"It's All For You...."

"Here we are, Here we are!  We love You, We love You Lord, You're the One we came here for!" as we sang this in the prayer room today, my heart was awakend again to stand in awe of the love of God.  IT is better than anything, better than wine, better than weed, better than rum, better than fleeting pleasures that last only a moment!  God's love last forever! and ever!
Miracle: God can love through a broken vessel like me!  His love, His righteousness, His blood has made me clean.  It is God's glory to love me and through me!! Brilliant! There is nothing more satisfying than to do what He intended me to do: be loved and to love.  How wonderful is the plan conceived by Love Himself.  He will make men in His own image, but knowing they would turn away from being like that image once deceived by the enemy into wrong thinking about His glorious image, He has sent an exact representation of His image in the form of Christ Jesus, the word of God made flesh, walked among us.  Not only that but He would become the Hero in the natural, the ultimate love story.  Bridegroom dies bring Bride back to life!  Wait!! It's even better!  The Lover of us all, once was dead, but now is risen to life, resurrected and seated at the right hand of God almighty praying for us to have a renewed mind so we can see the beauty of the image we were created in!  Oh the depths of the knowledge of God!  How unsearchable His ways!  Yet so beautiful is His mercy I cannot resist to keep seeking, and knocking, and asking for more revelation of my God, my King, my Judge, my Bridegroom, my Savior, my Friend, my Shepherd, my Oh my!
Well I cannot even pretend to understand, but I thank You Lord for the beautiful plan to love me and to love others through me.  I say YES - Your ways are pure and right!  "Come as close as You want, and consume this heart that longs to burn!  I know Your fire can hurt, but I'd be the worse here without You.  For I was made to dwell with You, and how I ache until I do!"  another song we sing at IHOP just reinforces what I feel in my heart, and even if I don't always feel it, I will declare day by day until His truths and His love are the foundation of my soul.  What God says is true!  His Love Endures Forever! ever!
 "All the other lovers fade away...." as Misty sings sometimes, and they sure do!  All the ones I knew, I know no more, all the pleasures that sucked the life and breath and money from me, have left me with nothing to show for it.  I know that God gives and He receives, so must I receive and give back to Him.  That is the way I was created to be alive, in Him I live and move and have my being.
Joel tells it how it is!  God is good, and He gives blessings so that we may bring offerings to Him who is worthy to receive all the glory!
¹³ Rend your heart 
   and not your garments. 
Return to the LORD your God, 
   for he is gracious and compassionate, 
slow to anger and abounding in love, 
   and he relents from sending calamity. 
¹⁴ Who knows? He may turn and relent 
   and leave behind a blessing— 
grain offerings and drink offerings 
   for the LORD your God. Joel 2


He judges in righteousness because He made all things and has all authority.  He knows what you were made for and what will bring us the best of life!  Thank You Lord!  Have Your Way in every way!  Jesus!

God is so good

Even when I mess up, the Lord's mercy and favor drowned me.  I know my Father in heaven sees me and watches over me because my daily life reflects my Protector.  He loves me I know because in my weak and broken imperfect-ed walk He gives me kisses, like reducing my car insurance this month when I didn't have enough in my bank account to pay.  Praise the Lord because every good thing comes from Him!  If you have something Good it is from God.

James 1:17 (New King James Version)

¹⁷ Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.


So why don't I just relax and trust in my good Father, my good Shepherd, He has given me His own living Spirit within to guarantee that He has my best interest in mind and when He comes back my life will be given account to His goodness.  I will choose this day to rely on and cling to God alone, I will not look to the promises, but to the One who promises, for surely He is all powerful and capable to bring forth glory from ashes, beauty from my broken life.  It is His will to give me life abundant!  Ok God, I'll take it!  thanks so much Jesus, You are the Faithful One and I know that God would go to extreme lengths to save me from evil, so I say today.  I trust in my Lord, my King, and my God.  Jesus you have my heart, keep my eyes focused on You, for when I behold, I become like.  Make me like You Jesus, that our Father would see You in us and stop the separation between God and man forever, and Heaven would be on earth and You would rule with us.  Manifest Your Son in us!

Revelation 21:2-4 (New King James Version)

² Then I, John,^[a] saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. ³ And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. ⁴ And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”

New Year Smile

Onething 2010 was really great! Our Lord blessed us with joy in freedom and abandoned love towards Jesus. I wish everyone I know could have been there, but you can still watch the teachings and enjoy the worship online at ihop.org. Enter in as if you were there using the onething archives!

I was so blessed to be chosen to be a part of the ministry team, helping our media spread the message of God's love and power. Jesus truly is alive and giving generously of Himself through His Holy Spirit. We can taste the bread of life and drink of the cup of life by the blood of the Lamb, Jesus our Savior and King! I give all the glory and honor and praise to God because without Him we have nothing, we are nothing, we love nothing; but with God all things are possible, all good things come from Him, and love will endure all things. Praise to the Power of Love, our God is Love! Thank You Jesus for making a way in Yourself that we could come before the throne of God most high and be called blessed, beloved children of God.

Please come visit us here at IHOP, we have many great events coming up this year as well. see our website for more details.

Revelation 22:16-21 (New King James Version)

¹⁶ “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.”
¹⁷ And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.

A Warning

¹⁸ For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; ¹⁹ and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

I Am Coming Quickly

²⁰ He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.”
Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
²¹ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
