The Greatest Lover...

What can be said about today? 
A day for lovers. Are you a lover?
Who was the greatest lover?
I will give you a hint by taking excerpts from a beautiful poem between a lover and his betrothed...                                            
                                                  
Lover: My love,...your cheeks are lovely with ornaments,

Your neck with its strings of beads;
We will make you ornaments of gold,studded with silver.

Betrothed:... to me the man I love is a sachet of myrrh,
Lodged between my breasts;
To me the man I love is a spray of henna flowers,
In the vineyards of 'En-Gedi'.

Lover: look at you, my love, how beautiful you are!               
Your eyes are doves---

Betrothed: Look at you! So handsome,
So pleasing, my darling! Our bed is the greenery;
Cedars are the beams of our houses, cypresses the rafters.

Lover: Like a lily among thorns is my darling among the other women.

Beloved: Like an apple tree among the other trees in the forest,
Is my darling among other men.
I love to sit in his shadow; his fruit is sweet to my taste,
He brings me to the banquet hall; his banner over me is love.
The voice of the man I loved! Here he comes,
Bounding over the mountains, skipping over the hills!
My darling is like a gazelle or young stag.
There he is standing outside our wall,
Looking through the windows peering through the lattice.
My love says to me...

Lover: Get up, my love! My beauty! Come away!
...My dove, hiding in holes in the rock,
In the secret recesses of the cliff,                                                  

                 
Let me see your face and hear your voice;
For your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely.

Beloved: My darling is mine, and I am his,
As he pastures his flock among the lilies.
Before the daytime breeze rises and the shadows flee,
Return, my love, like a stag or gazelle on the hills of Beter.

This is the most beautiful poem of love I've ever read. Does it sound familiar to you? It gets even deeper and intimate as it goes along. Yes, you guessed it. Shir-HaShirim (Song of Songs)! If you don't know how to be a lover just try reading this book of the Bible! You are sure to pick up some pointers. Solomon was a great lover, no doubt about it, he had many wives and He loved God. He fulfilled the commission he was given to build the House of the Lord and he was diligent and used the most exquisite of materials. But who is the greatest lover?

Let's take a closer look at this relationship:
He says, Chapter 2:14--Oh my dove...She, in His loving tenderness, is blameless and harmless in His eyes...

Phil 2:15--That you may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom you shine as lights in the world.

This is how Yahshua (Jesus) sees his beloved bride! The very character of a dove. The bride has the privilege of access and safety in the "secret of the stairs" (S.S. 2:14) meaning access to His presence. 

Ephesians 2:18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. 


This poem is a significant key. It is not just talking about the love of a man and a woman, but a much deeper, and higher kind of love, an eternal love. This poem is perfectly describing the love that Jesus has for His Bride the church and body of believers. He is constantly wooing us through the Holy Spirit, pursuing his beloved, caring for, providing for, protecting, covering and loving us. We are the most blessed people on the face of the earth because we have the greatest lover of all times running after us to keep us close to Him! How beautiful is that? He never lets us down, He is always available, never condemning and always wanting the very best for his beloved (the body of believers), considers us beautiful. 

Today is a special day for lovers. In the human sense, I guess, people need reminders, so, a specific day was set aside for it. But God feels this way towards you everyday! He wants to be close to you. He waits for you to respond to His love. As you read the entire poem (Song of Songs). Pay close attention to the beloved's responses to her lover. She adores him, she is responsive to his love. He runs after her and she runs after him, looking for his love. As a believer you are His bride, His beloved. Practice responding more intimately to your Lover, the Holy One, who gave up His life for you and is so tender towards you. How are you responding? Are you dull, and monotone in our prayers to him? Prayer, praise and worship is your communication back to Him. Do you do this with your whole heart or is it an old habit like fast food?

As we learn to respond to the love God has for us by speaking words of adoration and love towards Him our love will grow stronger and we will be better able to respond instantly to His unfailing love! There is so much in this poem that can be explored, so many lessons about love here. But this is not a day of deep pontification about love. It is a day to demonstrate the love of God towards others and to realize that it should be a daily occurrence. 

Have a wonderful day!

The Heart of GOD For 2015

January has come and gone. We are in the season of a multiplicity of changes. Changes in our neighborhoods, cities and nation; Changes in our personal lives. When I say "season" I am not talking about winter, spring, summer or fall but a time frame in the heavens that God is moving on the earth. Most of what I spoke of for 2014 is continuing into 2016.

