MONDAY MORNING MESSAGE FOR The Body Of Christ 7-25-11

Gooooood Morninnnnnnnnng!

We get so caught up in getting our needs met and our prayers answered it must truly test the patience of God that we seldom PRAISE & WORSHIP Him for all that He is, all that He does and All that He does not do (to our benefit)! The Holy word instructs us that we were created & exist for this purpose (yet sin has gotten in the way) it has effectively all but eliminated praise from the lips of mankind & the heart reflects the content of the soul. Lip service to God is not what He seeks, but rather a truthful & heartfelt acknowledgement of His Ultimate Dominion, Great Mercy, Perfect Justice, Divine Order and Supreme Solemnity! Rom 2:29

I've often heard it said that it was that Fallen Angel's job to worship and praise God, makes sense becase he works feverishly against God and mankind to deter us from doing so. His jealous, wicked ways are all part ofu a conspiracy to rob us of the benefit of Praise (close communion with the Lord) Luke 10:18 Incidentally, praise is the most effective way to get Satan to flee (he hates praise) There is great Power and Promise in PRAISE!

"Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good." Romans 12:21

Hebrews 13:15 says, “Through Him then let us offer up a sacrifice of praise continually to God, that is, the fruit of lips confessing His name.”

..........What is the meaning of a sacrifice? A sacrifice is an offering! Sacrifice is associated with loss. Next time you are in pain or have suffered a loss, PRAISE GOD for it, make it count for something! I now understand why when I was a little girl my Mother often said to me, "offer it up"; she would say this whenever I was hurting over something, a disappointment, a small injury or even a simple headache. We should offer up our trials and hardships and that truly is the time when we need to be praising God to invoke His mercy, His presence and His power.

Heavenly Father, How magnificent is thy name in all the earth and Heaven above?! Praise and glory are rightfully yours and it is the good pleasure of of your servant to honor and acknowledge You. Thank you Lord for Your patience and love for us, that You continually guide and direct all things to Your will and way. To fully know You is to implicitly trust You, even through the Valley of the Shadow of Death; at that point whom could possibly be an advocate or help But YOU Our sovereign and Mighty Lord?! Let us harness this deliberate, definite and direct PRAISE to You for WORTHY ARE YOU Oh Lord! Help us to discover more ways to truly Praise praise and worship you, in words, in action, obedience and surrender! AMEN!

Psalm 104:1-9
Bless the LORD, O my soul! O LORD my God, You are very great: You are clothed with
honor and majesty, Who cover Yourself with light as with a garment, Who stretch out
the heavens like a curtain. He lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters,
Who makes the clouds His chariot, Who walks on the wings of the wind, Who makes
His angels spirits, His ministers a flame of fire. You who laid the foundations of the
earth, So that it should not be moved forever, You covered it with the deep as with a
garment; The waters stood above the mountains. At Your rebuke they fled; At the voice
of Your thunder they hastened away. They went up over the mountains; They went
down into the valleys, To the place which You founded for them. You have set a
boundary that they may not pass over, That they may not return to cover the earth.

Psalm 148
1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights. 2 Praiseye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts. 3 Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light. 4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens.5 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded , and they were created . 6 He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass . 7 Praise theLORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps: 8 Fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy windfulfilling his word: 9 Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars: 10 Beasts, and all cattle;creeping things, and flying fowl: 11 Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth: 12 Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children: 13 Let them praise the nameof the LORD: for his name alone is excellent ; his glory is above the earth and heaven. 14 He alsoexalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a peoplenear unto him. Praise ye the LORD.

John 4:23-24
23But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
24God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

I Timothy 1:17
Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and
glory forever and ever. Ame

Revelation 4:11
"You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created.

Psalm 95:6-7
(6) O come, let us worship and bow down,
let us kneel before the LORD, our Maker!
(7) For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture,
and the sheep of his hand.
O that today you would listen to his voice!

Rom 14:11

Phil 2:9-11

MONDAY MORNING MESSAGE For The Body Of Christ July 18, 2011

Goood Morninnnnnnnnng

We can get angered so easily...yet we expect God to be long suffering? If truth be known there are many things that offend God, yet he provides all that we require, all the time, with open arms and little thanks. We fight with each other as well as with Him, we resist Him, blame & curse Him or just ignore Him entirely. Others excel at their sin...and think that an occasional good deed is some sort of offering... it is like getting flowers from the person that stabbed you in the back; just doesnt cut it (no punn intended)

Isaiah 64:6
6But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

1 John 2:15-16 " Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions—is not from the Father but is from the world."

BUT...

