas? Where are the time wasters in eternity….?  How are we living in the Truth? Are we partaking of heavenly orders and scenes from the godly counsel? Are we living in eternity now or are we still fixed and attached to earthly things?

For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit, ( Romans 8:5).

Yes, all habits can be broken  in three weeks. Godly habits can be firmly established as our needful foundation of life.

First week, we turn off earth and turn on heaven’s sound……It may be like trudging through snowdrifts, but the way is pure and will make us strong in the Spirit. We may feel the pings of old loves, but the pings get softer as the week goes on….

We live in His eternity, where we belong. Our spirit man is stronger for the sacrifice. We are content and satisfied more than we have been before.  Our sleep is sweeter and we hear His voice clearer. The doubt of Who is speaking is diminishing. There is the joy bubbling up within.

Week two of living from eternity. We look forward to going through the snowdrifts of purification. We enjoy what adventure the Holy Spirit has planned for our beautiful time together….. We enjoy the closeness of relationship and the secrets that are revealed.

Week three of living from eternity, we repent to Him of how we got so involved in timewasters. We are sorry for the sidetrack into a ditch we followed…. We ask our Heavenly Father to please help us to keep in His walk. We ask for discernment  in Your strength to overcome any hiccups that come to pull us away from our place with You in eternity.

Week four of living from eternity…..Distractions, problems and even blessings come to steer us away from our place with Him in eternity…… We notice right away, the tension, the lack of peace and stop……We breath and know immediately —– ahhhh….. I am  leaving my place with You in eternity…. They can wait, but I will not keep You waiting….. First I follow my heart to You- You have become my all and You are My everything…..All else is put in it’s proper place, even sleep.

Father, show us Your heart. May we see Your heart today and hold it as precious as You hold ours…. May we grow in the fear of the Lord by Your grace and mercy.

May Your plans be our goal, our focus, our life….. May we realize the awesome opportunity You have bestowed on us, Your sons and daughters to pray in You and from Your heart, so things to be bound are and what You want loosed are in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. May we see the reality of the place You have called us and placed us….. May we not be the sons and daughters desiring something beside our Father’s business.

All things are possible, the changing of any tide. The hearts of the Lord’s people in this country turning off the earth to hear from heaven.  May we return to the place where we reborn in His Spirit in God… May we come back to live where we came from, eternity…. the kingdom of heaven.  His children live and breath His word. They are heaven focused and will not let the fire of God diminish from their spirits…..

But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance. Like wise the Spirit, also in our weaknesses. For we do no know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered, (Romans 8:25-26).

The revival that is often spoken about, sung about and prayed about….. starts within us first… God already revived us by His Spirit. His fire is burning bright if we are close to Him, if we are far, the fire gets dimmer …. When we turn off the earthly distractions and mean business, the Fire of His Spirit is kindled to burn again…..  When we turn off the earthly distractions it must not be only for a couple of nights or days or months but for life….. A lifestyle of being set apart as His disciples….. Do what we must  to get back to          obedience and knowledge of His voice….. Then we know for certain the revival has started within and the flames will spread…..

What no football season this fall?  Tell me what is more important at this time? Game time or His time in prayer? Who is the word of God speaking to  when Jesus Christ is referring to the days of Noah? Why does He refer to Himself as a thief? Is it life  as usual, as though there have been no signs?

What is the life lived by His people?…..Can we afford to keep  a deaf ear to the destruction that is coming? What needs to fall off as scales so we have eyes to see ?  What do we kill that our eyes seem to be focusing on instead of Him?   Do the signs demand a change to a life full of Him? The fullness of God which is our great need today.  Will  things  change here  on earth if we are not engaged in the business of heaven?

It is our choice to pray now or pay later…. Each heart chooses…..We will reap what we sow…..A life sown into the flesh or a life sown into the Spirit…… Earth or Heaven….

He is waiting for our reply and then our next move.

