Time and Eternity Part 2

I believe we can seek the Lord like Jesus, seeked God he did it like he was looking for rain, he went on a journey to high places and prayed. If we did that we would find God like Jesus. Mike Bickle says that the context of seeking God's face in scripture is when we seek him and continue seeking him till we find him. A man looking someone at the door, knock several time and waits where he can find him. Find him in your mind and seek his face there and let the Holy Spirit move inside of you. You can find God that way. Keep seeking him till you know it is him and abide with him, to abide with him is to see the connection of God and stay with him. Get the flow of God and let yourself be centered that way. I want you to see him on a daily basis that will make you strong in the LORD. He will show you the way, love him abundantly.

It rained again

Shortly after it rained, it rained again. We will get a spiritual flood when we ask or a sign.(see the posts from last week) It won't be like the days of Noah where it floods the whole earth. God will give signs of his son when we ask him for one enough. We will get praise and worship for our king as we ask relationally for things. Paint a picture and you may get a message. It is very good to do things for the LORD because we love him.

Looking to him

Looking to him is important. He wants everything. God loves you, it is a strong love. He is your partner and when things are stressed you look to him. When things are good you look to him. When you need encouragement you look to him. We keep our life centered on the Lord. When we do that things will be better. If you set your path to be like the Lord, he can help you more. In all things we look to him for comfort, for strength; for that helping hand to get to our next level. I want you to know him; he is soooo good. 

Live a life to the calling of God whatever it be. He will sustain you.

When life is boring he gives you more life. He fills the gap and gives you more than you asked for.

It rained.

It rained, after I wrote the last message, it started to form clouds after I wrote this. God is good now we see life. It is pretty good to know him where he does stuff for us just to make it even better.

Now to connect with God. It is his sign for us. God comes in things sometimes we have to see what he is doing in the season. Be open to his messages it's not figment of your imagination. God works through many people and you have to see the patterns and character of God as you see what he is working through, whether it is the rain or not.

In the flow of God speaking you see what he is like over the years. You just know it is him, he does some things so subtlely sometimes and have to pick up on what he does. He is a life giving God and wants you to have life. This flow is picked up by other Christians and we just see him working and getting the same thing. It is like a frequency and over time you develop your tools to observe his work.
It's subtle but beautiful.

Time and Eternity

Time is a fickle thing. It seems we are never given enough of it and to Paul it is evil. As things decay through the years we must remember we are meant for a purpose. God gives us a purpose, to simply glorify him. As we reach out that purpose becomes more and more defined as we find ourselves in him. He gives legs and arms to your work. Whether it be something we planned or not. Let the lord build you up and give you revelation. I can see if we wait like God waits( 1 Kings 18:42-45) we will see more life in our life as we wait it and take it in. 

1 Kings 18:42-45:

And Elijah said to Ahab, "Go,eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy rain." So Ahab went off to eat and drink, but Elijah climbed to the top of Carmel, bent down to the ground and put his face between his knees.

42 "Go and look toward the sea, he told his servant. And he went up and looked.

"There is nothing there," he said.

Seven times Elijah said, "Go back."

The seventh time the servant reported, "A cloud as small as a man's hand is rising from the sea."

So Elijah said, "Go and tell Ahab, 'Hitch up your chariot and go down before the rain stops you.'"

45 Meanwhile, the sky grew black with clouds, the wind rose, a heavy rain come and Ahab rode off to Jezreel. (New International Version)

Wait till the seventh time and you will get your rain in drought. The question of this is do we wait on God this way. Wait till the seventh time do we hear Go.

Look to Christ Jesus for life, he will give it to you abundantly. We wait till all the other things has passed in our mind and we seek his face in our mind. Then the still small voice comes and we are given such joy.  

So wait like God this is found biblically in 1 Kings 19:11-12: 

11 The Lord said, "Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the LORD, for the LORD is about to pass by."

Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave.

Then a voice said to him, "What are you doing here, Elijah? (New International Version)

Wait pass the earthquake, wind, and fire to the still small voice.  Wait till the seventh time and you will get the still small voice. Believe Jesus and repent for you never know when eternity starts for you. Enter a relationship with him and he will start to transform your life in many ways to help you along this life's journey. Seek the Lord's face in your mind and wait till you hear the still small voice. That's seeking his face and keep seeking it.

God bless you.