Today, I would like to share with you some prophetic word from the heart of Jesus (Yahshua) for this year 2015, as given to me this morning during worship:

Here's What The Holy Spirit Said,
"My Children, "intimacy" is the important key to navigating through this year of multiplicity of events happening all around the world. Pour out your hearts in love for Me and I will bring stability, provisions and unprecedented clarity of direction to My children. Not just corporately, though more necessary than before, but individually, at home in your private chambers.  I want more of your heart so that you may know My heart and experience My power in your situations, for you and your families. You will walk in wisdom and in confidence that the choices you make are of me. Let me speak to you, open your heart and I will guide you. You are not alone no matter where you are." Says the Lord!

"I am committed to lifting up My Bride, spiritually, physically and financially, so that they may be the "manifested" sons and daughters that I have called them to be. There will be many distractions and confusion as to which direction to go in business, in education, in banking and in everyday living. But those who  know My heart through intimacy with Me will  never be shaken. Let me pour out my solutions to problems through you, out to others. Let me share my heart with you that you not be children of confusion, wondering what to do when trouble comes. You will manifest My wisdom and many will come to you for help."

"Trouble is already here but will come in more intensity as the year goes forward. My hand is in the changes that will take place in this country because I am changing the guards, I am putting in place things that will empower my people to stand in strength and confidence during the upheavals." Says the Lord!

"Pray for one another and keep your focus on Me. My Kingdom will be manifested as never before, through the Body as a whole, through families and individuals. But, some are still asleep. Wake Up sleeping bride for as your eyes open the world will not be as you knew it before. It's time for decisive action, for "knowing" what to do."

"This is not a time for fear, mourning, weeping. Lift up your head and speak forth your praise! Rejoice! For My faithful children will shine in this hour of darkness."  Says the Lord! End of Message.

Praise God for His glorious power! I thank Him for His word. People of God, Rejoice!

Humility Under The Master's Hands

Humility is probably an overused but least favored topic. What is true humility? Is it something you can conjure up yourself? How can you tell when you have it? I searched for the answer to these questions. I promise you, I will not use any dictionary definition, neither Hebrew nor Greek. But I will say I've received some revelation from the Lord that I'd like to share with you. 

Here's the beginning quote...

"To be humble is not a feeling of lowliness as a result of external lack or deficiency in any area of your life. Often when you are keenly aware of your short-comings, failings, inadequacies or mistakes to the point where it creates negative emotions of self-condemnation, you are centering your thoughts on self (self-centered)..." 


The evil one can use these kinds of emotions to bring you into depression, self-pity, feelings of inadequacy or ineptness. These are the best environments for your enemy, the devil, to bring continuing unhappiness into your life. You can stop that negative syndrome! You want to live a life of happiness, joy, and to bring good things towards you!
Yahshua, talks a lot about humility in his ministry on earth. in Luke 18:14 

Another good scripture is:

1Pe 5:6  Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:

Humility Under The Mater's Hands. Jesus practiced what He preached! 

The Lord continues...
"Picture me on the cross as the Son of God. God the Father and I are One in splendor, power and glory. I (Jesus) stepped outside of this realm of glory--being rejected by my own people, and even the people that I healed and showed great compassion for. They all flew the coupe! I (Yahshua), having power and authority, did not use my power to save myself. Nor did I defend myself against those who spit on me, mocked me, slapped, kicked, whipped, scourged and beat me. They made me look like an evil enemy and beat me up to the point where I became unrecognizable." 

"I was considered less than a man, as the world would see it. You see, a "real" man, as some would say, would've fought to the death to save himself, taking lives with him if he could; At least defending himself and dying in 'honor'."

I continue what the Lord said to me...."I died in shame and humiliation, according to the world's standards. I became sin for you. My Father stepped away, turned His head. I was stripped of My status and position as "His heart"--His inner being. I became as His enemy at that moment, carrying all of your sins, down to hell as a penalty for those sins. Rejected of men and God.  However, My Father reserved My place in Him. I did not stay in the state of rejection and humiliation. I arose in Glory with honor from My Father! I sit at His right hand!" 

That is really something to think about. Most of the times we are not even willing for people we know to talk against us or misuse us. We immediately want to "get even" instead of loving them and speaking the word of God over them, and praying for them.

The Lord continues the conversation...

