Psalm 63:1-3 "O God, You are my God; early will I seek You; my soul thirsts for You in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water. So I have looked for You in the sanctuary, to see Your power and Your glory. Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise You."
My Lord, how I love to praise Your name. My heart worships You constantly when I am awake, and I know my spirit must be worshiping when I am sleeping as when I wake up, I have words of worship on my lips. That is the beginning of each day my Lord. I worship You to begin my day in You. I want to make sure You know that I am seeking after You, searching for You before my day begins. I want to remind You that I have no other God but You, that there is nothing else on my mind but serving You. You will be told how much I depend on You, that I rely on You for everything my day will hold. You will be asked once again to go before me and clear my pathways of any snares of the enemy. I depend on Your loving kindness to me for each day. I ask You to help me with my work, I want to do my work as unto You, I want to please You as I go through my day and can only do so with Your help.
Before the day gets started, Lord, I want to make sure that I am in Your thoughts, that You know I am here and I need You to feel my love. It seems like forever since I have talked to You, that is how I feel each morning. Even though during the night when I awake, I praise Your name and give You expressions of my love. I feel this is very important, I know it is to me, and I want to spend every waking moment worshiping You, my Jesus.
This week is so hard for me, Lord. It should be hard for everyone that loves You so much. I glory in the resurrection, but before that, before You fulfilled all prophesy about Your rising again, there is the suffering and pain you took because of me, all of us that love You. It tears at my heart when I think that you were beaten, mocked, spit on, humiliated....for my sin. My Lord, how my soul cries out to You in shame and begging forgiveness everytime I read the scriptures telling the next few days. I know my sins have been forgiven, but I can not help but want to undo the things I have done, the things You died for. I feel like Peter now, wanting to undo what had been planned before. And now I need to ask forgiveness again, for I should know that what You did was for the santification of us all. The redeeming of our lives to the Father. There are times I can feel the pain of rejection from some people that don't understand wholly why I worship like I do, why I follow after you. And my feeling rejected doesn't compare to the rejection You felt from the Father when you took our sins, my sins. I was reading again. It hurts so much to read the words written but I read them, I never want to forget what You did for me, what you suffered for me. I want it written on my heart as a reminder of Your love, a love I will probably never completely understand, but am so grateful and blessed to have. That love is just Who You are. I long to understand You more, to get so close to You that I won't know where I leave off and where You begin.
I know to do this I must constantly seek after You, to learn more about You by reading Your Word, yielding myself to the Holy Spirit for His teaching and guiding. He will draw me into the knowledge of You, He will share with me Your wisdom. I know I must love others unconditionally and I always, always must love my Lord above all. I know I will get there, it is that important to me that I am with You. I want to be that spotless, cleansed bride that You will return for.
After my day, Lord Jesus, I want to go to rest but first I want to thank You for being with me the day, I want to praise You for all the things You blessed me with. I want to ask You to search my heart and let me know if there is anything there that I need to get out of me, I will need You to help me here. I don't want to close my eyes with anything that is unpleaseing to You in me. After we do these things, I will lift my voice to You in worship, glorifing You for Who You are, only because of who You are. Worship the Lord of Lords, drawing on You to come, pour Your presence out all around me, all over me, Your presence that is life to me. Then Lord, I know there will be some petitions of prayer to You. So many friends, family, ill and with needs, and I know I will be lifting them up to you, asking You to bless their lives. To be with them, letting them know that You are there on their behalf. And then I will worship until You reach down and draw my eyes shut, breath Your sweet breathe of rest upon my body and I sleep.
Before the day, after the day, starting and finishing in the same place, in worship to You. There is no other way for me to live, for this is what I do, Lord, this is what You made me to do. Worship you from my heart. I will worship You each and every day, night, every breath I take will be of worship to You. I desire only You Lord. This 17th day of April, 2011, before the day and after the same, I 'll be loving You and giving You all my worship.

TRANSCENDING LOVE
Hebrews 3:3-4 "Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself. For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything."
