How do you appear in the sight of the Lord?

Yahweh Looks at your heart!
So when I ask how you appear in the sight of the Lord.
I am not asking about your outward appearance.
What is in you heart?
Does the Lord, find it pleasing?








1 Samuel 16:7
 But the Lord or Yahweh said to Samuel,
“Do not look at his appearance or at
his physical stature, because I, Elohim have
refused him. For the Yahweh does not
see as man sees, for man looks at
the outward appearance,
but the Lord, Yahweh looks at the heart.”





~~~Reflections~~~

When God looks at you, he does not see you by your outward appearance. He looks into your Heart. Looking to see Jesus Christ in You. God wants to see that your heart has been redeemed. Think about your own relationship with the Lord. How does He see you? 

He knows we may make mistakes. He sees our hearts. He knows our intentions, both the bad and the good. He also knows when someone is rotten to the core. He also knows all  our secrets. So really, what it comes down to it, the only one thing that matters. That we go to the Lord with pure hearts.

 Keeping in mind, that when we see others it is not what we think of others, we should not see by what is on their outside appearance. In all situations, We should go to Him, and Seek the Lord. Ask Him for Discernment. For God knows each persons heart.  He may lead the least expected person to intervene in our path of Life, to bring Glory to His Name.


Prayer,

Lord Thank you for using me to bring Glory to your name. I make my requests known to you, that you would always guide my path, placing people directed by You for Your will. Help me to look at others the way you see them, through their hearts.  Always having the Holy Spirit, my helper to give me Discernment. In Jesus Christ Name. Amen.

Alone time with God

Matthew 5:16

Let your light so shine before men,
that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

Romans 2:18-20

Know His will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law, and are confident that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness, an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having the form of knowledge and truth in the law.




~~~Reflections~~~
I send you this message.
get alone with god

The more I seek God, the more I find Him
The more I find Him, the more I love Him.
The more I Love Him, the more I want to know His Will
The more I Know His will, the more I want to do His Will.
The More I want to do His Will, The more He will Prepare Me.
The More I am prepared, The More His Light will Shine.
I want to be overwhelmed in His presence.
He loves me in on moment more than I could ever be loved, by anyone.

His peace is so overwhelming. His love is so unconditional.
Praise Him Worship Him.
Go!
Be light bearers. Be the example of Christ.
Do things without complaining. Be of Joy.
Step away from the world, Seek the Lord.
Go into the world as bright light and shine.

Be the Light of the World

1 John 6-8

But if we walk in the light as He is in the light.
we have fellowship with one another that is pleasing to the Lord
~~~Reflections~~~
God desires the light of Christ to shine through us.
To be an example of Christ. To be the reflection of  His light.
We have to learn how to be the reflecion of His Light.
This means putting off ones own selfish worldly ideals.
Leaving all things aside, that cause us or others to loose sight of the Lord. All distractions.
If Christ light shines through his people, we being His people. Should we not shine be shining brightly?  Being pleasing in the sight of the Lord.



Phillipians 2:13
for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.

Ephesians 5:8
For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light.

Distractions come in many forms. Arguing, Complaining, Conciet,
Disputing, Dominating, Selfishness.
These are forms of darkness.
How can the light shine through us
hen we are blocking the light?
Instead keep focused on the things of the Lord.
By follwing the Lords example, we shall shine as lights in the world.
This is the only true purpose we are were created, to bring Glory to the Lord.
To allow God to work through us.
Strongly hold on to the word of life, so you may share the light with others.
John 8:12
Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world.
He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”
.

Paul pretty much sums it up very well In this verse.

Phillipians 2:1-4
Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love,
if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy,
fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit,
but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.
Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.

Prayer
May God illuminate and apply His word, the truth
in our hearts. May we receive the understanding we need in these days.
In Jesus Christ Name. Amen.

Traveling through the desert.

Isaiah 48: 21

And they did not thirst
When He led them through the deserts,
He caused the waters to flow from the rock for them,
He also split the rock, and the waters gushed out.







~~~Reflections~~~

We were all born sinners.
God knows this, he does not deal with us according to our sins. He does allow us times in the deserts,  and even experience afflictions, He allows us to go through deserts so that He can teach us,  so we may acknowledge that He is Worthy to receive our praise. That He is the Mighty Lord.  He delivers us for His own names sake.

