Hide or SEEK?...

So many things come to mind this morning with all that is going on in Japan and other affected areas of the World. It's not just that daily details become insignificant in comparison to tragedy. This is true, but more so are we ready as Christians to help the world still see Jesus through Crisis? I mean how can we help others if we ourselves are shaken by the small things, like rising gas prices and food costs. How do we help bring strength and light to those who are being devastated by destructive walls of water and 8.9 earthquakes. The world isn't getting any less crazy...are WE ready?

Being prepared, thinking outside our normal, everyday routines and schedules, looking at the larger picture, seeing God in all of this, knowing our purpose in all of this...these are just a handful of the changes we need to make in ourselves as Christians. Let's dig even deeper still...yes, we want to hear from God, be led by the Holy Spirit, and follow in His perfect will for our lives. We want to fulfill our purpose and destiny on this earth, great! We even want to think more eternal and kingdom minded. There is more yet still! Just when we think that we are reaching for the seemingly unreachable, we are given a glimpse, a moment, a flash of something larger and greater still. Something we probably will never fully grasp while here on earth.

The revealing of our purpose in this place! It's more than being a Worship Leader, Pastor, Evangelist, Artist, Dancer, Business Owner, helping people, etc. The revealing of our purpose in a world that we know is going to crumble and fall. A world that is run by corrupt, deceitful, ugly, evil, satanic influence. A world being stripped of the knowledge and power of God. Illegal authority overbearing everything around us, because as Christians, as believer's in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, we walk around defeated, untapped from the Source, unrealized potential waiting to be manifested by our words and actions and faith. You and I are supposed to spend as much time as possible building and growing our relationship with God, our source, our strength, our everything. Our focus should be Him, but instead it is on Life. He is the Life! I can't help but think, how will they receive Christ now? How can people put faith in a God who supposedly "allows" for this catastrophe. (That is what the world sees, that is what they will say.) How do we effectively preach Jesus, prepare the way for His soon coming return, bring others into His presence, into His Kingdom? How? If we are so concerned with how we will pay bills, or even get to and from the places we go, feed our families, survive in a world that is crumbling, how will we help ANYBODY ELSE?

It is time we WAKE UP from the reality we are consumed by and start living in Jesus. We have to be ready, not just for survival, but for salvation. THE PEOPLE NEED GOD!!! THEY NEED HIM? It is our job as Christians to fill in the gap, cross them over the bridge to LIFE, FREEDOM, TRUTH, SALVATION, RESTORATION...

Where are the prayer warriors? Where are the intercessors? Where are the worshipers? Where are the disciples? Where are the Kingdom seekers? Where are the salty lights? Where are the Christians? Where are God's people? Let us Rise, Stand Up, and Take Back what belongs to the Kingdom of God! Let US be the ones bringing an IMPACT that is greater than any Tsunami or Earthquake. Let's bring the Quake of God, the Stirring and Shaking of the Holy Spirit, the manifestation of God's presence and power, let's bring JESUS....THROUGH US, God will move.

ARE YOU READY??????

Grabbing Hold of God...

I cannot convey the bountiful basket of fumbled feelings and erupted emotions that are radiating from me at the moment. All week as I have tried with everything in me to grasp Joy, grasp God, grabbing hold of the more instead of hanging on to the less, I am here in this place.

Do you think this place to be negative??? OH, NO!!! I am so filled with the very presence of God that even in the moments where my flesh is trying to escape, I have imprisoned it...I have allowed my spirit to be #1...I have to, you see...I cannot miss out on what God is doing and well my flesh just keeps getting in the way. What God has is greater than the biggest of my wildest imaginations or yours or any ones. What God is doing is Bigger than anything this Earth can even contain! Are we ready for it? I mean are we really ready?

