when christ returns
2008-04-23 10:57:26
This morning i was sitting here and i saw my response to a myspace profile question, "who i'd like to meet" and i said christ when he returns. I was reading this and my heart even as we speak is breaking and being filled with a longing for his presence, a longing for jesus himself to come and be with me. I had an experience where for several weeks i was intense on watching the news and current events and through this one night i was watching the 700 club and God spoke to me that i needed to get ready, get focused and get into him because the times are changing and His return is at hand. We do not know when jesus will return but we want to be ready. Also because the times are crazy with war and violence and weather patterns, we see that the earth is groanin...
 
putting on the armor of God
2008-03-30 11:16:20
The Armor of God10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16In addition to all this, take up ...
 
a promise
2008-03-17 12:16:34
The Lord is our shepherd, the one who is always there looking after us and pulling us back when get to deep. I love Jesus so much i love the lord soo much because he has has never left me or forsaken me and and has always answered my prayers. He loves me. He loves me so much that He is preparing a place for me with Him and OUR FATHER in heaven. No matter what happens He has a plan and purpose for my life and however i get there i will complete His task for me on this planet. i will get there on that day and He will say to me well done good and faithful servant. I promise no matter what that i will fight for it, no matter how many hardships, i will always fight for christ's love and affection towards me. That is the most important thingPsalm 23A psalm of David.1 The LORD is my shepherd, I s...
 
CHANGE 2
2008-03-17 12:06:49
there are things that are happening in our lives as we speak and they are for God to refine us thorugh his fire so if we wait patiently, endure the hardships and trust Him for His will to be done, than we know that we are walking in His will. When we ask the Lord to direct our paths and for His kingdom to come and His will be done, sometimes the fires are churned and blazes for a while to stir the waters to get us into our rightful places and to burn out old mentalities and get us into a place where we are dependent on him. God will do anything that is neccessary to get us to place where we 100 percent give our lives to him in worship and adoration. So when the fires church trust that He is doing a good thing even though it looks like a bad thing. ...
 
CHANGE
2008-03-17 12:01:16
Today God is going to change some things. The Seasons are changing and God's spirit is moving to aid and will in tearing down the strongholds of hell in our lives. God is coming quickly and if we wait patiently for Him He will complete in us a good work and tear down the walls that have hindered us. Especially the strong holds in our minds, our souls and our spirits- I guess that means everything. God loves his children and does not like his children ransacked by evil. just as God sent a deliver (MOSES) to set his people free from egypt, so it will be now that God is sending Christ to set us free from our slavery to darkness. No longer will we be under the slavery mentality but we are now more than conquerors through christ who set us free. Jesus has come to deliver us from our present sit...
 
forgiveness
2008-03-16 21:55:22
Trusting God is the hardest thing i have ever done before. Trusting that he has our lives in His hands, trusting that if i wait patiently for Him He will come quickly, trusting God to make the things right what we have done wrong. To trust God is the the hardest thing, I have a lot of Faith and know with out a shadow of doubt that Christ is alive and well and is going to return for His bride but how can a man stay righteous and live a life  upright towards heaven and be perfect to make it to heaven. It's simple we don't have to be perfect, We all make mistakes and we all live our lives according to what we think is righteous and holy - But just because God will forgive us does not mean that man has to. Everyone has a choice let us lean on Christ for His kingdom to come and His will to be ...
 
prayer for Obama
2008-02-24 00:04:46
Last night i had a dream that God told me to pray for Barack Obama. I have been thinking about this all day long and although my personal beliefs fall republican (mainly for certain issues), today I felt that Obama very well could become the next president of the United States, that the saints need to really pray for God's will in this election. Most of his issues i agree with and i believe that he could be a man of God - But as for his issues on abortion we need to pray that he has a change in heart and convictions. I really do not know why God is telling me to pray for Obama but as i researched him this is what i felt, but I do pray for him and ask the Lord to cover him and bless him and speak to him on a very high level prophetic - that he will have major encounters with God and that God will open his eyes to His heart for abortion and other issues. ...
 