My choice, I rather be pushy with My Heavenly Father and  in Him move mountains….. It is exciting and adventurous…. Besides  working in My Father’s business is heaven!….. He made me for such a time as this…… YOU TOO!

It is because of the cross of Christ that His church will prevail….. What cross will we walk through to prevail in the Lord and be His body here?  As the Head is the body….

Do we lift our rod, the name of the Lord Jesus Christ,then see the waters part or not? Is it not the day the Lord spoke of in John 16:23-24,26-27: And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you. Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask and you will receive, that your joy may be full.

In that day you will ask in My name, and do I not say to you that I shall pray the Father for you; for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and have believed that I came forth from God.

Let’s get the job done on our knees- we already know what needs to be bound and what needs to be loosed…….First, let us loose our hold on earthly things and timewasters and bind our eyes and ears to the heart of our Heavenly Father….Let the Fire revive…..

What is in heaven should be in our lives…… What is not in heaven should not be apart of our lives…… Live unto the Lord with holy and pure lives in Him and for Him….Then through us and our prayers, our God will show up and show off ! The result: the mountains are removed and will no longer advance!

What times we live in; what great opportunity is before us from the kingdom of God…….

Are we ready? We are the temple of God……So, what else is in the temple?

 

Selah!

 

 

 

 

 

What will He see as He enters our places of worship, our homes, our hearts? A battalion ready for preparing His way? A host of disciplined children/ army in the Spirit standing on the Truth of the Word and knowing our warfare is spiritual and not carnal?…..Will we notice that He comes to embrace us? Will we know His embrace and His love for us?

Will He find us studying our navel’s? Attempting to try to fix ourselves still? Have we accepted our death on the cross and the reborn nature of God to be our strength in every weakness, which are a lot? As the Lord said, the flesh profits nothing. Are we the mighty men, ( women), of God, weak in ourselves but strong in Him? Strong in prayer, strong in faith and belief of convictions because we know He is within us?

What if  fighter pilots in our armed forces kept trying to  correct themselves in flight? Disaster magnified, right?  They rely on the skilled training of their superior officers and the radar that sees what they don’t….What if they were flying they thought, hmmm….. Can I do this manuever, what if I do it wrong? Maybe I didn’t get my patience to work yet….. Maybe I ,I, I, I, I….It is not about I, or me or my……. It is about Him, the RADAR, He will guide and lead us…. He works His work through us in flight/ faith.

No, it would be a disaster to let that mindset of doubt and self focus behind our fighter jets….. Our mind set has to be on our Lord, a fixed gaze, so we are looking and calling HIM, HIM, HIM, HIM! Listening for our next step and move….listening for His heart to know what to pray and walk out in faith, not just for us, for the body of Christ, the nations…..Complete our mission from His plan. He will enable us to be all we need to be-in Him- for Him to accomplish His purpose….

The pilot relies on his or her training and the discipline of the school. As we are to also rely on our training, the word of God, and lean heavily on the Holy Spirit within, to complete the mission…… It is not about us and trying to fix ourselves…. What if Gideon’s army of three hundred started to stop to question themselves and lost focus on God’s instructions for the coming battle? The battle is not up to ourselves, our God fights our battles… All we have to do to is go to the front lines, follow His instructions and stand in our belief that the mountain will be moved. The walls will fall down because of the name we call on that is above all others, Jesus Christ.

Our fight is on our knees. Our discipline is to stay in prayer and faith knowing that all we have asked and believed our God for will be accomplished. Do not let go of Him until righteousness has budded forth from His hand….. Do not give up. Do not give in. It will take all perseverance and true grit to remain in prayer and wait in faith. But He will answer, because He rewards our faith.

Do we have the discipline? Do we have the perseverance? Do we have the guts to stand through the trials of our Lord Jesus? The trials that come to us are for us to bear the same reproach as our Lord. We do not in ourselves have anything to make it, but He in us, all things are possible….. It’s HIM>

DO WE STAND IN FAITH IN OUR GOD KNOWING THAT WE HAVE ASKED THE MOUNTAIN BE MOVED INTO THE SEA AND IT WILL?

