Cartwheels in Heaven ~ One of my blogreadings~

12 Oct 2009
Tracie Miles

"But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love." Psalm 33:18 (NIV)

Something was missing. I tried to write, but no words came. I tried to focus, but my attention wandered. I tried to pray, but words were few.

I finally realized what was missing: hope.

My sweet sister has been fighting a battle with Multiple Sclerosis for twelve years. Each day brings new difficulties, new hurts, new medicines, and new reasons to lose hope. As I watched her struggle day after day, my heartbreak became overwhelming, and I had lost sight of any reason to be hopeful.

One day recently as I chatted with my sister, she told me about a dream she had the night before. In this dream, she was running, doing cartwh eels, and playing rambunctiously with her children. She said the dream seemed to last for hours, and she vividly remembered laughing and feeling happy.

Then she woke up. To reality. A reality where she can barely walk, much less run. A reality where carefree romping and playing is nothing more than a memory. A reality filled with pain, disappointment and a lack of hope. She awoke and cried.

I've prayed for her healing so many times that I've wondered if God is tired of hearing it. I've pleaded with Him to give her comfort and peace. I've pressured Him for discernment and a glimpse of His plan so I can understand her plight.

I've found myself wondering if hope is realistic when a situation appears hopeless? Is physical healing possible, when all odds seem against it? Is comfort and freedom from pain attainable, when every cell inside a body is raging a war against itself? Is peace actually available for those who find no end to the hurting?

In my quest to find an answer, I looked up the definition of hope: The feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best; to look forward to with desire and reasonable confidence; to feel that something desired may happen. And the last definition said this, to continue to hope, although the outlook does not warrant it.

As I pondered that, my spirit leapt. This was the meaning God wanted me to understand today.
Thinking back on the prior week, I could see how God had filled my days with gentle, subtle reminders of hope through verses, emails, and devotions. He had heard the cries of my heart. I felt His Spirit leading me to a place of truly believing in the hope that only He can offer, even when the earthly outlook does not warrant it.

He had been sweetly nudging me to seek hope in Him. To allow His reassurance to saturate my heart, and fill that empty, dry space. I was reminded that hope is as essential for survival as food and water . Hope is life-giving.

My sister's 10 year-old daughter responded to her dream that morning. She told mommy not to be sad, because one day they could do cartwheels in heaven together. Upon hearing this, I felt hot tears and caught a glimpse of unfailing, eternal hope—right out of the mouths of babes.
Whether any of us do cartwheels on earth, or in heaven, is God's decision. But hope begins in believing that He was, is, and will forever be the source of our hope.

Sweet Jesus, forgive me for losing sight of where true hope is found. Infuse my heart and mind with the hope that can only be found in You. Please quench my thirst for understanding with reassurance of Your faithfulness. I ask that You guard my heart from the temptation to focus on the problem, instead of the One who holds everything in His hands. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

The Clay.....The Potter...........Refiner's fire......

To all the pots that heard the good news and responded to the truth the Potter sent His Spirit of truth to guide and bear witness that they truly were children of the Potter. He said to them," Like clay in the hand of the potter,so are you in my hand"( Jeremiah 18:^). Because these redeemed pots had been molded by this world, He had to remake them in His image. These new creations could not be made by there own, but they would have an important part to play in becoming more and more like the Potter.Although they would have many other useful purposes  for remaining on planet earth,nothing was more important to the Potter than to have all His redeemed pots free from there awful past and become pure like Him........


CHANGE...-SANCTIFICATION- 

The common to made  holy by the hand of God

About sinners becoming saints.

And about children of wrath to become children of God.

" Be holy because I am holy " ( 1 Peter1:16)
( Out of "GOD'S POWER AT WORK IN YOU" written by N.Anderson and R Saucy)

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. ~Psalm 51:17 

Refiners Fire

There are times in our lives where we are in the refiner's fire. There's nothing in it that's comfortable, but the showers of His soothing rain brings comfort and peace in the midst of the drilling and dealing.The Good news is,you will come out refined and refreshed if you hang in there.....He will not allow you to go through anything that He knows you can not handle....

