Releasing Grace through the Spirit of Tongues

Monastic Wisdom for Everyday Living

I wrote this passage below after hearing a message about:” How to release Grace by Praying in the Spirit.” This is something we must do every day if we want the manifestation of the Spirit realm to come forth in the Physical realm. You may not understand the revelation that was given to me, but there has been a shift in the Spirit realm today.  Sometimes I pray in the spirit and don’t understand why I’m praying that way.  This is something that has been going on for quite some time.  I would start walking down the street and break out in tongues. Changing the atmosphere before my day has begun.  I remember when I began my walk with the Holy One; I would hear a still small voice say “pray, pray;” not realizing that the Holy Spirit knew the power of my Spiritual tongues. He knew that when I would pray in my Holy tongue, a powerful change would take place. The power of His amazing Grace, His glory and will on this earth will be done.

Thy Kingdom come thy will be done, (speaking in my heavenly language), in earth as it is in Heaven. Hallelujah, give us this day our daily (the word of God that is written on our hearts, which is branded on our minds) bread; and forgive us debts as we forgive our debtors.(Our sins and those who have sinned against us)  And lead us not into temptation,(don’t let us yield to temptation) but deliver us from evil,(deliver us from the evil one) for thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory,(for it is your Kingdom and your Glorious Power that lives within us) forever Amen.

Pray in the Spirit if you have the gift of tongues. Release those things, those promises, those healings, those love ones who need to know that redemption for them has come. It is time for the Sons and Daughters of the Most High God to come forth as His Glorious ones.  The earth awaits us and it is time for the Father’s Glorious Kingdom to come, and for those of us in Spirit and in Truth to become as one.

Love, loves me

Why is it that I didn’t get to choose love, but love chose me? Love paid a price for me, and it wasn’t free. Love made a sacrifice so I could be free. Whipped thirty-nine times until like raw meat, nailed to a tree and not once did love complain; love lay down and took all my pain. Crushed with thorns that would have driven any man out of his mind, but through the blood in his eyes he saw mine.

I didn’t choose love, it chose me. Complicated is love to me, never ask for love to stand in the gap for me. To give up paradise so I could have eternity. Never asked for love to do this for me, funny how love knew what needed to be. It’s a mystery to the angels and me, how Love can love beyond anything we can understand, and to give us a choice to love freely is something beyond me.
To leave instructions on how it was really meant to be. In the beginning it was Love and me. Walking and talking in the cool of the eve. Where creation was in harmony with Love and me, everything was as it should be. Love teaching me and having everything I need. Nothing missing, nothing lacking is what Love has for me. Love takes care of me if I choose to believe, and with Love I am forever free.
So the question is still left to be answer. Why is it that I didn’t get to choose Love, but love chose me? Because I didn’t create me to be pleasing to me, I was created from love to please Love. I am the in the image of Love and not in the image of me. It’s a complex question with a simple answer.

A Resolution to a New Years Revolution

I haven’t blogged anything for awhile, please forgive me,
but I only write as the Spirit leads me.
The month of January is always a challenging month for me.
A time for new beginnings, a time to trust Him when I can not see.
So many of us become optimistic of the future and what lies
ahead. We start our twenty-one day fast in hopes to make
a brand new start, praying for something new to happen
instead of praying for God to change our hearts.
All our Father really wants from you is to sit with him and
allow Him to dwell in you.
Our temple is for his to habitation, not a place where the flesh
can continue infestation.
A Living Stone our we, with Him as the cornerstone, which is above the
apostles, prophets and priests.
The church is in you, not the four walls you go to. When you attend
church His presence should already be abiding in you,
not in the pews that seat you.
The word is the foundation that must work in our lives, it is
the truth that can not be compromise.
We must not fail to have a relationship with him, it is a relationship of
the beginning and end, today and yesterday so we may have
eternal life with him.
Yes, this month we began anew. I Pray that you will allow the
His Holy Spirit to revolve in you.

