Nuthin' But The Blood

"Pray"-by Michelle

"Pray all the time ask God for anything in line with the Holy Spirit's wishes. Plead with him, reminding him of your needs, and keep praying earnestly for all christians everywhere. " Ephesians 6:18

Prayer is so important in your walk with God. Without prayer we could not have a relationship with Our Savior. Prayer is simply talking to God...that's it. Imagine you have a "friend" that you hang out with everyday, all day long...but you don't really ever communicate with them. You can't really create an effective relationship like that and you won't learn anything about them! The same is true with God. The more we talk with Him and the more time we spend with Him, the closer we become...and the relationship will become stronger. When our relationship becomes stronger it gives God more of an opportunity to work through us, and we start to understand His voice and what it is that He is telling us to do. The more that God works through us, the more we are transformed into being like Christ, and isn't that our ultimate goal? Strive to be like Christ. Allow God to use you...Communicate with God! He LOVES to chat! :)

keeping it real

Proverbs 10:9
"The man of integrity walks securely, but he who takes crooked paths will be found out."

Tell the truth the first time and you will make life a lot easier. Be a person of integrity. Then, when someone finds out your secrets, you can feel secure knowing that you have lived for godliness. However, a perverse and deceitful person has to constantly worry that someone will find him out. There is no security or assurance in crooked paths, only the certainty of getting tripped up and caught. When the secrets of evil that have been whispered in dark places get shouted from the rooftops, those who have lived for the Lord can be secure, knowing that what gets shouted about them is said with the voice of God: "Well done, good and faithful servant!"

the big THEN.

Just a little over two weeks ago, The Lord was dealing with me about several things in my life that I had seemingly ignored. My walk with God in the past three years has been an absolute delight. I have naturally had trials, but I am always amazed to see God moving and to see myself growing in HIM. Because I am so on fire, I constantly find myself asking of God to help me to the Next level of Glory.

"Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to everyone generously without a rebuke, and it will be given to him." James 1:5

I was however, sometimes impatient, wondering why I was not yet where I wanted to be in God. I would dig more, press harder, pray longer. Yet I still wasnt really seeing the results that I knew God could give.

"Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us," Ephesians 3:20

Then I came to a point where I sought out wisdom like never before, I kept thinking that the word of God says "I shall not want" and diggidy-darn-darn it, I am tired of wanting!

2 Chronicles 7:14 CHANGED MY LIFE! "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."

I couldnt help but notice the "THEN I will heal there land." This showed me that there was a recipe for allowing God to hear my prayer in a responsive way. Naturally God can "hear" all of our prayers. But this reffers to the type of hearing that causes God to respond. To heal. To repair. To restore. To fulfill (woooo I am getting excited just typing this. I'm about to dance up out my clothes yall). This is our recipe for success.

I then understood that if I was lacking before it was because I failed to complete the recipe. In my particular situation, I noticed several areas that were "wicked ways" and I had just not noticed before, or I ignored. So with the power of the hily Ghost, I took drastic steps to remove those things from my life, I did some serious cutting away...and it was certainly painful...but I did learn something...Love/Faith/Belief require action. If you say you want an area of your life to change, then you will change it. At the end of the day if its not changed, then you didnt really want it. Likewise before I didn't want to let go of the things that stood in my way. Well about two and a half weeks ago I let go and THEN He heard my prayer and healed my land.

The last part to this is that, although I was restored in Jesus, there were things that were out of my reach. I simply cannot spend my time trying to convince the people around me that my land is healed. IT JUST IS. The enemy began to attack and me, my God, and my land made it through fairly easily, but the people observing had no faith in the change. When you receive your breakthrough, you don't have to spend all day trying to convice people of it. Just enjoy your healed land and rejoice in the Lord. Others will come around and if they don't. Show them the recipe ;)

"Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy," Jude 1:24

Pride

Proverbs 11:2 reads "When pride cometh, then cometh shame:but with the lowly is wisdom"

Pride is a terrible thing that many of us struggle with. I am willing to admit that I have struggled with it big time. I have found that in the past I truly dispised being wrong, and would go to extreme lengths to win arguments just to protect my pride.
Then after diving into the word of God and recieving revalation I decided to do it God's way! LET ME TELL YOU...it was one of the most freeing descisions of my life. I realized that in my obediance I had the Lord with me... and "where the spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty!"

I found that when I chose the route of humility, I was actually set free by my integrity...It is refreshing to know that "it is what it is" instead of "it" being a lie. This was so beneficial to me, I thought I would share it with you all.

Preperation and servitude

"Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him. "Teacher," they said, "we want you to do for us whatever we ask."
"What do you want me to do for you?" he asked.
They replied, "Let one of us sit at your right and the other at your left in your glory."
"You don't know what you are asking," Jesus said. "Can you drink the cup I drink or be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with?"
"We can," they answered. Jesus said to them, "You will drink the cup I drink and be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with, but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared."
When the ten heard about this, they became indignant with James and John. Jesus called them together and said, "You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." Mark 10: 35-45

Is that powerful or what?

You know I often quote the portion of scripture that says Jesus "did not come to be served, but to serve" but reading this passage in its entirety was really an eye opener. According to the scripture above the greatness that is ahead of us is determined the servitude we display now.

so of course the question is "How many of you are serving?"

we know that the word tells up "the harvest is pleantious but the laborers are few"
but how many of us are really laborers? Because the scripture speaks for itself I want to encourage us all to serve in the kingdom of God. Don't just get your ticket and have a seat.

Many of us may not know what to do but seel God, and PURPOSE TO DO SOMETHING FOR HIM! in your servitude you will be great. When you are presented with men and women of God, serve God by serving them. Paul had Timothy, Moses had Aaron, Elijah had Elisha. Jesus had 13 of em! lol.

Remember as noted in Mark above "whoever wants to become GREAT among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be FIRST must be slave of all. "

Peace and blessings. .5

Extra Extra Performance

What did you say?

I know that when the times are tough or things in life or stressful, it is easy to pour out the reality of our issues in everyday speech. We talk about how our lives are stressed, how we are worried, or what it is we can't do. But Today I declare those days to be over!

Proverbs 18:21 says "Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof."

What this means is we have the power to dictate how our end will be with our mouth! It is this simple....if you say " I can't" then you are right! you cannot. However if you will be bold enough to declare things done in the name of Jesus, simply say "I can" then believe me my friends YOU WILL!

Matthew 17:20-20And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I SAY unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall SAY unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and NOTHING shall be impossible unto you.

Romans 4:17
"A it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were."

This is what WE must do in order to see monumental change take place in our lives, call thing which are not as though they are. Think of the great men and women in history. They didnt just stand by and say that they could not achieve, that they would never be. Instead they rose to the occasion and purposed to do great things! You too are great! You can and will accomplish great things because your life is in the power of your toungue! Be blessed.

"Even in Ministry there have been several things that I have sought to accomplish but it was not until I started speaking those things into existence that they truly came to pass!" - Point5

Colossians 4:6 (NKJV)
"Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one."

To speak with grace is to speak words that are wholesome, fitting, sensitive and purposeful.
Salt flavors and helps preserve our foods from decay. So also our speech should be gracious and salty, in essence adding flavor and be a purifying influence in our walk with Christ.

Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. Ephiaians 4:29

The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way And the perverse mouth I hate. Proverbs 8:13

Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; Keep watch over the door of my lips. Psalm 141:3

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my strength and my Redeemer. Psalm 19:14

in all things showing yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility. Titus 2:7
