GROWN-UP ENOUGH!

Did you ever think? "Have I grown-up, matured, enough to realize it is not man who nourishes me or fulfills my inner needs and desires? It is the Holy Spirit Himself. He is all I need. He is enough!"

Psalm 43
Send Forth your light and Your truth let them guide us. Let them bring me to Your holy mountain to the place where You dwell.

Psalm 40
A prayer for protection! And one to reinforce in what God is asking of each of us. Verse: 6 Sacrifice and offering You did not desire "but ears you have pierced (so that we can lean upon you and hear your loving voice so that we will obey) burnt offerings and sin offerings you do not require (You have required us to give our hearts to you as a lover gives oneself to them.)

Verse: 7 To do Your will O my God is my desire Your law is written on our hearts so we are lead into all truth.

With this revelation, I continue my journaling in pursuit of you Lord, and to only maintain the Kingdom. (Righteousness/Peace/Joy in the Holy Ghost.) Within us is the treasure that is hidden from most men.

Mat 13:44.
How do I describe the Kingdom? To live in peace while others are in turmoil. To be calm where there is anxiousness. To be content and secure when things seem to be upside down. For where the spirit rests there is Peace/Joy/Righteousness and an inner knowing all is well with my soul.

Hebrews 12:4
Tells to not make light of the Lord's discipline nor loose heart. Discipline comes to those who are depending on Him to become His temple here on earth. We are drawn to Him because of His undivided love He gives to us!

Today we pray:
"Lord, bring us closer and deeper into Your sea of Love. Bathe us in Your presence. Make us whole! Lord, of one spirit we come in one accord with You, Your will. Lord, give us Your Wisdom, Righteousness, Peace and Joy. Fill us from within from this day forth. Amen!"

Destiny Through Grace

"Destiny Through Grace is upon you Now your Destiny is His Idea and it will be fulfilled"

There is a desire encoded in each of us when we are created unto destiny in God--it 's one of a divine nature. Depending on our life experiences, we get in touch with this desire in vastly different ways, but, as Scripture notes, the blueprints are with in us.

As it was in the Beginning, as it was in your heart from the very beginning of time. Your perfect design...was placed within you..so let it begin today!

"My frame was not hidden from you, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them" Psalm 139:15-16
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations." Jer 1:5

Jeremiah was no exception. Each one of us has a destiny of a divine nature that is wrapped up in God and binds us to Him, enabling us to walk it out as we pursue our relationship with Him. He wove it into our DNA as He formed us, even before we were in our mother's womb.

His Amazing Grace for our Destiny
Yes, we have heard it spoken many times from preacher to teacher of His Word, but has it really sunk in that we are born for greatness in God or we would not be on the earth as this time? He would not have covered us with His amazing grace if it were not so. If He had not done that, we would be loose as a goose--running every which way.

"Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now I am found
Was blind but now I see."

As we step into our destiny, we do it with this knowledge deeply embedded within us--that but if not for grace, we would surely perish along the way. That is why this destiny we move into is a divine nature. It will take the grace of His divine attributes to carry us into and through the process of seeing it accomplished. To become over comers it takes courage and leaning on Him in Faith.

"Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain! And he shall bring forth the capstone with shouts of 'Grace, grace to it" Zachariah 4:7 The capstone is Jesus.
"Thus says the Lord:'The people who survived the sword found grace in the wilderness--Israel, when I went to give him rest." Jer 31:2 "and now for a little while grace has been shown form the Lord our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a peg in His holy place, that our God may enlighten our eyes and give us a measure of revival in our bondage." Ezra 9:8

What we are about to step into is so great in relationship to the history of mankind, that He's had to "allure us to the wilderness," to show us who we are apart from His divine grace operating in and around us.

If you are reading this, most likely, you have survived the sword whether it is from poor choices or from the enemy, and you are presently finding grace (supernatural strength) in your wilderness.

