                      LET HIM IN

True worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth.
— John 4:23

How do we worship God in spirit and truth? It starts by being authentic. We have to be real. Many people get caught in a religious trap and only say prayers they learned from others. Although some memorized prayers can be powerful, to enter into deep waters in God, we need to bare our souls to the Lord. Father God wants us to confide in Him, sharing our deepest fears and desires. 

We need to open our hearts to the Father because He can only come in to the degree we let Him. If our conversations with Him are limited to recited prayers, we are not disclosing who we really are, and He cannot dwell with us in a deep way. God already knows everything about us, so there is nothing to hide. Again, He can only come as far as we let Him. 

This is a mystery in our relationship with God. Although the Father knows everything and is everywhere, He only dwells where He has an invitation. He is a gentleman. He can intrude anytime He wants, and He does do that at times. But that is not the kind of relationship the Lord wants. He is not looking for robots. He is looking for those who desire Him.All creation is upheld by Messiah’s power. But the only way we can be one with Him is if we choose to open our hearts and invite Him in.

Stay in Balance!

  Then Jesus said, “Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.” He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn’t even have time to eat. Mark 6:31 Stay in Balance Everywhere Jesus went, He was healing people, teaching in the synagogues, pouring Himself into His disciples. People made constant demands on His time and energies. Imagine how He felt. As the Son of God, He had this incredible power, anointing, wisdom, so much to offer. Yet at times, when He was exhausted, He would go away from the crowds and get alone so He could be refreshed. Despite the pressing needs around Him, Jesus knew that He had to take care of His temple.  If the Son of God had to be alone and rest, if He couldn’t meet all the demands of the people around Him, why do we think we can go all the time and be everything for everyone? No matter how anointed, strong, smart, or gifted you are, you get depleted. Despite all the needs around you, yo...

Give Cheerfully!

        Give Cheerfully “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”  (2 Corinthians 9:7) When giving is done with the right attitude, it can be a gateway for God to move in significant ways in our lives. It is important to remember that it is not the amount we give that matters so much as it is the attitude that characterizes our giving. God loves it when we give out of a cheerful and grateful heart. God’s loving of a cheerful giver results in God taking action in our lives. Scripture states unequivocally that God will make all spiritual and earthly blessing abound to us so we can multiply our efforts for the kingdom. This is why I believe giving provides a major gateway for God to work in our lives, we can expect God to visit us. Jesus will fellowship with the cheerful giver, and the Holy Spirit will impart life to out mortal bodies. When we weave a pattern of giving...