Let it burn!

Spiritual Sunday ~" THE POTTER "~

This morning i was contemplating God's transforming power in us as Christians.....
The picture of God "The Potter" entered my mind, and i am the clay..!
My hand stretched out  to my bookshelf at a book, with a similar picture as above on it with the name "GOD'S POWER AT WORK IN YOU" written by N.Anderson and R Saucy
I believe i started reading this book some years ago,but did not finish it....So i opened  it to look in  the 1st pages and got a surprise ..... I share it today with you...

God's Desire for You

A long time ago the infinite and eternal Creator sat down at His potter's wheel as He had so many times before.Everything He had made so far was very good,but this time He had something else in mind. He wanted to create something in His own image. Something, or better, someone who could personally relate to Him.
The Potter had already fashioned living beings to inhabit planet earth,but this new creation would be different. Far more significant than all other earthen vessels,this new creation would be fruitful and multiply and rule over all the other created beings who flew in the sky,walked on the earth,or swam in the seas.


So He took a globe of clay and placed it on His wheel. As the wheel began to turn,He placed His thumbs in the center of the clay and formed the inward parts.Miraculously the clay began to take shape.As the wheel turned faster and faster, the clay began to rise from the earth from which it was taken. Fearfully and wonderfully He made this new creation which He had planned from the beginning of time. But He wasn't done. Something was missing. The clay had no life. So he breathed into this earthen pot the breath of life and it became a living being. This fusion of divine life and earthly clay would make this new creation different from all the other created beings.
What appeared to be common was indeed holy,and set apart to do His will.


All would have been well if it hadn't been for a previously created spirit being who thought he should be at least equal to the one who made him. That, of course was an absurd notion, even though he was the most beautiful of all created things.
This masterpiece was created to be a light-bearer. But by his own choice, this rebel became the prince of darkness. Not wanting to be alone in his rebellion, this arrogant spirit being persuaded many other lesser spirits to join him.The Potter could not tolerate this sinful rebellion. So He cast the spirits out of His presence, and they fell from their heavenly abode.


The prince of darkness could not stand the thought that a new creation by the Potter would actually rule over him. If only he could get this new creation to act independently of the Potter.I know what i will do,thought the evil prince, I'll get this upstart pot to think that he too could be like the Potter and decide for himself what is good and evil.What a lie ! " Does not the potter have a right over the clay...?"( romans 9:21) " Will the clay say to the Potter,"What are you doing?"( Isaiah 45;9)
This crafty devil actually managed to deceive this new creation by questioning the word of the Potter, enticing him to do his own thing and live independent of the one who fashioned him


The consequences were swift and immediate. This new creation lost the divine breath that made him spiritually alive and introduced impurities into the clay from which he was made.He no longer had a relationship with  the Potter who made him. Because of the impurities in his clay,the earthen vessel would also deteriorate and eventually die. The Potter had designed this new creation and his partner to multiply and fill the earth, and that is what they continued to do,but all their offspring were born dead in their trespasses and sins like their parents. They lost their dominion over all the other creation,and the prince of darkness became the rebel holder of authority that the Potter had intended for the pot and his offspring to have.
Now this rebel prince of darkness had his own little kingdom to rule over on planet Earth. He was the god of this world and prince of power of the air. Fallen pots and lesser evil spirits were under his authority and were slaves to his sinful ways.


But the Potter loved what He had created and had a plan to undo the works of the rebel prince-a plan that would do something about the impurities that now characterized all His creation because He cannot tolerate anything impure in His presence. Through this plan, He would give them His Life again. The Potter said," I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you: and i will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And i will put my Spirit in you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws"( Ezekiel 36:26,27)


The Potter"s plan required He Himself to take on the form of a pot and show the earthly pots how to live a life totally dependent upon the Potter. The prince of darkness threw every possible temptation at this Divine Pot in the hopes that He too would choose to live independent of the Potter,but He stood His ground and declared that pots don't live by the things of this world but by everything that comes from the mouth of the Potter ( see Matthew 4:4) But He had to do more than just show them how to live,because the consequence of their impurities was certain destruction.