another profound promise
2008-02-23 23:53:09
We have the right to stand up against the things that come against us because God is driving them out before us and giving us power.Deuteronomy 7 Driving Out the Nations 1 When the LORD your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess and drives out before you many nations—the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites, seven nations larger and stronger than you- 2 and when the LORD your God has delivered them over to you and you have defeated them, then you must destroy them totally. [a] Make no treaty with them, and show them no mercy. 3 Do not intermarry with them. Do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons, 4 for they will turn your sons away from following me to serve other gods, and the LORD'...
 
a profound promise
2008-02-23 23:50:02
Deuteronomy 6 Love the LORD Your God 1 These are the commands, decrees and laws the LORD your God directed me to teach you to observe in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess, 2 so that you, your children and their children after them may fear the LORD your God as long as you live by keeping all his decrees and commands that I give you, and so that you may enjoy long life. 3 Hear, O Israel, and be careful to obey so that it may go well with you and that you may increase greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the LORD, the God of your fathers, promised you. 4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. [a] 5 Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments that I give you today are to b...
 
Various laws
2008-02-19 01:22:26
I found some various laws that God gave His people, it interests me to know what pleases Him. Of coarse these are law and we are no longer under the law- you can get the picture.Leviticus 191 The LORD said to Moses, 2 "Speak to the entire assembly of Israel and say to them: 'Be holy because I, the LORD your God, am holy. 3 " 'Each of you must respect his mother and father, and you must observe my Sabbaths. I am the LORD your God. 4 " 'Do not turn to idols or make gods of cast metal for yourselves. I am the LORD your God. 5 " 'When you sacrifice a fellowship offering [a] to the LORD, sacrifice it in such a way that it will be accepted on your behalf. 6 It shall be eaten on the day you sacrifice it or on the next day; anything left over until the third day ...
 
loving people
2008-02-19 01:16:10
how do we love people that we hate so much. Why do we hate people- is it because of what they have done to us or we are bitter towards them? So many things happen in life and usually the ones that we should love the most end of hurting us the worst. I am asking God to break down my walls to forgive others that have come against me and help me to forgive and embrace them as God would. It is Hard.“Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.”- 1 John 4:11-12Loving someone is not easy and when we come to a place where we begin to despise them and say mean things we need to check ourselves and get back on the right track because the end of that will not be very good. ...
 
Witchcraft
2008-02-19 01:08:08
In my life i have seen a great deal of things, but the forces of evil that prevail against me is another. I do not know why but one day i will find out why witchcraft loves to destroy my life with accusation and manipulation. Yesterday and today have been pretty bad attacks against my family and i haven't helped it at all, i have only fueled the flames. We must learn to recognized and hear God speak to us so that we can have greater victories in life and not take everything so personally. Yesterday day i knew that God was showing me that witchcraft was around me, He was revealing it, uncovering the darkness before my eyes so that i could recognize and not overreact when satan would come to attack my life and my family. But of coarse i failed the tests once again BUT maybee next time i will hear and recognized what God is saying to me so that when i go through prblems i will know how to handle them. ...
 
today
2008-02-10 09:23:28
Today i feel a release of God's heart towards us like a blast of power from a hydro plant. I feel and sense Him and His love towards me but i wonder why His love is always towards us even when we are not in faith in Him, when we do not respond to Him. He has always been faithful to me when i feel downcast and His presence with me has never changed. No matter what I go through i always feel His Spirit come over me when i think on Him and the things that He wants for other people. You see God created me with a compassion that when i engage in this and choose to feel Gods heart towards someone else His presence and spirit fill me so much that it washes everything other oppression off. that is why i love the prophetic spirit- The power of God's prophetic heart towards people is so real and p...
 
feelings
2008-01-20 17:56:49
Continue to seek God even if you do not feel Him. He is pleased when the times that we do not feel Him close we still continue to persevere after His presence, contending for what God promised. He is always here , always present, always watching, always caring, His hand is mighty to save us in times of need. ...
 
