Revelation 21:4 No more sadness ever!

6 Comments

No more pain…No more tears… because God will take ALL this away. There will NEVER be anymore suffering for Gods children!!

This past Sunday I sang a solo in church and was hoping to have a video of it but I forgot to charge my cameras batteries.  I’m going to post David Phelps version which inspired me to sing this song.  This song really made me cry and study Revelation 21 &22.  These scriptures have given me renewed strength in my present suffering and struggles.

I gave out to each person in the congregation a keepsake of this song and in it I wrote the words below:

There is a big connection for us to our God because of Jesus dying on the cross and His suffering.  This sacrificial act helps us to feel that God knows what we’re going through in our difficulties and we feel closer to Him because of this.  This makes our relationship with Him very intimate (marked by a very close personal association).   He is an intimate God and we His creations need to feel this special bond with Him.   In  Revelation 21:4 it says “He will wipe away our tears”…how sensual is that?  He Himself will be with us!  His name will be on our foreheads!  I will be His…forever!  The most personal thing I will experience with Him is I will see His face…I will see the love of my life. Every need we have ever needed to be accepted and to be loved will be met by looking at God face to face. 

    I’ll see pure love looking back at me and I’ll experience the greatest form of love that I could ever imagine! We have experienced the Holy Spirit in our life because He came to live inside of us upon our salvation experience, but we will experience God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit all at the same time and live with them forever!!  Wow!  So when this life seems to be too much for me….I’ll read this note I wrote and I’ll rejoice in all I have to look forward to and this will keep me refreshed and motivated to run my race and endure in my suffering! 

I’m posting this because I pray that it will encourage others to hold on through all the difficulties that this life can bring because God has promised His children this:

Revelation 21:1-4

1Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

I’ve had many of these special moments and it’s good to reflect on God’s lessons and blessings.

A Message in my music

The Holy Spirit revealed Himself to me when I sang in church today.  I had to try not to cry through the rest of the service.  I’ve never felt Him in this unique way.  I’ve felt Him many time while singing before…but this time it was very different.  You have to watch the video to see what I felt.

 

Here is a VERY good teaching on the Holy Spirit….    http://media.sermonindex.net/9/SID9785.mp3

Your 31,536,000 seconds

There are 31,536,000 seconds in a typical year and God is watching over me every one of those 31,536,000 seconds!  I am so covered by my father and this makes me feel so secure.

Hebrews 13:5 …….”Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”

We are NEVER alone!!!!!

1 Corinthians 3:16 Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?

God watches over His interest!!!

Psalms 23: 1 The LORD is my shepherd; I have all that I need.

Ezekiel 34:11 “‘For this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I myself will search for my sheep and look after them.

Thank you God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit!!!

9/11 Prayer and Reflection

Tuesday, September 11, 2001 at 8:46 in the morning began an attack on Americans that lead to mass destruction and a huge loss of life.  Many committed to never forgetting and this country and its citizens have not forgotten.  Our family loss a very close friend, in fact he was a hero who went back to help others.  This senseless killing still hurts after all these years.  I watched a movie the other day and the twin towers were in the movie.  I put the TV on pause for a few minutes to look at the towers and just to ponder the loss. 

It’s hard to move on when we know the attackers still want to do us harm.  The only way that I’ve have been able to deal with this is by remembering to forgive my enemies and reminding myself this battle is the Lords.  I thank God for keeping us safe from any major USA attacks since 9/11 and I pray for our precious United States Armed forces who are still out defending our country.  I also pray for our homeland security, all police departments, secrect service and any special forces who protect us everyday.

So where do we go from here in these years to follow?  Well… we know that we’ll never forget and we should continue to seek the Lord for sustaining strength, comfort and protection.

We need to do 3 things:

  1. Pray for everyone
  2. Forgive everyone
  3. Love everyone

Dear Heavenly Father,

I would like to ask you first to help anyone who is still grieving from the loss of a loved one on 9/11.  Please help all those who are still suffering from the loss of a loved one because of illness connected to 9/11.  Please continue to heal those who were injured on that day.  Please help those people who were affected emotionally and those who are still trying to put back the pieces of their lives.

Bless all the children who lost a parent and all the parents who lost a child.  Help those who are still very angry and mad at you.

Lord please continued to watch over our country and keep us safe.  I ask these things in Jesus name…Amen.

Massage for today: GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

Keep your eyes on me…I love you…I will give you peace. I WILL help you!! Keep your mind on me and…trust me!

Last week I went through a difficult situation that is still ongoing.  It’s very hard to get through ongoing difficult trials….but I have a secret for getting through them.  You can apply this to ANY situation you may go through!!  Here it is….. LOOK AT JESUS!!!, put your eyes and your thoughts on Jesus, look at His face, let His name fill your mind and when you do this God is faithful to fill your mind with peace!  I did this and I’m doing this and I tell you….it works!  You have to do this yourself…you have to reach out to the Lord and focus on Him.  My situation is still ongoing… but I have peace.  As soon as I look at my situation… the situation becomes scary and fear can creep in.

Here is a scripture that God gave us to help us:  Isaiah 26:3 You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!  Get this scripture in your spirit and memorize it!  Study all of God’s word because this is how you can be sure of what God can and will do for you!

