BREATHE OF GOD............

Sitting here and calming down at the end of the day....
The thought came to me about the BREATHE OF GOD......

BREATHE gives......
LIFE......I remember the amazing moment i saw my son taking his first breathe......It was a memorable "waterbirth" and so different from his sisters"dry birth" so to speak.....It was so peaceful!
I saw him moving in the water "swimming" towards me and the moment he came above INHALES his first breathe......!!

Can i remember the 1st moment i felth the BREATH OF GOD on my life.....?
What happens every moment i ask that in prayer...........
Yes so much happens in that instant moment.........
Just like this butterfly.........FREEDOM starts coming in and the experience of a new found peace ( peace that passes all understanding)
In a way we began to FLY......we began to life just like a new born baby......
To picture GOD'S BREATHE like the wind beneath our wings ( is that not a song...??)
Look at how kids grow...the spread there wings more and more.....( God teaches me a lot when i look at my kids...)
Are we spreading our wings as children of God?
Do i feel God's breath under my wings....do i spread them and fly higher and higher ......

WE NEED GODS BREATHE....to life not to be spiritually dead!! Really when i feel depleted.......overwhelmed....like my wings are not moving..........the best to do than is to INHALE........THE BREATHE OF GOD!

Speak the life, that in Christ we know
Take me to your sancuary, breathe on me

Spiritual Sunday ~ I did not know my own strenght...........I look to YOU!! ~





As I lay me down,
heaven hear me now.
I'm lost without a cause
after giving it my all.

Winter storms have come
and darkened my sun.
After all that I've been through
Who on earth can I turn to?

[Refrain]
I look to you.
I look to you.
After all my strength is gone,
in you I can be strong
I look to you.
I look to you.
And when melodies are gone,
in you I hear a song.
I look to you.

About to lose my breathe,
there's no more fighting left,
Sinking to rise no more,
searching for that open door.

And every road that I've taken
lead to my regret.
And I don't know if I'm going to make it.
Nothing to do but lift my head

[Refrain]
I look to you.
I look to you.
After all my strength is gone,
in you I can be strong
I look to you.
I look to you.
And when melodies are gone,
in you I hear a song.
I look to you.

My levees are broken
My walls have come
tumbling down on me

The rain is falling.
Defeat is calling.
I need you to set me free.

Take me far away from the battle.
I need you.
Shine on me.

[Refrain]
I look to you.
I look to you.
After all my strength is gone,
in you I can be strong
I look to you.
I look to you.
And when melodies are gone,
in you I hear a song.
I look to you.


I'm rejoicing and praising God today when i followed the interviews and listen to the music of Whitney Housten.
I pray that she will stay and look up to Him from who all helps comes....,who restores...,who gives new changes.....And that she would used the gift He gaves to her to bring Him praise and honour Him with her life.
Be blessed Whitney!

Her biography
Latest interviews in which she tell about her struggles and how she cling to her faith and God!

St Patrick's Breastplate................

Link on the button to find more inspirational songs on this TSMSS

Yesterday i posted the St Patrick's prayer and went to look if there was a song about it!



This hymn is taken from two CDs Songs of the Faithful and Wake Up Call. Angelina travelled to the Hill of Slane in County Meath (Ireland) to film this beautiful song. She also went over to the very famous Grafton Street in Dublin. This video was shot in one day and the director was Manuel DeTeffe of Rome. Arrangement was by Shaun Davey, mechanical and synch license were obtained through HFA. Saint Patrick's Breastplate is an old Irish Christian hymn. It is generally assumed that Saint Patrick wrote the Old Irish lyrics during his Irish ministry in the 5th century. However there is a school of thought that it may have written in the 8th century.It is part of the Liber Hymnorum (Book of Hymns)- a collection of hymns found in two manuscripts kept in Dublin.
Cecil Frances Humphreys Alexander translated the hymn from old Irish into English.

WEDNESDAY PRAYER for OUR KIDS!

WEDNESDAY
Thank You, Father, for Your Word, which promises that WHATEVER I ask for in prayer,
believing, it IS granted to me. Therefore, I receive as my PRESENT POSSESSION the things,
which I am praying today over my children, being fully assured that as I am praying YOUR
WORD, I am praying YOUR WILL. (Mark 11:24; I John 5:14-15).

