Christmas Eve Revelation

Today is Christmas Eve and after service last night at Church of the Highlands I realize that JOY is not near it's here. JOY is JESUS and though we look for other things to materialize that JOY during this season or the confirmation of the emotion of JOY... but can I tell you that when I was in service last night and heard PastorChris Hodges message and show the candles light up in the room I remember how the light we called JESUS can be seen during dark times. I am a counselor/therapist and everyday I get the honor to be apart of other's lives and get to be a support system for those with mental illness from anxiety to depression and even those dealing with physical illness as well as grief issues and when I saw those candles light up across the room I realize... I have to let my light shine... So I am singing this prayer (not a Christmas song) over everyone who needs some light today and in this season.... This little of mine I am going to to let it shine... Let it shine, let it shine. Today Daddy light up our hearts, our lives, and the lives of those attach to us. Pour back into us everything we pour into others that we can have a bright light that will reflect your love as people search for JOY during this season and as people seek the confirmation of you JOY through time with their families or just those that they love. For those that have had a season, not just a year of heartache, disappointed, depression, distraught, frustration, and just UGH... with trails and tribulations, I say thank you DADDY... Thank you for allowing them to enjoy your JOY! Thank you that right now they have a light that out shines the darkness of man, this world, their heart, and personal thoughts.... though they don't feel it or see it YET Daddy, they are in it because you cover them. Every lack and empty feeling is filled with your love, joy, light, and grace. Daddy we thank you that this Christmas we reflect on the light and not the lack or the darkness that surrounds us. We are complete in you because you gave us a gift that not even the world can intimate. IN JESUS NAME! AMEN

Christmas Spirit ?

I have been trying so bad to get into my happy place with Christmas... I went shopping for my babies, I got my Christmas outfit, got where I think I am going for Christmas, and even listening to my favorite Christmas song... Still feeling incomplete... Then I sat down and told Daddy what was going on...I told him though I celebrate the life of your son daily and the world dedicates one day to it...I still feel some kind of way. Totally out of order... Then Daddy simply said even in the mist of tradition you have to shift, and in the mist of shifting nothing seems in order, even when it should be. So don't worry about getting in your normal "Christmas Spirit," you are shifting so nothing seems normal even when you want it to be. Enjoy the uniqueness of this season. So for every person that doesn't feel the "Christmas Spirit" because you have lost something or someone dear, the person that you want to be near can't because of various reasons (death, breakup, sickness, divorce, separation, overseas serving our country, work, money, etc.), your money not right, your heart not right, you emotions out of whack... depressed, sad, overwhelm, or whatever you may be... Can I tell you it's ok... Can I tell you that you are in a great place... That no matter what you feel right now it is temporary nothing about it is permanent... So don't feel like you have to follow the character of the world or the atmosphere of the season... Daddy is preparing you for your new while you are still in your present... That's what you need to focus on, not the fact that you not in the "Christmas Spirit."

The Reveal

Today I take off the ashes of....my past, the sorrows of people's judgment about me, the pain of not meeting the goal, standard, and the expectations of others. The disappointments, the heartache, the shoulda coulda, woulda thoughts of what I could be, where I should go, and who would be there to support me. I take off the blame, the finger pointing, the failure of my plans, the destruction of my God image. The insecurity of not fitting in, the rejection of self due to the words and actions of people I gave titles. I take off everything that enemy told me I was and am. Today I became nake that Daddy you can clothe me with beauty. The beauty of your grace, love, mercy, peace, security, joy, favor, success and plan. Daddy I take on the clothing of forgiveness, redemption, freedom, righteousness, found in the blood of Jesus. I take the power back from the enemy and I say no more. I now take my rightful place back as the daughter of the high king. I am your daughter Daddy and today I confess my relationship with you, laying down my ashe cloth at your feet that you can heal that which it represents. Daddy sing over me. Sing that your glorious presence can shine through me. Make me, mode me, use me, and purpose me for your plan no matter how uncomfortable the task can or will be. Daddy simply stated make me beautiful in your image again. Take away the thoughts of what calls beauty out my heart and replace it with yours. Today Daddy let me see you. No Daddy I see you. I realize there is nothing impossible for you. Today I reveal the healed me... Because Daddy you are my healer, you are the provider of all me needs, your protect from danger seen and unseen. You wave your banner of victory over me. You hold me safely in your arms. You are the anchor that holds my life in your presence when storms come with the mission to destroy me. Daddy I reveal you in me. I reveal the rest I find in you as my flesh dies and my spirit lives boldly before your thrown dwelling in presence. I reveal my worship, singing my song unashamed. I reveal that you are the great I Am. I reveal I'm an adopted daughter of a king that has unending treasures. I reveal that I'm an overcomer, standing battle ready. I reveal I'm free, never to be overcome with grief again, my ransom has been paid, thank you Jesus. I understand that lost will come and those that value will leave, but I reveal a spirit of celebration during theses moments. I reveal I'm not my divorce. Man may have rejected, but God you took me in, married me to your son and allow him to prepare a place for me. Daddy take my feet deeper than they would ever wander that my faith would be made stronger in the presence of my groom, my savior, the connector of our relationship, and my redeemer. I reveal a faith without boarders. I reveal an awakening in my spirit. I activated the holy spirit that lives inside me, that it may interact with the spirit of God. Flood me with your glory and presence. I reveal....I reveal.....I reveal that I'm free and part the freedom generation. I rise up with fire in my heart for you Daddy,I will go all end for you. I reveal that I'm a daughter of the king, a bride of the bridegroom, the heir to the thrown, and a princess to Abba.

Encourage Heart

I was seating here reflecting on things that Daddy has placed on my heart in this season and during this season.... so here it tones:
Always cheat on your sins with GOD's presence.
You are never ready for an assignment, but you are always equipped to do it.
The heart of a man is the foundation of his love for GOD
If you want true intimacy seek the heart of GOD and experience the pureness of his love
Healing is not in your Amen, it's in the action of your faith.
Last... Worship is not an act of surrendering it's an offering of yourself and in the process of you worshipping surrendering takes place.
