A Communion Message

So I haven't written in awhile and I truly am sorry God has been doing so much within me. The Lord spoke this to me a couple of weeks ago. Now I have a Communion Message. Love Ya.
Don't bite off of me!

"6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.

Gen 3:6-7 (NIV)

5 "I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

John 15:5 (NIV)

19 And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me." 20 In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you

Luke 22:19-20 (NIV)"

In the Garden of Eden there was two trees. These two trees have a significant place in scripture, one tree gives life, the other takes life. In Genesis there is two, but in Revelation there is only one tree, the tree of life. When the human race ate of the tree of Knowledge we lost our eternal life, and received a life of death, because that was the fruit of the tree. This was the reason why Christ died for us on a cross.

A person can live there whole life and never receive healing from the fruit of the tree of Knowledge. A Christian can live out there walk, and still have sin in there heart, never seeing God heal them of it.

You see Christ is the True Vine, the tree of life. Jesus died on a tree, legend says it was a dogwood tree. Jesus could have died any sort of way, it is interesting though that he died on tree for the redemption from the tree of knowledge. When Jesus died the tree of Knowledge was destroyed.

When Jesus broke the bread and gave the wine, he was giving us the fruit of the tree of Life. Communion is so important in are walk with Jesus. We live in a world that's dying, we live in body's that are dying. We need Life and only through the body and the blood of the new covenant can we receive life.

We can live are whole Christian walk and never be alive. Do not make Communion vanity, rather receive the life that God intended you to have.

Why?

Why do I have to be adult, in most situations in my life? I'm done with people's crap. I'm the youngest, why should I have to be the one who confronts. Does anyone care about me? Does anyone have the courtesy to ask? Why is it so hard to be in my family? Why do I have to Lead it? I hate selfishness with all that is in me. Why must you always talk about yourself. You leave no room in conversation for me to breath my hurt, my pain. You have a problem and wont even admit it, nor will you ever see it. You've gone so far that you don't even trust me anymore. STILL, Yet will I still pray for you. It will take more than this for me to give up, You're my family, my blood, a person a care to deeply for. I love you so much. Please let God change your Heart. We all are hurting from the divorce, can't you see that? You just don't care about the family. Why?

Five years going strong worm, when will you stop contending with God & men and come and rest? You are loved and people do care.

"Answer my Prayer, O'God"

I was doing my Dev. today and was writing my prayer for the day. I went through it all, then at the end of it I said, "answer my prayer, O'God". Then the Lord spoke to me reminding me how selfish it was to ask that. He wanted to know if I meant it as me saying, "Lord your Will, as long as you just answer it" or "Me forcing my will upon Him". Needless to say I was humbled this morning. Love ya.

"For Those Who Wait"

Acts 1:4 "And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, Which," [Jesus] He said, "you have heard from me;"

Jesus is just about to ascend into Heaven and He is speaking to His disciples, telling them to wait at Jerusalem.

I have so many needs in my life. It's easy to not be aggressive in my prayer time. Then because I'm not aggressive I become very passive with my needs. I need God to be Masculine, I need signs of Love that are just for me, I need heart from Him, I need Him as an all consuming fire to consume me. My need will only be filled when I push for it in prayer, but it is only for those who wait. And that wait should not be neglected, but honored. It creates suffering, and Love suffers long.

"Lord give me grace. Grace when I'm not aggressive with you, nor when I don't wait. Have grace on me."

Ready for a Fight

Nehemiah 4:17 "Those who built on the wall, and those who carried burdens, loaded themselves so that with one hand they worked at construction, and with the other held a weapon."

Nehemiah is rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem. Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabs, the Ammonities and the Ashdodites conspired to put a stop to Nehemiah's plans. So the Israelites had to be ready for a fight at any time of the day.

I think that this is a perfect symbol of a Christian. One hand they constructed, the other they held a weapon, ready for a fight when who ever came knocking. We must work hard at rebuilding the walls of our heart, but do not be ignorant towards the evil that waits for you. Do not fear the battle, but anticipate the victory. Work hard at rebuilding yourself, and be ready for a fight. Peace comes only after a war. You must fight and you will win.

"Lord I open my heart to you. Search me deep down inside and show me who I am, not what I am."

"For my Unconquerable Soul"

Daniel 3:16-18 "Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to the king, "O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from it, and he will rescue us from your hand, O king. But even if he does not, we want you to know, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up""

This is right before they get thrown in the fire.

This past year I find myself seeing God in a new way. It seems that almost every time I read the Bible I see God having an attitude, or men of God having an attitude. I feel a deep need for this attitude. I was reading Daniel and verse 18 jumped out at me"But even if he does not, we want you to know". I yearn for such a conviction in my life. Not to just piss people off, but to stand up for whats right, to stand for truth. Not because that is what God wants, but because it is masculine. To stand and to defend. To get in the face of an advisory, and be stubborn with a conviction, even if your conviction proves to be wrong, that is besides the point. Fight and never get an inch. This verse reminded me of a poem that I hold dear, and constantly think of.

Invictus
by William Ernest Henley (1849-1903)

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishment the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

"O'Lord open my conviction to the world, not that can show off, but that I may stand. Thank you Father for the attitude that you have given me. Thank you for my unconquerable soul".