Thank You, Father, that as Your Word goes forth over my children, it is like FIRE consuming
ALL that cannot endure the test in their lives, and like a HAMMER that breaks in pieces the rock
of MOST STUBBORN RESISTANCE. (Jeremiah 23:29).

Thank You, Father, that as Your Word is going forth over my children, it is REVIVING them
and giving them LIFE. (Psalm 119:50).

Father, I declare that my children love Your law. They meditate upon Your Word day and night.
Through Your commandments, You make them to be WISER than their ENEMIES. Your
Words are EVER before them. (Psalm 119:97-98).

Thank You, Father, that You have circumcised my heart and the hearts of my children to LOVE
You with ALL our hearts and minds and with ALL our beings that we may LIVE. (Deuteronomy
30:9).

Father, I declare that I am like a mighty warrior, and my heart rejoices as through wine; yes, my
children see it and REJOICE; their hearts feel great delight and they glory triumphantly in You.
You hiss as the keeper does for his bees and GATHER THEM IN, for You have redeemed them.
(Zechariah 10:7-8).

Father, I declare that we, as parents, tend, nurture, guard, guide and fold our children; NOT BY
COERCION or CONSTRAINT, but WILLINGLY; not dishonorably motivated by the
advantages belonging to our office as parents, but EAGERLY and CHEERFULLY. NOT as
ARROGANT, DICTATORIAL and OVERBEARING persons, domineering over our children,
but being EXAMPLES, PATTERNS and MODELS of Christian living to them. (I Peter 5:2-3).

Thank You, Father, that You are making my family to INCREASE, EXCEL and OVERFLOW in
LOVE for one another and for ALL people. Therefore, You are strengthening, confirming and
establishing our hearts faultlessly pure and unblamable in holiness in Your sight. (I
Thessalonians 3:12-13).

Father, I declare that my children do ALL things without grumbling, faultfinding and
complaining against You. They do NOT question or doubt among themselves. Therefore, they
are showing themselves to be blameless, guileless, innocent and uncontaminated children of God
without blemish, faultless and unrebukable, in the midst of a crooked and wicked generation.
Therefore, I am REJOICING that I have NOT run my RACE in VAIN, and I have NOT spent my
LABOR as a parent to NO PURPOSE. (Philippians 2:15-16).

Father, I declare that my children are Your own handiwork (Your workmanship, recreated in
Christ Jesus, that they may DO those good works which You PREDESTINED and PLANNED
BEFOREHAND for them, taking paths which You prepared AHEAD of TIME that THEY
SHOULD WALK IN THEM, living the good life which You prearranged and made ready for
them to live. (Ephesians 2:10).

Thank You, Father, that Your gifts and callings upon my children's lives are IRREVOCABLE—
without repentance or regret—You NEVER withdraw them once they are given and You do
NOT change Your mind about those to whom You give Your grace or to whom You send Your
call. Because You are imparting this revelation to my children, they are ALL THE MORE
solicitous and eager to MAKE SURE and STRENGTHEN their calling and election. Therefore,
they will NEVER stumble or fall. (Romans 11:29; II Peter 1:10).

Father, I declare that my children offer themselves WILLINGLY in the day of Your power, in the
beauty of HOLINESS and in holy array out of the womb of the morning. They do not merely
walk, but RUN the way of Your commandments, for You have given them a heart that is
WILLING. Because they heed instruction and correction, THEY are not only IN the way of life,
but they ARE a way of life for OTHERS. (Psalm 110:3; Psalm 119:32; Proverbs 10:17).

Father, I declare that my children hunger and thirst after righteousness; and therefore, they are
COMPLETELY SATISFIED. (Matthew 5:6).

Father, I declare that my children earnestly desire and zealously cultivate the gifts of the Holy
Spirit. Their gifts are making room for them and bringing them before great men. They are
stirring up, rekindling the embers, fanning the flames and keeping aglow Your gifts (the inner
fire) that are in them by means of the laying on of hands. Because I am a temple of the Holy
Spirit, I believe that every time my hands touch my children, they are YOUR hands reaching out
to them imparting power, anointing and life into their inner man. (I Corinthians 12:31; Proverbs
18:16; II Timothy 1:6).

Father, I declare that my sons are as plants grown large IN THEIR YOUTH, and my daughters
are as sculptured corner pillars hewn like those of a palace. They are YOUTHS without blemish,
well-favored in appearance and skillful in all wisdom, discernment and understanding, apt in
learning knowledge, and competent to stand before and serve kings. (Psalm 144:12; Daniel 1:4).

