Thankful

What are you thankful for today?

Sometimes as we look in the mirror, listen to ourselves in conversations, and reflect on human nature as a whole we realize what depthless unappreciative little beings we can be. But tonight as I sit down at this laptop I want to challenge everyone who reads this to lay every care down for just a minute and bask in the wonderment of what God has done for all of us. No matter what you may be facing right now and I know some are facing grievous loss, traumatic diagnoses, the ramifications of abuse, and seeming financial ruin, but brother/sister I promise you this is merely a blip on the radar of a universal map that is our overall existence.

James 4:14

You don't even know what tomorrow will bring--what your life will be! For you are like a vapor that appears for a little while, then vanishes.

 Romans 8:18

For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is going to be revealed to us.

Please read those scriptures a couple of times as you meditate on what this little note is saying to you personally , and seal the words of God to your heart and mind. The peace and joy of The Lord will surely follow and through Christ a new perspective will begin to emerge in your spirit that will transform every circumstance you are facing today into nothing more than the life transformation that God intended it to be from the very beginning. So let’s start by reflecting over the things that God has done in our lives that we need to be thankful for and give Him praise and gratitude for those gifts/relationships, and let our hearts reside there.

 There are many scriptures that say “and it came to pass” (396 to be exact) which basically means “It happened”…… and God says “if it came to pass” it did not come to STAY! A lot of things are going to happen in this life and some are really tragic, painful, and ugly, but it is never the end. Even when they mark the inevitable end of this life on this earth they are just milestones to the next chapter for those who love and believe. Whatever you are facing today know that has it, and He was forsaken so we never have to be forsaken ourselves. Trust God and be thankful in this very day for you could be in Iraq, Syria, Somalia, etc…. right this very second with a knife to the throat of yourself or worse yet someone you love, cherish and are here to protect.

I hear a lot of preachers teaching about the prophetic of this age, end times, and heaven, but have yet to hear a good message about the 1000 Year Reign of Christ that is to come shortly. I will not elaborate all my thoughts about the biblical research done on this 1000 year reign into this blog, but suffice it to say there is another glorious age to come on a new Earth down here. It is apparent in Isaiah 11: 6-9 and again in Isaiah 65: 18-25 that there will be life, love and procreation during this time of unprecedented peace. I am not sure our role as transfigured saints, but I am excited about the next chapter of this glorious eternal life as we emerge from the cocoon of mortality into the transcendence of the unending.

Daughters

 God's heart is continually grieved for you His little one as you struggle for purpose and acceptance and have only found one failed path after another. The enemy of your soul has convinced you that this life is about settling, selling yourself, and false safety, and The LORD says risk it all for something and someone far greater and that someone is Me. (Yeshua) You have put on the face of the imposter because the world has told you that youth and the beauty that you behold in the mirror-mirror are the only real means to avoid rejection, but The Lord says your true beauty is your precious God-Breathed spirit. At points shame has so overtaken you that denial was your only companion, and so you have taken his hollow hand and remained. God’s Heart is for you to move, flourish, live and live free! Grace covers every stain of your fragile soul, and God does not impute sin to those that have faith, believe and desire to live free from the garbage that this life, other people, and the darkness of this world that has attempted to seize us all with from our youth.

 Romans 4: 7-8

“Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven,
  and whose sins are covered;
⁸ Blessed Is the man (woman) to whom the Lord shall not impute sin.”

You are covered, cherished and loved my child, and God’s mercies are from everlasting to everlasting. The medications of ill-motivated attention, superfluous attractions, and false beautifications will never fill your vacuum of your heart that desires daughter-ship with Abba. You know in your heart that the world around us is full of lies as you sense it in your zealousness to protect your own children, and yet the deception you so rigorously fight to protect them from engulfs you at times, and again you embrace rejection as truth. There is no shame, guilt, burden, or spirit that can keep you from the depths of God’s love.

Ephesians 3:14-21

14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— 19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

 So live in Truth and Light my elegant and stunning beauty, as you are the exquisite pinnacle of my creation.….. Remember I made you as the finale of the creation of this extraordinary age, and if I made you the crowning jewel of the entire universe how much more do I love you…. even unto death. Don’t be distracted by the atmosphere of this world, but be overcome by Jesus’ Love, compassion, and Grace. (The LORD Says) Don’t settle my love for anything less than the authentic romance that only comes from the Heart of God overflowing the balconies of Heaven to immerse the Daughters of men.
