You Are

Lord you are every breath that I take. You are my Savior and my King. You are my life. Lord, I love you so much and I owe my life to you. Take this life that I live each day and mold me and make me into your image. Teach me to walk into your Presence and to hunger for more of you. When I think about you and your love for me, I am totally amazed. You loved me before the foundation of this world. You knew me before I was in my mother's womb. You are the one that I hunger for. You are to me everything. You are my light in a dark world. You are the one on whom I depend. You are the one that gives me strength to make it through each trial, test and every day. You are the one that gives me joy in the midst of everything that I face. You teach me to walk by faith and not by sight. You are the one that restores what the cankerworm has stolen. You are the one that I need every second of everyday. Lord, I want you more than I want life itself. Lord, consume with me your Presence that I may be a tree that is planted by the waters. A tree that is grounded and rooted in you. Teach me to wait upon you that I shall renew my strength and mount up as wings as eagles and run and not be weary for you are coming Lord. Teach me to be ready, because you are coming soon!

True Meaning of Christmas

Many are facing hard times and struggles this year because of loss of jobs and home. Let us remember that Christmas is not about the most expensive gifts we can buy or how much money we spend. Christmas is about a baby called Jesus who came to be the sacrifice for our sins. He came that we might have life and have life more abundantly no matter what the circumstances of our lives. Let us return to the old days when people came and bowed before Him and offered Praise unto Him. Just as the three Kings rejoiced and were exceeding glad when they saw the Star because they heard that the Savior would come. They followed the Star until they came to the baby in the manger. They came and offered gold, frankincense and myrrh to the new born King. Let this be the year that we call out to Him and repent and ask Him to come into our lives. Where would we be without our Heavenly Father who loves us so much. Jesus loves you and He cares about you. Call out to Him because His word says, "They that dwell in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the Shadow of the Almighty." When there is no money to buy gifts, give the greatest gift of all and that is to love others. It is Christmas, let us spend time with our loved ones and enjoy the Christmas season and talk about Jesus and His love for us. Remember, Christmas is about giving of ourselves and spending time with family and friends, but it doesn't have to cost us money or put us in debt. We can offer to take an elderly person to the store, we can bake cookies for the homeless, we can read a book to a small child about the true gift of Christmas, we can go to that one in our family that we haven't spoken to in years and show them love and mend the broken pieces. Love is unconditional and holds no grudges. This year in hard times let us reach out and love those who don't feel loved. Let us be a vessel that the Lord can use to touch others that somehow this year may be alone. Christmas is the gift of family and friends who love each other and look past each others faults and don't expect anything in return but love. Let us sing Silent Night, Holy Night and magnify the Lord. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

Well done my Servant

When we look around us we see so much confusion, fighting and killing. This world does not have anything to offer us, why do so many want to live as the world does? There is peace life a river when you walk hand in hand with the Father. He is always there to guide you in His paths of righteousness. His words tell us that His word is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path. The road ahead of us may not always be easy but we can have the assurance that Christ is with us and that He never leaves us. In the midst of the battles we face He works all things out for our good to those who are called according to His purpose and to those who love Him. He tells us that many are the afflictions of the righteous but He delivers us out of all of them. He says to call upon Him in times of trouble and He will answer us speedily. In all things give Him praise. Trust in the Lord and commit all your ways unto Him. Do not think it strange when we face all the fiery trials but to look up for our redemption draws nigh. Let us not waver in our faith as a ship tossed to and fro but let us stand on the Solid Rock of our foundation and proclaim that Jesus is Lord. Let us begin to shout from the rooftops that Jesus is Lord. Let us shout to those that are lost and undone that today is the day of Salvation. Let us begin to witnesses that go out and live a life as Christ did that others will see Christ in us. Let us walk the walk and talk the talk that Jesus will say to us "Well done my good and faithful servant." Time is drawing nigh and the day is far spent we who are God's children must begin to love others as He loved us. Christ came to give life more abundantly. Do others see Christ in you.

