Receiving My Spiritual Inheritance

'For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the spirit of sonship. When we cry, “Abba! Father!' Romans 8:15 (RSV)

And it is a process for me in becoming the daughter of God. There have been so many moments of meeting Him there in my prayer room and being filled with His spirit. That has been where it started and where it will end. It is by obedience in intercessory prayer that He has prepared me for the life of the Father in me. And it was in that very room fifteen years ago that the Lord came to me while I was seeking more of Him. It was such a real visitation and even though God is Spirit, I could even hear Him breathing. There He was as that room became filled with His Glory and the most loving presence that I have ever known came over me and into me. 

The day I met the Father I began receiving a little more of my Spiritual inheritance. The Father's presence changed the atmosphere. Even though I was dealing with some tough issues at the time, all fear was gone. I felt safe. The most gracious spirit came over me and it lasted for days. His presence put His complete Love for everyone into my heart. Everything seemed to fall into place in my life. I felt free as the joy of the Lord filled my heart that day. Since then, I have never looked back. What an amazing encounter. What an amazing God. What an unbelievable gift it is to be adopted into His Kingdom and to be able to call Him Father!

Dear Father. Knowing You is the beginning of wisdom. Thank You for the times that You make Your presence known to us. Thank You for the glimpses that You give us of Your very nature, that of love. Love that completes us. Love that is good and wonderful and kind. And even the Love that overwhelms us at times when we need You the most. We respect You and we thank you that we can call You our Father. Make Yourself at home in us. Thank You Jesus for Your sacrifice at the Cross. In Jesus's name. Amen.

The Day of the Lord Approaches

Image
' 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 ...

Mixing Oil and Water

Image
 ' Behold, how good and pleasant it is     when brothers dwell in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head,      running down upon the beard,   upon the beard of Aaron,      running down on the collar of his robes! It is like the dew of Hermon,      which falls on the mountains of Zion! For there the Lord has commanded the blessing,      life for evermore. Psalm 133:1-3(RSV) Unity? Unity is what God sees and demands of us because He loves us. Uniformity is what men wrongly try to force on one another and try to do to one another and to those things around them. Uniformity leads to chaos. It's a challenge to try to live together in unity when we see the things around us as they really area, different. It's a lot like trying to mix oil and water. There truly are so many things to deal with in life, all of various sizes and shapes and colors and purposes....

Up is Down Times

‘What sorrow for those who say that evil is good and good is evil, that dark is light and light is dark, that bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter.’ Isaiah 5:20.   The Word of God really is like a light unto my feet, it illuminates my thoughts, it justifies my behaviors. The Word of God is good.    The Word of God is good because it reveals the Truth. God is Truth. God warns those that light up the darkness in order to rebel against Him. Darkness is sin. And in darkness sin is used to cover up sin. Lies are told to justify the ungodly; bitter is sweet, dark is light, up is down. Woe to those that condone and therefore justify sin. God will deal with them justly. God is Holy. Justice will be served.   And don't we see it being played out on the intellectual side? Being smart in the ways of the world might gain you some position of power and some stuff, but worldliness is lacking in righteousness and it will never prevail. There is nothing wrong with having ...
