I have an interesting word on my mind this morning:

FAITHFUL

What does that word mean?

1. full of faith
2. steadfast in affection or allegiance
3. firm in adherence to promises or in observance of duty
4. true to the facts, to a standard, or to an original

What does Faith mean?

a:  allegiance to duty or a person  loyalty

b:  belief and trust in and loyalty to God

c: firm belief in something for which there is no proof

d: complete trust

As I had yet another heart procedure yesterday (they were checking my arteries) I was so grateful for the faithfulness of my husband and family.

As many people carried out their part of this whole morning, I was grateful for their knowledge and their faithfulness.

So today as I think of all the things that go on in my world, IN ADDITION TO MY WONDERFUL FAMILY, I am grateful for the faithfulness of:

• My Pastor who prays for and serves our congregation.
• My church Family and leaders.
• My accounting buddy who has carried on with all things during this heart experience.
• For the person who takes care of our yard.
• For our mail delivery and garbage pick-up people.
• and on…and on…and on!!

BUT I AM MOST GRATEFUL FOR THE FAITHFULNESS OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST!

So let’s look at what we are faithful to.  Do people look at us and see a person who is true to their word and faithful to follow the Lord Jesus Christ?

I know you have all heard the old question; which came first, the chicken or the egg?

Well I ask this morning which comes first; Faith or Faithfulness?

I think it is a circle! When you have Faith in God or Faith in the results of what you are doing, you become faithful to that person or task.

On the flip side of that if you are faithful to a task or a person even when there is no Faith….you will soon find yourself filled with Faith.

Being faithful produces faith and having faith produces faithfulness!!

So when you feel you spirit being drawn to something, be faithful and God will fill you with Faith.

If you have faith in the Lord Jesus or one of his mighty warriors let that faith show itself in your faithfulness.

1 Corinthians 1:9 (KJV)
⁹ God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

2 Thessalonians 3:3 (KJV)
³ But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.

Proverbs 28:20A (KJV)
²⁰ A faithful man shall abound with blessings:

Matthew 25:23 (KJV)
²³ His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

1 Timothy 1:12 (KJV)
¹² And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;

BE FAITHFUL IN WORD AND DEED!

________________________________________

Father thank you that you see our faithfulness even when others may not!  Help each of us to be faithful in all we do and say!  In Jesus name I pray!

 

Have an awesome week and be faithful!

Love,  MeMaw

One night this past week we had a pan with stuck on food pieces.  It looked like it would never be clean and might have to be thrown away.

However I put a little dishwashing detergent on it and filled it with water and let it soak overnight.  Guess what!! The next morning the stuck on particles just washed right off.

I could have struggles and scrubbed and fumed and worked and I might have gotten some of it off but I chose to soak it over night in water and dishwashing liquid and it was easy to just rinse on off.

Why am I sharing a story about my pan with you? Because there is a very special spiritual truth in this story!

In our walk in this crazy world we live in we sometimes get particles of left over stuff stuck on us. We may have fretting, unforgiveness, impatience, irritations, prejudice, roots of rejection, etc just stuck and hanging on pulling us down in our minds, wills, and emotions and especially in our spirits.

These things tend to make us feel like we are never going to be clean and we just need to be discarded, thrown away, no longer useful.

But may I tell you today that if you will soak in the water of the word and just let the word fill you through and through and the Holy Spirit (which I equate with the dishwashing detergent) do a work in you then you can be clean and useful to live life as it is supposed to be lived and to point others to the giver of life!!

We can fret, fume, be depressed, blame everyone else and just give up or we can choose life by soaking in the word and letting the holy spirit cleanse us.

The Psalmist David said it so good:

Psalm 51:2 (KJV)
² Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

Psalm 16:11 (KJV)
¹¹ Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

 Psalm 97:5 (KJV)
⁵ The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

I say to you today that everything you need and everything you need to be free from is found as we sit in His presences and let His word fill us. There is wisdom, joy, peace and freedom found as we soak in His powerful presences and let His words of life give life to our spirit.

