Rise up and Shout...

No weapon that is formed against you will prosper

and, every tongue that accuses you in judgement you will condemn

This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord

and their vindication is from Me, says the Lord.

Is 54:17,16

Behold, I Myself have created the smith who blows the fire of coals

and brings out a weapon for its work

and I have created the destroyer to ruin.

NO WEAPON TURNED AGAINST YOU

That has been made in preparation to be used against you

shall succeed or be effective!

YOU, my Child belong to Me

this is MY promise to you

my heritage to you.

Matter of fact,

those who rise against you will be put to shame

every lie, every accusation, every voice raised

against you

will fall on deaf ears, for I know the Truth.

It will be you who will silence the liars, the accusers, the loud mouths

Because your Righteousness is of Me, says the Lord.

I will vindicate

and you will enjoy

your inheritance, Me!

Jesus, we need You now more than ever now.  We call on Your name for Salvation, for healing, for protection; by the Power of your Name.

Heavenly Father, Lord, honor our faith today.  Honor Your Word today, Lord.

Thank you that when LIFE HAPPENS and earth eyes see Messy Situations

FAITH SEES: 

HEALTH, Abundant life, FREEDOM, 

Protection

Because of Your Stripes Jesus- and because of Your Resurrection

We have these promises.  Our hearts cry: Thank you Lord! You are in Control, You are God.

We need You- We trust You- and we will not waiver in our faith in You.  In Jesus name.  Amen Jesus. Amen.

....I CALLED, YOU LISTENED.....

Psalm 6:9

The Lord has heard my cry for mercy

the Lord accepts my prayer

I cried out

and the Lord heard my plea for help

I cried to my Abba

totally emptying myself

knowing in my heart of hearts

the Lord receives my prayer

Mercy, Mercy 

I petition to my Father

with prayer and supplication

I have made my requests made known to God

I love the Lord

because He hears my voice

and my supplications

I say: 

Blessed be God

who has not turned away my prayer

nor His lovingkindness from me

As I be still

and know

HE is God

and HE receives my prayer

He also will answer my call

wholeheartedly 

He will not turn away from me

Mercy and Truth have met together

Righteousness and Peace have kissed

Truth springs from the earth

and Righteousness looks down from heaven

the Lord will give what is good

our land will yield it’s increase

Righteousness will go before Him

and make His footsteps 

our pathway.

So, be of good cheer little children

For I believe God,

that it shall be even as it was told me

That God will send His Word

and prosper it everywhere He sends it

and accomplish all that He will

it will prosper everywhere He sends it

bearing fruit…

As we believe

we will receive

and have

As we wait for hope for and expect our God…

Overflow will happen

Miracles will happen

God’s will WILL happen

and God will be glorified, Hallelujah!!!

As this has become my truth, I encourage you to make it your truth also.

BELIEVE GOD

NEVER WAIVER or DOUBT

but have such confidence that God’s will WILL be done

on earth as it is in heaven.

As we go and pray with faith in Jesus name

asking Jesus for His faith, his confidence in His Father’s YES  and AMEN

Yes Abba, let it be so, as I walk by faith and not by sight, Let it be so,

IN JESUS NAME, I cry out

Have mercy Lord…

And, the Lord

heard my cry, and answered my call.

And I called back to tell Him:  

Thank you Abba.  

I love you so much;

then God blessed me with His smile.  

May the Lord make His face shine upon you too.

LISTEN....LISTEN....

Job 37:2

Listen carefully

to the thunder of God’s voice

as it rolls from His mouth.

Listen, Listen!

His voice is as the roar of thunder!

The sound of His voice rumbles

as rolling thunder.

Are you attentively listening

to the wonderful sound of His voice?

It is quiet

and it is thunderously loud

it is calm

as it is powerfully strong

Can you hear it-

the voice of God?

Are you amazed?

Are you blessed?

Are you satisfied?

Listen, Listen!

Listen to the roar of His voice

and the rumbling that comes

from His mouth.

.....WHAT KIND OF MAN ARE YOU?......

When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.
Acts 4:13

When I read this scripture today a question was asked in my spirit, and I feel I need to ask you what the Holy Spirit asked me.

What kind of man are you?
Have you been with Jesus?
Are you ashamed of the gospel, or like Peter and John as just ordinary people who LOVE GOD courageously/happily wanting to share your experience with others?

Have you had the experience that you- ordinary man or woman of God- of being "astonished" or witnessing something "incredible" that God has done recently? Something done "through" you via way of the Holy Spirit? You see, this is what the world sees..& others....your walk with God, and they sometimes "weigh out" WHO you are... WHAT goes on through you.... if you do things in Jesus name, and astonishing things happen....miracles that can't be explained: SAVED by way of the MERCY & GRACE of God.

