FAITH SPEAKS

I know that some of us are going through some financial strains right now by loosing our jobs, but you know what?? God is still God and he is STILL on the throne looking out for us and providing for us!! :)
Don't get down hearted! This is a time to rejoice in the blessings that He is about to provide! Here are some scriptures that were given to me! KNOW that he will not close a door without opening another!

FOR THE LORD BLESSES ME AND SURROUNDS ME WITH HIS FAVOR AS WITH A SHIELD. HE KEEPS ME IN PERFECT PEACE BECAUSE MY MIND IS STEADFASTLY ON HIM. BECAUSE I TRUST IN HIM, NO GOOD THING DOES HE WITHHOLD FROM ME.
Psalms 5:12, Isaiah 26:3, Psalm 46:1-3

GOD IS MY REFUGE AND STRENGTH, A VERY PRESENT AND WELL-PROVED HELP IN TROUBLE...I WILL NOT FEAR!
Psalm 46:1-3

MY GOD WILL LIBERALLY SUPPLY (FILL TO THE FULL) MY EVERY NEED ACCORDING TO HIS RICHES IN GLORY IN CHRIST JESUS. THOSE WHO SEEK THE LORD SHALL NOT LACK ANY GOOD THING.
Philippians 4:19, Psalm 34:10

Happy job hunting!! I have NO DOUBT that God is going to bless us unbelievably!!!
With much love!!

Through our own desert praise him

You know, there are times in our lives where we feel dry...our prayers seem to be
hitting the ceiling and falling back down on our heads. We get caught up in our own
pain, our own struggles. Even through our trails, we are to worship God...our creator, our Father. Sing to him when we don't feel like it! Praise God while we walk through our own desert...you will get through it!
This song has touched my life:

Hillsong
This Is Our God


DESERT SONG

VERSE 1:
THIS IS MY PRAYER IN THE DESERT
WHEN ALL THAT'S WITHIN ME FEELS DRY
THIS IS MY PRAYER IN MY HUNGER AND NEED
MY GOD IS THE GOD WHO PROVIDES

VERSE 2:
THIS IS MY PRAYER IN THE FIRE
IN WEAKNESS OR TRIAL OR PAIN
THERE IS A FAITH PROVED OF MORE WORTH THEN GOLD
SO REFINE ME LORD THROUGH THE FLAME

CHORUS:
I WILL BRING PRAISE, I WILL BRING PRAISE
NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST ME SHALL REMAIN
I WILL REJOICE, I WILL DECLARE
GOD IS MY VICTORY AND HE IS HERE

VERSE 3:
THIS IS MY PRAYER IN THE
BATTLE
WHEN TRIUMPH IS STILL ON HIS WAY
I AM A CONQUEROR AND CO-HEIR WITH CHRIST
SO FIRM ON HIS PROMISE I'LL STAND



BRIDGE:
ALL OF MY LIFE IN EVERY SEASON
YOU ARE STILL GOD
I HAVE A REASON TO SING
I HAVE A REASON TO WORSHIP



VERSE 4:
THIS IS MY PRAYER IN THE HARVEST
WHEN FAVOR AND
PROVIDENCE FLOW
I KNOW I'M FILLED TO BE EMPTIED AGAIN
THE SEED I'VE RECEIVED I WILL SOW

Open Hands

'To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.'

When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better.

Concentrate on this sentence... 'The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you..'

Be careful what you ask for!

Well, yesterday I found out that my job is going away! It is a commission based job and I haven't made much in the past 2 months anyway. At first I was worried and not sure what to do, but now I have a peace! I know that I've been praying that God would place me where ever I am supposed to be! If this isn't the place to close the door and open wide the door that I am to walk through...a week later, I'm told that this position is going away! Hm! Imagine that! lol
Now I am thankful and KNOW that I am about to be blessed beyond belief!
My thought for the day is: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ASK FOR IF YOU AREN'T READY TO RECEIVE IT! :p

Time to Dance!

This is an email that I sent out of what God is speaking to me! I wanted to share this with you! Be encouraged and know that God is wanting all of you, not just on Sunday.

I tell you, my heart is really longing for something more! Yesterday really started stirring me up! Then what you told me was right on, Michael! It was what he was telling me and I needed to hear it again from you!
God is dealing with me big time today about the time that I had with him years ago. He is supposed to be not only my father, but my husband. My relationship should be so close. I've known him most of my life and I spend as little time with him as possible these past years. I should know him so much better! My heart is aching right this very moment. There was a time in my life that I did nothing without talking to him about it first. I want the tiny flickering flame that shines out of me to become an incredible bonfire overwhelming all who see me!
I need HIM more than anyone or anything in this life! My heart cries out to know more of him...to be intimate with him beyond all reason! I just don't know what he is doing to me today, but it's something big. I love you and wanted you to know! I'm excited about the work he is doing inside me.....just the relationship that he wants to have with me is amazing and that is enough for me...I'll do whatever he wants just to be in harmony with him and others being able to see his light....drawing them to him like a moth to a flame!
It's almost scary...this feeling I have. I've been on the brink of tears all day! I need to be closer than ever before. He's calling me. He's telling me to come and experience him like never before! I feel the pull like a magnet and he is speaking to my heart telling me that it's time...the time is of the essence! Come, my daughter, come to me and I will show you things you have never thought possible...a life you only dreamed of! Tonight will be a night that I am on my knees and down on my face seeking him! Be blessed and know that he is so good to us and wants us to know him deeper than we've ever known him!
I am trying so hard NOT to cry sitting here at my desk! It's like...I just NEED to get home so I can cry out to him! lol...(stiffling tears is giving me acid reflux!)
I felt like he said to me to stop standing dormant....it's time to come back home. It's time to really do my will. I have so much to give you, but you beat yourself up standing in your past! The shackles have been removed from your ankles, girl! DANCE.
Rejoice in me! It's a new life I have for you! REJOICE, my daughter, rejoice! For I have made you new....shine this light that I have put inside you! The lost need to see what I can do within them! Now is the time to dance!

History In The Making

Today the world is saying that today is history in the making! The most important day the United States and the world has seen! Barack Hussein Obama...president!
I have to admit, I did not vote for him...but I DO pray that this is true! I know that God is still in control and he can lead this man! Let's all pray for our new president. Pray that God will direct him and that our country will turn around for the good and not the distruction of America! May God's face shine upon him and may he seek God's face for the very important job he has set before him.
Pray for our president and for our country!