Life - perseverence
2008-01-20 17:49:18
We must not give up when trials and temptations hold us down. Or when life brings a sudden road block and there seems to be no end. There is an end and we will persevere with faith in God that he will complete His work in us through our stuff. God is here and is going to bless us if we continue to persevere under trials. Read the word, let it breathe the life in you you need to sustain yourself. We are weak, it is hard to develop a relationship with God. It is hard to cultivate His presence in our day to day lives. But once we have persevered there will come a point when God will have built in us discipline and a heart to worship Him. And if we continue more we will know that there is no other life that we can live except through Him, we will have to depend on Hm to carry us through every trial life brings. So do not give up but continue and He will come I promise. Ask God to show Himself to you. Ask God to reveal His heart for you,to show you how much He loves you. You will be amazed at how much He really cares. James 12Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 12Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.22Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 23Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror 24and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it—he will be blessed in what he does. ...
 
our own selves
2008-01-17 01:27:38
We have choices and consequences that happen either good or bad over everything that we do. No matter where we are at in this, God shows us that as we sincerely call on Him for mercy, he will heal us, and as this scripture states for the sake of David and Himself. David had a special place in His heart for as David made decisions he always sought hard after God for His help, grace and mercy. When He sinned He realized His mistake and took full responsibility for his actions and chose to worship God, thanking Him for His goodness and unfailing love that He would not forget him. If we would do the same towards Christ He would remember us in our times of need and respond with mercy. I believe that God remembers our love we give Him, that he takes into account that His creation is choosing to ...
 
The ultimate question
2008-01-15 20:35:09
The ultimate question is: Why do we fall or fail? The answer is so that we can pick ourselves up again. God designed life to teach us how to walk in His will and live according to His ways. Falling and failing at life will ultimately bring us to a knowledge of the truth. Just because we fail at something does not qualify us for life / ministry, it is in the failing that God redirects our path and thinking. The things that cripple us, if we rely and trust in God, will ultimately save us. ...
 
Everybody's Sound
2008-01-11 22:10:42
Everybody has a sound. God gave us all individual sounds that make up our personality,our looks and our aroma. If we will walk by God's word and live with Him on this earth His sound will resonate from us. His sound is what we want to be heard around the people. God is pleased when we give ourselves to others. ...
 
Bob Marley's Redemption Song

This song really gets me all revved up, it's like when i sing this song i feel a sense of God's presence over me and His closeness speaking to me that No matter how much i war over my mind body and spirit that My hands are made strong by Him and He will bless me. I just have to continue to fight for my freedom.Redemption Song - Bob MarleyOld pirates, yes, they rob i;Sold I to the merchant ships,Minutes after they took iFrom the bottomless pit.But my hand was made strongBy the and of the almighty.We forward in this generationTriumphantly.Wont you help to singThese songs of freedom? -cause all I ever have:Redemption songs;Redemption songs.Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;None but ourselves can free our minds.Have no fear for atomic energy,cause none of them can stop the time.How long shall they kill our prophets,While we stand aside and look? ooh!Some say its just a part of it:Weve got to fulfil de book.Wont you help to singThese songs of freedom? -cause all I ever have:Redemption songs;Redemption songs;Redemption songs.---/guitar break/---Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;None but ourselves can free our mind.Wo! have no fear for atomic energy,cause none of them-a can-a stop-a the time.How long shall they kill our prophets,While we stand aside and look?Yes, some say its just a part of it:Weve got to fulfil de book.Wont you help to singDese songs of freedom? -cause all I ever had:Redemption songs -All I ever had:Redemption songs:These songs of freedom,Songs of freedom. ...
 
stand in awe of God
2008-01-10 15:03:06
The Lord has much to say and I am working on being a good listener.Ecclesiastes 5 Stand in Awe of God 1 Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. Go near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools, who do not know that they do wrong. 2 Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few. 3 As a dream comes when there are many cares, so the speech of a fool when there are many words. 4 When you make a vow to God, do not delay in fulfilling it. He has no pleasure in fools; fulfill your vow. 5 It is better not to vow than to make a vow and not fulfill it. 6 Do not let your mouth lead you into sin. And do not protest to the temple messenger, "My vow was a mistake." Why should God be angry at what you say and destroy the work of your hands? 7 Much dreaming and many words are meaningless. Therefore stand in awe of God. ...
 
