... 10 When Jesus raised Himself up, He said to her, Woman, where are your accusers? Has no man condemned you? 11 She answered, No one, Lord! And Jesus said, I do not condemn you either. Go on your way and from now on sin no more [For the full passage, read John 8:1-11]. If God forgives us and does not condemn us, then why do people try to hold you to your past offenses, even after you have sincerely come asking for forgiveness? We must remember WWJD? ... and walk in His Love. I have read this scripture often before; however, it just speaks volumes concerning His Character. He is so Loving, so full of Grace - Our Almighty God. He wants the absolute best for us. His desire is for a redeemed remnant... you know, this is why He sent His only Begotten Son. Yes, in this Season we celebrate His Birth, but I get so full of Joy when I think about what His life, death and resurrection also brings! ... In the splendor of your Majesty from deep within my spirit sings, Holy! Holy! Bless the Lord, Oh my soul! Bravo to you, Lord! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Amen!

... God's Grace is sufficient! God's Love covers a multitude of sins. Repent and Surrender!

THE TRUMPET by BILL BURNS:
And, the Lord says, "If you will do that which is written in My Word, then you will indeed receive the benefits of the kingdom of God that I have in store for you. For, the storehouses are about to open, and the blessings are about to flow. What I have reserved for you as the children of the end of the age will surprise all of you. My goodness is about to come in unique and powerful ways--in ways that you cannot even fathom. But, let it be known to your spirit that I can give to you abundantly and exceedingly above all that you can imagine, think or believe. Expect My goodness to come. Embrace it today and receive it."

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by MARSHA BURNS:

Come out from the darkness that has kept you from being all you can be in My kingdom, says the Lord. Let all oppression become a thing of the past. Move into the realm of liberty and be free to allow My Spirit to move you from victory to victory. Truly, many of you have been laboring under unnecessary burdens; let Me take them from you. Matthew 11:30 "For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."

... Your Kingdom is established. You rule the heavens and the earth. In my life, You are an Awesome Ruler! ~ Oh, what a Wonder You are! Oh, You are an Awesome Wonder!

Are You Spiritually Employed?

My Spiritual Mentor preached this morning about Faith, Obedience and Becoming a Spiritually Healthy Church. She opened the message speaking of the current U.S. economy. Did you know that the unemployment rate in Ferguson, MI is a whopping 50%? What is even more astonishing is that the “spiritual unemployment” rate in the Church is exceedingly over that number!  She also stated that unfortunately, just as those who are physically unemployed are not able to contribute to the economy – those who are “spiritually unemployed" are not contributing to or edifying the Body of Christ, for the Advancement of the Kingdom of God.

The Psalmist also ministered with the lyrics to Hezekiah Walker Jr's, “I Need You to Survive”. This, my friend is so Powerful.  Not only are we all in this Christian walk together, but God has designed us to play our own important part or role. There is no “I or me”, it is “we” … We're all a part of God's body. Stand with me, agree with me; we're all a part of God's body. It is His will that every need be supplied. You are important to me, I need you to survive. -- Hezekiah Walker Jr. 

Many in the Body of Christ seem to be checking off a box that they attended church, but not actually applying the scriptures to their daily walk with Him. Many come just to receive; however, are we also giving? I do not know about you, but I do not want to be “dead weight” in the Body of Christ (my perception of this). I do not wish to warm the pews or just check off that box. We all have spiritual gifts and God has given each and every one of us a measure. How we use them and “who” we use them for is up to us, because He gave us free will. I choose to Bless Him back with the Gifts that He has given to me. Why? Because He is Worthy!!! Do you hear me shouting it! :-)  With that I cry out, “Lord, use me for Your service”. 

He gave some, Apostles; and some, Prophets; and some, Evangelists; and some, Pastors and Teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ. -- Ephesians 4:11, 12 Hallelujah!!! We are Blessed, we are Called, we are Chosen.  Our desire and instruction is to spread His Good News throughout the Land. We serve the RISEN KING! THE LIVING WATER! OUR DAILY BREAD! The One who has paid the ultimate price for us, with HIS LIFE! He died for us; let us be ever so grateful… by LIVING FOR HIM!
