Satiated

Satiety: the quality or state of being fed or gratified to or beyond capacity : surfeit, fullness

I have a Bible CD collection and I recently bought an mp3 player and recorded scripture on it and began to listen to it from time to time. For a while now I have tried to read at least few chapters in various books in the Bible daily. I have been playing my Bible Cds in the DVD player at bedtime and yesterday I received the complete Bible on DVD that I had ordered. I believe we have gotten beyond the point of reading a few chapters of the Bible a day and that being effective. I believe we need to immerse ourselves in scripture; to become satiated with the Word of God in order to be able to stand.

Phillipians 4
1.Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.
2. I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord.
3.And I intreat thee also, true yoke fellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellow labourers, whose names are in the book of life.
4.Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say , Rejoice .,
5.Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
6. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
7.And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
8.Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
9.Those things, which ye have both learned , and received , and heard , and seen in me, do : and the God of peace shall be with you

BIRTH

God said he is breaking the water

Transformed: A Made Up Mind

I went to a conference Saturday and one of the speakers was Elder Savage. Elder Savage,delivered a powerful word that seemed tailor made for me. God is beautiful in that he always makes you feel special; it could be a sunset or a red bird and I can't help but say thank you Lord for the sunset etc. It's like he made it just for me. Elder Savage's message was on Obedience; she said to answer the call and quench not the Spirit. The message changed something in me. I heard " I am moving the debris that has stopped up your dam, the devil wants you immobile but I am unstopping your dam, out of your belly will flow and rush rivers of living water".She began to pray and God told me to get up and I was reluctant at first but I am so glad I did. As she prayed for me I saw a vision of myself as a child with my hands over my mouth. Elder Savage said "you are like a locked up dam, you are locked up". I began to wail and then I unconsciously began to cover my mouth. As I sat down I made up my mind to switch. I participated in worship like I haven't for a long time, uninhibited. Pain normally makes me shut down and I had been going through some things but last night I made up my mind to be free. Free to worship, free to praise, free to dance (the dance part is a prophecy right now but it's coming) free to offer my gifts to the body of Christ, free to love without fear, free to touch, hug...whatever(touch had been an issue) free to laugh, clap, shout, or be silent, free to dress up, free to not shrink myself...Free to be ME. Sunday I sang in the choir; I joined Thursday. At first I had to fight my mind; I thought of my imperfections. I questioned myself and I heard God say "just be obedient, I'll work the rest out". It was a huge step to join the choir but God told me it wasn't about me or how I feel. God is coming for his talents. Sunday I sang and felt the urge to retreat, but something in me rose up and said not this time! Reaching my destiny depends on my obedience so today I stand strong and proclaim that "I am an unstopped dam. A mighty River; rushing waters that are being purified as I go."

Psalm 18

1. I will love thee, O LORD, my strength. 2. The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer ; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust ; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. 3 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised : so shall I be saved from mine enemies . 4 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid . 5 The sorrows of hell compassed me about : the snares of death prevented me. 6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry camebefore him, even into his ears. 7 Then the earth shook and trembled ; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken , because he was wroth . 8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured : coals were kindled by it. 9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down : and darkness was under his feet. 10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly : yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.11 He madedarkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.12 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed , hail stones and coals of fire.13 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.14 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot outlightnings, and discomfited them. 15 Then the channels of waters were seen , and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.17 He delivered me from my strong enemy , and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me. 18 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.19 He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me. 20 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me. 21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.22 For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me. 23 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.24 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.25 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful ; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright ; 26 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure ; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward .27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring downhighlooks.28 For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.29 For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.30 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried : he is a buckler to all those that trust in him. 31 For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God?32 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.33 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places.34 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.35 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up , and thy gentleness hath made me great . 36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip . 37 I have pursued mine enemies , and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed . 38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise : they are fallen under my feet.39 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me. 40 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies ; that I might destroy them that hate me. 41 They cried , but there was none to save them: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not. 42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.43 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me. 44 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me. 45 The strangers shall fade away , and be afraid out of their close places.46 The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted . 47 It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me. 48 He delivereth me from mine enemies : yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.49 Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.50Greatdeliverance giveth he to his king; and shewethmercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.

Faithful

I went to the beach and the fed the birds today: going to the water always makes me feel close to God. The beauty of his creation makes me long to be closer to him. As I fed the birds I gleaned spiritual lessons. I noticed how hungry the birds were. On a summer day everyone wants to go to the beach and a lot of people feed the birds, but on a cold day birds seem hungrier and the ones that want the bread bad enough come closer; close enough that it is almost like you're looking eye to eye.Even though you may throw the bread out on the water you make sure that you give the bread to the ones that are close. There is a key principle that came to me from watching the birds that I will be careful to put into action...on cold days come even closer to the source.

Matthew 24:45 KJV
Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
