Are we alive for the Lord or living for the world?

What are we passionate about, what excites us? Is it the heart of the Lord or the enticements of the world? What truly is our first love?

Are we worried or embarrassed for the world to see and hear our passion and excitement for the Lord? Are we neither hot nor cold but luke warm?

Don't be a doubting Thomas or a closet Christian, let your faith take hold and lift you up in His grace and truth and power…be passionate about your faith in the One who is passionate about you for His love never ends!

Do not love the world nor the things in the world.

If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 

For all that is in the world,

the lust of the flesh and

the lust of the eyes and

the boastful pride of life,

is not from the Father, but is from the world.

1 John 2:15-16 

Speak, Lord, for Your servant is listening…

We do quite a bit of talking to God… 

Asking Him, inquiring, even sometimes demanding...
BUT how often do we ask Him to speak to us...
How often do we say 'speak Lord for your servant is listening'… 
Being still, yet actively and earnestly desiring to hear from the Lord and His still small voice… 
To hear from His heart…

Can we calm our mind and control our tongue and allow Him to break through all that goes on about us and listen to what He has for us...do we long to hear from the heart of the Lord....the veil was torn so that we could sit at His feet and listen to Him...the wall of separation was removed by Christ's sacrifice...I believe that He does want to share His heart with us because He is a loving Father...come, sit at His feet and say to Him 'Lord speak for your servant is listening'...

The Light of Life…

Only in the true Light shall we find truth. The absence of Light is darkness. And in the darkness there is no truth. The enemy lives in the darkness and that is where he wants us to be - where he wants us to live our lives - in the lies of the darkness. Let the true Light overwhelm you and fill the absence of truth, which is the darkness, transforming you into His marvelous Light of Truth - the Light of Life….

The Light of Life....

Let There Be Light…

The amazingly bright and illuminating Light that is the Word of God - which is His Glory. The powerful Light that brings a cleansing to our souls. The brilliantly shining Light that overcomes the darkness. A Light so penetrating that we can no longer live with our justification of sin. The Light of Life that is able to pierce our hardened hearts. The tremendous comforting Light that bathes us in His never ending loving-kindness. The vibrant and active Light that infuses our lives with His grace and truth which brings about hope and joy and love. The glorious Light that has defeated death. A marvelous Light that is so indescribably overwhelming.

May we walk in His glorious Light…

And I saw this amazingly bright Light and it began to approach me, to come upon me. Initially I was concerned about what this powerful Light would do, what it meant - was it a Light of cleansing and chastisement and righteous judgment.  Yet, as I was bathed in this Light a peace came upon me, a feeling of comfort and protection surrounded me, a loving warmth that drew me and I realized my unworthiness to be exposed to this marvelous Light but the Light harkened unto me to come and be overcome by its glory.
