In a world where we are all so focused on our own lives and problems and cares that we have going on may we be reminded of our greatest need and that of our families.

  LOVE. -LOVE -LOVE,  then why is it sometimes so hard to give and or show love??

It is what our hearts truely crave. Our deepest longing.

   Do you have a family you have a hard time showing love to?? or even feeling love towards??

  Our maybe you have one that has a hard time showing you there love or both of these things.

    well, Lets ask the holy spirit to fill our hearts with his love and show us practical ways we can show them Gods love.

  lets pray that God will do a work in our families lives of love.

 lets pray agianst everything that stands in the way of that love being show.

 the bible makes it super clear that love is not love unless its expressed through how we act and what we do and say.

   just like faith is dead without works. so is love.

1 cor.13 says:

n the tongues[a] of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only aresounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and canfathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can movemountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to thepoor and surrender my body to the flames,[b] but have not love, I gain nothing.4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is notproud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, itkeeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with thetruth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where thereare tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, theimperfect disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thoughtlike a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish waysbehind me. 12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall seeface to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fullyknown. 13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest ofthese is love.

boy do i have a looooong way to go !!!!

 show us how to love Jesus!! without condition. just love!!!

Dear Worshipper,

Today I sit here looking back over my life and I can't believe I'm almost 30 years old. WOW!! Time flys!!

I remember accepting Christ as my savior at 6 years of age and feeling such a hunger to go in my room and cry out to God and worship him. As I did, his presence came into my room and touched me in such a sweet and beautiful way. He would whisper in my ear, "Brandy, I love you.""Brandy, you are special to me". I could feel his presence surround me in that little room with my hands raised to the sky I felt enveloped by his sweet and magnificent presence. I had such a hunger for God and his word!!

Looking back I treasure those times with the Lord and I enjoy those moments today as a grown women. I feel that at times life can be very stressful and when you are facing very difficult situations and maybe you feel your back is against the wall so to speak I want you to hear the Holy Spirit say to you " Come away with me my child, Come away with me and Just bask in my glory and my love and let all that I AM envelope and enfold you ". Let me hold you in my arms". "Cast all your cares on me and trust me as I carry you through."

Be that little girl or that little boy again and just sit and soak Him up like sunshine. If we are to be the light of the world then we need to be filled up with his light, presence and his glory!!!!!

Just bask today. Don't strive or strain, Just Bask!!!!

WOW!!! In church today all i could do was cry. I Have been praying for more of a servants heart. a broken heart.

Today in church, during the worship it was like i could hear the Lord say to me.

Yes, im putting that heart in you. a givers heart. a servants heart.

being a giver has nothing to do with weather you have alot to give or not. its the fact that you discover this profound joy and new found satisfaction in giving freely from your heart and being lead of the holy spirit in your giving.

I want to be a giver in every sense of the word. i want to give my life away!!!

We watched "Passion of the Christ" today in church it just hit me like a tun of bricks. " Jesus thats how much you love me????" wow!!

As i lifted my hands and the tears just flowed i thought " wow!! i can come to church and worship you with other believers. wow. in freedom !!! what a priveledge!!!

Its as if my heart was recieving a heavenly down load and the warmth and beauty of my heavenly father was overwelming me!!!

nothing like recieving his love!!!!

I have noticed something in my life i want to press in to, to fully discover, and that is that when things are going great, I've got the money i need, no suffering. nothing wrong in my life. everything is just seemly perfect at the moment .

even in these times, as i feed my spirit the word of God and spend time in his presence asking for his heart. or any other thing.

well.... he does it. he really does it. i ask for a brokeness and he begins to break me. i ask for his fire and he sends it!!! i ask to know his love and he shows it to me.

i ask for humility and he begins to humble me.

wow !!!! those that hunger and thrist for right standing with the father shall be filled!!!!

those who seek me shall find me. says the lord of host.

so... what do i conclude ????

that when my life is in plenty or seemingly depleted i will praise him. i will seek him.

SAINTS WE NEED TO ASK THE LORD TO HELP US DISCOVER WHO WE ARE IN CHRIST AND WHAT IS OURS BECAUSE WE ARE IN HIM.

God can use suffering and poverty to bring us closer to him. Does it mean we are more spiritual if we are suffering or living in poverty????? of course not.

always remember MAN looks on the outward but God looks at the motives of our hearts!!!!

so what do we need to??? seek after poverty and suffering??? that wont really help any one. me living half broke all the time wont help anyone. me living pay check to pay check wont really help anyone or prove anything.

seek FIRST Gods kingdom which is right standing with god, peace and joy in the holy ghost.

then, ask God to keep you, give him your life and just enjoy the jorney of loving him and recieving his love!!!

fill your mind and mouth with the word. get out all the verses that talk about who you are in christ and what is yours as HIS child and confess and apply it!!!!

as you do you will soon discover you are not a victom but a victor, you are the head and not the tail, above and not beneath. you can do ALL things through christ and fear and doubt must bow to the name of Jesus in your life!!! every strong hold in your life MUST bow to the mighty name of Jesus!!!

The enemy has come to STEAL from you. KILL AND DESTROY you- financally, phisically, spiritually and in every other way.

