What has happened?

 

 Let’s choose to push past our first thoughts about others.  Let’s choose to have compassion and bring people and their needs to Jesus, the Great Physician!!

Take some time and pray this….

  “My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him.  He alone is my rock and my salvation;        he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.   Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him.   He alone is my rock and my salvation;  he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.   My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge.   Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him,  for God is our refuge.   One thing God has spoken, two things have I heard:  that you, O God, are strong,  and that you, O Lord, are loving.  Surely you will reward each person according to what he has done.  O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you;  my soul thirsts for you,  my body longs for you,  in a dry and weary land where there is no water.  I have seen you in the sanctuary  and beheld your power and your glory.  Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.  I will praise you as long as I live, 
and in your name I will lift up my hands.  My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods;  with singing lips my mouth will praise you.  On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night.  Because you are my help,  I sing in the shadow of your wings.  My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.  Hear me, Oh God.”

God Bless!!

Prayer

I’ve been reading about intercessory prayer and I thought I would share some quotes from the book.

“So the first step in intercessory prayer is to quiet ourselves before God and with His guidance to choose our path, fearing not to follow it wherever it may lead. “

“The second step is to contact the power that heals and fill ourselves full of it.  Love is the healer.  The One who loved us and gave Himself for us is the One who heals.”

“In order to fill ourselves with His whole being, let us think of Him, imagining His presence, seeing Him with the heart.  Let us beseech Him to come and dwell within us.  Let us ask Him to enter into our spirits and fill us with His own consciousness of the fatherhood of God; to enter into our minds and think within us His own thoughts; to enter into our hearts and feel through us His own love, directing it to those who need it most; to enter into our bodies and build them up according to the patter of His perfect holiness, making us more and more fit channels for the inflow and outflow of His life.”

“Above all if we really want to love Him and feel His love for us, let us kneel before the cross, dare to contemplate His sufferings thereon and thank Him for His inestimable gift to us.  Let us thank Him for the great gift of his own life.  Let us dwell upon Him and immerse ourselves in Him until the reality of His being fills us and floods us with power.  As we do this, our healings become free and easy and spontaneous, for we know that we are doing nothing at all.  The great friend of man is doing His own works through us.”

This is alot to comprehend…but check out this final quote about how Father God uses us….

“As Thomas Kelly says, “First He takes the world out of our hearts, so that we can give our hearts to Him.  Then he puts the world back into our hearts, so that we can give Him to the world.’”

Have a great rest of the week and God Bless!!!

“In This Communion”

Do you enjoy daily quiet time? 

I enjoy spending time every morning studying God’s word and applying His truths to my life.

 2 years ago, I felt led to write a devotional.  2 years later, I have published a 35 day devotional

The purpose of “In This Communion” is to help establish a daily encounter with Father God.  By carving out intentional time with Father God, a daily conversation with the almighty can be established.  Reading the bible, studying the meaning of scriptures, meditating on God’s word and journaling vivid thoughts and ideas require investing specific energy to learn more about our current journey with Jesus.  This book has been written to meet many needs:

1.     Allow those craving a relationship with Jesus to feast at His table

2.     Open blind eyes and allow them to see Jesus at Savior, Lord and Friend.

3.     Heal the lame and reconcile broken relationships.

4.     Welcome the broken and weary to rest in the Love of Christ.

Books are on sales on Ebay (search by “In This Communion”) for $10.00 + $2.99 S&H

My prayer is that people spend intentional time with Father God.