Restoration of Family

Today, many children are not speaking to their parents and many brothers and sisters are not speaking to each other. The Lord tells us that if you have ought against your brother or sister to go to them and make things right. Our prayers are hindered when we do not make things right. The word tells us that in the last days children will turn against their parents. The Lord tells us in His word that we must forgive seventy times seven times a day. If we can't speak to our loved ones here on earth how do we think we are going to be able to live with them in heaven. The Lord says to love our enemies and to pray for those who persecute us that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. God knew who are parents would be before we were ever created in our mother's womb. There is a reason He has placed the mother and child together. Everyone has a mother and father and the Lord tells us in the ten commandments that we must honor them that our days may be long upon this earth. This is the first commandment with a promise. Why have God's children allowed the enemy to come in and bring destruction in the family? We must take back our children, brothers and sisters and say "I rebuke you satan in the Name of Jesus Christ, I plead the Blood of the Lamb over my children and where you thought to bring destruction, My God is going to turn it around for good." The Lord will restore what the cangerworm has stolen. God is in the restoring business. Whether you are the one who caused the division in your family or not, love them and do not allow the enemy to rob, steal and destroy. Reach out to them and if they reject you love them and continue to pray for the healing of that relationship and plead the Blood of the Lamb over them. Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called Sons of God. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely accuse you of all kinds of evil. Rejoice and be glad because great is your reward in heaven. Speak restoration and love over them. God hears the prayers of the righteous and they prevail much.

An Apple a Day

As I walk through this struggle and wonder why Lord must I go through this. I can hear His small still voice tell me that this is not my battle. I ask the Lord if this is not my battle why is everyone throwing apples at me. Just as there are different types of apples we eat, there is different ways others lash out at us wanting to hurt us such as excluding us from their lifes and saying evil things about us. Everytime I get hit, it hurts deep. I have people lashing out at me and getting angry at me and I haven't thrown the first apple. But, the Lord tells me that He is my fortress where I can find safety. He is the Rock on which I stand. He is my comforter and my deliverer. He is my provider. Everytime I get hit with an apple, I can chose to get upset about the apples and cry or I can take those apples and make applesauce, juice, a pie or eat them. Whatever I chose to do with them they can become a blessing or a curse. I must not allow the apples to destroy me but to build up my faith in Christ. The Lord tells me to love those who persecute me and mistreat me. I can take the applesauce or apple juice that I make and share with my enemy. In Romans 12:20 the Lord says if my enemy is hungry, feed him, if he is thristy give him drink, in doing this you will heap burning coals on his head. Do not overcome evil by evil but overcome evil with good. In everything I must choose to be a vessel that loves the Lord and desires that everything I face offers Him Glory, Honor and Praise so that others will see Him and His Name with be magnified. If the Lord be lifted up He will draw all men nigh unto Him.

Jesus, I need You!

Jesus you are my Savior, my Refuge, My Father! You came and gave your life for me that I could be a child of yours. What a blessing it is to be your child. I stand in awe of you! You are all that I ever long for. You are my best friend. I can come to you and tell you everything. You love me in all my weaknesses. In you I can find acceptance and love. When I come and bow before you in repentance you are faithful and just to forgive me. Your words tell me that you stick closer than any brother and they that seek you shall find you. Lord, I love you with all my heart, soul and mind. I can't imagine my life without you for I once was lost and undone and miserable. From the day that you came into my life you have given me joy, peace and love that I have never known. I am weak but am made strong in you. Father, I love you and I owe my life to you. Renew me today and draw me closer to you than I have ever been. I know when my world around me is falling apart you are there and I can do all things through Christ. Thank you Lord for your love and for your amazing grace. Thank you for your precious blood that you shed for me and your life that you gave on Calvary for me. Through it all through it all I've learned to depend upon His word.

Lord, Fill me with Your Presence, I am Hungry

As I sit and think about you Lord and being in your Presence I get excited. I want to be in your Presence and feel your loving arms hold me and comfort me. I want to see you as Moses did. I want to experience the Glory of the Lord in my life.