So this Divine Pot who was sent from the Potter had to take all the consequences of the impurities of the fallen pots upon Himself in order that the fallen pots could become pure again. All the forces of evil came against Him and the Potter's just anger against impurity fell on Him and He died. He died to sin once and for all for the fallen pots who would trust in Him. Then three days later ,this Divine Pot was resurrected,showing that His death had defeated the prince of darkness and made it possible for all the fallen pots to be forgiven and receive divine life if they would only believe Him. The law of life in this Divine Pot was greater than the law of the impurities and the law of death.


Although the prince of darkness was defeated, he and all his evil spirits were allowed by the Potter to continue roaming across the planet earth untill their final judgement came upon them.
Their plan was to blind the minds of the unbelieving pots so that they could never hear the good news that the divine pot had come to die for there sins and give them life.Many believed this lie and never received their pardon.Others believed the truth and were instantly forgiven and they received the life offered by the Divine Pot,but the evil one tempted,accused,and did everything within his limited power to get the forgiven pots to believe his lies.


To all the pots that heard the good news and responded to the truth the Potter sent His Spirit of truth to guide and bear witness that they truly were children of the Potter. He said to them," Like clay in the hand of the potter,so are you in my hand"( Jeremiah 18:^). Because these redeemed pots had been molded by this world, He had to remake them in His image. These new creations could not be made by there own, but they would have an important part to play in becoming more and more like the Potter.Although they would have many other useful purposes  for remaining on planet earth,nothing was more important to the Potter than to have all His redeemed pots free from there awful past and become pure like Him........


This book is about CHANGE...-SANCTIFICATION- 

The common to made  holy by the hand of God

About sinners becoming saints.

And about children of wrath to become children of God.

" Be holy because I am holy " ( 1 Peter1:16)

Have you made the decision to let God be God and desire nothing more than to be the person He created you to be?
Are  you convinced that the will of God is good,acceptable, and perfect for you( Romans 12:2) even before you know certain what it is? Be assured that God loves His  children and He has no plans for you that aren't good, although you will surely undergo some times of testing in order that you may be purified. We have been warned in 1 Peter 4:12-14.......


The REFINER'S FIRE is necessary in order for the Potter to conform His earthen vessels back into His  image................

The songwriter said it well:

Refiner's fire

My heart's one desire

it's to be holy

Set apart unto You my Maker

Ready to do Your will.

Psalm 45

A Wedding Song of the Sons of Korah

 ¹ My heart bursts its banks, spilling beauty and goodness.
   I pour it out in a poem to the king,
      shaping the river into words:

   

 ^2-4 "You're the handsomest of men;
      every word from your lips is sheer grace,
      and God has blessed you, blessed you so much.
   Strap your sword to your side, warrior!
      Accept praise! Accept due honor!
      Ride majestically! Ride triumphantly!
   Ride on the side of truth!
      Ride for the righteous meek!

 ^4-5 "Your instructions are glow-in-the-dark;
      you shoot sharp arrows
   Into enemy hearts; the king's
      foes lie down in the dust, beaten.

 ^6-7 "Your throne is God's throne,
      ever and always;
   The scepter of your royal rule
      measures right living.
   You love the right
      and hate the wrong.
   And that is why God, your very own God,
      poured fragrant oil on your head,
   Marking you out as king
      from among your dear companions.

 ^8-9 "Your ozone-drenched garments
      are fragrant with mountain breeze.
   Chamber music—from the throne room—
      makes you want to dance.
   Kings' daughters are maids in your court,
      the Bride glittering with golden jewelry. 

 ^10-12 "Now listen, daughter, don't miss a word:
      forget your country, put your home behind you.
   Be here—the king is wild for you.
      Since he's your lord, adore him.
   Wedding gifts pour in from Tyre;
      rich guests shower you with presents."

 ^13-15 (Her wedding dress is dazzling,
      lined with gold by the weavers;
   All her dresses and robes
      are woven with gold.
   She is led to the king,
      followed by her virgin companions.
   A procession of joy and laughter!
      a grand entrance to the king's palace!)