Father, I declare that my sons treat older women like mothers and younger women like sisters in
ALL PURITY. My daughters adorn themselves modestly, appropriately and sensibly in seemly
apparel. They do not merely let their adorning be external, but they let it be the inward adorning
and beauty of the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible and unfading charm of a
GENTLE and PEACEFUL spirit, which is not anxious or wrought up, but is very precious in
Your sight. (I Timothy 2:9; I Peter 3:3-4; I Timothy 5:2).

Thank You, Father, that Your Spirit is upon my sons and daughters. You have anointed them to
preach the gospel to the poor. You have sent them to bind up and heal the brokenhearted, to
proclaim liberty to the captives, and to open prison doors and the eyes of those who are bound; to
proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord; to comfort all who mourn; to grant consolation and joy
to those who mourn by giving them an ornament of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy for
mourning, and the garment of praise instead of a heavy, burdened and failing spirit. Therefore, I
declare that they are called OAKS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS—Your planting—that YOU may be
glorified. They are rebuilding the ancient ruins, raising up the former desolations and renewing
the ruined cities and devastations of many generations. They are called the priests of the Lord.
People speak of them as Your ministers. They are eating the wealth of nations. They are
RADIANT with YOUR GLORY. Nations are coming to their light, and kings to the brightness
of their rising. (Isaiah 61:1-4,6; Isaiah 60:1,3).

Father, I declare that like David, my children are serving Your will, purpose and counsel in their
own generation. Like David, my children are men and women after Your own heart, who are
doing ALL Your will and carrying out Your program FULLY. (Acts 13:36; Acts 13:22).

Father, I declare that my children DO NOT unequally yoke themselves up with unbelievers.
They DO NOT make mismated alliances with them or come under a different yoke with those
whose lives are inconsistent with their faith. (II Corinthians 6:14).

Thank You, Father, that You are instructing my children and teaching them in the way that they
should go. You are counseling them with Your eye upon them. You are certainly delivering and
drawing them unto Yourself from EVERY assault of evil. You are preserving and bringing them
SAFE unto Your heavenly kingdom. (Psalm 32:8; II Timothy 4:18).

Father, I declare that my children shall grow old in grace. They shall still bring forth fruit in old
age; they shall be full of sap and spiritual vitality and rich in the verdure of trust, love and
contentment. They will be living memorials to show that You are upright and faithful to Your
promises. (Psalm 92:14-15).

We will serve the Lord
We will serve the Lord
In this day and forever

Jesus. He's the centerpiece of everything we believe, faithful in everything God gave him to do



Share my today's readings who went straight to my heart and mind to LISTEN-BELIEVE- FEAR- REPENT and PRAISE GOD !!

Psalm 107 10-16 Some of you were locked in a dark cell, cruelly confined behind bars, Punished for defying God's Word, for turning your back on the High God's counsel— A hard sentence, and your hearts so heavy, and not a soul in sight to help. Then you called out to God in your desperate condition; he got you out in the nick of time. He led you out of your dark, dark cell, broke open the jail and led you out. So thank God for his marvelous love, for his miracle mercy to the children he loves; He shattered the heavy jailhouse doors, he snapped the prison bars like matchsticks!

Hebrews 3

The Centerpiece of All We Believe
1-6So, my dear Christian friends, companions in following this call to the heights, take a good hard look at Jesus. He's the centerpiece of everything we believe, faithful in everything God gave him to do. Moses was also faithful, but Jesus gets far more honor. A builder is more valuable than a building any day. Every house has a builder, but the Builder behind them all is God. Moses did a good job in God's house, but it was all servant work, getting things ready for what was to come. Christ as Son is in charge of the house.

6-11Now, if we can only keep a firm grip on this bold confidence, we're the house! That's why the Holy Spirit says,

Today, please listen;
don't turn a deaf ear as in "the bitter uprising,"
that time of wilderness testing!
Even though they watched me at work for forty years,
your ancestors refused to let me do it my way;
over and over they tried my patience.
And I was provoked, oh, so provoked!
I said, "They'll never keep their minds on God;
they refuse to walk down my road."
Exasperated, I vowed,
"They'll never get where they're going, never be able to sit down and rest."