Psalm 140:13 (KJV)
¹³ Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.

Nahum 1:5 (KJV)
⁵ The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.

1 Thessalonians 5:23 (KJV)
²³ And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Whatever is stuck, whatever is missing, whatever needs cleansing and filling is taken care of as we soak in HIS PRESENCE!

What do you need? Stop trying to scrub and fret and take care of it, just soak in the Love that the Father has already proved to us! Then the things we struggle with will just rinse right off!!

________________________________________________

Father thank you that in your presence is fullness of joy!  Thank you that all we need is ours as we spend time just soaking in your word and in your presence.  May I never depend on myself for cleansing but always snuggle close to you. Bless all who read this with a desire for you and a desire for your presence.  Amen

Let the Creator God cleanse and set you free!

Love, MeMaw

Psalm 139:13-14 (KJV)
¹³ For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.
¹⁴ I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

What a scripture to meditate on this morning.  We are uniquely made by the hands of the creator God.  What peace and security is in the knowledge that we are not just a product of someone’s act of love or passion but we were planned and formed by the creator of the universe.

Psalm 8:3-6 (KJV)
³ When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
⁴ What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
⁵ For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
⁶ Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:

The most amazing thing to me is that God made us with love and care and put within us everything we need to fulfill his plan for us.  His plan is a good and fruitful plan and He is watching over us and longing to be able to fellowship with us and meet all our needs.

God sees me right now and knows the desires of my heart and the thoughts and meditations of my heart.  He knows the way that I take and He is there to lead and guide as I open our heart to Him.

God is love and He formed me with loving hands and His plans for me are amazing!

Did you notice that the above scripture tells us that he gives us dominion over everything He made? We can stomp on evil and declare victory!

Isaiah 30:21 (KJV)
²¹ And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

Open your spiritual ears and you will hear the voice of the Lord God Almighty!

What do you see when you look in the mirror? Do you just see a person struggling to get from one day to the next? Do you just not see anything worthwhile? Or do you see yourself as a son and daughter of the most high God?

I challenge you to look at yourself and say: “You are a child of the most high God and you have authority over all the works of evil and you have dominion over everything you will face and you are an amazing and wonderful creation of the God of the universe!”

I appeal to you today to understand that in this whole vast expanse of universe, the creator of it all not only knows you but hears every thought, every cry, and every fear of your heart.

Psalm 91:1 (KJV)
¹ He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

What a warm and secure place to be under the shadow of the almighty.  To be under a shadow you have to be really close.  As we draw near to God and snuggle up next to Him we are under His shadow which is protection, love and peace.  He is fighting our battles for us and He wins every time!

OH HOW I LOVE JESUS AND HOW AMAZING THAT HE LOVES ME AND CREATED ME ON PURPOSE AND FOR A PURPOSE.

Rest in His love today and snuggle don’t struggle!

______________________

Father thank you that I am fearfully and wonderfully made!  You are my refuge and my shield and I rest in your love and care.  Touch each person who reads this with the assurance that they are uniquely made and you are with them.  In Jesus name I pray! Amen

 

Snuggle up to the Father God!

Love, Me-Maw

JUST BLAME IT ON AGE!!!! I TOTALLY FORGOT TO DO ME-MAWS THOUGHTS YESTERDAY!!! DID YOU MISS ME???

Last night when I remembered I had not done my normal Tuesday Me-Maws thoughts I felt totally blown out of the water.  I knew it was Tuesday all day but never thought of my normal sharing!

__________________________________

This morning I want to talk about preparation. Since my episode with my heart I have been thinking that unless Jesus comes back, one day (a long time from now) I will lay down this house of clay and see my savior face to face.

We have wills but they are very old so we are having them updated and will add a living will and power of attorney.  All of this to make things easier for those left behind.

As I thought about what preparations people make for living (jobs, vacations, visits with family) and for the end of life, it occurred to me that it is sad that people are not as concerned with what happens after their life here on earth, as they are with living and the process of dying.

Hebrews 9:27 (KJV)
²⁷ And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

THE TRUTH IS UNLESS THE RAPTURE TAKES PLACE WE WILL ALL DIE!!!!!

