Trusting God

Have you gotten to the place where you say......no matter what, I trust you God. Where you stop looking at how things appear and decide to just trust God. The place where your emotions become motionless. Where your feelings no longer dictate your actions. The place of total trust and total reliance on God. You know the times where you've done all you can do and now it's up to God. The place of total release from you preconceived notions and ideas. The place where you no longer make agendas and try to determine your own destiny. Have you arrived there yet....because that is the place that God is waiting and ready to meet you. The place of total surrender. The place where He can now lead and guide. Where He is the only one navigating the direction for your life. That's the place we all must go.

God's waiting....where are you?

Share this word with someone else today...its like mapquest...sometimes we all need help getting on the right path to our destiny....

Does God Want You To Change? What Are You Standing On?

Change is not about what you see.....it's about what you do.    Have you ever thought about what God wants you to change in your life?   Does He want you to change your surroundings?   Does He want you change your attitude?   Does He want you to change your friends?   Or does He just want you to change your outlook?

Your outlook is somewhat like your attitude....it is your point of view.   How you consider a thing.   Your standpoint.   We all take a stand....the question is what are we standing for?  More than that....what are you standing on?

Are you standing on God and His promises?   Or are you standing on shaky ground.   When your ground is shaky, there is no stability.   God wants us stable in our thoughts, in our beliefs, and in our walk with Him.   He wants us to have full assurance and reliance on Him and His word.    You can't take a stand if you don't understand God and His promises.

You must know the source of your faith in order to put full reliance in what you say you believe.   Complete trust and confidence says you are standing on "sure" ground.   Sure means unfailing....never disappointing.  And that's what God is....he will never fail you or disappoint you.  

It's time to look around....to look at the ground we are standing on.    Is it "sure" or is it like sinking sand?  Maybe you see cracks.   Little places where there is doubt or unbelief.   It time to "shore up" in the Word.   In other words, place your trust and belief on God and what He said.   If there is anything that is not lining up with the Word....then it should have no place in your life.   Fill the cracks of doubt and unbelief with trust and assurance of who God is.   Fill them with faith, patience, love, and joy.....knowing that God's word is true and if you stand on it ....IT SHALL COME TO PASS! 

We tend to resist change but sometimes God requires change in order for us to get to the next level without slipping, falling, or failing.

"More Than What I Wanted"

Ministered By CeCe Winans

Pure Worship .... You Are In The Presence Of Royalty....

Pure Worship....
God Desires Pure Worship....

God wants our worship to be "pure".   The definition for pure is "not mixed or adulterated with any substance or material".   It also means without extraneous or unnecessary elements.   

It's funny how we seek purification in so many areas.   We want purified water, we want organic foods, we want a clean house, clean clothes, etc. but we don't see the necessity of purifying ourselves before God.   We overlook the process that the priests had to go through in order to go into the "Holy of Holies".   Into that holy place with God.  We overlook the "laver". 

It's true, God said come unto Him just as we are.    But once you enter into the presence of God....the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, the Great "I AM", some things should change.   Desires should change.  Hearts should change.   Once you come and dwell with royalty.....you should desire to be as "royalty".   You come into a place of eating what royalty eats and drinking what royalty drinks.   Your consumption should be that of royalty and not that of the world.

The problem is, we want to take the same things we consumed in the world into the presence of the God   Our attitudes, our actions, our limits.....how we think, what we listen to, and so on.   But God wants us to let go of the past....to let go of our way of doing things and live holy.   He desires that we live kingdom minded and not world initiated.  

When the world initiates something, the end result is usually sin in some form.   Whereas, if we live kingdom minded, our sole purpose and our sole desire will be to please God.   We won't just do anything, we won't just say anything, we won't just listen to anything.....and we won't just live like anything.    We will accept our status of royalty and live as children of the King.   At that point, our hearts will be clean and our worship will be pure.

We All Should Want "A Heart That Forgives"

I saw this video today on http://www.godsfaithbook.com/ and it really touched me.   So many times we get hurt by people.   It seems as though we have become desensitized in so many areas.   That's not God's desire for us.   He wants us to always walk in love......the problem is, getting past the hurt.    This song is my prayer for all of us.....

I pray that it blesses you....and I pray that you will share it with others.  