As I seek to know your will for my life I want to become familiar with your voice so when I hear your voice I become attentive to your voice and I stop and listen and take notice of every word that you speak.

To be in your Presence and have you fill this temple with the Glory of Lord is overwhelming to me. When I sing the song the Glory of the Lord fill this temple, I wonder when I am consumed with your Glory how Awesome it is going to be.

I know that you are Holy and above all things here. I see your Glory all around me in the birds, trees and insects but to have a manifestation of your Glory in my life is what I hunger for.

I desire for you Lord to show me all the things that need to be cleansed out of my life. Prepare me as your bride that I will be found pure when you come to take me home. As I face each test remind me that it is a purifying fire that I am being cleansed one test at a time. Remind me to not look at the circumstances but to Rejoice in all, so you will be Glorified in my actions and my life.

I want more of you Lord in my life. I want to totally surrender all that I am to you knowing that you are my Creater, Strength and Courage.

When you blinded Paul on the road to Damascus He was overcome by your Glory. For nobody can behold the Glory of the Lord for you are brighter than any sunshine. But the change that occurred in his life was a complete change and many were touched by Paul's life.

Lord, fill me with your Awesome Presence that I may be changed into your image. Lord, I am hungry for more of you and less of me. Take me into the Holy of Holies by the Blood of the Lamb and cleanse my lips for I want you. I must have you I can't wait anymore, come and fill me Lord, this vessel is hungry for your PRESENCE!

To My Wonderful Savior

My Savior is the One who came and gave His life for my life, this He did for me in the name of love. He left his words that I would cling to and study to show myself approved for that is my duty as His bride. I am here to prepare myself to meet Him in His return when He comes and splits the eastern sky.



While I am here preparing for His return He has left commands for me to go out and touch the lost and dying that they would see Him. The only way that I can let His light shine in my life is to cling to Him and seek His face and His righteousness. To let Hiim change in me the things that He sees that are hindering my walk with Him and causing His light to be dim in my life.



His words tell me that I will face many trials just as He did. I am to keep my eyes upon Him for that is where I will find the peace that surpasses all understanding and the knowledge to get through all the trials. I must rest in Him.



When I cast all my cares uon Him I will soar as an eagle and I will be able to praise Him in all things. I know that I can't change one thing here by worrrying because His words tell me not to worry for He is sufficient to take me through this day and that I am not promised tomorrow for He may call me home to be with Him.



All in all I know that my Savior is there with me as I take each step and acknowledge His presence in every breathe that I take.



My desire is that in each breath that I take I lift up the WONDERFUL NAME OF JESUS who made it all possible that I have a home in heaven for eternity where I will live with Him. I owe Him all my live and obedience for none other has given me the love that He has.

The Blood of Jesus

Oh, the blood of Jesus it washes white as snow.

As we walk this life we sometimes forget that without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins. We have all sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God but Jesus gave His life as a ransom that we all can be saved. What a wonderful revelation to remember that Jesus is the one that paid the sin debt for our sins. It was not an easy task for Jesus to come and walk this lonely road leading to Calvary. He knew what was ahead because He was the Father's son and yet He surrended unto the will of the Father because of the Love He had for those who would come in the flesh. He knew that He was going to be hung on a cross with nails in his hands to cover the things that our hands would do and his feet to cover the places where our feet would take us, a crown of thorns would be placed upon His head to cover our minds and and that He would bare stripes upon His back for our healing with a cattail of nine whip. They pulled his beard out with their hands. Oh, the blood of Jesus washes white as snow. Upon that cross, Jesus cried out Father forgive them for they know not what they are doing. What an amazing love to cry out for those who were crucifying him.

We must remember to return to the Blood and allow it to wash us from the filth that attaches itself to us daily. We are to be a Holy people and unless we are covered and washed in the blood we can never truly appreciate the Blood of the Lamb that was sacrificed for our sins.

Oh, the blood of Jesus, O the blood of Jesus, Oh the blood of Jesus it washes white as snow.

Nothing but the blood of Jesus, nothing but the blood of Jesus, nothing but the blood Jesus washes white as snow.