12-14So watch your step, friends. Make sure there's no evil unbelief lying around that will trip you up and throw you off course, diverting you from the living God. For as long as it's still God's Today, keep each other on your toes so sin doesn't slow down your reflexes. If we can only keep our grip on the sure thing we started out with, we're in this with Christ for the long haul.

These words keep ringing in our ears:

Today, please listen;
don't turn a deaf ear as in the bitter uprising.
15-19For who were the people who turned a deaf ear? Weren't they the very ones Moses led out of Egypt? And who was God provoked with for forty years? Wasn't it those who turned a deaf ear and ended up corpses in the wilderness? And when he swore that they'd never get where they were going, wasn't he talking to the ones who turned a deaf ear?
They never got there because they never listened, never believed.

Tuesday, September 15 Psalm 107:10-16 Jeremiah 48:26-49:16; Hebrews 3:1-15 You shall have no other gods besides me. Exodus 20:3 Whatever gains I had, these I have come to regard as loss because of Christ. More than that, I regard everything as loss because of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. Philippians 3:7-8 Christ Jesus, how can we look at you upon the cross and worship worldly idols? How can we put our own desires ahead of the desires you have for us? How can we live this life with any integrity, knowing what you have done for us, unless we surrender all to you in loving thanks? Reveal these answers to us, we humbly pray. Amen.

TUESDAY PRAYER FOR OUR KIDS!

TUESDAY

Thank You, Father, for the confidence, assurance and privilege of boldness, which I have in You.
I am SURE that if I ask ANYTHING or make ANY request according to Your will (which is
YOUR WORD), You listen to and hear me. And, since I POSITIVELY KNOW that You listen
to me in whatever I ask, (according to YOUR WORD), I also know with SETTLED and
ABSOLUTE KNOWLEDGE that I have granted to me as my PRESENT POSSESSIONS the
requests made of You regarding my children today. (I John 5:14-15).

Thank You, Father, that You have promised that as I pray Your Word over my children, I shall
see the fruit of the travail of my soul and be satisfied. (Isaiah 53:11).

Thank You, Father, that as YOUR WORD goes forth over my children, they are LETTING it
have its home in their hearts and minds and dwell in them in all its richness, as they teach,
admonish and train one another in all insight, intelligence and wisdom in spiritual things. They
sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs, making melody to You with Your grace in their hearts.
WHATEVER they do, no matter WHAT it is, in WORD or in DEED, they do EVERYTHING in
the Name of the Lord Jesus and in dependence upon His person, giving You praise through Him.
(Colossians 3:16-17).

Father, I declare that my offspring possesses the nations. They are as mighty arrows in the hand
of a warrior, to launch into the nations to bring in the Kingdom, and to launch into the camp of
the enemy to bring great deliverance and victory for Your people. (Isaiah 54:3; Psalm 127:4).

Thank You, Father, that the only work which You require of me as a parent is to believe in Your
Son, Jesus. Therefore, I claim Your promise that MY WORK SHALL BE REWARDED. By
faith I declare that my children are returning from the enemy's land. There is HOPE in my future.
My children are coming again to their own country. (John 6:28-29; Jeremiah 31:16-17).

Father, I declare that my children HEAR the instruction of their father, and they DO NOT reject
or forsake the teaching of their mother. When they go, the WORD of their parents' God is
leading them. When they sleep, it is keeping them; when they waken, it is talking with them.
(Proverbs 1:8; 6:22).

Father, I declare that we dwell in a peaceable habitation, in a safe dwelling and in a quiet resting
place. (Isaiah 32:18).

Father, I declare that my family lets no foul language, nor evil word, nor unwholesome talk ever
come out of our mouths; but only such speech as is good and beneficial to the spiritual progress
of others, as is fitting to the need and the occasion, that it may be a blessing and give grace to
those who hear it. We do not grieve the Holy Spirit by Whom we were sealed. We let ALL
bitterness, wrath, passion, rage, bad temper, resentment, anger, animosity, quarreling, brawling,
clamor, contention, slander, evil-speaking, abusive or blasphemous language be banished from
us, with all malice, spite, ill will or baseness of any kind. And we have become useful, helpful
and kind to one another; tenderhearted, compassionate, understanding, forgiving one another
readily and freely as You in Christ forgave us, in order that Satan get NO advantage over us; for
we are NOT ignorant of his wiles and intentions. (Ephesians 4:29-32; II Corinthians 2:11).

