You Are My Son, My Daughter Don't Forget ---From Your Heavenly Father

It has been soooo long since I've updated. I've been writing, but just not able to transfer my thoughts. Tonight, I heard a message from Pastor Carter from Luke 15 about the prodigal son and the absolute party his father had for him after he returned from squandering his inheritance in the world living like a pig. His father just embraced him and covered him, restored him to the household.

All throughout the sermon, I just kept thinking of this song which is another favorite that gets down on the inside.



Thank you Lord that your arms are always outstretched to us!! Praise God.
Be blessed beloved. No matter where you are in your journey of faith, maybe you strayed away for whatever reason, God misses you and wants you back communing with him. There is nothing in this life like having a relationship with Jesus Christ. His love is so deep...a man of sorrows, but also filled with JOY knowing that we would have the opportunity to know and love Him for all eternity.

He's REAL!

--In His Service

Spring Forth!

This song is one that lifts me in my wilderness wanderings, encourages me to keep it simple, keep waiting in faith and the joy of the Lord. Makes me dance too.

Isaiah 35:1-2;10 says that:

v1 The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them. And the desert shall rejoice, and  blossom as the rose.
v2  It shall blossom abundantly and rejoice Even with joy and singing:
v10 And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, And come to Zion with songs And everlasting joy upon their heads: They shall obtain joy and gladness, And sorry and sighing shall flee away. 

Isaiah 43:18-19

v18 Remember ye not the former things, Neither consider the things of old.
v19 Behold, I will do a new thing; Now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, And rivers in the desert.

Beloved, be encouraged by this word, this song, and the Lord. We have the DNA that makes us all that we are in Christ. No matter the stage, the DNA is there. The word of God is that incorruptible seed that goes forth and will not return void. It will accomplish what He has sent it to do.

John 15:16

v16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chose you, and ordained you, that you should go and bring forth much fruit, and that your fruit shall remain: whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you. 

Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you that you are God. No matter what it looks like, you are always orchestrating things in the supernatural realm. Help us to see as you see with the eyes of faith. What is not yet, is in the spirit, for we belong to you. Let your kingdom come and let your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Thank you for Jesus Christ who was three days and three nights in the heart of the earth, seemingly dead, but arose from the dead by the resurrection power of the Holy Spirit, that selfsame spirit which dwells within each one of us who are called by your name.

Vision

Vision

And the Lord answered me, and said
Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it;
because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

Habakkuh 2:2-3

I see myself as a woman of faith.
One who can stare at death in the face.
A daughter of Zion who never stays down,
But looks to her King wearing a priceless crown.

A woman with scars, yes, one who can feel.
But now they remind her, by His stripes she's healed!
Not perfect, but knowing that one day she'll see,
the beauty of His face for all eternity.
A woman who trips and occasionally falls,
But lifts her eyes to Calvary where Christ paid it all.

She gleans through His letter of love as her own,
And looks to Him...to Him seated high on the throne.
She has walked through some valleys, seen shadows of death,
Hand in hand with her Savior, where He leads her to rest.

When darkness abounds and life's sea billows roll,
She remembers the Good Shepherd in sovereign control.
Surely goodness and mercy follow close behind,
Teaching her in the way, line upon line.

Lord, I see myself, as I gaze deep in your eyes,
Oh, such loveliness are you, once rejected, bruised and despised.
What a shame you had to die, to drink such a bitter cup.
But when you laid your life down, you said,
"For your sins, I will sup."

But a marvelous thing happened after all finished that final hour.
On the third day you rose up in Resurrection Power!

Now an heiress to your throne, I stand complete in you,
I have resurrection power inside, perpetually making me new.
I shall not fear, what can man ever do to me?

I am a daughter of El Elyon, the Most High God, you see.
I am commissioned, chosen by God to do His good pleasure.
To live a sojourner in this world as His peculiar treasure.
Bearing witness that Christ is alive to save the sin-sick soul.
To repair the enemy's breach of death,
To love and see lives whole.

Not even death could hold you.
Your love is stronger than the grave.
Who could ever resist such love,
For this Lord, I give you all the praise!

To the Only Wise God

Hebrews 10:35-36
v35  Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward.
v36  (my paraphrase) For I have need of patience so that after I have done the will of God, I might receive the promise.

Every now and then, more now, my soul needs a glimpse of Heaven and eyes need to stay fixed on our champion Jesus Christ, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, despising the shame. He remains on the throne of glory. When everything is being shaken, and things seemingly aren't fitting together, remember we have a wise God, The Only Wise God, our Father.

To the one who sits high upon the throne, to Him be glory honor to Him alone. Thank you Abba.
