Psalm 77

1 For Jeduthun, the choir director: A psalm of Asaph. I cry out to God without holding back. Oh, that God would listen to me! 2 When I was in deep trouble, I searched for the Lord. All night long I pray, with hands lifted toward heaven, pleading. There can be no joy for me until he acts.

3 I think of God, and I moan, overwhelmed with longing for his help. 4 You don’t let me sleep. I am too distressed even to pray! 5 I think of the good old days, long since ended, 6 when my nights were filled with joyful songs. I search my soul and think about the difference now. 7 Has the Lord rejected me forever? Will he never again show me favor?

8 Is his unfailing love gone forever? Have his promises permanently failed? 9 Has God forgotten to be kind? Has he slammed the door on his compassion? 10 And I said, “This is my fate, that the blessings of the Most High have changed to hatred.”

11 I recall all you have done, O LORD; I remember your wonderful deeds of long ago. 12 They are constantly in my thoughts. I cannot stop thinking about them. 13 O God, your ways are holy. Is there any god as mighty as you?

14 You are the God of miracles and wonders! You demonstrate your awesome power among the nations. 15 You have redeemed your people by your strength, the descendants of Jacob and of Joseph by your might. 16 When the Red Sea saw you, O God, its waters looked and trembled! The sea quaked to its very depths.

17 The clouds poured down their rain; the thunder rolled and crackled in the sky. Your arrows of lightning flashed. 18 Your thunder roared from the whirlwind; the lightning lit up the world! The earth trembled and shook. 19 Your road led through the sea, your pathway through the mighty waters – a pathway no one knew was there! 20 You led your people along that road like a flock of sheep, with Moses and Aaron as their shepherds.

Be Blessed!

A WORD FROM THE LORD….PROPHECY….I RECEIVED THIS GLORY BE TO GOD!

I was emailing a friend this morning when I got these words from the Lord. I wanted to share with all of you that spending time with the Lord is just what He wants! It brings Him great joy! I hope this blesses you as much as it did me.

“I DID NOT PULL YOU OUT OF THE FIRE SO YOUR TESTIMONY COULD BE HIDDEN” “I PULLED YOU OUT OF THE FIRE SO THAT OTHERS COULD SEE MY GLORY!” “DO NOT TAKE YOUR EYES OFF ME.” “SATAN WILL TRY TO HINDER YOU DO NOT BE DECEIVED” “WHEN MY HAND MOVES KNOW ONE WILL BE ABLE TO STOP IT BUT THEY WILL TRY TO HINDER IT.” “YET THEIR BEST EFFORTS WILL FAIL AGAINST ME.” “WHEN YOU HEAR MY VOICE, LISTEN TO ME, DO NOT RELY ON YOUR FEELINGS OR YOU WILL FALL PREY TO THE EVIL ONE.”

I HAVE PLANS FOR YOU. BUT YOU MUST OBEY ME. I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU, OR FORSAKE YOU. YOU ARE MY BELOVED. MY DAUGHTER. SO MANY OF MY CHILDREN ARE IN TORMENT, THIS SHOULD NOT BE SO. FOR THEY HAVE TAKEN THEIR EYES OFF ME AND ALLOW THE ENEMY TO BURDEN THEIR SOULS. I AM GRIEVED DEEPLY. I AM FAITHFUL TO A THOUSAND GENERATIONS. MY WORD WILL NOT RETURN TO ME VOID. WHEN I SEND IT OUT I SEND IT FOR PURPOSE NOT FOR SHOW.

DO YOU NOT KNOW WHO I AM? DO YOU NOT SEE THE MIRACLES I HAVE DONE? I WILL PROTECT MY PEOPLE. YOU MUST HAVE YOUR EYES FIXED ON ME. ON WHO I AM! I LOVE YOU WITH A PERFECT LOVE. OH HOW I LONG FOR MY CHILDREN TO REACH FOR MY HEART FOR IF THEY ONLY KNEW MY LOVE FOR THEM THEY WOULD RUN TO ME INSTEAD OF AWAY FROM ME. I AM SADDENED FOR THE LACK OF KNOWLEDGE EVEN MY OWN PEOPLE HAVE OF ME. I WANT PEOPLE TO SEARCH FOR ME WITH THEIR WHOLE HEART.

IT BRINGS ME GREAT JOY TO SEE JUST ONE PERSON GIVE THEIR HEART TO ME. HEAVEN REJOICES WITH SINGING. BELLS RINGING. SAINTS DANCING. DO YOU SEE NOW MY GREAT LOVE? PLEASE COME VISIT ME…..SPEND TIME WITH ME…..IT BRINGS ME GREAT JOY!

This prophecy was given to Tina Bradley

Be Blessed!