angels bringing revelation
2008-01-10 11:17:48
Last night i sat down on my couch to read the scriptures and around my house i started seeing the lights, angels. I felt their presence and know that they were there to bring me revelation and open a door. As I have been reading the bible more on a regular basis i have found that God has been opening my eyes again to His glory realm. Meaning the spiritual gifts He has given me are beginning to arise again. But I've had to step out and fight for just this little bit. But i know that as I continue to grow more into Him and His scriptures I will begin to find myself free from past bondages and oppression that has been holding me down. I praise and thank the Lord that He is opening the doors of Heaven to my family. Not only is God blessing us spiritually, But naturally as well. As we have endured He has been faithful to provide all of our needs according to His riches and glory in Christ Jesus. The revelation I am receiving from the angels is the opening of doors for freedom, that justice for the House of God is upon us and He will be our stronghold and defend our causes, though we have been slain and accused and murdered to death by the oppressor and His lies, God is at the door watching and defending Our cause. We must worship Him in this time and receive His power and strength to stand against those demons that attack our minds and thoughts, the evil that our minds can not get free of, He is there and is washing away that which is not of Him, And mark my words we all will see a change in the times and seasons in our lives, that God is springing into action for His children and those who love Him. ...
 
The Anointing and the trash by John Paul Jackson
2008-01-08 19:00:14
There are points in this blog that convict me.jANUARY 5 2008 The Anointing and the trash Category: Thoughts Travel is a part of my life and my calling. I am usually in four to six nations a year and dozens of cities and towns. I meet a lot of spiritually gifted people. I hear numerous remarkable testimonies of God’s never ending power. I see God’s hand in various and sundry ways. I have hoped, trusted, and depended on some of those “walking gifts of God” only to have them fail to honor their promise. It has cost me a lot not only in terms of finances, but in emotional duress, and often I have been left with buckets full of diminished hope. I know - we are to keep our eyes on God and not man, but that is...

Deuteronomy 24:20-2220 When you beat the olives from your trees, do not go over the branches a second time. Leave what remains for the alien, the fatherless and the widow. 21 When you harvest the grapes in your vineyard, do not go over the vines again. Leave what remains for the alien, the fatherless and the widow. 22 Remember that you were slaves in Egypt. That is why I command you to do this. ...
 
Seeing His Face
2008-01-08 12:29:21
To live in this world is to live to make choices of what is right and what is wrong. It is not that you have to do what is right according to the word and according to your conscious BUT to compromise your convictions will only take you farther away from the truth. Right choices may seem hard and for a moment hurt but in the end The Lord will show you His face.Psalm 11 1 In the LORD I take refuge. How then can you say to me: "Flee like a bird to your mountain. 2 For look, the wicked bend their bows; they set their arrows against the strings to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart. 3 When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do ?" 4 The LORD is in his holy temple; the LORD is on his heavenly throne. He observes the sons of men; his eyes examine them. 5 The LORD examines the righteous, but the wicked and those who love violence his soul hates. 6 On the wicked he will rain fiery coals and burning sulfur; a scorching wind will be their lot. 7 For the LORD is righteous, he loves justice; upright men will see his face. ...
 
Believing when you can't see
2008-01-05 09:31:17
We have to resolve to believe God when our circumstances give us a pretty good reason to not trust and believe. When We see with our eyes that our circumstances present complications, we must stand firm on the word and believe that He is the One who will complete a good work in us, that God will protect us in time of trouble that God does have a plan for those whom believe. Christ will not abandon us in our time of need, when we need the closeness of a closest friend, no matter how many people abandon us, God will not. He will never leave us nor forsake us no matter what problems we have or face. True love is Christ's love for the church, to die for her and not abandon her when they abandoned Him and He needed them the most. When accusation comes just believe that He is the judge. ...
 
posessing the land
2008-01-04 01:03:29
Soak this scripture into your hearts. To love God with all of your heart, mind and soul is not a lax term in my opinion. Because David loved God so much He was willing to abandon himself to Him with dancing and singing even to the point his own family despised him. I think of the movie David with Richard Gear as David and the scene he stripped his close and danced and worshiped God all the way into the city. I think about that when i think of abandonment. Loving God so much we TRULY WORSHIP Him. Worship is not a 3 hour reverence we give God every sunday, it is worshiping Him with our spirits and our truth and reality when we wake every day, displaying our love and thankfulness to Him as our God who created us to live that day, to do mighty works for HIm that day, that He created us for HIS...
 
