The Sacrifice of Praise

I am humbled when I go to the Word of God and let Him reveal the truth of the Gospel of the Kingdom. Jesus didn’t miss a beat from His Fathers heart. Even all the way through to His death He was obiedient, not to take advantage of His diety. Up until Jesus came and fullfilled the law and brought relationship back to man, sacrifices were made only by the priests. The animals were slaughtered outside the gates, then their blood was brought into the altar for atonement of the people for one more year.

Once Jesus came, He set the religious world and doctrine on it’s head and change took place and was made complete once and for all time. His body and flesh was beaten and crucified outside the gates of the city on a hill overlooking the city. His body laid to rest in a borrowed tomb. His blood flowed completly to the altar of God for sacrifice and complete propitiation of man, woman, and child. For all who would believe on Him as the Christ, so we would have life with Him.

Can there be anything that we could bring to the altar which could make up an adequate sacrifice for what we have done in our life, that would atone for our sins against God? Impossible by all our standards would be us trying to create a method or doctrine of a new religion making us good enough. As we would try to widen the path to God, believing false doctines and deceptions of, anyone and everyone is going to make it to God.

There can be no sacrifice that will take the place of what Jesus the Christ made for mankind!

We can sing great gospel hymns, scripture songs, while we gather in our churches, temples and gatherings. *Until we have revelation come alive inside us as to what the blood of Jesus Christ did for us, we are as a banging symbol, making noise to be heard and seen by man.

When the connection gets switched to the on position and comes to be alive in you, praise and worship comes into a whole different realm. Yes, we can choose to keep the flame unseen or dampened to low key, but how frustrating it is to know how close His touch is and to hold back from Him. To step into the presence of God in pure attitude of Love and thanksgiving, that is truely being set free.

The blood, which is life from God given unselfishly by His son Jesus is poured into you, it is the blood of Christ in you that makes you  want to give praise. *A Sacrifice of Praise, the Deep calling out to Deep!

At this point, you may be standing, sitting, dancing, shouting, weeping, laying prostrate on the ground, whatever it looks like for you no one but you can know this. Whatever it looks like for you, you will not care about others watching and wondering how crazy you are. This type of worship is something , if you ever taste it you will yearn to go there more like David.

Let Jesus Christ (the word of God) shower you with His Love and anoint you with revelation of the blood, and true freedom in the Spirit of God!

Blessings

Christians in South Korea Demand Japan’s Action

At a rally in central Seoul to mark the anniversary of the end of Japanese colonial rule, tens of thousands of South Korean Christians demanded on Sunday that Japan officially nullify a 1910 accord to annex the Korean peninsula. It is estimated that the event drew about 150,000 people while organisers claimed one million Christians took part in rallies and prayer services nationwide. Historians say a pro-Japanese government in Seoul was forced to sign the accord to help Japan annex the peninsula in 1910 until its World War II defeat in 1945. “We declare the 1910 accord invalid and want the Japanese government to clarify its official position about this,” the Christians said in a statement.  Naoto Kan, Prime Minister of Japan, offered an apology for Japan’s past actions, and is working to build stronger ties with South Korea.

A Single Victorious Stroke of Life Freed us All

Sin is what holds the fear of death in it’s hand over mankind. Unchecked lifestyle with no accountability is what leads to living with a mask on. Masquerading to be something we are not only sometimes fools a fool, but trying to fool God is sincerely being deceived. The accuser is what keeps us in chains. Why not get rid of it now and go on. We are not taught too much about repentence in these days and times. Let me testify it is much easier to go to His Mercy for forgiveness and walk in freedom than carrying the burden around endlessly. It gets much heavier the longer you carry it. We almost believe it is our duty to carry out our own punishment. He is a God of Life Changers, from death into life is His language!
Wanting change in your life is ok, and He is all about doing that for us. Humble yourself before the Lord and He will be the lifter of your head, from being down and recluse to vibrant and alive again! Just let your heart shout out to God, Be with me Lord, Breath into me, forgive me, cleanse me from inside out!
If you ask of your Heavenly Father for a sweet crisp fruit, He won’t surprise you with bitter lemon. There will be a change of all changes when that trumpet blows for us, but learn how to live without the baggage now, today, and have some joy while you carry out your mission.
Be for real with Him, He wants to be real with you.
1 Corinthians 15:51 (The Message)
51-57But let me tell you something wonderful, a mystery I’ll probably never fully understand. We’re not all going to die—but we are all going to be changed. You hear a blast to end all blasts from a trumpet, and in the time that you look up and blink your eyes—it’s over. On signal from that trumpet from heaven, the dead will be up and out of their graves, beyond the reach of death, never to die again. At the same moment and in the same way, we’ll all be changed. In the resurrection scheme of things, this has to happen: everything perishable taken off the shelves and replaced by the imperishable, this mortal replaced by the immortal. Then the saying will come true:
Death swallowed by triumphant Life!
Who got the last word, oh, Death?
Oh, Death, who’s afraid of you now?
It was sin that made death so frightening and law-code guilt that gave sin its leverage, its destructive power. But now in a single victorious stroke of Life, all three—sin, guilt, death—are gone, the gift of our Master, Jesus Christ. Thank God!

