God has established, or set in place His desire for worship. We do not approach Him within our own ideas or incorporate rituals form other religious practices, and God forbid we use worldly entertainment. God has instructed us through His Word, the way, the how, and when to worship Him... I'm Just Saying.

No where in the Word of God are we instructed to adapt the worship of a Holy God so that we can capture a generation. We can do nothing of ourselves. God forbid the church turns the worship of Almighty God into a socially acceptable  performance to connect with the people, and or to keep the attendance up within the church. 

If worldly means could save sinners then Christ death was in vain. What we need, and are missing within the worship of the congregation is the power and presence of the Living God. 

A thought to ponder to those who worship the Most High God, and to those who have been given the wonderful opportunity to lead others into the very presence of His Majesty. 

Question: Have you experienced your Heavenly Father seeking you as you worship Him? Our worship should so arouse God that He comes and visits us. "He who inhabits eternity inhabits the praises of His people." 

What happens when we worship our Heavenly Father? Psalm 37:17 "Until I went into the Sanctuary of God, then I understood. We receive understanding, and discernment in the presence of God. 

Question: Are you receiving understanding as you enter into His Sanctuary through worship? Worship leaders, do you have the ability to discern to lead others into worship, to minister to the Lord Most High? 

John 8:28 Revelation comes through worship. Jesus said, "When you have lifted, exalted the Son of Man then, then you will know that I Am He." 

2 Kings 3:15 Deliverance through Worship. The evil spirit left him when David worshiped the Lord. 

Hosea 10:12 Sow for yourselves righteousness: reap in mercy; break up the fallow ground. for it is time to SEEK the Lord, till He comes and rains righteousness on you. 

Acts 3:19 Repent therefore and be converted that the your sins may be blotted out, so that the "Times of Refreshing" may come from the PRESENCE of the LORD. 

Exodus 33 and 34 God's divine presence goes before us and His glory revealed. 

We must strip ourselves of all of our pride, because it's not about us, Amen. Everyone seems to be seeking, but not everyone is following.   

Isaiah 57:15 For thus says the High and Lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: I swell in the high and holy place, with him who has a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. 

We must commune vertical before we could ever lead horizontal. 

We praise Him and He inhabits us. We worship Him and He seeks us. We commune with Him and He speaks to us. His Holy Spirit reveals the deep things of God, not man. Amen. 

Jeremiah 22:29 O earth, earth, earth, Shema (hear) the Word of the LORD. 

 One Encounter. One Conversation. One Moment in Time Changed Everything. Come see a Man who Told me everything I've ever done, Is not this the Christ! Yes! Give Me This Water!!!

 Not all, but many songs that are called worship songs that are sung in churches on Sunday mornings leave us lingering in the Outer Courts. They are songs about God, and songs that are focused on ourselves. It's not wrong or bad, but it cannot be called worship. It's no wonder the power and presence of the Lord is not found within the church today. This is just my observation. Many attend church, but few enter into the Sanctuary to minister unto the Lord Most High, who is blessed forever.

I'm Just Saying!

Psalm 63:1-2

O God, You are my God; early will I seek You. My soul thirst for You; my flesh longs for You; in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water. So I have looked for You in the Sanctuary. To see Your Power and Your Glory.

2 Chronicles 5:13-14

It came to pass as the trumpeters and singers were as ONE, to make ONE sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the LORD, saying For He is good, for His mercy endures for ever: that then the house was FILLED with a cloud, even the House of the LORD; so that the priest could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for the GLORY of the LORD had FILLED the House of GOD.

Psalm 77:13

Thy way, O God is in the Sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?

My God is worthy of more than just three songs on a Sunday morning... He is worthy of all my praise!

Psalm 92

But Thou, LORD, art Most High for evermore.

God has Declared it from the Beginning and it is Forever Settled in the Heavens!

Twisted truth is a complete lie. One can not change what God has written, nor can one give a private interpretation of His Word. God declared the end from the beginning (Isaiah 46:10); His Word is FOREVER settled in the heavens (Psalm 119:89) and He will do whatever He pleases (Psalm 115:3) so how can the created say to the Creator, "that's not really what He said". Is this not the twisted truth that the devil used in the beginning to deceive Eve? (Genesis 3:1). Yet, today this very statement is heard within the walls of the Christian church, God forbid that mans words would override the Written Word of God. (Romans 3:4) Let God be true and every man a liar).

