"Hallelujah"

 

 

"Let sin be finished from the earth, and evil be no more.

My soul will bless God, Hallelujah!"

 (Ps. 104:35)

 

With my love and my sadness
I come before You Lord
My heart's in a thousand pieces
Maybe even more

Yet I trust in this moment
You're with me somehow
And You've always been faithful
So Lord even now

When all that I can sing
Is a broken hallelujah
When my only offering
Is shattered praise
Still a song of adoration
Will rise up from these ruins
I will worship You and give You thanks
Even when my only praise
Is a broken hallelujah

Oh Father, You have given
Much more than I deserve
And I have felt Your hand of blessing
On me at every turn

How could I doubt Your goodness
Your wisdom, Your grace
So Lord hear my heart
In this painful place

Hallelujah
I lift my voice
Your Spirit moves
I raise my hands
I reach for You

(Mandisa lyrics)

"Called From The Womb"

 

 

"For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink

neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with

the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb."

(Luke 1:15)

 

"Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever,

 the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may

be glorified.   A little one shall become a thousand, and a small

 one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time."

(Isaiah 60:21-22)

 

Elisabeth and Mary

 

John the Baptist, the forerunner of the omnipotent Savior, our Lord Jesus Christ, was called from his mother's womb, and filled with the Holy Ghost from the dark secret place of the womb.  Can the hand of Almighty God be upon an unborn child?  Can anointing from the Holy One of Israel saturate a thumb-sucking unborn babe?  Can a child have that called and chosen look upon the countenance from a very young age?  Can a child lead a Nation, bring people to belief in the One true God, turn hearts to the Savior of the world?    ...  yes, Yes, and YES!

 

 

A small one shall become a strong nation!  Children praying over adults, children praying over children, teenagers moving in ministry, healing and miracles coming through small faith-filled hands  ...  ministers of the gospel of Jesus Christ who eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, skip rope and play tag!  ...  It's a New time, a new era, a move of God through the ones He told us, adults, that we should become  ...  "except ye become as a little child.." 

 

Mary, the mother of Jesus

 

Mary was just a teenager when the angel of the Lord visited her, and she was a virgin "with child" of the Holy Ghost, carrying the God of the universe, Jesus Christ our Lord.  We have come to the endtimes of  teens and children moving into realms of glory, supernatural happenings, avenues of ministry only once thought for seasoned adults  ...  We are now approaching the "teen years"  ...  2013 ...  Why would God do this?  Because the Glory goes to Him; when we are weak, then He is strong; the foolish of this world confound the wise; the unlearned step into the dimension of being totally and completely used by the Eternal and Holy God  ... and guess what?  People see and BELIEVE!  That's what it's all about; miracles happen so people will believe; God works through "dust" so the lost will come to Him and believe; children and teenagers are used in ways they could not do themselves, except if a Holy God moved them  ... and then  ... WE believe!

 

 

Despise not the "little things," for they bring wonders!  The bottom line?  TO GOD BE THE GLORY!  The final triumph will give all the Glory to Him  ...  Spirit upon all flesh  ...  signs, wonders, and miracles  ...  unexplained manifestations of the One who confounds the wise  ...  The "teen" years, the years when little is much in the Master's hand, the years of Glory, the years when planet earth has no choice but to BELIEVE! 

 

   

What will capture the attention of this fast-paced, electronic, gadget oriented, high-tech, knowledge exploding world in which we now live?  Something that doesn't make sense?  Huh?  This world has seen everything, done everything, experienced everything  ...  or so they think  ...  But, what if something begins to happen all over the world that is beyond understanding, beyond comprehension, and a little unbelievable, except it's right before the eyes and when one sees, one believes!  "What are you talkin' about?" you ask.

 

The foolish to confound the wise  ...

"THE Omnipotent!"

 

 

"Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool:

what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or

what is the place of my rest?"

(Acts 7:49)

"If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my

bed in hell, behold, thou art there."

(Psalm 139:8)

 

There is no escape from the Holy, everlasting, omnipresent, eternal, Creator, GOD Almighty!  He is everywhere; the eternal galaxies can't contain Him; the vast and intricate universe submits to Him; the raving billowing oceans obey His order; the stars twinkle at the Word of His command; He moves and spins the earth with two fingers of His hand; the blinding sun shines at His blink; the mighty and gallant winds direct their course at the wave of His arm; He rules and reigns with all power; He sits upon the circle of the earth, and He IS and forever will be "THE Omnipotent!"

"Death and Destruction lie open before the LORD--how

much more the hearts of men!"

(Proverbs 15:11)

 

There are no secrets before the One in whom we all live, move, and have our being.  Heaven is His throne, earth is His footstool, and we, all of us, will deal with the CREATOR one day.  Atheists, unbelievers, and all those who think they will hide from the One who created them: here's a NEWS flash  ...  there is nowhere to hide, NOWHERE!  We will have our day of reckoning, all of us, before the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, Jesus Christ!  

"But will God really dwell on earth? The heavens, even

the highest heaven, cannot contain you. How much less

this temple I have built!"

(I Kings 8:27)

 

Temples can't hold Him; sanctuaries can't confine Him; Nations can't diminish Him; people can't capture Him; and the world doesn't know what to do with Him!  How vast is our God, how all consuming, how magnificent, how glorious, and when we consider these things; we have no cause to worry or fret, our God will take care of us; He will see us through; He will make a way where there is no way, because He IS the way!  Rest in His mighty arms, dear children of the King, for He knows the number of hairs upon your head; He knows your thoughts before you think them  ...  He knows, and He can make a way, because He knows the way  ... 