I just spent the last two hours watching a movie. A love story, about a boy, a girl, and a house. I had not watched this movie for years, I don't watch many movies, much less love stories. It would just make me remember I am alone, all alone. But tonight as I watched, it was different. I knew it would be sad, beautiful but sad, but I was drawn to watch it. The title doesn't matter as real love stories have the basic beginning and true love has the same ending. The important thing here is the way the movie was played out to me. Some might tell me I am too spiritual minded for any good, but I don't think the Lord thinks so and what He thinks is what is most important to me. He likes me like I am, He is the one that has built the house I am in to be just like this, at this time in my life. He wants my mind to always be fixed on Him and the things of Him. That way, it makes Him the honored one in this house that is me.
What my Lord showed me was myself at an early age, falling so in love with Him. I can remember loving the Lord, reading my Bible, singing to Him. Not as I am now, but what was capable of myself at that age, and the understanding I had. Probably had I been in a spirit filled church at that age, things might have been different as my knowledge of Him would have been deeper but things were what they were then. But I loved the Lord as I best knew how. Then He showed me how circumstances took me from Him, never His doing, my own. My own lack of understanding. Oh, this is so hard, I am so touched by His love and presence, but this is what He has given me for this night. To share with you.
While I was absent from Him, He showed how He began to form the house I would finally occupy. The Lord showed me that even though I was not thinking of Him, He never lost sight or thoughts of me. He began to build a foundation that I could stand on that would not weaken when I needed strength. He showed me the walls that were made of glass, so that I could not hide away from Him when I needed His understanding and cleansing most. He could always see inside me and I would always be able to know He was there. He showed me the vault, my heart, where He would pour love that would transcend anything I had every known. Transcend, to go beyond the limits or powers of anything I would know. This love would be higher or greater than anything I had ever known possible. And it was His gift to me. He showed me His blood, the very blood that He would shed for me, that blood that would guarantee my return to Him for eternity.
My Lord showed me my return, the beginning difficult, as I was torn between what I knew and what He wanted me to know. I had so many ideas of what love was, how can one be so ...the only word I can come up with is stupid, but my Lord doesn't like that word. He would prefer I use naive. But I did not really know what love was. He had to teach me. He had to teach me how to love Him. See, I thought I had to do something, to prove I was worth His sacrifice, and I kept trying and I kept failing. So the beginning was a little rough, like this love story tonight. A little stormy, heartaches, failures, misunderstandings. But my Lord never gave up. Kind of like the movie guy. He never gave up, kept trying, kept building, working on the relationship in his heart until it was shared. My beautiful Lord, He never gave up on me, He kept working on this house for me, knowing one day I would occupy it, I would fit in it perfectly.
He taught me about transcending love. A love that is so much greater, so much more than you can imagine real. My patient Lord, the Lover of my soul, taught me that real love requires no action, no trying, there is nothing to do for it, nothing to work on; this love that transcends all else is just heartfelt. It grows in the heart through being loved in return. From a love that shows you it is not going anywhere no matter what you do, how you behave, how you reject it; it never stops, never leaves and is always just given to you.
For nothing I have done, but everything Jesus has done. My Lord, my precious love, never once did You leave me, never once did You stop loving me. I just did not understand that love, that depth, that sacrifice of love You had for me. You have stopped at nothing to win me, to draw me to You, to have me for Your own. Jesus, my Jesus...You waited for me. You built the house and waited until I could see only You. Then You showed me what was built for only me. You showed me that no one could occupy this house but me, and You. For this house is only a house without You in it. You are the honored occupant of the house that makes it what it is. I am here because You love me and this is what You do when You love, You build the house, You place Your beloved in the house, and then You dwell there with them as they love and worship only You.
Well, the love story ended with a love that would never die. Old in age, the couple's love would never leave them again. My Lord showed me as it was ending, that He would love me always and knew I would always be His. He said our love would never end, in fact, He said it was actually only beginning. One day soon, He would return for me, I would leave this earthly house He built for this time, this place, for the beginning of our transcending love and He would take me to another house that He has built for me. This one would be more glorious than the earthly one, as it would be for eternity, centered around His throne.
My precious love, I worship You. I thank You for this house You built. I thank You that You seal it with Your love and protection daily. There is so much joy here but I know there is more to come. This 16th day of April, 2011, You have taught me to love, to love You with transcending love.

