LET FAITH ARISE!

IMG_0007.JPG

Glory, Glory, Glory! Sometimes I feel a stirring in the atmosphere…preparation and alignments that must take place for the outpouring that is coming! Yes, there is much warfare going on in the world. But we, as the Church, are being called to position ourselves to be vessels of love and healing and power of the Living God!

Do not get sidetracked by what you see! But, focus on what The Lord would have manifested. Speak His will and watch for it to come to pass!

We are entering a time where The Lord is looking for those that have faith! Faith that He is who He says He is! Faith that He can do what He says He can do! And faith that we are who He says we are! LET FAITH ARISE!!

DRINK DEEP!

It has been so hot in North Florida this summer!!  Because of the lack of rain, I have been turning on the sprinklers and even using the water hose to water by hand our new grass seed and yard. 

I find myself actually enjoying standing in the yard and holding the hose as the life-giving water flows to the thirsty grass and plants.  I feel so relaxed and at peace and full of joy as I give my plants what they need.

And isn’t this how the Lord must feel as He lets His Living Water flow upon our thirsty souls and spirits? I hear the Lord saying to us:

Beloved, are you thirsty?

Beloved, are you dry?

Come to Me and be filled.

Come to Me and be drenched

in My life-giving Water.

Let My Water seep down

into the roots of your need.

Let My Water cause new life

to rise up within you.

I am here; I am with you.

Drink deep…

   

FIREWORKS!

IMG_0009For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power!   1 Corinthians 4:20As I was typing this, I saw a vision of fireworks!  On the Fourth of July, many people go with their families to watch fantastic displays of fireworks celebrating our freedom as a nation. I believe the vision I had was reminding us that we, as God’s people, can celebrate our spiritual “Independence Day!” We are now free from the penalty of death for sin….Jesus paid the price!!  We have been given eternal life!It was for freedom that Christ set us free;  therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.   Galatians 5:1Beloved of God!!  Are you walking free in Christ Jesus?  Jesus is our Great Deliverer!!  He has delivered us from the bondage of evil!  He has delivered us from the power of sin! If there is anything today that has you in bondage…let today be your DAY OF FREEDOM!!! I see great displays of the FIREWORKS of God all over the earth!!! HALLELUJAH!! We will see great displays of His Power in the coming days!! LET THE CELEBRATION BEGIN!!!!

Speak LIFE!!

speak life

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I feel like I am at the mercy of a world that only focuses on things that seem to want to drag me down to a state of helplessness, despair, and frustration.

Sometimes it is hard for me to listen to the news. Sometimes it is hard for me to listen to the conversation of others.

Brothers and Sisters, we are to be in the world – but not let it change and affect who we are. We are to be in the world and we are to change and affect it!

We are to change the world because our citizenship is in heaven! We are to be the vessels of Almighty God that bring God’s will upon this earth as it is in heaven!

Today, may our thoughts not be focused on things that are intent on bringing us down and making us believe we are less than who we really are. Let’s CHOOSE this day to think upon those things that are God’s best for us and for the world!

May we see with the eyes of The Lord what HE sees! May we call forth the treasure that is in each of us…even though our physical eyes may not see it.

Think about the Goodness of The Lord…and the Goodness of His creation. May we join Him in calling forth His BEST in His people. Let’s not allow ourselves to be a part of our enemy’s agenda.

We do not want to steal, kill, and destroy the destiny and purpose that The Lord has placed within each of us before we were born!

Speak LIFE; speak TRUTH; speak JOY; speak PEACE; speak LOVE!!

“… whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” (Philippians 4:8 ESV)

Death and life are in the power of the tongue…(Proverbs 18:21)

BIG God!

We serve a BIG God!

Nothing is too difficult for Him. Nothing comes as a “surprise” to Him.

He knows everything that has happened in our lives…He knows everything that is happening now…and He knows everything that will happen in the future.

Don’t fret! Don’t worry! Don’t fear!! He is with you and will guide you in your journey. He wants you to have victory over every circumstance!

We serve a BIG God!!

PEACE

river 3

There is peace like a River flowing from the Throne of God.

Float in the gentle, flowing currents as it takes you into a place of

complete surrender and utter relaxation.

Trust, believe, and know that the Lord holds you in His hands.

Rest, beloved, and be restored!

Breathe deep…

I Love You, Lord!

Original (880 × 868)

I love You, Lord!

I love how You are always with me.

You are only a breath…only a thought away!

I am never alone.

You are always guiding and directing me –

even when I am not aware of it.

Help me, Lord, to focus more clearly on You!

Help me, Lord, to not be distracted with everything

that is going on around me in the world.

Help me to place all my trust,

all my faith and all my plans into Your hands.

Thank You, Lord, for using me!

May my heart beat to the rhythm of Yours!

Open my eyes to see what You see…

to feel what You feel!

I love You, Lord!

FAITH

faith wall

I believe we, as the body of Christ, are entering a time when it is absolutely necessary to walk out our faith!  What do we believe?  And if we believe – do we EXPECT to SEE what we believe?

For we walk by faith, not by sight. (2 Corinthians 5:7).  Our faith is not based upon what we see…but what we see should be a manifestation of our faith!

We must SPEAK our faith…declare what the Lord declared in His word!  Declare and decree the TRUTH that He spoke – His Truth is unchanging and timeless.

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. (Hebrews 11:1).  Are we walking in ASSURANCE and CONFIDENCE?

What has the Lord placed within your heart and spirit concerning His desire for you?  What is His desire for your family, your ministry, your church, your community, your city, your state, your country, and for the world?  May we align ourselves with HIS desire and will!  And may we PRAY His will; SPEAK His will; and ACT upon His will!

Are we waiting upon Him to answer our prayers?  Well, He is waiting upon us to be a part of the answer He is releasing!

And what is our part?  We are to represent Him upon this earth – to be His hands, feet, and VOICE!  Are we ready?  Do we have the confidence and boldness to go forward in the power of the Holy Spirit and BE the body of Christ we are called to be?

We can only represent Him to the extent that we KNOW Him!  Do you KNOW the King of kings and Lord of lords — not just know ABOUT Him — but know Him personally?


It is time to DRAW NEAR beloved!  He is waiting…

Arise, My Darling, My Beautiful One…

best hand

Why do you fear?  Why do you hold back?  I have such good plans for you.  Trust Me to lead you and guide you into the future that I planned for you while you were still in your mother’s womb.  I love you with a love that is hard for you to comprehend!  I created a whole world just for you!  Don’t you think I can handle anything that is going on in your life right now?

Turn from all those things that would keep you in that place of “less” instead of My Abundance.  Lay down all those things that are not my Best for you.  You know what they are!!

I am with you…I am for you…I have great plans for your life!  Make a choice today to follow My Way and not your own.  Join Me, My beloved!  Let’s go forth into the future together!!

Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, and come along.

For behold, the winter is past,

The rain is over and gone.

The flowers have already appeared in the land;

The time has arrived for pruning the vines,

And the voice of the turtledove has been heard in our land.

The fig tree has ripened its figs,

And the vines in blossom have given forth their fragrance.

Arise, my darling, my beautiful one

And come along!

Song of Solomon 2:10-13
