Endless Alleluia... Cory Asbury

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XI-nkc4xqHM

1 Samuel 3: 8-11
I can't say enough about Christian music, and how much it speaks to my heart and brings me peace and strength.

This song relaxes me. Peace comes to every part of me!

It's so true. In the morning when I rise to meet Him, He's the first thought on my mind. Like a little kid I say, "speak Lord, what do you have to tell me today?"

I love spending my mornings with being in His presence. Sometimes I don't want to leave. Someday I never will. His word is precious and so alive! It's not just a book. If you go at reading it like it's something that you should do, or have to do, it won't speak to you.

It's His love letter to us. Just like if you had a relationship with someone who went away for a very long time, and the only way you had to communicate was by writing to each other. I will never forget, when I was dating my husband to be, and he moved to California for a while. I couldn't wait to receive his letters. It made me feel so close to him. I would read them over and over. It was as if I could almost feel his presence through the words. Look at the bible and the written word like that, and you won't read it the same anymore. I may never understand everything I read it. But one thing I know for sure, He loves me!

We only have this moment to live this life. Don't miss out on the most beautiful love relationship with Jesus. Don't miss the countless miracles all around you that point only to Him. Spend time with Him. Cling to Him. Let Him begin to be the first and last thought on your mind everyday. Experience the kind of peace it brings you.
 
Much love

The King is among us..... Elevation Worship




Little did I know when I woke up with the word consecrate, and the lyrics of a beautiful song, "consecrate yourselves to me, and you will see amazing things," that God was really going to show me something so beautiful right after I prayed, and in His PERFECT TIMING that only He can do. No coincidence! Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one He's listening to at the moment, and this moment was extra special!

Right now I have dear friends who are battling cancer of some kind, and going through some rough treatment. As I left my house this morning at 4:30 am, it was cool out and the stars were BRILLIANT! I leaned against my car in awe and just stared for a moment. So many thoughts going through my mind in a blink. I began to lift up a prayer for my friends. Before I could finish saying, "Jesus hear my prayer," a shooting star shot all the way across the sky like one I've never seen before. I mean, I've seen shooting stars before, but not like this, and not in the most perfect timing. I'm not one who needs signs and wonders, but when God wants to show Himself off, it will take your breath away.

Do you give your time and attention to God Almighty? Psalm 8:3, The Creator of the stars and universe. Desiring to know Him more and more through His Son Jesus Christ. That's the definition to consecrate oneself, and yes, He will show you amazing things. What dad doesn't like to show himself off to his kids. My dad did, and so does my heavenly Father.

Psalm 5: 1-3 and 11-12, "Listen to my words Lord, consider my lament. Hear my cry for help, my King and my God, for to You I pray. In the morning Lord You hear my voice; in the morning I lay my request before You and wait expectantly...... let all who take refuge in You be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread Your protection over them, that those who love Your name may rejoice in You. Surely, Lord, You bless the righteous; You surround them with favor as a shield."

Much love

Center of Your Love..... Kim Walker (Jesus Culture

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsk-6l4gEqw

I love this song so much! To me it's not just words, it's praise, worship, a prayer of thanks to my Jesus to where He has taken me so far in this life's journey. 

Jesus prays for us before He goes to the cross in John 17: 15-26. We truly were created to be the center of His love. To glorify Him no matter what we are going through. It's the example He gave us all through the bible.

I talk to a lot of people in my day of work. I love when the conversations are about anything that has to do with Jesus. One day was really good when someone brought up suffering. They said they don't believe they should be going through what they are going through, or any other kind of suffering.  I was like, really, and then the Holy Spirit took over from there.
Look at the first verse in John 17 where Jesus looked toward heaven and prayed. His hour has come to die, but not an easy death by any means! He would suffer greatly before He died, and yet all He wanted to do was bring glory to His Father through it all.

God is always on our side. He is the rock we should cling to. Abide in Him and He will abide in us, John 15: 4-9. We are all going to suffer one way or another at some point in life. Some people suffer more than others all through their life . I've seen people with faith who suffer, and I've seen people who don't believe who suffer. Big difference in how they carry their suffering. I truly believe it's what you cling to. It's Who you draw close to.
No one wants to suffer, and either did Jesus. He even asked His Father to take the cup from Him. But in the same prayer He said, "Not my will but Yours."

I couldn't get through one day without Jesus. "He's the One that carries me. He's the voice that stirs up inside me. He's the fire that roars life inside me"....
All I can say is "Thank You for being such a good Father. I know You are for me. I know You are with me. Here's the biggest difference in many of Gods created beings... "The God of more than enough is living inside me." Have you asked Jesus to come into your life? To make Himself at home in you? It will change your life forever!
Much love
