GLORY

The Lord gave me this word many years ago. He brought it back to my attention, so I wanted to share it with all of you.

My Glory fills the room. Allow My Glory to fill you up. Then take My Glory to the nations. You are a carrier of the Glory. Remember that in all the things you say and do. Since you are to save the nations, you must carry My Glory to the world. This is what will turn people from their sinful ways. Not thumping on them, not scaring them, but a want to be like you-filled with My Peace and filled with My Glory.

If you act like Jesus, people will come. It is not by might nor by power but by My Spirit says the Lord. Show them My Grace. Show them My Mercy.

This is My Plan-live for me and they will want what you have. Your job is to be who I created you to be, to be doing what I created you to do. Then you will reach your friends, your neighbors, your towns and the world for Me.

Look into My Word and learn who I AM and who you are. Look to My Word on how to live and live that way! It is the only way. Then My Glory will shine upon you, as I shined upon Moses, and you too will reflect My Glory. Allow Me to do this and you will be content. You will then be fulfilling your purpose.

I can then say at the end of all things, “Good job, good and faithful servant”

Go forth now and do as I have said for this is My command to you. Remember… I will be with you ALWAYS!!

GOD SAYS

When I say ” I can’t speak”

God says

Moses did.

When I test Him and say “I am not strong.”

God says

Gideon did test and was strong.

When I say “You don’t know what I was like or what I did!”

God says

Remember Paul.

When I say ” People will make fun of me and call me a fanatic.”

God says

Remember Noah.

Rainbow

Rainbows are the visual promise of God to never destroy the Earth by water again. It’s also a reminder that God’s promises to us are beautiful. Each vibrant with promise:

Red: The blood of Jesus

Orange: The fire of God

Yellow: Faith and Glory of our God

Green: Healthy, flourishing in God, growing in Him

Blue: Healing power of God, Hope

Indigo: Heaven

Violet: Royalty

Each of these colors represent a part of God and us as children of God. Notice the top of the rainbow is red. Red, the color of blood. Jesus’ blood covers it all. He is the head of all. So, after a storm, look up and see your rainbow. It’s God’s promise that He is in charge and will not forsake you.

The Sunflower

The sunflower is a reminder to us. Notice how one petal is out of place, flawed. Sunflower heads follow the sun, it turns all day keeping the face towards the sun.

As humans, we are flawed. Thankfully we have the Son! Just as the sunflower follows the sun, we also ought to turn our heads all day to face the Son. Keep facing the Son, drawing the warmth of the Son to heal us, to nurture us. Let His light shine upon us!

Be blessed my friends!

THE STAIN

Recently, I re-noticed a dark stain on my kitchen granite counter top. I had noticed it last year, but did not do anything about it. Putting it out of my sight and mind, I put my Aerogarden on top of it.

Fast forward to a couple weeks ago. In my always changing things around mode I moved the garden and well, there it was again, in my face. This time I decided to try and remove it.

Off to Home Depot I went to purchase what I hope will be a product to pull the unknown stain from the granite. Immediately I put a layer of the product on and waited the required 24 hours for it to dry. Scraping it off I hoped to see an improvement, but the directions say it will appear still dark until it is dry.

Needless to say I am on round two. It is lighter but still needs work. Patience is the key here. Honestly I am not a very patient person.

As I was scraping off round two the Lord spoke to my heart. Our hearts can have deeply imbedded stains. These stains can be ones we forget are there, as we just keep them pushed down, until they resurface and are in our face once again.

These are anger, bad habits, complacency, envy and unforgiveness to name just a few. Only God can remove these deeply imbedded stains. We first need to acknowledge they exist by asking the Holy Spirit to reveal them to us. And yes it is painful. But if we keep saturating ourselves with the word of God and allowing the Holy Spirit to work in us, slowly these can be pulled up and fade away. Will they come back? Sometimes, if we are not careful and stray away from our time with the Lord.

Hang in there! Keep working at it with Him!

I am still going to be working on this stain for a few more rounds. Each time I work on it I will remember God is also working on my stains, and with time I will be made new.

Blessing to all!
