Loss......

No words seem appropriate right now, other than to say, my dear sweet grandpa just went to heaven to be with Jesus late last night!! My heart hurts right now. I wish I could understand, but I don't. But, he is at peace and that is worth rejoicing over! I long for all your continued prayers as my family deals with their sadness over the holidays. Much grace and peace to all!!

A Prayer Request........

My dear sweet grandpa, 96, is in critical condition in the ICU. My mom and brother are on their way to Florida to be with the rest of the family during this time. Please pray for my family! If it is my grandpa's time to go and be with the Lord, then I pray it be in peace and without pain. However, that said I do not wish for him to go, nor do I begin to think he has to. I am contending in prayer for his life to continue!  Please stand with me, on his behalf!! Grace and peace!

Revelation Song

Heaven on Earth.......

I live in heaven on earth. Yup! That is how it should be. We don't have to wait 'til we die! Although, our future in heaven will be wonderful indeed and I can't wait! We are the temple of God! We have the very life of Christ being carried around in us, and Jesus is seated in heavenly places, so are we!! HELLO~!!! Lord, let your kingdom come on earth more and more! Let the truth of our lives as christians being hid in you, with you, as you become revealed to the body across the earth!! (check out Rob's latest message)

I have been singing this oldie by Belinda Carlisle for some time now, I though it was yet another secular prophetic song that needed to be shared! (by the way, I had the same hairdo and dress back in the early 90's, yup I did!!) 

Only Jesus is more than enough.......

I used to sing these songs in my old church, "More than enough" and "Only Jesus." I generally liked the songs, and really enjoyed worshipping to them, but I didn't get it!! I thought I got it, but I didn't!! Lately, these songs have been swirling around in my mind often, because really the two combined capture my heart for MY JESUS!! (However I couldn't find the version of Only Jesus that I wanted.) I only want HIM, and I have ALL of HIM!!! I just can't get over how really really amazing it is that I have everything I need walking around within me, in my the very core of me, my spirit every day!! Awesome!!!

Regeneration -in other words Christ in you the hope of glory!!

Yes Adrian I agree, we do not talk enough about this!! There is only one thing I ever want to hear preached ever again - Jesus and Jesus alone. And the very Christ life we have as Christians! This is our only hope of glory, this is the only way to live!! This message needs to be shouted from the rooftops!! (Hey maybe we could start sneaking into churches with megaphones and proclaim the good news - I think the whole of christianity needs to hear this truth and start a revolution!!)

"Don't let an unclear Scripture rob you of the joy of a clear Scripture"

I am finally done typing out the message "Victory over condemnation" and have posted it over at Rob Rufus - Grace and Glory, so go check it out! This message has been one of my favorites by Rob, it has helped me truly understand God is no longer angry with me, and will never ever be!! Isn't that wonderful news! I just love Isaiah 54, the declaration God makes, He takes an oath never to be angry with us again! If you have never understood this truth or read this passage, you simply must go read the notes! Also there is a very classic Rob quote that I love that comes from this message, and it's "don't let an unclear Scripture rob you of the joy of a clear Scripture." Alot of christians can't embrace the good news that God will never be angry with them again, because they will find random scriptures here and there that confuse them, but are not totally clear. But Isaiah 54, is truly a clear Scripture that will set you free!! 

 I would also like to share  this song that City Church sang at the end of this particular message. It is an all time favorite of mine and I can't hear it enough. Enjoy!
