To know God and that He listens and inhabits my prayers!
SPRING PRAYER
For flowers that bloom about our feet;
For tender grass, so fresh, so sweet;
For song of bird, and hum of bee;
For all things fair we hear or see,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee!
For blue of stream and blue of sky;
For pleasant shade of branches high;
For fragrant air and cooling breeze;
For beauty of the blooming trees,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee!
Ralph Waldo Emerson
At Laurie's from "Woman taking a stand" for more thankful posts.
Remember tomorrow is :
“They do not fear bad news; they confidently trust the Lord to care for them. They are confident and fearless and can face their foes triumphantly.” ~ Psalm 112:7-8
A day bloggers put aside to pray for eachother

Let's roar together tomorrow and everyday towards our enemies and lift eachother up in prayer.
I combined my TT and tomorrows post because of "time issue" but our Thanksgiving and praying to STAND Fearlessly in our "daily battles" goes hand in hand.....
Thanks for visiting....
Have an great and blessed TT and Fearless Friday and an beautifull Spring weekend!
I could not decide what to blog about so i take you on "My Journey" on "The Journey of my thought flow today...." I know we will both be blessed because along this blogging i see this is how God works through me and this blog "My Journey"
Todays "WFW" was an surge of me for an picture when i encountered this verse in an daily devotion book
"But the path of the righteous ones is like the bright light that is getting lighter and lighter until the day is firmly established."
(Proverbs 4:18)
An inner voice...; to me that is "God's Spirit who lives in me" because He ( Jesus) said so when you follow me and seek me .............I will sent you my spirit to comfort, guide made myself known to you in Gods Word ......
( can't tell this moment which part of the bible it is written...)
Said "This is it ...look your life must get lighter and lighter and YOU will shine more and more.."
But the road of wrongdoing gets darker and darker— travelers can't see a thing; they fall flat on their faces.
" Is it not like this when You look around you...when you look at your own life......? The times you fell flat on your face...Where you on the path of righteouseness"?
That was my morning devotion time with the Lord between the morning activities......
Some hours later after some errands and enjoying the Spring weather outside... My attention was caught by an blog on "AmazingGraceMazesMessesMiracles" sister Peggy was writing and explaining about the prayer i posted yesterday..."I Arise"...... Her blog from yesterday inspired me also to surge for this prayer on Youtube..... and i posted an part with music and the whole prayer she posted today.... "St Patrick" is not an holiday or feastday overhere so far i know..... But the words and song i heard or read before
But always when i read i can sense God's Spirit tells me "pay attention to this...or that"! Evenzo this time I read
The LORICAor BREASTPLATE of ST. PATRICK shares all the parts of a Catholic morning prayer, which we all could learn from also, as we put on the armor of God every day according to Ephesians 6:)
"Stand firm therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness."Ephesians 6:14
The lorica as a prayer, has the elements of the act of Faith (expressing the Catholic teaching on the Trinity and on Christ); Hope (in God's protection throughout the day and throughout life, as well as in eternal salvation); and Charity (Love)(in the love expressed for God). This is a prayer of anticipation of the victory over paganism.
My thought flow......
"God you are telling me AGAIN i MUST put on EVERY DAY...Eph 6...
GIRDED MY LOINS WIT THRUTH,and having put on the breastplate of RIGHTEOUSENESS!!
This morning Lord YOU brought this last word also to my attention......RIGHTEOUSENESS !!
Lord an hour ago when walking in Your beautiful spring weather, I had an talk with my husband about what we see is happening right this moment in people we love dearly.....That they choose for the way of wrong doing and there life is getting darker and darker......and that while praying for them we feel and see an spiritual battle is going on........
They attacking us and or are hiding afraid of the confrontation with the light....YOUR WORD and WISDOM!
I read Lord what this sister is saying " This is a prayer of anticipation of the victory over paganism."
Yes Lord you confirm it father to me that the prayers we will sent up for our loved ones WILL GIVE VICTORY over paganism.......
Will draw them to the Light will protect us from fiercy darts thrown to us......
Yes i want and i MUST stay on the righteouse path....to be victorious.....To be an witness in words and acts for you Lord! You are giving me the warning/reminder today to put on the breastplate of righteousness EVERYDAY.
I must delf -in to know what this really MEANS.......!!
The blog of the sister i mentioned above started giving me the verses words and directions what to read and where to go in God's word......
I was captivated and could not let go of going on reading..... I heard ny son bussy in the back room and the clock was ticking and telling me there are still so much minutes to go to soccer training.....LOL..... This is real life and how God is speaking to us isn't it....??
I was brought again on an website i was planning to do the bible study but i relent in doing it........ Yes father "I know i must make time......it will not be given to me......."The Wardrobe from the King" Chapter 3 is Clothed in Righteousness.
And the words "Preparing for Battle" waked me up to take this really serious!!!!
