{ You will be grateful. Pt. 2 }

honestly, letting go of all the shut doors and what i was trusting Him for is the best fruit that i have ever done in this year. this is the fruit that will produce greater things for the next. have definitely tasted all three of my desires, and the full satisfaction shall come beautifully in His very season and timing. it is not the matter of the calling... because if this ain't it, then i wanna stay right here and see forth His hand of grace for His best is on its way.

so thank You Father, for a spiritually fruitful year. You have never once left me, and You shall always remind me of Your constant presence of comfort throughout every season. goodness that is so undeserving, yet You are so willing.

how great thou art? would say, pretty much above and beyond.

{ Not just your priority, but your everything. }

"don't put Jesus first." - s.furtick

put Him at the center and let Him orbit in all areas of your life. because without Him, all this would nor even come to existence. indeed He is the supreme and glory over all. 

not just your priority, but your everything. 

He wants to be heavily involved in every area of your life. is not about only seeking Him first, but seeking Him in all that you're trusting and putting your faith in Him for. that is what He delights in.

happy accelerated and beautiful timed 2013 folks. for the hand of Grace is already at work for the greater things... 

wowzaaa. am stoked and just want to flow in His faithfully perfect and beautiful timing. this is what i call, a God thing. 

where would i seriously be without Your grace? x

{ Those were the good times. }

there's a season for everything.

#justsaying

-----

one is and was thankful for all the good times.

and realized that now what you thought would last was meant to be fully enjoyed in its fruitful time. instead of even holding it was a loose hand, now it is left up in the air and for Him to hold onto. it has definitely been a good run, and the only lasting relationship throughout all the many years of bonding that one has experienced is this...

only the one with Him lasts.

till the truth is revealed, one sense the purpose of it all... He is indeed making and clearing out space for the arrival of something new, God planned and promised.

i will wait.

{ Jesus, the Star. }

staring in the high and bright ceilings at our new home is quite a magnificent view… it is just a product of His perfect faithfulness that as a church, it was to us a dream which He has transformed and made more than possible into one that we can touch, feel, experience, enjoy, worship and exalt Him in.

Grace has always been the center of our very gatherings, and that is why one is found in His effortless rhythms and flow of His appointed time which He makes all things beautiful in. indeed we have witness His beauty and fingerprints in this rather exciting time and beginning of a new glory that has been dawned upon us.

this shall be interesting, and expectancy is running wild on the unlimited capabilities of what Grace is going to do next. am planning to sit back, and rest in the flow in which the only thing productive and able are His very own hands.

get ready for a whole new level and explosion of Grace. and it starts... NOW.

{ Tears of Joy... }

had a tears of joy moment this morning, and look what Grace comforted me with...

-----

“You keep track of all my sorrows. 
You have collected all my tears in your bottle. 
You have recorded each one in your book.”
(Psalm 56:8, NLT)

"Do you know how important you are to God? He cares so much about every detail of your life. He cares about your thoughts, feelings and emotions. In fact, what you are going through is so important to Him that He records every sorrow and collects the tears you’ve shed.

Why would God record your sorrows and collect your tears? Because everything that affects you matters to Him. He is your Vindicator. He’s keeping an account of every wrong that’s ever been done to you so that He can make up for every single one of them. He wants to restore to you everything that has ever been stolen. He wants to heal every hurt and pain.

Today, know that God cares about the things that concern you. He cares about the things that hurt you. He is close to the brokenhearted, and He wants to bring you peace and comfort. Turn to Him and receive His love. Let Him bring healing to your heart and restoration to your soul."

{ Rock of ages. }

He is indeed so. the Cornerstone who laid His own life for us, and what a better foundation then Grace Himself?

there have definitely been a harvest of good times with the precious individuals that He has divinely allow a kingdom encounter and growing mateship in this journey. empowerment, encouragement, love, joy, laughter, imparting, praying and sharing has been reigning in the place He has once called for in the season which i will forever be grateful for. 

my heart has been overly satisfied, and there are no words to say but just to sit at His feet, and worshiping Him for His magnificence and perfect faithfulness in every season. He is indeed rising up a generation that not only speaks forth the amazement with His Grace, but arising in the glory that He has already filled us in for the greater He is alining us for. 