Shalom! It has been a few years since I last posted. Cancer has its way of turning your world upside down. If you let it, it will not just consume you, it will change you. Tom, my husband was diagnosed with multiply myeloma in January 2018. He started chemotherapy on March 5th. 2018 and here we are after two stem cell transplants and now into four years of chemo treatments I have risen from the ashes of this horrible disease in hopes to revive my blog and my witting in general. I have change the title and narrative for this blog to focus more on the truth of our identity in Christ. In the beginning God created us in His image and in His likeness. God saw all that He had made and it was very good… so what happened to the GOOD? Stay tuned as I navigate through God’s Word and let the Holy Spirit reveal and teach me the eternal purpose of our existence. Now unto the King eternal, Immortal, Invisible, the only wise God, be honor and glory forever and ever. AMEN!

There is an appetite for sin that dwells within our flesh and an emptiness within our soul that longs for wholeness. We confuse one with the other trying to fill the emptiness by satisfying the appetite. 

Jesus said, "If we hunger and thirst after His righteousness we would be filled" We will be completely satisfied and made whole. When we seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, all things shall be given unto us. My friends, today, you can taste and see that the Lord is good. 

Today, you can believe in the goodness of God in the land of the living. Stop looking at the world and things in the world to make you complete. You are made complete in Christ. The One who can, and will make all things new! 

Proverbs 27:7, "A satisfied soul loathes the honeycomb, but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet." 

Revelation 21:6, "And He said, It is done! I am the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely."

Excerpts from Tattooed by Jesus and My Thoughts… Chapter One: “For years I freaked out to see roach, lying on its back, batting the air with squirming legs. Why do creatures live? Where do they go when they die? When will I die? The deepest parts of my soul asked these questions for as long as I can remember. My fear of death began with my very first memory.” Fear paralysis. Fear causes us to disconnect. Fear sucks us into an introvert state of mind, and Fear brings torment. 1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love cast out fear: because fear hath torment. He that fears is not made perfect in love. Fear of death. Fear of killing words. Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. At three years old and I am already emotionally tired. In need of safety and comfort. A realization of needing someone to save me. A need to protect my mom from death. Wishes became a form of prayer to an unknow God. I curl up by the window and hide my eyes. Matthew 6:22-23 The eye is the lamp of the body; so, then if your eye is clear, your whole body will be full of light. “But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness! I developed a defensive mode. My only escape, I love the sun. It warms me, inside and out. I’m not scared when Mr. Sun shines bright in the sky. Psalm 19:1-6 The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands. Day to day pours forth speech, And night to night reveals knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there words; Their voice is not heard. Their line has gone out through all the earth, and their utterances to the end of the world in them He has placed a tent for the sun, which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber; It rejoices as a strong man to run his course. Its rising is from one end of the heavens, and its circuit to the other end of them; And there is nothing hidden from its heat. Fear brings the “what ifs” I grew up thinking like an adult and not a child. Survival thinking through a jungle of fear, swinging on emotions, searching for the very thing I need most, a Savior. Hebrews 2:14-15 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also (Jesus) Himself likewise took part of the same; that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil. And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 2 Timothy 1:7 God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and love, and a sound mind. 1 Corinthians 15:51-58 Behold, I show you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruption must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So, when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying, death is swallowed up in VICTORY! O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God which gives us the VICTORY through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. As a child I hid my eyes from the world. Running from the darkness within my own soul. As a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, I now, lift my eyes, up over the hills of this world and all its woes for I know where my help comes from. My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. In this fallen world, I look unto to Jesus, the author and finisher of my faith. In the midst of a world of darkness and sin, Jesus has risen from the dead! Yes, I see Jesus, exalted above the heavens. I see Jesus, high and lifted up and His train fills the temple. I can hear the angles cry; Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of host: the whole earth is full of His glory! My eyes have seen the King of Glory!