Christian, you are SET APART- for the goodness of God. When was the last time you were in the Presence of God? Do you talk to Him as Friend, or do you pray/talk to God only when you "need something?" We gotta do better!

God is LOVE and His LOVE Covers- it is so wonderful when I see posts and comments of Christians who have been in the presence of God...it is so contagious...that the spirit of the Lord comes out of you. Some have the most beautiful smiles, and beautiful personalities that would make a Father (Heavenly Father that is) proud.

Thank you for blessing me- all my google + friends. God bless you today. If you would be so kind to comment & let me know what this scripture means to you.

....THE BLOOD OF JESUS......

The Blood of Jesus

1 John:7,6, 8&9

If we walk in the Light as He is in the Light, 

we have fellowship with one another, &

the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.

If we say we have fellowship with Him

yet walk in darkness, we lie

and do not practice the truth.

(f we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves

and the truth is not in us.

If we confess our sins

He is faithful and just to forgive us

our sins

and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

See what the blood of Jesus does?  When we are IN the Light- we are IN God, we are cleansed!  God is Light and in Him is no darkness!  Light exposes sin.  Sin is a product of fruitless deeds of darkness.  God wants us not to have any part of sin, but be free in His Light.  IN Christ Jesus- in in in- the revelation of being IN Christ Jesus is so wonderful.

We are washed and cleansed by the blood of Jesus- no more sin- we don’t even want to sin- because of the Light in us.  God will bring to light what is hidden in darkness (sin) and will expose the motives of the heart… (1 Cor 4:5)

Though our sins be as scarlet, He washes them white as snow…  We have an opportunity to be free IN Christ.

But be warned: He who says He is “okay” in the Lord, better think again!  For IF he really isn’t, he is in denial and deception of the mind! Those who are “religious deniers”- or “self-righteous”  Anyone who doesn’t PRACTICE TRUTH can fall in this category.  Don’t justify who you are and what you do- Christian.  BE RIGHT- WALK RIGHT- Walk in the Light!!!!  Don’t think you can be a scratch the surface Christian- you need to be all in- Completely - - - 

For and not Against God.  A gather, not one who is wasteful with their life.  Christian BE right- let the blood of Jesus cleanse you

If you are NOT, you need to repent. Do it now!  Repent- God is faithful to forgive- don’t sell yourself short.

Listen, Light and Dark don’t mix!  And deception/lies and freedom/truth can’t join together because they are on opposite poles! This is why we need to renew our minds DAILY! Transforming ourselves IN God- via way of His wonderful Word. Not getting caught up in the world’s darkness- because you can not walk in darkness and hold God’s hand too-

or be friends with the world- This kind of "friend" is an enemy of God-  In other words, God and the devil are NOT friends- nor buddies, and they DON’T mix-  darkness brings death; Light brings salvation!  

The devil is God’s bitter enemy,  he should be yours too.

This is why it is important to stay in fellowship with other believers.  To encourage one another.  Let me tell you something.  The ones who “think” you are strong in Jesus, but walk in darkness need a lot of prayer.  

If this is you, you need to check and recheck- asking the Holy Spirit to help you- 

and if you are convicted, don’t forget to repent.

Even if you are not sure: REPENT!  Do it for the sake of obedience; and your freedom.  Don’t be bound with uncertainty- but free in the Light.

We can all say that we all get bombarded with missiles from the enemy;  but Greater is He that is in you than he who is in the world.  The Greater one is Light-  Light is IN you, Christian!  Don’t deceive yourself- remove the beam- remove the darkness so that everything is light- and practice and imitate your God.  He is faithful to forgive you when you mess up- ask Him to forgive you- let’s stop right now and pray.

Father, forgive us when we fall short- and miss the mark and goal You have for us.  Forgive the sin that tries to cling to us- and help us to willingly shake it off- fling it off, Lord anything of You, help us to hurl it away.  Help us to tell that mountain M O V E IN JESUS NAME.   Sin has no part of me- My body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, and His Spirit lives IN me….  I was bought with a price, and I thank you Jesus.  Help us when we think we are going good- without You- leaving You behind, because of pride.  Stop us when we get ahead of ourselves, Jesus.  We repent!!!   Show us Holy Spirit where we err, please Lord, cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  In Jesus name we pray- Make us STRONG IN You, Jesus- please guard our heart and mind- and fill us as we renew our mind with YOU, IN YOU, and THROUGH You, be with us, Lord. Thank you for the blood that was shed on our behalf.  

In Jesus name we pray,   

Amen Jesus!!!!  Amen.

