Love One Another

We are growing together in love. God is maturing us and
teaching us that we must love one another. How do we do
this when we are part of such a big family? We need wisdom
and knowledge to know how to respond to one other.
Each member is at a different place in the body of Christ.
Each member is not at the same place in the Lord as often some
are just saved and others have been walking with our Lord for
many years. How do we respond to what others say and do?

Are we always responding in love? Is there a way of saying something
in a kind way? What do we do when someone has a different opinion than
we do? We are not to accuse one another but love one another.
We were told that this is what would make us different. Do we have
love one for another? Do you have love for another? This is where the
rubber hits the road beloved. Are you walking in love today? Am I?
Let us choose the higher road. The narrow road that leads to live and
love one another as Christ loved His church.

Pray for one another and put a watch at the door of our heart and
a bit in our mouths. James mentions our tongue. We need to walk softly
before the Lord. We need to speak softly to one another. Our Words
need to be few. We need to allow the horses bit to be in our mouth.
God will use us as we allow His sweet presence to permeate our very
being. Speak softly, respond softly with words that lift up. Walk softly
before the Lord. God sanctify our tongues and let us be led of the Spirit
at all times. A friend loves at all times. Christ in us will help us to love
one another with a pure heart fervently. Ask the Lord that you will walk
in love toward your brother and sister’s today. By this shall men know
that you are Jesus disciple.


Scripture to Ponder

For we all stumble in many things.
If anyone does not stumble in word,
He is a perfect man, able to bridle the
whole body.
James 3:2 (NKJV)

Test And Try All Things

Do you know the voice of God?
Do you know when the Holy Spirit checks you?
There is that inner witness that tells you when things are right
and when they are wrong?
The Spirit will bear witness with your Spirit.
Do you at times have a nagging doubt.
It is not a nagging doubt but the Spirit of God speaking to
your heart.
Come close to Jesus.
You will know His voice.
Continue to press in and seek Him and wait on Him
until you know the truth.
You will know the truth and it will make you free.
Do not accept all that you hear even though the voices may be
convincing.
Test and try all things until you know that they are of the Lord.
These are the last days beloved and the enemy is walking around
like a roaring lion with His lies, often mingled with truth.
Be discerning and alert and take heed and as you seek the
Lord He will open your heart to the truth of His Word.
God’s Word is truth.
Hunger for it, desire it more than life and the Spirit of God
will speak to you.
The Word says that in the last days many will depart from the faith
and give heed to seducing spirits. If possible even the very elect
could be fooled.
Listen carefully to what the Lord is saying to you and when in doubt
that it is God continue to press in and wait until you are sure that
it is the Lord speaking to you.
Jesus Christ is the Spirit of truth and will lead and guide you into all truth.

Storm Clouds

The other afternoon as I looked heavenward I saw a group of clouds all blended together. In between I saw a little space of light colored sky. I saw storm clouds all around and a small space left for man to repent of His sin. The Lord is saying it is time to repent of sin and walk before Him with new fervor.

Put aside the sin that so easily besets you and run this race with fresh zeal. You have not yet completed the race before you and need to press in and go forward with new life flowing through you. Its time to get into the Word of God and begin to seek Him while He may be found.

Jesus is knocking at the door of your heart tonight and asking you why you are too busy to spend time with Him? What is holding you back? Put it aside and go forward and by His grace go forward one day at a time. Pray for the Nations and the Nations of the earth.
Time is short and there are storm clouds on the horizon that can only be dispersed through intercession.

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14)

Whatever He says to you to do, do it with all of your heart.

No Regrets

That moment came all too quickly with a phone call around five o'clock
in February, 2007 and it was to be one that would forever change our
lives. My Dad died that early morning of a heart attack. He was well
to the end of his life. To say the least, it was a shock to our natural
senses and yet not a surprise as the Lord had been preparing me for
seven years. How like God to gently,ever gently prepare His children
for what would soon occur.

Relationships can change in moments and this is why it is so very
important to love as Christ loved. We do not know what tomorrow
holds. Christ holds our future and we need to be ready at all times
to meet our maker. If you have difficulty with your love walk it is
time to make it right with those around you and not put it on hold.
I am ever grateful to God that I had a loving relationship with my
Dad and no regrets. If you have any things you have yet to take care
of do not wait. Let the Lord help you to reconcile the differences.
A phone call, a letter, a sit down together and a willingness to be
the first one to say sorry can make a big difference.
Do not put off till tomorrow what you can do today. Your words can
make the difference.

Take Time to Soak In His Presence

When you are too tired it is difficult to
do things well. You need to come aside and
just spend time with the lover of your soul.
Jesus is calling and saying "it is time to
come aside and spend time with me". You need
to take time to just be with him put on some
good soaking music and enjoy the quiet
peace that soaking brings. It is worth it to
just take time with Him and enjoy Him for
who He is. Come aside today and enjoy the
lover of your soul. He is waiting for you.

The Drawing of the Holy Spirit

We need to pray for the drawing of the Holy
Spirit in lives. Except the Spirit of God draw
a man he cannot come to the Lord. Pray
today and allow God to use you in intercession
with others. Allow God to use you to see
souls saved. Do you have a burden to see
men and women saved and come to the truth?
We need a burden for souls that only Christ
can give us. Pray today and ask the Lord to
give you a burden for the souls of men.
Too soon time will be up and what you do today
will count for eternity. What you pray today
will reap the eternal reward of seeing that
one come to Christ. He who wins souls is wise.