This truly is the year for favor of the Lord in our lives. He WILL have His remnant. He is a man of integrity. He is about to "give us a measure of revival for survival," yes, even in our bondage, for we are never totally free. He is giving us eyes to see the beginnings of what is about to take His people by storm. As He pours out favor and grace upon us, angelic assistance is released to see the supernatural operating at a level we've not experienced until now. Our Faith will grow as a result, and our unbelief is being diminished.

This is all His idea. YOU and your destiny are His idea and He will see it through--even to the point that when you say to the mountain be moved, it will be moved.It will be moved.

Jesus is saying over you, "Grace, GRACE!" He is calling you out into your destiny for it is upon you now with abundant grace. Through you may have grown weary even in well doing, now is the time to take a deep breath with a leap of abandonment into what you know beats inside of you.

You have laid it down. You may have stepped back. You may have reined in your expectations, most likely from a lack of revelation of just how great this enabling grace of His is.
We need each other to speak into our destiny, to raise our arms, so to speak, when we have reached our end. But with the help of His Grace, your destiny will be fulfilled in a way that "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor has entered into your heart the thing which God has prepared for you." 1 Corinthians 2:9 (paraphrased).

You were born for this hour when destiny is calling you up and out. Up and out from within yourself and your circumstance and into the place where God has your boundaries and borders. Nothing less will get you there. It is impossible to please God without this kind of faith;without this kind of abandonment, and without the determination to set your eye on Him and Him alone. That is what gives us the ability to see through His eyes just what and where we are called to--above the limitations and the belief system of this earthly realm.

What you are called to is other than worldly it is supernatural in its very nature. "After these things I looked, and behold a door standing open in Heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, 'Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.'" Rev 4:1

We must see our destiny through His eyes. It is too great to imagine on our own. By His enabling grace, our eyes will be opened, and we will see into eternity to receive the faith to step into what He has called us to as He steps into us, so that it might be accomplished in us and through us.

Grace, grace...the power and supernatural strength that only comes from above! Grace the force to make happen in the natural that no one could do on his or her own. Grace, I call for it is grace that we all need. That is why it is written: "My grace is sufficient for you." All things are possible with the Grace of the Father in our very souls. In our minds and in our spirits! So into the presence of His Glory we go, Face to face with our Father, to bestow thanks and give Him the praise foe what He is about to do!

Continued from Harvest Time Luke 10

Sometimes we think people do not receive because we have not learned enough, or we are not filled with the Spirit enough…..or may be we think they have a problem, a hindrance Whatever! What a misnomer the Spirit of God is true and will manifest Himself wherever He pleases. This is not for us to judge or pass judgment! Our job is to get with God, build a solid relationship and plant ourselves deep in the roots of our Father's love then we will be a effective encouragement to others so that they may do the same. Luke 10 13-17.

Jesus even mentions that in the cities of Korazin, Bethsaida and Capernaum people did not receive Him or His Father. These were holy cities, people of God lived there. Therefore, they did not receive their healing most importantly they did not receive their right to heaven. As the scripture goes on, we are to get it deep within us that it is He whom they do not receive; it is not a personal rejection. They will be judged for their choices. It is most important for us to be obedient to our call and not judge others on the journey.

It is so exciting for me to know that Jesus left us with the authority and power to command healing and cast out demons! V18 tells us that Jesus gave us the authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to over come all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm us. Personally I hope I do not have to handle the reptile- or a poisons' spider. However, we can minister in confidence, that the Lord our God is in control and He will perform every good work through us and within us! For He does sit on the right hand of the Father continually interceding for us!

Beware, that the works that are performed through us as His hands are miniscule to the everlasting life we have in Him. Do not puff ones self up to be filled with pride, but be grateful knowing that He has shared with us the truths as mere children who love Him. Remembering first and foremost our salvation laid in the hand of our beloved Savior, Jesus. And it is through that faith we are able to carry on the works Jesus once did here on earth!

Blessings!

IT IS HARVEST TIME!

