  GOD’s thunder sets the oak trees dancing
   A wild dance, whirling; the pelting rain strips their branches.
   We fall to our knees—we call out, “Glory!”

   Above the floodwaters is GOD’s throne
      from which His power flows,
      from which He rules the world.

GOD makes His people strong.
GOD gives His people peace.

[Psalm 29:9-11]

Good Evening Beloved,

Sorry for the lateness — had all sorts of meetings today. Just wanted to touch base and quickly say that GOD IS GOOD! He is gracious and all together lovely! I love this verse. Man! God is so great, the trees are dancing! Even as their “branches are being stripped” they are saying “Glory!” WOW. That reminds me of us. Praise is not only beautiful in the sight of God, it rejuvenates us. Worship brings us closer to the heart beat of God… Praise allows us to dance with God…. (ummph … pause). Dance with God. It stands to reason if God sings over us as stated in Zephaniah, that He can dance with us as well. That floors me. He is great. Admittedly, we tend to overuse that word, but when we pause to really ponder on the wonders of God… words become almost inadequate and we do the best that we can. He makes His people strong… meaning if you feel weak, not a problem.. He can MAKE you strong. For those who are going through all sorts of turmoil… He will give you peace in it and bring you through it. For those who are experiencing a season of abundance, and material prosperity, He will also give you peace so that you can not only enjoy it, but have the wisdom with it.

… and THAT Beloved of God… is Good News!

Y Stress? … U Blessed!

Have A Fabulous Evening and a Wonderful Weekend

WORSHIP…

But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship Him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.

[John 4:23-24]

“Worship”

Good Morning Beloved,

Worship… I had what can be best described as an ‘epiphany’ (The name “Epiphany” comes from the Greek word Epiphania, and means “to show, make known, or reveal.”) You know when something hits your spirit and you just can’t shake it. An “Aha” moment. On Saturday, my daughter was watching a particular singing group on television. The basic tone of the song was the ever popular, “Ima do me” type of vibe. It struck me what ‘worldliness’ is. It is not clothes, hair, or music, it is a posture of the heart. The foundation of life is based on two world views. Two “Teams” if you will. God’s team and Satan’s team. You are either on one or the other. Some think they can just ‘opt’ out and not choose either team, not knowing that they’ve chosen Satan’s team by default. If we listen, really listen to people, it doesn’t take very long to discern which side they are on at that particular time. A worldly point of view is anti-Christ. I read an interesting conversation Jesus had with His disciples ~

And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in Your name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us. And Jesus said to him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us. (Luke 9:49-50)

God is Creator. The greatest Artist of all time… beauty personified… just look at a sunset. There is nothing drab or boring in Him. He is limitless. Whether we’ve known Him 5 minutes or 50 years, we can never exhaust all that He is. He is bigger than the box folks have tried to put Him in. He has given us His Word and His Spirit. The other thing that touched me was at rehearsal last night our Directress played a song called “Fly” (I added the video at the bottom) by Jason Upton. I can’t describe how the presence of God saturated the place. While it was happening, I was overwhelmed with the desire that everyone experience this level of worship. There would be no room for doubting God. Believers would REALLY believe Him, and unbelievers would believe in Him. All of the squabbling would cease because they would seem so inconsequential. Problems and issues would shrink in comparison to His greatness and we would echo Paul’s sentiments,

“Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For His sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ and become one with Him. I no longer count on my own righteousness through obeying the law; rather, I become righteous through faith in Christ. For God’s way of making us right with Himself depends on faith. I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised Him from the dead..” [Philippians 3:8-10]

In worship… pure, undefiled, holy worship… there are no hidden agendas, no masks, just freedom. We enter into the presence of God, and we get a glimpse of heaven. We touch Heaven, and Heaven touches us back!

….. and that Beloved is Good News!

U Blessed!

Have A Fabulous Day
