Worship Him!

"When I worship, I would rather my heart be without words than my words be without heart." --- Lamar Boschman

I pray you worship Him today! ... Not with just words on a page or wall, but from your hearts. But rather, when you sing, let those words you become YOUR words to the King! I also pray that you don't have to wait until you get in a corporate setting to worship Him, but do it right where you are. Worship is a choice & a lifestyle, not something we do. Worship is not just a song from our mouths or with instruments, but it is the rhythm & harmonies of our very life, should we choose to live our lives flowing in His Spirit & in His Truth. C.S. Lewis once said, "It is in the process of being worshipped that God communicates His presence to men." Jack Hayford says, "Worship changes the worshipper into the image of the One worshipped." Yeah, we become more & more like Him. I leave you with the words of this song & pray that it will minister to you...

When the music fades
And all is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring
Something that's of worth
That will bless your heart
I'll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the ways things appear
You're looking into my heart

I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You
All about You, Jesus
I'm sorry Lord for the thing I've made it
When it's all about You
It's all about You Jesus

King of endless worth
No one could express
How much You deserve
Though I'm weak and poor
All I have is Yours
Every single breath
I'll bring You more than just a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart

I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You
All about You, Jesus
I'm sorry Lord for the thing I've made it
When it's all about You
It's all about You Jesus
Its all about you Jesus

Open the Eyes of our Hearts, Lord!

Dear Lord,

In this year, 2010, God, open the eyes of our hearts. Bring each of us to a new awareness & level of knowing who we are in Christ, our place in the Body, & our place on the "wall". I pray that each of Your children understand how loved they are.... with an everlasting, perfect love....the love of Christ Jesus. I pray that we allow God to continue to develop our understanding, mature each one quickly in the Lord, & give us keen, & Godly wisdom & discernment, much like the sons of Isaachar (1 Chr. 12:32) to understand the times & then know what to do. Lord, help us to be good listeners to You, & tune our ears to Your heartbeat for us...for our families, loved ones, churches, communities & the world. We want to be very quick to hear & then obey what we hear You say and to move (or stay) when You say to do so. Help us to be so "tuned in" to You, God, that no distraction, circumstance or event will keep us from hearing or obeying You. Open the eyes of our hearts Lord, to those around us. Help us each to function in a deeper level, in the gifts, talents & abilities that You have given us and together within the Body of Christ. I pray for a new level of boldness, courage & hope to overwhelm us in the days ahead. Fill us with Your courage....IN-courage (encourage) us, Lord. Lord, let the "Lion" roar! Help us to stand & keep standing, even in the midst of great adversity, & to move forward as the unified, mighty Army of God that You have assembled & equipped for such a time as this. We pray this & all things in the mighty name of Jesus, Your Son & our Saviour!!! Amen......Go GOD!!!

God's love & mine,
Nonnie

Arise & Shine!

Isaiah 60:1-2

New King James Version:
Arise, shine;For your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people; But the LORD will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you.
New American Standard Bible
"Arise, shine; for your light has come,And the glory of the LORD has risen upon you. "For behold, darkness will cover the earthAnd deep darkness the peoples;But the LORD will rise upon youAnd His glory will appear upon you.
Amplified Bible
ARISE [from the depression and prostration in which circumstances have kept you--rise to a new life]! Shine (be radiant with the glory of the Lord), for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you! For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and dense darkness [all] peoples, but the Lord shall arise upon you [O Jerusalem], and His glory shall be seen on you.

The Message
"Get out of bed, Jerusalem! Wake up. Put your face in the sunlight. God's bright glory has risen for you.The whole earth is wrapped in darkness, all people sunk in deep darkness,But God rises on you, his sunrise glory breaks over you."

<)))>< <)))>< <)))>< <)))>< <)))>< <)))>< <)))>< <)))><

I encourage you, this year, 2010, to ARISE & SHINE! Don't "hide your light"! The Amplified version says to arise from the "depression & prostration in which circumstances have kept you in" & to "Shine & be radiant with the glory of the Lord". So, what is it this past season (year) that has been holding you back, maybe even paralyzing you from going forward & doing all that God has created you for? Shake it off...arise & shine!!! God has created each one of us as unique individuals & TOGETHER we make up the Body of Christ. So seek God & His willl & purposes for you in this new season & allow Him to come upon you in a new way & His glory (as The Message beautifully says, His SUNRISE <> glory breaks over you), & SHINE! This is not only for you....but for all those you will come in contact with.....friends, family, co-workers, loved ones & strangers. It's a new day....a new year.....it's time to RISE UP & be transparent enough (not holding back or hiding) that His Light then SHINES THROUGH YOU to all those around you.

The decision is yours.....now whatcha gonna do about it?

Go GOD & Go GOD in YOU!!!!

God's love & mine,
Nonnie
