Rest

And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

KJV Isaiah 65.24

 

rest

God has heard your need for joy

And rejoicing,

Peace and stillness,

Bread and nourishment,

Protection-

Deliverance-

Love-

A Father-

Integrity-

Faith-

Strength-

A place to lay your head-

His Holy Spirit-

All your prayers God knows.

He hears your cry.

Prepare for a return.

Work On Me

work on me

 

The joy that you have

It is the joy that I need.

Three million pieces,

On the floor,

More than broken.

Name a destroyer,

Not important to me.

The repairer, I know,

He releases my grief.

The joy that you have,

Is the joy I need.

Only you can number my pieces,

Your hands are qualified.

You are all I need.

Do your work on me,

Before I am swept away.

This is what I ask.

 

No Caution

Kneel

Find me where I am.

Sit me down, you too,

Is this about me, You-

No answer is found.

Are you from above-

There is dirt in your skin, I see the dust.

Just talk.

Desperation lives.

This voice is old,

My thoughts, seasoned.

Grace, mercy, love.

What comes-

What goes-

What stays-

There is a chief above every beast,

A master, His eyes are open.

Hide where-

Live, grow, renew,

Be more.

Find Him, find you.

Where he is, kneel down,

Now it begins.

God is Speaking

And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee. And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me. Ezekiel 2:1-2 KJV

Hearing God gives you an advantage. If you can hear God for yourself no one will be able to mute His voice, and leave their own words as an imitation. God’s voice trumps every other whisper or mega phonic sound that falls on your ear. Without the voice of God to lead you, you are left open to become a victim to defeat and stagnation, and you will live without direction as you go about fulfilling meaningless purposes. If you do not become intimate with God how will you hear him?

Bringing God into your atmosphere will cause the finger that rest on the mute button to cramp up and be removed from your hearing. As you enable yourself to hear God clearly every blanket of doubt that others desire to lay over your head will fail at its intended task. When others try to speak over God, remember this one thing: God does not discourage you; He has sent hope for every area of your life through Christ. You may suffer as you live and are tried in different ways, but God never says that you should not try. God knows who he is and what he is able to accomplish.

We are assured that we are able as we find in the Holy Bible that all things are possible through God. If we are connected to him through Christ all becomes possible. God is the lifter of your head and he is not called the strong tower because of lack. You asked and he answered as he said he would. Receive his reply. Hear him over emotions, hear him over doubt, hear him over the fear from your mind and that of others, hear God over what others expect, let his voice drown out the negativity. God is leading you.

Connected To The Vine

Abide

 

If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you. St. John 15:7 KJV

 

If we accept God’s instructions, his way of helping us to live on this earth, God will hear us and answer us. The Ten Commandments are God’s words and should not be looked at as a strict set of rules to be challenged. God’s words are the foundation for living in such a way that causes us to abide with him. The commandments God set for us to live by provide insight into God’s character, and being made in his image these words create the silhouette for our own character.

The Ten Commandments are a part of the God authored handbook known as the Bible. The Bible not only holds the Ten Commandments, but it holds the answers to a number of life’s questions and dilemmas we find ourselves in. Gods words are with power and his handbook will allow us to build an integrity based character and a positive memorable lifestyle, but will more importantly lead the soul into a position for external life.

Christ, the vine has made it possible for our connections to him and God the Father to be solid, but we must acknowledge and accept him as Christ the Savior who died for our sins and rose again. Christ encourages us to be the branches that are connected to the vine, which leads to the Father. Being the fruitful branch allows us the opportunity to live as we should and to petition God for our needs.

My Voice

praying hands

 

Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.  Psalm 55:17 KJV

 

I call, you hear.

My stillness is rewarded.

Answers come as I wait.

My pain ceases quickly.

I hunger no more, you provide.

 

My meditations bring peace.

Quietness takes control of a noise stricken life.

A superabundance of joy floods my sunken heart.

Love rains down rinses my hate away.

Sin surrounded me upon exiting my mother’s womb;

Calling out to you caused your power to consume.

The sin is now removed.

 

I travel forward in this race,

My meditations give me a place.

Always hear me when I call,

I need you every day of my walk.

Confidence

confidence216

 

If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up. Daniel 3:17-18 KJV

Where does you confidence reside? Is it in God and what he is able to do whether your desire is met or not? Would you ultimately put your life in His hands while being challenged with death to disown him? If your confidence is in God you can faithfully serve him knowing that your life and choices are not in vain if they are as a boomerang and will land your back in the Master’s hands.

The Holy Spirit will teach you how to live and what to say. Allow it to enter into your soul and lead you so that every step you take gives you the strength of being planted in righteousness with the ability to move about freely with self -control. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego from the book of Daniel did not lose control or become excited, they had a relationship with God that made them sure of His power. We have the opportunity to have a relationship with the same God, Christ has allowed us to have God’s spirit dwelling inside of us.

Call on him and make the connection you need. Serve and worship him with your whole heart and actions and there will be a confidence in you such as the one these men had concerning God that no one will be able to dilute.

Scripture Inspiration; Daniel 3, St. John 11 KJV