Luke 10: 1-12

As I sit on our front porch admiring our front lawn, my thoughts are on all the people who had a hand in producing such a plush lawn! It took many a people for the fruit of a luxurious lawn to come forth. Many of those people had not idea they had a hand into the final result. How many people that came into your life have no idea what they stimulated? Wither good or bad, the result was the Father's love producing YOU! Think on it!

October to me means Harvest Time! Pumpkins are out, hay rides for the family, apple picking—even apple pie and coco. Harvest Time! "The word tells us that the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few" The Scripture says "Ask the Lord of the Harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest field." The workers could be you and I or it could be the Holy Spirit ripening one's heart before you or I arrive on the scene.

"Go! I am sending you out like lambs among the wolves" That word "Go" could mean "go to your family, your church, or market place! It could mean all of the above. Wither the sending is people—angles or the Holy Spirit the sending is happening. We do nothing alone. God our Father has set up a team for us to work with. And it is up to us to work with His team.

V5 Goes on to tell us we are to minister where the Holy Spirit leads and where He is resting. Peace in the Spirit is most important. If Peace is not resting on them it will return to us. Have you had the experience of laying hand s on someone to have the Spirit fill us more then them. We begin to cry, laugh, and shake from head to toe? There seems to be a resistance of sorts happening! That is the time when the Spirit has lifted and they can not receive any more!

V7 Tells to stay eating and drinking…. Whatever they give you. Don't move around from house—Or not to minister to aliment to ailment. Another words, during the "interview", they will tell us their needs and we are to command healing with the resurrection power. The Holy Spirit will reveal things to them and if He doesn't we are to pray silently until the Spirit moves or lifts. V8 says Eat what is set before you… Do not ask for your delights receive what is before you. "The Kingdom of God is near you" The righteous, peace and joy of the Holy Ghost is here for your taking!

If you approach someone and you are not received "do not persist!" back off in love. Knowing that they rejected the Kingdom of God and not you! They have rejected their corner stone, Jesus.

Let us pray: Lords my heart is wide open to you. May these words go deep into my Spirit and be illuminated as the Spirit instructs…For the harvest is at hand and I am the laborer who is instructed by the Holy Spirit's lead.
More to come…

It's Your Love

It's amazing how freely we are to judge the world in which we live.  Sin is rampart all around us--free sex, gambling, drinking, cursing, not being good providers, not nurturing our children properly,  and the list goes on etc.etc. 

 

Then the Lord calls out to us "I shall make 'My' enemies 'My' footstool"  To some the enemies could be those obvious sins we see, with our eyes, in the world at large.  Yet today I believe the Holy Spirit is taking us into a deeper level.  "What is your participation in sin? Do you vote for it? condone it? Ah, your heart, where is it?  Are you pre-occupied with TV shows, news, games, magazines?

 

As we seek and pursue the things of God we must be conscience of the Heart of God in our lives.  His pulsating love made ready--flowing out toward us)

 

"Make the world go away-place your head on My shoulder, Say the things you use to say, and make the world go away!"  I know these are words to a very old song... Yet they seem appropriate.  beloved, Jesus is call and singing those words to us, today.  We were created minister to the Groom!  To love and sing adoration's to Him our maker.

 

If you find yourself judging things and people around you, you are probably being called to a higher place....  Judge and be judge!  Love and be loved!

If you are seeking, knocking, and leaning into the spirit realm for more, say this prayer with me.

 

Father, I (we) are so desperate for Your loving embrace.........Cone in like a flood, knock me over, over take me with Your love.  Let the water of Your Word erase all the guilt and shame.  Replace it all with Your amazing Grace.  I thank you for it is Your love that will bring me to a new level of healing, a new level of maturity, a new level of living in Christ Jesus.