So true what they say before starting the bible study of Psalm 84
Preparing for Battle
Relationships and responsibilities crowd my mind and stir my heart. Television, newspapers, people, and possessions tempt me to focus on everything but my King. How can I escape their tyranny? How can I manifest the purity of the King while living in an unholy world? How do I maintain a sense of personal worth when my performance points to failure? In this age of abundance, how do I discern between wants and needs, between lust and genuine Spirit-inspired responses to my Father?
Quietly Jesus seems to whisper, "Seek first My kingdom and My righteousness, then I will choose for you my very highest and best. Look first at Me, then I will share with you My true perspective of the world and its treasures, of circumstances and their significance to your growth, and of people and their part in your completion. Infinitely happy are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall find complete fulfillment."
The hungry and thirsty know their need. Nothing can stop them from seeking until they find the source of life-giving sustenance. Satisfied, they yearn for more as Jesus salts their hearts and produces perpetual thirst and satisfaction. Having glimpsed His loveliness and experienced His sufficiency, they find no fulfillment apart from an ever-deepening oneness with the Fountain Himself
Our Lord is a holy God who cannot tolerate sin, yet He loves the sinner. (That's you and me apart from Him!) Only by His mercy, grace and righteousness can we enjoy the greatest gift of all - life in His holy dwelling place and the peace of His constant presence. What a privilege!
Precious, holy King, I can neither come to You, hear You, nor please You on my own. I need You every moment. My heart longs for deeper oneness with You in all that You are, do, and desire; I yearn to understand more clearly and to appropriate more fully the gift of Your righteousness. Thank YOU for leading me on Your paths of righteousness, my King and my Shepherd.
Psalm 84 (The Message) A Korah Psalm
.1-2What a beautiful home, God-of-the-Angel-Armies! I've always longed to live in a place like this, Always dreamed of a room in your house, where I could sing for joy to God-alive! 3-4 Birds find nooks and crannies in your house, sparrows and swallows make nests there. They lay their eggs and raise their young, singing their songs in the place where we worship. God-of-the-Angel-Armies! King! God! How blessed they are to live and sing there! 5-7And how blessed all those in whom you live, whose lives become roads you travel; They wind through lonesome valleys, come upon brooks, discover cool springs and pools brimming with rain! God-traveled, these roads curve up the mountain, and at the last turn—Zion! God in full view! 8-9God-of-the-Angel-Armies, listen: O God of Jacob, open your ears—I'm praying! Look at our shields, glistening in the sun, our faces, shining with your gracious anointing. 10-12 One day spent in your house, this beautiful place of worship, beats thousands spent on Greek island beaches. I'd rather scrub floors in the house of my God than be honored as a guest in the palace of sin. All sunshine and sovereign is God, generous in gifts and glory. He doesn't scrimp with his traveling companions. It's smooth sailing all the way with God-of-the-Angel-Armies.
I arise today
Through the strength of heaven:
Light of sun,
Radiance of moon,
Splendor of fire,
Speed of lightning,
Swiftness of wind,
Depth of sea,
Stability of earth,
Firmness of rock
I arise today Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity, Through the belief in the threeness, Through the confession of the oneness Of the Creator of Creation.
I arise today Through the strength of Christ's birth with his baptism, Through the strength of his crucifixion with his burial, Through the strength of his resurrection with his ascension, Through the strength of his descent for the Judgment Day. I arise today Through the strength of the love of Cherubim, In obedience of angels, In the service of archangels, In hope of resurrection to meet with reward, In prayers of patriarchs, In predictions of prophets, In preaching of apostles, In faith of confessors, In innocence of holy virgins, In deeds of righteous men. I arise today Through God's strength to pilot me: God's might to uphold me, God's wisdom to guide me, God's eye to look before me, God's ear to hear me, God's word to speak for me, God's hand to guard me, God'sway to lie before me, God's shield to protect me, God's host to save me From snares of demons, From temptations of vices, From everyone who shall wish me ill, Afar and anear, Alone and in multitude.
I summon today all these powers between me and those evils, Against every cruel merciless power that may oppose my body and soul, Against incantations of false prophets, Against black laws of pagandom Against false laws of heretics, Against craft of idolatry, Against spells of witches and smiths and wizards, Against every knowledge that corrupts man's body and soul. Christ to shield me today Against poison, against burning, Against drowning, against wounding, So that there may come to me abundance of reward. Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ on my right, Christ on my left, Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down, Christ when I arise, Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me, Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me, Christ in every eye that sees me, Christ in every ear that hears me.
I arise today Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity, Through belief in the threeness, Through confession of the oneness, Of the Creator of Creation.

