Word for the Body of Christ: "Refresh, Restore, Revive"

"Refresh...Restore..Revive...
I AM the Redeemer...I AM the Resurrection...
I AM your very Life.
I AM your Rock...I AM your Rest.
I AM your Rejoicing!

Come and let Me be All you need, all you require, all you desire.
Come away with Me and be Renewed by My Spirit.
Let Me blow away the debris from the world.
Be Refreshed...Restored...and Revived in Me."

"But those who wait upon Lord
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint." Isaiah 40:31

SUNNY EASY DAYS DO NOT ENCOURAGE FAITH IN GOD! THIS IS JUST PART OF HUMAN NATURE...BUT ALSO SEEN IN THE ANIMAL and PLANT KINGDOM TOO.

THE STRONGEST TREES HAVE GONE THROUGH MANY STORMS and ENDURED and GROWN STRONGER!

STORMS, HARDSHIPS, RESISTANCE, DEMANDS FOR COURAGE and GROWTH ARE ALWAYS PART OF GOING ONWARD and UPWARD!

IF WE ARE NOT GROWING...WE ARE DYING! THIS IS THE SAME WITH EVERY LIVING THING IN CREATION!

DO NOT ALLOW FEAR, WEARINESS, FRUSTRATION, ANGER, DOUBT, UNBELIEF OR HATRED ENTER INTO YOUR HEART, YOUR MIND, YOUR LIFE!

SET YOUR MIND UPON GOD and HIS WORD!

PRAY AND SEEK THE SUPPORT FROM OTHER BELIEVERS TOO!
WE SHALL NOT FALL OR FAIL IN CHRIST JESUS!

GOD IS WITH US! ARE WE WITH GOD???

"WAIT ON THE LORD ,
AND KEEP HIS WAY,
AND HE SHALL EXALT YOU TO INHERIT THE LAND;
WHEN THE WICKED ARE CUT OFF, YOU SHALL SEE IT."
Psalm 37:34

Waiting on GOD is never a "fruitless act." His ways are higher than our ways. His thoughts are not our thoughts. A thousand years is but One Day to GOD. We are frail human beings who cannot/do not use but a small portion of our minds. We see things and believe...but with GOD...'Believing is seeing...through Faith." The more you study the Word of God, observe Creation all around you, pray/fellowship with HIM, listen and obey the voice of the Holy Spirit, choose to walk and live in holiness and obedience, delight yourself in the "Personal Transformation in Christ" through thanksgiving, praise and adoration....Waiting becomes exciting and joyful as GOD unfolds wonders each day. Eternity shall be worth the discipline! Choose JESUS and be a courageous Disciple!

"Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ." Philippians 1:6

The little joyful and faithful (only Four Chapters) Letter (Epistle) to the Philippians was written while the Apostle Paul was in a famous terrible Roman prison (underground, wet, cold...no coat) and chained between 2 Roman soldiers 3 times per day (three watches) dictated to a "scribe" and yet he is filled with JOY and REJOICING to be able to proclaim the Gospel to 6 soldiers every 24 hours...which reached the household of the Emperor!
Read and study the Book of Philippians with a new understanding of Faith and Joy in Christ! We have No Problems greater than our GOD! May the Body of Christ grow up in Faith and Rejoicing!

"MAN'S PURPOSE IS TO KNOW GOD...AND ENJOY HIM FOREVER!"

Old Scottish teaching which became like a marching order in my ministry call decades ago...as the Lord directed me to "Go and Rally My People...for they are scattered...spirit, soul and body..."

When we are filled with man's traditions, doctrines of devils, religious ideas, fear of man, selfish agendas and our own insecurities...we cannot and do not truly "Know God or Enjoy God" We cannot "enjoy God without Loving God!" GOD must be the center of our life!

I have made seeking this close relationship with God as the quest of my own life in Christ. Since childhood at 7 with Jesus as my Savior and Lord, I have gone through all of the various "adventures in faith" of "drawing near to God."
The stumbling around and frustrated seeking came to an end when I just relaxed and rested in His Agape Love! FAITH BLOOMED and EXPLODED!

The Word of God and the Holy Spirit are the key to growing and becoming what/who HE has created us to become! To be Transformed over a lifetime into the Beauty of JESUS CHRIST!

We are saved and continue to "be saved...recycled" as Believers in Christ radiating His Truth of the Risen Lord Jesus Christ to a lost and rebellious world. We are the Epistles (Love Letters) of God to a dying humanity and creation!

If we know God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit personally from our own time and relationship with the Godhead....we become Invincible and filled with Rejoicing! Nothing can hold us down, hold us back or stop us as we burst forth in our RACE of FAITH in JESUS CHRIST!

# 1 LIFE GOAL: CHOOSE TO LOVE GOD WITH ALL OF YOUR BEING!

GREAT LEAPS OF FAITH WILL COME WHEN YOU FOCUS UPON GOD AND "LOSE SIGHT" OF YOURSELF!
TRUST and OBEY = REJOICING!
DELIGHT YOURSELF IN GOD!

My Covenant of Peace

Word for the Body of Christ: "My Covenant of Peace"

"Have I not said that I AM the PRINCE of PEACE?
This is a Peace that only I can bring!
Peace through anything in this world and earthly life!
Peace that passes all understanding as many have known!
Peace when the purse and wallet are empty!
Peace when the earthly realm is shouting with noise!
Peace when the body is crying in pain!
Peace when the death of a loved one has arrived!
Peace when nothing makes sense!
Peace when all looks dark and hollow!
Peace when your very breath seems shallow!
Peace when no one is there to hold you!
Peace when even friends and family ignore you!
Peace when all is falling and failing around you!
Peace when their very sword is on your neck!

Fall into My arms and lay at My Feet!
Peace shall rush into your spirit and sweep into the soul!
You are coming to the "end of yourself!"
Faith is being tested in the Fire of My Kingdom Love!
Where can you turn? Who can rescue you?
Know that I will not let you fall or fail...You are mine!
Be still and know...I AM is your GOD!
I AM WITH YOU NOW and FOREVER!
THE PRINCE OF PEACE IS HERE WITH YOU!

Covenant of Peace: Ezekiel 34:25 ~ Isaiah 54:10

My goodness never runs dry.
My tender care is here Forever.
Grow in your Faith in ME.
I can be trusted.
I will never fail you.
You are the center of My attention.
You are the very Apple of My Eye.
Never doubt My Eternal Love for you.
Together, you will rise up in victory and great peace.
I AM your everything you need."

"Your mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens; Your Faithfulness reaches to the clouds." Psalm 36:5

We Rejoice in All of Your manifold works and praise Your Holy Name!
GOD is FAITHFUL! HE SEES EVERYTHING and WATCHES OVER IT ALL.

Make certain you are finding things to laugh at each day, some fun things to do, breathe deeply, walk closely with JESUS and give thanks with praise to GOD our ABBA FATHER!

Do not allow the weariness, fear and depression of the world events touch your life except to stay near to God and Pray for Others who do not know the Agape Love of God through Christ!

"Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus" Philippians 2:5
(one of Paul's several "Prison Epistles"...filled with JOY in Roman chains)

JOY with PEACE is your Life in Christ Jesus! Live It! 

Guard the JOY!  Maintain the PEACE!