Are You Decreasing?

There is power in the name of Jesus over all
power of the enemy. Jesus has given you
the keys of the kingdom and you have been
given authority in His name. The degree of
authority you walk in will be determined by
your faithfulness in doing what He has asked
you to do. As you are obedient in the little
things that authority will increase. John the
Baptist said, that He must increase and I
must decrease. He was a wise man and the
Words that He spoke were truly inspired
by God. Decrease. Man does not like that
thought but it is the way of the cross. As
you become less and less Christ will become
more and more in you. What a lovely
thought to have less of self and more of
Jesus. Reach out to Him today and allow
Him to work in your heart. One day you
will hear well done thou good and faithful
servant. It will be worth it all on that day
when you hear, well done.

Strength for Each New Day

God has given you strength for one day at a time.
You need to put your trust in Him that He will
give you strength to go forward. His grace is
sufficient for you and His strength is made
perfect in your weakness. Do you feel weak
beloved? This is a good place to be for when
you are weak Christ is strong in you. Know
that you can do all things through Christ who
gives you the strength. Do not look at your
own weakness except to say, Lord I need you
to do all and be all in Me. Truly, you can of
your own self do nothing. This is the best
place to be and then you will living where
God intended you to live at the foot of the
cross. So beloved, today, take up you cross
and follow Jesus. He alone is the author and
finisher of your faith.

It Is Required of a Steward That A Man Be Found Faithful

God is looking for faithfulness and calling you to be
faithful. He is looking in this hour for faithfulness.
Continue to walk forward in faith and put total trust
in the Lord and believe Him for the things that He
has spoken to you. The Lord will never fail you.
Jesus never fails and not one word of Gods promises
will fail. Many are going through great trials and
testings but know this. At the end of your trials
you will come out pure gold. You will be Christlike
and Jesus will be seen in you. Though the tests
for the moment do not seem pleasant God is
working in you a far more eternal weight of glory.
Just allow the Lord to work in you and do not
struggle. Just rest in His hands and allow Him
to take you and mould you into His image.
How awesome to be formed into the image of God.
You are perfect now because of the blood of
Jesus but are being conformed to the image of
His dear Son. We often sing, O To be like Jesus
but do we truly mean it from the bottom of our
hearts. Lets mean it today when we ask the
Lord to work in our hearts. Let us mean it and
say, Lord change Me.

Pressing On And Allowing God To Change Us

There are days in our lives when we need to be
fully committed to pressing on to the mark of
the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. There are
moments that life does not always feel good and
things will seem to go contrary to the way that
we would like them to. It is in these days of
testing that we need to be more determined than
ever to press into God, hear what He is saying and
go forward. Today you need to decided to go
forward in your life and not look back. Look at
what the Lord is doing in you and determine
more than ever to serve the Lord. Rest assured
that the Lord is working in you and will have
His way. You will be more Christlike in the end
and your light will shine and glorify your Father
in Heaven.

Is The Church Sleeping in the Light?

There are times when God speaks and God's
people just do not hear. Yes we are human
and at times do tend to have selective hearing.
Our hearing can get us in trouble though
especially when the Lord is talking and we take
and file His words in our unsure column as we
are just not sure it is God. We need to walk in
wisdom and discern the times. We are living in
the last days of time. It is time to open our eyes
and listen with our heart to just what the spirit
is saying to His church. I wept tonight as I was
on a particular place online and I saw that they
were just plainly not seeing what the Lord was
saying. It is so sad that eyes are blind and hearts
are asleep and not seeing what is soon to come.
My heart was crying Lord let them see what you
are saying. Open their eyes that they may see.
So much is coming on the earth and we need to be
seeing and hearing God. Lord wake us up that we
would see and hear what you are saying to your
church. Let this be our cry.

Allow Your Faith to Deepen

FROM GOD'S HEART TO YOURS

There is a place in God to dwell and it is the secret
place of the most high. The Lord promises to keep
those that are His even during the most trying of
times. Do not despair but trust in the Lord God
for He promises to keep you who are committed to
Him in all your ways.

The Lord is a solid place to stand. He is that rock
in a hard place. You need to build your house on the
rock. All around you will be sand but in building on
the rock that is Christ you will be left standing.
Winds will blow. They will howl, but you who are
building on Christ will be left standing after the
storms of life have passed.

God is good and He is a faithful high priest. He was
tempted in all points as you are yet without sin.
Keep yourself pure. Keep yourself in the Word of
God and dig deep into it. Fill yourself up till you
are so full that it comes out of your mouth to others.

The Word is sharp and will minister to others and
when it flows from pure lips it shall surely become
planted in the lives of those around you. Allow
yourself to be a willing vessel that the Lord can use
in this hour. Tough times are here and growing
daily but so too should your faith in Christ be
deepening.

Many things that are coming on the earth will
cause fear but for you that are in Christ you need
to act in an opposite spirit and run to the Lord.
His arms are outstretched and open to our cry.
Cry out to Him beloved and He will hear you and
answer your prayers. Cry out to Him and know
that He is the Lord and that He speaks today.

The Lord will lead you and guide you into all truth
as you hunger and thirst for righteousness. Are
you hungry beloved? Are you thirsty?
Come to the rock and drink for that rock is Christ.
Come to the rock that is higher. Come to the
rock and stand. Having done all you will stand.

God will cover you and you need to allow your
trust to deepen. Allow it to deepen till nothing
shakes your faith in the Lord. Stand firm and
strong in Him today.
