“I am not fair save to the King,
Though fair my royal dress,
His kingly grace is lavished on
My need and worthlessness.
My blemishes He will not see
BUT LOVES THE BEAUTY THAT SHALL BE!”    ~SOS  adapt

BUT LOVES THE BEAUTY THAT SHALL BE!
makes my heart flutter…
by His unconditional, unfailing LOVE,
as we reach up & ascend into His presence
we are made beautiful!
WE ARE BEAUTIFUL!

   I was reading Aaron’s blog today and thought, yeah for him,  he is in a free flow!
   He is allowing the River of God to flow freely through him…no hindrance…
   No iniquity, no sin, no lie to stop it…to derail it, to block it, to redirect it!

    Diligent navigators on the River of  Life must clear the path He has called us to
   “by putting an end to reasonings, and every high thing which is lifted up against the knowledge of God,
and causing every thought to come under the authority of Christ” 2Cor 2:5

   So we set our compass toward our True North, Jesus Christ as we meditate on His Word, pray & obey
   “…pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests…be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.” Eph. 6:18

       selah and sail on

   I long for breakthrough for the Church of RI
and throughout the world!
   Would He do it again for us?
   Is this a “kairos” time when God will grant us
access to BREAKTHROUGH!

He has done it before in past generations and
I believe that “BAAL PERAZIM” will DO IT AGAIN!

RELEASING  STRENGTH and MIGHT
RELEASING  THE SPIRIT of  TRUTH
RELEASING DIVINE DIRECTION and WISDOM

“Give unto the LORD, O you mighty ones,
 Give unto the LORD glory and strength.
 Give unto the LORD the glory due to His name;
 Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

  The LORD sat enthroned at the Flood,
  And the LORD sits as King forever. 
  The LORD will give strength to His people;
  The LORD will bless His people with peace!”
PS 29  David’s Breakthrough Psalm!  ~ selah

soaking
in your presence
my soul is refreshed
the water of Your Word in worship
it flows over me
reviving my spirit
strengthening my heart

reign over me O Sovereign One
in this place of worship
I give myself unreservedly
to You …

make me wholly Yours
for I was created for You
and I was created by You
to bring You glory all of my days

You are the Potter and I am the clay…
as You spin me on Your wheel draw me in
into a depth of intimacy where we are one

one heart, one mind, one spirit, one mouth

I was in the Gospel of Matthew today
and thinking about grace
and how we so often forget to access it…
just as the covenant was split from the old to the new,
the kingdom of grace was established shifting repentance into something so radical…
the axe is laid to the root…something dies
this sword of truth is a gift to us to grow forward…
death to self and alive to obedience in His Holy Spirit.
…to mature is to advance His Kingdom
true greatness is simply an inner self-emptying that manifests itself in humble service to others…by grace.

~selah

You’re my refuge and my strength
O God of my salvation
You’re the Mighty Prince of Peace
And the Lord of every nation
And of Your power there will be no end…

wow…
He IS all we need in every situation!
Believe it!

I was thinking about Elizabeth B Browning’s sonnet today…
“How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.”

I love it when our heavenly Daddy evokes such emotions within me...
It just arises out of a heart filled with gratitude from knowing that
He really cares
He really knows me
my desires
my every thought…

I lost my wedding band…I was tired and took it off and went to bed…
I asked HS to direct me as I looked for it for 2 days;
even checked the trash bag…where could it be…
I finally resolved that I must let it go..
I began my 3rd day in prayer for many things and
as I was pulling my husbands clothes our of the dryer and
thanking God for him as I folded them; out it came…securely lying on one of his shirts…
I looked up and began to weep…
He had done it again; reassuring me, touching me,
watching over me…every little detail… my hearts desire…
over and over He speaks to my heart of His great love and how He is personally watching over
all that concerns me…seemingly such an insignificant thing to many; but not to my Dad…

Trust Him today…for every little detail of your life…
He is watching and He loves you and
He longs to reveal it to you today! selah

the church in Providence is embarking on a journey into His heart

the SERMON ON THE MOUNT
these radical words of Christ
they come to convict us (even condemn)
because we are equally guilty… in our sin we are all guilty

so our sin (in light of the law) points us to our Savior

we must see Christ
we must believe Him and receive His forgiveness

Father, that we may we be so wise…
Holy Spirit, open up our eyes
to the attitudes we manifest from the motives in our heart…
that we may changed

He comes to save us…
He comes to transform us…
so we say “yes” to grace,
we say “yes” to truth,
and in that revelation we go from glory to glory
in that revelation we build His Kingdom
~selah

Jeremiah (7:14) carried the burden of the Lord and proclaimed His
judgments at the temple gate against Judah in Shiloh…

The House of Judah…doing the works of religiosity
they were blind to their apostasy and their rebellion…

ENCORE…1Samuel 1
in a time when the spiritual condition of a nation is once again deplorable
and His judgments return to a disobedient people

ENCORE…AMERICA   Acts29

~ God calls

in the midst of ungodliness…
in the midst of wickedness…
in the midst of apostasy…
in the midst of rebellion…

God Hears…
He hears our prayers and He answers…

SEEK HIS FACE…God looks down from heaven upon the children of men,
To see if there are any who understand, who seek God…for you who seek God, your hearts shall live. (Ps 53,69)

PREPARE A PLACE FOR MY PRESENCE
“Seek the Lord and His strength; yearn for and seek His face and be in His Presence continually!” 1Ch 16:11

In this time of sanctification…as we seek His face and worship the Lord in Spirit and truth…as we pour out our alabaster box in extravagant worship and prayer we will be transformed from glory to glory.
To God be the glory…selah

“thin place”
Celtics say that’s
where Heaven touches earth…
where the Divine meets man…

I long to live there

I  long to live in that place
where He continuously reveals Himself to me
where I can feel His presence
and experience His love…

In those times,
transcending time & space…

When I respond to Him
Intimacy…
selah
