Why I need to worship God
September 20, 2013
God, Holy Spirit, Jesus, Prayer 3 Comments
Psalms 95:6 Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker;
Worshipping God is for me. It keeps me knowing that God is taking care of me. God doesn’t need my worship…I need to worship you God for my sake. Worship keeps my mind in the right place which is in you. You God are the I Am and you are securing in who you are. You don’t need anything from anybody.
I need to worship you more than I can understand. Worship is a very important part of who I am as your child. I need to really get into honest and truthful worship from my heart and soul. I need to develop in me pure worship from my sanctified spirit if I am to grow and mature as your child.
I must make worship a priority in my life!
I must also remember that my very life is worship to you. I need to devote more of me to you and less of me to this world. This is true worship from me to you. No one else can do this for me. There are no short cuts. I must listen to the Holy Spirit and let Him lead me in the best way for me to worship you.
As the days here on earth are getting more trying everyday…I need to worship you more than I ever did before. I need the assurance that worshipping you brings to my soul. I need to also draw people to Jesus through me…my life and this can be enhanced by my worshipping of you.
“I worship you my God… I worship you!”
John 4:23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.
God has NO birthdate!

God, Holy Spirit, Jesus, Prayer Isaiah 43:10 6 Comments
Isaiah 43:10
“You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord,
“and my servant whom I have chosen,
so that you may know and believe me
and understand that I am he.
Before me no god was formed,
nor will there be one after me.
God has no birthdate!!
He is the supreme being over all other beings!
He is set apart over every living being.
He alone is worthy of our praise and adoration.
God has no birthdate.
Don’t try to figure this out.
Don’t doubt it.
Just know that this incredible supreme being is….
your Father!
No need to ever sing Happy Birthday to Him but…
you can sing His praises.
This is my meditation for today….just saying.
God speaks… I share with you this

God, Holy Spirit, Jesus, Prayer Psalms 51:7, purification 12 Comments
Psalms 51:7 Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
God spoke to me very clearly and I feel lead to share this with you today……
God told me to make sure I’m clean inside. Jesus made this possible. I need Jesus to wash me. I had to search myself and see if there were things in me not pleasing to God and ask Jesus to forgive me. I looked around in my mind and heart to see if I had a bad attitude towards someone. I asked the Holy Spirit to reveal anything in me not pleasing to my God.
GOD IS HOLY! I’m learning more and more about His Holiness and why I needed a Savior and why I need to live a holy life. My Father the creator is HOLY and He HATES SIN! I don’t want to be dirty spiritually. Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
Wash me Lord! Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. In Jesus name.
Thank you Jesus!
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
(Hyssop is a Biblical plant whose twigs were used in ceremonial sprinkling for purification.)
(Purification is the process of removing impurities. The act of purging of sin or guilt; moral or spiritual cleansing; “purification through repentance”)
The Holy Spirit will help you with this and Jesus will wash you when you sincerely come to Him with a repentant heart and ask in His name to be forgiven and cleaned.
Who are the true worshippers?

