Seeing God in Unlikely Places!!!

Then the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a blazing fire from the midst of a bush; and he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, yet the bush was not being consumed. So Moses said, “I must turn aside and see this marvelous sight, why the bush is not burning up!” When the Lord saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.” Exodus 3:2-4 NASB.

Although Moses was not seeing/seeking God, this is a great example of God being in unlikely places. As I was listening to From a Distance by Bette Midler there is a part of the song that says God is watching us. This got me to think of how we can see God in unlikely places. Just like the burning bush, there are things all around us that we can see/seek God in and with. This doesn't mean we can go to strip clubs and places like Chippendales and try to see Jesus. This doesn't mean we can go to bars, get drunk, and try to see Jesus there. This doesn't give us the freedom to sin and try to see God. I am talking about seeing/seeking God when you are in the car, in the grocery store, at the mall, at work, in the bathroom, and right outside your front door and other places you can think of like it. 

What about if everything we looked at and sought was God? What if all we could see is God? throughout this series we will look at this and how we can look for God in unlikely places. do you Every feel led to pray while in the bathroom or pray while in the grocery store? If you said yes, that's great but for most praying while taking a leak is kind of weird but I am telling you we need to seek/see God in everything we do, and He will be there in the unlikely places you cannot think of, God will be there. So, I ask what unlikely places you will seek/see God today?

Have a do it Lord Kind of day!!!!

Seeing God in Unlikely Places!!!!

Today we start a new series called See/Seeking God in Unlikely Places. This series came to me in an unlikely way, I was listening to From a Distance by Bette Midler, and it came to me, That we need to look for God in everything we do. Today for preparation let's pray!!!!

Dear God, I pray 

That we not only seek you but we seek you all the time

that we see where You are in the unlikely places

That we look at the places we don't normally look for you and seek You there

That our Eyes would be open to see You in these places and area of our lives

God i pray as we do this for protection that we would not fall or be led to sin in this

But that you would go before us and make our path clean

fighting those battles, we cannot see and that we will come and be victorious in this

I feel led to pray those who are hurting, in pain and needing help

I pray that You do it Lord whatever they need if hurting lift them up, if in pain take the pain and use it for your glory, if needing help that you would help them

Be with each person who is need of this that you comfort them, give them peace, strengthen them.

God I proclaim/declare that it goes from a do it situation to done it situation

Be with each person today who reads this and protect and guide them today

In Jesus's Name, 

Amen

Where will you look for God today in a burning bush perhaps?

The Lord has looked down from heaven upon the sons of mankind To see if there are any who understand, Who seek God. Psalm 14:2

Have a do it Lord kind of day!!!!

God of Desires: Three Things...

So we've been talking about God of desires and most recently been talking in the series about the acronym Worship which stands for:

w-with all we have

o-pen

r-run/relentless 

s-shout praises

h-humble

i-intent

praise like your letting go

These are things God desires us to do to worship Him. Most of all He wants it all. We learned how to praise like were letting go. We looked at do it Lord and what that means. With all this being said and what was said, this all boils down to what God desires, which is He wants it all as I said above. This desire is a two-way street He desires us and we need to worship and desire Him with our all might.

But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. James 1:11 ESV. Be a person who not only hears the word but is a doer and desires God with everything you have.

A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. Psalm 63:1 ESV.

I leave you with three things at the close of this series:

1. Worship God with all your might (Worship acronym)

2. Be a do it Lord kind of Christian

3. As the verse says, above be earnest (intent part of worship acronym) and seek God and give your flesh to Him


For tomorrow we start a new series called Seeing God in unlikely places!!!!


Have a do it, Lord, kind of day!!!!!

God of Desires: Do It kind of God...

