ARE YOU LISTENING?

ARE YOU LISTENING?

Brothers & Sisters, the question that rose up in my spirit as I was reading Revelation 3:20 was, “Are we listening?”

Are we actively listening, with expectation of hearing from the Lord?

He is calling us to a deeper and closer relationship with Him!

Bible reading, good works, ministry, worship, and prayer are all things we should be doing. But, if we are doing them FOR the Lord and never cross over into a personal RELATIONSHIP with Him…we are falling short of His plan for our lives.

He is calling us to change our position of doing all of those things FOR Him to a position of doing all of those things WITH Him.

I am feeling a little teary-eyed right now.

I hear the Lord saying:

“Beloved, I don’t just want you to learn about Me. I don’t want you to just follow My commands because that is what you should do. I don’t want you to just worship me from outside the door. I don’t just want you to pray to Me and not give Me time to respond back to you.

I want to be with you. I want to sit and eat with you. I want to talk with you. I want to walk with you. I want to minister with you. I want to be the first One you look to and talk to in the morning. I want to be the last One you look to and talk to at night.

Do you hear Me knocking? Will you invite Me in? Not just into the living room…but into your whole house!

You don’t have to run around getting everything perfect for My entrance.

Just open the door. I can’t wait to be with you!” ❤️❤️❤️

How Do We Respond?

Grace = unmerited favor-God’s free gift of love, forgiveness, and blessings that we don’t deserve or earn.

Knowing that God has offered and continues to offer His free gift of grace in salvation… How do we respond?

Knowing that His grace continues to work in our lives empowering us to grow in holiness, to increase in our love for Him and our neighbors, and to continually become more like Jesus…. How do we respond?

I pray that we will respond to His precious gift of grace by being His light in our cities, our states and our nation!

“Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.” 2 Peter‬ ‭1‬:‭2‬ ‭

In Him…

Today I have a lot of washing, cleaning, and organizing to accomplish. To be honest I am not looking forward to it.

The first thing I did was to put on my worship music! As I center myself on Jesus…everything else becomes so much easier.

I am raising my voice in worship…drawing closer to what truly matters. Anything I am doing is surrounded by my giving glory to God!!

The cleaning, washing, and everything else is just a background to my positioning myself in Him. ❤️

Whatever we are doing, may we remember to let it flow from our connection to our precious Lord.

For in him we live and move and have our being…
‭‭Acts‬ ‭17‬:‭28‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Choose This Day…

Our “ending” is dependent upon the choices we make today. Don’t give up because of bad choices you made in your past. Today is a NEW DAY! What direction do you want your life to take? Where do you want to end up? Make choices that will lead you there step-by-step. And God is ready and more than able to help you along the way! You are not alone! Take the first step! ❤️I love you! Your Sister in Christ, Tina

FORGIVE!!

“Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your transgressions.”
‭‭Mark‬ ‭11‬:‭25‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

Don’t forgive depending on how you “feel.” Forgiveness is an act of obedience to our Lord. May we not be hesitant or rebel against bringing our will into obedience to God’s will!! Not my will but YOURS, O LORD!!
