Call To Him and He Will Answer

"Call to me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know" (Jeremiah 33:3). God urges us to call upon Him because He is with us wherever we go and can show us things and do things beyond our wildest imagination. Most of time they are things that are necessary for our growth and development of character; things that boggle our minds or cause us to be stressed. 
He is the God of all creation who holds all wisdom and our answer when we ask, and Who desires to walk and talk with us, instead of just being that God who hears our wants! He created us for a relationship that allows Him to walk and talk with us any time of day. 
Have you ever stop to consider how wonderful it would be to walk and talk with Him and be called a "friend of God throughout life? Consider your relationship with God; do you just go to Him in prayer, say Amen and get up and leave? Or do you go to Him eager to talk to Him and sit down and listen to Him in response like friends? Do you go in prayer as a servant to your King, or have you built a relationship with Him that allows you to go to Him as your Best Friend and Father, as Abba Father?
Even though Jesus is our Lord and Savior, Our King, He told His followers in John 15:15 NIV, "I no longer call you slaves, because a master doesn't confide in his slaves; now you are my friends since I have told you everything the Father told me." Jesus wants His followers to know Him as their Friend. He has confided in us His deepest secrets and Holy Spirit continues to make all things known to us as we call upon Him. He is the dearest Friend we will ever have or ever need, Who is always accessible 24/7, never out of range, never too busy to hear us when we call. He is Always with us as we call out to Him; and that's His promise to us with His Lifetime Guarantee written in blood! 
So whatever you may be encountering in your life today, give it to God and allow Him to work things out in His timing, in His will, and in His perfect way. Call upon Him while He is near because He is just waiting to hear you call. Doesn't matter what your need is, God cares. No matter how big or how small the need may be; if it matters to you, it matters to Him. As you surrender it all to Him; you can step back from the situation knowing that it's in His hands and you can trust Him to meet your need in His time and in His perfect way. Have a wonderfully blessed day knowing God loves you and so do I~~

Off To A Good Start

"There's within my heart a melody; Jesus whispers sweet and low: Fear not, I am with thee, Peace be still, in all of life's ebb and flow. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, sweetest name I know, fills my every longing, keeps me singing as I go."
The words to this old song continue to warm hearts of all who allow their inner spirit to soar to new heights; right up there with Amazing Grace and the Old Rugged Cross connecting us with utmost praise to the Lord Most High in word and song.
Doesn't matter which song is within your spirit, acknowledging Him early in the morning awakens your senses and brings forth a refreshing and overwhelming love for God that assures you a wonderfully blessed day filled with positive energy! So let's be off to a good start and enjoy a great day in the Lord, dear friends. God loves you and so do I~~~

Prepare The Way For Your Day

 As you begin this day, I hope you take time to invite Holy Spirit to walk with you and guide you along the way? Make sure your ears are open to hear Him today; because He is always with us, dwelling within us, talking with us, caring and protecting us even though we may not acknowledge His voice or His presence.
We often become so busy scampering along with our daily chores and rushing off to fulfill our work duties that we forget to take that much needed time each morning to just be still and know that He is God; to feel His love, to hear His voice and to acknowledge that without Him life would be hopeless - but with Him leading the way we acquire the power through Him to conquer the most difficult of times.
I treasure family and friends in my life but even those dearest to my heart cannot compare with the love of my precious Lord. Before I stumble, He's already there to pick me up; before I fail at mankind's test, He is right there encouraging me; before I shed those tears when my heart feels broken, He is right there to wipe them away and comfort me; and when I begin to feel alone and think no one can possibly understand what I'm going through, He is right there putting His loving arms around me and assuring me He never leaves me. Forever and ever He is there for me, without fail, through it all.
There is nothing I have ever done, or will ever do, to cause Him to love me any less, or to love me any more than He does right now. Ya see, He loves me and He also loves you with an everlasting love that is totally unconditional. A love far beyond anything we can ever comprehend, but is forever binding, none the less.
So I pray that as you continue your day, you will take time to allow His love to engulf you and bring you peace and guidance throughout this day and every day hereafter. He is positively the dearest friend you will ever have. Enjoy a wonderfully blessed day, dear friends, because God loves you and so do I~~~

Dare To Look Beyond

A new day has arisen and the wonders of God's divine love unfolds! What will we allow Him to do within our life today? He grants each of us fresh mercies each morning and showers us with blessings too wonderful for words; if only we can look beyond our present surroundings and refocus our attention off our self and on to Him, His will, and His way in our life.