Jesus has always been the Star, and as exaltation abounds, so will our very lives be in His mercies and favor that never runs dry. and as He is the center of this home we gather in, transformation takes place each time we exit from a Grace environment such as this one. dreams and callings has been formed, but that is just the beginning for us.

we're ready to step into the new He has planned and equipped us for. so here goes for yet another wild one being so full of His fingerprints all around, and with the evidence of the work of His hands. 

and a Star was born.

{ A lifestyle of thanksgiving. }

"As I was folding my family's laundry today (no, the angels don't do it) I found myself praying & thanking God for each one. There was a time I didn't have a family & therefore no laundry to fold & put away. I wonder if we find ourselves complaining about what we once prayed for?"

_C.Caine

hmm... something to think about definitely. time to nature that attitude for gratitude. not just because december has conveniently arrived, but for every moment of our lives... wouldn't hurt to have a lifestyle of thanksgiving. perhaps one would realize that we already have more than enough. x

{ The cross has turn out can't to CAN. }


the t in the can't represents the cross and the love of the Father... which His one and only has completed all our can't, so that now we can surely and most definitely CAN.

{ Send me, I will go. Pt. 3 }

“I am the good shepherd; I know my own sheep, and they know me, just as my Father knows me and I know the Father. So I sacrifice my life for the sheep.

John 10:14-15

{ Jesus, You're the cup that won't run dry. }

felt led to bring my anointing oil out as one is experiencing adversaries at work...
and look what Grace dropped by with:

"You prepare a feast,
setting a table of food,
serving and treating me a six-course dinner,
right in front and in the presence of my enemies,
while those who hate me watch.
You revive my drooping head,
honoring me by anointing, pouring and bathing my head in oil.
You fill my cup until it overflows,
and it brims with blessings, so full it spills over.
I have everything I need."

Psalm 23:5 (WordRemix // NLT, NLV, Msg, Contempt Eng, Common Eng)

-----

oil is symbolic of the anointing of God. and what oil does is makes things flow. whenever there is friction or something gets stuck, putting oil on it makes it become more fluid.

and because God anoints you, and because you walk in His favor, surely goodness and mercy will follow you everywhere you go. (psalm 23)

God's anointing makes things easier. people will go out of their way to be good to you for no reason. you're going to have creativity, wisdom and good ideas. God's anointing on your life will cause the right doors to open. it will bring the right people across your faith. it will make things go smoother. 

all you have to do, is ask Him for it.

{ After the light & After the caller. Pt. 2 }

funny how He drops hints and words such as "delight", "rest" and "preparation". definite food for thought...

think i got schooled by Him yesterday haha. not in a bad way of course, but rather, just another day of gently showcasing that His truth and word stands above what we can ever plan or prove to one how much we may yearn for something... but yet the response was just what i needed and actually, desired above all else.

it is time to not be silent anymore... not in a manner of force or pride... but rather flowing with the rhythmic waves of where Grace is leading us to. sometimes not in places and answers that does not enter in any gates that attains to the flesh, and when that discomfort occurs, and fear starts to creep in, just be bold and undaunted to move forward in His leading despite what the natural may be screaming at you.

being ordinary was a life before Christ, and now we have been graciously redeemed and given a second chance with a eternal life and righteous standing in Him, we shall allow Him the privilege to move in the extraordinary in this very vessels that He died for.

have experienced the ugliness and the terrible limits and attempts that the flesh can do. oh the pride and its silent nature of disruption... and even the motives that is birthed from a carnal desire... the temporal satisfaction is a mask holding down what is really going on inside.

but once His breath blows down on us... the refreshing winds just burns every chain down. and what is only left, is our hearts for His glorification, for His presence, for the very person of Grace Himself and not what it can bring.

really... my soul shall delight in the magnificence and warmth of the personification of all goodness and grace of Jesus.

You are my dwelling place, and You called me Yours.

blow might breath of God... move... in power and grace."

{ Send me, I will go. Pt.2 }

“Once more Jesus addressed the crowd. He said, I am the Light of the world. He who follows Me will not be walking in the dark, but will have the Light which is Life.

