1 Corinthians 8:3

--TheSecretPlace--

I went to DHOP(our prayer meetings) tonight, and the more and more I go I realize that even though we are small, our prayers go up to heaven, and we, IN DOTHAN, are filling up the bowls of incense IN HEAVEN. Though we are few, our prayers are intense, and that is really what the LORD is looking for. Intense intercession--Those who are passionate about pursuing the LORD in LOVE and in INTIMACY. That is what we are doing, and I am so blessed to be a part of this movement. I have just been hearing--especially these past few days-- about how the LORD is moving people to pray in Dothan!! AND In Ashford(a city close to Dothan)!! HOW AWESOME!! The LORD is igniting (His) people everywhere really to pray. I don't know who all reads this, but I want to invite you to come, and pray with us, our times of prayer with the LORD are so special.

I posted yesterday, and made a point that God wants to know you, and said that, that basically means to me that He wants room in your life to guide you and correct you--and ultimately bless you. So I was reading this morning and I came across this verse!

1 Corinthians 8:3:

"But if anyone loves God, this one is known by Him."

 God wants to know His people, He wants us to move with His Spirit, and pray, and sing with His Spirit. He wants us to love Him, so that we may be the ones who are known by Him.

Honestly, I don't know all the way what it means to be known by God, but He is stirring my heart to be known by Him-To love Him--With all of my heart soul mind and strength--[I would love to hear your insights on being known by God! This is something I believe we need to dig deep into]-- There is something that happens in the heavenly realms, I believe, when God's people start to really love Him wholeheartedly. When I love God with all of my heart soul mind and strength, I believe that He is moved, and is motivated to pour out His Spirit on me. I am stirred to let you know that His heart is just as stirred when you focus all that you are on loving Him.

So I want to encourage you, in the LORD, to do whatever He is calling you to do to love Him, and to obey Him.

And by the way, I just wanted to let you know, and encourage you that our hearts is what the LORD sees, He sees your efforts to love Him wholeheartedly, and that is what matters to Him, because none of us can love Him perfectly, without messing up. Part of loving Him, is knowing and accepting the grace He has for us when we fall. I really just feel strongly for those who let their failures stop them from running the race, because in Christ we have total victory no matter what mistakes we make, there is so much forgiveness, and love in Christ that even when we keep on falling into sin, His arms are wide open waiting for us to run into His embrace. So be encouraged, and blessed that we do not live for a God, who is demanding, and mean, but we serve a God who is living and abounding in love and kindness.  Keep on drawing near to Him when you fall, we all fall, we just need to always come back to Him, and love on Him, and be loved by Him. There is nothing better than being loved by Jesus in our weakness. There is no greater thing than to be loved completely, by the God of the universe who is completely and totally swept away by one single glance from our eyes. He is captivated by our gaze. OH WHAT LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  God loves you so much, don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise.--> YOU ARE LOVED BY GOD--THE LOVER.

Just Always Remember this--

You are loved, and you are a lover.--That is truth, and its all we need.

Jesus LOVES you guys SO MUCH!!! 

Be Blessed, and Be ENCOURAGED!! The LORD is with you. 

Blessings! 

Thank You Lord Jesus.You Who are so GOOD, and ALWAYS FAITHFUL!! 

You who are perfect, and blessed among men, thank you so much for what you are doing in the lives of those who read this blog. In Jesus Name.

---Intercession---

Lord, Jesus, I want to tell you right now God, that I love you so much, and as Your Bride, we declare to you that we love you! You have stolen our hearts, and have caused us to crave You alone, and to know You. Jesus, You are fairer than the sons of men, and You are brighter than the stars in the sky, I just ask in Jesus' Name that You would rend the heavens and come down, and show us how to love You. Please meet with us LORD, and right now I just want to thank You for always being with us, and blessing us. We love You. In Jesus Name. Amen
