As far as I can remember ...

GO INTO ALL THE EARTH has been on my heart because of my radical encounter with Jesus Christ. He is awesome !! Read on.

This morning I was praying and I thought about something that touched me when i was a little kid, and it As far as I can remember God has given me His heart of compassion but for many years I used it for all the wrong reasons, but I was still searching for love. Even as I roamed the streets aimlessly, God had a plan for my life. When I tried to drown out my pain with drugs he was there and when I attempted to hurt others because of the pain in my heart He was there for me, as I know He is there for you today.

As far as I can remember whenever I would see someone without a family, or a movie with orphans in it especially when they were not being cared for properly I would begin to cry inside, and sometimes tears would stream my face in the bathroom where no one else was. This desire to see the lost saved was planted by God and no devil in hell can stop the plans of God amen!

If I was hurting you would know and if I was joyful you would know, but the compassion for people, for souls has always been there I just tucked it aside. I love God so much now and I truly love people I just cannot walk by them without giving them a real genuine hope for eternal life. Gods love burns inside me like a furnace and as far as I can remember it always has and it always will!

My problem for many years was I opened up my heart and life to corruption and sin. When Jesus radically saved me, I saw that He not only had a great plan for my life, but I realized i would go through levels of persecution and suffering. I would need to view my life as not my own but His. I would need to live to love Him and love others genuinely and sacrificially.

James 1:27 [NLT] "pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you."

Isaiah 61:1-2 [NLT] "The Spirit of the sovereign Lord is upon me, for the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted and to proclaim that captives will be released and prisoners freed. He has sent me to tell those who mourn that the time of the Lord favor has come, and with it, the day of Gods anger against their enemies."

Psalm 68:4-6 [NLT] "Sing praises to God and to His name! Sing loud praises to him who rides the clouds. His name is the Lord - rejoice in His presence! Father to the fatherless, defender of widows - this is God whose dwelling is holy. God places the lonely in families; he sets the prisoners free and gives them joy, but he makes the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land."

As I was typing these scriptures and even as I have been thinking and praying this morning I realized just how much pain I brought myself through and put others through. It was all meaningless and selfish. But Gods grace and Gods plans are so much better, because it didn't
stop there.

He has called me out, and I have responded to His call. I cannot take credit for what he has done, I can only declare that as I bowed my knees to Jesus He saved me, He healed me and He delivered me from the grip of satan and darkness. Now I am honored to preach the Gospel, the greatest news about Jesus the Messiah everywhere I am gifted an open door, and I am not ashamed, I am blessed.

So no matter where you find yourself today, rest assured that God has a place for you in His Kingdom, in His family. Don't roam around in a sun-scorched land. God will come through and He will take care of your enemies even if there are many He will raise up an army for His dear beloved child. Seek Him while He may be found and He will give you rest.

Dont let the dreams and the visions God has given you fade away. Also help raise up others to know Jesus it is the greatest relationship anyone will ever enter into. Pray and seek the Lord, let the Holy Spirit fill you up completely and let God clean you up. You are never to dirty for Jesus to love you and heal you.

Keep it real

Hey blogger friends,

I want to be transparent today and say I am going through a really hard time, and could use some help --- just wanna keep it real. I need a breakthrough in my life and I am asking you to pray for me personally, my family and ministry Lets Go. (www.letsgoministry.com) Thank you for your prayer support it truly is the support that I need right now, it will unlock with flood gates of heaven.


I do not know any other way for breakthrough,  except to fully trust the Lord and allow the Holy
Spirit to invade "my space", so He will flow freely. I used to drown myself in alcohol, drugs, work and lustful relationships; But now, I trust in the Lord. Even though today is very hard to press on by faith, I will. I know that is the key which unlocks the floodgates of heaven.

As I prayed today, these scriptures just saturated my mind and my heart was changed supernaturally. In fact, God keeps speaking to me about resting in the Holy Spirit.

Proverbs 3:5-6 is an amazing passage of scripture, let it flood your soul
Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.

Matthew 6:33 radically stuck me with great purpose for desperate need
Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.

As I read these scriptures, these words popped out! What more could I possibly do, but to rest in Holy Spirit, seeking the Kingdom of God passionately. Trusting will complete abandon of all other self reliance. I will think on things above, in the place where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Because in that place is great pleasure, and great treasure. I feel it now! Breakthrough!! Do you?

SEEK - (Zeteo): to seek in order to find; by thinking, meditating and enquiring. To seek, strive or aim at. To demand and to crave something from someone.

TRUST - (batch): to trust in and have confidence in. To be bold. To make secure and feel safe. To confide in another and to place all hope in. To be so secure that there is no fear for ones self.

I repent today, for not fully trusting and laying my life down for my brother, or for my neighbor, and for not loving You God as You called me to - with my whole heart, soul mind and strength. I ask Holy Spirit for You to fill me up, and to fill up the reader today. In Jesus name amen.

Proverbs 11:17-18 has a great point I needed to hear too -
Your kindness will reward you, but your cruelty will destroy you. Evil people get rich for the moment, but the reward of the godly will last.

Lasting REWARD - (Seker): wages; one who makes wages

Hebrews 11:6 puts it this way -
And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to Him must believe that God exists and that He rewards those who sincerely seek Him.

God is a REWARDER - (misthapodotes): one who pays wages

John 12:5 expresses a sacrifice with ones own possessions to simply do what pleased God -
That perfume was worth a years wages. It should have been sold and the money given to the poor.

I have tried on my own, and working to try to make things happen. But that has not worked out.

Just wanted to KEEP IT REAL, I want to seek His Kingdom more than my own, I want to trust Him more than ever and I want to with an open heart, receive the wages He loves to give to His children. When we work hard, and not give up God blesses us with great wages. I hope this was a blessing to you today!

Remember, Romans 6:23 Father forgive me for my sin, I turn to You today! Holy Spirit fill me.
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

God bless you, in the remaining of this year, and leading into 2015 I will keep going forth with what God provides, no matter what it looks like. I will not doubt, I am victorious in Jesus name! Hallelujah! To God be all the glory, forever and ever amen.

Revelations 12:10-12 (NLT) " Then I heard a loud voice shouting across the heavens, “It has come at last—salvation and power and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters has been thrown down to earth— the one who accuses them before our God day and night.

 

And they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony. And they did not love their lives so much that they were afraid to die.Therefore, rejoice, O heavens! And you who live in the heavens, rejoice! But terror will come on the earth and the sea, for the devil has come down to you in great anger, knowing that he has little time.”