RESTORATION
Psalm 69: 35 "For God will save Zion and build the cities of Judah, that they may dwell there and possess it."
The Lord showed me this verse like this: "For God will save Zion (His people) and rebuild the cities (our hearts) of Judah (worship on earth). That they may dwell there (in His presence) and possess it (His peace and blessings).
What a revelation this was to me. The Lord will save us from our religions, our mind-sets that have been instilled in us from an early age. These mind-sets are so hard for some to overcome. Raising hands to praise the Lord, worshiping with songs from your hearts, so hard for some to do. To get by what years in structured religious services have taught them. The Lord wants to unteach you these things. He desires pure heartfelt worship from His children. He will save us from these mind-sets.
Father wants to rebuild the cities - our hearts - into what His heart desires from us. Worship. The Lord wants us to worship Him uninhibited and free. There is such freedom when you begin to sing from your heart unto the Lord. Just let the Holy Spirit lead you into worship. The Holy Spirit knows just what the Father wants to hear. Go with what you feel the Spirit is leading you into.
It is here, when you begin to truly let yourself go into true worship of the Father, lifting up the Holy Name of Jesus in worship, songs of love and thanksgiving unto the Lord, that you will have the presence of the Lord fill the space all around you, the room will become sweet with His fragrance and you will be filled with His Glory. You will dwell in His presence, you will live as you never did before. You will be in a place so holy you will not ever want to leave.
This is the place, in His presence, that you will begin to fill such love pouring into you. You will begin to see the changes that the Lord wants to make in your life. You will see healings take place, provisions made; you will see scripture come to life as you read it. You will have understanding of things that were mysteries before. The Lord will literary open your eyes to His Word, He will open your ears to His voice, and He will change your life forever.
All through worship. The Lord will restore worship to this earth. We were made to worship the Lord. It is why we are here. The Lord doesn't need anything we have, everything is His, on earth, sky, in the Heavens, it is all His. He wants us to worship. He wants us to glorify Him and thank Him for what He is, who He is, because He is. Worshiping, loving, honoring, praising the Lord. That is what pleases our God. Knowing that we are so in love with Him that we want to worship Him at all times, from our hearts, to Him. Worship.
The Lord want so to bless His children. He wants to give us every good thing that He has waiting for us. There is so much waiting for us. Few rules apply to receive these blessings. Love the Lord. How could you not love our Lord who has given so much to us. Then, we must love our neighbors like ourselves. This is not hard, just love them through the Lord. Love them with His love. It is given freely to you, pass it to your neighbors, just love them. These must be present as it is God's will that you love. It will purify your heart, this love. Then you worship. Just fill your mouths with praise and worship to the Lord, let it pour out of your heart to Him. Words that fill your heart that show your gratitude for what the Lord has done for you. Love on the Lord with songs of adoration, worshiping morning and night and all the time in between. Just worship.
If you have never worshiped the Lord before, just raise your hands where you stand. Begin to sing softly, thank You Lord, I love You Lord, You are everything to me. Just sing it over and over and as you begin to fill the love flowing from your heart, lift your voice louder and just worship. The Lord has been waiting to hear your voice praising Him, loving Him. He will give you all His attention when He hears your worship. There is nothing He won't do for you as He hears your heart pour out your love to Him in song.
Restore worship, Lord. Restore the hearts of Your children to yourself as they begin to worship You. And Lord, restore to them all the blessings of Your heavens, restore health to their bodies and spirits, restore their peace that they can only find in You, and restore joy to their hearts. Your joy. Restore them my Lord. Restore them as they offer their heartfelt worship to only You.
This 15th day of April, 2011, I thank You for restoration of worship in our land, our hearts. I love you my God. You are everything to me. Lord, as I lift my voice to worship You, let Your presence fall on me.

Restore them my Lord. Restore them as they offer their heartfelt worship to only You.
This 15th day of April, 2011, I thank You for restoration of worship in our land, our hearts. I love you my God. You are everything to me. Lord, as I lift my voice to worship You, let Your presence fall on me.