1 Corinthians Chapter 3 New Living Translation

1 Dear brothers and sisters, when I was with you I couldn’t talk to you as I would to mature Christians. I had to talk as though you belonged to this world or as though you were infants in the Christian life. 2 I had to feed you with milk and not with solid food, because you couldn’t handle anything stronger. And you still aren’t ready, 3 for you are still controlled by your own sinful desires. You are jealous of one another and quarrel with each other. Doesn’t that prove you are controlled by your own desires? You are acting like people who don’t belong to the Lord. 4 When one of you says, “I am a follower of Paul,” and another says, “I prefer Apollos,” aren’t you acting like those who are not Christians?

5 Who is Apollos, and who is Paul, that we should be the cause of such quarrels? Why, we’re only servants. Through us God caused you to believe. Each of us did the work the Lord gave us. 6 My job was to plant the seed in your hearts, and Apollos watered it, but it was God, not we, who made it grow. 7 The ones who do the planting or watering aren’t important, but God is important because he is the one who makes the seed grow. 8 The one who plants and the one who waters work as a team with the same purpose. Yet they will be rewarded individually, according to their own hard work.9 We work together as partners who belong to God. You are God’s field, God’s building – not ours. 10 Because of God’s special favor to me, I have laid the foundation like an expert builder. Now others are building on it. But whoever is building on this foundation must be very careful.

11 For no one can lay any other foundation than the one we already have – Jesus Christ. 12 Now anyone who builds on that foundation may use gold, silver, jewels, wood, hay, or straw. 13 But there is going to come a time of testing at the judgment day to see what kind of work each builder has done. Everyone’s work will be put through the fire to see whether or not it keeps its value. 14 If the work survives the fire, that builder will receive a reward. 15 But if the work is burned up, the builder will suffer great loss. The builders themselves will be saved, but like someone escaping through a wall of flames.

16 Don’t you realize that all of you together are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God lives in you? 17 God will bring ruin upon anyone who ruins this temple. For God’s temple is holy, and you Christians are that temple.

18 Stop fooling yourselves. If you think you are wise by this world’s standards, you will have to become a fool so you can become wise by God’s standards. 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God. As the Scriptures say, “God catches those who think they are wise in their own cleverness.” 20 And again, “The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are worthless.”

21 So don’t take pride in following a particular leader. Everything belongs to you: 22 Paul and Apollos and Peter ; the whole world and life and death; the present and the future. Everything belongs to you, 23 and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.

Be Blessed!

Ephesians 2: 1-22

1 Once you were dead, doomed forever because of your many sins. 2 You used to live just like the rest of the world, full of sin, obeying Satan, the mighty prince of the power of the air. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God. 3 All of us used to live that way, following the passions and desires of our evil nature. We were born with an evil nature, and we were under God’s anger just like everyone else.

4 But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so very much, 5 that even while we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s special favor that you have been saved!) 6 For he raised us from the dead along with Christ, and we are seated with him in the heavenly realms – all because we are one with Christ Jesus. 7 And so God can always point to us as examples of the incredible wealth of his favor and kindness toward us, as shown in all he has done for us through Christ Jesus. 8 God saved you by his special favor when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. 9 Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. 10 For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so that we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

11 Don’t forget that you Gentiles used to be outsiders by birth. You were called “the uncircumcised ones” by the Jews, who were proud of their circumcision, even though it affected only their bodies and not their hearts. 12 In those days you were living apart from Christ. You were excluded from God’s people, Israel, and you did not know the promises God had made to them. You lived in this world without God and without hope. 13 But now you belong to Christ Jesus. Though you once were far away from God, now you have been brought near to him because of the blood of Christ.

14 For Christ himself has made peace between us Jews and you Gentiles by making us all one people. He has broken down the wall of hostility that used to separate us. 15 By his death he ended the whole system of Jewish law that excluded the Gentiles. His purpose was to make peace between Jews and Gentiles by creating in himself one new person from the two groups. 16 Together as one body, Christ reconciled both groups to God by means of his death, and our hostility toward each other was put to death. 17 He has brought this Good News of peace to you Gentiles who were far away from him, and to us Jews who were near. 18 Now all of us, both Jews and Gentiles, may come to the Father through the same Holy Spirit because of what Christ has done for us. 19 So now you Gentiles are no longer strangers and foreigners. You are citizens along with all of God’s holy people. You are members of God’s family. 20 We are his house, built on the foundation of the apostles and the prophets. And the cornerstone is Christ Jesus himself. 21 We who believe are carefully joined together, becoming a holy temple for the Lord. 22 Through him you Gentiles are also joined together as part of this dwelling where God lives by his Spirit.

John 1 1-51 God Became A Human…

In today’s blog I felt the Lord leading me to post this from the bible. Perhaps this is for some of you reading this today. I follow the leadings of the Holy Spirit on what to say, what to post, who to work with, when to work with them….

Remember: God knows us better than we know ourselves and He and only He knows the His perfect will for each one of us. If you are experiencing a sorta tug at your heart today or if you are flooded with emotions and confused perhaps the Lord put this on my heart to post just for you?

It is God’s will for all to come to him and the only way to God is through Jesus Christ. There is no other form, way, religion, rituals…worshiping idols…ect…Guys it’s not about the “forms” or “rituals” it is through having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ that gives us access to God!

If you have read my other blogs and seen what has occurred with others you will see the leadings of the Holy Spirit working In and Through me to work with others…..It is not I it is Jesus living in and through me through the work of the Holy Spirit who guides and directs my every move. God bless each and every one of you who read His Word today.

1 In the beginning the Word already existed. He was with God, and he was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 He created everything there is. Nothing exists that he didn’t make. 4 Life itself was in him, and this life gives light to everyone.

5 The light shines through the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it. 6 God sent John the Baptist 7 to tell everyone about the light so that everyone might believe because of his testimony. 8 John himself was not the light; he was only a witness to the light. 9 The one who is the true light, who gives light to everyone, was going to come into the world. 10 But although the world was made through him, the world didn’t recognize him when he came. 11 Even in his own land and among his own people, he was not accepted.

12 But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. 13 They are reborn! This is not a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan – this rebirth comes from God. 14 So the Word became human and lived here on earth among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the only Son of the Father.

15 John pointed him out to the people. He shouted to the crowds, “This is the one I was talking about when I said, ‘Someone is coming who is far greater than I am, for he existed long before I did.’” 16 We have all benefited from the rich blessings he brought to us – one gracious blessing after another. 17 For the law was given through Moses; God’s unfailing love and faithfulness came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has ever seen God. But his only Son, who is himself God, is near to the Father’s heart; he has told us about him.

19 This was the testimony of John when the Jewish leaders sent priests and Temple assistants from Jerusalem to ask John whether he claimed to be the Messiah. 20 He flatly denied it. “I am not the Messiah,” he said. 21 “Well then, who are you?” they asked. “Are you Elijah?”"No,” he replied.”Are you the Prophet?” “No.” 22 “Then who are you? Tell us, so we can give an answer to those who sent us. What do you have to say about yourself?” 23 John replied in the words of Isaiah: “I am a voice shouting in the wilderness, ‘Prepare a straight pathway for the Lord’s coming!’”

24 Then those who were sent by the Pharisees 25 asked him, “If you aren’t the Messiah or Elijah or the Prophet, what right do you have to baptize?” 26 John told them, “I baptize with water, but right here in the crowd is someone you do not know, 27 who will soon begin his ministry. I am not even worthy to be his slave. ” 28 This incident took place at Bethany, a village east of the Jordan River, where John was baptizing.

29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look! There is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! 30 He is the one I was talking about when I said, ‘Soon a man is coming who is far greater than I am, for he existed long before I did.’ 31 I didn’t know he was the one, but I have been baptizing with water in order to point him out to Israel.”

32 Then John said, “I saw the Holy Spirit descending like a dove from heaven and resting upon him. 33 I didn’t know he was the one, but when God sent me to baptize with water, he told me, ‘When you see the Holy Spirit descending and resting upon someone, he is the one you are looking for. He is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ 34 I saw this happen to Jesus, so I testify that he is the Son of God.” 35 The following day, John was again standing with two of his disciples. 36 As Jesus walked by, John looked at him and then declared, “Look! There is the Lamb of God!”

37 Then John’s two disciples turned and followed Jesus. 38 Jesus looked around and saw them following. “What do you want?” he asked them. They replied, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are you staying?” 39 “Come and see,” he said. It was about four o’clock in the afternoon when they went with him to the place, and they stayed there the rest of the day. 40 Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of these men who had heard what John said and then followed Jesus. 41 The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother, Simon, and tell him, “We have found the Messiah” (which means the Christ). 42 Then Andrew brought Simon to meet Jesus. Looking intently at Simon, Jesus said, “You are Simon, the son of John – but you will be called Cephas” (which means Peter).

43 The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, “Come, be my disciple.” 44 Philip was from Bethsaida, Andrew and Peter’s hometown. 45 Philip went off to look for Nathanael and told him, “We have found the very person Moses and the prophets wrote about! His name is Jesus, the son of Joseph from Nazareth.” 46 “Nazareth!” exclaimed Nathanael. “Can anything good come from there?” “Just come and see for yourself,” Philip said.

47 As they approached, Jesus said, “Here comes an honest man – a true son of Israel.” 48 “How do you know about me?” Nathanael asked.And Jesus replied, “I could see you under the fig tree before Philip found you.” 49 Nathanael replied, “Teacher, you are the Son of God – the King of Israel!” 50 Jesus asked him, “Do you believe all this just because I told you I had seen you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than this.” 51 Then he said, “The truth is, you will all see heaven open and the angels of God going up and down upon the Son of Man, the one who is the stairway between heaven and earth.”

For those of you who do not understand this…it means that when you become saved….Jesus sends the Holy Spirit to dwell in you…and that is why I say I am led by the spirit of God because he dwell within me.

Be Blessed!
