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!” ❤️❤️❤️

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

KARAV: Draw Near

I returned from ministering and serving at Karav a couple of days ago. It was a time of reconnecting with old friends and meeting new ones. ❤️

It was a joy to lead and teach two classes on the preparation of the Bride of Christ for our coming Bridegroom. The focus Scriptures were The Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 25:1-13) and The Wedding of the Lamb (Revelation 19:7).

It was a blessing and honor to pray for my Brothers & Sisters in Christ and to speak God’s encouragement and love over them.

Along with ministering to others, I am so thankful that I was able to worship our precious Lord and draw near to Him. I am overwhelmed with how He poured out His love and anointing upon His people. And I am overwhelmed with how He ministered to me. I will never be the same!

Thank You, Lord, for calling Your people to draw near!

“Draw near to God and He will draw near to you…”
‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

BELOVED OF GOD! ITS TIME TO DRAW NEAR! CAN YOU HEAR THE LORD CALLING? CAN YOU FEEL THE BEAT OF HIS HEART? HE LOVES YOU SO MUCH AND HE’S WAITING! IT’S TIME TO DRAW NEAR!! ❤️💥💥❤️

ONWARD & UPWARD!

Waking up at 3:00am is not unusual for me…but, I usually just go back to sleep.

But this time, I woke with a dream fresh in my mind and spirit. In the dream I was worshipping and I was praying.

As soon as I awoke, I found myself continuing to worship & pray. I found myself deep in intercession for our country, our government, my church and the Body of Christ. I prayed for my family, friends who had prayer needs, and even prayed for myself and God’s calling upon my life.

I found myself declaring and decreeing boldly as the Holy Spirit led me. I don’t know how much time passed, but when I felt that I was done – I went back to sleep and slept soundly.

I want to say that I am thankful for this precious time I had with the Lord in the early morning. It definitely was not done in my own power or planned.

We are in a new season! Don’t be surprised if the Lord has you moving in ways that you perhaps haven’t moved in before. Dreams, visions, intercession, healing, and deliverance – all the ways that we see God’s people ministering in the Bible are still needed in today’s world. Now more than ever!

STAY CLOSE TO THE LORD! Tether yourself to Him and His Word! Stay connected with those that seek God’s will above their own. And do everything from His foundation of LOVE.

I am praying for you…will you pray for me? We are in this together! ❤️

ONWARD & UPWARD!!