Thank You, Father, that before You formed my children in the womb, You KNEW and
APPROVED of them as Your chosen instruments, and before they were born, You separated and
set them apart, consecrating them, and You appointed them to their specific callings and destinies
in You. You have delivered and saved them, and have called them with a calling in itself holy
and leading to holiness. (Jeremiah 1:5; II Timothy 1:9).

Thank You, Father, that You have given my children the tongues of disciples and of those who
are taught. Therefore, they know how to speak a word in season to him who is weary. You
waken them morning by morning. You waken their ears to HEAR as disciples—as those who
are taught. You, Lord, have opened their ears, and they have NOT been REBELLIOUS or
TURNED BACKWARD. (Isaiah 50:4-5).

Thank You, Father, that YOU are effectually at work WITHIN my children ENERGIZING and
CREATING in them both the POWER and the DESIRE to WILL and to WORK for Your good
pleasure, satisfaction and delight. Therefore, they are violently seizing the kingdom of God by
force as a precious prize. They are seeking for a share in Your kingdom with most ardent zeal
and intense exertion. (Philippians 2:13; Matthew 11:12).

Thank You, Father, that Your Spirit rests upon my children; the spirit of WISDOM and
UNDERSTANDING, the spirit of COUNSEL and MIGHT, the spirit of KNOWLEDGE and the
reverential and obedient FEAR OF THE LORD. You are making them of quick understanding,
and their DELIGHT is in the reverential and OBEDIENT FEAR of the Lord. They do NOT
judge by the sight of their eyes, neither do they decide by the hearing of their ears, but they judge
with righteous judgment. (Isaiah 11:2-4).

Father, I declare that my children KNOW You as their God; and therefore, they prove themselves
STRONG and STAND FIRM and DO EXPLOITS for You. (Daniel 11:32).

Father, I declare that in JESUS and in EVERY RESPECT, my children are enriched, in FULL
POWER and READINESS of SPEECH, to speak of their faith, and complete knowledge and
illumination to give them full insight into the meaning of YOUR WORD. Their speech is
ALWAYS gracious, pleasant and winsome, seasoned with salt. They are NEVER at a loss to
know how they ought to answer anyone who puts a question to them. (I Corinthians 1:5;
Colossians 4:6).

Father, I declare that NO ONE despises or thinks less of my children because of their YOUTH;
but IN THEIR YOUTH, they are an EXAMPLE and PATTERN for the believers in SPEECH, in
CONDUCT, in LOVE, in FAITH and in PURITY. They do NOT neglect the gift, which is in
them. (I Timothy 4:12,14).

Father, I declare that my children's LOVE is abounding yet more and more and extending to its
fullest development in knowledge and all keen insight. Their love is displaying itself in greater
depth of acquaintance and more comprehensive discernment; so that they are surely learning to
sense what is VITAL and approve and prize what is EXCELLENT and of REAL VALUE,
recognizing the HIGHEST and the BEST and distinguishing the moral differences. They test and
prove ALL things UNTIL they can recognize what is GOOD, and to THAT they HOLD FAST.
Therefore, they are untainted, pure, unerring and blameless. Their hearts are sincere, certain and
unsullied. They are approaching the Day of Christ, NOT STUMBLING nor causing OTHERS to
STUMBLE. They are ABOUNDING IN and BEING FILLED with the fruits of righteousness.
Your glory is being both manifested and recognized in them.(Philippians 1:9-11; I
Thessalonians 5:21).


Father, I declare that my children keep themselves from idols and false gods—from ANYTHING
and EVERYTHING that would occupy the place in their hearts due to YOU. They keep
themselves from ANY SORT of SUBSTITUTE for You that would take first place in their lives.
(I John 5:21).

Thank You, Father, that You are clearing my children from hidden and unconscious faults. You
are making the words of their mouths and the meditation of their hearts to be acceptable in Your
sight. (Psalm 19:12,14).

Father, I declare that my children are coming out from among unbelievers and separating and
severing themselves from them. They touch not any unclean thing. Therefore, You receive them
kindly and treat them with favor, and You are a Father to them and they are Your sons and
daughters. (II Corinthians 6:17-18).

Thank You, Father, that You are delivering my children from the snare of the fowler, and from
the deadly pestilence. You are covering them with Your pinions, and under Your wings they are
trusting and finding refuge. (Psalm 91:3-4a).

Father, I declare that my children shall NOT DIE, but LIVE, and declare Your works and
illustrious acts. (Psalm 118:17).

