"Rejoice The Lord Said, Rejoice"


REJOICE! the Lord said, REJOICE!.   I asked my self, how am I going to do that?  inside my mind all the reasons why I should not, came into my head!  What should I rejoice about? I have this problem, and that situation, this is not going the way I want it to.  Does this sound familiar?  I'm sure it does.  This pattern of thinking is not of the Lord, it is the negative thoughts that are put into our head by our enemy, the devil.   We need to immediately bind it up and drive it out in the name of Jesus Christ (Yahshua).  The devil knows that the minute we REJOICE, he has lost.

Our joy and happiness comes from our Father in heaven, when he says to REJOICE! we need to begin to REJOICE!.  How do we rejoice?  there are many ways that we can rejoice.  As we read in: I Chronicles 16:8-12 - (8) Give thanks unto the Lord, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people. (9) Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works. (10) Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord. (11) Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face continually, (12) remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth.   How do you apply this to your personal situation?  I am sure that the Lord has intervened in each one of our lives in a way that you know it could only be him.  We can meditate on those things, talk about it to our family members and friends as a testimony (that is talking about his deeds among the people), take a moment during the day to thank the Lord for his blessings and wondrous works in our lives, spend time in the presence of the Lord, he will refresh you.

I want to share a testimony of how coming into the presence of the Lord brought great joy to my sister and I,  He helped us  to rejoice.  My sister and I  had been worshiping, singing and dancing and praising the Lord for about 2 hrs. one morning (which we decided to do together for a period of time) we felt the presence of the Lord in our midst, so we began to kneel before him.  While we were quietly waiting in his presence, I felt laughter welling up inside of me, I could not hold it back, I burst out laughing mildly at first, then harder and harder, I was laughing until my body was shaking with laughter....then my sister was starting to giggle and that sounded so funny I laughed even harder, soon we were both laughing so hard, (still on the floor) that tears were rolling down our faces, we were laughing for about 5 or 10 minutes. we felt so happy and refreshed after that, it lasted for the rest of the day. That's what the Lord can give you, Holy joy!, try it!

What the Lord said, "rejoicing gives life, it gives healing, not just for the people but for the earth, and for the atmosphere." 
Let's help the atmosphere we create, REJOICE!

Psalm 68:3-4
But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.
Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH. and rejoice before him. 

We need to be glad that we are alive at such a wonderful time on the earth, the Kingdom Age! the time of great triumph and joy for the bride (body)of Jesus Christ (Yahshua), Let's get closer to him so that we can really REJOICE!



BELOW IS A SONG I WANT TO SHARE, THAT CAME INTO MY HEART.  ENJOY!

Music Is Our Hidden Heartbeat!


"Every human being has the need to express their inner selves,"says the Lord!

That statement has never been truer than it is now. Self expression is becoming more and more frowned upon and challenged these days. There is so much going on that keeps people from living the way that they really want to, with less and less freedom and liberty. 

The good news is that when you live under an open heaven, where the King of King resides, you are free indeed! Your mind and your heart are at peace and you can see the beauty of life, no matter how hard life seems to be. Our loving Father gave us a precious gift of music. It's

everywhere, all around us in nature.    

Let me share with you, if I may, some revelation from the Lord about the Arts and it's relationship to mankind:

"Every human being has the need to express their inner selves. I have given mankind the capacity to express themselves artistically, in varying ways, and each person needs to engage in these endeavors as a catalyst, or bridge, to their gifts (whatever they might be).  One of the most brilliant brain surgeons of our time (not named here) found revelation  for the solution to the most difficult, seemingly impossible (surgery) problems through nature, music and prayer. His enjoyment and use of classical music during his surgeries was an anchor for him."

The Lord continues...

"I've created music and art to be manifested through My creation, all around mankind, because it is a part of his being. It may not be everyone's profession or passion, but, it was created for man's development--a developmental jump-start."