The wealth of the wicked is layed up for the righteous!!!! Praise God!!!!!

As i spread my arms wide open to recieve the ALL the blessings he is pouring out upon my life all i can do is cry and cry and say " to God be the glory, great things he has done and will do!!!"

freely you have recieved, freely give!!!!

oh, the joy of giving. i long to discover it on a whole new level!!!

knowing he has washing me in that precious blood and he is mine and i am his.

have you ever wondered why there is diamonds, rubies and gold in heaven???

why???

Jesus is the king of all kings!!! Lord of all Lords!!! they are a reflection and representation of his beauty, glory and slendor !!!

when Jesus came to this earth he was the second adam!!!! he as freed us from the law of sin and death and because of the new cov. we can now bring a slice of heaven to earth.

what does that look like?? well. in my mind. it is indescibably beautiful and breath taking.

it is someone walking in the POWER of God, the LOVE of God and the blessings of God in every area of their life!!! think about what heavens like and pray it down!!!

so hungry, so passionate about the God they love.

When you are near them you see, smell and feel the savior.

I believe its his desire to bless his children in every way!! I believe God wants to prosper and bless his own.

God wants us to seek him like never before. Stop limiting yourself but most of all stop limiting God!!!!

He is everything. an all consuming fire!!!!

My hearts longing is to show him to the world with the way i live my life!!! may i bring him glory with all he is entrusting me with.

i have not because i ask not. sometimes because of a lack of faith. sometimes because of fear.

either way, day by day and step by step im going higher, im digging deeper and im moving foward. forgetting those things which are behind.

im PRESSING im pressing. so... i can recieve the prize. what the prize???

to hear the father say

"well done though good and faithful servant!!!"

DONT let satan bully you around but YOU tell him how its going to be!!!

I got to share Jesus with this girl in MCdonalds the other day. i held her hand and shared the love of christ with her. I also got to share the gospel of christ. it flowed from my heart to hers. from my spirit i spoke to her spirit and she was VERY receptive.

i left feeling like thats what makes life worth living. thats what its alll about!!!!

Gods love. wow!!! amazing!!!

The closer we get to Jesus, when the devil trys to attack us in any way

, shape or form, the more he looks like a little mini cawawa nipping at

our heals.

saints of God remember no weapon will prosper!!!! we are more

than over comers through his blood. we have already won and over come

because the battle belongs to the Lord!!!

Saints of God do you know who YOU are in CHRIST?????

when he died he said it is finished!!!! that's it!!!!! he won!!!!

so.... because he won im a winner, because he succeeded im a success, because im in him and he is in me!!!!!!

i just feel like preaching right now!!!!!

GLORY TO MY KING JESUS !!!

          Jesus is the winner man and through him we have the victory!!!!!

God put this in my spirit so here it is:

Home is where you feel loved and accepted unconditionally

Home is where your heart is

Home is where you can be yourself an...d truly accepted for you who you are

Home is that place of safety,se...curity and rest

Many people in today's world have a house but not a home.

I want to encourage you that you can begin to read Gods word and talk with him as you do you will find a home.

I have lived out many lonely times in my life but it was during those times i got to know God as my best friend, my father, my mother the lover of my soul or whatever i needed him to be in my life.

I have several close friendships that bring to my life a filling of home. i also have a wonderful church family that make me feel sooo at home.

I also have a very loving and tender husband who makes me feel at home.

but i would have to say that its those moments talking with or just thinking about my sweet Jesus that let me know I AM HOME. IM HOME.

my home is where he is. he is my source and supply and he is limitless and boundless.

yes, i found exactly where i belong. right here. cuddled up in his sweet and tender arms of love. love that goes beyond love. its like the feeling you get when you walk out into a vast ocean. it over comes and over takes you.

love that knows no limits or bounds. Gods love is where my home is.

In his arms of love I've found my home forever and always!

My prayer is: " Bless me Lord so I can be a blessing!!!! In every area. My arms

and my heart are open wide to recieve ALL you want to give me Lord!!!

Fear and Intimidation of money, sucess , or failure have no business or

pl......ace in my li...fe!!!! out ou......t o...ut!!!

I want to prosper in my body, soul, spirit and pocket book. Yes Jesus I

want holiness and righteousness. I also want to walk free of a spirit

of religion and poverty and a victim mentality. I want my life to

demonstrate and reflect your peace, joy, love and POWER and

GLORY!!!!!!We need holiness but we need his FIRE!!!!!! Let the world

see just who OUR God is!!!

Many will see and fear and put their trust in the Lord. THE WEALTH OF THE

WICKED IS LAIDED UP FOR THE RIGHTEOUS. DEVIL BACK OFF!!!!

spiritually speaking In my past I feelt as if I was walking around in a little fenced in yard. around and

around and around till the Lord showed me my territory but he said I

needed to possess it. claim it as mine. go and get it!!!!... So.... Devil. look out here I come. I know who I am IN CHRIST and I

know that makes you afraid!!!!Because

my worth, value and identity are rapped up in who i am in Christ and I

understand he gets the glory, that has freed me up to receive what HE

whats to give me and be who HE wants me to be!!!

IS THERE ANYTHING IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE LORD???
