Cause He’s My Best Friend

Are you old enough to remember the TV show the courtship of Eddies Father?
Ahh you missed it it was a very cute show about a Father and Son.
I Think about parts of it’s theme song and how they compare to the wonderful relationship between God and I, only I’m His daughter. Lol.
It goes like this:

People let me tell you ’bout my best friend
He’s a warm hearted person who’ll love me ’til the end
People let me tell you bout my best friend
He’s a one boy cuddly toy, my up, my down, my pride and joy

People let me tell you ’bout him he’s so much fun
Whether we’re talkin’ man to man or whether we’re talking son to son
‘Cause he’s my best friend
Yes he’s my best friend

Well if I had been a boy these lyrics would have been just right for me. But He loves His daughters equally. And by the way, He wants that kind of relationship with you today. Come on give your heart to Jesus and become the Father’s one joy cuddly toy.

Jeremiah 31:3

The LORD has appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved you with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn you

True Righteousness Burst Forth With Joy

You know why? Let me explain. Because when you are in right standing with God, there is nothing in between you and His presence Psalms 16:7. No dark clouds, no deceptive thoughts, no cares are worries, for great salvation Christ hath wrought. True righteousness believes the report of the Lord. And that pleases our God, Hebrews 11:6. So upon you is poured, the oil of joy, the oil of gladness. This strips away the affects of the curse which include sorrow and sadness.

Hebrews 1:9
Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows

Psalms 45:7 NIV

You love righteousness and hate wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy 

Heralding The Christ Child

The Angels spoke unto the shepherds that watched their flocks by night. They brought them good tidings of great joy. The Christ had been born. The one who would save all those who would come unto Him.

They were saying, “Glory to God in the highest, an on earth, peace and good will to men.” God extended Himself to us through the life and ministry of His son. All any need do, is to call upon the name of Jesus, and the revelation of salvation would be imparted. Would you have a Merry Christmas this year? 

Then embrace the Christ of Christmas 

In Bethlehem 

And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.

And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, 

Turn That Spotlight Around

You been serving the Lord with a zealous spirit, hear me, this word is for a few but all should hear it. Many rewards are awaiting you, yet darkness approaches, turn that spotlight now in your direction, the God of heaven sends you angelic protection. God is a fire from His loins up and down, that darkness won’t make you stumble, no just turn that light around. The emissaries of the darkness are afraid of that light, they will desist in their maneuvers they will cease in their fight. NO, you just continue to carry your candle, and Satan and his co-horts God will handle.

Gal. 3:29
And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Gen. 15:1
After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.

Across the Waters

The Bible speaks of “Waters,” as being symbolic of people. You can read a passage that speaks of one rising out of the sea. Meaning one emerging from the masses of people. When the waters are stirred up, there can come forth one who is moved on the winds of great violence. ( Hear me, strife stirs up the waters, thus giving the enemy an opportunity to cause one to arise with darkness in his or her eyes.) But when prayer goeth forth from a heart, or hearts that have purified themselves in the love of God, then God is able, let me say that again, then God is able, to calm the swirling waters and hold His hand over the land, that would have experienced Great atrocities, would it not have been for these, who enforced the covenant of love while staying on their knees.

Rev 13:1
Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name…….

Daniel 7:2-8
2Daniel spoke, saying, “I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven were stirring up the Great Sea. 3And four great beasts came up from the sea, each different from the other. 4The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings. I watched till its wings were plucked off; and it was lifted up from the earth and made to stand on two feet like a man, and a man’s heart was given to it.
5“And suddenly another beast, a second, like a bear. It was raised up on one side, and had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. And they said thus to it: ‘Arise, devour much flesh!’
6“After this I looked, and there was another, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird. The beast also had four heads, and dominion was given to it.
7“After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge iron teeth; it was devouring, breaking in pieces, and trampling the residue with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns. 8I was considering the horns, and there was another horn, a little one, coming up among them, before whom three of the first horns were plucked out by the roots. And there, in this horn, were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking [c]pompous words.

Clouds

There are all kinds of clouds. The cirrus clouds that are light a and wispy. There are the stratus clouds. They look like thin, white sheets covering the whole sky. Since they are so thin, they seldom produce much rain or snow. Then there are Cumulus clouds. These clouds look like fluffy, white cotton balls in the sky. They are beautiful in sunsets, and their varying sizes and shapes can make them fun to observe! Of course we can’t forget about Cumulonimbus clouds. They are classic “thunderstorm clouds” and are large towering clouds that are often dark in color. Seeing them is a sign that a storm is likely brewing.

However I want to talk about a different type of cloud. It’s a cloud of goodness. When it rolls in, healing and miracles are showered down on men. As worship and expectancy continually arise, and every one has their focus on Christ, there are miracles of every sort. Is there a limb crippled, is a leg too short? Miracles descend upon the waiting masses, and all are filled with wonder and amazement. Men begin to sing out loud, that God is present in the “Glory Cloud.”

Ezekiel 10:4
Then the glory of the LORD went up from the cherub, and stood over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the LORD’S glory.

2 Chronicles 5:14
So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God

1 Kings 8:7
so that the priests could not stand there to minister because of the cloud; for the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD

Now My Eyes Behold Him

I Have Heard Of You By the Hearing Of The Ear

We shall behold him face to face. It’s coming up. Get ready for it. He’s more excited then we are. But some of us are pretty excited. Won’t that be a grand time? I’ll say. So prepare, prepare, prepare, your heart. For you shall step right up before Him, and because you received His Son Jesus, you will never depart. He’ll be glad to talk to you and thank you for how you loved your brother and how you endeavored to keep the unity of the faith amongst one another. Ohh it will be a glorious time, because you kept him on your mind.

“I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear, But now my eye sees You. job 42:5h

The Voice Of The Lord

Psalm 29 King James Version (KJV)

29 Give unto the Lord, O ye mighty, give unto the Lord glory and strength.
2 Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.
3 The voice of the Lord is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the Lord is upon many waters.
4 The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.
5 The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars; yea, the Lord breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.
7 The voice of the Lord divideth the flames of fire.
8 The voice of the Lord shaketh the wilderness; the Lord shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.
9 The voice of the Lord maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of his glory.
10 The Lord sitteth upon the flood; yea, the Lord sitteth King for ever.
11 The Lord will give strength unto his people; the Lord will bless his people with peace.

The Secret Place

The Secret Place

In the secret place, in the secret place,
this is where visions and dreams are made clear.
In the secret place, in the secret place,
This is where fear, and uncertainty disappear.

It’s a place where strategies and procedures are adopted and refined.
It’s a place to gain wisdom, and insight, to strengthen the mind.

In the secret place, where noise, and commotions cease.
It’s where the next stage of your work, or your ministry is released.

Matthew 6:6 ESV
But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
