yes and amen!!

God's promises are yes and amen.  their is no umm's, what if's, but's, how's.  all we have to say is yes and amen.  i find myself questioning, pausing, and wondering when i should be agreeing, moving, and focusing on the amazing spirit of the Lord and His might hand on my life.  how many times can i  get staled out because of my own selfishness or pride.....or because my mind is just swimming in questions and doubt of how i can do it.  but that's just it....i can't do it but, He can.  like what it says in romans : our analytical mind is hostile to the spirit of God.   it just proves again that God's ways aren't our ways....we just have to agree and believe Him because who is he to lie.  God is not a liar and his word does not come back void....He starts what He begins if we allow Him to complete His good works in and through us.  i am so honored and humbled to know that He has spoken promises over my life and is letting me run with it.....i mean what an adventure to find out what God wants for your life and truly live it....everyday, every moment and in everything that i do.  how unbelievably amazing it is to find out what God wants for your life and what you passion, long, and burn for are in fact the same things.  it is a great feeling to know that the desires of your heart really line up to what God wants for you.  it is like He gives us the freedom to find out what truly makes us soar and fly but in all truth He placed it their from the beginning of time.....awesome....from the beginning of time He was thinking of me and my life and my future with Him. 

"hear your people saying yes to you, hear your people saying yes to you.  yes to anything you ask, yes to anything we're called to do.  hear your people say amen, hear your people say amen to you.  let your kingdom come on earth, let it be just like we prayed to you.  yes and amen to everything that's in your heart.  yes and amen to everything that you planned.  we live to see your will be done, to see your perfect kingdom come on earth, on the earth.  oh the promises are yes, oh the promises are yes in you.  every good and perfect gift, every blessing that we have is you.  is you.  yes and amen to everything that's in your heart.  yes and amen to everything you have planned.  we live to see your will be done, to see your perfect kingdom come on earth, on the earth.  yes and amen to taking up our cross for you.  give us the strength to take these dreams and follow through.  we live to see your will be done, to see your perfect kingdom come on earth, on the earth.  oh, hear your people saying yes, hear your people saying yes to you.  yes to anything you ask, yes to anything we're called to do.  hear your people say amen, hear your people say amen to you. amen.  let your kingdom come on earth, just like we prayed to you.  yes and amen to everything that's in your heart.  yes and amen to everything you have planned.  we live to see your will be done, to see your perfect kingdom come on earth, on the earth. yes and amen to taking up our cross for you.  give us the strength to take these dreams and follow through.  we live to see your will be done, to see your perfect kingdom come on earth, on the earth."                          - matt redman : beautiful news-

God is not fair !!!

i heard an amazing man this week say one of the greatest statements i have heard in a long time.   God is not fair.....He is just.  at times we may see His will or His path as "unfair" but really He is just being just.  God cannot choose sides or give an emotional partial view....He is always just.  but through His justice He is caring, loving, merciful, and fair.  it amazes me that in everything He is just.....in those times when we are just selfish spoiled children He still remains unmoved and unfaltered.  how awesome is out God.  really.....their is something new to find out about Him everyday.  i am so blessed to be challenged by men and women of God constantly.  i love when people bring you something that you may not of thought of or may not of thought of in that way....it just gives you something to chew on....not just milk but real meat to chew and digest.  thank you Lord for sending prevalent words through prevalent people.

what are we really?

lately i have had some things in my life that have made me really think.....i mean really think.  i had to go to a funeral this week for a very close friends dad and it made really think about life.  i saw him in that casket and i just had a revelation about life and death.  our bodies are nothing more than shells for our spirt and soul.  it was never as clear to me as standing in front of my friends dad in that box.  it wasn't him.  it really wasn't him.  i know that everyone says that.....i know that....but it just clicked.  it was an "ah ha" moment.  i am so thankful that we are made up of  so much spirit and soul.  it just proves that all this hype about our outer person really means squat....nothing in the long run.  if we don't have our spirit right and our soul in the right place.....we are nothing but an empty shell of a body.  i want to be so much more than just a shell....i want to be spirit and soul.  i want people to look at me someday and say that isn't her....that really isn't her.  i know that God is all knowing and all seeing.....but i just can't put into words how much i know now that our loss is heavens gain.  i can't put into thoughts how sad i am for my friend and her family.....what an amazing man. 

Lord let your peace and comfort be with all those who mourn and grieve in this holiday season.  your oil of joy for mourning....your garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.

unbelieveable!!

i don't understand how people who say they are dedicated christians will deny him, reject him, and betray him in a second when given the chance.  we aren't called to be followers of christ whenever it feels good or just when it is an easy road.  i have heard and seen too many friends and brothers and sisters in the Lord fall to the way side for such trival things.  God dosen't tell us to take up our cross when it works for us or when it is in our time or plan.  it is complelty unbelievable to me that people that i know who said that they "love the Lord" would just give it all up for nothing.....for things that are only for the here and now....not for things eternal.  whatever happened to their kingdom mentality.....maybe they never really had one.  maybe they never took thier relationship with the King of Kings as personal as i had thought they did.  it is just so  disapointing that they are not being the people i know God wants them to be and fufill to the fulness of what they could be and what the Lord really has for them.....ultimatly they are missing out on the best for their lives and just settle for something that is easy and for second rate lives.  they lives maybe okay but they aren't the best.  i want the best for my life....and i know at times that isn't the easiest choice or the world's view of what it is all about, but i know that it is what God wants for me.  and i pray the He gives me the strength always to stand for what is right and holy and just.  that i will be always kingdom minded and never waiver from what He is telling me and showing me for my life and what to speak into others.  that i never back away or back down from the things that He wants me to do or say or to go. 

thank you Lord that you have called me to live in the high calling....that you have called me and set me apart for a time as this to be a mighty woman of God and to bring forth in power the things that you have called for me to do.  may i always lean on your wisdom, knowledge, and power because without them i am nothing.....and i will run forward into everything that you have set before me.  let me always be soaked in your spirit and when i walk i puddle and splash onto others around me.  keep my mind, body, and soul very sesitive to your leadings and to your ever small voice.....to know when to talk and when to listen.  i love you....and may i show your love to others as you have showed to me.

amazing insight !!

i love when you get away and hear from the Lord.  i mean when it just hits you dead in the head....ya know.  i heard an amazing man of God today that was right on and gave such a needed word for the body and for me.  it was awesome.  such amazing insight into the word and into my life.  i love that !!  it was on kings and priests.  it was really powerful.  he talked about how in the word that the kings would try to do what the priests were only to do and that would only end in pain and suffering for generations to come.  that kings were made to be kings and priests were made to be priests.  and that kings  are designed to provide provision for the vision of the Lord from the priests.  that in our churches today we are either kings or priests.  we cannot be both.  it was an ah-ha moment.  i am not giving it justice really....to get the fullness of what the sermon was about you would have to really hear it from the pastor.  i know i will get the tape.  ultimately it comes down to this...i have to live the life that God has for me in the now.  even if it is not what i have been "called" to do.  even if i don't see what He has promised for my life right now i have to live what He has me in for the moment....now.  not tomorrow or next week.....but now.  i might not be at the place where i know the Lord wants me at for life in ministry now but He does have me at this place at this time.  i am thankful to know that He has it all under control and i don't have to worry about where He wants me and what i need to do....He has me where He needs me and i will do what He wants me to....always.  it will all work out.....it has to.
