I'm Desperate!
What do you want and how bad do you want it! God is releasing according to your desperation!
When you are are desperate for God nothing or no one else matters to you. You are willing to walk away from some friends. You are willing to waste your life for the sake of Christ. You are willing to submit to authority. You willing to cry and scream until you get you a break through.
The Father is waiting to see if you want a quick fix or are you really desperate for a CHANGE!
What do you want? What are willing to do? What are you willing to give up? Who are you willing to give up? Who are you willing to connect with?
This is the cry of man that said I WANT GOD MORE!
David's cry in Ps 51: "Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.... Cleanse me with hyssop and I will be cleanse; wash me and I will be whiter than snow.... create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. RESTORE to me the joy of Your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me."
It's a cry of desperation that the Father is after. Will you lift your voice and say Lord have mercy for I have sinned against you and you alone! Wash Me Lord. Cleanse me Lord! RESTORE me back to that place were I knew You! To that place where I knew You were good Father and You did not have to prove Yourself to me! Lord let me see the benefits in being Your child. RESTORE my joy in Your salvation. I want the joy of the Lord that is my strength when my flesh is weak. LORD I NEED YOU AND IF YOU DO NOT DO IT WILL NOT BE DONE!
How desperate are you! Get down and dirty and give your heart's cry to the Father and watch Him move in your life. Watch your life change for the better. See how when you are tested and tried your praise will remain the same because you have had a revelation that it's already worth it!

My soul's song
My Souls Sings……
Nothing compares to his love The Love of Abba Father
His love is jealous and it’s as strong as a ocean It’s far more than just another notion
His love is better that wine That is why I give him this life of mine
His love is shown through his son’s blood And it overflow into my life like a flood
His love for me caused his son to suffer So Lord my heart is what I offer
It’s Love that releases mercy and grace So Lord I will seek your face
To see you high & lifted up This sin I will give up
Breathe on me Lord Breathe on me Lord Breathe on me Lord
Breathe life into my bones Breathe life into my soul Breathe life in this heart of mine
Release the Breath of your love over me It’s because of your love that I am free
When the world came crashing down It was your love I found
Your love gave me a second chance It was that day that had my first glance
You are so gentle yet strong For you oh Lord my soul longs
Breathe on me Lord Breathe on me Lord Breathe on me Lord
Breathe Life into my bones Breathe life into my soul Breathe Life into this heart of mine

Sin is the Rape of God's Mercy
I was awakened last night and again this morning at 1:30am. Last night I kept hearing Romans 12.
Roman 12:1-2 Therefore, I urge you brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your body as living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God- this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is- His good, pleasing and perfect will.
"Sin is the rape of the Father’s mercy" is what keeps ringing in my mind. When we sin, it is taking God’s mercy and doing what we please. Without the Father’s permission we take His grace and mercy and use them to satisfy and justify the flesh. When you have a clear view of who the Father is and what He did for you on Calvary you will freely serve Him and let go of the world’s pattern.
What view do you have of the Father?
Psalm 119:9-11 How can a young man (woman) keep his ways pure? By living according to your word. I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands. I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.
In the words of a strong woman of God that I respect and admire “You need some more word… You do not have enough word in you.”-PG-
We need some more word. We need to meditate on the word day and night. Not just any word but a word concerning the sin, the question, the issues that we have in our life. We have to grab a hold of the word concerning that issue of the flesh and kill the flesh with the word. It is only by His word that we will we be able to stand against the ways of this world. It is only by the understanding of who the Father truly is that we will "in the view of His mercy present our body as a living sacrifice."
What is your view of God’s mercy. Is it just your ticket to sin or is it your ticket to a righteous and holy life? Watch this video and ask yourself "do I really value the sacrifice that was made for me?"

