Let His banner over me is Love(TSMSS and Spiritual Sunday)

This picture and vers on FB  Michelle De Rusha inspired me to  compile a blogpost and think about those powerful  vers!

He brought me to His banqueting table
(He brought me to His banqueting table)
He brought me to His banqueting table
(He brought me to His banqueting table)
And His banner
Over me
Is love
Is love

I am my beloved's and He is mine
(I am my beloved's and He is mine)
I am my beloved's and He is mine
(I am my beloved's and He is mine)
And His banner
Over me
Is love
Is love

And I can feel the love
Of God in this place
We believe Your Goodness
We recieve Your Grace
We delight ourselfs
At Your table, oh God
You do all things well
Just look at our lives

Moravian Daily Texts Tuesday, August 14 — Psalm 97:1-6 Joshua 21:9-45; Luke 17:11-19 Sing for joy, O heavens, and exult, O earth; break forth, O mountains, into singing! For the Lord has comforted his people, and will have compassion on his suffering ones. Isaiah 49:13 Paul wrote: I am confident about all of you, that my joy would be the joy of all of you. 2 Corinthians 2:3 It may not feel like Christmas outside, heavenly Father, but we remember with joy that you have given us the gift of salvation through your Son. We give you thanks and praise. Amen. Wednesday, August 15 — Psalm 97:7-12  Joshua 22; Luke 17:20-25  See, you shall call nations that you do not know, and nations that do not know you shall run to you, because of the Lord your God. Isaiah 55:5  Paul wrote: I came to you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling. My speech and my proclamation were not with plausible words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit and of power. 1 Corinthians 2:3-4  Heavenly Inspiration, we want to share your love with all the world, but we are just one person. Show us that whatever we do in your name, no matter how small, will help to bring your kingdom on earth. Amen. Here i am again "MY JOURNEY"readers I had this blog on my mind  lately....."What to do with it...." The name said it....The reason when i started 2 years ago was to share "My Journey"with all of you.....In my heart of hearts i knew God had a plan with my life and He was leading...I want Him to lead my life ,I put my mind on it to invite Him to give space to Him in my Life...... Than the Journey began with Him and you...........! Sharing bible verses that touched me that spoke to me where the very 1st blogs overhere..... Since my early teens i read "Moravian daily text verses" I grow up in this church tradition and as an adult my relationship with the lord grow more closely but i must say in the years i start blogging i came to know more sisters in Christ and start reading there blogs i got encouraged and inspired to digg deeper in Gods Word in my own spiritual Life....Not getting complacent with my Christian Life....... Our lives  go through seasons i see now.......I'm thinking in what season i am now....I feel stretching, growing, pruning.........I can't figure it out if i'm in "summer or autumn" I tend to say SUMMER...... Because i so vividly feel the WARMTH of the Lord His nearness through my days...There are days i get it so "hot" in His sight that i need to plea and ask why and the answers and thoughts are flowing in........I can drink WORDS of LIVING WATER and of PEACE,STRENGHT and ENCOURAGEMENT.... HIS WORD the bible comes to life in me in my Life and My Journey with Him is going on........ Yesterday marked 1 year i grow out of my Burn-out and or mental breakdown..... I can feel hear and see i'm Changed ,i'm STRONGER but also more SENSITIVE and VULNERABLE but most of all i experience the words from psalm 107:29 from the picture above from the picture above. "That the Lord stilled the storm to a whisper and the waves are hushed in my Life" Blessings to all of You! Summer 2012

Sunday's Comin'

Good SUNDAY MORNING

I don't know if this post will bring me back in "the swing of blogging". It's awhile i share my life with you my readers......
I'm online frequently but mostly to read or post a short note on FB or what i'm reading or doing etc....
To bring me to a point to make an blogpost like before seems to me like an uphill walk so to say.......Like i need to go for a walk or to the gym....LOL...
Indeed i'm exercising more lately but it feels the same to set my mind to it and DO IT!!
nd so i can go on with more things.....house chores........, reading my bible daily........
BUT i will get there.........I'm in the swing already to be able to make my job hours and gradually getting to do my tasks.....without feeling i want to run away or get irritated by my co-workers..........
My sleep and wake-up problems are solved i'm not grabbing to my medications already for 3 WEEKS.........THANKS to excersisings that are diminishing tension in my body........and BREATHING EXCERSISES.........Never stand still to watch my breathing before.............

Ad my homefront  PEACE is coming in and we are finding a NEW BALANCE.....All this happenened why we where on an waiting list for professional help to get the communication between us and the kids better.......
The help just comes in now i pray and hope this will not disturbs the new found balance and peace.....
A new goal for me is just how i worked on the excersising and getting a "work-stamina" and see the effect on my waking and sleeping.......My goal is now to train my bible reading again.....It was so discouraging to loose my concentration while reading.......But it looks like i can concentrate now also better........I notice it also while making now this blog.........
Hope you don't mind the simple outlook and the simple sentenses...(I 'm not standing still to long how to express myself in english. Before the english word and sentences came more smootly in my thoughts).........
Wanted to share a little what is going on and so  come back in touch with you all....
I want to end with the  "WatchWord for the week" i read this morning
Watchword for the Week - By grace you have been saved through faith, and
this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God. Ephesians 2:8 
And this is so true for me daily to remember.......and EVERY step i get closer to pick-up back my responsibilities i see as an GIFT from God........It's all HIS GRACE to keep me going believing and hoping....ALL in HIS pace and His timing!

