Encouragement~Prayer:). October 13, 2014.

Lord prepare me to be a sanctuary
pure and holy tried and true
And with thanksgiving
I’ll be a living sanctuary for You
Beloved In Christ,

God moved my heart yesterday through His servant, the preaching of the clear gospel:). Many of you were moved too during your time of Sunday fellowship, worship, teaching, preaching, serving, encouraging, loving etc., The body of Christ gathered in various settings seeking our gracious God! Yes! That’s exciting to me! And, gets me wanting to overflow… so thank you allowing me to encourage you and express love toward you my brothers and sisters In Christ:).

“One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.” Psalm 27:4

With tears I ask myself, “Am I always available to God?” Sure I am a Christian. I have been saved by grace through faith. However, the more I grow in grace the more I recognize how unavailable I tend to be…. Forgive me Lord. I am owned by God! A necessary reminder and encouragement yesterday as I listened to the preacher. “…As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” Rom 10:15b.

In Christ, we are possessed by Deity: Father, Son, Holy Spirit. How cool is it that Jesus lives out His life in and through you and me via the power of the Holy Spirit! Our Christian life is supernatural! My availability… you too… being available to our holy, holy, holy God produces a holy life that can be measured, observed, reflected, shared, one that overflows, encourages, asks, seeks, knocks all the time! Fellowship with God in the power of the Holy Spirit…and fellowship with others in the same supernatural power through God the Holy Spirit.

Truly, I pray I can experience an ever increasing insatiable desire to experience God’s heart, to know what He wants for me everyday as I journey In Christ. My sincere prayer is the same for YOU. I pray your hunger and thirst can’t be quenched, that the things of this life only serve to make us all the more hungry, longing for our Holy God.

Hear my voice when I call, Lord; be merciful to me and answer me. My heart says of you, “Seek his face!” Your face, Lord, I will seek. Psalm 27:7-8.
Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; bring an offering and come before him. Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness.1 Chron 16:29

Pass me not, O gentle Savior,
Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.

Savior, Savior,
Hear my humble cry,
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.

Let me at Thy throne of mercy
Find a sweet relief;
Kneeling there in deep contrition,
Help my unbelief.

Trusting only in Thy merit,
Would I seek Thy face;
Heal my wounded, broken spirit,
Save me by Thy grace.

Thou the spring of all my comfort,
More than life to me,
Whom have I on earth beside Thee,
Whom in Heav’n but Thee.

Find a brother or sister to overflow with this week:).

LoVe YOU! Much!