What Image Are You?

As the holiday season is upon us, I can’t help but see all the images that portray the season we’re in. It’s Christmas hooray and more, seeing the worries on people’s faces as they run around looking for the best deals for their daily, weekly or monthly wages.
Hum, I think to myself as they race through the store. Have they thought about those who can’t afford? Have they thought about them all year long? Did they know that some one has lost their home and everything they own? They have a gimme, gimme, gimme look on their worried little faces. I pay my offerings and tithes with a smug look on their faces.
They say they are Christians you see, they say that, greater is he who is me; “hey, hey, hey, look at me. I am the image of Christ that’s what a Christian means.” Oh really I think to myself, well let me see. When was the last time you took a friend to church, or called to see if they needed anything, to make sure they weren’t sick or hurt? When did you pay some ones’ rent so they wouldn’t be out with only their shirt? When did you clean out your pantry, refrigerator or give away the best clothes you don’t wear? “I do that”, you say, “I do that once every year.” Oh yes, Christmas time I suppose, that’s when it’s proper to give with cheer,” Tis the season to be jolly, during this time of year.” But what is your image all year long? Is Christ only there when good fortune comes along? Is it there when the haves’ have and the have not s’, not; Um, I think not. The image of Christ is all year round you see. The Image of Christ is not the gifts under the tree or a once a year thing, don’t you see. The image that so many claim to have is when you give your last so your neighbor can have. It’s a sacrifice, an image of love from you to me. The Image that was portrayed by the man you call Savior who die and rose again so we can be free.
It says in his word to love completely, all year long; not when it’s the proper time or when you fortune seems to be on the raise. Give of your time in prayer and song. Give, not just at this time but all year long. This is the image you want others to see, an image of Christ who showed us how to be in his and not in the image of I, you or me.

"Blessed to Be a Blessing"- This is an ACT of Kingdom Principles.

From time to time I like to show movie trailers or music videos of my favorite artist, but this time I would like to share an act of kindness. This act of kindness is not something new. It was practiced in the early church. The book of Acts talks about how the assembly of born again Christians would come together and give to those in need. The widows, orphans and the poor. They would sale whatever they had and give to those who had a greater need. No one had more than the other. Acts 2:44,45
This church "Valley Kingdom" is a prime example of a practice that needs to be put back into action in all of our churches. Feeding the homeless and giving out rations from the benevolent fund is not good enough. If you have tithe paying members in the congregation, then it is your responsibility to make sure that every member has their needs met. No hand me downs either. Give them the best, because God gives you the best. Set out a basket in front of the sanctuary for people to give every week, better yet take up and offering and let those who are in need take what need from the basket. It is amazing how one dollar can add up when you have a membership of five thousand. It is time for us to step up and not allow the government to be our source, but to give what our heavenly Father has blessed us to give. He made sure your needs are met; now it's time for you to make sure others are met too. For it says in Luke 6:38 Give, and [gifts] will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will they pour into [the pouch formed by] the bosom [of your robe and used as a bag]. For with the measure you deal out [with the measure you use when you confer benefits on others], it will be measured back to you. Amplified Bible
This testimony should not be so unusual; it should be the norm among born again believers. God wants to shine through us not around us. He wants to show the children of darkness who he is through the children of light. So let us come together and be a blessing to one another as this assembly was a blessing to this young woman and her family.