Kingdom of Heaven
2008-01-04 00:46:10
Quotes from the movie Kingdom of Heaven:"Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong. That is your oath.""I put no stock in religion. By the word religion I have seen the lunacy of fanatics of every denomination be called the will of god. I have seen too much religion in the eyes of too many murderers. Holiness is in right action, and courage on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves, and goodness. What god desires is mind and heart and what you decide to do every day, you will be a good man - or not.""You see, none of us chose our end really. A king may move a man, a father ma...
 
covenant
2007-12-18 16:54:33
God's covenant is this, He will put His law into our Hearts and write them on our minds, and He will no longer remember our sins and lawless acts. Trust in God to fulfill this promise.Hebrews 10 :15-2515The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First he says: 16"This is the covenant I will make with them after that time, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds." 17Then he adds: "Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more." 18And where these have been forgiven, there is no longer any sacrifice for sin. 19Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, 20by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, 21and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. 23Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.24And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. 25Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. ...
 
revolution
2007-12-18 16:45:29
There is a revolution coming that will impact the earth in signs and wonders from the heavens above. As the world grows closer to the end of the age we will see sin and immorality abound more and more and the power of Jesus more and more as well. people will be distinguished by the gods they serve. Whether it is Jesus or sin and death, the world will know you by your fruit. That is why we as Christians need to stand firm and digest the word so that we can bear good fruit, and know how to walk in truth. When we choose to live our lives for God He is pleased. He knows that His sons and daughters are arising for the most glorious day that is approaching. Christ's return.But I think that The Lord is the most pleased when we, living in the worst and hardest times, choose to live for Him instead of following after vain imaginations and sins. He LOVES that we will love Him when there are so many other things to love. That is the Revolution. Christians Loving God so much they are willing to sacrifice sin for walking in righteousness.When we worship God, all else fades away. If you are sinning and know you want God, worship and pray to Him and continually day after day seek and pray to Him to fill you with His holy spirit and read the scripture and you will find that He will change you. You do not need to change to come to Jesus, He will change you. ...

The Lamp of the Body Luke 11:33-36 "No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead he puts it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light. Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are good, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are bad, your body also is full of darkness. See to it, then, that the light within you is not darkness. Therefore, if your whole body is full of light, and no part of it dark, it will be completely lighted, as when the light of a lamp shines on you."Ask the Lord for His light ...
 
The call
2007-12-16 09:15:13
There is a call from God to stand firm on His word and to do what He has put in your heart to do before Him. Everyone is different and the Lord has put in each mans heart a different vision and purpose. That is why we are called to be the Body of Christ, the whole body can not function as a whole without the other parts. That is why the bible says we know in part and prophesy in part. Prophesying is encouragement, comfort and edification of another. The building up of someone and telling them how big God is in them and not tearing them down for there sin. God sees sin but He speaks potential and glory and encouragement to an individual. The call is the knowing that before you were formed in the womb He knew you and before you were born He set you apart. Jeremiah 1 The Call of Jeremiah 4 ...
 
Life
2007-12-15 11:52:45
Life is hard, but we have to look at it from a different perspective to actually win our battles. We as Christians are God's children. There is a kingdom of peace and patience and long suffering and all the fruit that comes by walking according to the word. Fruit is what we et from what we do, we can get bad fruit from bad things we do or we can reap good fruit from the good that we do. We choose. If we turn from doing habitual practices that are harmful to us and stop sinning we will see that practically all it took was to change what we were doing, start doing something good and the bad habit or sin left. A basic form of deliverance in my opinion is practical not spiritual, if you want to stop sinning, STOP. It really is not hard to realize that, hey, the reason i am sinning is because i...
 
todays help
2007-12-15 11:03:33
Today is a day that God is opening His heavens and offering help because i needs it. Although He trust me to lead my life according to His word, things never seem to be easy enough to do just that. He is here, always has been, but i am placing my life in His hands for help.Hebrews 4:15-16 15For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. 16Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. ...
 