"If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle

on the far side of the sea ..."

(Psalm 139:9)

 

The Lord Jesus Christ knows where you are, and all you have to do is reach up to where He is  ... in prayer, in repentance, and ask Him to fill you with His Spirit  ...  He will!  His Spirit is comforting, strengthening, powerful and Holy; it's the wind beneath your wings, and the Joy in the midst of your soul; it's the still small voice in your darkness, and the whispers in your pastures of loneliness; it will hold you, give you peace, sustain you, and deliver you from terror by night and harm by day  ... 

The Holy Ghost and fire is the Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ sent, as promised, to His creation to carry us through until He comes again.  He thinks of all things; He said I must go away, but I will come again to receive you unto myself that where I am, you may be also.  He's the bridegroom, the lover of your soul, your Savior and Lord, your friend, your soft place to fall, your lily of the valley, the bright and morning star, the Holy One of Israel, your glow in the moonlight, the shadow that walks beside you, the arms holding you in sorrow, the hand wiping away your tears, and the angel unaware  ...  He IS!

"Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight.

Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the

 eyes of him to whom we must give account."

(Hebrews 4:13)

 

You are not alone!  Lift your arms and praise Him, for He is not far from you.  Let the Lord be your pillow; underneath are His everlasting arms, and He whispers sweet peace to your troubled soul.  We've all been there  ...  that place where our minds want to turn off because the pain is so great, pain of disease and suffering, pain of unbearable heartbreak, pain of destruction and loss, pain of abuse and neglect  ... it's PAIN and it's all spelled the same way.  The Lord is your shepherd, and He will carry you when you can go no further  ...  Rest now, in Him  ...

"He reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what lies

in darkness, and light dwells with him."

(Daniel 2:22)

 

Nothing in this life is so tormenting that Almighty God cannot reach it and remove it.  The Lord Jesus Christ has the keys to death, hell and the grave; He sits upon the throne of heaven and rests His feet on earth; His eyes run to and fro throughout the earth and from alpha to omega; His thoughts were the program before time began; one move of His finger and mountains move; He has a plan for darkness, torment, and terror  ... and it's a Lake of Fire!  Call out to the One from whom darkness runs  ...  The Lord is your light and your salvation; whom shall you fear?

We have come to the kingdom for such a time as this.  What?  It is the time for all the world to turn to the light, receive the light, walk in the light, manifest the light  ...  and the light is Jesus Christ our Lord; He IS Father in Creation, Son in redemption, Holy Ghost in regeneration; He IS the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of a departed one; He IS the soon coming King; He IS "The Omnipotent!"

"Turning 13!"

 

"As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at

 the coming of the Son of Man."

(Matthew 24:37)

 

 

We're about to be teenagers!  Huh?  We're coming to the Year of 2013.  The dawning of the "teens."  A time of changes in the "body," a time of almost adult but "not," a time of not being able to determine the results of decisions because the brain is still not fully developed yet, a time of wild and sometimes irrational behavior, a time of development and temptation, a time of beginning to become, a time of yearning to be understood  ...  "Turning 13!"

 

 

"The LORD saw how great man's wickedness on the

earth had become, and that every inclination of the

thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time."

(Genesis 6:5)

 



In Spiritual terms, we are embarking on the endtimes or the last days, tumultuous and misunderstood days, riotous and terror-filled days, changes in the Church body to accommodate Joel 2:28's Spirit upon all flesh days, the devil has little time so he unleashes it all days, the "where is the sign of His coming?" days, evil running rampant days, marrying and given in marriage days, eating, drinking, and revelling days  ...  just before the Rapture of the Church days  ... or as my Pastor so eloquently stated, "changes in the body to get ready for birth" (Kenneth Phillips) 

 

How was it in the days of Noah?  Clarke's Commentary says, "They spent their time in rapine, luxury and riot."  Sounds like today, doesn't it?

 

 

"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,

but only the Father. As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of

the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking,

 marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they

 knew nothng about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. 

That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man."

(Matthew 24: 36-39)

 

 

It is no doubt that we are in the endtimes; the days in which we are living are as Noah's days  ...  parading in the streets for same sex marriage; legalization of mind-altering drugs; vulgarity is a norm, nudity is an acceptable commodity on television, in movies, on billboards; laws being passed that are against the laws of Almighty God; the economy of the entire world is moving to a one-world currency; there is much talk of the "end of time"  ... 

 

When will it be the last straw that rises up to a Holy God and He "no longer strives with man?"  " And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man ..." (Genesis 6:3)  It will come, but earthlings are blessed, because the Lord Jesus Christ is long-suffering, and not willing that ANY should be lost or perish.  So, He calls to His creation with love and arms open wide  ...  the door is still open; the Blood of Christ is still flowing to cover the sins of man; the avenue of forgiveness still welcomes ALL who have sinned and seek to be forgiven; the Spirit of God still fills hungry souls.

 

End of the world?  Not yet  ...  there's still today  ...  What should we do?  Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.  For the promise is unto you and your children, as many as are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.  (Acts 2:38-39)  There will be an end when the Lord will remove the righteous to judge the unrighteous  ...  the Rapture of the Church; we shall be caught away with the Lord in the air.  Don't put it off; come to Jesus Christ while there's still time, because  ...  Behold He comes  ...  and we're "Turning 13"  ...