FORGIVENESS

Have you ever been so angry and upset that someone did or said something to you and you have not been able to forget it? Jesus tell us that we must forgive others as He has forgiven us. We must turn the other cheek no matter how hard it is. We must go to that person and tell them that they hurt us and ask forgiveness from them. When we allow the hurts and things that others have said to remain it destroys to the marrow of our bones. So many are sick and afflicted, could this be the cause? Ask the Lord to reveal anything that you might have against others and then repent of that hurt and anger, go to them and ask forgiveness. We are living in the last days and we must surrender all the junk in our life's to the Lord. People around us are watching us and we must live what we preach. Jesus is the example that we must be following, we must pick up our cross and follow Him daily. Never one time in the Bible have we read that Jesus became angry and upset with His brothers, sisters or those that persecuted Him. But we read of how Jesus loved them and He chose to go to Calvary for them, just as He did for us. How can we reach out to the lost and dying when we have ought against others. Jesus is always there for us, let us begin to be there for others. The one that Jesus brings in your path today may need Him! Today, may be their day of forgiveness and accepting Jesus in their lives. Let not anything clog our vessels but be a vessel of love for all.

REJOICE AND BE HAPPY

Today is the day that the Lord has made and we are to rejoice and be glad in it. This word tells us to rejoice and be happy in whatever situation we find ourselves in. Many are going through struggles that seem to be consuming them. Let not the things we are facing cause us to be a cast down people but let us stand up and proclaim that this situations are only temporary. But the God we serve is giving us peace and in the midst of these situations and is working things out for our good. These situations may be used to cut things out of our life such as anger, resentment, thoughts and anything that we might have let in that is defiling our temple. We are a temple of the Living God and we must be Holy as He is Holy. When Jesus went into the wilderness it was for strength and endurance in the days ahead. He was tempted and tried but He did not give into the situation, He stood strong! The Lord is allowing these situations that we would draw nigh unto Him. REJOICE, REJOICE, REJOICE, He loves us! Knowing that Jesus loves us is enough to make us REJOICE and be HAPPY!

Are you in the Whale's Belly?

Have you or are you now facing problems that you think how in the world am I going to make it through this? Is there something in your life that you are running from? Are there feelings of hurt, anger and resentment toward others that you seem to keep wallowing in? Do you feel like everyone is taking advantage of you? Do you have an attitude of why is this happening to me? When God told Jonah to go to Nineveh, he did not want to go because he did not feel the people deserved grace. Jonah went and sailed on a boat headed in another direction, yet, that was not God's plan for him. In his disobedience he was thrown overboard and swallowed by a large whale. I can only imagine the anguish that Jonah felt when he was thrown overboard in the sea. Not only was he thrown in the sea but Jonah was swallowed by a large whale and was in the belly of the whale for three days. Can you imagine what Jonah was thinking? The odor that must have been in the belly of the whale? God took these circumstances of Jonah's disobedience and turned it around to save a nation. God is a merciful God and He loves us! Are you stuck in the whale's belly? Maybe the trials and tests you are experiencing are to cause you to lay aside your feelings and say not my way Lord but thine be done. Lord, wherever you want me to go, I will pick up my cross and follow you daily. Remember the song, Something Beautiful, something good; All my confusion, He understood; All I had to offer Him was brokenness and strife, But He made something beautiful of my life! Now is the time to surrender to the Lord and let him heal our brokenness and strife. You must allow God to take the circumstances you are facing and make something beautiful of your life.

PRAISE

I will praise the Lord for He is great! My life must praise the Lord in all things.

Do you want to forget the cares of the world? Get caught up in praising the Lord and all things will fall off of you when you get captivated in the presence of the Lord.

The trees and the rocks praise the Lord when we do not give Him the praise offering that He so deserves.

I will praise the Lord for His lovingkindness, mercy, longsuffering and His grace that He has bestowed upon me.

Lord, I praise and honor you when I am obedient unto thy works. Thy words are a light unto my feet and I will exalt the name of the Lord with each breath that I take.

