The Forgotten Word

Holiness. That is not a word we hear too very often these days. When we do, it seems as though it is smothered, covered or otherwise decorated with other words. So much so that by the time it (the word holiness) actually reaches our ears, our hearts, our souls, our spirits; the magnificent, simple, gut wrenching, life changing, convicting power of the word 'holiness' seems to have completely disappeared. Completely lost all of it's intended purpose.

So what IS it's intended purpose of this word?

Well, the word holiness is a 'God' word. Meaning it was established by almighty God to describe Himself. As well, to describe how his people should seek to live their daily lives.

We were created to have a relationship with our creator.

This is our sole purpose in life. From this, our relationship with our creator, does everything else derive it's commission.

Does this sound so unrealistic?

Our creator desiring to have a relationship with his creation?

Not to me.

Although there have been a great many objections that come in the way of a smooth relationship between us and our creator. All of which have stemmed from sin.

Our creator, God Almighty, in all His Holiness, made a way for us to continue having a relationship with Him, should we choose to do so. As He had originally planned since the beginning.

Through sacrificing His beloved Son Yeshua, to pay for the sin of the world and bridge the gap between us and Himself. Allowing for ALL to come back to God, our Creator and have an everlasting relationship with Him!

This is where Holiness comes in.

It is a wonder and an awe. Absolutely MIND BOGGLING to me what God has done for us!

We don't deserve it! What God has done for us. I know I wouldn't have done it. Would YOU?

Would you have given YOUR child to die a horrible death for millions of people that would end up spitting on Him and cursing Him and rejecting Him and you?

But thankfully I am not God.

I do wish to be in His presence, though and I do wish to see Him and see His Glory.

The word of God is very clear about what we need in our lives to taste of these good fruits.

Yeshua/Jesus told us in on the sermon on the mount,

"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God."

In Ezekiel God says of Himself...

"I the LORD am the Holy One in Israel."

and Apostle Peter reminds us in ch 1:16

"But just as he [God] who called you, is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written:
"Be holy, because I am holy."

The Word of God, the Holy Scripture is pack loaded full of scripture after scripture of exhortation and encouragement, ways that you and I as believers can come before our Lord and "taste" of His Holiness. "taste" of His glory!

Do we wonder why our time with God is dry -un-moving, seemingly even, un-glorious?
Why we only seem to experience times of God's powerful anointing in corporate praise and prayer sessions? And not in our personal prayer closets?
Perhaps it's time to look deep inside our hearts.

If this is you - I encourage you to take time out of your busy day, to just sit and listen to your heart.
Ask the LORD to speak.
"Lord, speak, for your servant is listening."

You are all wonderful and I love you tons!

Alone with God

Alone with God
Quaking, shaking, crying
On my face
Holy, holy, holy

Nothing else
Only holy, only holy
Nothing else
Only holy, only holy

Sudden hush of glory
Peace, quiet, stillness,
On my face
Holy, holy, holy

Nothing else
Only holy, only holy
Nothing else
Only holy, only holy

Voice of God speaks
Small, quiet, mighty
Enters my soul
Heals, delivers, instructs

Heaven comes down
Humbled, thankful, jubilant
Angelic voices singing
Holy, holy, holy

Nothing else
Only holy, only holy
Nothing else
Only holy, only holy

I join in
On my face
Sing
Holy, holy, holy

Nothing else
Only holy, only holy
Nothing else
Only holy, only holy

Alone with God

Lost in Him

Something I realized today...

The more lost I get get in Him the less I find myself realizing that I am in another place ~ a distant place ~ a place many don't understand ~ some find odd ~ and some altogether completely avoid.

Still....I find it doesn't seem to matter to me that I find myself in this place, often times alone...with only my Lord by my side. I am completely satisfied....at peace....happy.

God Loves You With an Everlasting Love 🦋

God loves you with an everlasting love.

WHY?

Because HE is eternal.
HE is the Alpha and Omega. The beginning and the end.
HE is ETERNAL. God knows no other way to love but eternally.

God loves you unconditionally and completely and will stop at nothing to make sure you understand this truth.

WHY?

Because He already has already given His best for you. He can give you no less.

God has given His very best, His very own beloved son, as a sacrifice to atone for the sin of ALL humanity. The first human to the last.

WHY? Because ........

YOU are beautiful to God.

You ARE beautiful to God.

You are BEAUTIFUL to GOD.

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL TO GOD.

God, the creator of the universe......the stars the moon and beyond....all the beauty that there is ....all the GOOD there is and was and ever will be....HE longs to know you....He longs to talk with you.......and share with you HIS love.....HIS peace...."pure" love and a peace that the world does not understand and a peace the world can not give nor can it take away, with YOU!

Satan....the deceiver....has lied to you. He has brought you great grief in your life. Fear has filled your heart....gripped your soul and you have believed all that he has told you.....that it is too late to find peace of mind and that God would have nothing more to do with you.

This is NOT TRUE!

****From Heaven a cry comes forth****
“I am God...and I love you! I sent MY only begotten Son, Yeshua into the world to be a sacrifice, once for all. To bring life where there was death! For all who believed in Him for the forgiveness of their sin.”

All you need to do is believe!

Believe! Receive!

God loves you. ❤️
Come to Him and live! 🦋

A Pro Life Poem For Dad's

In a time when mothers are fighting for the "right" to murder their babies. Their own flesh and blood.

I thought I would post this poem I wrote YEARS ago for a
Crisis Pregnancy Center on Father's Day.

Thank You Daddy

Thank you Daddy for letting me live, for letting me learn to smile and give. Thank you Daddy for not taking from me, the chance for life and liberty.

I know it was hard, but Daddy you’ll see, that when I grow up you’ll be proud of me, ‘Cause I’ll be like you and Mommy too. I’ve got the spirit of life to see me through.

I used to hear Mommy and feel her tears. She would cry so hard and tremble with fear; as you would speak of “what was best”. Defending your life; defending my death. I tried so hard. My mouth opened wide. But there was no sound as I cried and cried. ”Mommy!…Daddy!…Pleasssse listen to me. I’m alive and living! Don’t kill me!”

I didn’t give up because you couldn’t hear me. Instead I asked God to make you see; that my life was precious in His sight. That if I were born things would be alright.

Then in sudden sweet surprise, I felt a spirit of peace arise. I could hear Mommy’s voice.

She was talking to me. Laughing and crying, joyously. “My baby! My baby!” I heard her say,

“Your Daddy says that you can stay!”

Oh thank you Daddy for letting me live! For letting me learn to smile and give.

Thank you Daddy for giving to me, my chance for life and liberty!