2 Timothy 2:24-26

But refuse foolish & ignorant questionings, knowing that they generate strife.

The Lord’s servant must not quarrel

but be gentle towards all, able to teach

 patient in gentleness correcting those who oppose him:

Perhaps God

may give them repentance

leading to a full knowledge of the truth

and they may recover themselves

out of the devil’s snare,

having been taken by him

do do his will.

You see, the foolish, ignorant unbeliever- Atheist- 

wants to quarrel- strife & bully-

arguing, and so full of hot air

He can’t get, because he doesn’t want to get it!

But, we have a job to do here!

We MUST be gentle- 

being responsible to not make them run even further

We MUST not quarrel with them- don’t argue! 

Just share the LOVE of Jesus

in a kind way- teaching correctness- patiently & lead them gently

Perhaps pulling them out of a snare, a trap, a living hell on earth

toward God.  If they listen and obey the call

Perhaps God will give them repentance.

Perhaps with their willing and open heart 

they will be led

to the full knowledge of truth (of Jesus Christ)

and recover themselves- come to their senses

and escape being held captive

by the devil’s will.

One who Loves sin- and Rejects God

is caught in the trap- not really even realizing it- it’s their belief system

IT IS a TRAP- and NOT God’s will

but satan- who has a hard violent grasp

certainly doesn’t want to let go of you. - Please Listen -

YOU HAVE AN OUT: A WAY OF ESCAPE

HIS NAME IS JESUS CHRIST- HE LOVES YOU!

HE WANTS YOU TO BE IN PEACE, AND IN LIGHT

WITH HIM.  YOU ARE HIS PRIZE, HIS JOY, AND

TO BRING YOU TO HIS FATHER- CLEAN- WILL BE

HIS ULTIMATE PLEASURE AND FULLNESS OF HIS JOY

CALLED: GLORY.

Can you hear the call?  

Jesus loves you.

Jesus, help us to hear your gentle voice calling out: COME.  Help us to see Your outstretched hand.  Bless the one who can gently & patiently deliver Your Word- according to Your Will- and bless the one it touches today; help them to see the light and repent. In Jesus name we pray.  Amen Jesus!!!  …………………………………………………………………………..(ref: 2 Tim 2: 24-26)

.....WAKING UP WITH A SONG.....

Thank you Lord

for my morning song for You.

Old or new,

it's for You.

You show me You

in my keys

You show me You

in my praise

You show me You

in Your presence;

Thank You Lord.

I woke up this morning

with an old song

You gave me

You were so kind

that You added to the tune

and made it even more beautiful

Just like You,

Beautiful God.

Thank you Lord

for a song

that pleases You

One that You can hum to

One that makes you smile

One that the dancing girls can dance to

Ah, Lord

I can see it

and I rejoice with You.

Thank you.

yes,

thank you!

..........BEAM OR SPECK?????........

Do you know the difference?

Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?  How can you (possibly) say, “brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,” while you yourself fail to see the beam in your own eye? HYPOCRITE! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

What is in your eye?  

Can you see clearly? 

or, are you a vain pretender, also known as a hypocrite?

You see, I myself have fallen in the HYPOCRITE trap.  Trying to help others- when I myself was the biggest disappointment to God.  I was self-righteous- I felt justified in my sin- I just couldn’t see past the beam.  In fact, I justified the beam.

When God shakes your foundation, and the Holy Spirit exposes what is DARK in you- the beam stands out, 

and it HURTS. 

It not only hurts in the heart (because I disappointed my Father) but my eye literally hurt too, for days!

When I confronted sin in another person- the Holy Spirit shown me the sin I had in me- and it wasn’t pretty.  Here I was ministering the good news- ministering peace, ministering all about clean hands and clean heart- and didn’t even realize that this self righteous- child of God- had a beam in her own eye.  God had to show me.  I read Luke 6, and God had me re-read until He made His point, and I got His message.  So much, that I had to make apology  and ask forgiveness- and as I did, I realized that the beam that had been in my eye LONGER than I want to admit, was pulled out, by God.  

It was even so that I told the other person who I had issue with, that I didn’t want to confront their speck, because of my beam…  God was dealing with me…  even going as far as telling them that they would have to ask God to help them deal with their own speck/beam, and not I.  For I had to deal with this one on one with God- and clear this up- with God- and as soon as I felt released, then I could clear it up with that person. 

In other words, I was embarrassed for being a hypocrite long enough. 

Any one know what I am talking about?  Has this happened to you too?  For me, 50 something years of bible teaching, and it took God to take out the beam, as I asked Him to reveal all the sin I have- and to expose it, so I may be free  from it.  

My goal:  I want to SEE God.  