My life will be filled with your presence when I think on you and praise you all the day. I know that in your presence is where I find my strength and comfort.

You created me that I would honor and praise you and that my life would be an example of what is is to serve and praise you.

To Be or Not to Be

We have a question to answer everyday. To be a born again Christian or not to be. What do you choose to be today? Are you going to become a child of God that seek His face daily and walk in His presence as you take each step receiving the peace that surpasses all understanding. Asking Him for His grace that is sufficient to take you through each day. You may have problems but you will have the comforter that He gives to be with you as you walk daily.

OR

Do you choose to live in the world of today? To face this cruel world and all the hatred, violence and evil that is around every where. To have no true friends, no peace, no joy and no strength. To wonder and worry about what tomorrow is going to hold for you. To have sickness and not be able to handle it, Have your children hate you, curse you and be into the things of this world and worry will they survive it. This world has nothing to offer but heartache, loneliness and in the end a burning inferno.

For I know the that the only place you can receive peace, joy, love and a true friend is from my Savior, Jesus Christ. To know that when this old world passes away you will be walking in the presence of the Lord and Savior who gave His life for you. To know that is to have peace that surpasses all understanding as you take each step toward your heavenly home.

Take His Hand

Take His hand today as you walk each step for He is watching over you and He cares for you. I know that you know the Savior and all the love that He has for you. Just know that what you are facing He is working on right now for He does not like to see His children hurting. As He takes you through this trial take hold of His hand and walk with Him through it for He will give you the peace that you are seeking and He will dry your tears. In this He will give you joy and peace that surpasses all understanding. You will truly experience the hand of Jesus in your life when you take hold of His hand of Jesus and trust Him as you walk today. The Lord promises you as His child that He will never leave you nor forsake you and as you are hurting look to Him for His strength to carry you through this for His promises are true. He is our Savior and we can cast all our cares at His feet and He will take care of them for He says that His grace is sufficient to carry us through today. He is holding out His hand now for you to take hold of. He is there waiting to hold His precious child. To love you as no other and be with you as you face this trial.

I Believe

I believe that Jesus came here and walked as a man knowing that He would give up His life one day for my sins. I believe that He shed His blood on Calvary and died for my sins and rose again just so I would have eternal life in Him when I leave this world.

I believe that He is the way, the truth and the life and that no man can see Him unless they repent and turn away from the things of this world. I believe that His words are true and that when I read His words and follow them I will be filled with flowing rivers o joy in my life no matter what circumstances I am in. I believe that He left commandments for me to follow and that I must seek His face and His righteousness first above all things. I believe that in Him is where the true meaning of life lies and that in that life is where the peace that surpasses all understanding is.

I believe that when I pray that He hears me and He is moved with compassion when I am hurting. I believe that I must go out into this lost and dying world to tell others that Jesus Christ is coming soon. He said, "Greater works shall I do when I receive power from on high."

I believe that all who cling to the Savior will be going home as soon as the trumpet is sounded. I believe that Jesus is coming to receive me unto Himself soon and very soon. I am the bride of Jesus waiting for the Bridegroom to come and take me home with Him.

Are we grieving God?

Do we teach our children the ways of the Lord or have we become like the Israelites who wandered in the wilderness for 40 years?

Do our children know more of the things of the world? Can they tell you stories from the Bible and scriptures or can they quote every word from a movie or television show?

Are we going out to the lost children proclaiming the gospel? Is the light of Christ bright in our lives or is it fading away?

What have we let influence our children? Is their hunger for more of the world or Christ? Have they ever seen you kneel and pray and seek the Father daily?

Do you give them the things of the world trying to fill the emptiness in their lives? Have you taught them about the Savior who gave His life for them?

Do you come in with a hunger when you attend church? Do they see that hunger for Christ in your life? How do they come to church, our they ready for church to be over so that can do they things that they want?

We bring our families to church two times a week but are we so caught up in the world that we can't leave the things of the world out of God's house?

God is calling us to teach our children about Him as they look at our lives everyday.