He supplies all our needs as we are in our desert. Think about when Abraham led the Israelites out of Egypt, they were in the desert, God sent Manna down from heaven to feed them. There clothes did not wear out.
Here in Isaiah 48, He did not let them thirst, He made the water come from rocks. He even split the rocks so the water would gush out. Joseph was thrown in  a pit, by his family members, dragged off as a slave. In the end He learned that God placed him in the situations, so God could be glorified, by many.
Jesus went into the desert, He didn't thirst for the 40 days He was in the desert. God sustained his Needs.
He sometimes has to take us out of our routine, so we will draw near to Him. He wants to show us we Need Him. He is always by our side. Ready to guide us and lead us. He didn't abandon them. Nor will he abandon you.
Now it may not seem to be so joyful at the time, and it maybe even painful. Nevertheless, afterward it we reap the peaceable fruit of  His righteousness.  We gain knowledge and understanding from the deserts and the afflictions. So the next time you are going through afflictions or feel you are in a desert. Use this time to draw near to God. For He will draw near to you.
Go to the Lord and tell him, Yes Lord, Your will be done. For I know you will lead through deserts and deliver me from afflictions. Glory be to the Lord God! For You Deliver me from my afflictions! Thank You Lord for having a plan for my life.  

You known My name Yasha!

Psalms 91:14-15

Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him,
I will set him on high, because he has known My name. 
He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him,
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.



~~~Reflections~~~

God can be our source of encouragement.
For we no longer need to be slaves to bondage or of fear.
From our mothers womb the Lord has known us.
The Lord Delivers us, He answers us..
For we are his children of God! You are a child of God. 
Call upon His Name, ADONAI, The Deliverer Yasha,
FOR  He shall deliver us!
By Beginning our day with simply telling the Lord that we Love Him,
Trust Him and  Depend on Him.
This alone, Can make a world of difference.

Sorround yourself in His presence.
 For He is and His word is a source of Deliverance.
As You read Psalms 19; 14-15,
Read it as if God is speaking to you.
This will help to prepare you for your day, fill you with Faith.
He will drown your fears in perfect love.
Rejoice in Him The Savior! Who Delivered You! Call to Him!

God Saves!

Yeshua  God Saves
Jesus or the English version for the Hebrew name Yeshua. It means god saves

Act 16:25-31

But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken, and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were loosed.

And the keeper of the prison, awaking from sleep and seeing the prison doors open, supposing the prisoners had fled, drew his sword and was about to kill himself.  But Paul called with a loud voice, saying, “Do yourself no harm, for we are all here.”
Then he called for a light, ran in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas.  And he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.” Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house.  And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes. And immediately he and all his family were baptized. Now when he had brought them into his house, he set food before them; and he rejoiced, having believed in God with all his household.


~~~ Reflections ~~~
When Paul and Silas had been held captive in prison. God's Grace intervened. God's grace is sufficient. God is with us,
When we become captive, imprisoned or restrained.  It's time to go whole heartedly and Praise God and in Prayer! Gods grace is sufficient.  Matters not if it is a physical prison, or if it is in our body or in our thoughts. Prison can be a real place, a physical aliment or state of mind. We can be held captive by our thoughts. Fear, Anxiety, Stress and sometimes our past.

The answer to any prison or captivity that is restraining you, will be loosened. The chains will be broken. Paul and Silas prayed and sang hymns to God. Their prayers and songs of praise were sincere, whole heartedly! Passionate and in adoration.   Not that of  "oh my... god help me.. "

Pray with the Sincerity that the foundations of the prison that you are in are shaken and broken..  Your Doors will be opened. Your Chains will be Loosened. Not only you will be set free, those around you can be set free. Like the prisoners in the Prison with Paul and Silas. Thank You Yeshua!
For you are the God who saves us.

Those who are witnesses to your struggles that you are going through, need to know how to defeat the prisons in their life. Give them Hope! Give them Faith! As I am giving you.  God may use your circumstance to set others free. He is the Light in that dark place. He can Stop suicide, addiction, anxiety and fear. He can use you to  Lead them to Salvation.  Like the prisoners and the prison keeper in Paul and Silas case.  Be the Hope for someone. Pass on the Faith. Call upon the Lord with all your heart. For the Lord God will save us.