I went to a concert with Ascend the Hill and Ember Days. I don't get to concerts much or have opportunity to see other Worshipers LIVE in action. It was a random opportunity I thoroughly enjoyed, not because of the bands, but because it was another opportunity for me to meet up with God. And OH did I meet Him. It was refreshing to just come into His presence in Worship. I closed my eyes the entire time and just allowed Him to consume me. It wasn't about the people, the place, any of it. It was just Me and Him! "Take me into Your presence, into Your glory, I am surrendered to You, there You can change me, and rearrange me, I need You!" That was my moment with Him. I say moment because it wasn't nearly long enough...I could stay there in that place with Him. But, life calls, kids call, school, work, ministry, it all calls...I must answer the call and enjoy every moment I get! Doesn't that scream IN LOVE! I mean it seems to be exactly the picture of Love between two...even though you must still fulfill the duties of life, you anticipate every secret, special, stolen away moment with your LOVE! I mean gee even on a deserted island you still have to focus time on finding food, lighting fires at night, building and maintaining your "home", you know its life wherever you are!

In this moment I found heaven, Jesus, His presence surrounding me...He spoke so clearly to me. It was as if every light, everywhere came on all at once...I GOT IT!!! Worship! I get it! The change we seek in our worship that really connects us with Him...it's when we come to Him desiring to serve Him and not seeking to be served. Let me expound: I saw the woman laying at the feet of Jesus, washing His feet with her hair and tears. She came to Him and served Him. Her desire for Him, to be in His presence, to serve Him, to give Him all her love, all she had, to wipe His feet with her hair and wash them with her tears...I mean you can't get more serving than that! Oh how beautiful a picture we were given of Worship. That is worship!!! It's not that we are wrong for desiring to be filled by Him or touched by Him or loved by Him...those things are given.....he gives us that always! It is who He is...BUT it is when we come to Him that way more! When we come to into Worship with Him to serve Him and offer ourselves up wholly to Him, not thinking about the return, just because we cannot contain ourselves but to reach out and grab hold of Him to give Him OUR Love. That's when we become as One with each other. That's when our relationship clicks and connects together. Our love can never compare to His, but are we willing, desiring to present to Him, to lay at His feet, all we have whatever that looks like, knowing that He will take it and make it more beautiful, more multiplied, more marvelous. In His hands everything is Golden!

Step into His marvelous light and let Him shine through you....making you not only white as snow but Gold and Glorious as He is the fullness of Glory!


1Peter 2:9 "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:" 



Numbers 6:24-26 "The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: 25The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: 26The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace." 

Hilarious or Not!?!?...

I find it quite hilarious how all of these "Illuminati Exposed" YouTube videos are coming out by the droves. Why hilarious? Well, because as I read through the comments people post, all of the supposed Christians are using the foulest language to defend their belief in God, Conspiracy, and the Anti-Christ. I mean, really?!?!?! Yep, that will show 'em alright! Come on!!! 


This is why the world thinks so poorly of Christianity. I don't know the purpose behind the *increased desire* to expose every Celebrity. I definitely believe in Conspiracy. My eyes are not blinded to what's really happening in the world. You can see the truth in the Bible, just start in Revelation and look! I don't need to watch every video about how this person or that person is tied to this or that. If your life does not line up with the WORD of GOD, whoever you are, you are leaving yourself EXPOSED to all the works of the enemy, Satan. 1Pet. 5:8 says, "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:" Satan is real and people are very deceived, however so are the Christians who believe he is real, but live their lives looking just like him. 


You want to open the eyes of the people....live your life like the Bible shows you to. The Bible, the Word of God...it IS God, it is His voice, shows His nature, unlocks truths, opens your eyes, pulling off all blinders. Anything else is Worldly, and Satan is the god of this world! I don't want to look anything like the "world", I want to look like God. He said He made us in His image.Gen. 1:26-27  "26And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."
It's time we become the World Changers and stop allowing the world to change us!


That's my piece for the day folks...you may now return to your regularly scheduled day! Lol!

Loves and Hugs,