 ^16-17 "Set your mind now on sons—
      don't dote on father and grandfather.
   You'll set your sons up as princes
      all over the earth.
   I'll make you famous for generations;
      you'll be the talk of the town
      for a long, long time."

WFW ~ WAILING WOMAN~

Jeremiah 9:17-23 (The Message)

A Life That Is All Outside but No Inside

 ^17-19A Message from God-of-the-Angel-Armies:

   "Look over the trouble we're in and call for help.
   Send for some singers who can help us mourn our loss.
Tell them to hurry—
   to help us express our loss and lament,
Help us get our tears flowing,
   make tearful music of our crying.
Listen to it!
   Listen to that torrent of tears out of Zion:
'We're a ruined people,
   we're a shamed people!
We've been driven from our homes
   and must leave our land!'"

 ^20-21Mourning women! Oh, listen to God's Message!
   Open your ears. Take in what he says.
Teach your daughters songs for the dead
   and your friends the songs of heartbreak.
Death has climbed in through the window,
   broken into our bedrooms.
Children on the playgrounds drop dead,
   and young men and women collapse at their games.

"Extreme Makeover: How God Renewed Our Marriage Against All the Odds."

This picture above was the picture i had in mind when i will be married!

Example for a good (godly) marriage was the marriage of my Grandparents.

No matter good examples..i had also wrong examples or marriages..who i saw as "unloving", not how i pictured mine has to be.....differently,or rather stay happily and single.......

As a young christian ( really a 'baby " spiritually) I fell "head over heals in love"  and it was both side.......The LOVE OF MY LIFE was also a "baby christian".Very attractive and interesting because

1. Opposite's attracts
2. Coming out of another culture IS interesting 
3. Values what i saw as important i found: in him: f.e. hardworking,passionate

That time we felt a nudge not to life together but to marry......

I see now that God Blessed us because of that decision!

We stayed long (LOL) in a "pink cloud" and we felt we could conquer the world!

When we look now at what steps we made....It is because we dare to do things together....Start a business together beside mine part-time job.....

 We had faith in eachother and God was in it!

Where the enemy creeped in i don't know...

I think in the events of Life we lost sight of putting our priotities straight, and did not put GOD FIRST!!

When we woke up ...the pink cloud was gone and we looked at eachother

and strangely

all that was atractive and interesting was NOW seen as a down side........

1. Because of being a hard worker i felt lonely to be mostly with the kids
2. I wanted to compete to be also an hard worker
3. Comunication problems because of other values ..Not understanding eachother or interpreteted differently because of culture diffrences 

Well we both felt desillusioned and knew we where on the WRONG PATH!!

GOD SO GOOD!!

Seperately He start working at us....,speaking to us.......

That we see now we are looking back!!

When we where in the MIDDLE we OBEDIENTLY stayed together

And the only thing i heard was..........PRAY!!

I struggle with this and still with God about it because I always feel that i can't pray!

But i can say full heartedly ,what this picture says......

I believe that because of obedience and drawing closer again to God ...HIS POWER start healing and knitting us together  in the way HE INTENDED IT!!

He brought my way books and the p31 online ministry where i met sisters who gave encouragement and also practical tips ....how to survive those seasons in a marriage!!

God  is in the working bussiness in His CHILDREN....
We both where and are.......
He has His own plan with both of us....What we did not see than we see now......
He only asked TO PRAY AND FOLLOW.
Even when you do not understand.
I did not understand....sometimes i run out of my house...jump on my bike...began to Jog around in the park......Prayed for Godly and neutral people to talk with.......
But in all this HE IS FAITHFUL and ANSWERS PRAYER sometimes TOTALLY DIFFERENT
But always GOOD for His children!!

Spiritual Sunday ~ CHANGE ........HAVE YOR WAY LORD.....~

Today a New week starts and a week is behind me was my thought this morning.
After praying to the Lord.

My last week "Watch Word" was
The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the
Lord is clear, enlightening the eyes. Psalm 19:8
It spoke volumes to me last thursday and felt my heart really rejoicing i had to post about that on that day.

