Know Him

‘These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ ” 

Matthew 15:8, 9 

I read this last night. It made me think a lot about my relationship with Him. I've encountered miraculous wonders with Him... But at times in my life, I have just simply went through the motions an my heart was not in it.

With life's noise, it's sometimes hard to hear or speak. But we can silence the noise. 

Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. James 4:7, 8 

The great thing is is that Jesus wants us despite the mess we make daily. No matter how dirty our hands our, He wants us. He just wants us to know the Truth.

Jesus,

Thank You for giving me this realization. I pray that You touch and minister to every reader right now in Jesus name. Show them Your true Love, God. I plead the blood of Jesus Christ over them and send angels of You to minister and protect them in JESUS NAME! Show us Your Love, God. And thank You. I love You. In Jesus name, amen.

Build Each Other Up

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 

Colossians 3:16 

But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen. 

Jude 1:20-25

I don't know about you, but being alone makes things harder. And when I say being alone, I mean going without fellowship. And when I say fellowship... I mean building each other up. 

I was on the phone with one of my best friends, Kayley, and she said, "We are all leaders here! We need to check on each other and build each other up." 

That's a powerful statement right there. We all need each other. A body divided against itself cannot stand.

Jesus, thank You for giving us all we need. Jesus, thank You for giving us each other! I plead the blood of JESUS CHRIST over everyone reading and their family and friends and lives in JESUS NAME! I rebuke the spirit of lust away for every home that is reading in Jesus name! I send angels to protect and minister to us all in JESUS NAME! NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST US SHALL PROSPER! Touch the baby that is ill right now, Lord. She is HEALED IN JESUS NAME! 

In Jesus name I pray, amen.

Love Blamed

God is Love. Love does not leave. People do. 

He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 

Isaiah 53:3 

Recently, I have been talking to a very good friend about God. He has told me that Love always seems to come and go as it pleases. This statement stuck in my mind. As time went on, though, I thought about it more. A realization came to me that Love is always the One being left. 

So often we have the definition of Love mixed up. The devil twists Jesus' words and makes it sound like something it's not. 

God is Love. And Love gets blamed for all the things people do. People fall. God rises them up... But only if they let Him.

There was a time in my life where I continually asked, "HELLO GOD! Where are you?!?" And the truth was that I was running away from Him yet still expecting Him to give me everything my heart desired. We want things from Him, and He is willing to give, but how is He to do so when we keep running from His hand.

Today, think on the scripture above. Jesus was rejected of man and boar every grief we have, for His Love for us. Yet we still hide our faces from Him. Love does not leave. We leave Love.

Jesus, thank You so so much for being there when no one else is. Jesus, search our hearts and take out any deceit that is hindering us from falling all the more in Love with You. We want You, we've just had our thoughts misconstrued into a mess of lies. Devil leave us in JESUS NAME! I send angels of Jesus Christ to protect and minister to all of us in JESUS NAME! FORGIVE US JESUS! THANK YOU FOR NEVER LEAVING! Please forgive us for leaving You. In Jesus name, amen.