SPIRITUAL ABORTION
Luke 8:11b "The seed is the Word of God."
I received a new Bible I had ordered in the mail today. It is the New Spirit Filled Life Bible. As I was looking through it, there are sections called Kingdom Dynamics. I was reading one that caught my eye on abortion when the Lord said into my spirit "Spiritual Abortion". I tell you it really caught my attention as I had never heard the term before. Then He began to tell me what He meant.
The Lord told me that when we receive a word from Him, either directly or given through the Holy Spirit, it is a seed of the Word of God. It is meant to be given birth through us to members of the body of Christ or to someone for correction, or an encouragement from the Lord. Sometimes it is something we are to say or sing during a service. A word of knowledge from Him; a new song born out of what He is doing in our spirit. He told me that when we fail to deliver this word, this song He is telling us to let loose from our spirits we are commiting abortion, a spiritual abortion. We are literally killing that seed He has planted in us that was to have been given for the growing of the body or someone He needed that word given to. For fear of man or of what the enemy told us was being out of order, for the fear maybe of rejection, of ridicule, we were silent, and kept that seed to ourselves. Without the releasing of that seed to where it could have been watered and nutured by the Lord, we basically killed it. Aborted. Destroyed.
As I was thinking earlier this evening, trying to tell myself surely this was not a word that would be received well, you know, abortion is a serious word, not to be taken lightly, and perhaps it was something best not spoken of here, the Lord once again spoke to me. He said "You are doing it now, you are considering abortion, spiritual abortion". I was horrified, for it was true. I was trying to find a way not to give the word the Lord had given me. It is the Lord that gave me the word and I know He knows who needed to read this and get this message from Him. I am only the instrument He is using. Forgive me, Lord, as I never want to abort Your message. I want to be a clear, flowing vessel for You to use. It is not for me to decide what should be given, all Your words are wonderful and I know even though it is a hard thing to say, You have the reason, You have the target it should go to, and You will see that person gets Your message. I am only to give it. I stopped not releasing the Holy Spirit in me in church months back as the Lord showed me His hurt and rejection when I would not do what I was asked to say, or sing, in church. So I let Him flow through me as He wills. Father, this is no different, forgive me, flow through me Your messages here also, Lord.
The Lord will not let me leave this tonight. I need to give another part of this message, it is for someone that will read this. Abortion is a sin. There are many that have made this decision early on in their lives for one reason or another. And that sin is weighing them down still today. Sin is sin. If you told a lie, and asked forgiveness from the Father, you would accept His forgiveness and love and move on in Him. The Father wants you to know, if this is about you, something done in your youth, or under situations that were different then; please, hear these words from the Lord. "Child, come out from under that bondage that satan has you in. I love you and you are forgiven your sin. As I would forgive anything you have done for My Son has set you free, He has paid the price for all you sins, this one included. I no longer remember the things of the past that you have repented for, and I want you to lay those things aside also. Let not the enemy use this to keep you from Me, come to Me and I will comfort you, I will love you, you are mine, my beloved child. Be free in Jesus today. Come to Me."
I thank you my Father for your beautiful presence, your glorious light, your precious forgiveness, and your mercy and grace. You are wonderful, Lord, You are light, love and life to me, to so many. There is none like You, Lord. I release this seed into the world tonight my Lord, as You have given it to me to bring to birth, I know You will let it fall on fertile ground and bring another to water and nurture it. It is in Your wonderful plan for Your children. All in You.
I love You so much, my God. You are life to me, my all in all. This 14th day of April, 2011, I am clinging to You, my Lord, clinging to You as I love You so much and want never to be apart from You.

So I let Him flow through me as He wills. Father, this is no different, forgive me, flow through me Your messages here also, Lord.
The Lord will not let me leave this tonight. I need to give another part of this message, it is for someone that will read this. Abortion is a sin. There are many that have made this decision early on in their lives for one reason or another. And that sin is weighing them down still today. Sin is sin. If you told a lie, and asked forgiveness from the Father, you would accept His forgiveness and love and move on in Him. The Father wants you to know, if this is about you, something done in your youth, or under situations that were different then; please, hear these words from the Lord. "Child, come out from under that bondage that satan has you in. I love you and you are forgiven your sin. As I would forgive anything you have done for My Son has set you free, He has paid the price for all you sins, this one included. I no longer remember the things of the past that you have repented for, and I want you to lay those things aside also. Let not the enemy use this to keep you from Me, come to Me and I will comfort you, I will love you, you are mine, my beloved child. Be free in Jesus today. Come to Me."