God is stirring and drawing me closer and closer.....
In the physical realm we experience change of seasons just like in nature.....
I believe God is stirring and drawing at us as His children for CHANGE in our spirit what will bring change in our physical but in all we will encounter!!

For me He want me to change my mind being more focus to get " THE MIND OF CHRIST".....I heard the call He said " FOR I AM TO DO SOMETHING NEW. SEE I HAVE ALREADY BEGUN! DO YOU NOT SEE IT? Isaiah 43:19

I love His promises of hope and newness ......Let Him has His way in our heart!

Have Your Way" by Hillsong (1998).

This yearning deep within me
reaches out to You.
Your oil of joy for mourning
soaks me, makes me new.

And I will go to Your secret place
Bow my knee to Your glorious throne
Have Your way in my heart oh Lord
Have Your way.

And I will go to Your secret place,
Bow my knee to Your glorious throne.
Have Your way in my heart, oh Lord.
Have Your way.

I need You Holy Spirit,
Fire to my soul.
Consume my total being.
Jesus take control.

And I will go to Your secret place.
Bow my knee to Your glorious throne.
Have Your way in my heart, oh Lord.
Have Your way.

And I will go to Your secret place
Bow my knee to Your glorious throne.
Have Your way in my heart, oh Lord.
Have Your way.

Have Your way.
Have Your way.
Have Your way.

Use my life Lord.
Let it bring glory to Your name.
Change my heart, change it God.

And I will go to Your secret place
Bow my knee to Your glorious throne.

Have Your way.

Holy Spirit Fill This Room

Early years

A native of central Florida, Martha Munizzi was born into a Christian musical family. The daughter of evangelists, Martha and her twin sister Mary Alessi were born in Lakeland, FloridaUnited States and Canada. and grew up traveling and ministering through music with her family. She began performing at age 8, touring the country with her family in concerts and crusades around the

Martha, Mary, and their older sister Marvelyne were born with their parents' talent for music and became a part of the traveling family group as kids. The family settled in Orlando, Florida when Mary and Martha were 12, so that the children could attend formal, public school.

At age 16, Mary, Martha and Marveline (age 18) helped form a praise and worship band at the urging of a church friend. That group evolved into Testament and became popular enough to travel around the state of Florida performing in churches and at conferences and other events.

One year after completing high school (1986), Martha married Dan Munizzi, who was a keyboard and bass player in the band Testament. In 1993 she and Dan became the music directors and founding members of a new, fledgling church in Orlando, Florida initially leading a congregation of 250 and a choir of about 30 people that eventually grew in 8 years into a 5000 member congregation and a 200 member music team. They remained there until 2001.

She led worship at Lakewood Church while Cindy Cruse-Ratcliff was on maternity leave.^[1][2]

Musical career

Along with figures like Ron Kenoly, CeCe Winans, and Israel Houghton, Munizzi is pioneering cross-cultural worship music that not only connects with both black and white Christian congregations but also reaches the masses.^[3]

Munizzi's songs are self-published under the name Say The Name Publishing/Martha Munizzi Music. She released her first Praise & Worship/Gospel album, Say the Name (2002), followed by The Best Is Yet to Come (2003) and When He Came (2004), both of which debuted high on Billboard's Gospel chart. The Best Is Yet to Come peaked at #2 on the Billboard Music Top Gospel Album charts in 2004 and remained on the charts for more than a year.

In 2004 Munizzi had two music albums in the top five on Billboard's Gospel charts at the same time (The Best Is Yet to Come at #2 and When He Came at #5) and Billboard Magazine named her as one of the top five Gospel Artists for 2004. Additionally, her project The Best Is Yet to Come was named one of the top ten selling Gospel projects for 2004.

In 2005 she signed a distribution deal with Integrity Media, Inc. Under this agreement her previously released albums The Best Is Yet To Come and Say The Name and all future releases were to be distributed to Christian retail outlets through Provident-Integrity Distribution and to general market outlets on the Epic Records (a division of Sony-BMG Distribution).^[4]

In 2006 Munizzi released her next CD entitled No Limits Live. This CD debuted on Billboard's Top Gospel Charts at #1 and remained at the top of the charts for 6 weeks.

