Jesus You are Worthy of All Praise!

When He took the scroll, the four living creatures and the 24 elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and gold bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of the saints. And they sang a new song:
You are worthy to take the scroll and to open it's seals,
Because You were slaughtered, 
And You redeemed people for God by Your blood
From every tribe and language
And people and nation.
You made them a kingdom
And priests to our God,
And they will reign on the earth. Revelation 5:8-10

Jesus Son of God came down to earth and loved not His life unto death. He loved the Father with His whole heart, soul and mind. He came to do His Father's will.

Because of His willingness to die for our sins He defeated the grave. There is power in obedience, there is power in loving The Lord you God and having no other gods before Him. Jesus loved The Lord more than family, finance, friends, home, reputation, sleeping in, comfort, food,  clothing. None of these took place of His love for The Lord, nothing. He knew that to fulfil His destiny He had to set His face like a flint to Calvary. Therefore, all heaven and earth declares His glory.

Do we get it? Really get it? All that exists in glory bow down to Christ because of what He did, He obeyed His Father unto death, for us, for us, for us. We the redeemed should say so!

If we would walk in power in authority there is no other way than to love The Lord our God, more than life, family, friends, ease, stuff, reputation. He will have NO other gods before Him and if we love anything more than Him, guess what? They are gods. All must bow, all must be yielded, all!

In the above scripture our prayers are collected in golden bowls, we are important. Let our prayers be worthy of being caught in a golden bowl. Repentance and yieldedness would be worthy don't you think? Our prayers are sweet smelling incense. Our prayers matter. Interceded for your world, they matter. Worship The Lord along with all heaven, it matters!

You are made to matter! Live your destiny! Amen!

Who Rules?

The princes of Judah are like those who move boundary markers, I will pout out my fury on them like water. Hosea 5:10 World leaders of church and state are now all highly visible. When they are not open to consultation or do not listen they make judgements that are judged as foolish by both God and man. In Australia we just celebrated Australia Day and at this time various people are honoured for their contribution to society. Our Prime Minister, Mr Abbott, without consultation, conferred a knighthood on the Queen of England's husband, Phillip. Almost to a person, Australians judged this to be foolish. Even supporters have now distanced themselves. Imagine what it is like when church leaders follow their own emotions or the emotions of their people and change what is acceptable to God. For example, no longer considering adultery something that precludes a man from ministry. We might think we are clever, but actually going with a sinful flow. Where is God in all this? My emotions ar...

Know Your Sword!

So he took Him to Jerusalem, had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, "if you are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here. For it is written: 'He will give His angels orders concerning You, to protect you, they will support You with their hands, so that you will not strike Your foot against a stone.' And Jesus answered him, "it is said: 'do not test The Lord your God." And the Devil had finished every temptation, he departed from Him for a time. Luke 4:9-11 In this third test Satan quoted scripture but Jesus knew His scripture and was not going to be deceived by his enemy twisting the truth. I am amazed at what Satan tempted Jesus with. He did not know Christ. He had succeeded in tempting the first Adam yet he was thwarted in this attempt. Jesus had lived 30 years and been tutored in godliness with contentment, he was prepared, baptised in the Spirit and sold out to the Father's purpose. Every time our enemy comes against us we ...

Little Things Grow

The boy's mother said to Elisha, "as The Lord lives and you yourself live, I will not leave you. So he got up and followed her. 2 Kings 4:30 The Shunamite woman had travelled to Mt Carmel to find Elisha after the death of her son. Although Elisha had sent his servant Gehazi to the boy with his staff the woman had come to find Elisha and was not leaving without him. I like this lady's spirit. I am sure The Lord God Almighty also valued her heart. She had a heart for God and made room for Him in her world. Now, having lost her son she knew what to do: find Elisha and not let him go until he came to restore her son. What made the Shunamite woman believe that Elisha could raise her son? Was it the same faith that made her provide him a place to stay in her home? I believe it was God working in her life. I am grateful for her faith, I can read and be encouraged. We do not know her name yet her story lives in scripture. What a little thing it was to feed Elisha and then provide ...