- John 8:12 (Amp) 

-----

another inspiration today! God is just amazing and faithful to what He wants us to tell His people that may be living in the dark physically, but never spiritually.

{ Prep in process... }

Proverbs 16:9

"We plan the way we want to live, but only God makes us able to live it."
- Message

"We make our own plans, but the Lord decides where we will go."
- Contempt English

-----

Oftentimes, God will use our experiences in life as stepping stones to prepare us for what He has in store next. He'll even take the things the enemy tries to brings against us and turn them around and use them forour good. He is always leading us on a journey of preparation.

That is what it is so important to keep out 

Oftentimes, God will use our experiences in life as stepping stones to prepare us for what He has in store next. He’ll even take the things the enemy tries to bring against us and turn them around and use them for our good. He is always leading us on a journey of preparation.

That’s why it’s so important to keep our eyes focused on Him. We have to trust that when we are submitted to Him — even if we don’t understand — He is ordering our steps. If something is not happening on your timetable, remind yourself, “God knows what He is doing. He has my best interest at heart. God is preparing me.”

While you’re waiting, don’t make the mistake of trying to figure everything out. If you’re constantly trying to figure things out, that will only frustrate you. Turn it over to God. Declare, “God, my times are in Your hands. I’m not going to worry because I trust that You are leading me on a journey of preparation for all the wonderful blessings You have in store for me.”

{ Send me, I will go. }

"Jesus replied, I am the Bread of Life. He who comes to Me will never be hungry, and he who believes in and cleaves to and trusts in and relies on Me will never thirst any more (at any time)."

_John 6:35 (Amp)

-----

first inspiration of the many for my upcoming mission trip this weekend. and my only prayer request for the entire thing is a desire to see Grace move and minister to the hearts of the unhopeful and unloved like never before throughout all ages, backgrounds, generations, beliefs and doctrines. 

indeed Jesus is the hope for all humanity (as hills marked it at their home), and these beloved souls shall never hunger or thirst no more when Grace is encountered, because He simply does not want you to remain just the way you are. He wants to open your eyes, and see His supply beyond the pain and suffering.

still remember while on the keys a year ago... asking Him what is on His heart... and He simply spoke: you. above all things, He chose us... Grace chose us. people who are beyond undeserving yet given a second chance... given a life of eternity, of Sonship. 

so let the redeemed of the Lord says so! and let His people know that their Father has never forgotten them. it is time, to let it shine and let the truth of the Lord be magnified and glorified in every personal encounter with His people beyond the four walls. 

and actually, the four walls are just cement, it is us who make and are the church -- His permanent sanctuary and dwelling place, filled with His spirit that will enable us to go into cities and places of need to share and more so, experience His love. hope shall rise in their hearts, eyes shall open in their circumstances, and a Savior shall be recognized in their lives forever.

this it not it... this is just the beginning of something greater He has already installed and enabled us to go forth... as vessels of His presence and work... undaunted. stoked! 

{ Only He will upgrade you. }

“For honor, promotion and what exalts someone does not come from the east or the west or from the desert. It is God alone who judges; He puts down one and lifts up another, deciding who will rise and who will fall."

- Psalm 75:6–7 // (WordRemix: Amp, NLT, NLV & Common Eng)

-----

the truth is that the people we're playing up to or trying to win their favor may be the ones that open a door for us, but the don't hold the key to our destiny. promotion doesn't come from them, promotion comes from God. and God will use the most unlikely people to open doors of opportunity for you.

{ Up with God! }


"Up with God, He is already beginning to arise! Down with His enemies as they scatter. Adversaries, run for the hills!"

- Psalm 68:1 (Amp & Msg)

-----

He will cause what was meant to bring you down, to rise you up! higher and greater than what one may even go when all is well, because that is how able our God is.

{ Take heart... God is still at work - C. Caine }


actually... the easiest thing to do in a believers life is what we're simply tasked and called to do... believe.

we dare trust in Him, so that we ourselves get out of the struggle of unbelief and fears... and into the glorious light we're always been in. because our lives are no longer ours to live, but Christ who live in us.
