For every mountain climbed...I give You Praise

Have you ever looked at the muscles of a rock climber and actually views them in action? have you ever seen them land their foot a little wrong and they slip but with all the physical strength as well as will power they pull themselves to the next level until they have reached their goal?

God in the midst of this scenario is our physical strength. He is that will power that encourages us to go above and beyond that particular situation that we think has paralyzed us. That situation could be that boyfriend, that girlfriend, that friendship, that job, that attitude, your parents, that school, that marriage problem, that marriage itself, those church folk, alot of things but in spite of it all we have a cheerleader that practically declares our victory against our vices.

It states in Romans 11 verse 29:
"...for God's gifts and his call are irrevocable"

so take these gifts that he has given you to conquer your vices and claim your victory. Don't let anyone or anything take you away from God. Don't be that rock climber who settles for less than the success of overcoming that mountain. The mountain is just another obstacle that you've come against don't let it rule your life. For it speaks in Matthew the seventeenth chapter: "He replied, 'Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith of a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."

so what is impossible through faith? a woman had come to Jesus about her child who was demon possessed and it was a smart response against her vice of doubt in which God granted her request of healing. " The woman came and knelt beform him. 'Lord, help me!' she said. He replied,' It is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to their dogs.' Yes, Lord,' she said, 'but eveb the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from the master's table."-Matthew 15:25-27

even in the most complicated situations God can change the circumstances...but you have to have the will and the strength to want to move on in faith. Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. so just like that rock climber losing balance we have to be sure about our next step and certain we will make it.


"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."- Romans 15:13

Prayer Intercession

God, You are the maker of heaven and earth, the founder of all that is and was. You are the King who rules supreme in the heart, You know the contents thereof. You are the discerner of situations at hand and You give out fair judgement even though sometimes we don't understand but God I praise you because it is with these judgements that we are kept firm and we are kept solid. It is with this foundation that we don't complain because all we can say at the end of the day Lord is yes and amen. God you are the ruler of my hearts' content and i pray that you may remove the cobwebs of doubt, the dust of lust, the trails of hate, the scent of wickedness. I pray that you may restore my heart's content to your appeal. God renew in me a clean heart, and create in me a steadfast spirit(Ps. 51.10) Do not cast me away from your presence ,Oh God. Without You I am nothing, with you I overcome the world and the contents thereof. God I come to you asking and pleading for forgiveness. Forgiveness is an attribute of the strong,God you are strong for Your strength is you grace and your mercy you allow daily even though we don't deserve it God. You plead the sinner's case because of the blood. Your son's blood which was shed on Calvary. Your grace is sufficient and your strength is made perfect through our weaknesses. God there are somethings that you are willing to hear and are willing to pardon only if we confess our sins you are faithful and just to forgive us our sins through Christ Jesus. So Lord i confess my wrongs, my fornication, my adulterous behavior, my foul language, my attitude, everything that is not of your Spirit. I pray that i may be forgiven and pardoned for my wrongs. God help me to get close to you and allowing myself to let go of what is negative and what im fearful of. God I claim my blessings before your throne. I claim all that is rightfully mine. God but there's more. God i come petitioning on behalf of a few friends of mine as well as those that i love dearly. God i lift up before you Lameek, I pray that you may bless all that he does Lord. Bless his head as he lays to sleep, bless the fibers of his being that you've allowed life into Lord God. God I pray that you may bless his family Lord God, give his mother grace and mercy to follow her all the days through Lord. God breathe a breath of inspiration to be in the midst of his sisters and brother. God I pray that you may bless his grandmother, Ruby Logan Lord God. I pray a new song may be upon her heart and joy may be restored in her smile. Lord I pray that you may speak to his heart in ways i cannot. Speak volumes of refreshing sound. Speak an oasis into his life. God I pray that you may show him a great amount of love that even i can't compare to. God you are Love. Love in the very essense of the word. Love is patient, it is kind, it does not envy nor does it boast it is not proud. God Love is you. i lift up Antonio Lord God, i pray that his family is being restored and that his relationships with friends and or foes are being restored Lord. Restore his innocence and his identity in You Lord. I pray that you may bless his mom in spite of her condition, I pray that you may draw a smile to come out the wellsprings of spirit. Let her commit to you her hearts' desires and her truest heart to heart Lord. Lord bless his brother and sister and inspire them with words of new life. Lord Give Antonio a reason to look unto the new day. Carina Lord, she is in distress and she is in dier need of you. Lord i lift her up because this spirit of depression is consumming her Lord I rebuke that spirit of depression and doubt and hurt weighing down. Lord renew in her a spirit of life Lord. Restore the joy to her and her sister Lord. I lift Misha before you Lord it is you who lifts up things that fall down. For Isaiah stated in your word :Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost. (Isaiah 55) You invite us with no cost Lord. You give an opportunity that simply can't be refused. God I call to you to restore the joy and freely give what is asked. All of my help commeth from the Lord. Lord bring forth the answer to what is desired by her will. You are the easer of the mind. The renewer of our faith and daily you give us a reason to be appreciative and thankful of what is. God you are...wonderful. Lord restore the Joy to Jaleesa and Delroy Lord. Even though their lives may not reflect your will they are still in need of you. You are able to change what seems unchangable. You respond to the hearts that seek you. You serve those who have little to no hope but God it is you. It is you who sustains my faith in you. For if you said it you will do it. Lord I commit my soul and hearts' desires to you. You deserve my praise for what you do and what you will continue to do.