2 Corinthians 5:8 (KJV)
⁸ We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

If Jesus Christ is your Savior: through Faith in Him you can be confident that as your eyes close here in death you will be in His presence.  It will be like it was when you were a child and went to sleep in the car or couch and woke up in your own bed.  You will just pass from the realm of the temporary to the realm of the permanent!!

It has been a long time since I have seen a sign that used to appear a lot on billboards, etc: the words were: “PREPARE TO MEET THY GOD!”

I ask you this morning: are you prepared for eternity?  Let me assure you that life is short and eternity is the ultimate destination for each human being.

James 4:14 (KJV)
¹⁴ Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.

There is another place that those who reject what Jesus did for us on the cross will go when they die. Not the presence of Jesus but to an eternal hell.  I know that people do not want to think about this but the truth is that you will spend forever in the presence of the creator God or in a place of eternal torture.  The choice is yours!

Luke 16:23A (KJV)
²³ And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments,

So if heaven is real and we can look forward to being with Jesus what should our attitude about this life be?

Philippians 1:21 (KJV)
²¹ For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

Romans 14:8 (KJV)
⁸ For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s.

We are children of the Most High God and we should live act and walk like sons and daughters of the Creator God of the universe. As we allow the holy spirit to live through us we can show the world Gods great love and sacrifice by our lives.

We should not live to ourselves but live to represent Jesus in every way!

Life is short: eternity is long: Prepare to meet your creator God!!

_______________________________________________

Father, my desire is that all who read this are prepared to meet you face to face.  We do not have promise of the next breath but as we walk with you we can be secure in the knowledge that we are in your loving hands.  Touch each of us with a renewed vision of representing you here on earth.  Thank you for your love and care. In the mighty name of Jesus of Nazareth I pray! Amen

Have and awesome week::prepare!!

Love, MeMaw

I spent Saturday and Sunday night back in the hospital.  My Pacemaker seemed to be not doing right and my heart rate was up and down. But a check of it shows it seems to be functioning properly.

On one of the ceiling tiles above my head as I was laying in the hospital were words I want to discuss:

STOP

DON’T FALL

CALL

This was a reminder to call a nurse and not try to get up by myself.  As I kept noticing the sign I began to think how that applies to our Christian walk.

When we are up against a struggle or just living life 101 or pursuing a dream or desire we need never try it alone.

Trying life alone results in falling down.  I know that we can fall down and then get up again, but isn’t it much better if we don’t fall down at all.  Then we do not need to heal and be repaired.

The secret to that is to STOP and CALL on Father God for help with each thing we do!  Then we DON’T FALL because the Creator God is helping us in our weaknesses.

2 Corinthians 13:9 (KJV)
⁹ For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong.

Hebrews 4:16 (KJV)
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.

The admonition to come boldly reminds me of how foolish I felt calling the nurse each time I had to go to the bathroom because I was quite capable of walking the few feet to get there.  However I boldly pushed the call button because that is what I was told to do.

No matter how much we feel like we can run our life ourselves, we must come boldly and request help from the one who is ready, willing and able.

Jeremiah 33:3 (KJV)
³ Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

This is an amazing promise.  Our Father God will not only help us but He will reveal to us His power in showing forth great and mighty things.

Jeremiah 29:12 (KJV)
¹² Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.

He is listening!! Call!!

Isaiah 45:3 (KJV)
³ And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.

We then declare His name by our example!

Isaiah 12:4 (KJV)
⁴ And in that day shall ye say, Praise the LORD, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted.

Psalm 116:2 (KJV)
² Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

Psalm 18:3 (KJV)
³ I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

Doing life without letting God through the Holy Spirit guide and help us is breaking the STOP, DON’T FALL, CALL rule.  You may make it sometimes but when you CALL on the one who is always there to help you: you will never fall.

Don’t be stubborn!!!!! CALL!!!!!