Thankfulness
2007-12-12 08:27:24
Hebrews 12:27-29 27The words "once more" indicate the removing of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain. 28Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, 29for our "God is a consuming fire."Being Thankful. Today I am thanking God for providing everything I need for this week. I know that by faith He will provide all of my needs according to His riches and glory in Christ Jesus. I love the Lord sooo much, I worship Him today because He is so good to me and my family. I put my faith and trust in Him that as I walk my life trying to figure out what I need to do He is walking there right beside me helping me. I may not always seek God for everything anymore but i do know that He loves me and that i love Him and that (1cor 8:3) says Those who love God are known by Him. So He He knows me personally that my heart is set to Him and His righteousness and to walk in His ways and to obey His word. Even when I fall short He never falls short. When I mess up He is there to help me. When I need help He provides. I am very thankful today. ...

Fear the LORD- If we CHOOSE to set our hearts towards God and live for Him, meaning we completely with our whole hearts set our affections on Him as a lover and try our hardest to walk in His ways laid out by the scriptures, He will set His affections on us as a lover. He will help us and lead us. The Almighty God who created the Heavens and this earth will make His home with us. This is what He desires. --------------------------------------------------Deuteronomy 1012 And now, O Israel, what does the LORD your God ask of you but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, 13 and to observe the LORD's commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good? 14 To the LORD your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, the earth and everything in it. 15 Yet the LORD set his affection on your forefathers and loved them, and he chose you, their descendants, above all the nations, as it is today. 16 Circumcise your hearts, therefore, and do not be stiff-necked any longer. 17 For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes. 18 He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the alien, giving him food and clothing. 19 And you are to love those who are aliens, for you yourselves were aliens in Egypt. 20 Fear the LORD your God and serve him. Hold fast to him and take your oaths in his name. 21 He is your praise; he is your God, who performed for you those great and awesome wonders you saw with your own eyes. 22 Your forefathers who went down into Egypt were seventy in all, and now the LORD your God has made you as numerous as the stars in the sky. ...

Today the Lord is replacing fear with faith. He is removing the places that are consumed by fear and replacing them by faith and trust in Him to complete the good work in usDeuteronomy 33:26-29"There is no one like the God of Jeshurun, who rides on the heavens to help you and on the clouds in his majesty. 27 The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. He will drive out your enemy before you, saying, 'Destroy him!' 28 So Israel will live in safety alone; Jacob's spring is secure in a land of grain and new wine, where the heavens drop dew. 29 Blessed are you, O Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the LORD ? He is your shield and helper and your glorious sword. Your enemies will cower before you, and you will trample down their high places."--------------------------------------------------------------------- ...

Leviticus 26:3-53 " 'If you follow my decrees and are careful to obey my commands, 4 I will send you rain in its season, and the ground will yield its crops and the trees of the field their fruit. 5 Your threshing will continue until grape harvest and the grape harvest will continue until planting, and you will eat all the food you want and live in safety in your land.I feel something new in the air, God's spirit is coming to me in new ways and i feel something is lifting off my shoulders. ...
 
prophets

1 Samuel 10:9-119 As Saul turned to leave Samuel, God changed Saul's heart, and all these signs were fulfilled that day. 10 When they arrived at Gibeah, a procession of prophets met him; the Spirit of God came upon him in power, and he joined in their prophesying. 11 When all those who had formerly known him saw him prophesying with the prophets, they asked each other, "What is this that has happened to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?"There is something about getting around a group of people and receiving what they have. If we hang out with God He will hang out with us and we will become just like Him.This morning I woke up and laid in bed and felt God's spirit with me. I felt Him draw close and i asked Him to speak to me today and to bless me. He did. ...