Yesterday I shared part of a song and two prayers about this idea of do it, Lord. God wants to do it, we just have to ask, proclaim, and declare it. God is a God of does it, not one who doesn't do anything. Let's take a look at the bible for examples and the best ones are found in the Old Testament In Exodus 16: 13-15 (NASB) which says,13 So it came about at evening that the quails came up and covered the camp, and in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp. 14 When the layer of dew evaporated, behold, on the surface of the wilderness there was a fine flake-like thing, fine as the frost on the ground. 15 When the sons of Israel saw it, they said to one another, “What is it?” For they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, “It is the bread which the Lord has given you to eat.  God did it, gave the Israelites in the wilderness food to eat because they were hungry. Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock at Horeb; and you shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it, so that the people may drink.” And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel. Exodus 17:6 NASB

Right there these verses tell me that God is a do-it God. We pray then He's done it, doing it, or going to do it!!!! My God is a God doing it!!!

25 “For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is life not more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the sky, that they do not sow, nor reap, nor gather crops into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more important than they? 27 And which of you by worrying can add a single day to his life’s span? 28 And why are you worried about clothing? Notice how the lilies of the field grow; they do not labor nor do they spin thread for cloth, 29 yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith! 31 Do not worry then, saying, ‘What are we to eat?’ or ‘What are we to drink?’ or ‘What are we to wear for clothing?’ 32 For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided to you.

34 “So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6: 25-34

 I know these verses about anxiety but it fits about God being a God of doing It. I can find verse after verse on God doing it. The problem we need to pray it, proclaim it, and declare it. Let us become a generation of God doing it not one of a stagnant God. He is moving and in our midst 24/7.

Have a do it, Lord, kind of day!!!!

Prayer Lyrics Prayer...

 Today I pray that everyone gets out of their own way and let God take control

I pray that everyone who read this prayer would lay down their own self and give it to God

I pray that the flesh, the power of evil, would be put to death 

that anything that in our way of God would fall off, be cut off, would flee in the might name of Jesus

I pray right now that chains would fall off and break in the mighty Name of Jesus

I pray that breakthroughs would happen right now in Jesus Name

In the mighty Name of Jesus, I praise you for the victories that are happening

God I pray right now that you do it Lord 

That whatever we are going through or need or praying for that you would do it Lord

Today, Lord today Lord

In Jesus Name 

Amen

These are some of the lyrics to the song Do It lord by Tommy Walk:

I see your glory, covering the earth Lord
Just as the waters, covering the sea
I see the millions, coming to salvation
I see revival, fire in the land
I see the lost, nameless ones remembered
I see the widows, shouting out your praise
I see the friendless, loved and cele brated
Orphans fullfilling Lord, your calling on their lives

I see forgiveness over taking hatred
Pride and prejudice, now giving way to love
I see depression replaced with joy and gladness
And Satan's lies, now bowing to the truth

I see the brokeness of families, brought to wholeness
I see the prodigals, running home to you
Father's hearts, now turning toward their children
And the children's hearts, turning toward the fathers
I see your Church, all rising up in power
Laying down their lives in unity and love
I hear the sound of every tribe and nation
Giving glory to Jesus Christ the Son

God, I pray that you do these listed above

God, I pray today it will happen

God pray that you reign in this world today

God, I pray as it says in the song that glory would be seen

God pray that we would give you glory

that we would turn to the things that are listed above and take back what is lost, what was stolen and whatever else you can think of God

Di it Lord Today

In Jesus Name

Amen

God of Desires: The P...

P-Praise like your letting go.

Praise the Lord!

Praise God in His sanctuary;

Praise Him in His mighty expanse.

Praise Him for His mighty deeds;

Praise Him according to His excellent greatness.

Praise Him with trumpet sound;

Praise Him with harp and lyre.

Praise Him with tambourine and dancing;

Praise Him with stringed instruments and flute.

Praise Him with loud cymbals;

Praise Him with resounding cymbals.

Everything that has breath shall praise the Lord.

