Eileen Fisher: I Have Called My Vessels of Honor to Come Forth

Eileen Fisher: I Have Called My Vessels of Honor to Come Forth

This Goes Along With What I Wrote Yesterday

This is what I read today from my daily devotional, "Connect With God Devotional II" by Jentezen Franklin:
THERE'S POWER IN SACRIFICE

I remember you in my prayers at all times
Romans 1:9-10 NIV

"In the Old Testament tabernacle the altar of incense (prayer) was lit from the altar of sacrifice. It takes sacrifice to pray.  A lady in her nineties, when asked how she was able to recall the names of people others had difficulty remembering, replied, "Because I pray for them each day." It's hard to forget somebody you're praying for, isn't it?
Paul sacrificed his will, his safety, and his comfort to serve the Lord and His people. His great success can be tied to the degree to which he gave his life for others.
There's power in sacrifice. The cross is the ultimate sacrifice-a the ultimate power. The degree to which you lay down your life for others, is the degree to which you will experience God's power in your daily living.
Peter says we are "a royal priesthood." Think about that. The priesthood is about intercession, and intercession is not about you. It's about others!
"But I'm trying to find myself," you say. Listen to Jesus, "Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to finding yourself" (Mt 16:25 TM). Has God been speaking to you about the need to intercede for others? If so do it. That could be your calling. Listen, "I have posted watchmen on your walls...they will never be silent day or night. You who call on the Lord, give yourselves no rest, and give him no rest till he...makes [whoever you're praying for]...the redeemed of the Lord" (Isa 62:6-7&12NIV). Keep praying. God will answer!"

When God Speaks To Your Heart About Something Do Not Be Scared And Run From It. I Did And I Regret It Now.

Let me share with you something I have learned by learning it the hard way. First of all I would like to thank all of you that have read;  continue to read; and those that will read my blog in the future. I have mentioned this before and shared with you that it was a pastor that encouraged me to write this very blog. I have known for many years that I have a passion for writing. I started with writing in journals and then advanced to writing at a keyboard and saving the dated writings. Those were the days leading up to me writing and at times videotaping for this blog. Thank you Pastor Troy for your continual encouragement to me to keep writing the blog. He told me that I should keep writing even if it was for one person to read what was written I was in obedience to Holy Spirit. As of today there have been over 3,000 views from around the world reading what I write. Thank you for all the glory goes to God, for it is He that inspires me to write and to share with you. I have found that I will write on a subject and prior to writing about it I had experiences and seen examples. Once all that I needed to experience and see was just the right amount needed to write then Holy Spirit draws me to write and it is the neatest thing. He creates through me and compiles it with bringing remembrance to my mind and the very moment to add it to the writing. Never take your daily experiences for granted for your today experience just may be able to help someone tomorrow. I recently saw a show and the person wrote in a journal and a newspaper journalist asked this question of her, "Would you continue to write even if you knew no one would read it?" I found myself saying "yes" to that for it really is a passion of mine. He asked that question to let her know that she was a writer because she answered yes to that question.
A few years ago a great opportunity was presented to me. Things were good and I felt inside that was the place where I was to truly be. Something happened in which I got nervous and I stepped in to alter what should have been. You see, Holy Spirit spoke something to my heart and I was just not willing to deal with it then. I am not sure if it was in part that I thought maybe the enemy was trying to speak something to me to get me off the path that God laid before me or if I was not ready to receive what God had for me. How many of you out there tend to botch things up when you are so close to destiny? Not to sabotage yourself intentionally, it is a nervous reaction to guard you from failure. I knew enough after stepping back for a few weeks that it was God and I sought out counsel for it. The dilemma I created was I had to back track and save face and come up with a reason why I shunned it the first time. That little making up of an excuse that sounded good was not a good thing to do. It did not bring glory to God it just sounded good. I then began to feel conviction from Holy Spirit to share the main reason why I pulled back to begin with. It was a partial coming clean so to speak. It was not until recently when I questioned something in someones life that Holy Spirit reminded me that I was in the same boat for not sharing completely the real reason. I am not good at this at times, how do you share with someone what God spoke to your heart without them thinking this is overload with what you are saying Holy Spirit spoke to your heart.
Be cautious not to make the same mistake I made. God speaks to your heart and you then deny it, even if it is only in part does that place you then into the category of being a liar? God cannot lie and if He spoke it it is, so it must be you that is the liar for not believing it. Either He spoke it to you or not. Until I realized this recently I was in the category of those that will burn in the lake of fire for liars are in that very category.  It would have been so much easier for me to just say it up front and not have to wait years to say it. I really loved what I was doing back then and because of me being cautious I prolonged me operating in what came to me naturally. I put off meeting people that God already had lined up for me to speak and share with. I missed valuable training I would have received. I missed success I would have attained. Everything was postponed and did I then cause myself to fall back on God's timeline He had set aside just for me? I would venture to say yes all for what? Some notion of fear. Why when you are in those moments you cannot start speaking to the enemy Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world?
When you share from your heart with another what Holy Spirit has spoke to your heart they will know and just know that you heard from God, they really will. Do not do like I did and run but never tire of sharing what God has put in your heart OK. I try to write and share with you so you do not have to experience these things. On the other hand I also share with you the valuable things I have learned to help you along on your journey also. Things that have been taught to me throughout the years that I have found to be true and helpful to you also. Please forgive me if I ever missed a moment to share because I was tired, hungry, missing home, or overwhelmed with life that day or thinking about what I have to do in the near future too.
Be blessed and do not hold a grudge OK. Do not let the sun go down with anger in you heart against one who maybe panicked in the moment and that moment decision caused you to possibly be thrown off of your life timeline with destiny with God. We are not totally spiritual we are human too. That is no excuse but it is true. We would all love to walk in the spirit 24/7 but at times we mess up and have to ask forgiveness of God and from others too. Be gentle with these people when they ask your forgiveness for there will always be those in your life that will be gentle with you when you ask their forgiveness of you.
How do you re-capture what was lost? I do not have the answer to that sorry. At least not for now. Maybe Holy Spirit or another person will tell me the answer to that.