____________________________________

Father thank you that you are my constant companion and guide! Thank you that I do not have to take one step without you holding my hand.  When I am weak you are strong and hold me up always.  Thank you for your Love and Care! Invade each person who reads this with the knowledge that you are on their side and stand ready to help when they call on you! I pray this all in the name of your precious son Jesus Christ! Amen

 

STOP! DON’T FALL! CALL!

Love, Me-Maw

John 8:36 (KJV)
³⁶ If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

Galatians 5:1 (KJV)
¹ Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

I AM STILL WEARING THE SLING TO KEEP MY ARM IN PLACE.  SO ONCE AGAIN I AM TYPING THIS WITH ONE HAND. TOMORROW I GO TO THE DOCTOR AND I AM EXPECTING TO BE FREE FROM THE SLING AND BE ABLE TO MOVE AND USE MY ARM.

I declare to you that this sling and not being able to use that arm and not being able to lay on that side is the most irritating thing I can think of. Everything I do takes a lot more effort than it would if I could use both hands and arms.

Therefore I feel like I am in bondage to this thing. I am looking forward to being able to move freely.

In the same way we are in bondage to the sinful nature we are born with until we receive Jesus Christ as our Savior. Then we are set free from the sinful nature and are given a new nature.

So let’s say that I go to the Doctor tomorrow and he says I can ditch the sling and move my arm freely. But what if I then say: “I am used to this sling so I just want to keep wearing it.  It’s not so bad.”

You, along with the Doctor would think I had lost my mind!

May I tell you, that is what many of us do in our Christian walk! We have a Savior who has set us free from the traps of sin! He has provided all we need or desire and yet instead of receiving the good and walking in a new and better way, we want to hold on to the old because it is familiar!

Galatians 4:9 (KJV)
⁹ But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?

How sad that we who know Jesus as Savior sometimes choose to walk in bondage rather than build a vital relationship with the one who set us free and walk in and enjoy that freedom.

WHAT ARE WE SET FREE FROM? Here are just a few of the bondages from which Christ set us free!

>condemnation

>worry

>fear

>anger

>mistrust

>unforgiveness

>lack of self-worth

>thinking like the world system

>hate

>prejudice

>acting like those who do not know Jesus

Instead He fills us with, faith, love, peace, confidence, forgivness, etc.  But we must allow Him Lordship in our lives and then we can walk in divine freedom. We must trust Him with our entire being.

Do we trust the Creator God enough to give Him control?  What a fellowship, what a joy divine when we are leaning on His Everlasting Arms!

———————————————————–

Father thank you for freedom from the mold of the world system! Thank you that it was for freedom that Jesus lived, died, and rose again. Help me never to return to the bondage the world tries to place on each of us. Bless each person who reads this with the understanding of true freedom! In Jesus name I pray! Amen

 

My desire is that each of you walk in truth and freedom!

Love, MeMaw

Psalm 31:24 (KJV)
²⁴ Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.

Proverbs 3:5 (KJV)
⁵ Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

For those of you who may not be aware of why there were no Me-Maw thoughts last week I will give a quick update.

On Saturday May 6, I entered the hospital emergency room very sick and proceeded to be told my heart rate was at 27 and I was critical (should be 60 to 100). The nurse told my daughter-in-law later that they did not think I would come back from that.

After all the shots and emergency measures: they put into my body a temporary pacemaker.  My own heart was not beating enough to keep me alive so the pacemaker was doing the work.

This was followed by a permanent pacemaker on Monday.   So last Tuesday morning instead of sending out Me-Maws thoughts I was still in ICU.  I was released Tuesday afternoon.  I am wearing a sling on my left side where the pacemaker is so that I will not raise my arm or move it much.

I will wear this until next week when I return to the Dr. So I am typing this with one hand.

The Dr. has indicated there are issues with a heart valve so I have no idea what all that means however I know who holds tomorrow and I fully Trust HIM.

I decree and declare that I am healed by the stripes of Jesus.

I say to you this morning that prayer works!  I am able to type this today because prayer works!

This day’s writing will be shorter because I am using one hand but there is a thought I want to leave you with.