Praise the Lord! Psalm 150 NASB


Dear God

I pray that by worshipping like we just don't care about anything else but you Lord 

that you would do it this morning lord that glory would be seen

that by us worshiping like we are letting go that we would empty ourselves and be filled with you Lord

that we would worship like we're letting go that you would take over 

In our lives, the lives of others we see and interact with, and our family's lives

I pray for protection surrounding this so that evil and the devil would not be able to touch or harm us because we are filled with the worship of God

In Jesus Name

Amen

This morning praise like you are letting go and letting God take over your worship, let all the worship you do be that of God and not of you this morning. Praise as it says in Psalm 150 with all that has breath praise the Lord. Praise with all the instruments and dance like David did in your praise this morning like it says in Psalm 150 (David is not mentioned but an example). we are not told we are commanded to worship and to praise God that is what He wants, He wants it all from us. Worship and praise like you're letting and let God take over because He deserves it all from us. Things will begin to change if you do this...

if we do this 

gender identity will change

same-sex marriage will fall away and die

 what about abortion it will go if we just praise and worship as if we are letting go

the flesh industry would be ripped in two

when we praise and worship like we are letting go, this can happen

All evil would flee because of this

Amen to that!!!!!

When God takes over nothing is impossible for Him!!!!!

So, Praise Like you are letting go and let God take control of your worship!!!!

Things will begin to change....

God of Desires: The I....

I-Intent. we need to be intentional when we do anything for God. So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Revelations 3:16 NASB. God will vomit if we are not hot or cold for Him meaning that we are intent one way or another but are wishy-washy. When we come to God, we need to be hot for Him, not cold because it can lead to your destruction or to hell. When we worship, Pray, seek God, help others in God's name, and serve, we need to be intent on doing so. He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His kind intention which He purposed in Him. Ephesians 1:9 NKJV. Even God has intent, if what He is doing according to this verse. 

If we come with intent God will show up and be intent on His end, this intent is not just a one-way street but a two-way street. Your intent and His intent is called faith. When you do something with intent you have faith that it will work. Your intent is an act of faith that God will do His work and His intent is an act of faith to you that He will do the thing you are intent on doing for Him or in Life.

Be intent on your walk with God today!!!

Seek out what your intent is today and make changes if you need to today!!!!!

God, right now I pray that we have a new heart to be intentional

That this intent leads to more faith In Him

Hands off devil, hands off evil, hands off negativity

We are intent today that we are for God  

And In that faith, we reside and are protected.

In Jesus Name 

Amen

Have a beyond blessed day!!!!

God of Desires: The H...

H-Humble. Today we will be talking about being humble. This is probably one of the hardest things to do is to be humble. So much wants to take over pride, the flesh, greed, jealousy, and anything you can think of. We need to not be all of those things and we need to be humble and stay humble. This doesn't mean we have to live with nothing or have nothing or anything like that it just means we need to have a humble heart with what we have and what we do. Let's look at what the bible says about this subject. Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you. James 4:10 NASB. The first verse I found says we are to humble ourselves and then if we are He will exalt us. In the American Standard Bible, the word humble is mentioned 89. In the Amplified Bible, it is mentioned 110 and in the King James Bible, it is mentioned 56 times. So, as I say and have learned through my experiences and research if things are mentioned like this so many times it must be important.

Let's look at another verse on this very important subject, in Matthew 23:12 it says, And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled; and whosoever shall humble himself shall be exalted. We need to be humble so we are not humbled, I have learned that the hard way, I don't know about you. to go further we need to be like children when being humbles as it says in Matthew 18:4 and it says, Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. we need to be like children to further this though let's look at Matthew 18:3 and it says, and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven. 

We are told to grow up all our lives but if we are to enter the kingdom of God we need to be like children. Children are humble and not proud and those other things I mentioned above because according to the Bible they are innocent. Philippians 2:15 talk just about this and it says, so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocentchildren of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world.

Are you like children? Are you humble or prideful? Are you like the pharisees or like Jesus? think of these things and make changes if you need to!!!

Have a beyond blessed day!!!!!!

God of Desires: The S...

S- Shout Praises. Today we will be talking about shouting praises and the best place to start is the Bible.  And they sang one to another in praising and giving thanks unto Jehovah, saying, For he is good, for his lovingkindness endureth for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised Jehovah, because the foundation of the house of Jehovah was laid. Ezra 3:11 ASV. It's not by me that I say this but the Bible says they shouted with greatness when they praised Jehovah. Our paise is to be loud and authoritative. Psalm 71:23 (ASV) says, My Lips Shall shout for joy when I sing Praises unto thee; And my soul, which thou has redeemed. we are to shout for joy when we praise. 