Love you all have a great sunday and week!

You Won't Relent Song Lyrics | Jesus Culture Lyrics | Christian Music Song Lyrics, Christian Music | NewReleaseTuesday.com

You won't relent until you have it all
My heart is yours

I'll set You as a seal upon my heart
As a seal upon my arm
For there is love that is as strong as death
Jealousy demanding as the grave
Many waters cannot quench this love

Come be the fire inside of me
Come be the flame upon my heart
Come be the fire inside of me
Until You and I are one

1Peter 5 (NIRV)
⁵ Young men, follow the lead of those who are older. All of you, put on a spirit that is free of pride toward each other as if it were your clothes. Scripture says, 
   "God opposes those who are proud. 
      But he gives grace to those who are not." —(Proverbs 3:34) ⁶ So don't be proud. Put yourselves under God's mighty hand. Then he will honor you at the right time. ⁷ Turn all your worries over to him. He cares about you.
 ⁸ Control yourselves. Be on your guard. Your enemy the devil is like a roaring lion. He prowls around looking for someone to chew up and swallow. ⁹ Stand up to him. Stand firm in what you believe. All over the world you know that your brothers and sisters are going through the same kind of suffering.


Sharing this with you all.Not planning at all to listening to "LPM" devo this early morning but some weeks agoi posted the 1st online sharing on my FB and i was blessed and encouraged by it so this morning felt an nudge to see what came more lately.....Not knowing i will get some eye openers in the issues i´m struggling with.....I love how Beth can explain Gods word as an friend to friend and bring it to life and practical use......


Have an great monday and week to you all!

S.O.S ...."Unredeemed" - Selah

http://mazmagi.blogspot.com/2012/02/sos-light-of-word.html

The cruelest world

The coldest heart

The deepest wound

The endless dark

The lonely ache

The burning tears

The bitter nights

The wasted years

Life breaks and falls apart

But we know these are

Places where grace is soon to be so amazing

It may be unfulfilled

It may be unrestored

But when anything that’s shattered is laid before the lord

Just watch and see

It will not be unredeemed

For every choice that led to shame

And all the love that never came

For every vow that someone broke

And every lie that gave up hope

We live in the shadow of the fall

But the cross says these are all

Places where grace is soon to be so amazing

It may be unfulfilled

It may be unrestored

But when anything that’s shattered is laid before the lord

Just watch and see

It will not be unredeemed

Places where grace is soon to be so amazing

It may be unfulfilled

It may be unrestored

But you never know the miracle the father has in store

Just watch and see

It will not be

Just watch and see

It will not be unredeemed

It´s a month i did not post my readers. It was not planned but could not bring myself and my mind to blog. A lot of " cleaning-up" figuratively and literally is going on in my life and my family......... If there is an "mess" in our lives and spirit we need to do cleaning....deep cleanings and it can be a rough period...... Symptoms starting coming-up through the whole of last year but i didn´t get it or "my spirit was willing but my body was weak" It came to an climax and i got an mental breakdown.......I guess that is what it was......I´m still figuring it out with professionals and the lovedones surrounding me......But MOST of all i cling on the best healer, counselour and friend JESUS CHRIST and seek the will of God in my life and my family. I´m spurred a lot by the Holy Spirit to work hard on my prayer life to understand Gods Word and character better and to grow closer and closer to Him and grow my Faith. I need to humble myself more and more and ask for prayer for myself my husband and kids.So here i am sharing a little of my thoughts and what encourages me and inspired me as the song from "Selah" I just came accros this day reading from GOD AT EVENTIDE The Aching Spirit

Just as I said that those who hungered and thirsted after righteousness would be filled, so I say to you -- none ever longed to know Me better and remained unsatisfied. Even with your imperfect knowledge, you are daily realizing how true this is.  Man dwells so much on material things that he fails to grasp the Spiritual laws that never fail.  For all spirit-longing there is fulfillment.  I soothe the aching Spirit. You think I answer your prayer.  Yes, but the answer was there, awaiting the prayer. You will see these simple Truths more and more as you live with Me; truths hidden from the wise but revealed to the little ones of the Kingdom

Season Greetings from my home to yours on the 4th Sunday in Advent!

Fourth Sunday of Advent


Watchword for the Week - The Mighty One has done great things for me,
and holy is his name. Luke 1:49


2 Samuel 7:1-11,16; Luke 1:47-55 Romans 16:25-27;
Luke 1:26-38


Do not go after other gods to serve and worship them, and do not provoke
me to anger with the work of your hands. Jeremiah 25:6


Even though there may be so-called gods - for us there is one God, the
Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord,
Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.
1 Corinthians 8:5,6


One true God, we are on bended knee. We are not always deserving of your
wellspring of all that is good. Empower us to better serve your kingdom
here on earth and to be gracious stewards of all that you have entrusted
to us. Amen.

