Holy Spirit come....

John 14:26 "But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you"

Holy Spirit come to our lives today, we need you because Jesus said we were going to need You.

Come to our lives today as a counselor, a person who gives advice and wisdom in situations where we need it the most.

Come today to our lives in the name of Jesus to be our teacher. Teach us the Truth, Teach us how to learn from our mistakes, teach us to know right from wrong, teach us to walk in the ways of the Lord, teach us to see where we have gone astray, teach us about the ways You have always done things.

Come today to our lives to remind us of all the things Jesus has spoken when He was on this earth. Remind us of the words that Jesus spoke when He taught us how to pray "Our Father who is in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name...."

Remind us today of the words He spoke "I will be with you forever".

Remind us of the works Jesus did, the healing, the casting out of demons, the overcoming of temptation, the preaching of the Kingdom, the sacrifice on the cross, the words that gave us freedom "Father forgive them for they know not what they do, into Your hands Jesus committed His Spirit".

Remind us today that we have been bought with a price, the price that had complete victory over death. It no longer has a hold on us. Today we ask you Holy Spirit to set us FREE!!!

Set us free from ourselves, from our own thinking, from our own doing. We WANT YOU alone, Your truth, Your counsel, Your advice, Your wisdom, Your guidance, Your teaching and YOURS alone!! AMEN

This LOVE is so deep

It is more than I can comprehend and stand with my human mind I am melting because of it. But you know I have been made in His image, so I can understand this LOVE, this incredible feeling of being accepted unconditionally, no limits, no matter how big the mistakes that I have made in my life, He loves me.

The more I seek You, the more I find You. It is time to SEEK.

How many of us are struggling today with feeling unaccepted by the world around us. Friends we thought were friends aren't friends at all. They offer their help, but it seems those were empty words because they are not around when you really need them.

The feeling is real, when people around us let us down, when the world around us doesn't seem to understand, the day I feel I just don't have it together and I feel like I everything I do gets messed up.

Those days are the hardest in this world, the most difficult to really comprehend this Love that He has for me, for you, for us. Can I truly understand and receive it?

I could run away, but He would never leave, He will always stay right by our side.

We can lean on His love for us. Jesus is our only foundation on which we build our lives. All else falls away, but His love has been there before time and will always be there now and for eternity.

The Father loves His children and we can stand His feet, on His foundation so we don't have to do it ourselves.

Reach out today with Your arm to those who can't reach up to where You are. Those whose heart is in pain, trampled upon by others. Those who today feel they don't understand why it can never go right, when will it stop. When will there be rest for my soul?

Matthew 11:29 says "Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls"

 

We can find rest with Jesus! He is inviting us to learn from Him, for He is gentle with us and He is humble in heart and He promises that we WILL find rest for our souls!!

Today if you don't have rest, reach out to Jesus, learn from Him. He has rest for us today, in Him alone.

Rest, rest today, call out to Jesus and find rest. Seek today and He promises He will be found. Listen, lean your ear towards Him, it might be softly, it might be loud, in whichever way it will be HE WANTS TO SHARE HIS HEART WITH YOU!!!

Truth and Transformation

I wanted to quickly recommend a book to you by Vishal Mangalwadi and it is called "Truth and Transformation". How when we loose the Truth of God, we will loose our nations. Excellent and necessary to read!!!

As the sun sets...

As the sun sets over the ocean, so your love sets on my heart.

As the sun sets on the horizon, so your faithfulness sets into my mind.

As the suns begins to disappear from the sight of some, so it appears to the sight of others.

As the sun represents your everlasting presence, never ceasing to exist, so your presence will set into the hearts of those who long to experience it.

As the rays of sunshine fall onto my face, so the rays of grace and mercy light up my life. As the rays of sunshine shine light onto every man, so the presence of your life Jesus is ready to shine onto to those who long to live their lives with You and You alone.

If You were not there, where would I be. If You had not died, how could I live. In You alone I find my strength, in You alone I find the reason to be. As the sun goes down every day behind the clouds, behind the ocean's horizon and rises on the other side of globe, so your presence goes and comes and can be seen and felt by those who want to see.

Though the sun is not always to be seen in its magnificent splendor, it is there. Though we don't always SEE your presence, we can know IT IS THERE!!!

Today, Your presence Jesus is real, the warmth of your faithfulness and grace will embrace those in need of You.

May the warmth of the sun fill my heart this very moment, fill my being, light up my face, light up the most challenging things I will have to face. You faced it for us, so in that I stand.  

May Your presence make the ocean of my life shine, shimmer, sparkle, glow as an ocean on which the sun sets and glows a color that no man can describe.

May Your everlasting presence make my face shine, light up in a way that even I can't describe.

As the sun sets, may your presence set into my heart as I lay my head to rest to be filled to overflowing, for Your glory alone!!

Waves of mercy, waves of grace

The waves of His grace, the waves of His mercy never run out, they are new, every day!

Today, whatever you are doing, whatever situation you are in, He knows. He wants to overflow you with the wave of His love and mercy.

Your debt is paid, there is nothing that can separate our heart from His love. In death in life you can be confident and covered by the power of His great love.

Psalms 119:76 says "May your unfailing LOVE be my comfort according to your promise to your servant".


May the waves of your unfailing Love overwhelm this world today, overwhelm my heart, my mind, my soul and rush through my life for strength.

Zephaniah 3:17 says "The Lord your God is with you, He is mighty to save"

 Those who have jumped into the ocean of Gods grace will be swept away by the waves of His mercy. He fill you, wash over you like a powerful strength, giving you what you need to live in His footsteps.


Let the current take you, let the waves of His Spirit move you towards His heart, towards understanding His heart for you. This word is for you the read to receive from Jesus revelation about what He has done for you.


Nothing I do or try to achieve for others to approve will ever be good enough, it will never get enough praise. But with God I never have to do anything to get approval for WHO I AM.

I am approved, accepted, swept away by His love into His arms so that I can rest. Rest from running away, rest from trying so hard, rest from not understanding, rest from giving meaning to things myself.


REST, REST, REST!!!


Matthew 11:28 says "Come to Me (Jesus), all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest"

A life after His

Psalm 25:4-5 
"Show me your ways, O Lord, teach me your paths; guide me in Your truth and teach me; for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.

Living a life after His life. The life of Jesus. He lived for the Glory of His father. He lived to save those He loves. He lived to give us life. He lived to die. He lived to show us the way to His Father, our Father.

In 1996 I made a choice, to live my life to serve Him, make Him known among the nations, share about His life. Since that time I have walked with Him hand in hand through many different circumstances and situations of life. 

I have seen Him uphold me when I could not life myself up. I have seen Him show me the way, when I didn't think there was a path. I have seen Him give me words, when I all I could think of was empty statements. 

He has filled my voids, filled my life with Truth, filled my thoughts with new ideas, wisdom and understanding. He has taken me from where I was, to a deeper place, the place where He is, the place where you can receive pure truth, this place inside your heart.

And still I long for more, still I am desperate for change. Still I ask what Psalm 25 to beautifully describes. Still I ask for Him to show me His ways. Where I dont' see a way, I have come to believe there is a way. 

On this way I have come to believe; on this way He teaches me about a path that I would have never taken; on this way He guides me into the truth of who He is where I believed a lie before. That is the Savior I am talking about.

In Him is my hope, in nobody else, not in myself, not in my circumstances, not in others and not in who I have come to be. 

The hope I profess is in Jesus, the lover of my soul, the Teacher I learn from, the Way I always want to follow, the Truth that erases the lies.