God, Holy Spirit, Jesus, Prayer John 4:22 5 Comments
John 4:22 But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him.
You cannot really understand worship unless you understand the Holiness of God.
His Holiness is what makes you worship God……for real. Just speaking words of worship from your lips is OK but saying it from your heart and mind is worshiping God in the spirit. The reason God inhabits our praise is because we understand His holiness and this ignites our relationship with Him by the power of His Holy Spirit who is already in us. The more we understand who God is… the deeper in the Spirit we can go and the more interaction we will have with God in our prayer time.
If you believe or act as if God is unapproachable then your relationship will reflect that.
The deeper that your comprehension is of the Holiness of God… the deeper your worship will be!
I personally need a very close relationship with God because I have emotional needs and I have a lot of trials that I go on in my life daily. I need someone who can meet all my needs. I have that in God the Father God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
When I worship God it’s because I:
- Understand His Holiness!
- I know who He is.
- I’m deeply grateful for His love for me.
- I remember how much He has done for me.
- I’m in awe of Him!
God calls those who worship Him in spirit and truth….true worshippers.
Spirit worshipping is- When you worship God in the spirit…that is your spirit in your human body and His spirit in your human body connecting.
Truth worshipping is- What you know about what the bible says about God and the Spirit of God in you confirming that word and you believe it.
So whether you are in church or at home…really get into worshipping God. If you’ve never done it before…it’s never too late to start.
John 4:22 But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him.
Did You Get The Memo?
August 27, 2013
God, Holy Spirit, Jesus, Prayer Follow the bible, Live according to Gods word, live right, psalms 119, Stand up for what is right 4 Comments
Psalms 119: 1-8
Blessed are those whose ways are blameless,
who walk according to the law of the Lord.
2 Blessed are those who keep his statutes
and seek him with all their heart—
3 they do no wrong
but follow his ways.
4 You have laid down precepts
that are to be fully obeyed.
5 Oh, that my ways were steadfast
in obeying your decrees!
6 Then I would not be put to shame
when I consider all your commands.
7 I will praise you with an upright heart
as I learn your righteous laws.
8 I will obey your decrees;
do not utterly forsake me.
I was talking to my husband about the condition of our country and they way things are heading. Even some of Gods people are acting like the world in their speech, attire and behavior. I told my husband that the bible is clear about how we should conduct our lives. I said to him…”didn’t they get the memo?” God’s word…the Holy Bible is very clear on how we are to live our lives…what we should do and what we should not do….how we are to behave and what God expects of us.
Just because things are more acceptable now doesn’t mean that we can go along with it. God expects us to follow the principles HE set up in His word and He gave us the Holy Spirit to instruct us and guide us into the truth of His word. If we didn’t get the memo on how to live…then we didn’t read the memos. The bible is filled with memos. Memo is short for memorandum which means a communication that contains directive, advisory, or informative matter. It is notes or records made for future use.
We all did get the memo…but it’s up to each one of us to follow each and everything God told us to do and to obey. Will we always get everything right? No…we are human…but if we follow the Holy Spirits lead…we can and will be able to submit to the will of God and be obedient. Even when we fall short…because of Jesus Christ…we can be forgiven. The memo is down here on earth for all to read and follow. Did we get the memo and put it in a draw and forgot about it? This is why we need to daily check it out. We need to read and study the memos so that we can…walk our walk in Christ. Hide these memos in your heart and mind so that when you are living your life…you can remember those memos and …do the right thing. Did you get the ….memo?
God of the parking spaces
August 23, 2013
God, Holy Spirit, Jesus, Prayer 24 Comments
Yes He can…and yes He did do this for me.
My God and I have a very close relationship. We talk on and off all day every day. I have a physical handicap and a lot of walking is a problem for me. I depend of Him for everything even parking spaces. I try to only ask Him when I’m doing His stuff or when I really don’t feel good. I’m so amazed when a spot opens up and this doesn’t happen sometime…it happens all the time. Now you may say that’s ridiculous to ask God for a parking space when there are so many other pressing things to pray about. I tell you my Father God is concerned about everything about me.
I pray in my prayer closet….but I pray or just talk to God casually too. HE is my very best friend. I talk to Him about all my personal stuff. He is in all my business!! I want Him there….I need Him there! I don’t consider God my buddy. I never see Him like that. There is a difference in how I look upon Him. I see Him as my Triune God Almighty, Holy God. He is ruler and has authority over everything. I see Him as pure love that covers me and makes me feel safe and secure.
I FEAR Him….I respect Him and most of all I worship Him. I have a very personal relationship with all three of His separate entities within Him…but I know He is my ONE God. Jesus reveals my God to me. Jesus has done so much so that I could be a friend of God and not only His friend but His child. The Holy Spirit has kept me on track in keeping me clean inside through Jesus so I can approach my Father and He keeps my open back and forth communication with God going. God is Holy so I need to keep striving for that so I can come boldly into His throne room.
The Holy Spirit guides me into truth which I need to constantly talk with my God. And when I’m upset or need His help supernaturally…the Holy Spirit is right there to comfort me….always. God the Father God the Son and God the Holy Spirit…I have unique relations with them as they interact with me…but the big picture is God. When I pray I mostly talk to God and address Him as God. But in my heart I know that I’m dealing with all three. I told God that it’s confusing sometimes when I first started praying after becoming a committed Christian in 1984, so to make it easier for me that I would address Him as God when I pray even though I know there is 3 of Him in one. I always ask everything in Jesus Name because that’s what the bible says to do. I call out to Jesus when I pray also. I ask the Holy Spirit to help me as He is the one who guides and instructs me.
So to summarize my thoughts…My God is the God of parking spaces and so much more to me. I feel comfortable with Him and include Him in my daily things. I talk out loud to him (with no one around of course) and I talk to Him in my mind. God can read minds! So it doesn’t matter how you talk to Him just talk. He set up this relationship with us for 24/7 contact. You know you can go on Facebook all day and night and chat with someone. Well you can do that with God too….but you don’t have to type…just think your thoughts…how cool is that?
Please try to get in touch with Him now…so that when you do get in a bind He’s right there for you. If you have a dirty heart…unrepented sin in your life….well you have a problem. God is Holy and HE cannot look upon ungodliness so your answered prayer or needed help…just ain’t gonna happen. But thanks to Jesus Christ and your sincere repentance…you can reestablish you connection with God and get the help you need from our Father. Now He may not do the parking space thing for you or He may that’s up to Him…but I KNOW He will be there when you need Him!! Pray in His will and know what the bible says so you will know what His will is. Happy Parking!
Even the Little cares. It tells Him you want Him in every area of your life big or small. It Helps you to establish an ongoing dialogue with Him.
When I see you Jesus…

