SPEAK LIFE! ENJOY LIFE! SHARE LIFE!

He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. John 7:38

A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. Luke 6:45

MY GOD IS AWESOME

OCTOBER 30, 2016

The WORD of the LORD is like a river  of living water,  springing up out of my innermost being.

I write and write, and speak and speak and it increases and increases. I just can't stop praising my God who is worthy of all praise, all honor and all glory!

Our God is AWESOME. This  is the song He woke me up with morning.

My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer. Psalm 45:1

A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. Luke 6:45

He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. John 7:38

REFIRIN', NOT RETIRING

OCTOBER 29, 2016 

REFIRIN'', NOT RETIRIN'

This morning I woke up with the song "I Cannot Tell It All". I say "YES LORD, the wards of  this song  is so true. 

1 He's done so much for me,
I cannot tell it all,
I cannot tell it all,
I cannot tell it all.
He's done so much for me,
I cannot tell it all,
I cannot tell it all.
2 He washed my sins away;
I cannot tell it all,
I cannot tell it all,
I cannot tell it all.
He washed my sins away;
I cannot tell it all,
I cannot tell it all.
3 He walks and talks with me;
I cannot tell it all,
I cannot tell it all,
I cannot tell it all.
He walks and talks with me;
I cannot tell it all,
I cannot tell it all.
4 He gave me victory;
I cannot tell it all,
I cannot tell it all,
I cannot tell it all.
He gave me victory;
I cannot tell it all,
I cannot tell it all.

GOD'S WORD CHANGES NOT

GOD'S WORD CHANGES NOT 

As I awoke this morning. The WORD of the Lord in 2 Timothy 1:6-12, Malachi 3:6, Psalm 89:34,  Isaiah 9:6, 2 Timothy 2:19, Numbers 23:19, 2 Timothy 1:7 came to me along with the song  "I Cannot Tell It All". I shared the song in another post. I am posting the scriptures below. The Spirit is speaking! I can't write all I hear, but I pray you will be encouraged by HIS WORD.

GOD HAS NOT CHANGED and HE WILL NOT CHANGE! People change! Situations change! Seasons change. Governments of this world change! But the KINGDOM GOD  stands strong, steadfast and sure. 

God will not altar or break His covenant!  He is not a man that he should lie, nor the son of man that He should repent. He does not give a  spirit of fear, but of love, peace, and a sound mind! 

2 TIMOTHY 1:6-12
6 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.
7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
8 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;
9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:
11 Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
12 For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.

Malachi 3:6
For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. 

Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.

Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

I'VE GOT A PRAISE AND I'VE GOT TO LET IT OUT!


I have a praise and I've got to let it out. As I watched this video I am reminded of how David danced before the Lord.  (See scripture below. )I have been a praiser and danced before the Lord for many years. Although some may not understand, I cannot stop praising my God! 

2 Samuel 6:14-23

14 And David danced before the Lord with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.
15 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.
16 And as the ark of the Lord came into the city of David, Michal Saul's daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart.
17 And they brought in the ark of the Lord, and set it in his place, in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched for it: and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord.
18 And as soon as David had made an end of offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts.
19 And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, as well to the women as men, to every one a cake of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. So all the people departed every one to his house.
20 Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel to day, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself!
21 And David said unto Michal, It was before the Lord, which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the Lord, over Israel: therefore will I play before the Lord.
22 And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour.
23 Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death.

HOLD ON! YOU WILL REAP IN YOUR DUE SEASON!

HOLD ON
YOU WILL REAP IN YOUR DUE SEASON

And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Galatians 6:9

We often hear and/or say "Higher levels, bigger devils", and it is so true! Satan does not want  us to do what God calls us to do!   Obedience to God makes us a threat to him. He knows by our actions and words, when we head in the path God has assigned.

He  has no mercy or compassio  He  will relentlessly use his army of evil spirits  to put pot holes, speed bumps, and road blocks in your pathway in an attempt to slow you down, with the goal of stopping you altogether.

The GOOD NEWS IS THAT YOUR PERSISTENCE WEARS OUT HIS RESISTANCE. PRAISE GOD!

Be not ignorant of satans wicked and evil devices. Ignore him and he will flee. Giving him no place or in road,  is a weapon to defeat him. Rejoice in the fires! The joy of the Lord is your strength!

WHEN YOU DON't FAINT, YOU WILL REAP IN DUE SEASON! NOTHING and NO ONE  CAN STOP GOD! REJOICE and KEEP ON REJOICING and HOLD FAST!

GOD'S WAYS and THOUGHTS ARE PERFECT



OCTOBER 26, 2016
Opal Dalton 

Isaiah 55:5-13
Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the Lord for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.
REMEMBER, every answer you need is in the infallible, unchangeabje WORD of GOD! 
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly  unto all good works. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 

JUST THINKIN'



STEPPIN' ....Take the first STEP .... DO 'something' ... Be not a hearer only! Be a DOER of THE WORD! (James 1:22)

OUT ...  Get out of 'your' box! GOD'S ways are not  'your' ways! GOD'S thoughts are not 'your' thoughts! (Isaiah 55:8-11)
You can not put GOD in 'your' box! But you CAN get out of yours!

BLESSED ...Hearken diligently to the Word of God! Have ears to hear what HE says!  Be teachable! Be obedient! GOD will bless you coming in and going out, rising up and sitting down!  (Deuteronomy 28:1-14)
GOD will bless and increase you and your seed to every generation! (Psalm 115:14)

BE BLESSED!!!
Bless others! GOD will bless you!

WHAT DOES THE LORD REQUIRE?

OCTOBER 26, 2016
Opal Dalton

When we have a question, the answer can always be found in THE WORD OF GOD. What man requires,  and what God requires are two different things.  So to find the answer to "What does  the Lord require", here are a few scriptures to consider.

And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but to fear the Lord thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, Deuteronomy 10:12

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. Ecclesiastes 12:13

Deuteronomy 6:1 Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the Lord your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it: 2 That thou mightest fear the Lord thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.

He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? Micah 6:8

YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CLOSE THE IN ROAD TO THE ENEMY

OCTOBER 21, 2016
Opal Dalton

We have authority to close the in road to the enemy. He can only access where we give him permission.   Consider an example of a policeman directing traffic.  He raises his hand! The traffic stops, turns left or right, or continues forward when the policeman signals,  and says so, because of respect for the uniform, the badge, and authority given to the officer.

Christian Believers have been given power and authority over all the power of the enemy to put him under our feet, and to keep him there. The Blood of JESUS badge, and the spiritual armor we wear  is against Satan, and all his wicked devices.

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.  Luke 10:19

As a Christain Believer you can take your place,  lift up your hand, and use your voice to put the enemy to flight! You can walk  in the authority God has given you.

The Lord shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways. Deuteronomy 28:7

Just think about it! When GOD defends you,  the devil  has no choice except to loose and go down in defeat.

What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:31

Arise! Awake! Close the in road  to Satan, and don't let him have access to any area of you life! You can do this because God has given you the Authority.
