Even If We Are Broken We Are Still Useful

                 Even If We Are Broken We Are Still Useful It always amazes me how and when and where Abba Father talks to us and what He uses to show us and guide us with. Yes again He showed up while I was in the shower, while trying to wash my hair. You see, I was having trouble trying to pour out my shampoo out of the nozzle supplied on the top of the shampoo container, which is supposed to make it easier to pour out. It was just pouring out everywhere and wasting so much of the shampoo in the process. I then had to take the nozzle of and just pour it out the old fashion way without the nozzle. The next time I got into the shower I took the nozzle of again and found that there was actually a split in the opening of the top of the container. Hence why the container wasn’t working as it should, the way that it was meant to, the way that it was designed to, it wasn’t as effective. But it still could be used.   Then Abba Father ...

We Were Created to be loved & to Love

      We Were Created to be loved & to Love John 13:34-35 The Message 34-35  “Let me give you a new command: Love one another. In the same way I loved you, you love one another. This is how everyone will recognize that you are my disciples—when they see the love you have for each other.” If we are filled with negative thoughts, hate, bitterness, rage, and judgment about what others are doing, or how others are choosing to live their lives, then we will not reach our fullness of all that we were created/made to be. For when we judge other we are actually putting ourselves on the judgment seat, the throne of God and by judging other we are     But when we are full of Jesus’ love, we can be all that we were created/made to be and more. We were created to be loved and to love.   Jesus was the perfect example of love and He came to show us His perfect love and teach us His way of love. He taught His disciples and those around Him, all His ways...

Life Is A Precious Gift & to be Celebrated

               Life Is A Precious Gift & to be Celebrated This Easter season has been two things that the Holy Spirit has given me to reflect on. One is that the boulder or the rock has been rolled away from the tomb and is an empty grave and empty prison that Jesus set us free from and like Lazarus Jesus has called us out of our tomb our prison. All we have to do is hear His voice calling our name and take the free gift of life that He has given us as a gift a present. The bolder that has been rolled away for us is a present that has been unwrapped, undone for us. The second thing that I hold dear to my heart is something that Pastor Joseph Prince from New Creation Church in Singapore taught a few years ago one Easter Sunday from:   John 20:6-7 6  Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb; and he saw the linen cloths lying there ,   7  and the handkerchief that had been arou...

We Do Not Have To Live In Shame

We Do Not Have To Live In Shame  The other day while I was spring cleaning after my shower I decided to take down the shower curtain and when I did I felt exposed of not just my nakedness, but all of me. And I was the only one in the house. No reason for feeling vulnerable or ashamed. Also when the shower curtain came down more light came into the shower and the light revealed more areas that still needed to be cleaned. Just like with Christ when He shines His light into our hearts and reveals a part of us that needs to be healed. This reminded me of the veil that Jesus tore down to free us. But then I was also reminded of Adam and Eve. When Adam and Eve sinned they covered themselves up realizing their all was fully bared to God and the world. Not just their naked body but their all, their new emotions that they were now experiencing, they were ashamed of who they had become because of what they had done. The Serpent/the devil was lying to them, deceiving them of which he is...

He Looks After Us Even While We Are Sleeping

          He Looks After Us Even While We Are Sleeping Did you know that Abba Father still sends His ministering angels down to us each night while we are sleeping and that He places His shield over us to protect us also while we are sleeping? He really cares for our every need, not just our every need for our day but also for our night time, for our rest. There are a few Scriptures in the Bible that tell us this. Genesis 28:10-15 Jacob’s Dream at Bethel 10  Jacob left Beersheba and set out for Harran.  11  When he reached a certain place, he stopped for the night because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones there, he put it under his head and lay down to sleep.  12  He had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.  13  There above it [ a ]  stood the  Lord , and he sai...

Praying Psalm 91 As A Prayer

     Praying Psalm 91 As A Prayer Psalm 91 is my go to prayer it is so full of so many of Abba Father’s promises for us, and it is known as the prayer of protection given to us through His Holy Spirit.   Just remember when you are praying this prayer of protection it was written in the Old Testament and we do not live under the law of the Old Testament but though the law of grace which is of the New Testament which Jesus came to give us in abundance.   You will find below that I have written Psalm 91 one as it is written in the Bible and then I have wrote it in a prayer form, to help make it easier for you.   This prayer can be like an emergency prayer to Abba Father, like a 000/911 call to Abba Father. You can call out or cry out to Abba Father quoting one verse in an emergency or you can prayer it in its full entirety. For instance when you feeling upset and hurt you can pray; “I dwell in the secret place of the Most High and I rest in the shadow of Your ...