“Searching for Enoch”

I was doing some research on Enoch today. Why Enoch you may ask yourself. I thought the same thing when I was in meditation this morning, but there is something to be said about this great man of faith. He’s mentioned once in the Old Testament, and twice in the New Testament. Other than that, very little is said about him. Not many preachers talk about him, if any thing is said, it usually is in passing. Like, “Enoch walked so close to God that he took Enoch with him.” So I asked myself why, why isn’t there enough information about a man who had so much faith that God didn’t allow him to face death. So I went to Hebrews 11:5 and it says; Because of faith Enoch was caught up and transferred to heaven, so that he did not have a glimpse of death; and he was not found, because God had translated him. For even before he was taken to heaven, he received testimony [still on record] that he had pleased and been satisfactory to God. Amplified

Well the answer to that needs very little explanation. God taking Enoch was enough to let any one know it was his faith, and the fact that he knew God very well. In other words you have to know him to go with him. God was just so blown away by how much faith Enoch had in him that he said “you know what, man you don’t belong here; why don’t you just come with me.” Whew, can you imagine not having to face death. Oh how awesome that would be. Just to be in the presence of our heavenly Father so much that you just transcend into the heavens. Wow, I feel a shout comin on.

I had to step back for a minute and think about the relationship Enoch and God had. They talked about everything, I’m sure they were the best of friends. This may sound weird, but they had a great love affair. One that was deeper than a man or woman together could ever have. It says in Genesis 5:24 the Amplified version that “Enoch walked [in habitual fellowship] with God;” which means it was an everyday experience; it was the norm for Enoch. Now think about how much time we spend confessioning God’s love and saying that we are Christians, but we don’t spend any time in fellowship with him. It says in Matthew 6:33: But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you. Amplified
That means the things that seem important to us are not as important as spending time with God and what he has to say in his word. The Holy Spirit pointed out to me, that this is the type of relationship he would like to have with me, with you, with us. He wants to be so close that nothing can penetrate the relationship we have with him. That’s the kind of relationship he had with Enoch. Nothing came between them, not family, job, or his personal possessions, because it was God who gave it to him in the first place. Enoch did not concern himself with what everyone else was doing. He stayed in constant communication with God.

I was reading an article written by Julia Shipley “Bible Stories- Enoch” on http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Julia_Shipley. Ms. Shipley stated that “Because Enoch and God walked together, Enoch must have learned to walk in step with God and listen for His voice. We too, may walk with Him, if we believe His Word and obey it.” Julia also stated that “one cannot walk very well on one foot. It takes two! These two feet tell us what it means to walk by faith as Enoch did. One is marked BELIEVE and the other one is marked OBEY.”

Think about it, his relationship was greater than the one he had with Abraham and he is considered the father of faith. But Enoch had that God pleasing faith; he believed and obeyed God no matter what, because he knew God, he listened to God and trusted God. Although he could not see him, this faceless man, he believed in him. It was Enoch’s spirit man talking and walking with the Spirit of God; and everyday for them was Eden.

Lord, may I forever be in your presence, this day and always. Amen

Reading Purpose p31's blog

I was reading Purpose p31's blog titled "Get Real and Get Ready!" on Myspace from a year ago. The woman can preach. She was talking about how we don't have much time left until Jesus comes back. I tell you one thing it made me want to repent all over again.

Believe it or not the message is still the same. People, we need to get right with God. When he comes back we have no excuse. We can't say we didn't know. With all the information out here about God's perfect will and plan, we make life hard for ourselves. Don't let the devil deceive you into thinking you have all the time in the world; because like Purpose said, Jesus is coming back. All it takes is a simple prayer. A choice to allow God to govern you life. I rather have God than satan.

You know, the one thing God wants from us is a relationship. That's all, that's why he created us in the first place. That's why he made us in his own image. Every since the fall of man, God has been desperately trying to get us back. Think about it, who do you know that would send their son to die for you so you can live forever. I don't know anyone who would do that. I don't know any one who can set me free from torment, doubt and fear, that's what the devil does. Oh yeah, he will show you a good time for a while, but it won't last. The wages of sin is death. Which means, not being in the presence of God and that is what the devil is trying to do. Keep you out of the presence of God. God gives you peace, joy, and happiness; and most of love. Who else can do that? No one here on earth; the only person I know who can do that is my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Being in his presence every day has changed my life. Your's too if you let him. Wouldn't you rather be in his presence forever than to be eternally separated from him? I know I do, God knows I do.
Give him a try. Don't wait until it's too late. Don't be one of the ones turned away on judgment day.

