Remnants of the Glee Club


'And Nehemiah continued, “Go and celebrate with a feast of rich foods and sweet drinks, and share gifts of food with people who have nothing prepared. This is a sacred day before our Lord. Don’t be dejected and sad, for the joy of the Lord is your strength!”' Nehemiah 8:10 (NLT)

Tender hearts bring out the best in us. Never stop believing in others. Never stop caring for the poor,  the widows and the orphans. Amen and amen.

God's generous goodness should make me generous as well. I should give freely, even to those who have not prepared. I could give even to those that can never repay. I give because my strength is in the joy of the Lord.

The more of God's Word that gets inside of me the better. The more that I can gain understanding in God's ways the more comfort I will find in Him. As troubles arise and with it comes the pain, God says don't be dejected and sad. Much of the bad stuff that I go through can be blamed on myself in the fact that I just don't know the whole story, I just don't know the whole truth. I am limited by my total lack of knowledge of the things of God. Floods and darkness come into my life like a storm because of my own ignorance and lack of wisdom about things of the Spirit.

But I want to know God better. I want to be able to celebrate at God's table during the famine. I am ready and teachable. My eyes and ears are open. Even when the law comes out and I am found guilty, because of Jesus, there is no condemnation! I can see the hope in tomorrow and feel the joy that is rising up in my own heart, even now, as You, Jesus, dry my tears, and I pray to You, God, this morning. There it is, I've found my Hope, my Love, my Joy and He is the reason to celebrate. Thank you.

Dear Father
Thank you for Your Word. Thank you for Your Spirit that is alive and well in me. Thank you for Your Son that left the incredible beauty of heaven to became like one of Your very own creation and save my soul. I am nothing without you. I need You everyday.

Fill me with Your Word, anoint my head with oil, bring on Your spirit of gladness so that I might see Light and call it light, Good and call it good, Mercy and call it merciful, Joy and call if joyful and live in the overflow.

Jesus, I will testify of Your goodness, I will learn all the dance steps and the Words to sing all of the songs that tell of Your greatness as a lifetime member of the God Glee Club. Let's get moving. Spring is in the air! Plant Your seeds of Life into good soil. Your Love for me is overwhelming and You are so amazing that at times it's just too much to put into words. I am glad that I know You. You have made me glad. Just the thought of You and what You have done for me fills my heart with never ending Joy. You are worthy of my praise.  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 ...

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...