Do we need a committee before we pray, or do we just pray- talk to our Heavenly Father as we would our own earthly father or friend? Have we experienced the sweet taste of answered prayers in our life with our God as our Heavenly Father? How sweet the taste of victory when we know how our God hears our cries and by declaring the name of the Lord Jesus Christ- which every knee has to bow….. The enemy is silenced and removed….. How sweet the victory….How great the mission joined with our God.

A man came from Defence of the Bible to Mr. Spurgeon and asked him to become vice president of the organization. Mr. Spurgeon’s reply, My dear brother does a lion need defending? Just loose Him, and that it all that is necessary………Amen! Our faith looses our God.

What if one day, your earthly father called you….( Now if your earthly father was not okay, pretend or use a godly superior in place.) He calls you and said, hi son or daughter, I want you to know how I love you so, more than this world….. But I have to let you know they have locked me away here. They have barred my way…… We think how could they do that?

Then we would ask, who did this? So we would confront them, right? Hey, let my father out….. right? He never answers but shows you where he is….. A hospital.. They have locked him in a room in the hospital, so he cannot do anything. They have barred HIS way!

Now, what would we do, if we could? In the flesh, we would probably handle it, but this is more a spiritual matter…. A hospital represents the church…. So who would “they” be that barred our God?

Yes, again they tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel. They did not remember His power: the day He redeemed them from the enemy,          ( Psalm 78:41-42).

When He had come to His own country, He taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said, Where did this Man get this wisdom and these mighty works?

Now He did not do many works there because of their unbelief, ( Matthew 13:54,58).

And when He come into the house, the blind men came to Him. And Jesus said to them, Do you believe that I am able to do this? They said to Him, Yes, Lord. Then He touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith let it be to you,        ( Matthew 9:28-29).

The way we persevere  through our faith and experience of our Lord is by living with Him. The reason we will fly another mission is because the last one He brought us through. Not by our might, skill or power but by the Spirit of the Lord. But one important key to victory is our experience of hearing the Lord’s instructions as we are in flight so we obey above all. It is always, Yes Sir!

We first learn His discipline within ourselves then He takes us into the fighting arena of the heavenlies, always with Him… We have been tested on our skills of our faith to call on His name and stand, knowing the enemy has to back off and submit to the name that is above all names…..the Lord Jesus Christ.  The fight is not ours…..

It is not our great dialogue of words, it is One Name that is above all powers in all nations….. The Lord Jesus Christ, our King of glory.

We could not get off the ground in any plane without the engine, right? Well, the engine is the Holy Spirit within us. We have to be in His Holy Spirit School…… We have to be trained in His discipline, the Lord’s discipline…..His ways are triumphant. So we follow His ways, right? Right!

We are the Lord’s army. Any army waits for the  direct orders before any move. The enemy of darkness has his rank and file also….Who’s army is more diligent?

The Lord’s ways would put our American Admirals and Generals in a head spin….. March around the city for seven days and the walls will fall down….. Go up against a giant with 5 stones and a sling…… Take down a tremendous army with only three hundred men and some torches and broken lanterns. A warrior and his armor bearer took down 20 men in ½ an acre of land in the enemy’s camp. Also, go this way around the mulberry bushes! They all triumphed in battles because they obeyed and in faith went forward.

Faith is stronger than any man made artillery. If you question that, ask any military officer that has returned from war and stood on Psalm 91.  We have the strongest weapon in our quip, if we get up and move out of comfort into the adventure of God.

He has a plan, we are either helping it manifest or helping His enemy. Someone very wise said, for evil to triumph, all that has to be done is good men do to nothing. Our something is by all prayer and supplications let our request be known unto God!

