Merry Christmas!!!!! I am thinking about just how amazing this day is, to celebrate Jesus' first coming, and to think of how He is doing a new thing and this is the time to prepare ourselves for His second coming. He's not a baby in a manger anymore, He's not a broken man on a cross! He is going to come in His glory, because He is the man in the glory. Right now I think of all those who don't have homes like mine, and how blessed I am to have been born into my family. This reminds me to pray, this Christmas is different for me, I am viewing things in new ways, in refined ways, in humble ways. When we look at things in old, prideful ways like those of the Pharisees, we are filled with bad, but when we look with thankful hearts, we are blessed with all of the spiritual blessings in Christ Jesus. 

I want to encourage us to pray for those who are in need, ask the LORD if He has it for you to give yourself in any way, or to give your money, ask Him how He wants you to bless Him today,  no matter what ends up under the tree on Christmas morning, whether it is a lot, or none at all--- We are equally blessed in Christ. And He is our portion.

Be Blessed today!!

Well today is Christmas Eve, and tomorrow is Christmas. I haven't had so much time to do much today, but i just want to say that when we are fully engaged with Jesus and heaven 24/7 ---which is completely possible---- our days somehow end up being wonderful no matter what happens throughout the day. Be blessed, i love you guys, and may the LORD take you from glory to glory. much love to you!!!!

The LORD has been showing me lately how important Love is, because He is LOVE.... So you have to know that, that is kinda really important. I opened up to 1 Corinthians 13 today, and the LORD was just showing me some things I never took into consideration about the chapter, and I began to think about all of the things it lists. One verse says "If I speak with the tongues of men and angels, but have not love then I have become a sounding gong or a clanging cymbal." So I began to think of the hundreds and thousands of people who can speak in tongues(and of course I don't know them but I know there are a lot of people who can) and I wonder if they all are just completely consumed with the fire of His love. I wonder how many gongs and clanging cymbals there are. As a church people have taken on the prophetic, as a church people have taken on character, and there is so much separation, it's like Baptists are afraid of Pentecostals, when we all are in need of one thing. 
Maybe if we had love corporately we would be unified, maybe if we would take our eyes and look at love in the face we would be changed. These things make me think, these thoughts can start fire, or cause division. It is our choice to love, and I am not saying at all that there is anything wrong with "this" or "that" denomination I am saying it is time for all of the body of Christ to cry out and repent. It is time to fast and pray and weep between porch and alter. It is time to contend for the sake of LOVE. It is time to believe in God to send the rains of revival. Jesus is coming quickly, and we are the only ones who choose how to prepare ourselves. We have all sinned, and we have time to cry out for mercy. So let's cry out.

Let's take these next few days to challenge the powers and principalities of darkness in this city, it is our job to declare war on anything that hinders love.

What does your heart say about this? 
What does the Word say about this??
Think about this for the rest of the day today, and do indeed declare war. Decide to be happy instead of sad, to be glad and not mad, we control our emotions. 

May the LORD bless you today!!

First thing's first.

I am sorry for posting so late, I have been busy today. Sunday's are usually pretty busy for me. It is in my heart to just share with you that the LORDS plans for you are so much more amazing than you know. His heart is just longing for you to know Him. Sometimes, I just sit before Him, and I say something like "God, I feel like you don't even know how much I want YOU!!" and then I think, and correct myself, saying like, "Um, actually I don't think I know how much you want me...." my bad. He is the most passionate, most loving, most amazingly wonderful God we couldn't have asked for, because our minds don't think that outside the natural.

Don't you want to know that love? I was also thinking about how I want to reach my full potential with Him, and just wondering how He has for me to do that. Because everything in life right now for me is so hectic, time is flying by, and I feel like sometimes lose myself in all of it, but thank goodness at the end of the day I find myself in Him. I can't imagine how horrible life would be without Him. 

So many people are missing out and it is a sad thing! I can't imagine how God feels about them, I mean His heart is so burdened for His children. 

And there is something we can do about it. 

LOVE....Love is an action verb word.
Its sometimes our option, and its the way to go.

Hello friends!!! I want to acknowledge that Christmas is coming up, and that means a lot of things.... Every time I go tout shopping with my Mom, or with friends I just get a little sad; It's like so many people are living for the wrong things, and you can just see materialism. Our culture is material driven, and so many people are okay with that, it is in the church, in the schools, and maybe it  is even in your own home. One thing I know for sure is, and many others have learned the hard way, is that ONLY GOD can satisfy, there is a scripture in the Psalms that says "As a deer pants for water, my soul pants for you" something like that, and when I think about this I think about how if deer do not get water they die, so when we are filled with the Holy Spirit we won't die(like our spirit-person, there will come a point when we will die), and I think of the things of this earth that we try to get satisfied with, I consider them acid, so no wonder people who find their fill in material things find themselves in even more pain and confusion and hurt, not to mention depression than before. A lot of times, I realize that the only thing we can ever do is pray, and a lot of people are losing their zeal for prayer, so many are forgetting that our God, who is bigger than anything and everything, listens to us when we make ourselves weak and pray, when we realize that their is nothing we can do by our own strength. The way of God is voluntary weakness, I am trying with all that I am to be humble, and to spend my time wisely, and it is a hard thing to accomplish sometimes, but it all counts. Our prayers matter to Him. So I want to encourage you this week of Christmas, to let, and allow the hunger and thisrt for righteousness overcome you, I encourage you to press into God's heart, and love Him, and spend time with Him. He is so wonderful!! I love you guys, I hope you are blessed today.
