Come Boldly Before The Throne Of Grace

Note that title doesn't say a throne of judgement or condemnation, but a Throne of Grace. Now that is good news, very good news.

Hbr 4:14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

Hbr 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

Hbr 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Blessings in God's Glorious Grace

Bible

Basic, Instructions, Before, Leaving Earth.

Simple translation, and in many ways very true. I prefer to call the scriptures God's love letters. Another personal translation of mine is the do's and the don't's. One of my favorite books is the book of Proverbs which is full of instructions that can be applied to everyday life and life's everyday decisions. It is written that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Truth is, God has it covered, and has given us Godly wisdom through the scriptures.

Here is a great web site and ministry for studying God's Word. I use it daily. Blue Letter Bible at www.blueletterbible.org

It is filled with great studies, easy word searches, and volumes of life changing information. May you be blessed through it. Also, please visit our main blog spot portal at:

The Fathers Love

Sometime I think that we overlook a very profound situation that unfolded in Jesus's life, and a very profound set of scriptures.
The scriptures share Mat 3:16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: Mat 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.


Imagine not only hearing the words but also experiencing the very love of the Father that Christ experienced in that moment as the Holy Spirit descended upon Him. Imagine the very windows of heaven being opened over your life and heaven coming to earth in one's life.

Just imagine hearing the voice of the Father, the very heart and compassion within the Father's voice saying "I love you, you are my beloved son or daughter".

I have had the privilege of sitting under the pastoral care of a man that teaches about the Love Of The Father in a very profound scriptural way. I have also had the privilege of experiencing the very out pouring of God's love being shed forth by the Holy Spirit in ways that left me in complete awe, and in ways that were life changing.

On the topic of The Father's Love, I thought I'd share Pastor Ed's ministry link with you. It is truly a remarkable ministry and teaching.
Remember, The Father Loves You.

The River Is Flowing

There is none likened unto the Lord. Full of love, of grace, of mercy, of hope, and of promises. He smiles upon His called, His chosen, His elect. His heart of compassion is opened unto His precious and beloved bride. For the Bridegroom, the Beloved Husbandman, our King, is a God overflowing with love, compassion and gracious thoughts towards us.

There is a mighty river that flows, that is flowing, that flows, which comes from the heart of God. There is a mighty river, that flows, which is flowing, that touches our hearts and changes our live. For the river of our God is good, and through and in Christ, we bask in His heavenly waters. Poured forth richly, even as deep cries out to deep.

Sometimes we stick our toes in to test the waters, and the Lord says; the river is good. Other times we go in ankle deep, and the Lord says; the river is good. Other times we go in waist deep and the Lord says; the river is good. Sometimes we hang onto a our safety bars, and the Lord says; the river is flowing. Come, come, come into the waters.

It's ok, we can let go of our safety bars, and trust Him, because the river is good, the river is flowing and the Lord is the river.

Drink deep beloved. Drink deep, the goodness of your God. Bask in His presence, in His love, in His compassion, and in His tender mercies.

Blessings, in Christ

Heaven Worship Coming To Earth

There is a new song being birthed in the hearts of the bride. A song of deep deep love, intimacy, and adoration for God. A song whereas the deepest of deeps, cries out to deep.

This song, this adoration, this worship. It is heaven's worship coming to earth and manifesting in the hearts of worshippers that are seeking hard after God, His Kingdom and His heart.

Blessings, beloved.
