It's in His Kiss

If you wanna know if He loves you so....


John 16:26-27 In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I shall pray the Father for you; ²⁷ for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and have believed that I came forth from God. 


The Lord God is not far away or mysterious in His expression of love towards us!  He has shown the greatness of this love in the person of Jesus, who God sent to save us from death and sin!  Oh! the depths of this Love! What kind of King and God would save His rebel people?! What kind of Father would relentlessly go after a defiant child who has turned their back on the family and spat at the inheritance?! What kind of King would go into the fire in place of His subjects?  Jesus!!  the Son of God, in obedience to the Father and for the joy set before Him, would take on all the wrath meant for us sinners, and pour out His own blood to make Himself our Righteousness, that we could be with Him where He is, seated in heaven ruling over all nations.  I join now with the songs of heaven and say, "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain!" glory be to Jesus! King of kings! Lord of lords! Merciful, Gracious, Patient One, who is God alone!   Revelation 5:11-13 


^{Psalm 146
3} Do not put your trust in princes,
         Nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help.
⁴ His spirit departs, he returns to his earth;
         In that very day his plans perish.
⁵ Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help,
         Whose hope is in the LORD his God,
⁶ Who made heaven and earth,
         The sea, and all that is in them;
         Who keeps truth forever,

Do not look to any other person, place, movie, book...entertainment and social interaction can only be beneficial and lasting if it is Christ centered! O God set my mind on things above, through Your Holy Spirit and Word teach me your ways, your emotions...revelation, wisdom, understanding of this God and King in who alone we can know if He loves me so...it's in the kiss of His word!

² Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth— (words from God's mouth)
For your love is better than wine.
³ Because of the fragrance of your good ointments,
Your name is ointment poured forth; Song of Solomon 1:1-3 

Revelation 1  One like the Son of Man... ¹⁴ His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire; ¹⁵ His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters; ¹⁶ He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength.

Hebrews 4:12

For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

The word of the Lord like a sharp sword bringing truth to every heart!  His voice like many waters! Loud and powerful, washing clean!  Declaring the Love of God and the salvation offered to those who repent and call on His name! We all are in need and searching for love and truth, because God has put it in us to find Him who is the Word, the Truth and the Light.

Job 41
 ¹⁹ Out of his mouth go burning lights;
      Sparks of fire shoot out.
 ²⁰ Smoke goes out of his nostrils,
      As from a boiling pot and burning rushes.
 ²¹ His breath kindles coals,
      And a flame goes out of his mouth.

Psalm 119

103 How sweet are Your words to my taste,
         Sweeter than honey to my mouth!
¹⁰⁴ Through Your precepts I get understanding;
         Therefore I hate every false way. ¹⁰⁵ Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.

The world is full of darkness, and my heart is dark! But, You O Lord say I am lovely! Jesus You are the light, Your word lights up the way of Truth, lifting my head to know that hope is found, love is found, salvation is found in God alone! Set my heart ablaze as I take in Your words and meditate in conversation with Your Holy Spirit.  I want to burn with Your truth in these times of deception, fill me with Your Holy revelation and wisdom in all understanding.  In Jesus name I ask to a burning one in the wilderness of confusion and fear, let me burn with the gospel of Jesus to bring light and hope, to prepare the way of the Lord. May the name of Jesus, Son of God be lived higher, and higher!

But His word was in my heart like a burning fire Shut up in my bones; I was weary of holding it back, And I could not. Jeremiah 20:8-10 

Knowing Him

Beaten down wearing my crown
Coming soon in one May or June
Sweetened by suffering
Beaten & buffering
Away offense
Today a fence
Built to defend
Not to offend
The Man of sorrows hammered the nail
So my sorrows, I stammered, won't prevail
Justice rolls while vengeance flows
Just His own, while He only knows
Beaten down, I cannot frown
Wearing my crown, casting it down
Humbly low, I take a blow singing
God to know, to know, to know...winning!

HE is good, all the time

^{PSALM 19
7} The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul;
         The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple;
 ⁸ The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart;
         The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes;
 ⁹ The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever;
         The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
 ¹⁰ More to be desired are they than gold,
         Yea, than much fine gold;
         Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
 ¹¹ Moreover by them Your servant is warned,
         And in keeping them there is great reward. 


I want a heart after God, not just after the "so-called" good things of God, (because all HE does is good), but after the "hard" to understand mysteries of His awesome wrath and righteous judgments.  I want to experience the Joy of the Lord in all the things pertaining to the Lord.  When He strikes down wickedness and has mercy on us by loving us enough to discipline us, I want my heart to rejoice and be full of the Joy of the Lord.  
I know it must be true that Our God is the happiest of all beings, and who can even describe what that would look like for such an un-created being: One who created happiness and joy!
Lord Holy Spirit come and open my eyes to see the wonders of Your Joy in judgments, Your love in discipline, Your pleasing wrath.

Colossians 1:18-20 (New King James Version)¹⁸ And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.   ¹⁹ For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, ²⁰ and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross. 

Jesus, You are my example, the head, the first to know the Goodness of God in His wrath, the first to trust Father God fully in obedience even unto death.  Jesus teach me Your ways!  Let me rejoice in the righteousness of God in each and every expression it comes in.  I stand on Your Word that Your ways are true and just every single one of Your ways, O Lord.  Let my thoughts be in agreement, and pleasing to You Father God whom I love because You loved me first, long before time began.  Thank You Jesus

⁹ But as it is written: (1 Cor. 2)
      “ Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
      Nor have entered into the heart of man
      The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
 ¹⁰ But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.


Isaiah 64
 ⁴ For since the beginning of the world
      Men have not heard nor perceived by the ear,
      Nor has the eye seen any God besides You,
      Who acts for the one who waits for Him.
       ⁵ You meet him who rejoices and does righteousness,
      Who remembers You in Your ways.
      You are indeed angry, for we have sinned—
      In these ways we continue;
      And we need to be saved.
