A Life of Love.

--Meditation--

Philippians 1:9-11

Revelation 2:4

---From the Secret Place---

   When I think about these verses, I think about my relationship with the LORD. I am broken over this, the LORD is so in love with us... Just say that=>The LORD is so in love with ME!<=...... I mean this is no small thing, and I know I have talked about this, and wrote about this a lot, but the more I think about it the more I realize that I am no where close to showing Him the love I have for Him in any strong way, or whatever...... The FATHER longs to have a(for His) family, and the SON longs for His Bride. I feel in my life, like I could go farther, and I could know God better, but I have let myself talk me into the thought that I don't have what it takes, or it is unnecessary to go deeper in the ways God is calling me to go deeper..... But isn't that loving God on my own terms.---- Yes.

I am so guilty of that, but here is the deal. GOD SEES ME. He sees me in my struggle. He sees my little efforts, and He sees the sacrifices I make, whether they are big or small. The thing about all of this though, is that HE LOVES ME. HE SEES MY EFFORTS, and HE LOVES IT!

I have forgotten, it seems like, that I move His heart. He loves me. I don't even know what that means. What am I willing to give, and what am I willing to do to know what LOVE really, REALLY IS.

What am I willing to do to get more of Christ's love. I believe this calls for drastic measure. This means to turn my eyes away from WORTHLESS THINGS! How far am I willing to go???? What can I go without??? What will benefit my relationship with the LORD if I give up a few things??

What if so many people actually took a step closer to the LORD in their love relationship with Him. What if we took steps closer. Giving Him more of our time.

Will facebook matter in 20 years when it is forgotten about and there is all of the sudden a new web club thing?

Will all of the time wasted on the Internet, and on the TV matter in eternity??

What will matter is how we used our time. 

In eternity - What will matter is how we walk out our LOVE RELATIONSHIP with CHRIST!

How far am I willing to go. We as the Bride, and we, as the church need to pull ourselves together SO THAT we may lose ourselves in His gaze.

Wow..... You and I should read Psalm 27, and I will be posting again tomorrow.

----Intercession----

Jesus, please help us. Please please come and help us LORD to do your will. Please HELP US FATHER to cry out to You from the depths of our hearts. God, please come and reveal who You are to us. Jesus, we love You, and we need You. We need You to TRULY LOVE YOU. We want You! I pray LORD that You would raise up those who will voluntarily love you with all of their heart, soul, mind, and strngth. Jesus, I pray that as You call Your people to the wilderness, that we would responde. I pray that You would make known to us the things that grasp, and STEAL our gaze away from You. Make known to us LORD what is on Your mind. We love you!! We want to see you lifted HIGH! Your Name is above ALL NAMES!!!! Thank You for all that you do for us! In Your Name LORD Jesus. Amen.

Pray, and ask the LORD to help you spend your time wisely, and ask Him if there is anything He wants you to do to say no to the things of the world, just to show Him that you love Him.

Think of it this way. Does the Love of your life HAVE to bring you flowers?-No. They do that because they want to, and because they care.

For some of us, we could give up some things that don't really matter too much to just show Him that we love Him. To just show Him that we care. To show Him that we want more time with Him than we do on facebook, or myspace, or whatever. I am not saying any of this to convict you. I am throwing this before you, and it is your responsibility in the LORD to search out what I say to see how it is truth along with the WORD of God.

Jesus

is

LOVE

Be blessed!

Kasey.... Jesus loves me-and you!

--From the Secret Place--

Hey you guys! As this week has gone by I keep on thinking about that one verse......'We love(Him), because He first loved us'.... and I also think about loving Him with my whole heart, and keeping Jesus as my first Love.

 But really, we LOVE because HE LOVES US. He loves us right now.

The thing that keeps on blowing me away is that He loves me, and He DELIGHTS in ME!! Even when I am soo weak. Then I also think about those who have been caught up in sin, and things like pornography, or sexual immorality, and the amazing thing is, whether you tell a lie, or you have been caught up in pornography for years, if we repent and turn to the LORD with ALL of our hearts, He accepts us, and He LOVES US!! He loves us no matter where we are in life. It is one thing to say that, I know because I find myself saying it a lot, but how many times have we experienced it? I know I need to experience it daily, and I know one thing is for sure, is that it is worthy of searching out, I really want to know that Love. I have only tasted.

 

 He is putting a call out to His people, and it is simple, He wants us. He wants us a lot. Those who want Him, will pursue Him. How badly do you want Him? How far are you willing to go? What are you willing to do, and what are you willing to give up to have more of HIM?? He will pour out His Spirit to those who diligently pursue Him.

Think about it.

PRAY about it.

---Intercession---

Father, I want to come before you in the Name of Jesus, and I just ask in Your Name to raise up a cry in the hearts of those reading this, and in the hearts of men to know TRUE LOVE. Raise it up withing me also to seek your face with all that we are, no matter what the cost, let us live abandoned lives, let us live lives of devotion to You. I pray that You would make Yourself known to those who seek You diligently, who give themselves to lifestyles of prayer, fasting, and intimacy with You. Bless those who bless, and curse those who curse. LORD, you are MY LORD, and I will earnestly seek you. I love You, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

What is Religion?