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.
Jeremiah 29:11-13

AWAKEN WITH EXPECTATION OF THE GOOD THINGS THE LORD HAS INSTORE

Psalms 100

Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands!
Serve the Lord with gladness;
Come before His presence with singing.
Know that the Lord, He is God.
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves.
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
For the Lord is good;
His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations

 ~~~Reflections~~~

Total attitude adjustments can make a big difference in the outcome of your day.  Waking up with expectations of Good things to happen because the Lord is in charge of  all things, including the storms, circumstances and
our future destiny.

By starting your day with Thanking the Lord for His goodness, this can change your whole atitude for the day. Giving the Lord Praise when we enter into a new day, can make a world of difference.

Upon awakening, if we look out the window, and let that be our deciding factor of our day. we are allowing our circustances or sorroundings to dictate our destiny for the day.

We should be awaken with Joy in the Lord. With expectation of what God has instore for us.
If we look outside and see the foggy, cold rainy day. Are we going to allow that to determeine our day, How is that pleasing to the Lord?
He wants us to put off complaining, grumbling and Snippiness, ( Philippians 2:12-18 ) If we want the Holy Spirit to lead us in pure Joy, it can come from our gratitude to the Lord.  Having an irritable attitude, could withhold the Lords presence for day. It is important for us to put away the grumbling and complaining, Start the day with Thanks, gratitude, Praise and Rejoicing before the Lord is In this way we please the Lord. 

Psalms 118:24
This is the day the Lord has made
We will rejoice and be glad in it!

( Philippians 2:12-18 )
Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.
Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,  holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain.
Yes, and if I am being poured out as a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all. For the same reason you also be glad and rejoice with me.

His GREATNESS IS UNSEARCHABLE!

Psalms 145
I will extol (Praise) You my God O King
And I will bless Your name forever and ever
 Every day I will bless You
And I will praise Your name forever and ever
 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised
And His greatness is unsearchable.
One generation shall praise Your works to another,
And shall declare Your mighty acts.



I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty,
And on Your wondrous works
Men shall speak of the might of Your awesome acts,
And I will declare Your greatness
They shall utter the memory of Your great goodness,
And shall sing of Your righteousness.
 The Lord is gracious and full of compassion,
Slow to anger and great in mercy
The Lord is good to all
And His tender mercies are over all His works
All Your works shall praise You, O Lord
And Your saints shall bless You
They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom
And talk of Your power
To make known to the sons of men His mighty acts
And the glorious majesty of His kingdom
Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom
And Your dominion endures throughout all generations
The Lord upholds all who fall
And raises up all who are bowed down
The eyes of all look expectantly to You
And You give them their food in due season
You open Your hand
And satisfy the desire of every living thing
The Lord is righteous in all His ways
Gracious in all His works
The Lord is near to all who call upon Him
To all who call upon Him in truth
He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him
He also will hear their cry and save them
The Lord preserves all who love Him
But all the wicked He will destroy
My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord
And all flesh shall bless His holy name
Forever and ever

~~~Reflections~~~

After reading Psalms 145 We should take some time and examine ourselves and see the many blessings that God has provided for us.
Startig a journal, or a jar with notes can help you to recall the blessing that God provided for you.
Give thanks to the Lord and share the many blessings to everyone, so that others many know that God is powerful.
My prayer is that everyone will get the chance to experience God's blessings and love.
Our encouragement to others should be of how God is Truthworthiness and debpendabilty. This will build the Trust in the Lord in others.

UNEARCHABLE!  WoW! What a word. Undefineable, Forever and ever. Yes our God is unsearchable, for if He was searchable, he would have limits. He Has no limits. If we could define God than He would then He would have limits. He is eternal. To fathom this is beyond human understanding.

