Seek the Lord…

Gods-Invitation-to-Intimacy-627x376

Good Tueday Morning.

I’m going keep my words brief because the Word of God is lengthy today. I don’t want to take anything away from it. I leave you with this word today. “Seek the Lord, while he may be found.”

Isaiah 55

Living Bible (TLB)

55 Say there! Is anyone thirsty? Come and drink—even if you have no money! Come, take your choice of wine and milk—it’s all free! Why spend your money on food that doesn’t give you strength? Why pay for groceries that do you no good? Listen and I’ll tell you where to get good food that fattens up the soul!

Come to me with your ears wide open. Listen, for the life of your soul is at stake. I am ready to make an everlasting covenant with you, to give you all the unfailing mercies and love that I had for King David. He proved my power by conquering foreign nations.  You also will command the nations, and they will come running to obey, not because of your own power or virtue, but because I, the Lord your God, have glorified you.

Seek the Lord while you can find him. Call upon him now while he is near. Let men cast off their wicked deeds; let them banish from their minds the very thought of doing wrong! Let them turn to the Lord that he may have mercy upon them, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon! This plan of mine is not what you would work out, neither are my thoughts the same as yours! For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than yours, and my thoughts than yours.

10 As the rain and snow come down from heaven and stay upon the ground to water the earth, and cause the grain to grow and to produce seed for the farmer and bread for the hungry, 11 so also is my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It shall accomplish all I want it to and prosper everywhere I send it. 12 You will live in joy and peace. The mountains and hills, the trees of the field—all the world around you—will rejoice. 13 Where once were thorns, fir trees will grow; where briars grew, the myrtle trees will sprout up. This miracle will make the Lord’s name very great and be an everlasting sign of God’s power and love. 

I love you with an Everlasting Love. Please enjoy the worship video, found at the bottom of the page, performed by Phillips, Craig and Dean entitled, “Come, Now is the Time to Worship.”

Prayer Changes Things…

Good morning and Happy Monday,

God is so good. It’s Monday morning and that means it is time to pray.

Why do we pray every day? The reason is that we want to set the tone and the atmosphere for the Spirit of the Living God to dwell with us and guide us according to the will of God.

Our prayers give honor to God. Our prayers remind us that God’s will is always supreme. Our prayers help us to come into alignment with God’s will. We ask God, as we go throughout our day, to protect us from all hurt, harm and danger that comes from the enemy.

This is how Jesus told his disciples to pray:

Matthew 6:5-15

Living Bible (TLB)

“And now about prayer. When you pray, don’t be like the hypocrites who pretend piety by praying publicly on street corners and in the synagogues where everyone can see them. Truly, that is all the reward they will ever get. But when you pray, go away by yourself, all alone, and shut the door behind you and pray to your Father secretly, and your Father, who knows your secrets, will reward you.

7-8 “Don’t recite the same prayer over and over as the heathen do, who think prayers are answered only by repeating them again and again. Remember, your Father knows exactly what you need even before you ask him!

“Pray along these lines: ‘Our Father in heaven, we honor your holy name. 10 We ask that your kingdom will come now. May your will be done here on earth, just as it is in heaven. 11 Give us our food again today, as usual, 12 and forgive us our sins, just as we have forgiven those who have sinned against us. 13 Don’t bring us into temptation, but deliver us from the Evil One. Amen.’ 14-15 Your heavenly Father will forgive you if you forgive those who sin against you; but if yourefuse to forgive them, he will not forgive you.

Be blessed and know that I love you with an Everlasting Love.

Keep God in the Middle…

d8b52c6fd7336ec37a6cb9ddb287912c--have-faith-the-foundation

Good morning, Beautiful Ones:

Happy Friday!!

If it is Friday then you know what it means. We are about to Praise the Lord. I love ending the work week with a praise dance, Amen.

No matter what you went through this week, lay it at the feet of Jesus. When you give your cares, troubles and burdens to God, it then allows you to raise your hands to God and put him between you and any problem.  When we put God in the Middle of our circumstances, he has a way of working things out.

Remember, take your eyes off of the problem and look to God. He will stand in the Gap for you. Right in the middle of it.

Be encouraged by the scripture for today and this weekend, as it reads:

Psalm 34:1-3

Living Bible (TLB)

I will praise the Lord no matter what happens. I will constantly speak of his glories and grace. 2I will boast of all his kindness to me. Let all who are discouraged take heart. Let us praise the Lord together and exalt his name.

Send Me, Lord, I’ll Go…

Good morning, Precious Ones:

I pray that you have greeted God this morning and in return felt the Spirit surround you with peace.

