Listen for a God whisper ...

We have a Saviour by Hillsong

proclamations ...

Hey there,

1 Timothy 3:16

Without doubt, the secret of our life of worship is great:

He was shown to us in a human body,
    proved right in spirit,
and seen by angels.
    He was proclaimed to the nations,
believed in by the world,
    and taken up in glory.

... such a great proclamation ...  the line 'believed in by the world' really jumped out at me ... so much of today's world don't believe ... don't have a relationship with you ... so i ponder on ... i think i might spend the week meditating on this verse and see where it leads ...

Love ya Jesus

load lifted ...

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

  Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way.2 Thessalonians 3 : 16 

Dear God,

packing up my inspire wall ...

Dear God,

The past few weeks i have come to realize that i was grieving something i never knew existed.

It was only as i began to pack up my house to paint ... i bought the boxes but struggled for weeks to start packing everything away ... just could not find the energy to put my books and pictures and accumulated stuff into the boxes ... as i sat down and pondered why ... I REALIZED ... the expectation that i had unknowingly put on myself when moving to Sydney ... the unspoken unwritten perfectionist overachiever in me had been conspiring to achieve her dreams before her time in Sydney came to an end ... classic looking at the final result and not paying attention to the journey ...

SO i pondered all my over achiever dreams and pondered all that i have accomplished ... gave a voice to my grief ... and watched a sad movie ... and had a chat with you.

Sometimes my plans can overtake Your Plans for my life ... even when i subconsciously deny it ... the truth always come out.

Thanks for knowing me better than i know myself.
 
 Love ya always

God's Goodness ...

"... raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,  that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.  For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,  not of works, lest anyone should boast."

Ephesians 2 : 6 - 9

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

Joshua 1:9

...

Our Savior ...

To him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy—  to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.

Jude 1 : 24 - 25

standing in the gap ...

 
Dear God,

As you know I had a God inspired awakening this morning ... my realization of exactly how judgmental I have been about an issue in my life ... as always clarity arose and I heard what you are really calling me to do ... and that is 'stand in the gap' ... when all seems lost and family are weathered by storms ... STAND IN THE GAP for them ... AND PRAY !

Thanks for being my ever after ... my strength and shield.

Immediately he spoke to them and said, “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”

Mark 6:50  (Jesus speaking)

be fishers of men ...

Dear God,

Love ya always

...

And Jesus, walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.  Then He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.”  They immediately left their nets and followed Him.

Matthew 4:18-22

What is on the horizon?

Hey God,

Today i can feel my heart breathing ... it is like change is about to happen ... the moment before something is about to happen.

Similar to taking a big breath and holding it before you jump into the pool.  Today feels like the sensation when your head hits the water as you dive in ... swimming under water ... no sounds ... just the sensation of cold water around you, as your arms push through ...muffled quiet.

So i am wondering what is coming on the horizon.

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29:11

Love ya always

LOVED

Proverbs 31

Proverbs 31

A wife of noble character who can find?
    She is worth far more than rubies. 

 Her husband has full confidence in her
    and lacks nothing of value.  

 She brings him good, not harm,
    all the days of her life. 

 She selects wool and flax
    and works with eager hands.  

 She is like the merchant ships,
    bringing her food from afar. 

 She gets up while it is still night;
    she provides food for her family
    and portions for her female servants. 

 She considers a field and buys it;
    out of her earnings she plants a vineyard. 

 She sets about her work vigorously;
    her arms are strong for her tasks. 

 She sees that her trading is profitable,
    and her lamp does not go out at night. 

 In her hand she holds the distaff
    and grasps the spindle with her fingers.

She opens her arms to the poor
    and extends her hands to the needy.  

 When it snows, she has no fear for her household;
    for all of them are clothed in scarlet. 

 She makes coverings for her bed;
    she is clothed in fine linen and purple.

Her husband is respected at the city gate,
    where he takes his seat among the elders of the land. 

 She makes linen garments and sells them,
    and supplies the merchants with sashes. 

 She is clothed with strength and dignity;
    she can laugh at the days to come. 

 She speaks with wisdom,
    and faithful instruction is on her tongue.  

 She watches over the affairs of her household
    and does not eat the bread of idleness. 

 Her children arise and call her blessed;
    her husband also, and he praises her: 

 “Many women do noble things,
    but you surpass them all.” 

 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
    but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. 

 Honor her for all that her hands have done,
    and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

Lift up your eyes ...

 

Lift Up Your Eyes

I see heaven before me
Angels passing around me
Here I stand in awe of your beauty
Captured by your holiness

Lift up your eyes
All of heaven's in worship
Angels rejoice and the clouds will be filled
With the wonder of your name
With the wonder of your name

The train of his robe fills the temple with glory
Heavenly hosts fall before him in worship

Crying Holy,Holy,Holy is the Lord God Almighty

Holy Holy Holy is the Lord God Almighty

let's get my Faith on ...

a new name ...

Because I love Jerusalem, I will continue to speak for her;
       for Jerusalem's sake I will not stop speaking
    until her goodness shines like a bright light,
       until her salvation burns bright like a flame.

 Jerusalem, the nations will see your goodness,
       and all kings will see your glory.
    Then you will have a new name,
       which the Lord himself will give you.
 You will be like a beautiful crown in the Lord's hand,
       like a king's crown in your God's hand.

Isaiah 61 :1-3

...

Hey God,

Sometimes I over think too much ... and have these big conversations with myself ... that's when I let in the fear and doubt ... 

So tonight I was pondering over the idea ... less head talk and more God talk ... 

I need to start imagining a HUGE GIANT mural on my wall ... of You looking down at me.

Focusing less on me and MORE ON YOU.

Love ya always

BORN FOR THIS by Mandisa

Sometimes you gotta go, uninvited
Sometimes you gotta speak when you don't have the floor
Sometimes you gotta move, when everybody else says you should stay
No way, no, not today
You gotta ask, if you want an answer
Sometimes you gotta stand apart from the crowd
Long before your heart could run the risk
You were born for this
You were born for this

One step, one move.
Born to trust You.
Made to lay my
Life before You

I am with you always

 

"And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age"

Matthew 28 : 20

 

Dear God, 

... thanks for yet another Easter past ... how blessed am I ... my thankful heart is reminded again that you are now at the right hand of God, interceding for me ... that you know me better than I know myself ... that you chose the cross for me ... that you love me beyond belief.

Love ya always

Dancing Moonlight

Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed,
Because His compassions fail not.
They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness.
 “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,
“Therefore I hope in Him!”

 

Lamentations 3 : 22-24

Dear God, 

I love how the moonlight dances across my wall ... with my blinds open at night, I can see the shadows of a dancing tree ... as Autumn comes and the leaves fall, that merry dance becomes a waltz ... what a delight for my eyes and my Heart ... Thanks God ... Your mercies are new everyday.

Love ya always

You have made known to me the paths of life;

Head Games

Hey God, 

The battle begins and ends in my head ... I have to keep myself on track ... with all the distractions going on right now ... 

Thanks for putting people in my life to remind me ... all I need to think about is what I can eat ... and not what I cant ...

Such a simple thing makes a huge difference when coping with challenges.

You are my everything.

good soil

 The farmer sows the word.  Some people are like seed along the path, where the word is sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.  Others, like seed sown on rocky places, hear the word and at once receive it with joy.  But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away.  Still others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word;  but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful.  Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop—some thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times what was sown.”

Mark 4:14-20

Hey God,

This is the kind of faith I want ... I want a productive faith.

My heart's desire is to pass on a legacy that breathes life.  

Help me be the best I can be for you.

 Love ya always
