Taste and see
That the Lord is Good
Oh drink of his bounty
Don't sip, engulf!
In the well of Life
For in him there is plenty
Of water that quenches
That a soul of a man
Crying out because he thirst!
Then Jesus, he comes
As he did that day
When him
And the Samaritan conversed!

Just a testimony of drawing near
Last night(February 24th) I felt I really had to get away in my room with the Lord. I was being attacked by doubt in my heart so much,and I just knew I had to get away and draw near unto God. It was awesome. It's funny how thspirit of doubt tries to plant seeds in our hearts, while at the same time,the spirit of God is in our hearts as well(1 corinthians 1:22). With some instances in scripture, the word heart is referred really as the mind, but regardless, our physical minds are connected to our physical hearts. that is another subject though. I went straight into my secret place with god and just sat at the floor, against my dresser, while looking at one of my windows. On top of the dresser was my stereo,and I knew I had my hillsong CD in there(side note: The I heart Revolution CD-double disk-Get it! ) And there was song called"You'll come". I started playing it. Thank God for anointed music to help our souls!I started to sing the song and as I ws singing, I began to weep uncontollably. I had streams of tears flowing from my eyes like rivers,but not of sorrow, but of hope! The Spirit of God inside me filled my heart with hope like never before! I was reminded of the scripture when paul said"Right now three things remain: faith, hope, and love.." (1 cor. 13:13) and this also,"Now may God, the source of hope, fill you with all joy and peace as you believe, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." I said to myself of what peace I had inside my whole body.It was amazing!! Jesus really boosted me that night. It didn't take us to do some great act or religious act to get god's attention,all it took was drawing near unto god and being transparent with him. the spirit had shown me that if we just do that during these times of trouble and the end times as a whole, we will not lose that connection with the Lord IF we stay submitted unto him.

The Need of the Prophetic Part 2
Starting off with what I said about Jesus, he declared the pharisees that they have tried to find Life in the scriptures, rather than in Christ himself. When God speaks prophetically, his words are Life and Spirit (John 6:63). Jesus was a prophet and of course more so the son of God, but his words were the words of the father himself. Jeus had said that he had done what he saw his father doing, and would what his father is saying.Also comes this, "But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’" (Matthew 4:4 New King James). Again I'm not trying to persuade on my beliefs but to challenge you to hear what your own father is saying now!. Don't go to every prophet known today to get a word,but challenge your spirit to hear God and grow deeper in his heart. And test every spirit by the word of God because not everything you hear yourself and from people is the LORD. Take care and God bless You

The Need for the Prophetic
Hola my fellow brothers and sisters in the Lord! I just wanted to address something that's a subject that can be hard to deal with for believers. Some people question the prophetic move of God and what he has been saying. Ephesians 4:11-13 says this,"It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, 12to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ." Yes I know in the tense of this scripture, it seems past tense"It was he who gave.."but we also need to come in mind that before time began, the callings of our lives were given to us(2 timothy 1:9) "He is the one who saved us 1 and called us with a holy calling, not based on 2 our works but on his own purpose and grace, granted to us in Christ Jesus before time began." Im not here to say that my point is right and all the christians who don't believe in prophets are wrong but I am is that we must dig in the word and see the necessities of the body of Christ coming union with God's Holy Spirit. We all have our opinions and beliefs, but when God does something today that edifies, warns and helps anyone to know God, consider his ways!! Do not rely on intellect and wha you remember in the bible. God is not stupid to where he cant prove himself through his son. Jesus told the pharisees that He proved himself many times and the pharisees still didnt believe him and whats written of him in the scriptures....(To Be Continued)

No Carnality
Do not let my ears reject wisdom
Nor my heart accept hate
Let I rejoice in all freedom
For all of righteousness' sake
So that I may be filled of you
Oh Lord so I have none of me
As natural eyes are blind
But spiritually I see
That my carnal self
rejects your being
But if my flesh dies in death
Than my spirit will be living!
So then I won't reject wisdom
Or have my heart accept hate
But will live for Christ eternally
for your own name's sake
The Lord takes everything seriously for his name's sake. Jewish people know this and believe that the term "God" is derogatory(a bad meaning) to the nature of himself. Of course there are different views for that term but one thing stands, because of his name's sake, righteousness is made known. Even satan knows that. Many people say the name of Jesus as a curse word,but don't know the meaning of it. Why is that when people say Jesus while meaning the man,in the midst of sinners, that others marvel because of his name? It's because all people know that the name carries value and greatness. If we have any reason to do anything for God, do it for his name's sake. Make his name known. A psalmist speaks of it in psalms 25:11 "Because of your name, O Lord, let me have forgiveness for my sin, which is very great."

The Throne of Grace
Majestic in its color
I stay in awe of all of its splendor
Beyond the gold...beyond the sea...
It stands out
Its radiant light of Glory
Inscripted by the truth of ages
In a Hebrew language
It welcomes...
Seven lampstands cry out a praise
the twenty and four declare its grace
With the God of Heaven
looking upon...me
I stand in fear and in trembling
In a place called intimacy
With the father, the spirit, and the son
And the Throne of Grace
Hebrews 4:16 talks about coming bold to the Throne of Grace. If you look at a child, a child that has a loving father is always bold with their request.they know that their daddy will listen,simply because they are his child. Whether of blood or adoption, a daddy who loves his kid will listen to his child's request, and one way the father knows that the child is his, is that the child is of the father's nature. Since we have become God's children in Christ through the Holy Spirit, we have a right to come to God with our request and our hearts. It's not with just a prayer, but with a longing and a revelatory aspect of our being with Jehovah that we can come to the throne with boldness, knowing that God will hear us. Do not be afraid to come to your father.Seek him daily and invision yourself before the throne of God almighty and know he's got you. God Bless

Great Is Your Dwelling Place
(Derived from Psalms 84)
How lovely is your dwelling place
Oh Lord of Host
My heart and my flesh
Is made to boast
In My God who has room
For a Sparrow
And has a nest
Even for a swallow
Blessed are those
Who come into your house
For they shall be praising you
With their mouths
Blessed is the man
Who finds strength in you
As well as one who puts
His trust in you
Even though they pass through
The valley of Baca
They say,"Hear my prayer, give ear
Oh God of Jacob!"
Look upon our shield and upon
The face of the anointed
For a day in your courts
Is better than a thousand with the wicked
As you are, my Lord, a sun and a shield
And will give grace and glory
No good thing will you withhold
From those who walk uprightly
Glory to G od for this. David knew that a man can rely on God for strength("Blessed is a man who finds strength in you"). It is December 12,2008 currently and most are being frantic about this economic time. David said "Even though they pass through the valley of Baca, they say 'Hear my prayer, give ear, oh God of Jacob' ." I believe in my heart that Baca that was desolate of life, like a desert, a place that was of famine, but yet, a man can cry out to God and recieve strength from him. From God there's life, through Jesus comes life,and the Holy Spirit breathes life. IF you're in that valley, be encourage to call on the Lord and remember the great things he has done for you. He is worthy of praise and Honor. With God you will make it through the fire, as Psalms 71:20 says," You have made me endure many terrible troubles. You restore me to life again. You bring me back from the depths of the earth."(god's word translation). The Lord will revive you again. Hold on tight, never give up and call on Jesus and he'll keep you through the storm.