"The music or art within you is to bring out your science, your techie side, your high academic achievement, or your creative cooking, etc. (whatever your passion is)."


"When people are able to 'tune-in' (to the music around them), their lives blossom. A stagnant lifestyle, on the other hand, is one that ignores the 'music' of life. Music is man's (mankind's) hidden heartbeat. Expressing love is musical! Keep your ears in tune with the music of nature. You will be enriched by it. Walk in joy and in love." (says the Lord). End.


Wow! I was truly blessed by those refreshing words. As a result of my conversations with the Holy Spirit, I've been listening more when I go for my daily walks. What beautiful sounds of nature I hear every day. The birds, the wind rustling through the leaves, the crickets, the squirrels  and the hawks in their cry of alarm. I am also getting back to singing a little more and playing the piano as best I can to release some more music into the atmosphere. You can too!
                          
Imagine what heaven hears coming from the earth. Every planet in our solar system has a sound coming from it. The space shuttles have recorded them.  If everyone on earth began to sing everyday, positive songs out loud, can you imagine what it would sound like? 

Let's make voice prints towards heaven of songs that are thankful, positive and full of praise!  If the average person all over the world began to sing songs of thanksgiving instead of negative songs, it could literally change the atmosphere of our world! 

That's why worship is so important to our well being. All of us worship in varying ways. whether it be singing to our favorite tune, dancing or tapping our feet to a lively song. But worshiping our creator has a more profound effect upon our well being. Acknowledging our creator with a song or dance or playing an instrument will put joy into your spirit and bring a bounce to your step and change your outlook on life! There's something about the way Yahweh made us. Our spirit man needs refreshment and love. Our love toward Yahweh (God the Father) and Yahshua (Jesus) brings joy to us as a response from heaven. This is the reciprocity that takes place when we give our heartfelt thanks and praise to our Creator. 
When you are feeling low or depressed put on some good worship music and begin the thank God for all that He has done for you. Sing your thanksgiving to him in a tune that you've made up in your heart. I will certainly change your mood. Some people say, "oh I can't sing", but we all have vocal chords (unless you've undergone an operation to have them removed) that work and all you need to do is use them to make a sound towards heaven! You will be heard. Mother's always find a way to sing a lullaby to their newborn child. It's a natural thing for us. That same voice can be used to sing a "thank you" to your Creator who blessed you with that child! Don't be shy. Go to a private place if you don't want anyone to hear you and sing softly. God will hear you! He loves hearing his children sing to Him.       
There are many scriptures in the bible that talk about singing, dancing and making a joyful noise unto the Lord. Let's look at some of these:

Ephesians 5:19-20
Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; 20-Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; (kjv).

This is our inner heartbeat in action! 


Exodus 15:21  And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea. 

Miriam sang spontaneously about their triumph!

Exodus 32:18  And he said, It is not the voice of them that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome: but the noise of them that sing do I hear. 

Yahweh hears your singing. So sing to him!


Psalm 149:3  Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.


If you hate singing (I hope no one feels this way) move your feet and arms to a good praise song. Dance before the Lord like David did! Or Learn to play an instrument!

Psalm 96:1-2
Oh sing a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the earth. 2-Sing unto the Lord, bless his name; show forth his salvation from day to day.

Some times while I am working during the day a familiar song I know will come to me and I'll start singing it. Well, sometimes a tune will come to my spirit that I've never heard before. I'll start humming it and start adding to it as I sing. That's a new song! Song writers sometimes wake up in the morning hearing a new song. They develop it into a full piece of music. 

I encourage you to take a situation in your life and start singing it through. You can make up a new song yourself!. Some children make up songs and chants about the things they love or want. Children love singing their favorite songs over and over again, anytime, anywhere.

We can learn from the spontaneity of children in making up a tune ourselves!  What melody can you create to thank the Lord and praise him today?  Let your music change your atmosphere to Joy! Remember, as the Lord said, music is your hidden heartbeat.