God, Holy Spirit, Jesus, Prayer 1 Corinthians 11:23-26, Celebrate Christ 7 Comments
When I see you Jesus….I’m going to really understand why you did this for me…but until then…I want to say….Thank you so so much from deep in my heart!
1 Corinthians 11:23-26 23For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, 24and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.”25In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
I was thinking about Jesus Christ and the sacrifice He made for me. We all celebrate this on Easter…we all celebrate it with communion and we are all always saying…”thank you Jesus”. I was thinking that when I get to heaven and I have complete knowledge of what He really did and how much of a sacrifice it was…I will be truly overcome with emotion. If I knew and truly understood that now…I think I would pass out from shock to my mortal mind.
But thank God that we see through a dark glass now. How could we survive the full brunt of what Jesus did and who God really is? How could we deal with how much God loves us? God has told us these things in His word and we read it and the Holy Spirit gives us understanding and confirmation in our spirit…but when we get to heaven we will perfectly understand the whole big picture. We will be so grateful to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ that when He presents us to God and we see His face…oh the joy, happiness and complete perfect adoration of God the Father that will be in us.
I live in such expectancy everyday! I’m so excited that God is my Father. I’m so grateful to Jesus for the awesome thing He did for me on the cross!!! I personally have bought the refilled disposable communion bread and wine cups from Amazon.com and I take communion by myself at home. I thank Jesus in my own way and I think about what He did for me. I meditate on this for a long time and then I eat and drink my remembrance. I never want to forget! I’m eternally grateful. For me…everyday is…Easter! There is so much more behind what Jesus did for us… but because the full impact is veiled from us right now on earth… I will do my personal best to:
- Read the biblical account of His death and resurrection often.
- Pray and ask for forgiveness for any sin I commit. (Hey… I ain’t perfect yet!)
- Live a life of service as my worship to Jesus and for all that He’s done for me.
- Celebrate communion in memory of His sacrifice.
- Share what I know about Him with others so they will have a reason to thank Him too.
- Remember that because of the cross I have:
- Eternal life
- The Holy Spirit in me
- Hope and help in all times of trouble
- Forgiveness
- A permanent relationship with God w/original sin removed
- Unconditional love
- A personal intercessor to God on my behalf
- A friend
- A new home(heaven)
- Thankfulness to Jesus for everything He’s done for me for the rest of my life!
There is so much more behind what Jesus did for me…and like I said…I was thinking about the day when I fully understand this when I get to heaven. Right now I can look at Jesus in my mind and heart….He was a human so I have some idea what He looked like….and I look in His eyes and try to say thank to Him….but only tears flow from my eyes because my heart can’t express how grateful I am in adequate words. So I’ll keep taking communion and thanking Him. That’s all I have to give right now! But… “ONE DAY”… Oh what a day that will be! When I see Jesus!!!!
I’m gonna thank Him like I never thanked Him before!!

OH MY GOD!!!! Worshipping Him!
August 14, 2013
God, Holy Spirit, Jesus, Prayer Oh my God, Romans 12:1-2, worship 4 Comments
I just finished praying and I have something to say…..”WORSHIP GOD”! Ever since I did all those blogs on the Holiness of God a few months ago I have seen my God in a different light. Oh my God!!! I just want to worship Him!
While I was praying a short time ago in my prayer closet I saw God on His thrown. I could not see Him only the light from Him. In my heart and mind I got a chair and sat in front of the thrown in a chair and I told God I want to just sit there and see my Father in all of His glory. I just wanted to sit there and see how beautiful He is and look and experience His holiness and splendor. I sat there thinking…”I can’t believe this supernatural being and most powerful God is my Father”. I wanted to sit there and take it all in.
I am so excited in my spirit about seeing Him soon. Every day I live… is a day closer to being with Him. I don’t know if I could have survived in the Old Testament and have to live to 200-800 years old. I could never wait that long to see my God!!
I want to say to everyone today….worship God in whatever way that fits you and your relationship with God. Our whole life should be lived to honor God. Our worship is gratitude for everything He has done for us.
I love God so so much! I want my life and everything I say and do to point others to Jesus Christ and I want my walk with God to push people into worshiping God to the fullest extent! I’m nobody special to any of you…but I want you to be close to God …that’s why I share my very personal and private prayer things with you so that you can know that intimacy with God is available for you also.
And what will you gain from this? You will know and feel the power of Almighty God and you will have strength and hope to endure until the end. Life is hard for everyone these days and the more of God in our daily lives… the more strength we will have. We will be like an eagle soaring over life challenges. We will have eternal hope. We will draw God very close to us because we worship Him so.
Worship…..worship….worship our God….24/7
Romans 12:1-2 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Matthew 24:37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’
