God bless you guys!:)

You

Everyone has an idea of what they look like, who they are.  How they believe God sees them.  How they see themselves... But how does God REALLY see you?   No matter what you have done, don't forget that God loves you more than you can ever understand.  Sometimes, the hardest battle is aligning our thoughts with God's thoughts.  His thoughts about us, and who we are.  So start trying to align your thoughts with His.  And see what happens.
It's about time you understand how you appear to him, even if you don't see it yourself.








Dirty. Filthy. Soiled. Stained.
Broken. Despondent. Fractured. Disdained.
Aware of the inadequacies that lie within
Hating the frequency with which I sin.
These chains that seem so hard to break
The wrong choices  I constantly make.


But Clean. Purified. That’s what You say
Renewed. Repaired. My sin washed away.
Valued with a price so high
You sent Your only Son to die.
A slave no more You set me free
And broke these chains surrounding me.


Chosen. Called. And dare I say it?
Loved! Adored! You call me Your favorite.
You say my adequacy is found in You
And not determined by the things I do.

God's Mind and You

To those of you who dare to read this, be ready to consider carefully what I am about to write, and be blessed by it. :)


Today's Ponder:


First.  Ponder God.  How big is the CREATOR of the ENTIRE universe? How BIG is He?


Then, once awed by that thought, continue reading.


Second. According to Psalm 115:12, "The Lord has been mindful of us; He will bless us;"  Break this down smaller.  Mindful = inclined to be aware; bearing in mind. AKA.  God's mind is FULL of is.


According to scientific studies, humans only use a certain percentage of their brain, and yet, look at how full our minds are.  When thinking of the enormous God who created everything we can possibly imagine, designed each living thing so intricately...Again, how big is he?  What is the capacity of His mind, which knows no limitations?


I said all of this, to ask you this:


How many thoughts of YOU does it take to FILL God's mind?  


Based on the evidence written above...this is a valid question.

Declaration

God's put it on my heart to write a general declaration, consisting of Bible verses, some well known, others not as much.  With God guiding me the whole way, I just changed the passages from their original Biblical format, into first person perspective. These are powerful verses that will really impact your future, upon confessing them.  Instead of speaking out the negative, or the way things are, or the way things look to be, speak in a way that can change your future, affect your future in a good way.  I recommend declaring this over yourself daily, or as often as you can, because it is clearly stated that what you speak and confess now, will have an impact on your future.  Whether this impact is positive or negative is up to you, and the words you give life to.


"Whoever guards his mouth and tongue keeps his soul from troubles." 
Proverbs 21:23
"Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
And those who love it will eat its fruit." 
Proverbs 18:21


~ The Declaration ~


This is the day which the Lord has made.  I will rejoice and be glad in it. (Psalm 118:24)
I belong to Christ, and have therefore crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. (Galatians 5:24)
I choose to walk in love, and I will be a light for Christ to all who see me.  I will bring joy with me wherever I go.  I carry peace; I have patience; I know self control.  Christ’s goodness, kindness, and gentleness will shine through me in my life daily.  I will remain faithful to my God, to my family, and to the calling on my life. (Galatians 5:22-23)
My mouth shall speak wisdom, and the meditation of my heart shall bring understanding. (Psalm 49:3)
I humble myself before my God, and I set my heart to understand. (Daniel 10:12)
I am a doer of the Word, and not a hearer only. (James 1:22)
I will not give place to the devil in my life, my home, my health, my finances, or my family.  (Ephesians 4:27)
I cast my burdens on the Lord, and He shall sustain me. (Psalm 55:22)
I have confidence in Christ, that if I ask anything according to His will, He hears me.  (1 John 5:14)
I have faith, also, that my God will supply all of my needs, according to His riches and glory by Christ Jesus.  (Philippians 4:19)
I can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens me.  (Philippians 4:13)
I am more than a conqueror through Him who loved me.  (Romans 8:37)

Rest

Come, seek Me.  Find rest in My love for you.  Find peace in My presence.  Will you let Me comfort you in your hour of need?