Ask God to show you, ask him to forgive you and make things right. Say, Lord I need you. I am a sinner, forgive me of all my sins. Cleanse me and make me whole again. Come into life and change my life, in Jesus Name, Amen. That's it, that's all, it's done.
Your a new creature in Christ. Old things passed away, everything new again. Welcome to the body of Christ. If you have any questions don't hesitate to write.
Oh yeah here is Purpose p31 blog if you would like to read it:blogs.myspace.com/purpose_p31. It's really powerful.

But seek ye first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33 KJV

There is no excuse!!!

You remember when you were in school and the teacher gave you an assignment to write a hundred-word essay on whatever topic he or she happens to choose. Better yet, let us talk about the term papers you had to write when you were in college. Yeah, am sure you remember those days.

There was always a due date, and the instructor always gave you plenty of time to do the research on the topic, but some of us tend to procrastinate. Telling ourselves, we work really well under pressure; or I do my best work when I wait until the last minute. However, some do not do the assignment at all, and look stupid when they get a failing grade.

You are probably wondering where am going with this. Well, I was sitting here on the internet thinking about all the available resources we have on God and what he says in his word. What he wants from us, and how we should live. I realize there are so many of us who choose not to open the bible and read his word. For some reason we think we are going to get into heaven with our good deeds and looks and having a shoutin good time in church.
Every day I realize the due date is getting close. I realize that I have an assignment to get to know him so he will not say to me, “Who are you; you’re not in the book of life.” Oh God, I do not want to be one of the ones who say, “But, I didn’t know, no one told me.” Just to hear him say, “There is no excuse; I gave you plenty of time to know me.
We have an assignment and due date is getting close.

Stop Complaining and Start Praising

I was writing out Psalms 78 today and found it very interesting. I realize that no matter what God did for the Israelites, they always complained. They manage to always fine something wrong with where they were going, what type of food they ate or whether or not they would make it out alive or not from the enemies that were pursuing them or the one they wer about to persue.
They hardly ever took out time to praise and thank God for the many blessings he already bestowed on them. No wonder God got so angry with them. The more he tried to please them, the more they grumbled and groaned.

Look, the man took them through the Red Sea, on dry land, out of slavery and they told Moses that they wanted to go back because they wanted the kind of food they had back in Egypt; where is the water, we want meat, can I get some fries to go with that shake, blah, blah, blah, blah...

Now God was like, say what, after all I done for these people and their still not happy. One minute they're praising me and the next minute they're saying what have you done for me lately. I know some people like that, never satisfied with what they have, always wanting more.

I don't know anyone who has ever recieve bread from the sky or had meat dropped in at their door step; well, maybe when you look at how we transport things today. We can get meat and bread flown in from anywhere; but that's not my point.
God made sure they had more than enough, even though they didn't deserve it. Huh, sounds like some more people I know. They don't deserve half of what they get.

Anyhow, the fowl that came in was three feet high, and a days journey long for them to gather it all up. Wow, now that's God taken care of his pee's.
The funny thing about it though, or at least when you think about it, he blast them while they were eating, because he was stil angry with them. I can hear it now, "Why you ungratful, bam, bam. There they laid dead with meat hanging out their mouth.
Ooooh,don't wanna mess with an angry God.
So stop complaining and start praising

Listen

Listen to your heart. God speaks to the heart of man. The ear is the channel to the heart.

Have you ever notice the word ear is in the middle of the word heart. I bet you didn't know that there are a lot of words that have the word ear inside, and they are all related to God. When you have some time, write the word heart and see how many words that relate to the word heart.

For example: heart, tear, fear, earth all have the word ear in them, and they all connect in some way. Try making a puzzle out of it's really fun.

Just something I was doing in my spare time. Think about it, something may be reveal to you. It was to me.