God wants you real

I am amazed by the Lord's work that he does in each of us. He happens to have the best for us, he constantly works on us including to be real with him. It is powerful how he moves. The Lord wants real relationship with us and to not be fake. Don't worry what he thinks all he wants is a contrite heart and intimacy from us. It is important to know that he takes the falsehood out of us and makes it work for us. He is patient to work in us and helps us through to our next level. Deeply see Christ as he is and love him for who he is. His thoughts are better than your thoughts, his ways are better than your ways. Love what he thinks, grow with it. I want you to see his ways and thoughts as for you and not against you. Accept him, don't be fake with him, be real.

Christian Goths

When we look at Christ becoming a part of a clique of friends, he becomes all things to them to win a few. We try to add him to our group the best we can. As Christians Christ becomes all things to win over to himself even though we don't know his skin color Jesus knows he becomes all things. So don't tear down statues of him. They are freedom of expression, his image is expressed differently all over the world. It's art and expression, I'm sure they never meant to offend for a white statue. Tear it down and it's one less expression taken from the world. Think about it like that. Jesus is all powerful he can be any color to express himself.

Taking Communion Every Day

I know that taking communion every time you can is a spiritual impartation and God blesses it. We read in scripture that and Joseph Prince is known for quoting 1 Corinthians 11:27-30. Many testimonies have been brought in to him accounting taking communion everyday makes you healthier.  I believe this to be true. I have felt windows from heaven opening over my health.As in the tithe with the windows of finance the windows of health is there too. It is good to take the Lord's supper. He will rebuke the devourer and make the Lord work for your health.

Hear the Word of the Lord

The word of the :) LORD
I the Lord am a smiling God. I give my children good thinking thoughts. I am awesome in my ways, creative and loving am I. With the Lord you are brought to knee. Ready and willing are you.I look to my sons and daughters for life. May you have it abundantly/joyfully. Every day I look for you in the dew of the morning search for you to the utmost parts of heaven. I look to a fro throughout the earth seeking you. I know where you are and what you are like. I long for the days of Adam when you were with me in the dew of the morning. I had you. It was beautiful/cunning to see you. I look into my heartt and see you. I miss the days of before. I miss you most. I'm making a point to loove you all at once. You are one with me. I look in the future and see all the wonderful things that were made. I knew/know you could do it.
How farrr you have come. I see my wrath absolved on the garden. What new things have come. I miss you. You are good.

Love like you mean it

Philip preaches to many

Righteousness covers our work

It is important to him to do things for Christ. When the Sabbath rolls around we are magnifying his Holiness. No work is too small or too big. The thing with this is God gives us grace to 'just be.' We have to think in holiness becoming us. We also think that work is done on the cross. We carry these two measures walking with the Lord. We do have great grace when it comes to these things. God measures our grace by the work of the grace-filled cross. God is our example. We don't need to worry about the Sabbath, God's grace is sufficient for us. For the work of the Lord is done through the cross. Any extra works are counted as credit before the Lord. Mediate you are the righteousness of God and God always works. Rest and enjoy the day, let him be with you all day. Be about holy things on these days and walk with him throughout your day. Don't take it as a work buy good things about the cross. He loves you don't worry if you got everything right. Be about the cross. Carry your cross to the ocean and see what he does with it. He fills you up with joy as you talk about good things God does. God loves you. Walk with him and keep your eyes focused on him. He calls you on the journey towards him.

Majesty

The Definition of Majesty by the Oxford dictionary

1. Impressive stateliness, dignity, or beauty

2. Royal Power 

When we use our authority we have Royal Power from heaven. We grow in stateliness, dignity and beauty.

We have his beauty his dignity his stateliness. It was given at the cross. We can rule the world with new authority. God gives us so much by the cross and his wounds. He is victor over death and the grave and he sits on high with full majesty. No one outdoes his kingship. He is high and exalted above all the earth. Don't worry about anything with the Holy Spirit we can express the fullness of authority. I have seen it with my own eyes and I can say we live greatly with the Lord. He is great. Magnify his name.