I have been going through quite a time in life, it has been very challenging. How easy is it to just get worried, and take it into your own hands? Like God doesn't know what He is doing, or He is expecting you to know how to please Him? And I was thinking about how it is so easy to just become religious about what's in the Word, and what we are to do as Christians.

I have my own little definition about being religious--For me it is being legalistic about our convictions.... ouch.

It's kinda when you get into the whole routine thing, and really it messes you up because usually you get into the attitude, and mindset that our time with God is a chore, when it is like the GREATEST HONOR!

I find myself doing this at times, and when you think about it, it really greives the heart of God.

Tomorrow I will be posting daily more, and I just want to stand as an encouragement to you, and push you on to get into the word, and search yourself. 

We, at times, get into these funks where we don't feel passionate about God, or we don't feel like living it out, or having our quiet times, but love it stronger than feelings, I don't think Jesus really wanted to get on that cross that day, but I know that He wanted love more than He cared for the pain He was yet to suffer.

I hope this is making sense, I will be posting this next week on a more focused subject. But I love you guys so much!! And even better the LORD loves you SOOOOOOO MUCH MORE!!!!! 

Be blessed!

Kasey

Keep going.

It has been such an experience for me these past few days, just searching for God, and His will. It's weird but sometimes I have a hard time receiving His peace, and the fact that He has great plans for my life. I have just had to speak that over myself....... 'You have plans for me'.......'You love me'...........'You care for me'..........'and You don't want me to be confused, or to confuse myself'.

The truth is that He just wants to be with me, and He wants me to be with Him..... ALL THE TIME.

How awkward would it be if you walked into an empty building except your spouse.... (and I'm not married, but I know this would be weird) and you didn't say anything to them. What if you just ignored the love of your life??

That is the exact same picture of us, when we go through our day, and it sucks... because something was missing. But there is one thing that fills our every need. 

This is what is going through my mind, and as I think about these things I am reminded that He understands when life gets rough, and He is offering Himself to us to help. But is the only time we are going to accept Jesus for help when we ourselves are having to make sacrifices that we don't choose to make. The truth is that we are in desperate need of Him every single second of our lives. We desperately need Him. I desperately need Him.... In all my problems and in all of my joy... I need Him. What gets me through these times is the Word of God. This is a lot of randomness.... I will be getting more focused this week... in case you were wondering. =]

Hey you guys, we just had a justice teaching at church, and they showed this video. It is talking about sex slavery,

and I just want to encourage you to really begin to get involved to pray, and to do something about what is on God's heart in this hour, and I believe it is justice,

and I believe you have a part in establishing it.

To see more from this site check out love146.org

I just want to say a prayer for you.

Lord, you are the God of love, and your plans are perfect. All you do is perfect, and Your plans for our lives are perfect.

Thank you so much for loving us. Thank you so much for caring for us and watching over us.

Please let us be Your light in the dark places, please use us, and be with us.

I give you myself, please come and set fire my offering that I bring.

We love you LORD! THANK YOU JESUS!

I just pray that you would establish justice on the earth.

The LORD is so good, and His mercy endures forever.... and ever... and ever.

Guard your heart-It is the WELLSPRING of LIFE.

I have been thinking today about obedience, and just about how God delights in me when I am.

He is pleased with me when I am obedient, and He is pleased with you when you are obedient.

Something I need to realize in my own personal life is that (most people know this) but sometimes God calls me to do things that really don't make sense, and sometimes they are things I want to do, really most of the time they are things that I want to do. But what happens when He calls us to do things that we do not want to do?

What happens when He calls you to say no-when He calls you to give up something that is close to your heart.

This week I have been praying more and more and the conclusion that I arrive at is that on judgement day when nothing else matters besides what the Father says of me I'm not going to care about anyones 'oppinion'--(INCLUDING MY OWN) SO=> Why should I be so concerned right now that it would effect my choice as to follow the Father, or follow the crowd.

Will we be found so concerned about ourselves, and so concerned about what we want to do that we miss God's will? OR will we are we going to be people so caught up in what the Father is doing that we are the ones walking around filled with knowlege of the secret things of God.

That was a bit of random. I don't know..... Hopefully you benefit from these posts. =]

Hello Blog Readers!

Jesus is coming.

I have been thinking about this more and more and more this past month. The more I meditate, and think, and ponder this, the more I feel, and know even when I don't feel the urgency.

But there is so much to be done before He comes back.

That is why He is raising up forerunners.

That is why He is raising up messengers.

And that is why He is raising up Nazirite.

Let's look into this a little more deeply...

This age leads up to a wedding. To the wedding of the Lamb. Where the Bride of Christ, and the Faithful Bridegroom King Jesus will become one.

For His Bride to be made ready, and this is obvious, we must go into preparation, especially because the wedding......is SOON.

So....

How are we to prepare the bride?

How are we going to prepare ourselves?

Will we recognize our Jesus, our Bridegroom.... Well! The better question is, Will Jesus recognize us.

He is waiting for His BRIDE to cry out.

Not the BODY OF CHRIST, and not the CHURCH.

But His 

BRIDE.

Jesus is coming.