This Is A Combination Writing Of 8/1/11 & 8/18/11

There's a message within a message-I arose at 4:48AM to pray in the spirit. I prayed and at the end of the day I found that my car would not start. AAA was late in coming to jump start the car. It was extremely humid and hot this day and most uncomfortable waiting. It was in the waiting that Holy Spirit nudged me that even though I was praying for another there is a message within a message. I have no idea what I prayed for the individual but right now Holy Spirit is giving the message within the message which it means. Even though I prayed over a hour or so it was the obedience in prayer that Holy Spirit is looking for.
You see, this is something new for me, I always thought that when you were nudged to pray in the spirit it was just for that person. He is revealing to me now that there was an interpretation.
Today is 8/18/11 and I now receive that interpretation from  praying on 8/1/11. There was not time to receive the interpretation that day for as soon as I got home I had to get another jump start to allow me to go to the auto parts store where I had a warranty on the battery and get a new battery.
As time progresses you need to take caution even more-so than in days back when. For you see there are those directly assigned to go after you and take your anointing away from you. They cannot take it for it is I- the son of the living God that gives it and no man can take that away from you. They do have power to bring discouragement to you which can cause you to let your guard down and allow the enemy in to attack. Keep girded up with the word of God; be in prayer; and keep that worship song in your heart.
As the enemy approaches speak forth that the destiny designed just for your very life is not completed and you are in process and nothing can or will stop that destiny seeing fruition.
Do not be afraid but rejoice when you see the enemy on your shirt tales for he knows he can't touch you without you letting your guard down. He can taunt you or set up "near-miss" situations in your life. But remember I have angels on guard around you. They are there to work with you-work with them and see what gets accomplished saith the Lord of Hosts.
Let me share an example with you that happened this very morning today. I was on the road and everything seemed to be fine until...the car ahead of me slammed on their brakes to avoid getting hit by an on coming van that wanted to make a left hand turn before the car approached their path.
Instantly I braked with much clearance distance between me and the car ahead of me and there was no car tailing me to slam into me.
I do not know what the driver of the van was even thinking, they had a child in the van and it appeared to be they were dropping them off at school. Well guess what, they made the turn but missed the driveway they should have turned into. They went up the curb and onto the school lawn. I saw the look of the child in the front seat as they were turning it was one of those looks like, What is happening.
You see, I was not judging in the moment I gave thanks to the angels that were there to help me-they did. I then had empathy for the driver of the van and prayed Lord help them let it be all right for them. More so, possibly having to face humiliation with missing the driveway and a near miss hit with a car and to then be parked on the school lawn as other children were being dropped off at school.
Lesson in all of this...slow down life is too precious to miss all that God has for your life. Don't rush it through but live the moments He set aside just for your life. Remember, here today-gone tomorrow. What have you rushed along in your life that caused you to step out of line with God's plan for you? Ask forgiveness and get right back on the path/timeline He created for your very life. Amen.