Wisdom blesses those who seek her; therefore, be wise in your awareness, My child, of where you draw your strength, comfort, joy, peace, reassurance, and your love.  Make Me your only resource for the requisites and desires of your soul.  I am the Reservoir of all life and love.  Draw from Me, and you will not thirst. 


Rest easy, also, in My promise to return for My beloved bride.  You should never worry about what tomorrow will bring.  Today has its own troubles and trials.  (Matthew 6: 25-34)


I am known by many names.  Among these, I am called Comforter.  I will hold you when the storm within yourself is raging.  I am love; therefore, My love will never fail.


Do you not realize that I have designed you for such a time as this?  Can you not understand this?  This generation needs your gifts, your talents.  Can you predict the outcome of this age if you neglect the calling on your life?  Can you imagine the souls you will save, if you embrace your gifts?


Do you know what I have called you for?  Have you allowed Me to unveil this mystery to you?  I cannot show you, if you will not see.  Spend time with Me in the quiet of My embrace.  I will tell you.  Seek My face.  Let me introduce you to My everlasting, unconditional, unfathomable love for you.


Rest in me.  I will supply all of your needs.  Just trust in Me.


"Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? 
“So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 
“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’  For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."


Matthew 6:25-36

1.11.12

Oh, you foolish man, how can you ignore My cry for your heart?  How can you blame Me for your strife?  I desire to help you, if only you allow Me, ask Me, trust Me.


Trust in Me, seek My face.  Ask Me for wisdom.  Desire understanding.  I cannot stress to you how important it is, how key it is, for you to follow Me, to long for wisdom.  Desire Me.


The father of deceit, Satan, comes to steal, kill, and destroy.  His intentions are to keep you from understanding My mysteries; the mysteries of heaven, the mystery of your purpose…do not let Satan’s lies or the perversity of this world keep you from unlocking the gifts and tools that I have strategically placed within you.


My child, when I tell you things, when you obtain new revelation knowledge, do not put aside these things, and save them only for yourself.  Share the wisdom that you found when seeking My face, for it could aid another who is struggling in their spiritual battle.


You know in your heart the gift which I have given to those who will receive it.  My only Son.  He suffered as you do; He bore your shame, your pain.  So that you can be free from all of it.  No more pain, no more sorrow.  Surrender your worries to Me.  Cast your cares and fears upon Me, and I will take them far from you—as far as the East is from the West.


Higher places.  Look at where you are standing now, as you read these words.  Spiritually.  Physically.  I have higher places for you.  No matter if you’re standing in the lowest valley, or the tallest mountain, still I have higher places to take you.  You were placed on this earth, at such a time as this for a reason.  You have a purpose that ONLY YOU have the gifts and tools to accomplish, so that you may contribute to the intricate design created by the God of the universe, the Creator of all things.


My love for you is jealous; overpowering; liberating; raging; enveloping; sweet; wild; pure; furious; deep; everlasting. 


“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.” 
Revelations 3:20


“The lips of the righteous feed many, 
      But fools die for lack of wisdom.”
Proverbs 10:21


“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.”
Jeremiah 29:11


“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; 
      Before you were born I sanctified you; 
      I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” 
Jeremiah 1:5


“Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.  And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.”
Ephesians 1: 15-23

Love Letter

Dearest Child,


You’d be wise in understanding,
That you’ll never know what’s coming.


Through sun and rain,
My judgment remains the same.


Never lose hope throughout all trials.
It will be forgotten in a short while.


In every battle, every struggle, you will gain
Victory over all turmoil and pain.


Never worry or fret.
Instead, forgive and forget.


Don’t listen to Jealousy’s lies.
You’re perfect in My eyes.


Sing Me a love song,
So that I may wash away all your wrongs.


Just let Me inside. . .
You know you cannot hide.


Never lose faith in Me.
My love for you is great, can't you see?


Bind your soul to the will of Heaven,
By sharing the gift which I have given.


I will never leave you, nor forsake you.
This is My promise to you.


Your Father, Provider, Friend, Shelter, Comforter, and Rock,


God
