Breaking Bread with God, my Adoptive Father!

I wanted to share a very special day I spent with my Adoptive Father during spring break and it was actually on the Thursday before Good Friday.  This was the day that Jesus broke bread with His disciples and raised the cup that would become the new covenant in His name.  He told them to take this bread and eat it as it is a part of him that solidifies their belief in him and then He said take this cup and drink as this represents the blood that will be shed for you and will allow you to be saved.  This communion confirmed the new covenant we have in Christ and the soon arrival of the baptism of the Holy Spirit.  I enjoyed my week with God during this past spring break as He met me every morning with something new.  Every morning was beautiful and this particular Thursday was just the same.  The views were ridiculous and so so sweet.  It was as if he painted every morning view just for me.  The suns rays always pointed right at me.  I went to the grocery this morning and bought some Challah bread and some grape juice, and oh yeah some croquettes and a coconut pastry, LOL.

On a serious note, the worship music (Hymns) were playing and I read the last supper scripture out loud to my Adoptive Father.  I took the bread(body) and broke it and then ate it and then I took the cup(blood) and drank from it.  This was my first communion with my Adoptive Father.  I learned a few weeks ago that this was my destiny.  God chose me to be His son.  There were moments when the sun would sneak out from behind the clouds and the light show was amazing.  As the clouds moved the sun rays displayed their beauty over the sky and ocean.  I was able to sit, in solitude, and truly enjoy His Majesty.  My goal is to be lifted above my feelings and into the mysterious tremendum- The Awesome Presence of God.  One of my fears is to deal with my lack of urgency to repent and change completely into God’s presence. WHY DON’T I LIVE LIKE HE IS WITH ME, LITERALLY!  I now realize the battle but also the love that Christ has for me and you.  Though we may exhibit behaviors that are in conflict with the Holy Nature of God, Jesus DIED for those behaviors.  It does not give us a ticket to sin freely, but to know we are free from sin when we repent.  There is truth that if there is any unholy in me then there is nothing truly holy in me. However, that was the purpose of the cross and the victory over death.  As we draw near to God, our Adoptive Father, we will DESIRE to do those things He calls on us to do.  Breaking bread on this spring break Thursday was such a blessing as God chose to meet me!  There is war and turmoil all throughout my mind, body and soul and as this battle persists the Holy Spirit comforts me in letting me know I will not perish.  I am His and as scripture says, If God is for me, then who can be against me! Amen

One Love, One King, All Christ

Jesus Smiled at Me

Today is when death lost its fiery sting
It was on a Friday that Christ was forsaken by ALL
Today, Jesus is our true and mighty risen King
On His return, riding His white horse and making that thunderous call

My heart desires to pursue His reverence
No longer am I a slave choosing to wear my chains
For on that cross Jesus laid for my deliverance
That is why, Beloved, in the tomb there are no remains

On this Friday I fell flat on my face
Yet as my Savior lifted me He gave me a smile
You my son are complete and covered in my Grace
Dare not listen to one of those lies that I would put you on trial

This smile from me is all for you
Easter Sunday is a True day of the Ultimate Victory
As I walked out of that tomb the enemy had not a clue
Deaths terrible sting is now only history

My Beloved, walk with strength that you know me
This price I paid on the cross was for all
The new creation I have made you is what I want you to see
You will always, My Beloved, be lifted on high every time that you fall

Oh what a beautiful powerful  ressurection Sunday
There is such beauty in knowing my Jesus smiled at me
In his nature he will leave the 99 for the one lead astray
Death is defeated and powerless all because Our King was nailed to that tree

One Love, One King, All Christ!

What’s on The Horizon!

We can see all types of shapes, shades and colors as we look on a horizon.  We can sometimes make the shapes out to be ships or planes and sometimes even waves crashing.  The sun is blistering down sometimes and we get the mirage view, that glistening and blurry view, that looks like a mirror reflection.  When the sky is overcast the shapes and shadows become anything our mind chooses to see.  As I sit by the lighthouse today and look out over the horizon I see 3 crosses.  I was praying and talking with my adoptive Father and as I looked to where the rays of sun were shining through the overcast skies, there were the crosses.  They were spread out perfectly as if I was looking at Calvary.  He decided to show me the beauty of the cross on this Holy week, as a reminder of the payment for what I have done and what I will do in the future.  It is amazing how God could take 3 channel markers and from the horizon view make them look like the 3 crosses on that first Good Friday.  How appropriate for me that the same crosses I am viewing are channel markers and just another reminder of staying on the right path.  You see when a boater ventures off that channel that has been coursed out for them they run aground.  That is what we do as sinners, when we forget that we are saints, and need not turn to our sin but continually rip off those grave clothes.  The channel markers give you a direction that is kind but not necessarily safe because you are still on the vicious, powerful and unpredictable ocean.

What is on your horizon, my friends? May I tell you? There is a God who loves you so much He died for you.  He chose death so that we could have life eternally.  A God who says have small, tiny faith and you can move mountains.  A God who says give me all of your burdens, especially when they cause you to fall.  A God who says I will give you a full and abundant life if you choose to follow me.  A God who will accept you no matter what into His adoptive family.  A God who looks passed your flaws and sins and even while you are sinning, He Chose You!  There is no condemnation is Jesus, there is conviction and redemption.  A God who will pursue you even if you do not believe in Him until you do or die.  He is on your horizon and it is simple to reach him, isn’t it?  Make your way in that direction, do not turn away from him because he never turns away from you.  He runs to us as the Father of the prodigal son, waiting and watching the horizon from the porch for his lost son/daughter to be a shape on the horizon and the moment he recognizes its you, HE SPRINTS  to you so that HE CAN HUG AND KISS YOU!!  This is the God that waits on the horizon for you and for me.  I am approaching my horizon and the closer I get the tighter the embrace feels from God.  The clearer my mind becomes and the more I can love on others will just strengthen my ability to do His will and surrender my own.  My friends, God Is Love and again I ask you What is on your horizon? Amen!

One Love, One King, All Christ!