I was planning to write blogposts about my reading experiences but i find it difficult to translate from my dutch version.....to english on the blog....
But what i love about the prayers is that all are SCRIPTURAL PRAYERS! I believe that that is the clue to bring POWER in our prayers.......Because God says it in His Word that what He speaks( says) will never turn back void to Him! So when we speak out those scriptures out over our children. Gods power will began to work in their lives and we will see the fruits of His Spirit eventually and bondages will be broken and an hedge of protection comes over them......

I googled this evening scriptural prayers in english and stumble on the website INTERCESSORS FOR A RIGHTEOUS NATION .They divide the prayers for everyday of the week
Tonight i will post the prayer for MONDAY.......I don't know if i will post for every day but you can look it also up. I know that reading them out loud and hear it is so powerful and inspiring to speak them over the preciouse gifts received by God .......

MONDAY

Thank You, Father, that as I speak Your Word over my children today, Your angelic warriors are
hearkening to the sound of my voice to perform that which I speak. (Psalm 103:20).

Thank You, Father, that You have put Your words in my mouth, and You are alert and active,
watching over Your Word to PERFORM it. (Jeremiah 1:9, 12).

Thank You, Father, that as I speak Your Word over my children, it is cleansing and pruning
them; and as a result, they are bearing fruit of more excellent quality and greater quantity. (John
15:2-3).


Thank You, Father, that the words of wisdom which You give me to speak over my children are
as prodding goads (urging them to ACTION), firmly fixed in their minds like nails. (Ecclesiastes
12:11).


Father, I declare that ALL of my children are disciples, taught of You and OBEDIENT to YOUR
WILL; GREAT is their PEACE and UNDISTURBED COMPOSURE. They are establishing
themselves on righteousness. They are far even from the THOUGHT of OPPRESSION or
DESTRUCTION. They DO NOT FEAR. They are far from terror, for it does NOT come near
them. He who stirs up strife against them is failing away TO them. NO weapon that is formed
against them is prospering. EVERY tongue that rises against them in judgment they are showing
to be in the wrong. (Isaiah 54:13-15,17).

Father, I declare that because of our faith, our children are prepared for You, PURE and CLEAN.
You are blotting out their transgressions for Your own sake, and You DO NOT remember their
sins. (I Corinthians 7:14; Isaiah 43:25).

Father, I declare that I am, a JOYFUL MOTHER of children, and because (my
husband fears, I fear) You, (I am, he is) like a fruitful vine in the innermost parts of (his, my)
house and (his, my) children are like olive plants round about (his, my) table, and (he, I) shall see
(his, my) children's children. (Psalm 113:9; Psalm 128:3-4).

Thank You, Father, that You are changing my family's impure language and giving to us a clear
and pure speech from pure lips; therefore, we are ALL calling upon Your Name, serving You
with ONE UNANIMOUS CONSENT and ONE UNITED SHOULDER, bearing the yoke of the
Lord. As for ME and MY house, we ARE serving YOU, Lord. (Zephaniah 3:9; Joshua 24:15).

Thank You. Father, that my children are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation;
Your own purchased, special people. Therefore, I decree that they are setting forth Your
wonderful deeds and displaying Your virtues and perfections, for You have called them out of
darkness into Your marvelous light. Because they are precious and honored in Your sight, and
You LOVE them, You are giving men in return for them and peoples in exchange for their lives.
(I Peter 2:9; Isaiah 43:4).

Thank You, Father, that You CHOSE and formed FOR YOURSELF my children that they might
set forth Your praise, and THEY SHALL DO IT. (Isaiah 43:20-21).

Thank You, Father, that YOU, the God of Peace, are strengthening, completing, perfecting and
making my children what they ought to be. YOU are equipping them with everything good that
they may CARRY OUT YOUR WILL; while YOU Yourself work IN them and accomplish that
which is pleasing in Your sight. (Hebrews 13:20-21).

Father, I declare that my children walk at liberty and at ease because they have sought, inquired
for and desperately required Your precepts. (Psalm 119:45).

Father, I declare that my children are being filled with the full, deep and clear knowledge of Your
will, in all spiritual wisdom and comprehensive insight into Your ways and purposes; and in
understanding and discernment of spiritual things. They are walking, living and conducting
themselves in a manner worthy of You, fully pleasing to You and DESIRING to please You in
ALL things. They are bearing fruit in EVERY good work, and steadily growing and increasing
in and by the knowledge of You. They are being invigorated and strengthened with all power
according to the might of Your glory, and exercising every kind of endurance and patience WITH
JOY. (Colossians 1:9-11).