Grovey Kind Of Love

Jesus', purpose in life, was to live a lifestyle that was pleasing to the Father.  His ultimate goal was to open the communication path from us to the Father directly!  So Jesus made a way so we could be intimate with God the Father! He died for our wrong doings!  Once this way is established, (the way our personal salvation through Jesus), we enter our first and foremost call--a personal intimate relationship with God our Father.  All the trash in our lives does not matter.  All that matters is that we pursue a relationship with Him.  As time progresses, those things will fall to the wayside!

 

2 Corinthians 6:2  For God says, "At just the right time, I heard you. On the day of salvation, I helped you." Indeed, God is ready to help you right now. Today is the day of salvation.

 

As we get to 'know' His acceptance, and 'receive' His loving kindness in a safe ca-coon He provides, we begin to grow and flourish.  Our whole life changes, our goals, aspirations, intentions everything about us begins a Metamorphose  process. 

 

When life seems gray and everything and everyone seems to be crashing down what do you do? I take a journey back into memory lane.  Here is a piece of my reminiscing with my Father.

 

I return to that day of blessing as a seven year old running freely and dancing about in Your presence. I could almost feel your warm smiling face shinning upon me on my first communion day. I could have danced all day knowing that You would be my friend forever. 

 

Then again, I returned to you as an adult rehearsing the guilt, shame and the torment of sin and sickness.  But never-the-less, I came running and You opened Your arms wide receiving again as you did when I was seven. 

 

WoW, as I think upon those times I feel relief, refreshed, replenished and the infilling of your Love continues to bring me into a deeper freedom.  Lord today, I run to you--dancing at the waters' edge rejoicing in advance ready to receive a greater measure of Your Transforming Love!

 

Your presence, is a source of all healing!  Your presence is ultimately all we need! If you are feeling

 

Pray this prayer with me:

 

I will trust in the Lord with all my heart and lean not on my understanding or any man's understanding.  In all my ways I will acknowledge and testify to all He has done in my life....And I know that He will make my path according to His purpose for my life!  Amen Amen 

Proverbs 3 :5,6

Shaking Loose!

I began reading Isaiah 22:8-11 and began thinking on what all of that meant for us today!  Then it began to flow out of my innards'!   

All of our defenses have been stripped away!  So we run into the safe place to be equipped.  We take inventory and inspect for defects and assess our needs.  We store up water and rebuild ourselves.  Notice WE did everything….   Auh!  All our foolish deeds to correct and make whole on our own are done in no avail…  We never ask God for help until we have to other alternative.  Our Father knows our ways and deeds before they ever happen and He prepares for us a place of escape.

Yea, yea, yea, my soul wines and complains….this is not it at all!   Instead of going up to the mountain of the Almighty I run to a friend (whatever).  Instead of reaching out to the Spirit's wellspring I empty my cistern into a love ones ear.  But the water of the Lord is not only refreshing and renewing it is filled with the Father's Loving embrace. 

He has reminded us to weep and mourn for our very souls.  Calling out to us to reposition ourselves, make a shift, and make a change!  Turn from our old stinking-thinking ways.  Instead of reaching out for the new life we carry on in "sin" we keep on doing the same old….the same old is sin if it is taking us slowly and surly away from God's embrace and friendship.  We continue with 'church' as usual and repeat our rituals, prayers, deeds and celebrate our holidays with no heart felt expression toward God or toward His people. 

Jesus is crying out "Run toward me, there you will find rest for your souls and there you will find peace of mind, there you will find solutions to all of your dilemmas."  As we run, we will find that those things will fall to the way side and we will continue to gain momentum into His Presence and into His Will.

Then I was lead….Lamentations 5:8 (according to Dianne) Sin has become our masters and we are so deceived and think that there is no one left to rescue us?

Take a step into His presence…He is saying "I the Lord have made you and I will not forget to help you.  I will sweep away your sins like the morning mists.  I have scattered your offenses like the clouds.  Return to me for I have paid the price to set you free! There is nothing like the Blood of Jesus to set us FREE! (Isaiah 44: 21-22 according to Dianne)