All of these victories written in the word were because they knew God was with them. They either followed the orders, or took a leap of faith, that with God, they can achieve the victory for God’s camp, even if they were out numbered.

This is such a time that we can live the word of God out before us….Let’s let GOD out of the box that we have put Him…… by our unbelief…. Let us repent and get our work out in our faith muscles…. It will hurt for a while, but will produce the fruit our Heavenly Father is seeking!  He loves to reward those of faith for it is written: But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him, (Hebrews 11:6).

All is possible with God, even with us as His army! He is the Force and the Power, we are His broken lanterns illuminating His Light. So the sooner we leave trying to fix ourselves and get into rank and file. He will make His motley crew into His faithful witnesses…. It is not about us being perfect but mature in the knowledge of God….

The knowledge of God is the beginning of all wisdom and fear of the Lord. The help is not from our past, it is gone by His blood. The help is not in our stockpiling for the future, our days are numbered and belong to Him. He is our future and our Exceedingly Great Reward. Do we believe He has us in His hands? Do we truly?

He who descended is also One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things. And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and some teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, ( Ephesians 4: 10-13).

We will be perfected by Christ, not to be perfect in our selves, but to be filled up with Him as our fullness, His perfection reigns in and through us!

Should we start to see the reality of our situation by keeping God in a box or the place that we feel comfortable in keeping Him. Do we dare to allow Him to intrude past Sunday mornings and bible study on Wednesday’s into our lives? Dare we, humbly ask Him to forgive us for not allowing Him to reign over us ?   Not allowing Him to work His work in us?  Do we mean business with the Lord of hosts?

Are we are willing to sacrifice and forego T.V., fun times, sports, games, shopping, sleep, to be available when He needs us on our knees? Do we mean business on changing the course for the Lord’s people or not?

Do we leave what is vain and go join His rank? Do we wonder if Satan is laughing at his succesful plot to keep the Lord’s people distracted, especially the youth, with all the technology available? Evil’s plot of being so busy, that there is nothing left for God in our hearts, minds, let alone our lives….. is  B- being ,U- under, S- Satan’s, Y- Yoke…..Hmmmmm.

The mighty men and women who will follow the lead of the Holy Spirit by faith as His army will achieve great exploits for His glory. Hey, sometimes we do not need to leave our home, but we have to leave the earthly distractions and be available…. What is important?

Allowing our Heavenly Father and His Spirit reign in our lives to spread victories for future generations by removing the mountains today ? He entered into time to capture us, and gave us life beyond time…….Is He due our time?

Our justification to do this or that to waste time will slow our progress. Being honest here regarding this country, do we have time to waste or is it time to tighten our belt straps and roll up our sleeves like our nation’s predecessors? Do we see the signs of the times?

Look what sacrifice this country was built on. Ponder the great faith that simple men and women stood for to start the nation of America knowing God will take care of them. He made a way for them even through hardship because to stay where they were, they refused!…… Do we stand in that great faith now? God has not changed! God was not put in a box by their unbelief, we all thank God for those mighty people that ventured out to find a way to worship God in a new land.

When Jesus walked the earth, it was quite noted, that most of the faith that He encountered and was astounded were outside the Israelites…… Jesus Christ also stated, when He returns will He find faith on this earth?

Was this comment  made by Jesus  for us to ponder regarding us today? Would His own people, believers of King of kings, Christ Jesus, loose their faith,hope, and belief as the Israelites did when He walked the earth?

As Peter said, be it not so, Lord!

Or we can go on as business as usual as the Lord spoke in Noah’s day….. Or we can awaken to the signs of the times and make a way for the generations to follow to live in peace in worshiping our God and His only Begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ…..

Jesus Christ died and so did we with Him on the cross over two thousand years ago…Do we live in the newness of His life so the truth of God is confirmed in us. We die daily but we also grow in the newness of His life daily.  Our death to our ways is progressive as His growth in us. What does that look like in real life?