To the child that seeks him, that accepts reproof, that strives to obey, endeavors to learn, seeks God's will; surrendering their time, their hearts and their earthly gain to the usage of God, that is the one whom God approves and calls the apple of his eye!

For thus said the Lord of hosts, after his glory sent me to the nations who plundered you, for he who touches you touches the apple of his eye: Zechariah 2:8

PROVERBS 7:2 Keep my commandments and live; keep my teaching as the apple of your eye;

PROVERBS 15:9 The way of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord, but he loves him who pursues righteousness.

Go forth with Love in your heart. Not everyone is going to Love you back, not everyone is going to embrace your message....but for the one that needs to hear the correct and truthful word ...it's a seed planted toward everlasting life!

Even when you have done all of this, you might encounter a wolf; fear not though...for they lurk about and seek to destroy. Know this; God sees all and there is nothing that gets by without his observance. He will fight our battles for us, we are instructed to be meek not weak. We do not lay down and die, it is ok to have righteous anger but sin not! It is acceptable to speak truth, speak up and speak out, to risk being persecuted, resisted against, mocked and blamed. They will accuse, they will deflect and they will try to pin their evil deeds on you BUT it will not stick becuase it can not take root. Like water and oil, their sludge will rise to the surface where it is visible.

(Job 34:21-22)
"For God watches the deeds of all mankind. He sees them all. No darkness is thick enough to hide evil men from his eyes."

Joshua 23:10
10 One man of you shall chase a thousand, for the LORD your God is He who fights for you, as He promised you.

Deu 1:30 The LORD your God, who is going before you, will fight for you, as he did for you in Egypt, before your very eyes,

Exo 14:14 The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still

Luke 1:28 The angel went to her and said, "Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you."

Heavenly Father, as we seek to do your will and carry out your word. There are those who's agendas are against us. They seek to undermine and to negate the effectiveness of Christ; they plot and they groan amongst themselves. Woe to the wicked ones who assist the devil knowingly or unknowigly. Cause them to tremble Lord as You alone can save or smite the soul. The ravenous wolves seek to destroy and perceive your children as easy prey becuase they know their is no corruption being brewed in our hearts, they think they have an advantage. Lord be our eyes and ears; so direct our steps and the outcome of things that the advantage remains ours as We serve a Living God, full of dominion and power. Open the eyes of those transfixed on the lies of the evil one so that they may discover the wayward and forsake that way. Convict them in their hearts as you set a table for us in their presence and let the sights sounds and smells rise to the heavens in an attempt to awaken them. If there is no repentance in them Lord, it is your matter to deal with; for we pray with all our hearts that even they might turn and return to You. We ask this in the name of Yeshua Jesus Our Mighty Lord, Christ Our Savior AMEN

A word charged with so much power, a word with emphatic meaning.

Hebrew: אָמֵן,

The Hebrew word amen derives from the Hebrew verb ʼāmán, a primitive root. Grammarians frequently list ʼāmán under its three consonants (aleph-mem-nun), which are identical to those of ʼāmēn (note that the Hebrew letter א aleph originally represented a glottal stop sound, which functioned as a consonant in the morphology of Hebrew).[8] This triliteral root means to be firm, confirmed, reliable, faithful, have faith, believe. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amen)

It's meaning: "SO BE IT";...it is commending the matter to God in suggestion as well as faithful belief. It is an act of reverence also; we acknowledge God as the ultimate Judge and final Authority in the saying so! It is a word that is intrinsically connected to the source of all Truth!

The very first use of it was when a woman was accused of being unfaithful to her husband. She was subject to the test of "bitter waters", invoking the words "amen and amen" in the sight of God...if she was indeed guilty, she would be taken over by the ill effects of the water and would certainly perish. If she was innocent, she would survive unharmed. Num 5:12-31

In the land of Israel, when a prophecy was made, or a law of God was read,"All the people said, “Amen”" (Neh 5:13, 8:6) Several books of Psalms end with Amen (Psa 41:13, Psa 72:19, Psa 89:52) and most books of the New testament. The Lord’s example prayer ends with “Amen” (Matthew 6:13). Amen was also used to represent God's promise - "For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in Christ. And so through Him the "Amen" is spoken by us to the glory of God. (2 Corinthians 1:20). Paul uses the word seven times in his letter to the Romans (Rom 1:25, Rom 9:5, Rom 11:36, Rom 15:33, Rom 16:20,24,27) and he suggests that people end prayer with its use (1Cor 14:16) and lastly it is Used in the last verses of the Bible (Rev 22:20-21).

