Fresh Wind .... Hillsong

 https://youtu.be/SdDdMzt_w2U

I haven't been able to write a blog for a few weeks now. Usually my heart wallows up with words and scripture when I have a song that continues to ring in my head. But this time I just couldn't.  God was trying to speak to me,  but I wasn't hearing with His heart, and He sure had His flashlight on mine.

With all the ugly going on, and all the lessons I have been learning on truth, I thought that the posting I was doing on FB with scripture, God would be happy about. Maybe He was glad it was being told. But there was something more going on I wasn't catching onto. It's His word I thought, so it's the truth. I truly thought, It may even help someone. Problem was, I thought I was doing it in love. But God sees to the deepest part of our hearts that we don't even realize. But today I heard Him loud and clear.

From where I was in my reading in the Bible, in James 3: 1-12, I was very much convicted.  Especially when reading the verses 6-10. Verse 6 "The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell. Verse 8, "but no man can tame the tongue, it is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness." ..  Don't miss that, "made in God's likeness."

Then I read this in a devotional today..."sin will kill the life of God in us. We must mentally bring ourselves to terms with this fact of sin".... As a Christian I know I don't even have to speak it. All it has to do is be in my thoughts and I'm sinning.  So yes, I may be writing loving truth, but what is really going on inside me. There's no fooling God. He will reveal it to you one way or another.  He desires for us to have a healthy Christ center character.

  Every single human being on the face of the Earth is a creation of God. They may be far from God and very different. But they are still His creation.  We should be people of prayer. Like it says in Ephesians 6: 18,  "And pray in the spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests." 

 I won't stop speaking the truth. I won't let the enemy stop that. But I will read Psalm 139: 1-4 and 23-24 before I do.   How can you go wrong if you ask God to search your heart first. "Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely".... or Jeremiah 17: 9-10.." I the Lord search the heart and examine the mind"  Don't miss that, "examine the mind."

"So we the church who bear Your Light. Lamp aflame, city bright. King and Kingdom come is what we pray. We need a fresh wind. Pour Your spirit out."

Holy Spirit help us.  If we want to see the overcoming of Jesus in our life, we need to become poor and spirit, Matthew 5: 3.

Ephesians 3: 7-12 ...." To make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things. His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, according to his eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord"......  God's great plan is carried out through the church.

Sad truth,  revival won't happen until we turn from sin. Sin that is crystal clear in the written word of God. We the church, need to be one with Jesus, not with what the world calls ok. That is a deception of the enemy.  Love is truth. Truth is Jesus! He sets the standards. Speak the truth in love. What makes us mad, turn to prayer. Oh how I personally need His strength in this area. Evil only does what it knows to do. We need to do what we know to do, pray.  Because our fight is not against flesh and blood, Ephesians 6:12, " For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." Saten loves anger, but he hates prayer. SO PRAY!

Ephesians 2: 19-22 " Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God's people and members of God's household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.  In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his spirit.

"We need a fresh wind. The fragrance of heaven. Pour Your spirit out. For hearts that burn with holy fear. Purified in faith and deed. Refiners fire strengthen what remains."

Lord Jesus, let it begin with me.

The commission... CAIN

Last words are precious from loved ones who are getting ready to leave this world and enter into eternity.  You know that you are getting close to hearing the final words from your loved ones so you get as close as you can.  I will never forget the peace on my husband's face, and on my father's face when they were getting ready to leave this world. I will never forget their last words.

We are not asked of much from our precious Savior. Matthew 28: 18-20.

 Jesus left the disciples with these last words of instruction. They were under his authority, they were to make more disciples, they were to baptize and teach these new disciples.  It is not an option, but a command to all who call Jesus Lord.

Paul gives Timothy a commission before he is executed in 2 Timothy 4:1-2.

  In 2nd Timothy, Paul knew that he would soon be executed and he wrote his final thoughts. He passed them on to Timothy, passing to him the torch of leadership. Reminding him of what was truly important, and encouraging him in the faith.

So let's tell all who Jesus puts in our path of what He's done for us.  Jesus has faith in us that we will do greater things. Let's not let Him down. His Spirit is with us wherever we go. 

For Your glory Lord