I thank you my Father for your beautiful presence, your glorious light, your precious forgiveness, and your mercy and grace. You are wonderful, Lord, You are light, love and life to me, to so many. There is none like You, Lord. I release this seed into the world tonight my Lord, as You have given it to me to bring to birth, I know You will let it fall on fertile ground and bring another to water and nurture it. It is in Your wonderful plan for Your children. All in You.
I love You so much, my God. You are life to me, my all in all. This 14th day of April, 2011, I am clinging to You, my Lord, clinging to You as I love You so much and want never to be apart from You.

MY DELIVERER
Psalm 141:1-2 "O Lord, I call to you; come quickly to me. Hear my voice when I call to you. May my prayer be set before you like incense; may the lifting of my hands be like the evening sacrifice."
My Lord, how I love You. Tonight my thoughts are centered around Your goodness to me, Your continual thoughts for me, of me. As time draws nearer to the remembrance of Your sacrifice for me, for us all, I cannot help but cry out to You. I have such a hard time with this time of year, Lord, as do all those who love You so deeply. When I think how You loved me so much, You were willing to pay the ultimate sacrifice for me...to deliver me from the hands of the enemy for all eternity. Here You paid the price, and yet I need the comforting. I just want to be held while I cry for the agony You suffered for me, the pain, the ridicule you suffered. But what I want to be comforted most I believe, dearest Jesus, is the pain and ridicule you suffer even today, even now as You continue to deliver Your children from the enemy's hands on a daily basis, those same children who can't even lift their hands to You in praise, in honor, worship to Your Holy Name. I am so sorry, my Lord, it breaks my heart as I think of the sorrow you experience each day as You wait for them to call on You, to invite You into their hearts, their lives.
You deliver me once again, my beautiful Savior, into the presence of the Father, knowing the peace I find there. You are flooding my room with that presence I so love, but it is You, just You, my Jesus, that I want to see. I want to see my Deliverer, I love You so much, I want to look upon that beautiful face, those loving eyes, the One who died for me. The One who took all the pain inflicted so I could be pain free, the loving Savior who took the ridicule, the rejection so I could be accepted. And it is not the acceptance of man I long for or seek, my Lord, it is the acceptance into the Fathers' Kingdom that is my goal. I don't care what men say of me, as long as they recognize I am Yours, that I am a child of God, I don't care what else they may think. They can call me disassociated, and that is okay as I am associated with You; they can call me names, as long as they call me by Your name, Christian.
I want to only please You, my Lord. I want to walk in the Light You have given me, I want to hear the words You have for me, those precious words of love and encouragement. Those words that I love to hear from You. Pleasing You is pleasure to me. I live to please You, my Love, my King. Your words have been set upon me to deliver me from my enemies, You give me the words to respond when confronted by the enemy, and to ward off his attacks. Your words, precious and beautiful to me.
Your glory is what I long to see. The bright, glorious light that You bring into my days is what I live for. Rain Your glory on me now, my Lord. Fill this room with Your presence as I seek to share my love for You; as I long to show anyway I can the depth of my love for You. I spend time and more time seeking ways to show my love for You and You just smile on me, yes, You do just smile on me as You see my heart, knowing how much I love You. Yes, Lord, I know I don't need to do anything more than what I do now. Yes, I see that You are loving the way I worship You, the way I tell others how much You mean to me, yes, Lord, You know my love. I live my life, Lord, as worship to You. My Jesus, I want You to return, return soon, my Love. Return and deliver my soul to You, my spirit longs to be delivered to You.