When we say Amen, we are literally saying... "Yes, I know that to be true", "So Be it in the sight of God", "Verily, it is true and so be it!" “Amen” is an affirmation of truth, a special word that we can use whenever we say or hear something that is true before God.

"For as many as may be the promises of God, in him they are 'yes' and in him 'Amen'" (2Co 1:20).

Heavenly Father, Author of Truth and Chief Justice of the Universe and this entire world; we honor and praise You. We constantly seek to know You more and more. We acknowledge You and Your sovereign Truth, we speak with faith and in respect when we use the word Amen and we recognize Your omniscient observance of us and all that we think, say and do. Help us Lord to invoke your assistance with the greatest of intent and the rightful amount of respect that is befitting. We seek pardon for those who know You not and have yet to seek you, may you open their eyes and their hearts before time runs out. Help us Father, to be the guardians of the Word, to protect it and to serve it in the spirit of Love, effectually and effectively. Amen, so be it Lord, that all shall proclaim your Majesty and every tongue shall confess your name. We carry out your commands and patiently await your return! May we all be found acceptable in Your sight! We ask this in the name of Yeshua Jesus, the Holy One, Our Lord and Christ Savior ~ AMEN!

MONDAY MORNING MESSAGE For The Eternal Body Of Christ July 4, 2011

Goooood Morninnnnnnnng!

The word "Luck" is a bold faced LIE, it's counterfeit in precept and to place any value or trust in it is disobedient and dangerous! Besides the fact that the word never once appears in the Bible. A lot of people are living under the false belief that Luck is responsible for their blessings or the lack of them. To it's contrary, God is able to intervene on our behalf, when he is beseeched to...He is direct and there is no happenstance with Him!

There are many things that deserve a measure of trust, Luck is not one of them! You see, God is in control of all things; which means that in truthfulness luck can not and does not exist; It is a deception, authored by Lucifer himself (funny how the first three letters are Luc) short for the wicked woe-master himself.

Since God created all things and all things that happen fall under His dominion; it is He who places all things into perfect order! Created for our benefit, we have His providence, His good fortune, His blessings, His miracles and His divinely appointed events. No luck!

It's so prevalent, it's everywhere! It's been drilled into our psyche's; "good luck", "it's just my luck", "you could be the lucky winner", "how lucky was that?", it's said all the time and it just ticks God off...I endeavor to eradicate this word from my vocabulary because it takes away Authority from God. I despise the word and we should no longer use it...if you catch yourself doing so, just lovingly correct yourself until the use of it is killed!

Luck belongs to the poor in spirit, the destitute soul which believes that some random thing will fall into place and that by chance, they will somehow benefit? Sure, occasionally you'll get a winfall (but look closely at that word now too..."winfall" that says it all, dont fall!)... It's a poison nugget placed on the end of the hook and once you bite you're snagged!

Heavenly Father, Magnificent Lord, All Powerful and Sovereign are You; who holds the world and the universe in the palm of your hand! You placed all things into creation and it is by your will and way that they exist and continue. Lord, I ask that you reveal your truth to the many who have fallen to the deceiver. Encourage those whom have need to abandon their rituals and their false beliefs and begin to take their requests and supplication to the throne of grace. In the process of trusting you Lord, we learn patience, virtue, humility and peace; the act of surrendering to your will and offering our heartfelt desires to you allow us to examine our selves and our beliefs. When all things fall into alignment and they meet up with your Holy word there is no thing that you can not provide for us or will not do for us. Thank you Lord for your unending Love for us! AMEN!

Before closing here I would just like to add that many of us are residents of the USA; today we celebrate the 4th of July! Let us NOT FORGET How "fortunate" and "blessed" we are, Let us restore this Land to it's a former Glory which was mirrored and measured upon the Holy Word of God, the Bible and the Ten Commandments! We absolutely need to turn things around before it is too late. Any person in government who disproves of the Lord thy God or Jesus Christ shall never get a vote and the Power of the Lord, Yeshua Christ Jesus shall be employed against such!

Exodus 7:10-12
So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did just as the Lord commanded. Aaron cast down his staff before Pharaoh and his servants, and it became a serpent.

A Psalm of Asaph. Truly God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart. But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled, my steps had nearly slipped.

They are not in trouble as others are; they are not stricken like the rest of mankind. ...

Deuteronomy 18:9-12
“When you come into the land that the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not learn to follow the abominable practices of those nations. There shall not be found among you anyone who burns his son or his daughter as an offering, anyone who practices divination or tells fortunes or interprets omens, or a sorcerer or a charmer or a medium or a necromancer or one who inquires of the dead, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord.