Grace

The grace of Jesus is sufficient for everyone. No matter where you have been Jesus loves you and desires to have fellowship with you. Jesus came and gave His life as a ransom that everyone would come to the saving knowledge that He is the truth, the life and the way. We can not earn grace! It has been given to us by Jesus sacrificing His life and being beaten, spit on and ridiculed on Calvary and shedding His blood that we could be forgiven. Jesus came to set the captive free and to offer life eternal. Grace is not to be taken lightly because Jesus suffered much for our freedom. Grace, grace, God’s grace, Grace that will pardon and cleanse within; Grace, grace, God’s grace, Grace that is greater than all our sin.

Restoration

Have you gone for a makeover to change the way that you looked? After the makeover you felt like you looked 10 or 20 years younger? Jesus came to restore each of us from the hurt, pain and troubled life's that many of us have had. There isn't a one of us who can say that we have never been hurt by others, let down or felt like we could not let go of the past. Jesus came to give us life and life more abundantly. To live a life more abundantly means that Jesus came in and restored us and cleansed out the junk we have hung onto for many years. To be restored by Jesus is the ultimate gift that we will ever receive. When we come to the Cross of Jesus and ask Him to be Lord of our lives and surrender all that we are to Him a restoration process begins. Oh, how sweet it is to be restored and refreshed by our Heavenly Father. Behold old things pass away and all things become new. This is what true Restoration is all about, the blood of Jesus washes away all the bad and replaces it with the new. When you look at your life and see the transformation process that has taken place then you realize how blessed you truly are. Oh the blood of Jesus Oh the blood of Jesus it washes white as snow.

Amazing Love

Oh, how Jesus loves you and me. When I think about the love that the Father has lavished on us, I get overwhelmed with His amazing grace. I am so thankful to be a His child and to know that one day I will see Him face to face. I can't imagine seeing him! I know that I will fall at his feet in humble adoration and worship Him because of who He is. He deserves all our praise, honor, worship and adoration. My heart longs to see the one who has saved me by His amazing grace. The one who came and gave His life by shedding His blood for you and me. When I think about how they beat and mocked Him, my mind can't comprehend the pain and agony that He must have felt that day. Yet, He did it for us because He first loved us. He knew us when He was hanging on the cross and He would have done it, if it would have only been for one person. If you do not know the Savior of your soul, come to Him now and repent of your sins and He promises that if you confess your sins He is faithful ane just to forgive you. He will never bring up your past but will with loving arms hold you and comfort you. I love my Heavenly Father. Amazing Grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me, I once was lost but now I'm found was blind but now I see. Praise the Lord with me as we thank Him for His amazing grace and love.

Broken

Has your heart been broken? Have the cares of this life entangled you and you can't get loose? Are you seeking for a glue that will put the pieces back together? Let me tell you about my friend, Jesus. Jesus can mend the broken pieces of our life and put you on the right road. My friend, Jesus loves you and desires that you have fellowship with Him. Jesus wants to be your Savior, your friend, your King of Kings and Lord of your life. Come and trust Him with all the broken pieces and you will find true peace that surpasses all understanding. Since I came to know Jesus all the broken pieces of my heart, relationships, and all my disappointments have been mended by His hand. I now sing, What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer! O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear, all because we do not carry everything to God in prayer. My friend take all your cares to Jesus and He will carry you as He teaches you to trust in Him alone. Prayer causes circumstances to change and surrendering unto Jesus mends the broken pieces in our life's. Come and let us seek Jesus, the one who created us and loves us. Cast every burden at His feet and take hold of His hand as you begin this walk of faith.

