The Fire Within

Have you ever..........?

Do you ever just....stop.....and listen to the world around you?

Do you ever just pick something from the world around you and focus on that one thing and just wonder how it came to be?

Do you ever sneak out sit in the quiet of the night when everyone else is asleep and just sit quietly by yourself, waiting not saying a word...no music...no prayers...just quiet....waiting on God?

I have.

It is amazing.

I have been doing it allot lately. I mean I have always done it, through out my life time, but here lately, I have been doing it even more so. As I go through my day at work for no apparent reason I will just stop what I am doing and .....listen...to what is going on around me. I mean intently listen.

It is as if I have become acutely aware of people and things around me in a whole new way.

And my life?

That as well has become less important in a odd type of way. One I can't rightly

explain. I am more and more aware of my need to invest my time and effort into things that will benefit me eternally, myself as well as others.
Every waking moment....literally...I am thinking about the next moment I will have free to meet with the Master....and ultimately...the day He will return to earth as King....or if it be his will I should meet him first in Heaven.

I am so in love with Yeshua.

Heaven Awaits

By: Amy Colleen

Warm, Soft, Strong;

His arms hold me close.

Tenderness, Peace, Love;

He speaks with his eyes.

Together in silence;

Face to face at last.

Tears of joy shed together;

No memory of my past.

A love to die for;

A death to live for;

The two become one.

My Lord and me;

Heaven Awaits

The Man Whose Never Been

THE MAN WHO'S NEVER BEEN

People wonder what's come over me.
The change they can't seem to see.
Belongs to the love of my life.
The man ~ who gave his life for me.

They make statements, causing such a fuss.
They say, "This man is nothing more than dust."
They say I'm living fantasy with a man who's never been.
With a laugh they ask me, time and time again,
"How can a man give his life, and yet you say he lives within?"

***
“Father, why can't they see? Father, what's come over me?
The beauty of your love ~ The grace that flows from your son.
And me ~
You have chosen me ~ to be your bride to be ~
For all eternity ~ for all the world to see ~ for all the world to see.
Father, why can't they see?
Father, how very real you are to me?”

“Some day, before too long, cause them to see they're wrong.
Stir them, before it's too late.
Father, save them from their horror filled fate.
Father, why can't they see?
Father, why won't they see?”
***

People may wonder what's come over me.
Soon, very soon all the world will see.
That this change is for real ~
That the love that I feel ~ has a purpose,
Has a meaning,
Has a man, who is real, a man who can feel,
He gave his life ~ for me.

SONshine in the DUMP!

You May Not Think You Belong Where God Has You...

.BUT..

Even Jesus Ate With Sinners and Tax Collectors!

(Matthew 9:10-12)

Soooooooo I say......Let us not despise our calling....for we know not what the Lord has in mind!

Paul writes in Romans 11:34, quoting from Isaiah 40:13

"Who has known the mind of the Lord?
Or who has been his counselor?"
35"Who has ever given to God,
that God should repay him?"
36For from him and through him and to him are all things.
To him be the glory forever! Amen."

So, ONCE AGAIN I ENCOURAGE EACH OF US

to "spread a little SONshine"

AND GROW WHERE GOD PLANTS US!

Even if it means stepping out of our comfort zone and living a stinky life for a while!

Remember ~ It's all for King Jesus!

Matthew 25:40 "The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me."

Even if it may seem like a GARBAGE DUMP!!!!!

Why Can't it just BE this Way?

ONE Body ONE Spirit

During my prayer time with the Lord the Lord asked me,

“Amy, what would happen if you took a building and removed all of its walls?

Both from the interior and exterior part of the building; what would be left of the building?”

I said,

“Just the foundation, Lord.”

He answered back…..”Exactly.”

At that, I sat with my eyes closed....and prayed a while; pondering what the Lord might be trying to tell me.

That's when I had this vision.

In the vision I was with the Lord and He pointed to a great many buildings ….different types of buildings….then the Lord said ,

“This is my church, my Body “ He went on to say, “My church has become dysfunctional because of these walls you see. This is not my doing. In my eyes there is one body, one spirit…….”

Then I saw all the walls fall to the ground …all at once.

(The exterior walls of the buildings as well as all the interior walls of every building)

There were no more barriers between any of the people, churches….nothing to separate the people….There were just masses of people…..it was beautiful...unexplainably beautiful....like nothing I have ever seen before.

Simultaneously as the walls fell, the churches and people came together as one; and at that exact same time the Lord said,

“In my eyes there is ONE body, ONE Spirit…”

**********************************************************************************************

Why is is this such a hard task to accomplish for us?

This is not the first vision I have had relating to this subject.

It seems we like to "hide away" in our "comfort zones". Where ever they may be.

Well, I am here to tell ya to get ready 'cause there is gonna be a whole lot a' shakin' going around!

What will be shaken ...will be shaken.....and what will be left standing will be ...and what won't be won't!

It is time to wake up O' sleeper.....grab hold of the promises of the Lord and head out into the world around you and spread the good news that the Messiah is on His way back!

Let's not get caught up in the inconsequential religious duties but rather pursues the the matters of eternal life and Gods kingdom. That He may be glorified and souls may be won and names written in the Lambs book of life!

One of my favorite sayings is that "God created diversity......He did NOT create division."

I truly believe often times we get the two of those "D" words mixed up!

Glory to the King!

Shalom in Yeshua HaMashiach
