Marching Orders
Good morning troops, glad to see everyone here to once again receive our marching orders to today and this week. Our marching orders will be from God’s word. Our battle is not against flesh and blood but is spiritual so use God’s word and prayer to keep the victory our Lord has already won for us. Be not easily angered or become prideful for these are two weak spots in our armor. Always be alert at our post, and keep watch for the brothers around us less at any time one is injured an falls by the wayside. Never leave one behind, go back and lift him up with encouragement, prayer and love until they are fully recovered. In all places maintain the victory by always giving God all the praise and glory. On returning to headquarters be ready to report how the skirmish was won and God was with you so your team can rejoice together. Dismissed, and be blessed

​The Kingdom Within

” Where shall we worship? ” Some say over there! Other way over. here! Jesus said neither, the kingdom of God is within you. For many the Kingdom in its power and authority lays dormant, powerless, the walls are broken in places by unbelief, unforgiveness and lack of faith. The war for our souls is at hand, we must guard the gateways to our hearts, by watching and praying. We are not helpless, with God on our side, He is at the forefront at every battle. The Holy Spirit will give us a word to follow or speak by faith, the victory has already been won. The weapons of our warfare are not carnal. There are more for us then those that are against us. Be not at ease in Zion, but let us gird up the loins of our mind, and lean not to our own understanding. Let us keep a guard at the gates of the eyes and ears, and test every word with discernment of the Spirit. Be not anxious but test every report by Gods word. Ps. 51:10, “Create in me a clean heart, oh, God, and renew a right spirit within me. Amen

Waiting

Waiting on Him. Did not he promise that if you seek you shall find, knock and it will be opened, ask and you shall receive. Take time to seek. My favorite time is the late night hour, and plan to stay awhile, and go prepared. Take a song book, He loves to hear us sing. Have your bible to read a loud to Him, and perhaps ask Him where to read. If He may give you a text to read, be assured the word is for we the readers. Keep handy a note pad to write when He gives you a word. Let God know you are coming to meet and pray with Him, and be as consistent as you can. He is waiting.

Who Has Seen the Wind

Who has seen the wind?

Neither you nor I.

But when the trees bow down their heads,

The wind is passing by.

Restoration

Four thirty in the morning and I sit in my recliner waiting. Picking up my kindle fire tablet and lay it on my lap. “Father I’m here, if you desire to speak I’ll listen, if not I will wait.” Silence. Then I hear within my heart a quiet sound saying “what do you want.” You are my Shepard I shall not want, you lead me beside still water restoring my soul. ” so once again I sit looking at a black empty screen that gives nothing until a light comes on inside. It’s the same with the soul of men, until the !ord gives light to my soul I have nothing to give. What a simple truth! Thank you Lord. ” Will you a!so come to the Lord and let Him bring light to your soul. He is waiting in your favorite place. ” Wait upon the Lord and He may give you something also. Go on give Him a try, you have everything to gain and it’s time well spent.

The Couple

The worth of a wife’s cooking is not in the food but in the way she serves it. The worth of a husband is not how the food taste, but in how he receives the wife who cooked it. The happiness of a husband and wife is in how much they treasure the gift in each other.

Alone

Alone but never alone and that is the way of prayer. It’s a place not for asking only, but a place you can go to confide with your friend that sticks closer than a brother. To release, vent, or pour out your hearts deepest secrets,shame, or weakness, even your hopes and dreams. A place to talk with your God in whom you trust and know to keep your words and thoughts within His heart, knowing He cares. I have found Him not only to be true but He also can restore joy and peace. What a friend we have in Jesus. Call heavens hotline #0ILVU2.

The Burning Bush

As Moses was walking he saw what look like a burning Bush. As he moved toward it a voice spoke to Moses telling him to take off his shoes for He was standing on holy ground. This where Moses received his calling to bring Gods people up out of Egypt. Now all of us won’t have a burning Bush experience, but we at one time or others have a holy ground moment when God gives us our calling to serve Him. May we abide waiting in the right attitude to be on holy ground to say yes Lord. For this is the will of God that every man yield to God’s call to represent the Lord and be His vessel in this present world. May He takes us through the refiners fire, to be purified as find gold. Your worth is not about what you think, but it’s about what God knows, and He is still working on us. Just hold on to that nail scarred hand.

Empty Hands

A few nights ago while setting In the living room praying, It was about three in the morning. I had already been praying about an hour, when in mind I saw Jesus standing with His hands extended out, but His hands were empty. In my mind I was wondering why His hands were empty. Words floated up inside of me, why are my people asking, why doesn’t God do something? Why does He not heal so and so person.? Then an answer came forth, in response Jesus said, I can do nothing, for my people are not giving any prayers into my hands to work with. Why do they not pray without ceasing? Our prayers of asking, seeking, and knocking are feeble with unbelief. Their are a few across the land who pray continually, but I desire all of my children to pray. The answers to prayer are waiting, but who will ask and loose them from heaven by faith with a thankful heart of anticipation. His heart is longing to give us what we need. Can we not pray, even for a few moments? Now is the acceptable time.

Necessity of Prayer

There are many times in this life we do things not by choice, but are necessary. Like going to school, work, or fixing a flat tire on the car, or sometimes we have to turn to God for help. Prayer to some is just an occasional event that has us turning to God for help. My friends prayer is much more than just necessary. The necessity of prayer is like breathing, or the beat of the heart of opening the mouth. The word of God says let praise be continually in our mouth, and rejoice and again rejoice. Let us pray with all prayer and supplication before the Lord. This is the necessity of life, without prayer we are in the throes of death, but to pray without ceasing is life more abundant. Can we not see the pain in the lame, the blind or those carrying deep sorrow or hearing the weeping heart.We are called to meet their necessities with prayer, to lift their burden. God wants to meet us for fellowship, but also to watch over our brothers and sisters. Necessity in prayer is the essence of heaven. God, let the pain of the people provoke us to prayer.