Intimacy

My hearts desire is for more of the Lord. I am hungry for more of Him which causes my tears begin to flow because He is all I have. The Lord is my life, my strength, my shelter, my comforter and my deliverer. He sustains my life and gives me breath to breathe. He desires for me to have an intimate relationship with Him and oh, how He has birthed that in me. To have an intimate relationship means that I hunger for more of Him, I long to be in His presence and to seek His face. His promises to me are when I seek His face, I will find Him. He is calling out come and dine with me and I will give you sup. Oh, what a blessing it is to be a Child of the King, who is calling me into His presence. Where His presence is you are standing on holy ground and when you are standing on holy ground you must die to self and allow the Lord to increase. My hearts desire is fill me Lord! The heavens are open and I see Jesus, The heavens are open and I see the Lord. The earth is full of His glory and I see Jesus, the heavens are open and I see the Lord. Oh, come with me as I go into His presence.

Humble

What does humble mean? Why should we become humble? When we seek the Father, we should come to Him in humbleness and brokenness. When we begin to think about our Heavenly Father, we must acknowledge that He is the creator of all things. He has saved us from a life of sin. He is the Author and Finisher of our faith. Oh, what a blessed people we are because He first loved us and called us to become His children. Our hearts cry should be empty me out Lord and fill me up with your Presence. In order to be emptied out, we must repent and ask the Lord to create in us a clean heart that seeks after Him. How can He fill us with His presence when we allow so much stuff to come in and defile our temples? When we begin to repent of our ways, then will we will become broken vessels that cry out forgive me Lord and draw me nigh unto you. No sin can stand in the Presence of God and my hunger is for the Lord to fill me with more of him and less of me. He must increase that I might decrease. Are you hungry for more of His Presence? Cry out now while the time is drawing nigh of His coming. Are we really ready or are we hanging onto stuff?

Hunger

When we think about hunger we begin to think of food and what kind of food will satisfy that longing. Hunger is a need that we have to satisfy this flesh and to nourish the body. The greatest hunger is spiritual hunger yet many don't seek to fill this hunger. When we begin to seek the spiritual food of God's word and seeking His face then we will begin to feast on true manna. God's word will cause this flesh to die and the spirit to increase in our lives. Oh, the food of God's word will bring peace that surpasses understanding in the midst of trials. It will cause those things in my life that are not pleasing to the Lord to die. A hunger and longing for more of God will grow and it will be like fire in my bones. When this fire begins the only thing that will satisfy will be more of God and less of me. There will be a cry in our hearts that is saying "More of You, I want more of you, Lord, draw me closer to you and fill this hunger with your presence and your anointing. Fill my cup Lord, I lift it up Lord come and quench this thirsting of my soul, Bread of Heaven feed me till I want no more, here's my cup, fill it up and make me whole.

Praise Him

What a blessed day the Lord has given us to come into His presence with Praise, Worship and Honor. We serve a God who loves us unconditionally. There is no sin that has taken Him by surprise or that has taken us too far that He doesn't hear our cries when we cry out to Him. He will come and hold you in the palm of His hand when we cry out to Him. He is a merciful God who is standing at the door waiting for those that are lost and undone without Him to "Come and Dine". The very essence of Praise will take us into the Holy of Holies. When we begin to Praise Him and magnify His name, we will hunger to be in His presence more and more. Oh, those that are tired, weary and who just can't seem to figure out how they are going to make it, began to Worship, began to Praise the Wonderful Name of Jesus, and began to Love on Him. Tell Jesus that He is the Wonderful Counselor, He is the Great I Am, The Almighty, The Alpha and Omega, Your King of Kings. Forget about yourself and magnify Jesus. Reach out and touch the Lord as He goes by, He's not too busy to hear your hearts cry, Reach out and touch the Lord as He goes by. Oh, Praise Jesus, Praise Jesus and Seek Him today!

Peace Like a River

Trust in the Lord with all thy heart and He will direct our steps when we surrender our all to Him. Oh what blessed peace awaits those who fully put their trust and their lives into His hands. Peace like a river that shall never run dry. Will we walk in dry places today or will we walk by the river and have peace that surpasses all understanding? I love to sit by the river and meditate on how good GOD is and remember all the times He has been faithful and has brought me through those dry places. The River of Life lives in me! Do you have the River of Life living inside of you? Oh what peace, love and joy will fill you when He resides in you. Call upon Him today for He standing at the door calling out to all, Come and Dine the Master calls!