Although we can decsribe some of the LORDS characteristics or attributes.
Such as His Worthiness to be praised, His Greatness, Grace, Kindess, Provisions, Mercy, Faithitfulnness, Kingdom, and eternal 

Our faith needs to be expressed to the future generations. Sharing Gods faithfulness,
as a testimony in our own lives, and throughout the Bible.
It is important for the future generations to know that He is caring, committed, dependaple, kind, reliable, reassuring and trustworthy.
That He Loves all his creation and supplies all our needs.

We lift up our voices and praise Him with gratitude, for He loves and cares for each of us and all his creation.
He is the God of an everlasting kingdom.
David describes some of the Lords characteristics of His graciousness and eternal greatness.
Behold the worthiness of our God throughout Psalms 145
He made all things, and there is nothing that was made without Him.
We are reminded that in all things we must praise Him!
What better to do than to acknowledge Him, and the only way to acknowledge Him is to praise Him.

Psalms 145 shows us many of God's characteristics.
It is His will for us to give thanks, praise and bless Him In All things.
He is Great and greatly to be praised
He is so great that He is unsearchable, He holds the mysteries, He is beyond discovery or understanding.
The generation shall praise His works to another generation
He performs mighty acts
He is does great goodness
He is righteous, gracious and compassionate
Slow to anger and great in mercy
Good to all, Powerful
His glorious majesty rules over an everlasting Kingdom
Hia dominion endures throughout all generations
He lifts us up
He is suppplies our needs
He satisfies the desire of every living thing
He is righteous in all His ways
Gracious in all His works
Lord is near to all who call upon Him
fulfill the desire of those who fear Him
Hears our crys
Saves us
preserves all who love Him
The wicked He will destroy
God is able to lift us up
He is righteous and kind
He is Holy and
Everlasting to Everlasting

When you are weak.

2 Corinthians 12:9

And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

~~~Reflections~~~
In Our weakness, God always uses it for an opportunity to show His Strength. His grace is sufficient for us. ThankYou Lord for your power that rests upon us.

Do you want to be so overflowing with the river of living water out of your heart?

Acts: 5-12-16
And through the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. And they were all with one accord in Solomon’s Porch. Yet none of the rest dared join them, but the people esteemed them highly. And believers were increasingly added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women, so that they brought the sick out into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter passing by might fall on some of them. Also a multitude gathered from the surrounding cities to Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all healed.

~~~Reflections~~~
You can have the same access to the same power today, that Peter and the apostles manifested throughout the multitude of people, in the book of Acts. You  also have the same strong faith that you can be healed. Are you lacking faith. Ask the Lord to strengthen it. Do you want to be so overflowing with the river of living water out of your heart, so much so, that when you walk through a crowd of people, that God's Holy Spirit fills them, heals the sick, sets those tormented by unclean spirits Free.

God does not fill your cup 1/2 way. Gods living river of life will never stops flowing.  He is the everlasting Living Water that Flows Freely. God wants to use you, to perform signs and wonders, just as Peter and the apostles did.  God holds an unlimited supply of the Living Water. His Living Water that has no bounds, no limits, no restrictions. He can unleash His power of the Holy Spirit in your life today! 

According to John 7:37-39
On the last day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying,
“If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.
He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”
But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive
for at that time the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Now that Jesus has Died and Risen to be with the Lord, The Holy Spirit is Here, NOW! Come to Jesus and Drink. Confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, and ask him to guide you, to allow the river of living water to flow through your heart. Invite him into your heart. Into your life. Welcome the Holy Spirit. Let Him who is Thirsty, Drink.

With a simple step of Faith. Receive the word of the Lord, Repent. Be filled with The Holy Spirit. You are a part of His divine plan. No one persons words, or shadow can heal, It is Only By faith in the name of Jesus Christ that you can be healed. You can be the one with the faith to receive the healing, and you can also be the one that the Lord uses to demonstrate to the multitudes to bring His signs and wonders, miracles of healing. Give God the Glory!
 
It is by Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through him that completely heals the sick and those tormented by impure spirits, that all are healed. God's Power is real and the access is there.  He is the author of Life, He performs the miracles, so others can see and believe.

Receive the message of Salvation, that know that it is true. That Jesus Christ is the Messiah, the Savior, that he died on the cross and God raised him from the dead.  That the Holy Spirit dwells within you.
Jesus makes the weak, STRONG.