My Deliverer, my Lord, my King, my Beloved Savior, as we near these days when so many will look upon You, and remember You, I pray that they will worship You and give You all their praise and honor You for Your goodness to them. I pray it will not cease when Easter is over, that it will continue forever. Yes, Lord, I know, it won't. But perhaps this year, perhaps more will draw close to You and stay there, finding Your presence so sweet they won't be able to leave. I pray they experience a closeness to You that will keep them worshiping You all year. I pray...
Precious Lord, I will worship You always. I know many that love You and love to worship You. I pray it will spread to the ends of the earth. That people that never knew how to worship You will be filled with the Holy Spirit who will draw their hearts to You and they will give themselves up to pure heartfelt worship to only You. It will be glorious to hear and I know the bowels of Heaven will open and receive this sacrifice of praise and worship to the King of Kings, my Lord of Lords. Then will the Father reach down and heal His children, heal their lands. When that worship goes up like billows of smoke rising into the heavens and does not stop until it penetrates the very Gates of Heaven. What a day that will be....
Thank You, Lord, for delivering to me blessing untold. I love You, my Jesus. I love You, this 13th day of April, 2011, and will all my life. You are my life.

LAMP TO THE SOUL
Luke 11:34 "Your eye is the lamp of your body. When you eyes are good, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are bad, your body also is full of darkness."
It is so strange, Lord, to see for the first time, actually, this verse. I know I have read it before, probably many times, but today I saw it. I went to that section of Luke this morning as part of praying some scripture over some friends and when I finished I began to read the scriptures across from it. When You showed me this verse, Lord, it just jumped into my spirit. I pray Father, You give me the words You want me to write here. Just You Lord, just You.
What I am seeing here is that the Light that comes into our life, the only Light that I can see is our Lord Jesus. We bring that Light into our bodies by looking at the Lord. Seeking after Him, seeking His face. Our eyes control what comes into our minds, our hearts and our souls. If we are seeking the Lord, Him alone, then we have pure light coming in to our bodies. This Light will be a constant source of strength to our bodies, peace to our spirits and joy to our hearts.
When I was thinking on this scripture this morning, this came back to me. I had a customer come into my office one day and was carrying on about how good he thought I was looking, actually to the point of "too much" to suit me, but then he stopped and said, "there must be a man involved here, is there", and before I could say anything to him, he looked at me again and pointed up and said, "it's Him, Jesus". I smiled and told him yes, it was my Lord. He then told me, he knew, as he could see Jesus in my eyes. I have never in my remembrance had anyone on earth tell me something that gave me such joy and such a thrill. To think that my eyes showed my Lord in me. How could anything be more wonderful. It still warms my heart so much.
But the eyes. The eyes see everything. I believe that whatever you see flows into your mind, into your body. I also feel that you can shut off something you see, should it be accidental that you see something that is not of the Lord, by instantly asking God to remove it from you, to stop that flow into your body of any perverted, evil thing. The enemy wants so much to cloud your vision and put darkness into your spirit where only light should be. So instantly reject those things, don't give them entrance. Those people that intentionally look upon such things, fill their bodies, their minds, hearts and spirits with darkness. And we know that where darkness abounds, light is absent. So when a Christian, yes, in circumstances, the enemy uses the eyes to bring down our brothers and sisters, looks upon things of the world and doesn't ask the Lord to help them reject these things, darkness enters and the Light leaves. As children of the Lord, it is our responsibility when we see this happening to go to them and restore their sight. We need to bring the Light back into their situation immediately before they get complacent with their situation. All kinds of things can cause one to fall, and we don't walk in their shoes, so never should there be judgment on our part, just love and a helping hand, prayer and love.
What are you looking at? So many shows on TV and movies have just a little of this worldly thing, so much of that. Thre is so much of the world in these that after a while some get to where they don't notice it. It is so subtle you don't always notice it taking place. The first note of it is in your body, in your spirit. It just snuck in, that darkness. A little at a time, until it completely eliminated the Light. We must do whatever is necessary to keep this from happening. If there is darkness, something tht would give you a problem, shield your eyes, do not look at it. This is a responsibility that should be taken seriously. We do not know when our Lord is returning. We cannot have darkness inside us, only His light.