This same thing happened to one of the greatest evangelist and his name was Peter.  Jesus taught him a very great lesson in Mathew 14:29-30 Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”  Peter’s eyes started the trouble for him.  He took His eyes off the master.  Never take your eyes off Jesus for any reason!!!!!  Jesus will not let go of you…but your peace of mind, your comfort, your spiritual security, your emotional support, your mental stability and your ability to “hang in there” comes from you….looking to JESUS! 

Peter called out to Jesus after he started sinking…Peter had loss his sense of peace..but I tell you Jesus would not have let him drown!!!  Jesus is there for us and the big point in my blog today is that we need to keep our mind and our eyes fixed on Jesus so that we don’t feel that sinking feeling and lose our peace of mind.  iIf we don’t keep our mind on Jesus…we begin to carry our burdens and this is not God’s plan for us!

Message for today:  I look to you oh Lord….I look to you!  Not when all my hope is gone…but before my hope is gone!  If you’ve got that sinking feeling about your situation…tilt your head back… look up…close your eyes and get a picture of Jesus in your head…look into His eyes…and trust in Him!

Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.

I WILL look to the hills …because I know that’s where my help will come from!! I will focus my eyes on Jesus! I will concentrate on Him! When I do this I know I will have peace that passes all understanding. I need this peace! It keeps my blood pressure down…it keeps me from being anxious and stressed out! It keeps me from being afraid.(read Psalms 121:1-2)

I feel the Lord is telling me to share this previous blog. Someone needs this encouragement today. God bless you! Hang in there!

Luke 8:43-48  43 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years, but no one could heal her. 44 She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.

45 “Who touched me?” Jesus asked.

When they all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the people are crowding and pressing against you.”

46 But Jesus said, “Someone touched me; I know that power has gone out from me.”

47 Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed. 48 Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”

This is a story of a woman who risked her life to be healed.  In those…

“WHOSE SLAVE AM I ???”

10 Comments

James 1:1  James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes scattered among the nations: Greetings.

In this scripture verse… a servant or bondservant as said in other bible translations means a slave.  A slave is one who does not have personal freedom and has to serve another person and is owned by that person.  A slave could eventually be set free if the master chooses…but many times a slave would want to remain a slave because of the life support and security of being taken care of is provided for them and their family.  In this case they would voluntarily remain a slave for life.  They permanently committed to put themselves under someone’s ownership and  control.

Like James…Jesus half brother….I am a slave of God and of our Lord Jesus Christ!!!!!!  I am under His control!  As an African American…slavery is not a word I’m happy about hearing of because of what my ancestors went through in past history…but I’ve forgiven in my heart and moved on with love for everyone.  When it comes to my Jesus though….I’m so happy to be His slave!!  I want Him to have complete authority and ownership over me!!

“Even if I get to sick or to old to serve my master like I use to I will lay in my bed thinking about Him all day and all night”

I want to serve Him and minister to His every call  and need of me in any and every way.  I want to bow before Him and call Him my master.  I want to be ready for whenever He needs me and I will come running.  I want to sit at His feet like a puppy…just happy to be near my master.  Even if I get to sick or to old to serve my master like I use to I will lay in my bed thinking about Him all day and all night and remember how loving and kind He has been to me and is still caring for me because I belong to Him…He still owns me.  Oh how I love being His slave.  Me… a slave?  Oh yes….and I’m proud of it!!  I love and honor my master and I know He loves me!!  He’s even prepared my final resting place….I have NOTHING to ever worry about!!!

Message for today:  I love my master….I love my master…My God, My Lord Jesus Christ and my Holy Spirit.  I am a bondservant….I’m owned….I’m a…slave!

1 Corinthians 6: 19-20 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.

Jesus may come back tonight!!!

Yesterday when I was in prayer I felt all this commotion going on in heaven of the final preparations for our return home.  It took my breath away.  I also heard and saw a flashing light warning or sounding an alarm about this in a vision.

This could be our last night on earth or the rapture could happen next year or 10 or more years from now …it’s still soon.  I feel in my spirit it’s coming very very soon!!  I look at people and I just want to scream…”do you know how serious things are?”

I heard this scripture in my spirit: And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.  John 14:3

Are we ready?  Are you ready?  For in just a very little while, “He who is coming will come and will not delay. Hebrews 10:37

God’s message for 7 people

The Lord just gave me messages for 7 people.  Always pray about everything and confirm with the Lord.  God spoke…I listened…and shared.  To God be the Glory and His name be praised.

Person 1. I heard your prayer request and I will respond very shortly.  Listen for my answer.  Be still, be quite and keep your spiritual ears opened.  I’m teaching you something here.  Let me complete my work in you.  You’ll benefit greatly. Don’t go by what you think but go by what I will do for you.  Trust in me.

Person 2. Write out that check.  You did hear from me.  I want to bless the person that check will be written out to and I want to bless you too.

Person 3. You are healed.  Don’t believe the enemy’s lies.  You are healed.  You believed in my abilities and trusted in me…I have blessed you!

Person 4. Look into what one of your children are doing.  They need prayer.

Person 5.  Your marriage needs to be under my influence more.  It needs refreshing and I can restore.

Person 6. There is something taxing on your heart.  You don’t even realize it.  Pray, find out that thing, give it over to me and see if you don’t start feeling much better and spiritually renewed.  That thing is a yoke around your neck.

Person 7. I need you to dance and rejoice in me.  I’ve done so much in your life and I want you to enjoy my presence in your life so I can take you to the next level in me.  I want to take you higher.  My Holy Spirit will help you with this.