Cloth Me

Revelation 16:15 "Behold, I come like a thief! Blessed is he who stays awake & keeps his cloths with him, so that he may not go naked & be shamefully exposed."

Chapter 15 is the seven plagues, and chapter 16 is talking about the seven bowls. After the sixth bowl, Christ says this (vs16).

You can be asleep & be robbed of your cloths. Only God could cloth Adam & Eve, and only the Holy Spirit can cloth us. The Holy Spirit doesn't cloth us with anything other than Himself. He wraps himself around us, He lays on us, and breaths into us life. Just like Elijah dose with the widows son. The Holy Spirit can only resurrect the Son, not the flesh. We keep ourselves dead. It is only when the Holy Spirit lays on us that we can be alive. Alive only in Him, Clothed.

"Holy Spirit fall upon me, just like Elijah did. Breath into my lungs the breath that keeps me from myself. Cloth me O'God. Cloth Me... I'm broken, naked and need a touch from you."

Covenant

Ezekiel 16:60;62-63 "Yet I will remember the covenant I made with you in the days of your youth, & I will establish an everlasting covenant with you" [62-63]"So I will establish my covenant with you, & you will know that I am the Lord. "Then, when I make atonement fore you for all you done, you will remember & be ashamed & never again open your mouth because of your humiliation, declares the Sovereign Lord"

Ezekiel is talking about how Israel sinned & that God will bring them back.

It is alway good to keep fresh in our minds the covenant we have with God. We are His Sons, not servants. He is faithful to come through for us. He has never left.

"Father help me to teach your covenant to others, not my assumptions."

Long Suffering

Jeremiah 15:15 :You understand, O'Lord; remember me and care for me. Avenge me on my persecutors. You are long-suffering - do not take me away; think of how I suffer reproach for your sake."

Jeremiah is prophesing.

I picked this verse because when I read, "You are long-suffering" my heart pulled. I love the verse in itself but what I felt meant most was just the fact of seeing God's Heart in it. God suffers long. I believe we as a people are quick to forget. In our selfishness we put our needs before the Father's and in so we neglect Him. How He must hurt, He suffer longs.

"Father I care about you. Open my heart & teach me to care for you"

Stronger

John 10:32 "But Jesus said to them, 'I have shown you many miracles from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?' "

Jesus is speaking about how He is the good Shepherd. Then during the feast of dedication they ask Him about His divinity. To which Jesus replies I have told you and you don't believe, then the Jews tried to kill him with stones, (vs 32).


I never want to use God as a escape goat. I get spooked easy and turn to judge His hand all to quick. Out of my fear I'll stone my God, not meaning to only throw one stone. God has blessed me so much and yet I find myself asking for forgiveness once again. It is my flesh, my carnal nature, not me. There's a difference. I know who I love, and He knows of my Love. Our Relationship is stronger. What can break it?

"I honor you Lord. I surrender my all and want nothing more than You becoming more in me and myself becoming less".

Our Role

Jeremiah 4:4;14 "Circumcise yourselves to the Lord, circumcise your hearts, you men of Judah & people of Jerusalem, or my wrath will break out & burn like Fire because of the evil you have done - Burn with no one to quench it" "O Jerusalem, wash the evil from your Heart and be saved. How long will you harbor wicked thoughts?"

Jeremiah is crying out to Jerusalem for purification, for salvation, for Integrity.

"Circumcise Yourselves". We hve the role to play in Christianity. Many I times it can be easy to forget, or think we don't need to, but we must wash, we must circumcise the heart. Push with all are might to fight for purity. Fight with violence, fight with anger, fight for your heart. Don't loose the innocents you have before you fall. Work over obstacles and fight your thoughts. We are not right, we are wicked. The worlds worst atrocities did not come from peoples stomachs that empty, who's stomachs were full. Christ is the only thing that makes us better. That is our role, pray yes, but it is our responsibility to push.


"God I know that you have set me apart. Keep my mind focused to fight my wicked thoughts."

The Fathers Heart

Zeph 3:15, "The Lord has taken away your punishment, he has turned back your enemy. The Lord, the King of Israel, is with you; never again will you fear any harm."

Zeph three is talking about destruction because of sin, but vs14 to 20 is speaking about redemption.

It is canal to read the Bible without the Holy Spirit. If we don't, we begin to see the Bible fearfully, and we miss the mark. People deal with this issue, more than we think. The book of Revaluation, for instance was supposed to be a book that inspired worship, but people will read it without the Holy Spirit and fear begins to kill slowly. My point is that the Bible is not about condemnation, but about redemption. In our carnality we miss that and let fear control our lives. (vs15) It is always nice to see the Fathers Heart. He doesn't Reject.

"Let me read your word with a surrender Heart".

A Gift In A Crippled Hand

Mark 3:4-5, "Then He said to them, "Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?" But they kept silent. And when He had looked around at them with anger, being grieved by the hardness of their hears, He said to the man, "stretch out your hand". And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored as whole as the other."

Jesus heals a man

The Lord has a purpose for each of us. God has given us gifts in our hands. May that gift never become crippled by the hand's physical state. But let it be restored as the other. The other could have been his other hand, or might have been Christ's hand. (And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored as whole as the other.)

"Lord un-cripple my hands, my dreams, my visions. Heal me on the Sabbath".
