Faith expresses itself in Love

When I am drawn to prayer over my church is something that the Spirit brings me too.. The gift of intercession is sooooo needed in every church.. God knows just what your church needs.. Dont ever stop or hinder prayer from your people..

All my intercessors read Galatians 5 and pray that over your church! All my brothers and sisters pray this over our church!! Freedom purchased by His Love!! Paid for by His death.. Raised In His Resurrection!

That the faith we have expresses itself in love.. That our church is just overflowing with love.. God says that Love never fails.. It is the greatest gift.. It is what shows the world that we belong to God.. It strengthens the church..Its brings freedom. It unites.. It is so important, this is why it is the all the commandments summed up in one, commanded by Jesus! To love each other, and Love God, with everything... With every part of yourself, especially with your faith! It brings freedom to not only the the born again, but the soon-to-be born again.. If only the body of Christ asked for love instead of behavior change from each other, the world would be on fire by now!! ‪#‎SeekTheGiftOfLove‬

His Promise of His Presence!

Seems like there is a this magnitude of suffering going on lately. Yesterday when I was reading about the Egyptians Christians who were murdered I just am filled with sadness! Then today I wake up with multitudes of prayer requests sent to my email and I'm am saddened. So much so that I cant help by cry for those who are suffering in the way they are.. I read that one of they Egyptians cried out for Jesus before he was murdered, and the tears just started to flow.. They are so many people crying out for Jesus right now.. I sit here and beg God for His Spirit to manifest in this town! In this world.. I pray to His Spirit to manifest Himself in all of us.. Not for an abundance of gifts, but for His overflowing Presence! His Presence is where you find healing, where you find comfort, where you find joy, where you find gifts, where you encounter His pure and perfect love. Its where you find Him. If we could all just get on the same page regardless of beliefs on His Spirit.. If we could just get on the same page to see His Presence manifest in the places where we live.. If we could, I can already envision my town so full of His healing, so full of His love, so full of His power, so full of His hope!

That is one promise you can count on,, no matter how sick you are, no matter if you are on deaths door, no matter how broken heartened you are,,... His presence is there.. Its in you! Its in us!! We need to cry out for more.. We need to recognize Him more..

"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. "

When we turn Gods blessing into a curse!

When we turn Gods blessing into a curse!

Wow.. I have been pondering this word God gave me a week ago.. I was reading how God made the Egyptians look favorably on the Israelites.. He said "But every woman shall ask of her neighbor and the woman who lives in her house, articles of silver and ARTICLES OF GOLD, and clothing; and YOU WILL PUT THEM ON YOUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS. Thus you will plunder the Egyptians.".

God blessed them! He not only rescued them and delivered them, but sent them off better then they came in... But..

Mose's absent from them was too much for them to handle, Moses was keeping them straight.. But we are just the same! When we don't "see" God working, or "feel" God working in our life, we start to turn away.. We say, Where is this Jesus that is supposed to be saving me..We say where is this God that delivered me supposedly? And then we create a new god. An Idol.. We create an object of freedom or deliverance,and its usually ourselves or someone else.. We say, we freed ourselves!

Then we take the very same blessing God gave us and we turn it into a curse..

"Come, make us a god who will go before us; as for this Moses, the man who brought us up from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him."Aaron said to them, "TEAR OFF THE GOLD RINGS WHICH ARE IN THE EARS OF YOUR WIVES, YOUR SONS, AND YOUR DAUGHTERS and bring them to me." Then all the people tore off the gold rings which were in their ears and brought them to Aaron"..

Not only do we curse ourselves but we put that curse on the people that we want to bless.. The children of the Israelites never got to experience the next blessing, the Promise land! The children who came out of Egypt who's parents put the articles of gold on, who wondered the wilderness were far beyond the age of 20 after 40 years of traveling....

But God is still faithful! Even with our unfaithfulness. He still blesses us.. He still pours our His grace and favor! He still kept His promise of the Promise land.. The children of the cursed would now find blessing..

He blesses the cursed, even when we curse the blessing..
