highway to holiness

We each are on a journey in this life as though traveling on a highway. Each one of our decisions direct us on this highway that ultimately leads us to our final destination, eternity. We need to choose wisely as each decision really does matter. Our most important decision is, what will we do with Jesus. Eternity, Eternity.....where will you spend eternity and what will you do with Jesus! Travel Wisely!

In Christ Alone.

Ultimately it's all about God and Eternity.  God instructs us to pick up our cross and follow Him.  He also said, in Him we live, move and have our being.  God is not to be an "add-on" to our life, He is to BE our life.  God gives us a new found wisdom and knowledge to live our life and it will displace our own agenda of living.  As we live for God we make decisions that the world may think is foolish, but we have one thing on our mind, to bring honor to our King. We realize that now we are servants of the Most High God, with Heaven as our Home, we are only travelers here on this earth for one reason, to bring Him glory.  Yes, it is truly a life of faith knowing that we haven't seen our destination yet, but also knowing that without Him we are empty and we have a promise that He will never leave us or forsake us, we don't travel this journey alone, in Christ alone we place our Trust.

As We Wait~

For those who are in a "midnight of the soul", in distress and brokenhearted, God offers rest.
Some are suffering in this world today, as Job suffered.  It may not have the same look, but the deep suffering and the continuous of pain is familiar to what Job experienced.  Along with this pain is a sense of great loss and sorrow that is misunderstood to this world, as others look on.  There is no point in trying to explain the feelings that lie within the soul as there are no words that can give expression to it, nor could it be understood by man.  This is when the heart of man cries out to God from deep within the Spirit.  It's an utterance from the Spirit that can't be understood by man, but the Spirit of God hears; and He is the only One that can bring comfort, hope and change to the sorrow and suffering that is crushing upon the heart and mind.  There are some things in this life that take us to the very limit of our self......but with God, we are able to rise above our circumstance and give praise to the Mighty Creator and Author of all things.  We wait upon God to come to our rescue.....and as we wait, we praise.

Gift of Hope~

What a season of celebration.....God gave the gift of hope to all mankind by sending His Son to Earth.  While we celebrate and enjoy giving gifts to each other, let's not overlook the Words of Christ to care for the orphan and the widow, take what we have and share it with the poor.  Feed the hungry and visit those in prison. Following the example of God by giving the gift of hope to all mankind.

Take Heart~

In this life you will have trouble, but take heart, I have overcome the world.
Miracles are waiting to be released into your life.  Good things are waiting for those that will put their faith in Me.  A healing and mending of the brokenness that lies within you, restoring those areas within you that man can't heal.  There are hurts that have caused a callous to surround your heart. I will turn your heart of stone into a heart of flesh; once again you will feel with the tenderness of a child's heart.  I know the pain you have endured and the suffering that lies within you. Yes, I am a God of compassion, but your suffering is not what moves My hand.  Faith in Me make the impossible, possible.

God is WITH us~

Emmanuel, God is WITH us.  And our God is FOR us.  What more could we need.  The enemy tries to discourage us with life situations, placing upon us a yoke of heaviness that we never were intended to carry.  As we take our eyes off our trouble and place them upon the Savior, we will sense the overflowing presence of God in our lives, knowing that He truly is with us. His eye is upon us, He has our name engraved upon His hand, He has the hairs of our head numbered. He sees us, He hears us, He knows every detail our our life and He loves us.  Consider Judas; Jesus knew that he was going to betray Jesus, and yet moments before He was betrayed, Jesus still referred to him as "friend".  God is ever for us and His Spirit is constantly encouraging us to look unto Him.  He is our "friend" and source of help and strength for the days we live in. Let's keep our eyes focused on Him.

CELEBRATE!

Enter into His presence with thanksgiving and His courts with praise.  He is a mighty God, and more than able to deliver us from all that weighs us down.  We're not victims in this dark and lonely world, we are more than conquerors for the pulling down of strongholds.  The work has already been done and we are the recipients of this great gift, the gift of the Savior.  He came not only as a babe; but as our redeemer, our deliverer, our rescuer, our healer, our great and mighty King.  He is able to do what no power of man can do, the impossible. He works outside of the natural and in the supernatural.  He's the One who makes an axe head swim and a donkey speak, outside of the natural....  He gives sight to the blind and parts the sea, He does the miraculous!  He is great and greatly to be praised.  Let's celebrate the One who makes all things possible, the One who does the impossible.  Let the celebration begin!!!!

Appointed Time~

This is the appointed time in which God is planning a great move of  His Spirit to a level that we have never experienced before, it truly will be completely unfamiliar to us. He is choosing this time as there is much darkness across the face of the earth.  His ways are much higher than our ways and He is pushing back the darkness with a sovereign move of His power, glory and might.  He works outside of the natural and works within the supernatural, He makes the axe head swim, and a donkey to speak, He raises the dead and shuts the mouth of the Lion.  The miraculous is what our God specializes in.  The unusual, is what He does. He works outside of our limitations and abilities.  This is why we need to lean heavy into the presence of God; because we are living in a time when we need miracles to happen in this place!
