"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!"