"True humility is when you no longer need the external accolades, praise and acceptance from man. You desire to live in me to the point where you are no longer living in the "fleshly" realm (attitudes, issues, carnality). Your hunger for me (Jesus/Yahshua) brings a maturity to your character. The more you strive to become like me, the more humble you become on the inside. You are striving to become like me in every thing---the way you react to circumstances, the way you think and  live like me. This process causes you to become humble on the inside because you know that without me you cannot live, you are nothing. It is not a thought but a state of being and doing. You are confident in my power and my love to move and flow through you. You yield your life. You no longer need the external circumstance of trial to keep you humble, though if you should have to you are able to flow with me in it (the trial) and not falter. You also know that when the "fleshly" side of you crowds in, the less of my glory emanates from you. The more troubles will come into your life to remind you of the humility you must have." (End of Quotes)


The most powerful example of humility is shown by the greatest person that ever lived on this earth, Yahshua (Jesus), the Son of God. Let us humble ourselves under the Master's hands and He will elevate us to share in His glory in due time!

It's so wonderful to hear the revelation and wisdom of God. The Lord never fails to teach us his ways. As James 1:5 says, "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that gives to all men liberally, and abrades not (withholds not); and it shall be given him." 

So don't think it strange when I say, "this is what the Lord told me". The Lord speaks to all of His children in varying ways.We edify one another when we share what the Lord gives us at the appropriate times. So don't be afraid to share as the Lord inspires you to. Let the Spirit of God guide you in all things.

 Let us consider these things deeply as we continue to draw closer to God in preparation for what He is going to do with you during this year.  The elevation of the Body of Yahshua is on His heart. We are about to experience the most glorious time ever! But elevation for some at this point could bring disastrous results. When you yield to the Spirit of God He can work in you the attributes that are necessary to help you become ready to carry the Glory as manifested sons and daughters of the living God. Pray that you will not miss this one! Let Him work in you whatever is needed to respond to Him, NOW.

"God Gives Gifts To Men (Mankind)"...

During this holiday season many people are contemplating what kind of gift to give their loved ones. Maybe some have already set these gifts aside. Everyone likes to receive gifts! Some people may not believe in gift-giving during this time of year.  Whatever your belief, I'm positive that you enjoy giving and receiving a gift at some time in your life.

Just as a parent loves to give gifts to his/her children, how much more so does our heavenly Father love to give gifts to us, his children?

God Gives Gifts to Mankind! 


Psa 68:18  Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them.

Yahshua, gave up His life willingly, descended into hell, defeated captivity, ascended up to the throne of Yahweh His Father and received the gifts for all of mankind, even the disobedient, and evil ones. They have gifts too, but they use those gifts for evil against mankind. 

Rom_11:29  For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. 

The gifts that Yahweh has given are not earned by righteousness or repentance, they are freely given to all even those outside of he household of faith. You can see that manifested all over the world, in sports, music, actors, fashion designers, architects, doctors, etc. These have nothing to do with whether you are holy or unholy.

Eph 4:8  Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. 

Yes, many religious people think the gifts are talking about spiritual gifts like, faith, healing, working of miracles, word of wisdom, word of knowledge, prophecy, discerning of spirits, speaking in tongues and interpretation of those tongues, as in, I Corinthians 12:-10. We as believers also know that salvation, grace, love and the greatest of all gifts is Eternal Life! This is true, but that's not all.

1Co 12:1  Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. 

The spiritual gifts are given to believers (in Yahshua/Jesus) through the Holy Spirit that one receives once you give your life to Yahshua. Even though it's through the same Holy Spirit, no two people will use these gifts in exactly the same way! They are to be used for the benefit and edification of everyone in the Body of Yahshua. There's no room for jealousy here.

God does give spiritual gifts to His children through the Holy Spirit. Some mimic these spiritual gifts as children. How many have said, "My son is going to be a pastor, or a preacher because they are already imitating what they hear in church and can do it at home on your "soap box"!
                                                                                           
Some parents are able to nurture this.  Parents may know ahead of time, what spiritual gift the child will walk in later through a word of knowledge from the Holy Spirit.    But until the child receives the Holy Spirit they are just in preparation stage or just imitating. Some exceptional children receive the Holy Spirit as early as four years old!  If after they receive Yahshua (Jesus) and Jesus gives them the spiritual gift of preaching or prophesying., that young person grows in it and literally launches into his or her calling as a youth, then continues into adulthood! This is truly an obvious spiritual gift, and a real blessing! 

