9/15/09

It is a new dawn. I have a quickening in my spirit. There is much to do today. My thoughts are of the Lord. ,'The Joy of the Lord is my strength.'' (Neh:8:10) comes on me. When I could not fall asleep last night I said the scripture over and over. I refuse to give room to the enemy. He tried to fill my tired brain with lies.Then next thing I know I am reaching for my cell phone before it rings.'Get me some juice, Get me some juice'. I must download 'Third Day' or the likes I think to myself..

I push the blinds open on the sliding, glass door. I am rising with the sun. I keep my thoughts on high because he is truth. I am in the light. I will not be defeated by the enemy. Nothing can steal my joy in the Lord unless I hand it over. I know the Holy Spirit is on me. I feel his presence. My body feels like each fiber has come alive with the new dawn. I feel a warmth inside, an excitement to read the Word and speak with Jesus. I thank God for sparing his Son, who shed his blood for me, for you so we could have life and have it more abundantly in him and life everlasting with him. John10:10 I think of the Apostles and how they must have felt when their master returned after his cruicifiction and burial before he ascended into heaven. My heart seems to melt with joy. One day I will be with Jesus. WOW!

I slide the door open and feel the chill of the Autumn air.There is not a cloud in sight. The sun is coming alive in the faint blue sky. I notice the fresh morning dew on the vivid, lush, green, blades of grass. It is as though each blade has a tear drop. I think, tears of joy.Thank You Lord. I hear the bird making himself known to me on this beautiful morning. I have heard the bird for five mornings now. In prayer one morning I asked Jesus for a sign he was near, that he heard my prayer. I knew he heard me but I needed his special touch of assurance. He knows me all so well. The bird chirped. He was obvious, distinct and pleasing to my ear. God sent me a sign. In each fiber of my being I knew it was meant for me.His loves abounds in and around us. I wake with him, I fall asleep with him. He is with me, alive. I smile, God is truly amazing. I praise his name. I think of his love. He sends signs and wonders all the time to confirm he is with me. Not because I am good, but because he is good, very good.. The depth of his love far surpasses my understanding The Father sends me a bird Is that cool or what? I forget so fast. I must be similar to the children of Israel that were headed to the promised land. Their unbelief kept them wandering around, even though God did these supernatural things. It rained manna each morning. Now that is pretty darn obvious. I am so grateful he forgives, he understands.These are the most difficult times we live in. Jesus tells us in his word, 'we are the apple of his eye.' Lam 2:8 This scripture tells me he will cover his children. He will protect the crop.That is amazing Love.

There is a gentle breeze similar to the movement of the Holy Spirit. He moves but we do not see. We feel his presence. He shapes, bends, and touches all that concerns us in our walk. He is our teacher, guide and comforter.The breeze goes in between the yellow and sparse golden leaves moving them ever so gently. It is not harsh nor condemning. I feel the Holy Spirit on me, in me, around me. I know, that I know, I am a child of the Most High God. He has blessed me with his signs and wonders before the sun rises. I sit on my couch. I look out at the splendor.The bird flies from one tree to the next. He is the only bird in sight. I am eternally grateful. I am in awe of the treasures the Lord gives his children.

I recall a distant memory. I was so frightened two years ago when we knew we could not afford our home any longer. Where were we going to live ?. My home sold for $8,000 more then we owed. It was a miracle. It was sold seven days after the 'holy spirit'' told me to put up a 'For Sale' sign. He told me I would know. Know what? On day three I had an open house sign in front. She walked in. I was painting the hallway 'There is no need to paint, we will probably change the colors'. OMG I knew, yes! On day seven she brought the funds to hold the home. In two weeks we were expecting foreclosure notice. We made it under the line. God is a miracle working God.

I dress with the 'Armor of God'. I put on the Helmet of salvation, ,the Breast plate of righteousness, the Shield of favor, and the sword, in 'his name' Ephesians 6:10-20. The Holy Spirit goes before me like the wind. The 'world' does not know him. They do not see him. he moves over, brews over, hovers over and makes the path for our situation's in life. The hand of the Lord is on my coming and goings. These are promises from God. They have always been. they always are. John3:8. The sun is up, the hour has past. I feel like a sponge absorbing the fresh, living water.

I pray for my family, friends, the lost.our President and Israel. I am ready to walk this day. I am dressed for the occasion. Living with Jesus is exciting and joyous. Laugh and be merry. He has a paradise waiting for you, for me. He is our Father, we are his children. This is the day the Lord made. Keep your eyes wide open for his signs and ears open for his wonders.

If the enemy tries to move in, cast him out with the sword. At the 'name of Jesus'. he must flee. I ask to be a beacon of light and hope in a fallen world. I visualize a 'God Wink'. I know it is him. I raise my hands in Praise. Thank You God.

We are off for the day. In the distant I hear the bird chirp. He will be back. A tear drops to my hand. A tear of Joy.This is going to be a Glorious Day. Then I hear my husband, "do I smell bacon?" "NOT I reply, but soon". I chuckle.

May God Bless you Richly, With Love, skye2day.

Truth for the Day 'Christianity is an experience, not a religion" 'pab'

If you are not sure of your salvation. If you are not 'borne agian'it is a free gift. Ask Jesus into your heart, repent of your sin, believe he was raised from the dead and you will be saved. John 3:16. If you said the prayer and believe in your heart then you are borne again You are new n Jesus Christ. (Jesus God's Son). ( Christ anointed one). He is your Lord and Savior. Jesus loves you. Get a Bible, read it. One will come to you if you do not have one, yet.. Go to a Bible Based Church and hang on to the seat of your pants for the ride of your life. Alleluia. The angels sing Praise's in Heaven when one that is Lost is found and saved..