August 18th Is The Day That God Called Me Forth To Breathe My First Breath Of Life Outside My Mother's Womb

Something wonderful happened on August 18th. That was the day that I was called forth into the world to breathe my first breath of life outside of my mother's womb. I was welcomed into the world by the destiny that God set aside just for me to fulfill in my life. As you probably have figured out by now I love to read. Being a reader, sometime's I like to jump ahead and read a chapter or so randomly in a book I am reading. Sometimes there is knowledge in that chapter that you may not get to until the future. Well, today may be the day I need the information in that very chapter right?
I jumped ahead on reading my daily devotional and read several days in advance a few days ago. I liked what I was to read on August 18th. I liked it so much that I am going to share it with all of you. May you be blessed in the reading of this also along with me. Taken from "Connect With God Vol II" by Jentezen Franklin:

"DON'T MISS WHAT GOD'S GOT FOR YOU1
Let him...on the housetop not come down to take anything out of his house.
Matthew 24:17
The bible uses words like straightway, immediately and suddenly, to remind us that when God moves, He does it quickly. He doesn't announce it with trumpets and fanfare, so you need to stay prepared; especially for something you've been waiting for a long time. God actually moves so quickly that one day you'll feel like you're going through hell, and the next like you're seated in heavenly places. And in both instances it's "God which worketh in you" (Php2:13).
Stay alert! You may be just a moment away from the answer you've been seeking. That's all the time it takes for God to change things. Don't let procrastination steal your opportunity. Listen, "Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take anything out of his house" (Mt 24:17). You've got to decide if you're going to to with what God has for you now, or return to the house-because your unfinished business can cause you to miss it.
Others may also cause you to miss your opportunity. A sick man missed his healing for thirty-eight years because he waited for others to act. He said, "I have no one to help" (Jn 5:7 NLT). For years he sat beside the solution, but others caused him to miss it.
Nothing is more important than what God wants to say to you and do for you today; not what's going on in your house; not the opinions of others. All that matters is being ready to receive what He has for you!"

Are You Listed In This Group Of People? Part 2

As I finished sharing part one earlier today Holy Spirit prompted me to go back in the bible. This time we are in Ezekiel 3: 16-21

"After seven days the Lord spoke his word to me. He said, "Son of man, I have made you a watchman over the people of Israel. Listen to what I say, and warn them for me. Suppose I tell you that wicked people will surely die, but you don't warn them or speak out so that they can change their wicked ways in order to save their lives. Then these wicked people will die because of their sin, but I will hold you responsible for their deaths. But suppose you warn the wicked people, and they don't turn from their wicked ways. Then they will die because of their sin, but you will save yourself. If righteous people turn from living the right way and do wrong, I will make them stumble, and they will die. If you don't warn them, they will die because of their sin, and the right things they did will not be remembered. I will hold you responsible for their deaths. But if you warn righteous people not to sin, and they don't sin, they will certainly live because they listened to the warning. You will save yourself."

I think this about says it all once again.

Are You Listed In This Group Of People?

My text is coming from Revelation 21: 8 & 27 and Revelation 22: 14-15:
"But cowardly, unfaithful, and detestable people, murderers, sexual sinners, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars will find themselves in the fiery lake of buring sulfur. This is the second death."
"Nothing unclean, no one who does anything detestable, and no liars will ever enter it. Only those whose names are written in the lamb's Book of Life will enter it."
"Blessed are those who wash their robes so that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. Outside are dogs, sorcerers, sexual sinners, murderers, idolaters, and all who lie in what they say and what they do."

I do not think I need to say anything further. The scripture speaks for itself and it is very evident and clear as to those that will not be in heaven for all eternity. The choice truly is yours...life or death for all eternity. Choose and choose wisely.

Addison Road - Need You Now

This is a great song to hit "repeat" in the car and turn up the volume. The words are great but really listen to the beat...it will stir your soul. Go ahead don't be afraid if you are on an open, country road or at a stop sign or traffic light and it says "with out stretched hands"...try it stretch forth your hands and give it all to Jesus.