Thank You, Father, that You are granting out of the rich treasury of Your glory, that my children
be strengthened and reinforced with mighty power in their inner man by the Holy Spirit
indwelling their innermost beings and personalities. Christ, through their faith, is making his
permanent home in their hearts. They are being rooted deep in love and founded securely on
love; therefore, they have the power and are strong to apprehend and grasp with all the saints, the
EXPERIENCE of that love, what is the breadth and length and height and depth of it. They are
really coming to KNOW, practically, THROUGH EXPERIENCE for THEMSELVES, the love
of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge without experience. As a result, they are being
filled through all their beings unto all Your fullness. They have the richest measure of Your
Divine Presence, and have become wholly filled and flooded with You. (Ephesians 3:16-19).

Father, I declare that my children NEVER lag in zeal and earnest endeavor. They are aglow and
burning with the Spirit, serving You. (Romans 12:11).

Thank You, Father, that my children earnestly remember YOU, their Creator—that they are not
their own—but YOUR property—NOW—in the days of their YOUTH. They no longer live to
and for THEMSELVES, but to and for Your Son, JESUS, Who died and was raised again for
their sakes. They roll their works upon You, Father. They commit and trust them wholly to You.
YOU ARE CAUSING THEIR THOUGHTS TO BECOME AGREEABLE TO YOUR WILL.
Therefore, their plans are being established and succeeding. (Ecclesiastes 12:1; II Corinthians
5:15; Proverbs 16:3).


Father, I declare that my children are consecrated, separated and set apart for PURE and HOLY
LIVING. They abstain and shrink from ALL sexual vice. They each know how to possess,
control and manage their own bodies in PURITY, separated from things profane and in
consecration and honor. Their bodies are NOT used in the passion of lust. (I Thessalonians
4:3-5).


Thank You, Father, that You have NOT given my children a spirit FEAR, but of power,
authority, love, a calm, well-balanced mind, discipline and self-control. They DO NOT BLUSH
nor are they ASHAMED to testify for You. (II Timothy 1:7-8).

Father, I declare that my children set NO base or wicked thing before their eyes. They HATE the
work of them who turn aside from the right path. IT SHALL NOT GRASP HOLD OF THEM.
A perverse heart has departed from them. They know NO evil person or thing. (Psalm 101:3-4).

Father, I declare that my children DO NOT forget Your law, but they LET their hearts keep Your
commandments; therefore, LENGTH OF DAYS, and years of a life worth living, and tranquility
—inward and outward—and continuing through old age till death, are added to them. They are
FULL of mercy and kindness, shutting out ALL hatred and selfishness. They are FULL of truth,
shutting out ALL deliberate hypocrisy and falsehood. Because they bind Your laws about their
necks and write them upon the tablets of their hearts, they have found favor, good understanding
and high esteem in Your sight, and in the sight of man. They lean on, trust and are confident in
You with ALL their hearts and minds, and they DO NOT rely on their own insight or
understanding. In ALL their ways, they know, recognize and acknowledge You, and You are
directing and making straight and plain their paths. They are NOT wise in their own eyes, but
they reverently fear and worship You, and turn ENTIRELY away from evil. (Proverbs 3:1-7).

Thank You, Father, that Your TRUTH and FAITHFULNESS are a shield and buckler to my
children. They are NOT afraid of the terror of the night, nor of the arrow (the evil plots of the
wicked) that flies by day, nor of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor of the destruction and
sudden death that surprise and lay waste at noonday. A thousand may fall at their side, and ten
thousand at their right hand, BUT IT SHALL NOT COME NEAR THEM. (Psalm 91:4b-7).

The Tongue.........~ OUR WORDS ~


“The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit” Proverbs 18:21 (NIV). “With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters [and girlfriends] this should not be” (James 3:9-10 TNIV). A careless word may kindle strife; A cruel word may wreck a life. A bitter word may hate instill; A brutal word may smite and kill. A gracious word may smooth the way; A joyous word may light the day. A timely word may lessen stress; A loving word may heal and bless. (Author Unknown) I study and meditate this morning on those questions A word has been described as the smallest unit of meaningful linguistic communication. But that little tiny entity has great potential.

