WITH GOD Project

Yesterday was an eye opener to my own heart. I have experienced GOD in a way working in my life just by letting go and let HIM take control.
39: Praise Him in His House

A Heart of PRAISE
PRAISE HIM IN HIS HOUSE
As the local church gathers together, His House becomes a place where we can bring our hearts, voice, music and words to sing and give praises to our Heavenly Father. The strength of worship in community is the encouragement it brings to one another in our different seasons of life.

Our freedom in worship allows others to feel free to worship, creating an atmosphere of sincerity where people can be real with God as they encounter Him through praise. It lifts those silenced by weariness and puts a new song in their mouths.

There is an undeniable sense of JOY when the church gathers to worship – a joy not dependant on circumstance, rather a characteristic of being renewed by the Holy Spirit.

Music enriches our worship. There are anthems sung around the world declaring the greatness of God. Some of these have begun as an expression of our House and have now become a resource that enriches local churches, leading people into the presence of God through praise.

Take a look at the praise song beginning in 1 Chronicles 16:8. Read it aloud as you prepare your heart for tomorrow’s services. Give Him praise for all He has planned to do.

GIVE PRAISE TO THE LORD, PROCLAIM HIS NAME; MAKE KNOWN AMONG THE NATIONS WHAT HE HAS DONE. SING TO HIM, SING PRAISE TO HIM; TELL OF ALL HIS WONDERFUL ACTS.GLORY IN HIS HOLY NAME; LET THE HEARTS OF THOSE WHO SEEK THE LORD REJOICE.
1 Chronicles 16:8-10 (NIV)

I want you to be filled with GOD and to start a new life with GOD at the steering wheel. Let HIM full your life with love peace grace and hope. May you be blessed by GOD's grace.

God woke me up this morning. Sometimes I experience God when I least expect it. I have made many mistakes in my past. Its one of the reasons I started this revival, as a stepping stone for others to start building on their relationship with God. Today I give thanks for what God has done for me, and for what is Yet to come. No matter what happens, I will always stand firm in my faith and my relationship with God. Always remember our time isn's always His time. But know this. His timing is always perfect. Give thanks either way.
Day 37: Give Thanks

A Heart of PRAISE
GIVE THANKS
A heart overflowing with gratitude and thanks results in praise. When we pray and experience God moving and answered prayer, our natural response is praise in gratitude, which in turn creates an opportunity for further prayer to God and praise! Thanksgiving brings glory to God and makes Him known.

Yet, even in difficult times, gratitude has power. Novelist, theologian and Christian apologist, C.S. Lewis said, “We ought to give thanks for all fortune: if it is “good,” because is it good, if “bad” because it works in us patience, humility, and the contempt of this world and the hope of our eternal country.”
The expression of gratitude and thanks to God magnifies His majesty and power. As we bring our attention to His sovereignty, whilst still remembering what He has done for us, our faith is stirred up and our hope for what is to come is increased.

Give thanks daily – write down or tell someone two things you are thankful for at the end of each day. Perhaps make it a regular dinner-time activity. Be determined to develop a spirit of thankfulness and praise.

I PROCLAIM YOUR SAVING ACTS IN THE GREAT ASSEMBLY; I DO NOT SEAL MY LIPS, LORD, AS YOU KNOW. I DO NOT HIDE YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS IN MY HEART; I SPEAK OF YOUR FAITHFULNESS AND YOUR SAVING HELP. I DO NOT CONCEAL YOUR LOVE AND YOUR FAITHFULNESS FROM THE GREAT ASSEMBLY.
Psalm 40:9-10 (NIV)

May God bless you and keep you safe and guide your heart. When you learn to let go and let God take control, you will be amazed at what God is really saying. Satan has his ways of blocking spiritual messages from God. Thats why it is so important to open your heart. You know the little voice you're parents thought you to listen to? Your spirit has a way of communicating to the Holy Spirit and to God. So when you hear God's message. Its not always what we want to hear, but God would not give you a message if He feels you do not need to hear. God will show you if you open your heart and let Him break down the wall brick by brick.

Blessings

Today is a MUST READ!! Be Refreshed. Sometime we face challenges from our past to misguide our feelings and open us to spiritual attack. But God chose you for a reason and you chose Him. Open your heart and you will hear God's voice.
Day 34: Be Refreshed

A Heart of PRAISE
BE REFRESHED
In Acts 3 we learn that a time of refreshing is the immediate comfort we can expect when we repent and accept Christ as our Savior. Where does this sense of refreshing come from? It comes from being in the presence of the Lord; from His Holy Spirit. Our sins are wiped out and we receive a refreshing from the Lord? This is an incredible and incomprehensible exchange for our sin.
Does this mean we repent once and that sense of refreshing is always present? No. In our human nature, we want our actions to follow a genuine heart to change but we will fail. It is crucial for us to continually turn back to God, remember all that He has done for us, and hold onto the anchor of His hope. You have to learn to open your heart and listen to God’s word. It may not always be want we want, but its what God wants for you. Do not let the past control you. Being refreshed comes with a price tag, you open the door to be under spiritual attack. But if you place your trust in God and open the door you will hear the Holy Spirit and give God control.

One way we can do this is to praise God regardless of how we feel emotionally, by bringing what the book of Hebrews calls a ‘sacrifice of praise’ (Hebrews 13:15). As revivalist Thomas Charles of Bala, wrote in 1791 “those who have struck the deepest note of penitence can reach the highest note of praise.” When you are refreshed in God, the past does not matter. As far as the east is from the west. When you choose God to take over you become a new person. The old you gets left behind in the water and your past life and sins are forgotten.

God is talking to you now. Open your heart and let your spirit take control.

Take a moment to remember when you first met Jesus and the sense of ‘refreshing’ that came with finding joy in the Lord in the midst your circumstances, past failures and hurt.

REPENT, THEN, AND TURN TO GOD, SO THAT YOUR SINS MAY BE WIPED OUT, THAT TIMES OF REFRESHING MAY COME FROM THE LORD,
Acts 3:19 (NIV)
May you be blessed today, and may the Holy spirit guide your thoughts and your heart.