While shepherds watched their flocks by night

Shepherds Abiding in the Fields, by Carl Heinrich Bloch (1834-1890).jpg 

While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
All seated on the ground,
The angel of the Lord came down,
And glory shone around,
And glory shone around.

“Fear not!” said he, for mighty dread
Had seized their troubled mind.
“Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all mankind
To you and all mankind.

“To you, in David’s town, this day
Is born of David’s line
A Savior, who is Christ the Lord,
And this shall be the sign,
And this shall be the sign.

“The heavenly Babe you there shall find
To human view displayed,
All meanly wrapped in swathing bands,
And in a manger laid,
And in a manger laid.”

Thus spake the seraph and forthwith
Appeared a shining throng
Of angels praising God on high,
Who thus addressed their song,
Who thus addressed their song:

“All glory be to God on high,
And to the Earth be peace;
Good will henceforth from Heaven to men
Begin and never cease,
Begin and never cease!”

 The next Dutch song with a similar context is De Herdertjes lagen bij nachte

1.

De herdertjes lagen bij nachte

Zij lagen bij nacht in het veld

Zij hielden vol trouwe de wachte

Zij hadden hun schaapjes geteld

Daar hoorden zij 'd engelen zingen

Hun liederen vloeiend en klaar

De herders naar Bethlehem gingen

't liep tegen het nieuwe jaar

2.

Toen zij er te Bethlehem kwamen

Daar schoten drie stralen dooreen

Een straal van omhoog zij vernamen

Een straal op het kribje benee

Daar vlamd' er een straal uit hun ogen

En viel op het Kindeke teer

Zij stonden tot schreiens bewogen

En knielden bij Jesus neer

3.

Maria die bloosde van weelde

Van ootmoed en lieflijke vreugd

De goede Sint Jozef hij streelde

Het Kindje der mensen geneugt

De herders bevalen te weiden

Hun schaapkens aan d'engelenschaar

Wij kunnen van 't kribje niet scheiden

Wij wachten het nieuwe jaar (OF: En vonden het kindje daar)

4.

Ach kindje, ach kindje, dat heden

In 't nederig stalletje kwaamt

Ach, laat ons uw paden betreden

Want gij hebt de wereld beschaamd

Gij kwaamt om de wereld te winnen

De machtigste vijand te slaan

De kracht uwer liefde van binnen

Kan wereld noch hel weerstaan

Liturgy For Second Sunday of Advent (Second Week of Advent)

S.O.S ....Advent 1

Sunday, November 27 




First Sunday of Advent


Watchword for the Week - Then they will see 'the Son of Man coming in
clouds' with great power and glory. Mark 13:26


Isaiah 64:1-9; Psalm 80:1-7,17-19 1 Corinthians
1:3-9; Mark 13:24-37


You have seen how I bore you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself.
Exodus 19:4


You did not choose me but I chose you. John 15:16


Loving God, why have you chosen us? We are not worthy, yet you chose us.
So often we wander from you, yet you are always with us. You are in the
faces of our neighbors, enemies, and strangers. We cannot escape your
grace; help us surrender all that we are to you. Amen.

Hosea 6:3 KJV
Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD:
his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain,
as the latter and former rain unto the earth.

Promise #328: I will come to you as certainly as the sun rises and the spring rains fall.  

I like how the NIV Bible express Hosea 6:3...
Let us acknowledge the LORD; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth.” NIV

God is faithful. He is always faithful and we can count on Him in every situation. We don't have to give it a second thought. Today's promise encourages us that our God and Father will come to us as certain as the sun will rise in the morning. Even on days where the clouds cover the earth, His sun is still shining in the heavens. And when rain is needed, He showers His blessing upon the dry ground.

If you feel discouraged or disheartened today, if your circumstances are shouting loud that God is no where to be found, be encouraged! He is closer to you than you could possibly imagine. I pray that you will know that He is faithful and He will come to you as certain as the sun will rise in the morning.

Faith 2 Chronicles 16. 9....................

2 Chronicles 16:9 KJV

For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth,
to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.
Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.

Promise #322: I look throughout the earth to strengthen those who belong to Me. 

God is always watching us. His eyes are running to and fro throughout the entire to looking to strengthen those who belong to Him. He never abandons us or leaves us to our own devices. He is always there and an ever present help in our times of trouble. Even in the darkest times when you feel completely alone, you aren't. God is with you and His heart is to strengthen those who belong to Him.

In Hebrews 12:1-2, it says that we are to fix our eyes on Jesus and run the race marked out for us. Think about this for a moment... When we are fixing our eyes on Jesus, He is fixing His eyes on us! Amazing huh! May the tangible reality of feeling God's gaze become more and more real today so that we might find the strength we need to live today.
