Worship is who I am... it's more than a song, it's a lifestyle.
Who we are is not defined by what we do.
"For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another" Galatians 5:13
God, I just need you... There is not one thing worth doing for even one second if You're not in it and leading the way.. I do not know, but only You, Lord, know it all.. teach me Holy Spirit, I want to be Your resting place...
"in the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words" Romans 8:26
I submit my eyes, my ears, my touch, my nose and my mouth to You. I surrender my mind and my heart to You God.. Teach me, lead me to Your Heart ♥
"Your words were found and I ate them, and Your words became for me a joy and the delight of my heart; I have been called by Your name, O Lord God of hosts" Jeremiah 15:16
Not by my design but by Your Divine assignment I live. I will seek Your Face and bathe in You until my heart is aligned with Yours. I will wait with joy and longing...I am so in love with You!
Consecration
We have authority over that which are not afraid of.
Suddenly, a violent storm arose on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves. But He was sleeping... He said to them, "Why are you fearful, you of little faith?" Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea. And there was a great calm... (Matthew 8:24..26 HCSB)
What if we became aware of the prayers that God has already answered and we were to operate from a place of abundance rather than a place of poverty...?
undo me God.
unravel me.
break me.
consume me.
own me.
Lord our God, thank You for the 'Jonathan' You brought into my life!
I refuse to accept or agree with anything short of His Love
God, why do we agree to be stressed and frustrated when the life that You've called us to is so simple? I plead for our hearts that are confused. We put forth our best efforts to design our existence and we justify it with dissected truths. We rationalize our anguish, iniquities, and infirmities because we don't comprehend the totality of Your Love. I seek You and search You until my heart understanding is aligned and in tune with Your Word. I pray, Lord God in Heaven, to enter into an endless experience of You, that blesses everyone around me. Holy Spirit, reveal to us the depths of Your Truth - penetrate us and consume us like fire so that we may simply be defined by Your Love - in Jesus name ♥
He puts something so big, so powerful in us (and in front of us) that despite ourselves (and our situation/circumstance), we can only endure and pursue His Plan, Purpose, and His Heart's desire.
Jesus is an optometrist.. and His Blood is our corrective wear. (it also happens to be our protective wear)
Is it not summer just because it's raining? ..we are wise to dress according to the weather, but we still know what season we're in..
Upon conception, a covenant was established between me and each of my children (my creation). It endures every imaginable thing and cannot be broken.
We are made in the likeness and image of God - to represent or model Him and His Nature. (Genesis 1:26-27)
So then, if we portray and exhibit God, how much stronger and how much greater is the covenant between us and God that was established upon our conception - His Creation...
The truth is: God is always good. ♥
God IS for us and God IS with us - not just sometimes... ALL the time, in EVERY single moment, thru ALL things. Through Jesus Christ it is accomplished.
See INTO the Glory, the Victory. In your wildest imagination - go there - what does Triumph look like? Move forward in THAT picture.
"..if God is for us, who is against us? He did not even spare His own Son but offered Him up for us all; how then will He not also with Him grant us everything?...Who can separate us from the love of Christ?..." Romans 8:31-39
We need to let go of some things so God can give us some things...
We can perceive how big and bad the enemy is (it's within our comprehension, which is why we focus there).. but we cannot perceive how Great and how Huge God is (He is beyond our comprehension - without measure) so we've lost touch with our IMAGEination. We don't see what we don't see.
I pray for the supernatural to become our natural.
If you're dealing with something, then you've been equipped for it.
Peace isn't the absence of something... It's the Presence.
We don't need to know what the end result is (to the problem we face)...just that there is an end result and that it is good - in Your Name.
I do not want to remain normal.
It has all been nailed to the cross... ALL of it.
Insecurities, past/present (even future) pain, struggles, fear, pride, gain..and loss. Jesus took it all. ♥
This Truth sets us free into Kingdom reality.
Do we dare pursue it?
I am righteous, I have peace, I have access to grace, I have hope in the glory of God - all this thru Jesus by faith (Romans 5:1-2)
I am saved - God gave me this gift - I am created, I am His creation, I have an assignment (Eph 2:8-10)
I am saved through His mercy, I am washed, by the Holy Spirit I am renewed (Titus 3:5-8)
God's opinion of me is clear.
Other peoples' opinion of me does not matter.
My opinion of me is wrong if it doesn't line up with His opinion. ♥
My efforts are futile... His efforts are final.
Details don't reveal the truth of a thing.
Lord God, thank You for continuously confronting me with Truth so that I might grow deeper in You. Your love and Your grace consumes me and overwhelms me... I just can't breathe without You. Break me open, all the way. Expose me that I may know the fullness of Your goodness and glory. Open my eyes that I might see what You see. I rely alone on Your revelation and Your wisdom. For You and in You I live. You alone are God. Good. Right. Perfect. ♥
God, I look to You to define me and refine me. In Christ alone I search for my reflection and perception.
Without true revelation, which comes only by the Spirit, we are ignorant in and of ourselves, not even aware of our own heart or deepest desires.
Come, Holy Spirit, come. ♥
I know every thought you have before you think it, every move you make before its made. My Eye is on you in all things. Wherever you go I am there - fear not - there is no place I am not with you, there is nothing that scares Me. I am God. There is no place I won't go, all things I created - nothing is a surprise to Me.
We are intimate for I am your Maker - you are My Creation. There is no part of you I do not know. You once were formless, as was the earth. I made it and its story from beginning to end, as did I write all the days of your life. I am showing you your heart..cleansing, clarifying, refining.
You try to understand Me but My Thoughts surpass your capacity, but don't be frustrated - it's not up to you to be Me.

The Lord is my Shepard, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside still waters, He restores my soul. He leads me down paths of righteousness for His Name sake. Tho I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I fear no evil. Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies, Thou anointest my head with oil, my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever and ever. Amen