This doesn't mean that the shout we are talking about is to yell from the top of your lungs all the time. But worship should come from the heart, from your inner most being and when it comes from that you may want to yell it from the rooftops and by all means go for it. The kind of shout that we our taking about is giving the praise unto God not just talking them but lifting them up to Jesus. In church you hear the pastor or the worship say give shout of praise to God or give God praise that is kind of shout we are talking about. 

In my soul and all the fiber of my being your praise/shout needs to match what you have gone through. Take time today to see if your shout/praise matches what God has brought you through. One of my favorite movies is Sister Act and there is a song in Sister act two when they are in the assemble singing and sister Marty Clarance Looks around after the boy sings giving his all. The next time your pastor or worship leader say shout/give praise to God shout as loud as you can and if you get head turns just tell them that I want my praise to match what God has done for me.

Come, let’s sing for joy to the Lord, Let’s shout joyfully to the rock of our salvation. Psalm 95:1 ASV

Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth; Be cheerful and sing for joy and sing praises. Psalm 98:4 ASV

Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth. Psalm 100:1 ASV

Have a beyond blessed day!!!!

God of Desires: R the Rest...

Today we will continue with R. We need to run and be relentless. We need to run physically and spiritual from sin, the devil, evil and negativity and run to God.  Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7 KJV. If we seek God, the devil will flee from us. But this running thing/seeking Jesus isn't a one and done things it has to be relentless. We need to praise, worship, pray and seek God 24/7. Yes even in our sleep we need to do those things. Why do you think then, we have verses like 1 Thessalonians 5:17 (KJV) which says, Pray without ceasing. Or Psalm 71:8 which says, Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day. 

we need to be relentless running to God and away from sin and every other unholy thing. We need to be relentless in our worship, in our prays, and in our walk with God!!! If we are not the devil and evil can come in and destroy us. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. These verses are talking about we need to be relentless or else we will be turning away from God. we need to be relentless on watch for the traps of this world and of evil and such things or we will be tempted and led down the wrong path.

Take time today to see where you are not relentless and make repairs if you need to in those areas so you will be ready when trials come, and they will come.

God, I Pray that today we are relentless

We are relentless against the devil, his spirits, and all that is unholy

I pray we are relentless in running to You God

I Pray that we are relentless in our prays, our worship and our walk with you

I pray the powers of sin will be gone as we never stop seeking you Jesus 

I pray all this in Jesus Name

Amen

Have a beyond blessed day!!!!

The Open Playlist....

 A playlist of songs that have open in the title:

https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/open-playlist/pl.u-yZyVlzZuYY6lVJ

Be encouraged!!!!

God of Desires: The R

 r-run/relentless. Today we have two R's, let's start off by talking about the first and which is run or running. Running in this instance works three ways running towards God spiritually, physically, and running away from evil. 14 I press on toward the goal to win the [heavenly] prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:14 AMP We have to run to Jesus and never look back but keep our eyes on the prize which is heaven. We need to pray and to seek God first which means to run to him first like it says in Matthew 6:33, 33 But seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33 ASV. Instead of letting evil have an inch you need to practice running to God daily all day long, it is not a one-time and done kind of thing, we need to continually run to him. I will talk more about that when we get to the relentless part.  

This leads to the third part, which is we need to run from evil and the devil spiritually and physically. the devil, evil doesn't deal just with the spiritual but also the physical which is the flesh. Be subject therefore unto God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7 ASV. But flee youthful lusts, and follow after righteousness, faith, love, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 2 Timothy 2:22 ASV. To flee is run away like both verses talk about. We need to not walk but run to God so that we will be in heaven with the angels. if you remember what happened to Lots wife when she looked back. 26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt. Genesis 19:26 ASV. She became salt meaning she died for looking back and running toward God. what was behind was evil and when you look back to evil it will consume you. It's okay to look back the devil says at what you have done, but then your knee deep in your sin/stuff again. you need to keep running toward God.