So, what are you focusing on today? How clear is your vision? What do you see unfolding in your life today? Can you see the awesomeness of God; or do you have tunnel vision? Are you only seeing what's familiar in your surroundings, preventing you from seeing His greatness; His Awesomeness?

Our God is a God of More than Enough! He is Greater than Great! He has a plan for each of us far greater than anything we can ever imagine, but we must readjust our focus to look beyond what we see with our natural eyes and dare to look through eyes of faith. It's through those eyes of faith that we see God's desire to bless and prosper us as His Word declares in Jeremiah 29:11; and it's by faith we have proved Him to be Forever Faithful to fulfill His Word as He has promised and begin basking in those blessings today.

I pray you will allow your vision to focus more clearly and look unto the author and finisher of your faith. Look beyond what you see naturally and begin to see His plans for your life unfolding as your faith begins to arise within you. God loves you unconditionally and even tho' you may have fallen along the wayside, He is quick to pick you up in His loving arms and set you back on His predestined pathway, while guiding you along each step of the way.

So don't be defeated today with living below your worth. You are child of the Most High God and there is Nothing He won't do to help you be ALL you can be for His kingdom sake. So rise up and shake off those chains of doubt and despair; pull up those boot strings and tighten those laces; God has a work for you to do and He has nothing but good things planned for your life.

Dare to believe His Word and keep your eyes focused on Him. Enjoy the blessings of His Amazing Grace and allow Holy Spirit to guide you into all truths as He leads you along your way. This is the day the Lord has made; Let's rejoice and be glad in it! Enjoy a wonderfully blessed day, dear friends, God loves you and so do I~~~

Hope Brings Forth Light

In the still of darkness, God is there! When all else has failed, God is there! When no one is present, God is there! Such peace comes over me as I feel His presence, regardless of night or day, regardless if during good or bad circumstances, God is right there beside me, working within me, bringing such peace that comforts and brings Hope through it all.

Hope springs forth eternal knowing GOD is ALL I need to turn around those things that seem impossible to human eyes! Our Lord God is the God who is Alive and Well; Who shows up when all mortal hope is gone, showing forth such miraculous deeds that all we can say is," It was nothing less than a miracle at the mighty hand of our God."

From the beginning of creation, God's Word has brought forth Light that has changed the world forever more. His Word brings forth assurance that whatsoever we have need of, He is more than able to bring to pass as we look to Him. Trusting in Him enables us to look beyond what our human eyes can see, what our human minds can comprehend, and begin to see His glory shining forth in such miraculous ways that are mind boggling. Every thing in God's perfect time and in His perfect way, Jesus shines forth in the darkness bringing Light into whatever need there may be.

He continually reminds us throughout His Word that He is always with us; that He will never leave or forsake us, but will faithfully remain within us forever and ever more. All He has declared in His Word, He will do just as He told Jeremiah 1:12, He watches over His Word to perform It quickly. Whatsoever is written in His Word is His Promise that can never be broken; and if He did it for that one person, He will do it for you because He is no respecter of persons(Romans 2:11, Acts 10:34)!

Our God is an Awesome God who loves us beyond measure and unconditionally! He is not a god that can't be touched by our infirmities(Hebrews 4:15); but Who stands ready and willing to meet our every need as we put our trust in Him. All we have to do is call upon Him to feel His Spirit stirring within us as we whisper His name, Jesus! Feel Him stirring even as you acknowledge His name; Feel Him urging you to come a little closer and allow Him to comfort you and bring you peace! Feel His Peace! Feel His Hope! Jesus is the Truth, the Way, and The Light, and He is the One and Only Way to the Father(John 14:6) and Life Eternal!