"A Heart That Forgives"

Ministered By Kevin Levar

LYRICS

I want a heart that forgives
A heart full of love
One with compassion just like yours above
One that over comes evil with goodness and love
Like it never happened, never holding a grudge

I want a heart that forgives that lives and lets lives
One that keeps loves over and over again
One that men can’t offend
Cuz your word is deep within
One that loves without price like you lord Jesus Christ
I want a heart that loves everybody
Even my Enemies
I want to love like, be like you, just like you did
I want a heart that forgives, want a heart that forgives

Want a heart that forgives
When the ones that are closes and that I’ve known the longest
They hurt me the most; I still wanna love them just like you loved me
Even though I’m hurting, God should know they hurt me deep
Ohhh, want a heart that forgives
When the pain is so deep and it’s so hard for me to speak about it
To any one just like your son
I give up my rights to hold it against them with hatred inside
I want a heart that loves everybody,
Even my Enemies
I wanna love like you, be like you, just like you did
Wanna walk like you, talk like you, just like you did, Wanna be like you Jesus
Just like you Jesus Christ, I want a heart
Cuz the heart that forgives that is the heart that will live
Totally free from the pain of the past and the heart that lets go
That is the heart that will know so much freedom,

Do you wanna be free, my answer is Yes
Lord I wanna be free, my answer is Yes
God I’m tired of being bound, father my answer is Yes
I don’t want this in my life, father my answer is Yes
God I’m ready to let it go, father my answer is Yes
God I’m tired of saying No, father my answer is Yes
I know you got so much for me, that’s been hidden by my pride
You got so much for me, so much you wanna do with my life
Father help me let it go, Lord you know it’s been so long
Father help me let it go, As I play to you this song
I don’t wanna be hindered by the spirit of offense
I don’t wanna be hindered by people that do me wrong
I wanna love them like you love me, wanna love them like you love me
Wanna love them like you love me, I want a heart that forgives
No matter what happens Lord, give me grace, give me grace
Lord no matter what comes, no matter what people do
I still wanna love them, I wanna love them, Just like you

Let Someone Else Know....God Is Love....

There is only one explanation for why God does what He does.....and that's LOVE.   Love says I see beyond your faults.   It says I look past your inadequacies.   Love says I won't live on how you hurt me in the past.   It says I forgive you and I won't hold it against you.   Love says I don't expect you to always do for me, instead I will seek opportunities to do something for you.   Love says I understand. 

True love and the meaning of love can only be learned from God.   For "God is Love".   Learn from Him.  Learn the sacrifice of love.   Sacrifice means that you surrender.   You don't hold back when you truly love someone or something.   You give it all you got.  There are no opportunites for selfishness in love.   Love requires total surrender.

Let those around you see the love of God today through you.    People open up when they feel loved.  The only way a person can truly learn how to love is if they have truly felt loved.    Let God flow through you to someone today.

So What Now? What's Next?

So what are we going to do now?   Now that we have been taught.   Now that we are full.   Full of His word, Full of His Power, Full of His Passion.   What now???   Are we going to sit around and get fat.   Fat on His Word.   Or are we going to exercise in His presence?   Exercise by pouring out His word to others.   By releasing everything that we have taken in.  

Now is the time of release.   It's time to pour out and to give what you have been holding for yourself.   It's time to share what you have been given with someone who is lacking what you have.   The knowledge, the insight, the revelation.  

It's time to get up and give out....
Be a blessing to someone else today....share the "bread that you have from the Master's table".

This Is My Passion

You've Been Delivered....So Take A Stand!

Isn't it nice to know that you have been delivered.   Delivered from the hand of the enemy.  Not only delivered but set free.   Once you were delivered, you were set free.   Set free from everything that had control of your life.   Jesus not only brought you deliverance, He also brought you freedom.

So if you are delivered and set free....why walk in bondage?   Why walk in bondage to people, places or things?   If you were set free, why walk like you are still bound?   Freedom means you are not longer under the restraints of the enemy.   You are free to serve God with all that you are.   Yet when we walk as though we are ashamed of Him, it says we are still bound.   Bound by what others think or feel.   When we stand silent, we walk in fear of what others will say.

It's time we take a stand.   Take a stand for God.  It really doesn't matter what others think, feel, or have to say about your salvation.   Salvation is a gift to you from God.   Salvation is paid for.   It is defined as the act of saving from harm, risk, loss, or destruction.   When you understand exactly what it is....you will understand why it really doesn't matter what someone else has to say about. it.....Salvation in itself is your protection.

So remember today that you were brought with a price....that price was paid for in blood.   So with it comes a blood covenant of protection.    All God is asking in return is that we stand for Him.   So take a stand today and let someone know who God is in your life.   

"Your testimony is a testament of who God is...."
