Keep Me

'Search me, God, and know my heart;
test me and know my concerns.

See if there is any offensive way in me;
lead me in the everlasting way.' Psalm 139:23-24 (HCSB)

Search me. My desire is to be tested. Search me God. Weigh me with Your own honest scales and determine my level of integrity. I do not fear my own heart exam. I look forward to it. Isn't it time for my soul review checkup? I know You to be a fair and honest judge. Tell it to me straight. I seek Your Holy counsel especially if the poking and the prodding and the humbling and the proving bring me back to Truth. Keep me returning to it, my favorite place.

Know me. My longing is to be in my favorite place. Every day I find myself seeking more of You. My wise counsel. You try the heart. Who knows me better than You do? Who spends more time with me than You do? You know me better than I know myself. Keep me hungry for more and always seeking You.

Test me. Put me to the test. I'm starved for more of what pleases You. If Godliness is what You desire of me then by all means have Your way and cleanse me of anything that breaks Your heart. Make me anxious for nothing when things seem too difficult. Help me to see that You never meant for me to do this alone. Make me acceptable to You. Approve me and trust me with Your precious Gospel. Sharing to bring You glory, never to please men but only You. Keep me in Your Will and Your Way.

See me. Who can discern his own faults? The weight of the thing laying there is just waiting to be revealed. Exposed and confronted. Remove the weight and keep my heart light. See me to cleanse me of all of my own hidden enemies. Keep me free from sin.

Lead me. Keep me on course. Keep me safe. Never missing a beat. Never turning away from the mission. Never tiring from doing good. Never offending others along life's merry heart way. Lead me so that I might always remember to be kind along The Way that leads to joy unspeakable and life everlasting! Keep me focused on You with each step that I take while on the straight and narrow path journey that leads me back home to You. When I take the focus off myself I have the assurance of many more prayers and revelation to come.

The Day of the Lord Approaches

' not forgetting to gather as a community, as some have forgotten, but encouraging each other, especially as the day of His return approaches.' Hebrews 10:25 (VOICE) Days of future trials are coming and yet are here. Last days. The day of His return approaches. No one knows the hour. So we are told to be even more diligent in our calling. We should be always watching, praying and bringing a word of encouragement to one another through the power of God. For what signs and wonders happen in the House of the Lord! Oh so amazing. The Miraculous. God provides the Fire. The battle is the Lords. We are told not to fret but only to enjoy the ride as we thank Him. So as I pray I want to thank you Lord. I am totally devoted to You. Equip me to preach the gospel. Now is the time and I will not forget my mission. As I arise I will not forget to put on my Full Armor of God. I will cling to your Bible. I am committed to carry it with me. I will hold it up as a sword in the town ...

The Look

Image
' Looking straight into their eyes, Jesus replied, “Humanly speaking, no one, because no one can save himself . But what seems impossible to you is never impossible to God!”' Matthew 19:26 (TPT) So if the poor deal with envy and the rich with pride, who then can get in? Who can be saved? None, except through the grace of God. Only God can save us. Only God can change the hearts and minds of men. Nothing is impossible to Him.  Dear Father Thank you for loving us and sending us Your Son Jesus our Savior even while we were yet sinners. When we were sinners You pursued us and turned our hearts toward You.  With just one look You could see into our souls. You knew what we needed. You did what needed to be done. You did the thing that seemed impossible to man. You perfected a Way for us to be reconciled to You and even with our sinful natures. You made converts out of us. It's nothing we could have done on our own without You. We could never doubt You. You cleaned us ...

A Warrant to Believe

Image
' By “the Lord” what I mean is the Spirit, and in any heart where the Spirit of the Lord is present, there is liberty.' 2 Corinthians 3:17 (VOICE ) Holy Spirit thou art welcome in this place. For wherever the Spirit is there is Life and Liberty. The Spirit brings with it freedom. Joy. Believers, we are blessed. God is gracious. Through the Cross, He has given us a way to be free from the law of sin and death. The veil between us and God has been lifted. The Holy Spirit brings the Light of Christ which illuminates and frees us from former blindness and darkness. The Spirit brings regeneration and sanctification as we are changed and made more like Christ everyday. We are free to walk in the ways of the Lord. Oh how we need thee this very hour Holy Spirit. Issue to us a warrant not as in the world and its laws, but of the gospel to believe. We do believe in You. Thank You Lord! Dear Father We repent to You this day, that we have failed to seek more of You. You kno...
