Who Are You Kidding Trying to maintain a semblance of a clean and Godly way of life, we tend to compare by looking on the surface instead of the actual character from inside. What a religious spirit will do to a person starts in our own selfish pride. Man has natural tendencies to self promote [...]
Get up and Get Dressed In Romans where it is urging us to not be slothful, it actually tells us to get up and get dressed in Christ. The words truth, righteousness, peace, faith and salvation are more than words. In Ephesians 6:11 it says that we must put on the full armor of God. [...]

I did a short word study on ”sharing”. Then I read in Hebrews 13 about the act of sharing, and what I find is an unselfish act, not claiming privilege with an insider attitude. It is totally opposite. It takes a road of humbleness on the outside among the market place and common people.
The Upper Room Just as the sacrifices of atonement in old days where the blood sacrifice was not done in the temple, it was done outside the city gates. As did Jesus the Messiah, He died and gave His life outside the city, and shed His blood for all mankind. Let us take our place with Jesus, outside the walls of the church and temples of religion. Let us be the temple in the streets of the city and in the marketplace pouring out a sacrifice upon our lips of praise and thanksgiving for His Grace and Lovingkindness! I see this city with no walls of bondage and shackels of bitterness, preferring one another instead of self, meeting every need. A city of praise and of worship with no boundries too high to reach and no cause too great to meet. It will take great humility and great love to burst through boundries that have been set in the past. It will take greater hunger for righteousness than ever before, but Holy Spirit can and is changing the hearts of man. The shaking of the church is just as tremendous as the birth pains that the earth is showing forth in Japan, and the mindset is going to change just as how the tsunami vastly changed the complection of the land. Washing all the debree of religious mindsets clean and returning the heart of man to God.
The hearts of the children to the fathers and the fathers to the children.
The days ahead are not going to be easy, but they are going to be powerful and the Bride will arise in the street, and many will be saved!
Hebrews 13:15-16 (The Message)
Let’s take our place outside with Jesus, no longer pouring out the sacrificial blood of animals but pouring out sacrificial praises from our lips to God in Jesus’ name.
16Make sure you don’t take things for granted and go slack in working for the common good; share what you have with others. God takes particular pleasure in acts of worship—a different kind of “sacrifice”—that take place in kitchen and workplace and on the stree2 Corinthians 5:5 (The Message)

Once you have tasted the love of the Father, the compassion of the Son, and the touch of fire from the Holy Spirit, anything of this world is so trivial! It is understandable to hear someone call for Him to come soon to take them out from this turmoil and pain of the world. A little like getting only two licks from a double dip ice cream cone and giving away the rest.
The Upper Room
Man, you had thoughts of finishing it all the way to the last morsel, but you saw that it would make someone else happy. If you like ice cream, you can relate, if you don’t, think up another senario. Might I just throw a curve into your religious mind? We should not want to check out until our race has run! Being with our Father for all eternity will be most awesome, but to finish our race of what we have been called to run should be intense enough to break the boredom of worldly deceptions. He gave the perfect example by sending Jesus to complete the task before Him completely, or we would be in sad hopelessness. Walking in Faith with the dynomite power of the Holy Spirit clearing the way for us and empowering us with supernatural dreams, visions, wisdom and all spiritual blessings should make us wake up with fire in our bones! I have a great idea, let us get down with the Message of the Kingdom and one day before you know it, He will come and you will get caught being a doer and not just a hearer! He will be so proud!
Come on Bride, Wake Wake Wake uuuuuuuuppppppppppp!
2 Corinthians 5:5 (The Message)
The Spirit of God whets our appetite by giving us a taste of what’s ahead. He puts a little of heaven in our hearts so that we’ll never settle for less.

JESUS Was AFFLICTED.
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
Romans 5:8
We yearn and worship and cry out for more of His presence, saying all the while that we are tired of religion and old school churchy ways. God breezes through our midst and sometimes we don’t see Him coming or hear what He is trying to say to us. May it be that we are so consumer driven? We show up for the events and the mountain top moments of blessings, get lost in the moment then go down the road to the next big action going down?
The Upper Room
This walking by Faith thing is serious and must take more commitment from us than ever explained to us. Or so it seems. Faith comes by hearing the Word (Jesus) of God, so it says. So hearing scripture, verbalizing scripture, believing scripture, reading scripture, singing scripture, painting scripture, meditating scripture. Every other creative way to get it in and hidden in your heart may be very important! So here we are, commited, fired up to a boiling point for the presence of God to become powerful witnesses. To the world, nations, our neighborhood streets while helping the homeless, widows, orphans, etc. We cry out for Justice and causes we stand and fight for.The things in this wicked world where turmoil and unrest are everywhere, tend to reveal our weakness. They become evident and accomplishments can go only so far by all efforts we can muster, but then we start to realize how powerless we are in our flesh. Even with the knowledge of the scriptures, it carries us by the hand only so far without the empowerment of God by the Holy Spirit.
The original disciples walked and talked face to face with Jesus and still did not get it. Jesus also told them to go to Jerusalem and wait until they were empowered. The neighborhoods and the nations and to the ends of the earth were going to require the hand of God.
After crying out for His presence for so long, don’t be so shocked that He stands ready to do just that. We need the power of God just as much now as we did when we first came to Him for salvation. Empty the junk! Make room! Clean your vessel!
Repentance, yes that John the Baptist proclamation to the world, still does us wonders! Lay some junk at the foot of the cross and make room for the power of God to fill you to overflowing. Then your witness will become a mighty powerful act of God in the earth. Then what follows your steps will not be a wake of destruction and weakness, it will be a mighty, lifegiving sign of a changed life. True change in a persons life will reflect where the change comes from, may it be for God or the devil. So today, if you want a for- real impact in your day to day walk of faith, be real with Him!
Get hooked up with the Family of God and learn what the true Bride of Christ has got going on. Get committed!

Colossians 3:12-17 (The Message)
12-14So, chosen by God for this new life of love, dress in the wardrobe God picked out for you: compassion, kindness, humility, quiet strength, discipline. Be even-tempered, content with second place, quick to forgive an offense. Forgive as quickly and completely as the Master forgave you. And regardless of what else you put on, wear love. It’s your basic, all-purpose garment. Never be without it.
15-17Let the peace of Christ keep you in tune with each other, in step with each other. None of this going off and doing your own thing. And cultivate thankfulness. Let the Word of Christ—the Message—have the run of the house. Give it plenty of room in your lives. Instruct and direct one another using good common sense. And sing, sing your hearts out to God! Let every detail in your lives—words, actions, whatever—be done in the name of the Master, Jesus, thanking God the Father every step of the way.
