God's Word and presence is like fire...

Hebrews 4:12

For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Jeremiah 23:29 says that "God's word is like fire...."

FIRE ..........

      1) Removes darkness (the word of God removes spiritual darkness)

      2) It gives light and warmth (word of God is a lamp to our path and warms our Spiritual life)

      3) It burns the rubbish (word of God helps us get rid of sin by revealing it to us)

      4) It spreads (So does the word of God. No man or power can stop the word of God spreading to the ends of the earth)

John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

John the Baptist preached:

Matthew 3:11 "I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:"

Jeremiah 20:9, ” But His word was in my heart like a burning fire Shut up in my bones; I was weary of holding it back, And I could not."

May His Word be like fire in us and may His Word change us and make us the 'people after His own heart.'

Our Lord's looking for a generation who will be on fire!
He's looking out for people who will stand up boldly and speak up the truth of the gospel.
Carman writes in his book "Raising the Standard"(one of my all time favorites, don't miss to read this)
"..... we are blood-bought members of the most powerful army that ever walked the earth. We are filled with the same Spirit that raised Christ Jesus from the dead. We are to be champions."
JESUS WANTS US TO LIVE A HOLY, SANCTIFIED LIFE FOR HIM. Even as the world around gets darker and darker, He's looking for a generation that will be His light..!II Timothy 2:22 Now flee from youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, with those who call on Jesus from a pure heart.I John 2:14 …I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
Even when the enemy comes like a flood, our Lord has promised He will raise our standard against him.Isaiah 59:19b"When the enemy shall come in like a flood,
the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him"

God bless,

Abide in His presence...

Hi....

Let's just desire to be in our Lord Jesus Christ's Presence and Abide in Him. Without Him we can do nothing.

When we abide in Him we will bear fruits.

John 15:4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.:6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

Our hearts are set at rest in His presence.

1 John 3:19 This then is how we know that we belong to the truth, and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence.

When we abide in Him, He will hears our prayers.

John 15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.In HIS PRESENCE we'll see ourselves as the Lord sees us.

He not will show us how valuable and precious

we are in HIS eyes.

He will be our strength even if we are weak.

2 Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

He will reveal to us our real identity and He'll show us the authority we have as HIS children.

We'll see we are 'More than conquerors' when we are in HIS presence.
Romans 8:37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

People of this world may have told us....

~~You are useless

~~You are hopeless

~~You will not make it

~~You are a failure

~~You will never be healed

~~You are a looser

~~ It's all over for you

~~You are ugly

And other negative things about you....

Romans 8:1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,

If you belong to Jesus Christ our Abba Father says says.....

~~You are MY CHILD

~~You are created in my image...

~~You are strong

~~You are healed

~~You are a winner

~~You are valuable

~~You are an over comer

~~You are going to make it

And this list goes..on and on..

So when we feel down, low, and feel like quitting, Let's just run to be in His Presence. Let's just sit awhile and talk to Him, read His Word, listen to Him talk.

Let's Praise and Worship Him. If we are not able to sing we can listen to some worship songs.

IN HIS PRESENCE we will be set free

of all that burdens us!!!

 Jude 24To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy— 25to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.

Just long to be in HIS PRESENCE!!!

Philemon 1:6 I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ.

Be Blessed  

YSIC,

Julia

Left my fear by the side of the road
Hear You speak
Won't let go
Fall to my knees as I lift my hands to pray

Got every reason to be here again
Father's love that draws me in
And all my eyes wanna see is a glimpse of You

All I need is You
All I need is You Lord
Is you Lord

One more day and it's not the same
Your spirit calls my heart to sing
Drawn to the voice of my Saviour once again
Where would my soul be without Your Son
Gave His life to save the earth
Rest in the thought that You're watching over me

All I need is You
All I need is You Lord
Is You Lord

You hold the universe
You hold everyone on earth
You hold the universe
You hold
You hold

All I need is You
All I need is You Lord
Is You Lord

Be Refreshed

Being soaked in the natural Rain can be a refreshing experience,
But waiting on the Lord Jesus Christ & staying in Abba Father's presence, being anointed with the Holy Spirit is TRUELY A REFRESHING
EXPERIENCE!!!
Be refreshed this day and always....
The Lord wants to refresh you this day....
Jeremiah 31:25
I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint."

Be silent in HIS presence..

Hi..

I just heard this song "In the silence" by Jason Upton and was so...blessed..

Tired of telling you, you have me
When I know you really don't
Tired of telling you I'll follow
When I know I really won't
Cause I'd rather stand here speechless
With no great words to say
If my silence is more truthful
And my ears can hear how to walk in your way

In the silence
You are speaking
In the quiet I can feel the fire
And it's burning, burning deeply
Burning all it is that you desire to be silent, in me

Oh Jesus can you hear me?
My soul is screaming out
And my broken will cries teach me
What your Kingdom's all about
Unite my heart to fear you,
To fear you're holy name
And create a life of worship
In the spirit and truth of your loving ways

This is such a nice song..it ministers to the soul.

~PSALM 46:10 says, "Be still and know that I am God."

~ISAIAH 41:1, "Be silent before me, you islands!

let the Nations renew their strength!...."

    There are times we need to talk to God, sing praises to HIM and worship HIM but there are times we need to be silent in HIS presence.

    Sometimes we just do all the talking and don't wait to hear God. We quickly read through the BIBLE but don't really meditate on HIS WORD, so that God's Word can minister to us.

   Well our God loves to hear us talk bt HE also expects us to be quiet in HIS presence. It's then He will minister to us and our strength is renewed.

ISAIAH 40:31, " But those who hope(wait) in the Lord will renew their strength.

They will soar on wings like Eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."

   Even the strongest spiritual people get tired in this spiritual walk but God's power and strength never fails. He's never too tired or too busy to help us, listen to us and renew and revive our strength.

  Waiting on God is trusting on HIM and being still and be willing to hear HIM speak.

   Let's learn to wait and be still in God Almighty's presence. Let's honor His presence, His power and majesty!

Take out 1-3 days, fast and wait in HIS presence and find your body,soul spirit refreshed.

PROVERBS 8:34, "Blessed is the man who listens to me."

Good Night

YSIC,

Julia
