Testify.. Need to Breath

 https://youtube.com/watch?v=CDcYsyx2mCg&si=SaI1wFg8viTHX7kO

Open the door of your heart. Get to know, really know our Creator. Don't be a christian just by name. Be one who values your salvation. Be the one who overcomes all that satan wants to destroy you with. We don't need drugs, or alcohol, or a boyfriend or a girlfriend, or always feeling like we need to get away. We need intimacy with Jesus. Start with Him first and then watch those things fade away because He satisfies. Jesus talks a lot about being an overcomer and rewards in the book of Revelation. The Lord repeatedly promises rewards to those who are conquerors, to those who prove faithful to Him. Rev 2:17 " He who has an ear. Let him hear what the spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden mana." Don't you want that? Revelation. 2:7,11,17, and more areas, John 14:21 " The one who has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. And the one who loves me will be loved by my father. I also will love him and will reveal myself to him". Did you get that? Obedience is a part of knowing Him more. Personally, I can't get enough. I love seeking Him in His word daily. And if one of those rewards is for God to show himself more to me, than that's the first thing I want. The bible tells us that those who seek Him find Him. He stands at the door of our hearts and knocks. I hear that knock every morning. Can't wait to sit with Him.

Lord God, may our hearts always hunger for more of You

Wow, these lyric!!!

How many people go to church every Sunday but they remain the same. They may even be able to quote scripture but even Satan knows scripture.  Just going to church doesn't make anyone more godly. It's being the Word, hungry for the Word,  and letting the Word change you and stop making excuses for your lifestyle. Jesus is the Word. We really have no excuse to be more godly. The Word tells us we have everything we need. 2 Peter 1: 3 "His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness." ... 

But if you really don't know the Word and you're only going through religious motions, this scripture fits well.2 Timothy 3: 5 "having a form of godliness but denying its power"..... 

When we accepted Jesus Christ to be our Savior the Holy Spirit entered us. So if the Holy Spirit, the Word,  isn't changing us to look more like Jesus, my opinion is we have to think, are we really saved. God wants to grow Himself inside us. So we have to feed ourself the Word. Not just depend on pastors or other people or bible studies. He wants an intimate relationship with us. We should be on the same page with God. What breaks his heart should break ours.

Lord God, may our life glorify You.

Are you restless? Have you ever wondered what is missing in your life because you're never satisfied? Our hearts will be restless until we rest in Him. No wonder why He made that the number one commandment, Mark 12:29-30. Loving the Lord God with all our heart, mind and soul and strength. Do you want that rest? Then ask Him for it and walk in it.  Return to Him with all your heart. He knows what we put first in our life. 

 Just think how good you feel when your kids call you just to see how your doing. Just to talk to you and not want anything. I can only imagine how God feels when we just want to spend time with Him and not ask Him for anything. Just to wake up and thank Him for another day. Just to sit in His presence. There's nothing like it. I can't explain it. I only know that is true. I never feel alone.

 Jeremiah 6 :16 ...ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.But you said, ‘We will not walk in it.’ 

Isaiah 30: 15 This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says:

“In repentance and rest is your salvation,

    in quietness and trust is your strength,

    but you would have none of it.

For Your glory always Lord

What is your idea of this precious gift of salvation? Do you still walk in your old ways? What things in your life have actually been changed? We should desire the things that God desires. We should look at things so differently then we used to. Things that we thought were okay then,  are not okay anymore. The things that used to rule us don't overpower us anymore. Things we used to watch. Substances we used to take to feel better. They have lost their power. A key question to ask yourself is, has God changed me? Is this gift of the Holy Spirit cleaning up this house? We are the temple of the living God. He desires to live His life in us and through us. When you are born again, the spirit of God changes us. The more you seek Him. The more He changes you. Are you seeking Him to help make a difference In this world, or just for your own selfish needs? 

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:The old has gone, the new is here!

Live to bring Him glory

For Thine is the Kingdom, Thine is power and the Glory forever.....

Our Gods Kingdom will come, and His will will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Are you ready for that day that seems so close? 

What good is it doing anyone to bash Trump or bash Harris. I am guilty of it too. It may be making us feel better and thinking that we might change someone's decision, but the outcome will be God's. We are to vote, leave it in His hands and not worry. He's in control. Don't let things surprise you if they don't turn out the way you thought they should. Whoever thought that God would allow His own Son to be brutally, beaten and crucified for us. But through His son's death and resurrection came grace and mercy and forgiveness for all who would receive it. Who knows what God is going to do with this election. He already knows. We just wait in prayer for everything to unfold. And all we should be praying is for His will to be done, and His kingdom to come.

God tells us in his word over and over again that His ways are not ours. To lean, not on our own understanding of things, Isaiah 55:8, proverbs 3:5-6. 

I love in God's Word that He tells us over and over, not to worry. He tells us to pray about everything. This election is going to turn out as He has planned and allowed. He is in total control and never is unaware of what is happening. He uses EVERYTHING for His good and glory and the expansion of His Kingdom. Remember, the devil is God's devil.Just a puppet on His rope. If you know the end of the story, Victory is ours who believe. You know that old saying.. You get so much rope until you hang yourself with it. Well, that's exactly the way it's gonna go. The devil knows it, and that's why he's working real hard to take many with him. I pray that you're ready when that last chapter happens. Because none of us know the day or the hour.

For your glory Lord

What a gift... Red rock worship

Working out our salvation as this scripture says, what does that mean to you? Is it just saying with your mouth that you believe in Jesus Christ? Then you make the next step of being baptized, going to church, reading your Bible. It's so much more than that. There's no fear of the Lord anymore, like this scripture says. People pick and choose like God is some kind of buffet God. Our hearts should break for what breaks His heart. We should desire to look more and more like Him, because with each day as the bible says, we die daily to self.

Philippians 2:12 Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling,13 for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose."....   Jesus tells us in scripture to remain in Him so that we can bear much fruit. Apart from him we can do nothing, John 15:4. The fruit of the spirit are, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, and self control, Galations 5:22-23.... 

We all need to do a self check. I want to know that I am truly His because the day seems like it is approaching fast.

Luke 12:40 "You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”

For Your Glory Lord

Ezekial 43:1-12

When the glory of the Lord returns to the church, only then will the nation be blessed.

For God to return to the culture, His conditions have to be met. The house of Israel was defiling God's Holy Name by their prostitution, and the lifeless idols. Verse 8 really gets me. They placed there threshold next to His threshold. Government then, and government now, still intrudes on the rule of God. Romans 13:1-4. The role of the government is to act on God's behalf. But we have allowed politics to dictate to the kingdom of God by keeping our mouths shut too long. Isaiah 5: 20-21 " Woe to those who call evil good in good evil.... Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight."... God has a view on everything and we should see as He sees. Remove God and we will continue to be a nation that goes under. Continuing to decline. Romans 1: 18-32, If we no longer look to God for his perspective on things He will continue to allow decay. Psalm 33:12, A nation is blessed who recognizes His policies. Psalm 22:28, Leave God out and the nations are in trouble. Government should reflect God for the well being of society. If we want to be a blessed nation, we need to have God's perspective on all things, not just what we choose.

He is Holy.

Lord God, we are praying. As Your Word says, to seek Your face and turn from our wicked ways.Then you will hear from heaven, 2 Chronicles 7:14