The race isn't decided by how start the race but by how you finish the race. Think today about how you want to finish by running towards God today! tomorrow we will continue with the R.

Have a beyond blessed day!!!!

God of Desires: The O

O-open. We to be open to worship, to God's desires, and to have an open mind when we read the Bible. (To be clear I am not saying the bible is open to interpretation like they do today).  Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, Luke 24:45 AMP. And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. Hebrews 11:6 AMP. Both of these verses are just examples of being open to God. if we are closed minded how do expect God to share His desires with us? Remember you have to open the door and he will come in revelations 3:20 AMP. so often as we get older as Christians we get set in our Christian ways and never are open to new things (same things just new ways of thinking and seeing things). You cannot enter a closed door you have to open it, to enter through the door.

God, right now I pray that all who read this become open-minded

that all the closed-minded things of our soul and mind are opened to God today 

That our own doing is drained from our body

and that we are filled with God and His glory and His Spirit

In Jesus Name 

Amen

Why are there so many songs written about open? examples are: 

Open the Gates by Vertical Worship

Open the Eyes of My Heart By Michael W Smith

Open Up Our Eyes by Elevation Worship

Open Hands By Laura Story

Open My Heart by Yolanda Adams

Open Door by Maverick City Music

My Hands Are Open by Bethel Music & Josh Baldwin

So many songs, too many to list but we are to desire God's desires and we are to give all our worship to him with so many written don't you think this thing called open matters. We need to be open right now in Jesus Name Amen. Take time to see where you are not open and open it to God today!!!

Today I will create a playlist today and share it tomorrow on open!!!!

Have a beyond blessed day!!!

God desires: The W...

W-With all we have. 

We have been talking about giving our all to God when we worship. We've looked at Mark 12:30 to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, this means when we worship, we are to give our all. we looked at Psalm 150:6 that everyone who has breath praise God implies if we can breathe we are to worship God. We looked at Hebrews 12:28-29 which says we are to worship that is acceptable to God and that kind of proper worship is all of it, leaving nothing on the table when you worship. 

If you play a video game, you give it your all to win all the way to the end. you want to win and say you made it to the end. You wash your car, and you want it perfect, free from dust, and dirt, and for it to look like a million bucks. One more example is when you play sports you give it your all to win the game no matter what. What if we took all that kind of all and put that kind of all into how we worship, I talked about what would happen (Go back and read). God wants it all from us. An example is a song from Rend Collective called Undignified which says, And I will praise the Lord my God with all my might. I was thinking about this last how many songs that talk about letting go, being undignified, and giving your all and I found just in the songs I knew a lot. if this is true and worship is from God and the songs our from God don't you think we should do as the songs say and give our all in worship? 

If we worshiped like that don't you think the church would be filled to the brim filling over than a strip club or a nightclub where nothing changes?  Ascribe to the Lord the glory and honor due His name; Bring an offering [of thanksgiving], and come before Him; Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness. 1 Chronicles 16:29. There are at least 100 verses about worship, so this must be important. As I read verses about this there are also several verses that talk about acceptable worship. That kind of acceptable worship is with all we have.

to end for today you cannot have desire without worship and that kind of worship requires us to give our all. 

My mouth is filled with your praise, and with your glory all the day. Psalm 71:8

Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness; tremble before him, all the earth! Psalm 96:9

All the earth worships you and sings praises to you; they sing praises to your name.” Selah Psalm 66:4

Have a beyond blessed day!!!

A God of Desires: All

Have you ever worshipped like you left everything at the time of worship? 

Have you worshipped so mighty that you are out of breath? 

Have you worshipped so much that you are dripping with sweat? 

Have you ever worshipped so intently that you start to cry? 

Have you ever worshipped so intently that you go to a different plane? 

Have you worshipped so intently that nothing else matters? 

Have you ever worshipped like your letting go and God takes over?

Have you ever worshipped so intently that you hear things in song and in your mind that you know are only from God?

Have you danced so much that you feel ache after you worship?

Have you ever danced when you worship?

Have you ever run in front of God?

Have you ever stomped in front of God as you worshipped?

Have you ever just started getting a tingling feeling when you worship?

