God Is Always With You. Even In Your Mess.

This goes to all those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, but feel as if He is a million miles away. He sees you right where you are. He hears those cries of pain and sorrow you let out during the late nights. Those chains that are slowly wrapping around you, or have wrapped tight, can only be broken by our Lord; you can not overcome them alone. The one who took that pain on Himself and exchanged His life for that freedom you so desperately crave is reaching out with tears in His eyes. He is cheering you on and He is your greatest encourager. He is the lover of your soul and the keeper of your heart. Now, as you kneel with tears in your eyes, before you state your request, simply say, “Lord, I am here, what is it YOU want to say?”. Be aware as He surrounds you, speaks into your heart and fills you with peace. Allow our mighty King to snap the chains that bound you and set you free from that which has you so trapped and unable to move past. He is able, for our loving Savior has faced all that you will ever face and more, and He overcame it all. Trust in the one who has power to hold the universe together and create something from nothing, but whose gentle touch can bring comfort to even the most broken. Oh how His heart burns with love for you and how is mind is full of thoughts towards you. Draw near to Him and He will draw near to you; closer and closer to Him till you physically feel His heart beat as He holds you close in His embrace. Seek Him daily right in the midst of your hurt and He will by no means drive you away. He is your Father, you are His child, and He loves you with such a fiery love that He will meet you in the middle of your mess May the grace and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

The Reality Of Spiritual Warfare.

Know who it is you fight. It is not against brother, sister, mother, father, or any other creature that has flesh. For it is written, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” (Ephesians 6:12). Stop giving the devil so much credit for he is not god and can not be in more than one place at a time. Being that God has assigned angels to you, so too does the enemy have entities assigned to you. Those feelings of paranoia you have or sets of unease, may be times when something is really watching you. I do not type this to put fear in you, but to make you aware of the war that is all around you. Have you ever seen flashes of light that appear to be right in front of you? That is the consequence of war that is happening in the supernatural that manifests itself in the natural. Demons are not metaphors, they are very real and you fight them daily; if you do not fight them, then you are a slave to them. When you feel as if there is a set of eyes on you and there is an intruder in your midst, just know that there is another set of eyes on you. The eyes of the Lord Jesus Christ never moves from off you and His protection is forever on you. He has sent angles to watch over you and fight battles that you are more than likely not even aware of. Ask Christ to teach you how to wage war on these vile dark forces, for they do not play fair. They will invade your space and your mind with the most enticing things, and yes, they will even invade the privacy of your dreams. Be prepared and use the weapons and artillery given to you by God Himself, and remember, He fights for us, not against us. Cry out to Him and He will guide you and give you strength. May the mercy and grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

Know Who You Are In Christ.

Who am I Lord that you think of me? Who am I that you await for my prayer? Who am I that you look on me with mercy and grace? Who am I that you would love me so deeply? After the things I did against you and all the vile things I said about you; I mocked you, blasphemed your name, and pointed a finger to the heavens and cursed you. At one point I was so convinced that you did not even exist so I turned to a self-proclaimed god and prayed to his angels. But you oh Lord, reached down despite my ignorance and grabbed my calloused heart of stone and crushed it. Because of you I was raised from death and into life. Transformed by the Creators hands. You never reminded me of my wrongs or the times I conversed with the enemy, but you do remind me of your power over them, for it was you who delivered me from the clutches of their slimy paws. So who am I? I am yours my precious Lord, my God, my Savior. I am a child of Almighty God, He is the I Am, He is the One who is, who was, and is to come. I am redeemed and set free by the blood of Jesus Christ. I am in the hands of the Father, and there is no thing nor no one who can snatch me out of His mighty hands. Know who you are in Christ. Grace be with you all.

Christ Is The Light Of The World.

