The Lord God is the Lord of all…the Self-existent One who was and is and is to come. Many think of Him as the one to come in such a way that it is so far off or relegated to the very end of times. This is true but it isn’t the whole of Him. He has already come and He is ever in the state of coming to you and always will be. He is I AM and wherever He is, is always in a constant state of change…in a constant stage of creation…in a constant state of happening or being. His very person is Creation which in of itself relates to His ever state of coming to you in every aspect of your life.. He is constantly approaching, drawing near, moving toward you…constantly reaching out, stretching toward you to listen, drawing closer…constantly extending Himself to you, coming up to you or existing in the midst of your life. He is ever-present to look upon you. To be present is to exist or enter into someone’s thoughts or mind. He is ever-existing with you. Not only does He behold you but His thoughts are ever on you. Dear one, may your life be transformed by God's presence as you set your face to the ever-present beauty of His presence.
In God's loving grace,
Jerry, Corlina & Jo (your fellow servants and prayer partners in Christ!)
A short while ago, I posted the following as a bulletin. I believe it is self-explanatory:
THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS BURDENED ME -- AND BORNE WITNESS IN MY BODY -- TO CALL FOR A FAST AMONG BELIEVERS IN JESUS CHRIST, YESHUA HA MESHIACH, FOR THURSDAY, JANUARY 7, 2010, FROM MIDNIGHT TONIGHT TO MIDNIGHT TOMORROW NIGHT.
THIS FAST MEANS: *NO FOOD*!
THE PURPOSE OF THIS TIME OF FASTING AND PRAYER IS TWOFOLD:
1) TO PRAY CONCERNING THE LORD'S RETURN 2) INTERCESSORY PRAYER AS THE HOLY SPIRIT BURDENS YOU, INDIVIDUALLY.
THE LORD HAS BURDENED ME TO PRAY CONCERNING ALL OF YOU THROUGH THE FAST. I DON'T KNOW YET WHETHER I WILL BE ONLINE OR OFFLINE; THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS NOT CLARIFIED THAT YET.
THIS IS A CRITICAL CONDITIONING EXERCISE! DON'T MISS IT!
MIDNIGHT TO MIDNIGHT IS ACCORDING TO YOUR OWN TIME ZONE, WHEREVER IN THE WORLD YOU ARE. IF YOU LEARN OF THIS FAST AFTER IT HAS ALREADY STARTED, FAST FOR TWENTY FOUR HOURS FROM THAT POINT ONWARD. THE ANOINTING IS IN THE LOVING, AND THE LOVING IS IN THIS CALL; IT WILL BE PRESERVED IN THE MEDIUM OF THE INTERNET.
STRONG, STRONG QUICKENING AS I PREPARE TO POST THIS.
God's mercy endures forever. His mercy is ever ready to relieve you of your fallen condition and all its outcomes. His mercy knew you would sin and will sin and provided a way to forgo punishment. It is true that He rains on the just and the unjust and this is mercy. However, there is a mercy which is sovereign. This sovereign mercy He gives to you and all the heirs of salvation as a covenant bought by the blood Christ. Never belittle this mercy by self-justification when He paid such a great price. Always be quick to repent and never make excuses for your behavior. Remember, all have sinned and come short of His glory. Never give way to self-justification and forgo mercy. He opposes the proud and gives grace to the humble. When a heart walks in rebellion it believes in its own preeminence and cannot expect mercy. When a heart realizes its guilt before a holy God and pleads for mercy, leaving behind all excuses and self-justification it receives mercies immeasurable. To trust in God is to know first and foremost that He is merciful. When you know this, pride cannot hold sin close to your heart. Excuses appeal to justice hoping for a good outcome without giving up self-defense of the heart. Admitting guilt and then repenting appeals to His mercy. He is a God of patience and He is gracious to you. He waits, always ready to extend compassion. Today He is pouring showers of mercy, and enabling you to let go of anything left over in your heart from times of being wronged by others or your own falling short. Receive it in Jesus name. In God's grace,Jerry, Corlina &
GOD DIVIDED THE LIGHT FROM THE DARKNESS. Genesis 1:4
Light might well be good since it sprang from that fiat of goodness, "Let there be light." We who enjoy it should be more grateful for it than we are, and see more of God in it and by it. Light physical is said by Solomon to be sweet, but gospel light is infinitely more precious, for it reveals eternal things, and ministers to our immortal natures. When the Holy Spirit gives us spiritual light, and opens our eyes to behold the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ, we behold sin in its true colors, and ourselves in our real position; we see the Most Holy God as He reveals Himself, the plan of mercy as He propounds it, and the world to com as the Word describes it. Spiritual light has many beams and prismatic colors, but whether must the essential light be, and how glorious must be the place where He reveals Himself. O Lord, since light is so good, give us more of it, and more of Yourself, the true light.