If the human heart is not working or stops working it does not matter how great the rest of your body is.  Your arms, legs, kidneys, lungs, etc, may be perfect but if your heart is not working you will die. The heart is the seat of life.

May I tell you that it does not matter what the rest of your life is like, if your heart is not right with God, you are spiritually dead!

The spirit of man is the life of man! Take care of it. Give complete control to Jesus.

Please continue to pray for complete healing in my body. God still has much for me to share.

Father thank you for life, breath, and peace!  May we take care of our spirit man and release all to you.   Amen

Philippians 4:8 (KJV)
⁸ Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Philippians 4:8 (MSG)
⁸ Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse.

Philippians 4:8 (AMP)
⁸ For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them].

What are you thinking about right now?  What are you dwelling on this day? What is causing you to lose your peace?

Philippians 4:8 sums up what we should be thinking about.  I have put three versions of this above and each one is clear that we are to be thinking about the good and not the bad and ugly.

As you are getting ready for your day; driving your kids to school; driving to work; taking care of an elderly or sick loved one; facing a court hearing; facing an impatient and cruel boss; facing life in the real word: I ask you what are you thinking?

Maybe you are thinking: “If I can just make it through this day.” or “If I can just make it until payday.” or “Why is my husband acting this way?” or “My children need more than I can give them.” or “If this traffic would just move.” or “I cannot believe what the Doctor said, how can I tell my family?” or “I cannot take another day at my work place!” etc, etc, etc.

I encourage you today to try following the direction in the scriptures above.  Put it to the test!!  Begin thanks in your thoughts and soon they will flow to your mouth and to your life.

Begin to think on the good things.  Begin to thank God that you have a job and thank Him for patience to deal with what you face today with His love flowing through you.

Begin to thank Him for your children and thank Him that they are going to do great exploits and change their world for Him!

Begin to thank Him that you are wonderfully and fearfully made and that He will never leave nor forsake you and your family.

Begin to think about the times He has spared you from disaster and begin to think about the fact that the God of the universe sees you and knows every situation in your life.

As you face or think about each discouraging situation or impatient or ugly acting person, in your mind begin to praise God that you are able to see the situation because you are not blind and hear the hurtful things said because your ears work.

Then begin to thank Him that He is Lord and you are awesome and with Him flowing through you, you are well able to handle it.

I ask you to be aware of every thought that you allow into your mind and as you change your thinking, you will change your direction.

THINK ON GOOD THINGS!!!

GOD IS GOOD…..THINK ABOUT GOD!!!

________________________________________________

Father God, I come to you in Jesus Name.  Thank you for the Cross, thank you for Salvation, thank you for eyes to see, ears to hear, and a mind that is filled with your thoughts.  Thank you that your plan is to give us Peace, Joy and Love and to provide all of our needs.   May everyone who reads this begin to take control of their thoughts and think on good things!  Amen

I love you all dearly!

“My mind is alert and my heart is receptive!”

This is a phrase of a declaration of the Word of Almighty God, the Bible, that both Pastor Rick and Joel Osteen have the congregation declare at the beginning of a sermon.

It is important that our mind is alert and our heart is receptive to the Word that is brought forth from the anointed man or woman of God.

However this morning that phrase keeps running through my mind and spirit and I want us to look at that in regard to our entire life.

As we take each step and go each place through our day I ask you: WHAT IS OUR MIND ALERT TO AND WHAT IS OUR HEART RECEPTIVE TO?

Romans 14:22 (KJV)
²² Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he ALLOWETH.

Titus 3:8 (KJV)
⁸ This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.

Colossians 3:23 (KJV)
²³ And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;

What are we allowing in our life that does not honor the Lord Jesus Christ and our commitment to Him?  What do we need to let go from our life so that we can be an example in word and in deed of one who has been redeemed by receiving what Jesus did on the Cross?

What is our mind alert to: the words of Almighty God that we have hidden in our heart or the words of the social systems of this world that are bent on pulling us from God’s best for our lives?

Is our mind alert to those around us and the possibility that we can encourage and lift them up and even help in tangible ways? Or do we walk through each day trying to grab all we can out of life regardless of who it hurts?