Many, though, find out theirs later on in life after receiving the Holy Spirit.  Some believers have had to ask Yahweh for the manifestation of a spiritual gift like I did. I wanted, desperately, to speak in tongues. I was baptized at 18 years old  and received the Holy Spirit. I knew I had it because I was a different person, the understanding of God's word exploded in me, I was an over comer! I just didn't know about speaking in tongues. Our church didn't teach it.

As I became aware of the power of tongues I began to desire it. I read some where that a person had asked for it and received it. I asked God for it and after tarrying one whole year, I suddenly, began to speak in tongues during my worship time. Yahweh gave it to me. It just burst forth from me. No one was around to prompt me nor did I have to repeat after anyone. What a joy! This gift has helped me through some turbulent times! Tongues build you up on the inside and aligns you with your destiny! It's a holy language that only Yahweh understands. You can also ask for interpretation, which the Holy Spirit gives freely.

(Act 2:3-4  And they saw tongues, like flames of fire, coming to rest on every one of them. 4-  And they were all full of the Holy Spirit, and were talking in different languages, as the Spirit gave them power.) (Act 19:6  And when Paul had put his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they had the power of talking in tongues, and acting like prophets.)

But, there are other kinds of gifts, called talents which are gifts that are built inside of each person genetically from their parents or family line. 

Yahweh has given each person special gifts or talents to develop and use for the service of mankind. Some people are excellent cooks (that's not my gift!), writers, actors, painters, artists, singers, inventors, scientists, athletes, etc. The list is enormous, why? Because Our Heavenly Father is so vast that all of mankind that ever existed still could not possibly

encompass all that He is! Yet He has given each one of us something that is unique to us. Even though we may have millions of artists? in the world, there are no two who express themselves in the same way.

 "God gives gifts to men".   

So, what is your spiritual gift (manifesting through the Holy Spirit) and or talent (passed down from your family)? What are you doing with it? Are you just sitting on it, or, did you bury it?   

What is the difference between a talent and a gift? Here's my explanation:

A gift is a spiritual supernatural manifestation that the Holy Spirit gives you when you give your life to Yahshua/Jesus. It is not something you've earned or worked for. It stays with you and is never taken away, even when you make mistakes, as longans you choose to walk with Yahweh. It is freely given to you for the edification of the Body of Messiah to do the work of the Kingdom and to give glory to Yahweh.

Talents or natural gifts are found in families, passed down genetically from generation to generation. It is nurtured easily or developed through hard work, but it's joyful work and something that you love to do and are fitted for. You don't mind the time it takes to learn the skill or craft.  

The more you learn the better you become. Soon others begin to notice how well you do. If you stop developing your talent you can lose some of it and would have to start all over again. But it's born into you and can be developed again. You can usually tell your natural gift by what you love to do most, whether it be a hobby or your favorite past-time, it's probably your gift! At least that's how I've come to understand it through my own experience.

Yahshua (Jesus) taught in parables. The parable of the talent is quite interesting. He's talking about the Kingdom of heaven: read it on your own-Matthew 25:14-29.

But I will mention this one scripture because it's so appropriate for those who are not doing anything with their talents...

Mat 25:29  For to everyone who has will be given, and he will have more: but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away. 

So many believers are only utilizing their spiritual gifts, forgetting that they have natural talents to develop as well. Don't bury them or leave them on the shelf. Sometimes they are hidden, but you can discover what are. They are usually those things you are keenly interested in and could enjoy doing all day long if given the opportunity.  You will have more variety of opportunities to do the work of the Kingdom in the market place and in the church! Let Yahweh expand your territory through all of your gifts!

"God Gives Gifts To Men". 

To whom much is given, much is required! Some people have multiple natural talents. As Yahshua/ Jesus mentioned in the parable of the talents some were given ten talents some five talents and some one talent. There's time for everything under the sun, even a time to develop the talents which God has given you.  Ask Him to give you opportunity to develop and use all of them to His honor and glory!

When you develop your natural talents and use your spiritual gifts to glorify your heavenly Father, whether it be in business or work, a student or a mom at home, you will have a more rewarding life on earth and multiply your rewards in heaven!