Have you ever started speaking a holy language?


In what I have read and what is in my soul I believe that all these things we are to do when we worship. God wants it all when we worship, to leave nothing on the table, and let it all go, and let Him take over.  and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul (life), and with all your mind (thought, understanding), and with all your strength.’ Mark 12:30 AMP. If you love something you give it your all. One more question, what would happen if we all as Christians worshiped and gave all hearts, souls, minds, and strength, what would happen?

Think about these questions today and meditate on them. See where you need to make changes.

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! Psalm 150:6 AMP

Have a beyond blessed day!!!!

That You May Know

13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life. 14 And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.

16 If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God[a] will give him life—to those who commit sins that do not lead to death. There is sin that leads to death; I do not say that one should pray for that. 17 All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that does not lead to death.

18 We know that everyone who has been born of God does not keep on sinning, but he who was born of God protects him, and the evil one does not touch him.

19 We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.

20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. 21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. 1 John 5:13-21 ESV

Have a beyond blessed day!!!

God of Desires: Sin to Desires Align

 I got up thinking about this song called, Nothing but the Blood of Jesus and was wondering how this fits into what we have been talking about God's desires. Then it hit me we have to wash away our sins in the blood of Christ to Align with God's desires. We have to put the old away and put on the new man (woman). Remember in Romans 12:2, we need to have a renewed mind. We need not be transformed to the sins of this world but to God's will. The will of God is His desires.

Dear God I pray for the sins that we are harboring in Jesus' Name be taken away in the blood of Jesus

That as people pray the sins would just fall off and die and that the people who pray this prayer would be made new with a renewed mind to seek and live out your desires

Sins be gone I declare this today in Jesus' Name

Sin is going out I proclaim in everyone who reads and prays this

Don't hold back let the sins go in Jesus' Name

Sin has to Go In Jesus' Name

Let the blood of Jesus wash over you

Let the blood sanctify you in Jesus' Name

but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 1 John 1:7 ASV

I pray that over everyone who read this

 that we would be walking in the spirit and be cleansed from sin

Go therefore in the light and sin no more

In Jesus' Name

Amen

God Is Light

This is the message [of God’s promised revelation] which we have heard from Him and now announce to you, that God is Light [He is holy, His message is truthful, He is perfect in righteousness], and in Him there is no darkness at all [no sin, no wickedness, no imperfection]. If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness [of sin], we lie and do not practice the truth; but if we [really] walk in the Light [that is, live each and every day in conformity with the precepts of God], as He Himself is in the Light, we have [true, unbroken] fellowship with one another [He with us, and we with Him], and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin [by erasing the stain of sin, keeping us cleansed from sin in all its forms and manifestations]. If we say we have no sin [refusing to admit that we are sinners], we delude ourselves and the truth is not in us. [His word does not live in our hearts.] If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just [true to His own nature and promises], and will forgive our sins and cleanse us continually from all unrighteousness [our wrongdoing, everything not in conformity with His will and purpose]. 10 If we say that we have not sinned [refusing to admit acts of sin], we make Him [out to be] a liar [by contradicting Him] and His word is not in us. 1 John 1:5-10 AMP

Have a beyond blessed day!!!!

God of Desires: What happens!!!!

What happens when you seek and align with God's desires? The answer is you become a new person but what does that mean? The answer is the old person, and the old ways are gone, and new person, with new ways, is put in place. Your thinking changes to that of good things and not of evil. what you seek changes as well you seek good instead of evil.

Examples of this are found in Galatians 5, Romans 12, and Philippians 4. For the first example, it is a contrast between what you did do or sought to what you do and sought when you become a new person.

19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these: fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousies, wraths, factions, divisions, parties, 21 envyings, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; of which I forewarn you, even as I did forewarn you, that they who practice such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Those are the old person and what they might seek. 

But in Jesus, In His desires you would seek the second part of Galatians 5, 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 meekness, self-control; against such there is no law. 

Your mind would be renewed like it talk about in Romans 12, And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is [e]the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honorable, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

So what happens when you align and seek God's desires? Everything changes!!!!!