He loves Me! (you too)
Wow I am 4.5 hours away from being 28 years old. God has truly been faithful to me. It's funny... All I have been hearing is two things. 1) God's track record with me has been perfect and 2) Every sin that I have committed has been because of my unbelief.
As I look back over the past year and even years before, I believe that God has been so perfect to me even when I was sooooo messed up. When I turned 27 God told me that he was going to complete some things in my life. He did just what He said He was going to do!
I just finish writing a list of 10 things that I want God to help me with this year. At the top of that list is "help me trust again." Not just my trust in Him but in people. I want to trust that someone can actually love me. I want to trust that I do not have be perfect in everything and my mess ups are really alright. I want to trust that I am out of the box that I built up to protect myself over the years. I want to trust that it's okay to let people into my heart again.
Luke 12:7- Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
I want this year of my life to full of faith! I do not want to fear anymore and that requires me truly embrace the love of the Father 1st.
The next thing on my list is help people by my blog and my the gifts that God has given me.
So I start by this Blog. If you struggle with your self-worth and trusting in the Father. Know that God cares. When no one understands and you still find yourself struggling. I say let your prayer be...
Father it's me again. I ask you to help my unbelief. My head is telling me that you love me but heart is saying that I have made too many mistakes. Let your word get out of my head and into my heart. Let me trust you more! Let me meditate on your word and not just read it. Let the words become reality to me! Let the eyes of my heart be opened to the hope of knowing you more and more! Thank you for loving me and being patience with me Father. To rely on myself is dangerous so let my self worth not be in me but in you. Let me not think more of myself than I ought but with sober judgement, in accordance with the measure of faith that you have given to me (Roman 12:3) Increase my FAITH in you LORD!
Remember God's track record is perfect and every sin that you have and will commit will be because you do not trust His faithfulness!

Spilt Milk
On this morning its 8:20am and I realize that my daughter did not do her practice test for homework on last night. It’s 8:20am we need to be out of the house by 8:30am and she is begging me for a cup of cereal and the homework is still not done.
So, I placed the cereal and milk in a plastic cup. She sits at the table with her practice test and a pencil as I call out the words.
Then splash! In a effort to write and eat she spills her cup of cereal all over the carpet in the dining room. She immediately begins to defend herself and starts crying because she made a mistake. I stopped and looked at her and the Holy Spirit speaks “the way she is responding is how you respond to me.”
I looked at her, and I said Mary it’s okay. I let told her "I know that you did not mean to do it." I ran and got a towel and just wiped the milk off the table and cleaned the carpet. We finished the work and was off to school.
Many times we believe that God is going to beat us down for the mistakes we make in life so when we mess up we begin to cry and get defensive with God.
He reminded me this morning that in life I spill milk- I make mistakes-- but he is not like man he simply gets a towel and wipes up the mess I have I made. After he cleans up my mess, He gives me instructions on how not to make that mistake again.
~~I love you Daddy! Thanks for always reminding me in the small ways that you care about me and that you are for me not against me! ~~

Winds of the Father Blow Over Us!
Let the winds of the Father blow over your heart and your soul. Allow the Lord to come into your heart and do a new thing. Allow his power to touch your soul and make your soul line up with your spirit man.Let the winds of the Father awaken you in 2010. He is unlocking new dreams and vision that are from his throne. He does not want you to live life aimlessly anymore. He does not want you beating the air. He wants you to be effective in 2010. He wants you not to just be excited about the new thing. He wants you to experience newness and refreshing.
He is blowing on the hurt. He is blowing on the disappointment. He is blowing on the rejection. He is blowing on that marriage. He is blowing on your children. He is blowing on your weariness. He is blowing on your sickness. He is blowing on your sin!
"Awake, Awake oh north winds. Awake Awake oh south winds! Blow over us! Refine us, test us, try us and make us pure gold. " Misty Edwards
Cry out for refreshing in your heart and GO HARD after God! Come naked and unashamed. He is waiting for a willing heart, a open mind and broken spirit.
It’s in your weakness that you are MADE STRONG! Welcome to 2010!!