because it means she is at home, not on the streets.

because it means I have enough to eat.

because it means I am out in the sunshine.
For a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning, and gutters that need fixing,
because it means I have a home.
For all the complaining I hear about the government,

Far be it from us that we should rebel against the Lord, and turn away this day from following the Lord. Joshua 22:29
Today's New Testament Verse
Let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds, not neglecting to meet together. Hebrews 10:24–25
Today's Prayer
Lord of my life, I want to follow you, but my sinful desires often invade my heart. Forgive me for my rebellious actions and attitudes. Keep me focused on you today, and help me to be sensitive to the needs of all your children. Guide me into loving activities that will be encouraging and supportive of others.
Divine Guide, our heart's desire is to love, serve, and follow you. Stir
us that we may gain a glimpse of understanding today. Speak to our
hearts and assure us of your love. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
You stood before creation
Eternity within Your hand
You spoke the earth into motion
My soul now to stand
You stood before my failure
Carried the Cross for my shame
My sin weighed upon Your shoulders
My soul now to stand
So what can I say
What can I do
But offer this heart O God
Completely to You
So I'll walk upon salvation
Your Spirit alive in me
This life to declare Your promise
My soul now to stand
So what can I say
What can I do
But offer this heart O God
Completely to You
So I’ll stand
With arms high and heart abandoned
In awe of the One who gave it all
So I’ll stand
My soul Lord to You surrendered
All I am is Yours

Revelation 12:14 (The Message)
13-17When the Dragon saw he'd been thrown to earth, he went after the Woman who had given birth to the Man-Child. The Woman was given wings of a great eagle to fly to a place in the desert to be kept in safety and comfort for a time and times and half a time, safe and sound from the Serpent. The Serpent vomited a river of water to swamp and drown her, but earth came to her help, swallowing the water the Dragon spewed from its mouth. Helpless with rage, the Dragon raged at the Woman, then went off to make war with the rest of her children, the children who keep God's commands and hold firm to the witness of Jesus.

Feel free to leave an message that you came over !
QUOTE from LYSA TERKEUST!!(from " A MESS") I'm convinced there's a reason the first four letters of Messiah spell mess. We need Him. Only the Messiah can take our mess and turn it into a untangled message of hope, forgiveness, and ultimately love.