God I pray right now that all who are changed, who align with You, and who seek Your desires

That you would protect what they have sought and changed

That no evil, no negativity, no devil can touch their new self

That this new self would grow and prosper not because of us or our thinking but by You

It's all because of You and by You this can happen

I pray for each who has changed that you would bless then abundantly

In Jesus Name 

Amen

God of Desires: Free to Pray!!!!

Set the captives free! free your mind from the lies of this world! Free yourself from the years the devil, evil or negative has dogged you! Free yourself from sin and the power of sin! Free yourself from you! Free yourself to be empty so Jesus can fill you back up with Him!

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12:2

Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 1:13

Put On the New Self

If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. On account of these the wrath of God is coming. In these you too once walked, when you were living in them. But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self[ with its practices 10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. 11 Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave,[e] free; but Christ is all, and in all.

12 Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, 13 bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14 And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. 15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Colossian3:1-17

Dear God, I pray that right now that we are free 

In You, by You, and from you

That we would empty our vessels of our desires and fill up with your desires

I pray that the devil, evil, negative would not have a hand even a finger, a fingernail in this

Jesus, I pray full protection surrounding this

Let everything go in Jesus name

Right now everything else but you would fall off

let us be renewed and become a new person

A person called Christian

But a person who is a follower of Jesus

Not a religious person but one of faith and one who wants the desires of God

Take every lie devil and evil say flee from me right now in Jesus' name

No more do I want the world and its desires but God desires

That all that I mentioned at the top of this post we would be free from

 and again, I pray that we would be filled with the desires of God

Thank you, Jesus

I praise and thank You for Your desires filling my body, my mind, and my soul right now

I pray for all who read this worship and are filled with You like never before

In Jesus Name

Amen

God Of Desires: A Prayer!!!!!

God, right now I pray for everyone who reads this that they would let go 

and that You would take over their worship.

In Jesus Name all the things that harbor us from this kind of worship would fall off, be cut out, disappear

Anything we have that hinders our worship would go in the mighty name of Jesus

Don't let this kind of worship pass you by let's worship like the verse says Mark 12:30, and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength.

God, I pray all who read this are given the heart to worship with all they have and leave nothing on the table

And David danced before Jehovah with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod. 2 Samuel 6:14

Right now, I pray that all who read this will dance like David and let go and worship God

Oh sing unto Jehovah a new song: Sing unto Jehovah, all the earth. Psalm 96:1

Right now, that the people who read this would sing praises to your name

I pray right now that they would get up outta that grave as it says in the song I thank God

They would be undignified like the song by Rend Collective

Don't take worship for granite, not today, I don't know how to, dancing is a sin, I worship in quiet, I sit and worship, anything else like that that you can think of

I expel that kind of thinking right now In Jesus' Name

Take everything, take it all so that we may worship you

Like David, like job, the people of Israel

Pray for everyone to worship with all their heart, mind, soul, and strength today

In Jesus Name

Amen

A God of Desires: Worship Desire God!!!!

We have been talking about desires and the desires of God, today I want to about the desire God wants from us in our worship. His desire is that we worship Him with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength as it says in Mark 12:30. I am going to tell you how, praise like your letting go. Yes, the answer is that simple. That means that you are letting go and letting God take over. This came to me from the divine power of God and could only have been Him. I was listening for the first time to a song called, Ancient of Days by Brooke Ligertwood and there was a verse that said So praise Him like we're there in glory but instead at first, I heard praise Him like your letting go. I now believe this isn't the first time I have heard something from God in a song.

Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire. Hebrews 12:28-29. So, Let's praise like we are letting go. The worship that God will find acceptable is, He wants us to let go and let Him take over as we worship. He wants it all so give it all to Him today!!! 

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! Psalm 150:6

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. 1 Peter 2:9.

We are chosen By God so praise and worship Him as such!!!!

Dear God

I Pray that we let go and you take over our worship today

I pray that negative, bad spirits, evil, the devil have no power over us

That whatever we put or is put in our way be brought down in Jesus' name

So that You may have total control of our worship

In Jesus Name 

Amen