Romans chapter 12 calls us to act accordingly and i bind this prayer in faith and full awareness of your majesty

9Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.
10Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves.
11Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.
12Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. 13Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality.
14Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
15Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.
16Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.

God show us the way in which we lack. God it is you.

All to Jesus I surrender; all to him I freely give; I will ever love and trust him, in his presence daily live. I surrender all, I surrender all, all to thee, my blessed Savior, I surrender all. !!!

Its in Jesus NAME all things are made whole and renewed in faith and prayer
Amen.

"Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love. Remember the height from which you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place."- Revelations 2: 4&5

Love is mercy and compassion but reverence first and foremost, it is a relationship with great structure of foundation and has to be nurtured like a flower of rarity that it is.

Confusion

Have you ever seen a child's face when their confused? They squint their eyes and twist their mouths as if they ate a lemon. Its the cutest thing but at the same time the child also feels as if they won't be able to truly function if they don't quite understand what's being asked of them. For example, when you say a full fledged sentence quickly to them they can only compute to their little brains compacity at the time.

Confusion in adulthood is like feeling stupid or rather useless to the problem at hand. Sometimes our spiritual life goes south and we are drawn into the puddle of confusion and its like God, if you said this why am i feeling this or why am i going through this? You can question God all you want to be honest, but at the end of the day He still is God. He's like the father that keeps his children's thoughts at bay before you realize the reason why years later in adulthood. Why is such an annoying question but if the answer sufficies you'd really understand.

God is not the author of confusion.

Where there's a question there's an answer. Plain and simple. Don't let people or other biases turn you away from a sound answer that God provides on His time which is on time.

"Trust in him at all times O People; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge."-
Psalm 62:8

" However, as it is written: 'No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him' " - 1 Corinthians 2:9

We may not understand but God knows...When God responds just says yes and amen

Just like 1,2,3....

As a child i began to count on my fingers, because it was the only thing children were able to really get into without being bored at the age of 2 -3. But when i got sick it was that time where i didn't count anymore and i just wanted my mom to take care of me and heal me in any way possible.

I never really thought about it until now, but being sick humbles you and brings you to this state of mind where you just have to view everything and say to yourself:

"God if it wasn't for your grace and mercy, these feelings and emotions envoked by this sickness might appear much worse."

Sickness is something that a lot of people take for granted....yeah i said for granted. Have you ever wanted to go to some event or occasion at the last moment but in the back of your mind you knew or you just didn't want to go in the first place, then all of a sudden your sick...Hello?... You don't have to necessarily be physically sick to be "sick" but you can be mentally, spiritually or emotionally sick. These three other aspects of "sick" i've mentioned are just the litte things that evolve and intertwine with each other. Mentally sick can be a known disease or that clout the resounds in your mind as a constant reminder of either failure or what if....i hate the what ifs, because they bring so many other thoughts along with them causing an arousal of other thoughts to float about in your mind. These failures and what ifs are what tie into Emotional sickness, now that brings forth the baggage of the result of going into that murky trail of thought and then you drag yourself into spiritual sickness, meaning you feel that God can't and won't change the circumstances because your in too deep.

Define "In too Deep" in God's eyes?

In too deep is just doubts and emotions coaxing you to put God in a rock and hard place. This is the type of situation where God can take you out of, but yet you don't want get out of it just as yet yourself. So "in too deep" is that prayer you pray when you have a moment of clarity and you look up to the sky and say words of sincerity. Its funny when He removes you out that situation you're like a blind man babbling nonsense because you have yet to accept you have no physical vision...its time to open up your senses and depend on something greater that your finite characteristics. God is there, willing, open, and availible but just like 1,2,3...that situation can become a thing of the past only if and only if you let Him make it the past.

Sickness, whether temporary or till the chapters of time close, makes us see that our days and our voices are temporary, if it wasn't for His mercy or His grace i can gurantee you this world we live in today would be sheer disgust in everyones' eyes, there is but so much the human mind can take. So think of that head cold or those allergies or whatever ailment you have as a chance to seriously reflect on whatever emotions could have ran through your body if you were exposed to a even greater ailment, the destruction of the soul itself.


"Has not my hand made all these things, and so came into being? declares the Lord. 'This is the one I esteem he who is humble and contrite in spirit, and trembles at my word." Isaiah 66:2

"He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint" Isaiah 40:30&31

Leave it to God, because there is no depth that He can't reach to get to you.
