Say to the Mountain!!

Based on Mark 11:11-25

I use NKJV but this past week read this in 'The Message' Bible and it is neat how it says it.

The Lesson of the withered fig tree

Jesus walking along the road..Peter questions why the fig tree was shriveled up. Jesus was matter-of-fact: "Embrace this God-life. Really embrace it, and nothing will be too much for you. This mountain, for instance: Just say, 'Go jump in the lake'-no shuffling or shilly-shallying-and it's as good as done. That's why I urge you to pray for absolutely everything, ranging from small to large. Include everything as you embrace this God-life, and you'll get God's everything. And when you assume the posture of prayer, remember that it's not all in the asking. If you have anything against someone, forgive -only then will your heavenly Father be inclined to also wipe your slate clean of sins."
What a powerful scripture...there are times when we are faced with insurmountable odds or something that is overwhelming. KJ says, 'Have faith in God' and then the Lord goes on to say if we say, mountain be removed ...do not doubt...and believes that what he says he will have. But a key is if you have any unforgiveness you need to deal with it and let the blood of Jesus cleanse you from all sin. If you do not forgive He will not forgive you. Faith can move a mountain!!! But one of the keys is to forgive those wrongs done to us.

With God all things are possible!!

Come Let us Sing

Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord;

let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.

Let us come before Him with thanksgiving

and extol him with music and song.

I love the Psalms....music is the center of my life and brings me great JOY. David is called a psalmist and I can picture him when he was in a hard place there was a song in his heart. It is in the hard places that a song will come. Sometimes it is in the morning when I awake or in the car riding somewhere that God will drop a tune in my heart and I will start to hum and then I know that God has me on His mind.

I purpose in my life to Sing, Shout, Live and Love with everything

within me until I meet Him face to face. Lord let me always hear the song in the night!

Merry Christmas

Jesus Christ

The Son Of God

He is the breath of of life within us...

The fountain that refreshes us....

The grace that frees us...

The truth that renews our minds...

The way that guides our steps....

The love that fills our hearts...

the fullness that gives us joy!

May His love fill your heart and home

Have a Love-Filled Christmas Season

And a Joy filled New Year

"He tends His flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in His arms

and carries them close to His heart; He gently leads those that have young." Isaiah 40:11 niv

Walking with God - "I WILL"

Psm. 57: 1-2

I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until the disaster has passed.

I cry out to God Most High to God who fulfils (His purpose for me.)

vs. 7 My heart is steadfast, O God....I will sing and make music.

vs. 9b I will sing of your among the people's.

Psm. 59:16

I will sing of your strength in the morning I will sing of your love... for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble. (scriptures loosely written)

I love it when you read the scriptures and God just drops thoughts in your heart for the place you are walking in. This was on Saturday after a challenging couple of weeks. I like the words "I WILL" we are given the choice each day what we decide when given a situation. A key for me is what is 'His purpose for me'. My prayer: Lord let me walk in your will and purpose even when I do not understand your will and your ways. Singing is big part of my life.....when my mouth is filled with song it cannot be filled with the negative. I Choose to sing and trust the God of my salvation!!

Word of God Leads!...Speaks!...Guards!

A thought for today!!
Solomon instructing his son on the commands, laws, precepts and principles of life.
Prov. 6:22 loosely translated...'The Word will lead you where ever you roam...The Word will stand guard over you as you sleep....The Word will speak in the morning when you awake.' What more do we need?

In quietness and confidence shall be our strength. Isa. 30:15 It is not the absence of problems and trials. It's an undisturbed calm in the midst. It's all right! God is in control! As we quiet ourselves it will bring confidence.

Study and meditate on the Word of God. His Word will bring the peace you need..It will Lead...Guard and Speak...How powerful is that!!

Song-Faithful Servant

I was reminded of a song as I was having my devotions this morning. I wrote it many years ago. Many times this is the way God would speak to me and I have several.

As you work for Jesus many things will come against you.

Hold fast to His word and don't let go.

Souls are waiting throughout this hungry land.

Don't disappoint them, show God's salvation plan.

Time is almost ended and the fields are over ripe.

So be a faithful worker, be true throughout the fight.

And when your journey's completed and at His throne you stand.

He will say, 'Well done my child, enter into the promised land.'

He will help and guide you, oh He's faithful I know.

So trust in His promise as through this life you go.

And when your work is ended I'm sure that you will find.

You'll be with Him in glory walking in His sunshine.

There you'll live forever with the King of all ages.

Walking on the streets, singing His praises.

Oh Glory Hallelujah. Yes, let His praises ring.

Hosanna in the highest. Hosanna to the King.

He is Coming!!!

I was riding down the road with my husband the other night headed home and the Lord said 'it is a day like today I am coming' NOT when things are in turmoil. We use to sing a song, 'I'm looking for Jesus to come someday'. His coming is so much closer.

For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout,

with the voice of an archangel,

and with the trumpet of God.

And the dead in Christ will rise first.

Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up

together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.

And thus we shall always be with the Lord.

Therefore comfort one another with these words.

I Thessalonians 4:16-18

Some would ask the question 'Do you believe that?" ...Oh yes, I firmly believe that! ...I stand on it!....because the Word of God teaches it. I have taught it to my children and now to my grandchildren and will my great-grandchildren when they are old enough. I have told them you need to ask Jesus to forgive them and to ask Him to come live in their heart and He promises a home in heaven. Whether it is by the rapture or natural death we are secure in knowing that we will all be together one day. There is great peace and comfort in the Word of God as we face the turmoil in the world today. Jesus is coming are you ready?