Christian jewelry for all kinds of different reasons

People wear Christian jewelry for all kinds of different reasons. Some people wear it as a way to show their faith. Others wear it just because they like the particular design. It comes in many different forms; crosses, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, rings and just about anything that could be considered decorative. Often times, people who are Christian choose to wear Christian jewelry as a way to remind themselves to make good choices throughout the day. The best example of this is the WWJD, “What Would Jesus Do”, and Purity Jewelry.

Christian themed jewelry is a great gift idea for new Christians, being baptized, as confirmation presents, as first communion presents, also as wedding gifts, as gifts for church staff and for friends that are believers.  Christian jewelry is being worn of all kinds of reasons, and you never know when the message it sends will have an effect on the people who wear it or the people they come in contact with every day.

Lucky enough we have just what you are looking for in Christian Jewelry. Giving a truly unique gift will show that you have really put thought into it rather than buying the same old scarf or gloves or candy.

Nothing But The Blood Christian T-Shirt

Nothing But The Blood Christian T-Shirt

“Grace and peace to you from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits[a] before his throne, 5and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth.”

Revelation 1:5

Heart of the Artist : behind the design
Everyone knows the classic hymn that asks us this very question. We always respond with the lyric that follows, but never really think deeper. The un-churched may ask how can blood be used to clean something? To some it is both strange and somewhat disturbing. That is until you explain about your own filthy heart and the cleansing power of Christ’s death. I hope someone asks you about this one.

Many purposes for Jewelry

There are many purposes know the use of jewelry…  Only for beauty?  The answer is no.
The first is for decoration and beautification. Jewelry can decorate people, make them look more attractive and beautiful.
The second is for memorial significance.  For example, jewelry with a birthstone, an engagement ring, or wedding ring.
The third reason is for value, wether you own ordinary or genuine jewelry.  With social unrest, money might become worthless, but jewelry is eternal might be used as hard currency!  Jewelry is a viable option as an investment, jewelry with high-grade gems  is value-added and is very breathtaking, even ordinary jewelry will retain its value.
The fourth is worn as symbol.  Jewelry stands for riches and honor, elegance, or a firm belief in purity.  Wearing a Purity Ring represents the pure lifestyle that you have chosen, and stands as a symbol that reminds you of the promise you have made to live a pure life.

God’s way has changed our outlook for confidence

During hard times and desert moments when we seem to have lost focus, we must return to His Word to find assurance and truth.

There are many who are in transition, in between doing good and then to wake up realizing man dumped on us again. Hey I’m just speaking first hand experience from the last few years as it comes into retrospect. As long as you are seeking His will, you will find and unlock the mysteries if you seek the truth of the Word of God. Trying to put pieces together is futile when reasoning with your mind only. May I suggest setting aside reasoning and rekindle thanksgiving in your life? Getting past the hardship thinking and offenses to the point of falling in Love with what first burned inside you. For those of you reading this, if you will agree with me. “I break all false affection from man that has broken your stride in the Lord. I break all chains of disapointment and bondage of saddness that has come to set on your joy. I break all the deception of Satan concerning your mindset of defeat.” Now Lord Jesus I ask you to spark a fire for wanting your presence more in the life of those that agreed for this in their life.

I challange you to do whatever it takes to put yourself in His path, prayer, fasting, get teaching from people that are in the midst of God. Don’t settle for anything less everyday! Everyday! Your lamp needs to be full for the upcoming days. You will be used, if you are ready.

Hebrews 7:20-28 (The Message)

20-22The old priesthood of Aaron perpetuated itself automatically, father to son, without explicit confirmation by God. But then God intervened and called this new, permanent priesthood into being with an added promise:
God gave his word;
he won’t take it back:

“You’re the permanent priest.”  This makes Jesus the guarantee of a far better way between us and God—one that really works! A new covenant.

23-25 Earlier there were a lot of priests, for they died and had to be replaced. But Jesus’ priesthood is permanent. He’s there from now to eternity to save everyone who comes to God through him, always on the job to speak up for them.

26-28 So now we have a high priest who perfectly fits our needs: completely holy, uncompromised by sin, with authority extending as high as God’s presence in heaven itself. Unlike the other high priests, he doesn’t have to offer sacrifices for his own sins every day before he can get around to us and our sins. He’s done it, once and for all: offered up himself as the sacrifice. The law appoints as high priests men who are never able to get the job done right. But this intervening command of God, which came later, appoints the Son, who is absolutely, eternally perfect.