I don’t want to “try” to see God, 

I “want” to see God with nothing in my way.  

Not the embarrassment of sin or the embarrassment of my own stubbornness and willful pride that’s called a beam.  This is why we need to “tear down strongholds”  beginning in the mind- tear down the thing that comes against the knowledge of God- demolish it, tear it down piece by piece to rubble.  If it is a beam, SEE it for what it is: a SINFUL BEAM- hack it away, and if you need God’s help: ASK God to help: He did say, ask and it shall be given to you.  He is happy to help you be free from sin!  He is happy to help you be free from being a hypocrite! 

Jesus, as you have helped me by showing me Your way- and Your truth- by exposing sin and showing me that there is no room in my temple for such- because the Holy Spirit dwells inside… You Precious Lord, want me clean, want me to be able to SEE CLEARLY- without anything distracting, or troubling me.  When Trouble comes, thank you that You will trouble Trouble: because You are a very present help in times of trouble.  You are with me always.  Even when I have a beam- You are here to show me how to remedy the problem.  First, I need to come to You, Repent, and allow You to work IN me so that I will be free from sin.  This is Your goal for me.  To be sin free- an to see You, Precious Lord.

Thank you for taking out the beam, and help me never to let another take it’s place.  Show me how to be a fragrant offering to You, Abba, by being an imitator of You, Precious Lord.  This is my prayer and desire.

I love you so much, and appreciate You.  In Jesus name, I pray.

I also pray for the one who is having the same problem.  Show them Holy Spirit, what You have shown me.  Reveal Yourself to them- Reveal and expose what is displeasing so they may repent too.  Our goal is to see You, Abba.

In Jesus name I pray.

Amen Jesus!!!!

....WHAT IS IN YOUR EYE???....

Luke 11:34, 36, 35

The lamp of the body is the eye.  

Therefore, when your eye is good, your whole body is also full of light. 

But when it is evil, your body also if full of darkness.

If therefore your whole body is full of light, having no part of dark;

it will be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with it’s bright shining gives you light.

Therefore see whether the light that is in you isn’t darkness.

Evidence! Proof! Light!

Is Christ IN you?

Is the Light IN you?

If your answer is YES then there can not be ANY darkness in you; at all.

I pray that you allow the Holy Spirit to minister to you.

Examine yourself- and Check yourself thoroughly- making sure there is NO darkness in you at all- n. o. n. e.

What consist of darkness in your eye?

In Proverbs it is pride. (Haughty eyes and a proud heart)

this person does not even consider himself in sin.

In Isaiah, they have shut their eyes.  They don’t care.

In Jeremiah the prophet considers these people foolish- and without understanding.

And, in 2 Corinthians it says the god of this world- the thief, the robber- the father of lies, has blinded them, blinded their minds.  They already don’t believe Christ- which is the first thing against them, but then comes the thief- the god of unrest- and blinds their minds so that they can not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ- which is the image of God.

Whose fault is it? the devil? God?  

No, the unbeliever first-  Remember, we have a choice to believe in God, and in His Son.  When we don’t BELIEVE, we open a door.  It is an open invitation to satan himself to woo you with his lies.  He will blindside you with all of them.  

The atheist are so blindsided- and so convinced with lie upon lie- his mind is made up, and it is so sad- because there isn’t any light there.  They are so trapped in their own lies and deception they have no room in their hearts for God.  They shut their door so tight, not even a speck of light can squeak in.  All by their choice.  No light-  

PRAISE GOD, there is a FLIP SIDE!

To the BELIEVER- we have abundance of Light!  

Jesus Christ Himself!  He fills us up- completely!  This is why the bible says friends with the world is enmity with God. They just don’t mix, just as light and darkness don’t mix! You are either LIGHT or Dark!  You can not be both- so once again, you must choose.

Jesus, please help us today to examine our hearts.  Once again we pray David’s Psalm.

Create in me a clean heart, O Lord, our God, and renew a steadfast spirit in me.  And, do not take the Holy Spirit from me,

but restore to me the joy of Your salvation….  Remove in me the things that are displeasing to You, Abba.  Show me, so I may repent.  I want to be right, I want to be Light!   The scripture also tells me that the candle of the Lord searches all the inward parts of my body-  Clean the spirit of me- cleanse me.  Let Your blood purge and cleanse all the dead work in and against me.

Show me all unrighteousness-especially Pride- all sin Lord- so that I may repent and become clean and righteous in You.

Be the Light that exposes darkness- all the darkness in me- so that there isn’t any darkness any longer.  That I may have Your full joy in me!  That I may have Your full light in me.   In Jesus precious and Holy name I petition You.  Amen Jesus.  Amen.