Are you running from Christ and truly believe that you can outrun Him? Here is a reminder of who He is: He is the creator, and sense He is the creator, when He said “let there be light”, it came forth traveling at 186,000 miles per second. Know that the creation is not greater than the Creator, therefore He is faster than light, for He is not bound by time or space. With that, you cannot outrun Him, you can’t outlast Him, and there is no where you can go that He is unable to go; He will be wherever you are. In your darkest moment, thought, or intention, He is there to shine His light. It is Christ who can drive out the darkness because in Him there is no darkness for He is light, for Jesus said, “I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life” (John 8:12). I will not claim to know the reason you are running from the only one who gives freedom. I do know that as long as there is breath in your body He will not give up on you, He will always reach out to you, and He will never stop pleading with you to turn to Him. The loving Savior calls out to all who are willing, and to those who are not willing, to come to Him and be set free from anxiety, depression, addiction, mental instabilities, suicide, and much, much more. The only one who can put those demons on their knees begging “Oh, Son of God, do not torment us” is the Champion of heaven, at which they will then flee in terror because the light of Jesus Christ conquers all darkness. It is Christ and Christ alone who can set you free, and when Christ sets you free you are free indeed; turn to the light. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

 

A Poem Of Praise To My Lord.

Here with me oh Lord, I am aware that you have surrounded me. You have touched my calloused eyes, opened them ever so wide to see. My heart of stone you have crushed, and a tender heart you put in it’s place. When I came to you in my brokenness, so gently you wrapped me in your sweet embrace. Direct me my precious Savior through the fires I walk, through them my Lord I will praise your Holy name. You are with me my mighty King, you will never leave me and you are always the same. Now that I know you Lord, how did I manage to live without you prior? For it wasn’t living at all, but barely living and walking a fine wire. You came to me in my darkness, exploding into my vile heart. You stood up for me and loved me, now nothing will tear us apart. You are for me and I for you, I am made to worship the King. My lips will praise you my Lord, yes, praises to you will I forever sing. Lifted, exalted, raised to the highest, I worship you with all of me as a whole. Honoring and loving you my precious Lord. Indeed, loving you with all my heart, mind, and soul. I love you my most dearest Savior, you gave me ears to hear and eyes to see. Oh my most precious Lord I love you, because it was you who first loved me. (Grace be with you all).

May The Father of Lights Shine On You.

To the brokenhearted, Christ is near. To the one’s hurting deep in their spirit, Christ gently reaches down to embrace you. It is written, “The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit” (Psalms 34:18). Torn by questions, confusions, ripped heart, boggled mind, and what seems like an insurmountable feeling of dread, know that the Father of lights will shine joy back into your life, even if it may be one ray at a time. They say time heals, but really it covers, builds, molds, shapes and restores; quiet often, it brings back memories. Such a fragile world we live in. Just like the majestic colors of a sunset as it paints the canvas of the sky, but as the wind blows it soon fades. But God is eternal, He is forever with us, always there, never giving up on us, and never once has He closed His eyes and slumbered. The heart of the Father is set upon you, you are in His hands and in His thoughts which are beyond measure. Mathematical calculations can not even begin to measure the affection He has for you; imagine a sum that goes past infinity. Is there such a sum that can represent such immense proportions? Why of course there is, it is the love of God. Let us forever trust in the Lord, for He is good and His mercy endures forever. May the love, peace, and grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

Here I Am Lord; Send Me.

It is written, “In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple” (Isaiah 6:1). Isaiah entered into Gods throne room. He saw the Lord on His throne; he saw angels with six wings flying as they sung “Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory”, so loud did they sing that the posts of the temple shook. Isaiah quickly realized how unclean he was in the power and the presence of his Holy God; he realized how unclean his own people were because he has seen the King, the Lord of Hosts. God said, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?”, and Isaiah said, “Here I am; send me” (Isaiah 6:2-8). We too must have this same heart. We have encountered the King, the Lord of hosts. We know how vile we are in the presence of our Holy God, but we also know that the blood of Christ has cleansed us and we are clothed in His righteousness. Let us cry out, “Here I am Lord; send me”. We possess the greatest truth given to us by God, the truth is the Gospel of Jesus Christ that must be spread; who are we to keep it to ourselves. Tarry a little longer Lord so more people can come to know you and receive your great gift of salvation. Reach out, take hold, and receive the power of the Holy Spirit to have power to proclaim the truth with boldness. We are ambassadors of Christ, and we need to go and tell people about our great King and what they must do to be a part of His kingdom and His family. Let us say, “Here I am Lord; send me”. Grace be with you all.