Or maybe we just get so wrapped up in our own lives and situations that we are not allowing the spirit of God within us to help our minds be alert to not allow evil to influence us to be less than God intended us to be.

Do we allow evil to infiltrate our mind by what we allow through movies or music that lifts up ungodly lifestyles rather than honor the Creator God?

We are light and salt to those all around us.  Have we allowed the standards of the world to hide our light and take the taste from our salt?

What are you allowing in your life that when examined in the light of Jesus Christ will for you, is not drawing anyone to Him?  What are you filling your mind with that is changing your mindset on what to allow in your life?

The phrase “It won’t hurt to………….” is a lie from the enemy of your soul that hates you.  We must say with the apostle Paul:

Acts 17:28 (KJV)
²⁸ For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

What are you alert to and what are you allowing?

_________________________________

Father forgive us our neglect of understanding that our lives are beacons to those around us. Forgive us for letting our minds be tuned to the world’s ways instead of your voice.  Forgive us for allowing things into our lives that do harm to your kingdom and our walk with you. Fill us with a fresh determination to be careful what we allow and what we are alert to.  Renew in each of us a right spirit and a clean heart and life.  In Jesus Name I Pray! Amen

 

Allow God’s Best in you Life!

Love, Me-Maw

1 Peter 2:9 (KJV)
⁹ But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:

I got out of bed this morning knowing that royal blood flows through my veins.  I realized as I began to move about that my Father, the Lord God Almighty Loves ME and desires to walk with me and communicate with me.

1 John 3:1 (KJV)
¹ Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

The world may not recognize that you are royalty but that does not make it any less true.  I saw a movie once where a Princess came to America and tried to live among common people for a little just to see what it was like.  All the time she was being searched for because it did not matter where she happened to be she was Royalty and could not change that.  In the end she took her authority. I believe I also saw a movie similar to that but the Royal one was a Prince.

This morning I ask you: Do you know who you are? Are you taking your rightful place as the sons and daughters of the Creator God?  Have you put on the Royal Robes or are you trying to integrate yourself into the world system and hide the fact that you are Royalty?

May I tell you that if you are hiding from the truth of your Royalty, the one who knows you best and Loves you most has His Holy Spirit nudging and drawing you back to all that you are and all that He has provided!

2 Thessalonians 1:2 (KJV)
² Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Being Royalty not only gives you authority but gives you personal access to the throne room of God.

We know who President Trump is but we cannot walk into the white house and up to the living quarters and just walk in.  But Barron Trump, the President’s son, can walk right into the living quarters and right into the room where his father is with no worries about not being allowed or accepted there.

We may know who God is but when we receive the price Jesus Paid for us on the Cross we become Sons and Daughters of the Creator God.

That means we can walk into the throne room of God and just get a good hug and have conversation with our Daddy God and have our concerns listened to and our needs met.

WE MUST ADJUST OUR THINKING!!!! WE ARE ROYALTY!!! OUR FATHER IS THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

I can change the world around me and bestow Blessings on others and love them as Jesus Loved and pray for them and their needs.

A world full of needy people (No matter how successful…without Jesus we are needy) are waiting for you to step into your Royal Robes and take authority over the evil that abounds in this world. If we will walk in the light of who we are, we can dispel the darkness.

Glory to the Lord Jesus!  He paid the price on Calvary and that means that I am a Daughter of the most high God.  I am Royalty and I will walk as part of the Royal Family of God and spread Gods Love to stamp out the darkness.

YOU ARE ROYAL, ACT LIKE IT!!!

Father,

I come to your throne room through the blood of Jesus Christ. I thank you that your Love and Grace and Peace are surrounding and filling me with all I need to fulfill my Royal position.  I take authority in the name of Jesus over all the lies of the enemy that we are not what we should be. Thank you that we are complete in you and we are the light of the world.  Bless each person who reads this with the realization that they are Royalty.   Amen

Sons and Daughters of the King: put on the Royal Robes and take authority!

Love, Me-Maw