The Power Of A Good Attitude--"A Rejoice And Be Glad Story"

 Let me share with you a story of how I learned to have a good attitude through good and bad times alike. It all begins in a city in West Africa called Cape Coast,in Ghana West Africa. It was Sunday morning and I was at  church service during prayer time and the pastor was leading us all in prayer. He started directing us in each phase of our collective prayer as to what we were to pray about. Now if you are not familiar with how prayer is done in most charismatic or spiritual churches in West Africa, let me briefly describe how it is done. Whoever is leading prayer will make sure that everyone is engaged in every aspect of prayer. There is no passive listening to whoever is praying and just saying "Amen" at the end. The prayer leader will describe each phase for example: "Let's give thanks to the Lord". Then every one in the place will open their mouth and start giving thanks out loud in their own words what they want to give thanks for, until directed to stop. Then the next subject may be Let's ask for forgiveness etc.

So as we started praying I was disturbed in my spirit about my own particular situation. I was thinking about all the promises that Yahweh (God The Father) had given me regarding my station in life, my finances, my mission etc. I was starting to feel annoyed because I did not see the evidence yet, of all the promises He had given me regarding my personal life being fulfilled. It seemed that every time I would get a breakthrough in my finances or business it would not last. I seemed to be in a cycle of moving forward then sliding backwards. I was annoyed and frustrated so I decided to break away from the communal prayer and pray about my own issue. I wanted an answer--Yahweh (God) you promised this but yet I'm receiving something else.  Why, Why, Why, I was complaining. I must admit I did not have a good attitude, I continued on with my own wailing and whining until prayer was over.

After church I, my wife and children went home. As soon as we got in, my wife Theresa grabbed the remote control and "BLAM"-- on went the TV and true to Sunday tradition, there was a Preacher of a Mega Church from Nigeria preaching to his congregation. I was not too thrilled about hearing some more preaching. I kinda wanted to scold her about this preacher thing but held my peace.

The first thing I heard the preacher say was: "rejoice and be glad" He would read from the bible a verse about rejoicing give a personal testimony then return to the phrase (which was his theme) "rejoice and be glad".

Psalm 188:24-"This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it".

I started to pay attention a little bit. The first story he started with was the testimony of his meager beginnings in the ministry. He shared with us how God called him into the ministry and he began with eight people in his house. The hard wood benches with no backs that he would bring from the back room (their bedroom) that people had to sit on--unbeknownst to them, doubled as their beds. No matter what the hardship he would still--"rejoice and be glad". Then the eight people turned to ten then fifteen and each time he and his wife would--you guessed it "rejoice and be glad". He would read another scripture tell another story then back to

Psalm 188:24-"This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it".

He continually admonished his audience the importance of rejoicing no matter what your circumstance.

Another experience he shared was how they would have to travel by train to various places for the ministry with their raggedy and tattered luggage. Their luggage would be so raggedy and tattered they would have to tie it up with belts and ropes to keep it together. They would place the luggage at the other end of the car that they were in so that they could keep an eye on it out of the corner of their eyes, without people suspecting it was theirs. Again--you guessed it: "rejoice and be glad".

The testimony started to penetrate my spirit and I became interested in what he was saying. I could really relate. My bad attitude started to change to a good attitude.

Then he talked about how the blessing angels when they are sent from heaven with blessings look for and are drawn to those who are rejoicing--they don't go to the ones sulking in the corner with a bad attitude. He used the analogy of a Father who comes home from work tired and glad to be home. When his children see him and start running to him with all their might happy to see him screaming and jumping with delight it is a normal reaction for him to reach into his pocket to want to give them something. A good attitude invokes such a positive response. The one sulking in the corner with a bad attitude, not coming to greet him, does not illicit that type of response.

I could surely relate to that. So true, when my children run to me with glee and excitement It touches me in that same way. WOW! I was beginning to get the message. You guessed it. No matter what the circumstance it is in my best interest to "rejoice and be glad" and have a good attitude.

Finally the story that put the nail in the coffin so to speak and completely changed my outlook and attitude from the coffin of despondency, bad attitude and discouragement  was this:

The example of the high jump athlete. After clearing the first height the bar will be raised and after the second height it  is raised again. As the bar gets higher and higher the athlete has to go back further and further so that he can gain enough momentum to clear the next height.

That was the complete answer to my conversation and prayer I had that very morning with Yahweh (God the Father). Thank you Father I said I learned my lesson. I now know how important it is to maintain a good attitude no matter what. I will no longer complain and moan and wail when I go through adversity and trials  and troubles on my road to the fullness of my destiny. I will rejoice and be glad. I hope this rejoice and be glad story will be of help and encouragement to you as much as it was for me and help you keep a good attitude through every experience on your way to the fullness of your ordained destiny in life.

Psalm 188:24-"This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it".

"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!

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.
