It is as you wish

Hello everyone, since my last question sparked a great discussion I thought I would give you something else to chew on and digest in your inner most parts.

A magician had a bird in his hand behind his back and he asked a 7 yrs old boy Is the bird in my hand dead or alive? The little boy with out hesitation said it is as you wish it to be. Well the magician was shocked to get this sort of response from such a young boy so he confess to the boy that the bird was alive and because he left the choice up to the magician he was given an opportunity to save the birds life. You see if the boy would have responded the bird was dead then the man would have chocked the life out of the bird in order to produce a dead bird for the young boy.

So now my friends I ask you this question, how does life look to you? Do you see the glass half full or half empty. Do you live by the words in Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue and those who love it will eat its fruit. Or do you believe nothing good will ever happen to you and life throws people curve balls and wrecks theirs lives just for the fun of it? Well I challenge you to examine your speech and your views on life because you see my friends life is what you make it. Jim Carey proved this point when he stood on the top of a mountain and proclaimed he was a millionaire and didn't have a dime to his name neither did he believe in God but what he spoke out of his mouth at a critical time in his life was Life not Death and he is now eating the fruit there of.
The principle works for saved and unsaved people lets not forget that one.

This means you!

Amos 3:3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

This short verse spoke volumes to me this morning. So go ahead and answer the question how can two walk together except they agree? Your salvation is a partnership you entered into it when you accepted the blood of Jesus as payment for your sin. Do you walk in agreement with Him on a daily basis? When you read the scriptures do you agree with what you read and then walk it out? This blood covenant we have entered into is not to be taken lightly, a great price was paid for your eternal life.

Is it hard for you to believe that you are blessed and favored by the very one who laid down his life? Do you believe that the Father spoke this world into existence and by the same spoken words you can change your situations? Daily you are loaded up with benefits from the Father. Just like the health insurance you pay into each month comes with benefits so does your salvation, this health plans is fail proof and you don't have to be screened before you are excepted His word tells us to come as we are and He will do the rest.

So what are you waiting for this means you; enter into a partnership with the Savior today, see yourself as He sees you through the eyes of the Father.

Open or broken worshipper

luke 7:37-38 And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that [Jesus] sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment, And stood at his feet behind [him] weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe [them] with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed [them] with the ointment.Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw [it], he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman [this is] that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.

Are you an open or broken worshipper? Now I am sure you are saying and open worshipper. Well that is good but being a broken worshipper is so much better. When you open yourself up to a person you control how much you give and how much you allow them to take. Where a broken worshipper like the woman who anointed Jesus feet comes to him on broken pieces not with a hidden agenda but with a desire to please Him.

She wanted to serve the master while those who invited him to the table never took the time to wash his feet or attend to His needs. When entering worship the best stance to take is one of brokenness not just openness with the limits of control. Worship at his feet and allow him to fill your brokenness with Him wholly.

Zoe

John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly.

Zoe the Greek word meaning Life. Jesus tells us that he came to give us Life and that more abundantly, have you grabbed a hold to that type of life yet or are you still living life as it comes? To have an abundance of something means it overflows you don't have room enough for it, or you have enough to give away or share with others. Jesus exemplified that type of lifestyle when he walked the earth and when he left he said we would do greater works than he did.

Zoe for me is living everyday as if it was your last one, knowing that tomorrow is not promised to you so do the things that God requires of you today and live with great expectancy of tomorrow, and if tomorrow comes it will only be your today all over again.

Mirror Image

Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

How do you see yourself? When you look in the mirror do you see the reflection of the Lord or do you see yourself superficially, with the character defects that we all posses? In times past when I first got saved I had low self esteem, I looked down on the ground when I walked as if I was hoping to find something. Well once I searched the scriptures and found out that I was made in the image of God my outlook changed. I started seeing myself as Christ saw me. Being fearfully and wonderfully made as quoted in Psalms 139:14, being a Victor and not a victim any more. I started seeing the fruit of the spirit develop in my life which reflected the character of God.

Let me encourage you to deafen your ear to the nay Sayers in your life and tune your spiritual ears to hear what the Lord says about you. You are beautiful and a women of worth. Don't believe the lie the enemy will try to sell you search the truth and tell me " what Woman you see in the mirror"

I have come for your words

Hebrews 13:2 Don't forget to show hospitality to strangers, for some who have done this have entertained angels without realizing it!

The word of God tells us that in times past people have entertained angels unaware. Do you realize that God gave us angels to attend to His word, the words you speak according to the word of God. They are waiting and listening to the words that proceed out of your mouth so that they can fulfill the word on your behalf.

Look at Proverbs 18:21 Death and life [are] in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

God spoke this very world into existence by His words and because we have our Daddy's DNA and are made in His image then we can do the same things that He does. Do you see yourself where you are going before you get there? Do you dream about it and see visions of it? Angels have a purpose they are to worship the Father and also to take care of you, what are you saying that causes your angel to come for your words? Don't allow your angel to stand by idle doing nothing while you miss out on what God has already stored up for you.

Unique people

1 Peter 2:9

But ye [are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

Do you believe in the Son even when you don't see Him shinning? Do you believe in Love even when you don't feel it? We are a chosen generation, God chose us we did not choose Him, even when we were in our mess and not willing to commit to his will at all. Imagine that!!! You and I as messed up as we can be have a loving Father that cares enough about us to call us and choose us from the foundation of the world to be his special people to carry out his will on earth, to co-labor with Jesus in spreading the gospel throughout the world. What an awesome privilege to share with our Lord to witness of His loving kindness and be partners with Him in reaching a lost generation. You and I were once in darkness and we were called out by the Father through His wonderful Son Jesus Christ, to walk in the newness of life and to proclaim his glory.

Today when you are doing your time of reflection remember you are chosen and not forgotten, you are a royal priesthood and a holy nation, wear it well.