Die to controlling our lives and live unto His. Die in our comfortable life, turn to Him for our only Comfort. Die to being king of our compartmental lives, allow Him to govern our mornings, afternoons, nights, evenings, nights and even our weekends!!!! Die to doing what we want, when we want, and live unto the Great Rewarder in trust.

Die to our self image to others, allow Him to fill us with His image. Die to our fear of men and live to the Great Audience of One! Die to our foolish plans of the future and trying to control, allow Him to be our Inheritance and Future. If we have been given everything we need today, He will so do the same tomorrow, by our trust and faith in Him. Die to trusting our own intelligence and reasoning mind, allow God to be our mind in Christ….

Are we living as the Word of God instructs, God being number ONE….. If Paul or Daniel came to our home today….. what would their response be- pleased or shocked by our life style? Well, One greater is in our midst, do we see Him? Let’s really make time to make the Word of God our Food and Sustenance instead concern of food for the body alone.

Die to the fear of loosing our health, allow the Healer to live in us to restore our health and our souls.

Die to the fear of death, as Christ Jesus stole death and has the keys, so we can live free in Him, escaping the second death……So there is no fear in the first, if we trust Him.

ALL THIS REFLECTS OUR FAITH OR LACK OF>>>>> DO WE LIVE IN FEAR SO OUR REACTIONS ARE FEAR BASED WHICH ARE EVIL’S DIRECTIONS?

DO WE LIVE BY OUR FAITH IN THE ONE WHO LIVES  AND REIGNS FOREVER !!! THE ONE WHO HAS US IN THE PALMS OF HIS HANDS AND OUR NAMES ARE INSCRIBED ON HIS HEART….. DO WE BELIEIVE IN HIS EVERLASTING LOVE? DO WE BELIEVE HE WILL KEEP US?

THEN IF YES> call on Him, we pray and we stand for You to bring Your plan, Heavenly Father, to fruition in the lives of Your people.

Every time, we want to complain or gab about the state of affairs, let us turn to prayer…. Let our words count and not be idle… Let us go to the One who is the Controller and Ruler of all men and their doings. The hearts of the kings are in His hand and He determines what course they will take as written in Proverbs.

In prayer, we ask and thank our Father, that evil has to submit to the authority of the name of Jesus Christ. His evil works are bound by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Thank You, Father as darkness raises his ugly head, You already have a plan. May we have ears to hear and a heart to understand to  follow You in faith. We stand our ground knowing that the name of Jesus Christ every knee has to bow and submit.The plans and works of evil are bound and will not prosper…. So we thank You and need You. Help us keep the focus on heavenly things, knowing that You have heard our prayer and evil is bound and backing away.

We love You, Heavenly Father. We are sorry that we put You in a locked room with our unbelief… Father, please help our unbelief….. Teach us to increase our faith so we are prepared and fully equipped with the prayer knowledge that is needed for the times we live….. In Jesus Christ’s name, we ask and pray… Give us the strength to keep close, so close we hear You and know Your great embrace…. Give us eyes to see You are here with us…. You have entered! Give us the ears to capture Your words. Give us Your strength so we are strong to carry Your instructions out and complete our mission. In Jesus Christ’s name, we ask and thank You. We love You.

The  Holy Spirit speaks, let us hear what He has to say: Let Him OUT! Equip our faith in our mighty God! Hear Him roar!

Selah!

P.S. When Jesus entered the temple and overthrew the money changers. He did not say, It is written My house shall be a house of preaching  or a house of teaching. He called His house a house of prayer for all nations….. it was allowed to be made into a den of thieves…. Our Father is looking for worship in Spirit and Truth- communion with Him, which is a life of prayer to Him, where He is – is the Kingdom of God……( Mark 11:17). We are His temple now as stated in 2 Corinthians.

This is an urgent warning to His people today……… Loose our God in our hearts and lives….Let Him loose, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, will take care of business through us!