So today, I pray you rest in the Light of His Glory and enjoy a wonderfully blessed day; because God loves you and so do I~~~

Becoming Empowered From Within

While reading in Paul's writings to 'God’s holy people in Christ Jesus at Philippi', I was drawn to how Paul continually encouraged them to dress their mind with good things and to meditate on the best instead of the worst; to think on things that are honest and pure, instead of false and negative reports; things that were worthwhile to be praised and not cursed. He encouraged them to put into practice the things they had learned, whether by sight or speech, as the Spirit had enlightened them! 

He summed it up by saying, "Finally brethren; whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue and if there be any praise, think on these things. Those things which ye have both learned and received and heard and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.Philippians 4:8-9. The same holds true today as we prepare for our day.
Just as a warm shower refreshes and revives us, coming into God's presence allows His Spirit to wash over us and flow through us, refreshing and reviving our mind. It not only gives us a good start to our day; it instills the assurance of being loved by our Heavenly Father and there's nothing better than knowing we are loved. Filling our minds with positive vibes instead of negative aspects, brings a peace beyond measure while instilling the positive notion that we can do all things through Christ Jesus which empowers us for whatever may lie ahead of us in this day.
God continually blesses and empowers us day by day with different gifts and talents, not to store up for our own use, but to share with others; to reach out and touch others lives as we acknowledge Him in our everyday living in thought and deed, Proverbs 4:5-6. He is our proud Papa, our Daddy God, our Abba Father, who desires a personal relationship with us continually day in and day out; and as we think on positive attributes, His love radiates within us and shines forth to those we meet.
As you go through this day, feel the freedom His love brings. Think on the many blessings He has already given you and look for good things to happen instead of the bad. Remember that "as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he" (Proverbs 23:7). Think about who you are in Christ Jesus and whose you are; and have a great day, dear friend.
God loves you and so do I~~~

Salvation's Plan Unfolding

Having made a triumphal entry into Jerusalem upon a donkey's back as palm leaves were laid and waved before Him, and having cleared the temple of those disrespecting His Father's house, Jesus continued to teach in the temple to those present at great lengths of His Father's Love; and just as today, many refused to believe and heed His warnings, and they feared and hated Him so much they began to devise plans to get rid of this Jesus that was turning hearts toward God. This gave Satan open doors to stir within minds and even within Jesus' own disciple, Judas, who stole away to bargain with those in authority how he could deliver Jesus to them; and so they plotted to betray his own Lord for thirty pieces of silver. 
As the disciples gathered with Jesus for dinner and Jesus had communion with them, He knowing what was to come, began trying to prepare them of what was about to happen; of His betrayal and what He must suffer for our good; but they could not conceive the notion of this and proclaimed they would defend Him at all cost; they felt within their hearts they would be with Him through it all. Little did they know that as the shepherd (Jesus) was taken, the sheep of His flock (His followers) would scatter in fear. At the close of communion, knowing time was at time, as Judas dipped into the bowl with Jesus, Jesus told him to go do what he had to do quickly; so Judas departed to betray our Lord. 
Then Jesus and His followers departed into the countryside as was His custom to rest and He felt the need to talk with His Father so He went on alone a little farther and began to pray at great lengths for all His followers.(please take time to read His prayer in John 17). Jesus had come unto His own and His own received Him not(John 1:11).  He had walked along side man, teaching and healing and delivering from demons and all manner of bondages; living in Love as an example before them, but His very own knew Him not as their Creator and Lord. Knowing His own disciple, Judas, was on his way to betray Him, He still chose to submit to God's divine plan for you and me as He prayed, 'Not my will but thine be done'. Knowing He would soon face public humiliation, ridicule and persecutions, suffer cruel torture beyond human measure, having his flesh ripped from His back by the stripes He was to bear for our healing; and surrender His life's blood as ransom for our sins with crucifixion upon that old rugged cross; He still chose to endure it all, for you and for me!
O' What a Savior! O' Hallelujah! but even now as they were on their way to take Him; the air is filled with wonder as the best is yet to come! Salvation's Plan is about to unfold.....Oh How He loves you and me!