No sooner is there a good thing in the world, than a division is necessary. Light and darkness have no communion; God has divided them, let us not confound them. Sons and Daughter of light must not have fellowship with deed, doctrines, or deceits of darkness. The children of the day must be sober, honest, and bold in their Lord's work, leaving the works of darkness to those who shall dwell in it forever. Our Churches should by discipline divide the light from the darkness, and we should by our distinct separation from the world do the same. In judgment, in action, in action, in hearing, in teaching, in association, we must discern between the precious and the vile, and maintain the great distinction which the Lord made upon the world's first day. O Lord Jesus, you should be our light throughout the whole of this day, for Your light is the light of men. GOD BLESS YOU.
Hope you have a wonderful New Year in 2010 and I'm glad we are friends. Be the best you can be this upcoming year, hold your loved ones close and help someone that needs it, you'll be blessed more than you could ever imagine!
{Heb 12:2} looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Jesus Himself has said, in Hebrews 13:5 "I will never leave you nor forsake you."
Looking away from all that will distract us to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith giving the first incentive for our belief and for the joy of obtaining the prize that was set before Him. So our trials and troubles we go through lets count them to be Joy and always remember what our Lord Jesus did for us, all the trials and troubles He went through he count them to be Joy..
The trees of the fields clap their hands in jubilant praise, in anticipation of things to come. God watches over His Word to perform it. Every Word spoken to and over your life is in His hands and they will not return void. God is opening your eyes to see beyond the stars into the heart of THE ONE who adores you. He is giving you HIS hope, HIS endurance, HIS patience, and most of all, HIS faith! He hasn't forgotten one promise or one dream He has planted in your heart. Let it be done according to His spoken and written word. He is releasing HIS word today, bringing about the victory you have so longed for. He is releasing HIS Word to you right now this moment and is saying, “Open up O’ eyes of My beloved, open and see. Open up O’ gates of your heart. The question in your eyes and heart are answered today with yes and amen. Yes and amen to the dreams and promises He has birthed in your heart.” “Do not detour with a heart of unbelief for it always causes problems. Do not let the enemy say, “Hath God Said?” He is a liar and the father of all lies Have faith in God. Have HIS faith. Open up your heart and HE will fill it with faith. Is anything too wonderful or impossible for God? No! Amen and Amen! In God's marvelous grace,
Dear Beloved Sister DeEtta, We the BRIDE are waiting for our BRIDEGROOM. This time of waiting is meant to be a glorious time of making ourselves ready, of rich joy in immersing ourselves in what it means to wait upon the Lord. Andrew Murray (1828-1917) wrote a wonderful thirty-one-day set of devotions on WAITING ON GOD, posted on line for free. Some time ago, I wrote a review called "More than Watchmen" (titled for Psalm 130:6) on that book. May God RICHLY BLESS YOU in this time of waiting, my beloved! ~Kimberly ~ Rhuomai
A New Year is like an ocean. There will be untested winds & waves. We'll meet ships we never knew, & we'll have all kinds of opportunities as we sail into an uncharted sea. In our quest to discover the good life this year, we must be careful that we do not drift into an aimless life.
The worst thing that could happen is that we just let this year happen to us rather than charting a course and getting into God's appointed harbor. Don't let yourself drift. Be anchored in His Word & His ways.

Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD, and is calling for our closing out this year and bringing in the new with a focus on Isaiah, beginning to end, to serenade Him with songs of praise, even as the LORD our God covers us with songs of deliverance. Hearken, children, to the voice of the LORD.