I had to be in bed already but my sleeping ritme is a little in "shambles" due to jumping in bed anytime if possible to let my shoulder rest!
Nevertheless i grumbled at the pain and fighting against my getting irritated for every little thing.......

I praise God that tomorrow i can start with Physical therapy just in the same building at my workplace!!
I waited 1 week for a phone call....and today when i was at work i felt the nudge to not wait and show my face there and ask.......
The lady said " yes yes i remember your name ....let's look........Oooh a pt just call of tomorrow at noon.......Can you come??!!Sure i can come......I walked away while praising God in my pain......Thus we not serve a great God who is in the working business!!

I remember the verse i quoted last week
"You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good." Genesis 50:20

Let's pray tomorrow( in case you read it on friday TODAY!!)

For ALL that is on our heart
For everyone that is on our heart
For the horrific suffering due to disasters...Philipines....now Indonesia( Sumatra)
Suffering due to weather conditions.........famines.....no water ALOT of people are dying.Read f.e on Marsha Musings blog here, here and here "Moving heaven and Earth"
There is suffering in our own community's let's pray for God to open our eyes, open resources to reach those people for there physical need ,but also there spiritual needs.....!

Thank You Lord that we can come to your throne of Grace ,Mercy and Compassion....
That we can bring all and everyone and every situation that is on our heart to you....
We can always ask you said! " Ask and it shall be given"
We know You safes....You heal.....You comfort......,You restores.....and give VICTORY........
We only need to BELIEVE and TRUST.......!
We humbly come together before your throne Lord....forgive us for sins we commit against you what we know and what we don't know Lord....
Wash us clean Lord make us whiter than snow and stronger than ever ,cloth us with all that we need to stand firm and fight a good fight in this life!
We lift our hands and our heart and eyes up to You Lord and know that our help comes from You.
Thank You ,Father,Lord Jesus and Holy Spirit.
We love and adore You. Amen

THANKFUL THURSDAY ~ REJOICING HEART and ENLIGHTEND EYES~

Watchword for the Week
The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the
Lord is clear, enlightening the eyes. Psalm 19:8

THANKFUL THURSDAY!!
Bloggers are linking -up with Sonya at "TRUTH4THEJOURNEY" and with Lynn at"SPIRITUAL UNEQUAL MARRIAGE"
WE are lifting our HEARTS up to the Lord by REJOICING and PRAISING and GIVING THANKS for ALL HE does AND WILL DO for us.

I don't know the theme yet Lynn will put forth because i write this wednesday because I'm prompted to do it this morning when in my heart wealth up THANKSGIVING when i read my "Watch Word " for the week out of my Moravian devotion, just after a discussion i had with my dh's about a dream he had.......

THE LORDS
PRECEPTS are right!
They REJOICE the heart.
The COMMANDMENT is clear
They ENLIGHTENING my EYES!!
( Two verses about precepts and commandments of God,came to my attention when i surge about it on biblegateway.com.)

Proverbs 22:17 (The Message)

The Thirty Precepts of the Sages

Don't Move Back the Boundary Lines!!

^17-21 Listen carefully to my wisdom;
take to heart what I can teach you.
You'll treasure its sweetness deep within;
you'll give it bold expression in your speech.
To make sure your foundation is trust in God,
I'm laying it all out right now just for you.
I'm giving you thirty sterling principles—
tested guidelines to live by.
Believe me—these are truths that work,
and will keep you accountable
to those who sent you.

Deuteronomy 6:13-19 (The Message)

^13-19 Deeply respect God, your God. Serve and worship him exclusively. Back up your promises with his name only. Don't fool around with other gods, the gods of your neighbors, because God, your God, who is alive among you is a jealous God. Don't provoke him, igniting his hot anger that would burn you right off the face of the Earth. Don't push God, your God, to the wall as you did that day at Massah, the Testing-Place. Carefully keep the commands of God, your God, all the requirements and regulations he gave you. Do what is right; do what is good in God's sight so you'll live a good life and be able to march in and take this pleasant land that God so solemnly promised through your ancestors, throwing out your enemies left and right—exactly as God said.