I count it a joy and a privilege to be among the servants of God. What an honor it is for the God of ALL creation to tap you on the shoulder and say, “I need you.”

Whatever it is the Lord needs, I pray that our response will continuously be, “I’ll be the one, use me, for your Glory.”

Isaiah 6:8

New International Version (NIV)

8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”

Have a great day today. Shine Brightly.

Whom the Sons Sets Free…

Happy Hump Day. We have made it midway through our week. This morning, I woke up wanting to move my feet.

Initially, I was tapping my feet. Then I started moving my arms. I said, “Holy Spirit, it’s not Friday yet. I always play the fast, uptempo praise songs on Friday.” The Holy Spirit was so clear in saying, “My Love is limitless. Everyday is a good day to dance before me. I have given you liberty through my spirit. Don’t become regimented. Praise Me in the Dance.”

Galatians 5:1

New International Version (NIV)

Freedom in Christ

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

In light of the liberty and freedom we have in Christ, I invite you to dance before the Lord.

How GREAT is Our God…

Global Worship

Psalm 147:5-7

New Living Translation (NLT)

How great is our Lord! His power is absolute!
    His understanding is beyond comprehension!
The Lord supports the humble,
    but he brings the wicked down into the dust.

Sing out your thanks to the Lord;
    sing praises to our God with a harp.

From the north to the south. From California to Florida. From Greece to Russia.

Every color, every creed, every nation. Around the world there is continuous nonstop praises to God. When one time zone ends another begins their songs to heaven.

Have a blessed Tuesday. I love you with an AMAZING LOVE.

Like the Dew in the Morning…

ed3b1990e5a650ad67f5ad78b2e6ffd3--rain-drops-the-rain

Deuteronomy 32:1-4 

Contemporary English Version (CEV)

32 Earth and Sky,
    listen to what I say!
Israel, I will teach you.
My words will be like gentle rain
    on tender young plants,
    or like dew on the grass.

Join with me in praising
the wonderful name
    of the Lord our God.
The Lord is a mighty rock,
    and he never does wrong.
God can always be trusted
    to bring justice.

Good morning, Loved Ones:

God is just as great as He was yesterday. God is faithful in all he does. God is gracious and merciful in every decision he makes.

Let us pray.

Father God:

We come to you with our hearts filled with praise and our minds focused on you. Use us today for your glory. Your will be done, on earth and in us, as it has been spoken and decreed in heaven. 

Even though we may not always understand your ways, we will always trust you. We know that our thoughts are not your thoughts. Your ways are sure and your love is everlasting. 

Go with us, your children, today and order our steps according to your will and your way. 

In the matchless and powerful name of our Chief Intercessor, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer.

Amen.

No Weapons…

We are covered.

I know this week as been an emotional one, full of ups and downs. However, in order to stay connected with the Vine, it’s time to get our spirits built up and energized. What better way to that than by praising God with a dance, this morning.

What does it mean to be covered by God?

It means knowing that NO spiritual weapons or traps will  be victorious in trying to destroy us.

Stay Close

It means that if we stay close to God that we will know what is coming. God always gives us a heads-up of the enemy’s plan, so that we can take out battle places and be ready.

Be Ready

If God puts on your heart to fast and pray for a few days or to go into a deeper level of Worship, there is a reason. He is trying to prepare and position you to stand your ground.

With the right spiritual preparation we become Bulletproof.  Amen

Isaiah 54:17

Contemporary English Version (CEV)

17 Weapons made to attack you
    won’t be successful;
words spoken against you
    won’t hurt at all.

My servants, Jerusalem is yours!
I, the Lord, promise
    to bless you with victory.

Redeemed, Case Closed…

Good morning and Happy Wednesday:

I hope this morning finds you in a state of happiness, gratefulness and joy. I know with so much going on in the world today, we sometimes forget about the war we have already won.

Before becoming a Christian, we made a very important decision. One day we decided that we desired to have a relationship with Jesus, the Christ.  What that decision meant is that our souls would forever be saved and after we transition from this life unto the next, we get to spend eternity in heaven with God.

What does it mean to have a soul that is Redeemed?

Colossians 1:12-14

New International Version (NIV)

12 and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light.13 For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

To be redeemed means that someone has paid a great price for someone else’s debt. The charge has been dismissed and one who was earlier in bondage is now free.

Take heart in knowing that as a child of God, when you say, “Yes” to Jesus, you say to freedom.

I love you, with an AMAZING LOVE,
