Fear...

Fear, Fear Not

Soul must sing...fill with His words.

"Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones."

Must fill vessel with words of life, words of wisdom, words of courage, words of hope, words of peace, words of future and prophecy.

Thoughts and words they come, written by ink of blessings seen and unseen, moment from moment, smiles of joy, peace, thankfulness...but first must address battle within.

The experience, a teeter totter.

A thought on Fear:

The deadly unreal that has become so real, lived out in life; never to have thought possible or imagined. The mind wages war against deepest part of soul and spirit, the very spirit that is within, the very One that dwelleth in who maketh all things new, the very One that dwelleth in which embraces the fight with courage and graciously gives peace in the battle; for the fight is not with flesh and the very Victory has overcome in eternal heaven.

The wage, The war, The ride:

The mind: Oh my! It must be taken captive, captive to Christ, Savior.

The soul: Must sing unto Thee a new song, praising The Holy One.

The body: Must endure, at same time find rest in The Open Arms.

Fear, attacks, attacks hard and slow, destroying the very thing it tries to capture; when finished with its prey, moves on to the next vessel in moments of weakness. Leaving this shell fragile, exhausted, anxious and recluse, removed.

Must refocus eyes to Him, Jesus; who came to save, to His words; Carrying the mind, body, and soul in the very vessel He dwelleth. Victory has overcome, begins again the renewal, the amazing grace, the energy, the fuel.

The teeter totter has slowed down a bit, with milder waves now.

The pleasant words of His letters, beautiful instructions to His child, a honeycomb, sweet, turns around fear: and vessel is...

Renewed.

Amazed by grace.

Energized.

Fueled, body and spirit.

Then and only then, the soul, the mind, refreshed, bones of body shall be healthy.

Fear...No, No fear...just encouragement, strength, rest and His gracious quiet joy for today.

Ride, yes the teeter totter rocks back and forth, back and forth, but...

Mind, Body, Spirit...Sings unto Thee, Sings unto Thee,

"It is well, with my soul"

Filled with His words...sweet as honeycomb to soul

Singing unto Thee...health comes to bones.


"For the word of God [is] living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." Heb 4:12

"Ready Yourselves"

The past year of "Remaining Steadfast, No Matter" surely held its name...The Lord just preparing this broken vessel to learn lessons of life, physical limitations, His will, His provision, and His grace.

So the thought for this years theme...

"Restored"...

prayers had risen for the Lord to restore his child, child with the desire to serve, to love, to grow in becoming the wife and mother He wanted to lead me to be....

Then recently.....maybe that would not be the word, the theme for 2010?...

Yes, restored inside and out would definitely be a gift from Lord...but with the changes the new year is bringing... The words keep coming and not stopping at just one..

"Prepare for Rain". (as in Facing the Giants) We must prepare, prepare as we wait upon the Lord, to see where He will lead. Prepare and keep heart and mind open in preparation for change, yet limiting expectations.

"Ready Yourselves"!! (the new song from casting crowns) Ready Yourselves!! Ready self for change, for courage, for patience, for strength, for wisdom, for God's call, for evangelical experiences, for expanding territory, for growth, for peace...list could keep on going for sure...

But for know...this vessel will prepare...and ready self...as preparations and readiness are at hand, growth will surely come, and hopes of raising another generation up in the Lord will most assuredly be fulfilled...family will prepare and be ready!

As child of the God Most High prepares, heart will be prepared unto Thee, and will take rest in His safety.

As child of the Holy Lamb readies self, gladness, rejoicing, and honor are before Him.

Yes....restored...remaining steadfast no matter

Yes...Preparing for Rain...

Yes...for today....ever changing...

"Ready Yourselves"..

Oh Father...

Dear Father,

Forgive them, for they know not what they do.

To understand the need time and time again, to forgive. It's amazing.

Character...Expectations...Dissappointments...maybe written another day, but for now dear Lord;
seeking Thee, praising Thee, Hear prayers of saints, Change hearts, and strengthen your servants.

Hear oh Father the plea for justice to prevail, for the righteous to shine forth, for the wicked to be cast down to come to a place to kneel, to seek, and to find you, the one true living God.

A heart of thankfulness for your fullness of joy amid the fiery circumstances which change the very created being to become more the image of Christ.

A humility, a redemptive promise, a morning of mercy, a life full of grace, an eternal sanctification.
Oh Father, do forgive, perform your perfect will, enlarge territories to reach those yet to become your children, for your Kingdom, power, glory.

Oh Father...

Our Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.
Amen.

Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty...Holy is He, Holy is the Lamb.

Lamb slain for sinful flesh...Oh Father...yes...forgive them, for they know not what they do.

In Jesus Name...

Oh Father...

The just shall live by faith

Wait...my soul waits...soul sings...just, faithful, life and life abundant

As time moves on, this body grows older, and eyes opened...oh heaviness of heart..

to know, to see, to smell, to taste, to be effected by dark evil...sin - wicked world of power, just pure evil...raw unadulterated evil...to exalt themselves...no matter the consequences of those it will effect...the consequence maybe unforeseen, maybe foreseen. The magnitude, unimaginable!


To wonder, will the hearts of men ever turn back to the Lord?

Must look to Him who created and know He has His good and perfect plan, and he will use the believer just as he will use the unbeliever to attain His glory.


Must seek first the Kingdom of God.


Must seek His face, Him who softens hearts toward Himself.


Must seek a call to commune with the Heavenly Host of Hosts.


Must see the good beyond the evil, must see the veil which has been torn.


As the heaviness bears down for the lives whom the evil seeks to destroy...
there in that lies the true essence of seeking Him.

For the seeker shall find whom he seeks... Oh to know He is Lord...

Among this season, a peace like no other, a re-igniting of a passionate fire just as when we first begun this heavenly upward ride, a desire to move forward continuing the race set before the path ever altered by footsteps, a heart to intercede on the strengthened and a heart to intercede on those yet to belong to His Kingdom, a call for wisdom beyond humanly thought possible, guidance beyond what could be imagined, open and closed doors where our hands have no control,

Creator works His plans through even sinful flesh determined to divide, conquer, destroy, rise

Beauty among the ashes

Grace through the turmoil

Wisdom for the trail

Direction through the path

Living Words for the battle

God is the defense.

A call for those whom their knees have yet to bow.

A growth for those who are not ashamed of His name...Jesus!

A perfect plan for His glory.

Written, spoken, paved path along journey...keeping eyes upon Him who came to save

No dancing with the rumors, the gossip, the wicked...just praising the Holy of Holy.

Yes, heart heavy...but burden lifted by His merciful love and grace.

Soul will sing unto Thee ...

Wait, my soul waits...will wait upon Lord ...

Soul sings...just, faithful, abundant life in Him...

will remember and know...

The just shall live by faith

And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful
