The Gift Goes On:

Greetings

It has been a while since I posted on my blog. I don't have very many following me in this venue. But it really does me good to pen my thoughts and sometimes they feel like private thoughts.

I think of the gift that God gave us through His Son Jesus. This precious gift of God to the world provides redemption of man  from sin and makes us just through His Righteous Sacrifice.

After 2, 000 years the gift goes on! As far as the east is from the west so the Lord has removed our transgressions from us.

God gave because He loves and His love expands and makes room for all.

Let us give this Christmas season not out of obligation but out of love.
May parents give to their children the gifts of  wisdom, understanding,  respect and honor. These are gifts that need to be passed on from one generation to another

May love encircle families and memories be made that is based on this special gift of God's love through the willingness of Jesus' love being poured out taking the full penalty of the wages or consequences of sin upon himself in the place of fallen man.

May the gift that God gave through Holy Spirit comfort the weary,  heal the broken and guide us into the marvelous truth of the abundance of God's love and grace.
Emmanuel : God with us amen!

A Movement of Reformation:

Are we in a movement of Reformation?

I believe we are!  Because God has heard the cry of His people. " To heal our land"

This thought is weighing heavily in my spirit.
The word reform means to change for the better.
Reformation is painful because it means to change what is to that which is better.  But we as humans like our comfort zone. We get comfortable in our individual religious status quo.  It is very important to note that God's Word will comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.

Reformation is not Revival.
Reformation moves forward with Revelation that shakes and disturbs the status quo.  In other words it will rock your boat. 

I truly believe that God is moving in reformation in this hour. To do so he must cut away and remove flesh, traditions born of flesh and religious pride as well as some contrary winds of doctrine that oppose His purpose for the generation that is to follow.

Every movement of God since the great reformation of Luther looks like chaos in the begining.

But as David heard the sound of movement in the  mulberry trees we must identify what God is doing in this hour.

The physical environment is a reflection of the spiritual realm. The new will always clash with old and the former move of God will always persecute the next move of God.
While we honor our spiritual fathers we must bear the light of Truth forward.
King David' s reign did not look like king Saul and Solomon' s didn't look like David's.

Watch those who are pioneering wagon trails, who stand out and look different.
Pray to discern who are trying to deceive by counterfeiting these spiritual pioneers by creating rabbit trails. Jesus said by their fruit you will know them or identify them.

Those who are called out to carry reformation. Who are pioneering trails will continue to stand out more and more in these next few years. God's purpose will stand and His will done.  He  will bring the change He desires and nothing absolutely nothing will stop it.

I'm reminded of a song by Le Ann Squire:
Expose me then compose me as symphony in your hands. Rewrite me contrite I will be in your hands......
Painful at first the first cut the worse...

Expose me, what I think, feel and believe in which may be distorted through the lens of  a religious spirit.  Cut away Dear Lord the things that make me deaf, dumb and blind.

Child of God circumcision of the heart is painful at first.  Reformation is a manifestation of circumcision.
May God bless you all with courage,  boldness and meekness to be Lion like against the demonic forces that seek to pervert and counterfeit this movement and to be Lamb like to God's precious people who may not yet understand!

This year we are celebrating 500 years since the great reformation of Luther. He was torn, persecuted and misunderstood. But he was also courageous and bold and could not return to the status quo of His day!  Even though he doubted himself he could Not go back. He had to move forward with the torch of the revelation of Truth that he was pioneering.

Jeremiah the prophet said the Revelation that he carried was like a fire shut up in his bones. He could not help but speak it and declare the revelation of Truth that he was pioneering!

I encourage us to work with God in what He is doing in this hour and watch those who are pioneering wagon trails for the next generation to follow.
Let us not be hasty to declare something as heresy simply because it is unfamiliar to you.

Lord open our ears to hear and our eyes to see in Jesus Name Amen!

New Season Coming: Follow - Up

Greetings in Jesus Mighty Name!

Since I posted New Season Coming it has been amazing how many people that I know is entering this season of setting things in order or putting to right that which is not established in Righteousness.

When we identify what God is calling and shifting us into we can meekly work with him in laying the foundation of structure policy, goals, strategies and agenda.

We need to look at our daily routine. For in it we will find and discover the clues of what we are doing or believing that we need to adjust in order for us to be effective in our next season.

An afternoon nap may become a new normal for some, while a short walk may be what is needed for another.

God's Wisdom teaches us how to implement knowledge. Setting order will  require wisdom in prioities.
We must prioritize our time, energy and resources.

I have been praying for a revival of Wisdom in our nation.
Some people may need to put some things to right in their relationships or in their attitudes and habits.

Child of God something new can be difficult to embrace. So ask for God's Grace to help you shift.

Remember God has Made Everything beautiful in its season.
So pick up this new mantle and wear it for the glory of God.

Goal bless you all!

Sandra.

Where to find joy??

Where to find joy:

Psalms 11:16 declares that in His presence is fullness of joy..and at His right hand are pleasures forever more.

God is ever so faithful to come into our presence. We can enter in such a personal relationship with God that we have this confidence that He is with us partnering with us in everything we have been assigned to do. But there are those special moments when we are drawn into His presence.
This is where we find that fullness of joy.
This joy gives us the strength and courage to faithfully serve in our field.
From His throne proceeds His River.  This is where we must go to get the precious refreshing reviving that we need so that we won't grow weary in well doing.

We are not called to camp at the River of God. We are called to occupy in a field, a sphere of authority to represent Christ in this world. We are called and commissioned as Christ's Ambassadors to expand and advance His Kingdom in the earth.
We are called and commissioned to go out into the world and shine as lights in it.

The challenge for so many that serve in this beautiful mountain called religion is that much of the equipping of the saints is designed to serve in the mountain that they are being equipped in.
Saints of God when you courageously identify your field and humbly go where you are sent.  KNOW that God's PRESENCE  is WITH you..  The River of God is pouring out of you on to and into where you are called to go and to whom you are called to serve..
But when He so sweetly calls you to come for a fresh infusion of joy nothing but nothing you can do will fulfill and saturate your mind, body and soul like the joy that comes from being in His Presence.

Praise God!  Today was my day to come and drink at His River! There is nothing like His sweet presence washing over me.
Those who are hungry He says come..
Those who are thirsty He says come...

May each of you be blessed with the Joy of His presence as you serve!

Sandra

New Season Coming:

Greetings,

Haven't posted  blog for a while.
Blogging to me seems more like writing in a journal. Chronicling what I discern is happening in my spiritual walk, then I realize someone else may be experiencing the same.

Apostolic People are identified in many ways.  I am identifying that I am in a new season whereby I have been forced to set order.  Painful at first because to set order it takes courage.
It is necessary to confront, challenge, admonish, correct and at times even discipline.

All of these actions will not make everybody happy all the time. But if we are carriers, conduits and ambassadors of the Kingdom of God Righteousness, Peace and Holy Spirit Joy must saturate our environment in the market place.
God is God no matter where we are at and no matter who we are in colleague with.

"Dear Lord."
Give those of us who are serving in the marketplace:
Business, Media, Entertainment, Government, Educational Institutions, 
Family or the Religious Structures, Courage to set in order those things that have been neglected or abandoned because the person in authority did not have the courage and willingness to promote your agenda.
We your people want to live peaceable lives so we pray for those who are called out and sent forth to exercise the authority over the demonic squatters that have far too long occupied where the Ekklesia is called to occupy.
May your will be done in earth as it is being done in heaven.

Blessings

Now Faith

Greetings in Jesus Name

The scripture says in Hebrews 11:1 that Now Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.

The operative word is Now Faith.
Faith is exercised through the choices we make.  Our choices will move us into the direction of the choice that is made.

To walk in faith means that the choices we make are determined by the principals in God's Word.
Faith is always Now it is what we can choose to do or not do when we are in the cross hairs of making a choice to obey God's word or ignore it.

Without faith it is impossible to please God.
Ministry inside or outside the walls of the church will require Now Faith!
I pray that God's grace will be multiplied in you and through you as you serve.
When we obey God's word of Truth the Grace that is in that Truth will empower us to live in victory in every area of our life.

Blessings
Sandra

Perfect Love

Greetings
I haven't posted in a while.
But tonight I am thinking of the Power of Love.
The God kind of love covers and protects.
It keeps no record of wrongs done against you.
It is patient and kind.
The scripture says that Truth must be spoken in love. We are instructed to walk in love. The peace of God will mark the steps of those who are walking in love.
Our faith in God will access His love.

Jesus' entire ministry was a demonstration of Love.

Love is not a feeling it is a result of an act of your will. We must choose to love.
It is easy to love those who love you but we are called to love even our enemies. So FORGIVENESS is the key that unlocks the heart to be able to walk in love.

To effectively minister inside the walls of the church or outside the walls of the church we will suffer persecution.
If we want to reign with Christ then we must be willing to suffer persecution with Christ.
We must learn to respond Righteously to Unrighteousness by blessing those who persecute us according to God's Word.
We must let the Word of God be our defense. Through Jesus  God has secured our victory over the world and the evil that is in it. We overcome evil with Good.
We overcome the world by the ministry of the Blood of the Lamb of God Jesus Christ and by the Word of our testimony. Which is an indication that we passed the tests that challenged our walk of faith.

May God bless you as you serve with a renewed saturation of His Marvelous Love!

Blessings
Sandra