We need to sharpen the focus of our eyes. We need to develop tunnel vision. Our eyes should focus only on the Lord, the giver of Light. The maker of our bodies, our eyes. Our eyes should be kept clear, our vision not impacted by worldly things, focused on the things of the Lord. Our eyes are for reading His Word, for sharing His light. Our eyes should reflect the Lover of our soul in them. Our eyes should reflect our love for our Lord. Our eyes should shine with the glow of joy that is in our hearts, our spirits because of the great love of God. There should be a sparkle in our eyes from the Holy Spirit dancing around in them. See the Holy Spirit is there as a filter in your eyes to make sure only light is coming through and not dark, but you must ask for this, daily; Holy Spirit, please let me only look on the good of the Lord, please protect my eyes from focusing on evil, on darkness. We must ask for His help, and we must thank Him for His protection, for His guidance. People, this is so serious. The Lord needs His children to protect our eyes. They are the light to our souls, they are what

SUBSTANCE OR WORD
Jeremiah17:7-8 (Message) "But blessed is the man who trusts me, God; the woman who sticks with God. They're like trees replanted in Eden, putting down roots near the rivers...never a worry through the hottest of summers, never dropping a leaf, serene and calm through droughts, bearing fresh fruit every season."
I trust You, my God. Even when it seems like You are silent, I trust You. You never fail to let me know You are thinking of me, working for me, moving on my behalf. You send that little word, almost daily, to me that reinforces what You have told me, the plans You are making for me. You know the enemy is trying constantly to discourage me, placing doubt and unbelief in my ears. You also know I am rejecting those thoughts, but You know too, that this constant barage of the enemy can wear on ones' spirit, so You send those loving words to me. I have received some from a sermon, words in a song, a word someone said, not even at me, but you zinged that word to my heart. And most importantly, the words from Your Word. There inlays the answer. Your Word. Encouragement in in Your Word. You knew that we would be battled daily by satan, so you put every plot, dirty deed, examples of all his doings into Your Word. From beginning to end, it is all there.
You showed me Judas and how easy it was for satan to enter him. He never truly gave all his love and commitment to Jesus. He never sold out completely to our Lord so he was an easy target for the enemy to get to. This shows us that we cannot be lukewarm towards our Lord. We must love the Lord with our whole heart or we may as well not love at all. The Father would rather have us hot or cold than lukewarm, in the middle, riding the fence, as one might say. It is all, or it may as well be nothing. And no use pretending, as the Lord knows your heart.
I love you my Lord. Completely. No doubt. Absolutely. You supply what I need, at all times. Today when I was beginning to feel like I had a weight on my back, the enemy putting in little jabs, how he loves to jab; You sent a word. You supply all my needs. Tomorrow as I take care of business matters, You will see that if is taken care of in You, in the way that is pleasing to You. We will take care of this in the morning, get all business over with, all thing of the world out of the way, and then it is our time. It won't matter then, if I am cleaning house, or perhaps cooking, You will be on my mind, and in my heart. We will be enjoying beautiful music together, I will sing to You and You will sing into my spirit. How I look forward to our day, my Lord. As You put all thing in order in my life....I love it, especially that You put You at the top. I give to You the control of my life, and You order my steps; You are always at the beginning of my path and You are at the end of it. Your light is all over so there is no way I can get off the path You have made for me. I know You will supply everything that is needed to follow You and I know that You will also supply the words of encouragement along the way.
Forgive me Lord, if my mind ventures to question what Your plans are. I know that You will reveal them to me as I need to know. I know that knowing all at one time would be overwhelming. I rejoice in the fact that You love me and have such wonderful plans to use me, to use me in Your kingdom. My heart is so full of love for You and for the life You have made for me, that You continue to plan and bring me into. Father, You are so awesome. You have such beauty, my mind cannot comprehend all Your beauty, I cannot even picture the beautiful I feel You are. When I try to picture Your beauty my spirit eyes just see brightness, so bright that I can see nothing else, but brightness. How I long to see Your face, to see Your beauty. Draw me to You my Lord, draw me to You this night, I pray. Let me be with You in Your throne room tonight, to sit at Your feet and worship You.
This 11th day of April, whether substance or word, Lord, You supply what I need.
