Warrior God

For the LORD is the one who shaped the mountains,
stirs up the winds, and reveals his thoughts to mankind.
He turns the light of dawn into darkness
and treads on the heights of the earth.
The LORD God of Heaven’s Armies is his name! (Amos 4:13 NLT)

We as men bear the image of our Warrior God, we were made to fight for truth in this world, to love others as He first loved us!

GRACE

Let grace be the song
That forever rings clear
In my ears

There's nothing like grace

His WAY

The Father knows us, where He is taking us, where He is leading us

He knows what we are going to feel, when we are going to feel it, He knows every up and down, when we will feel victorious and when we will feel overwhelmed and exhausted.

Our God is peace and rest and strength unending! This is our God!

He SPEAKS existence! He speaks and there is life and creation!

He has CREATED every trial and time of rest that you face, and He has gone before you, experienced this all through Jesus coming to earth, and He is guiding you along HIS WAY right now!


I choose to love your ways Father! Always, always, always! Even if I don't understand, even If I don't feel like it!

Whatever it is that you think you aren't capable of doing right now, God wants you to know: you can do it, it is worth it!

HOPE

There is hope to be found in beauty, there is something about beauty, deep piercing beauty that shakes us to the core. It exudes "all is well" and that all is at peace - everything is going to be okay.

That is our hope in our heavenly Father, that we would see him as the most beautiful power In our universe. David sings this perfectly:

The one thing I ask of the LORD—
the thing I seek most—
is to live in the house of the LORD all the days of my life,
delighting in the LORD’s perfections
and meditating in his Temple. For he will conceal me there when troubles come;
he will hide me in his sanctuary.
He will place me out of reach on a high rock. Then I will hold my head high
above my enemies who surround me.
At his sanctuary I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy,
singing and praising the LORD with music. Hear me as I pray, O LORD.
Be merciful and answer me! My heart has heard you say, “Come and talk with me.”
And my heart responds, “LORD, I am coming.” (Psalm 27:4-8 NLT)


May we never take our eyes off the beauty that is you Father! There is healing power in your beauty!

Love & Pain

DECLARATIONS of JOY


One of the most powerful weapon's that we have against the enemy is DECLARATION.

We have been created with mouths to shout and praise our Heavenly Father, they were created for exactly this purpose; to declare how much we love our God and trust Him, to sing and to speak words of life and truth, to speak people's true identity and worth as the Father see's them!

Romans 8:37-39
No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.

OVERWHELMING victory is ours through Christ, we are powerful when we chose to shout, to declare the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22) in our lives, to declare that our God is powerful and more than able to provide and guide us into lives that produce the fruit of the Spirit!

I speak JOY and PEACE into every heart, every soul reading this post right now, Father I believe with everything in me that there is incredible power that resides in our hearts, as you have gifted us with the Holy Spirit! Of course we have the ability to speak these words of life into our lives and the hearts of the broken and weary!

Father would you forgive us for forgetting how powerful you are, would you forgive us for not believing. Open our hearts to the truth that is Your providence for us, help us to understand even deeper today how powerful we are by the Holy Spirit in us, help us to live lives that are unashamed and confident in this power, and then help us to DECLARE this power, truth, and life everywhere that we go, in every situation that we find ourselves in, in every conversation and in every breath we take. We love you God, we love you and we DECLARE our love to you right this moment. You spoke Father, and you created the universe, wow that same power that spoke the stars in their place resides in us! God stir our hearts, with every word we say may it be words of life and truth and encouragement! Let us be in constant prayer and communion with you Father, guide us and give us the exact words for every situation according to your will!

Amen!