Read James 3:2-6 and answer the following questions.

How is the tongue like the rudder of a ship?

Who is the ship? (There is not necessarily a right answer.)

On any given day, there are many travelers on our ship (our families and friends) or people we pass on the waterways of life. How do our words carry people along the same route we are traveling? How do our words maneuver or bump into those that are passing by?

Read the following verses and fill in the blanks:

Genesis 1:3 And _______ _______, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

Hebrews 11:3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed ___ _________ ______________so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.

Psalm 33:6 By the ______________________ were the heavens made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth.

What did you discover about the power of God’s words?

Now, on a similar note, what can you surmise about the power of your own words?

Throughout the day, ask yourself this question: Did my words build up or tear down?

Then Sings My Soul Saturdays.~ STAND ON THE ROCK ~


Stand on The Rock

Words and music: Keith Lancaster © 1993 Anthony K. Music (ASCAP)
Duane Adams also sang 1st Tenor on this song.
This song also appeared on Set Me Free by Acappella.
Lead: Duane Adams

Lyrics:

Chorus:
Stand on the rock
Movin' a mountain
With faith even small as a seed
And there on the rock
His love like a fountain
Giving me all that I ever will need

Pain - I have experienced pain
Too many hurts in my life
Were bringing terrible strife
I have experienced pain
But Jesus is my refuge
And I know He's paid His dues
So now I have a savior who has
Walked within my shoes (he has walked within my shoes)

Repeat Chorus

Love - Have you experienced love?
Too many people will hate
Reaping a terrible fate
They won't experience love
But Jesus is my anchor
He's defining what is love
I'm happy that He's teaching me and
taking me above

Repeat Chorus

When you step out on the sinking sand
Putting your faith in mortal man
Life has no direction, life will see no gain
Lacking love and helpless on your
own you will remain

But when you trust in Jesus Christ
Who is the Author of true life
He's the door to go through, all you do is knock
He'll be there to guide you when
You're standing on the rock

Repeat Chorus 2x

Scriptural Reference:

"Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord, is the Rock eternal." Isaiah 26:4
"He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." Matthew 17:20

"Trust in Him at all times, O people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us." Psalm 62:8 (NAS)

The thunder and lightning of a powerful storm rattled our house last night. As rain slashed against the windows and lightning lit up the dark sky, I woke up just long enough to make room for my youngest son and yellow lab to join me and my husband in bed. I remember thinking with surprise that I didn't even know it was going to storm.

What a picture of my life lately. It's been a year of unexpected rain. Some just drizzles, but others, like the storm hitting me most recently, have rattled windows with wave after wave of thunder and bursts of lightning.

What about you? Is there stormy weather in your life right now? Where are you finding shelter from the storms?

My friends and family have been a shelter for me this year, just like my family was last night as we all huddled together in bed. They've encouraged and supported me. And most importantly, they've pointed me to the strongest shelter from the storms, my Heavenly Father.

As I've turned to Scripture this week, I'm amazed at the number of times it reminds us God is our shelter. God knows that we will encounter hard times and His Word reminds us that the strongest and safest shelter is God Himself.

As always we have a choice: get drenched in the rain or seek shelter. You see, the storms of life can cause us to run toward God, but just as easily they can cause us to turn away. A whole range of emotions can leave us standing in the rain to get drenched: bitterness, anger, confusion, helplessness, or hopelessness. If you can relate to these emotions, you might feel badly for having these emotions, but don't let these feelings keep you from God.

Read the Psalms and you'll see that God can handle every emotion. Negative emotions are not a reason to turn away from God. They're the very reason to turn to Him, desperately wanting the kind of faith and strength only God can provide.

Keep turning to God, continue to tell Him in prayer how you feel, and leave your emotions with Him. As you do, you'll start to feel His nearness, His hope, His promise, and His comfort. If you find yourself returning to feelings of fear or hopelessness, just go back to God. Be honest in your prayers. Acknowledge that you're having a hard time, but that you want to trust Him in your circumstances. Know that He loves you and will consistently and constantly be your shelter from the storms.

Dear Lord, "Hear my cry, O God; give heed to my prayer. From the end of the earth I call to You when my heart is faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For You have been a refuge for me, a tower of strength against the enemy. Let me dwell in Your tent forever; let me take refuge in the shelter of Your wings" (Psalm 61:1-4, NAS). In Jesus' Name, Amen.

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.