God is cool, but we need grace

I don't normally talk about coolness. But one lesson I learned from is he is cool enough on his own without trying too hard to make him cool. Coolness is an abstraction and we shouldn't use it to control people. That's manipulation, just be yourself your cool enough. God wants to treat you well, when he improves you he is moving you towards a blessed life. He is a good teacher, he doesn't manipulate us. Your never too cool for God or not enough coolness, he made you and his coolness remains at 100 percent.  He has everything to make him cool and he is so self-sufficient to carry any weight. He is a hero and he saves people from destruction. He knows who you are and wants to draw it out of you. He's good real good. He deserves worship he is so good. So be you and worship the Savior he deserves all the praise. Dr. Jo Vitale says, "we are meaning-seeking creatures," we need meaning and we find real coolness through humility towards our savior which causes grace. We need to be like sons and daughters to God, we don't need coolness or materialism. We need grace. God is cool like that. He can train us in favor if we need it.

When you hear his call

The Lord is truly a loving savior. He has a still small voice and works gently to help your soul. When we pursue him in the word he voices that and he is real with you and comes to life in the pages. One thing you want to meet his call look for ways to communicate with him.  Reading his word openly it helps you build your communication and boldness. It works even better if you read it out loud. Let the word permeate your soul and mouth. Let it bring you to life and leave a passionate fire in your heart. Saturate your mediation with God's word and prayer. Pray out loud in your room to help your expression. The Lord loves to hear a man in frevent prayer. Talk to others about God to help your relationship in him. Let your heart be full of inspiration when you feel the fire of God worship and express yourself. Write your thoughts in a journal. Build your gifts for God's good work. Use your gifts and explore what God has in mind for a ministry. Let him lead and have faith.

Epiphany

I know some think I am going to write about 'Epiphanies,' but something I found out that the definition of an epiphany found in the Oxford dictionary is a noun giving the revealing of Christ to the gentile to the Magi. I find this neat because our definition comes of Christ. We can get epiphanies from him. God is always the way for revelation. God makes it man's revelation him. We can't have anything without him. God builds our skill and inspires us to the next level. He will build for you great things when we work with his people. The Lord looks and sees what he can do with upright leaders. 

H E    G I V E S    I M A G I N A T I O N. 

H E  S O L V E  O U R  P R O B L E M S!

HE  W O N ' T   L E A D  U S  A S T R A Y.

He lives!

Everything the Lord does is good and profitable to us. He made the cross a banner for us to walk beside. God set everything into motion. God made it all for us. Jesus is a glory to us. The man that walked out of hell into heaven and said "I live so others may live too." Then awoke on earth to tell us the good news. He lives and we can be apart of his resurrection. We can partake in his sacrifice not by suffering but his implantation that our bodies fully changed in through the Holy Spirit. He lives for us to carry out his gospel to every place. God will give us more than we think.
The Holy Spirit is the ultimate thing to have it fills us with new joys unimaginable by the unbeliever. It is worth the belief. So believe in him and take his Holy Spirit. It a new found joy that doesn't fade. It is an everlasting joy and the sting of death is gone. I want to you tell Jesus, I believe you please give me your Holy Spirt. Recieve God and let him transform you to life.

Craving for the Lord

I have found some new things in life I wanted to pursue. With anything the experts say you need to put in 10,000 hours. As Yahoo says:

10000 hours to be an expert

ronitbaras.com

• As Malcolm Gladwell discussed in his bestseller, “ Outliers “, to become an expert it takes 10000 hours (or approximately 10 years) of deliberate practice. But deliberate practice is a specifically defined term. It involves goal setting, quick feedback, and countless drills to improve skills with an eye on mastery.

Build your drive

So you need to build a drive for yourself to be an expert, inspire yourself look at content that makes you an expert. You can get further by a few hours of reading, practicing, intentful study. I find this a highly successful way of doing something is find something inspirational towards your goal. 

My goal in my study of computer language didn't come about till I finished other things in the process of making a book that I have to build a better website. I keep seeing a use for the skill coming up in my life that I decided to take this next year and become an expert in a few computer languages. It is important to set goals and go for your goal.

Set your home page on a very good site that makes you inspire and learn and you can become an expert easier.

The Lord likes you to become an expert of him. Sure not all of us do everything a supposed expert does and it is not about a religion but a relationship. But the Lord wants you to learn of him. One thing we keep in mind is not to make an idol out of our expertise. The Lord respects passion and he surely well put that passion in you. It is when strife and jealousy come about that you may consider that your passion is not a passion but an obsession. When it becomes an obsession we may become annoying with it. That is when you may want to focus on something else. When our closest friends turn way to our hobbies we need to consider what the Lord says. We should always consider the Lord, he is better to lead us in our passions. He fixes the closest friendships and helps you consider things better. Our craving isn't gluttony.
