Take A Bow

Apr30

Admission is the first step of action to be saved. You must admit to yourself, and then to Me that you have sinned and you need a Savior. It takes great courage to become humble. It takes great humility to become saved.

The Children of Israel were a stiff-necked people unyielding, and refusing to bow; it cost them the promised land and many, their lives. You may take a lesson on what not to do by reading the accounts of My children from long-past. The names have been recorded as a statement to the world that stubborn rebellion is a costly game to play; with stakes too high, the outcome sure death. Whereas, true humility begins with death, but the outcome is Life Eternal.

The bill marked Paid in Full!

Learn to bow before Me.

  • The first time comes the hardest–you feel shy, embarrassed, unsure.
  • The second time, you’ve stumbled–you’re defensive, nervous.
  • Third–you’re broken, ashamed.

With every bow you are more clear of that need of a Savior.

With every bow–that need.

With every bow–more freed.

Bow before Me in true humility. With every bow–

True kneed

“But truly, as I live, and as all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord, none of the men who have seen my glory and my signs which I wrought in Egypt and in the wilderness, and yet have put me to the proof these ten times and have not hearkened to my voice, shall see the land which I swore to give to their fathers; and none of those who despised me shall see it. But my servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit and has followed me fully, I will bring into the land into which he went, and his descendants shall possess it.” Numbers 14:21-24

“Do not now be stiff-necked as your fathers were, but yield yourselves to the Lord, and come to his sanctuary, which he has sanctified for ever, and serve the Lord your God, that his fierce anger may turn away from you. For if you return to the Lord, your brethren and your children will find compassion with their captors, and return to this land. For the Lord your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if you return to him.” 2 Chronicles 30:8-9

“God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” “Humble yourselves before the Lord and he will exalt you.” James 4:6b, 10

“For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of God; for it is written, “As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall give praise to God.” So each of us shall give account of himself to God.” Romans 14:10b-12

“Have mercy on me, O God, according to thy steadfast love; according to thy abundant mercy blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin! For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done that which is evil in thy sight, so that thou art justified in thy sentence and blameless in thy judgment.” Psalms 51:1-4

“But may all who seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee; may those who love thy salvation say continually, ‘Great is the Lord!'” Psalms 40:16

“The reward for humility and fear of the Lord is riches and honor and life.” Proverbs 22:4

In Time

Apr14

Lengthen your day by rising early, while it is night if need be. For though your day will be longer, you will find as you adjust, that this will not be a burden, but a blessing.

If you spend time with Me each day, early, you will be amazed how smoothly the remainder of your day will be. I will order your steps and cause faithfulness to be a delight to your heart.

Your time will be planted as seed, and harvest will come in ‘deed,’ for you will find your tasks to be easy and a delight. My Grace will empower you to move mountains that you seemingly couldn’t budge before and you will find your steps to be ordered–your time to be measured as if it multiplies.

I value and honor those who commit time to Me. Your harvest will be precious and sweet from time planted at My feet; time well spent, but also ‘in time,’ you will come to find, that you will…

KNOW NO DEFEAT!

 

“I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.” Proverbs 8:17 KJV

“My heart is ready, O God, my heart is ready! I will sing, I will sing praises! Awake, my soul! Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awake the dawn! I will give thanks to thee, O Lord among the peoples, I will sing praises to thee among the nations.” Psalms 108:1-3

“O Lord, in the morning thou dost hear my voice; in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for thee, and watch.” Psalms 5:3

“I bless the Lord who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me. I keep the Lord always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is glad, and my soul rejoices; my body also dwells secure.” Psalms 16:7-9

“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord; and he delighteth in his way.” Psalms 37:23 KJV

“Thou dost show me the path of life; in thy presence there is fullness of joy, in they right hand are pleasures for evermore.” Psalms 16:11

 

Receive The Kingdom

Mar24

Lack is not a good thing. It is not something I would cause in your life to teach you a lesson. Many of you have been told this from good-meaning people trying to console, but it is simply not true. I would never contradict My Word to teach you a lesson. This is a lie from your adversary to try to trick you into embracing the counterfeit.

Lack is the absolute opposite of My Blessing, that I give to you freely–generously. It is My desire that you always, under all circumstances, have every need met, but so much more than that–

I want to fulfill your every desire and hope.

I want to embrace you with so much love that you never want for any good thing.

Have I made Myself clear?

Don’t ever believe the contrary again. It is simply not true. Children, it is the Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom–

Receive it!

“O fear the Lord you his saints, for those who fear him have no want! The young lions suffer want and hunger; but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.” Psalms 34:9-10

“–therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you shall eat, nor about your body, what you shall put on. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. Consider the ravens; they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds! And which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his span of life? If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest?” Luke 12:22-26

“Consider the lilies, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass which is alive in the field today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O men of little faith? And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be of anxious mind. For all the nations of the world seek these things, and your Father knows that you need them.” Luke 12:27-30

“Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things shall be yours as well. Fear not little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” Luke 12:31-32

“The blessing of the Lord makes rich, and he adds no sorrow with it.” Proverbs 10:22

“I (wisdom) love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me. Riches and honor are with me, enduring wealth and prosperity. My fruit is better than gold, even fine gold, and my yield than choice silver. I walk in the way of righteousness, in the paths of justice, endowing with wealth those who love me, and filling their treasuries.” Proverbs 8:17-21

 

Happy 2013 Readers!! Will this New Year find you Willing?

Jan1

Are you willing? Willing to go the extra mile and to sacrifice your time for Me? Your life? How much of yourself are you willing to give?

I don’t require sacrifice–

  • I require faith.
  • I require hope
  • I require determination of heart
  • A willing heart and obedience to my word

A life in the Spirit is not a demanding life, but one that is joyfully ordered. It is simply redeemed. Removed from the curse.

The curse isn’t taken off of you, you are removed from the midst of it. The curse is on the Earth. It is on the soil and those who choose to toil and serve the Earth choose the natural life to be their master. Those who choose to live by the Spirit are no longer slaves, but Sons. Sons of the living God and have dominion over the Earth and over the curse. (see Rom 8:14-15)

Take authority over any form of the curse and cast it out of your life. You have been redeemed from  the curse through Jesus Christ who was made a curse for you, though He was and is a sinless man and God. Once made natural man, now crowned forever King.  (see Gal 3:13, Rom 6:9-14)

So are you.

When you wear that crown of honor, without shame, you honor the King of kings, your Lord of lords.

Stumble not little ones.

Hold your head up.

Honor the King!
