Come to your senses !!! Your life with never be the same. 

Meaning of senses a faculty by which the body perceives an external stimulus; one of the faculties of sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch:

The word senses is referred to approximately 21 times. 

If we would take the time to analyze our senses and truly see what an amazing gift they all are!! There is no way we could not believe in miracles! What kind of mind creates such magnificent wonders? How do they work so perfectly in unison? And then they feed our mind, our hearts, and our souls with such precise information in split-second timing?  Sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch. Can you even imagine life without these precious gifts?  The richness of life would be a blank canvas and void of the beauty many of us take for granted. 

But as I began the exercise of discovering more about this word... I tried to relate this word to the Bible and I began to wonder do we give our Heavenly Father our all? Do we see Him with our spiritual eyes? Do we hear His beautiful voice? Do we touch His gentle heart? Do we know His scent? Do we taste His words and carry them deep within our hearts ?? Do we use all of our gifts, all our senses to thank Him for giving us the ability to paint a beautiful canvas of our individual lives..

Do you think He created these gifts for a reason? Perhaps to see His beauty? Perhaps to hear His voice? Perhaps to worship Him with all of our senses? Or do we only use a few? Or are we a blank page void of all the richness that He made available for us? 

In this journey, I have been blessed to see Him with my soulful eyes. I have heard His beautiful voice. I have felt Him deep in my soul. I have tasted His words as they flowed from my lips ... as yes I have smelled Him in a warm summer breeze. 

Not utilizing all our gifts only robs us of knowing our Heavenly Father intimately. We have difficulty understanding  His Power, His beauty, and His amazing gift of Love, and His brilliant colors. He is a beautiful wonder and we are His miracle children. 

I stand in awe.  When we say we LOVE Him? Do we love Him completely? Or do we only give Him a fragment of our true self!  He has proven it time and time again that He gives us His all!   

It’s Him, It’s always Him. 

Our God is in the heavens; he does all that he pleases. Their idols are silver and gold, the work of human hands. They have mouths, but do not speak; eyes, but do not see. They have ears, but do not hear; noses, but do not smell. They have hands, but do not feel; feet, but do not walk; and they do not make a sound in their throat. Psalms 115:3-8

Thank you, to you the reader for taking the time to read what has been inspired by a GREATER Love. When I started this adventure, He closed some doors but opened many others. And I remember saying if I could share His love with just one soul, I would consider this a win... My heart, vulnerability, and LOVE have been shared within these pages of this blog. So, it has been quite a growing experience. But HE knew that this would be the case!! I thank my LOVEs, you the reader, and my special friend Joann for walking through this adventure of discovering the greatest LOVE, I have ever known. HE WOWs me!!!

Victory Is Yours (LIVE) - Bethel Music | VICTORY

“God is the reason why even at the saddest part of life we smile, even in the confusion we understand, even in betrayal we trust, and even in pain we love.”

Meaning of confused (of a person) unable to think clearly; bewildered.

"she was utterly confused about what had just happened"

The word confused or confusion is referred to approximately 75 times in the Bible.

Where do we start? How do we do this? I am so confused about this word. 

Confusion is just a state of mind or does it affect other things? Must we go through a period of confusion to find the value of peace and clarity?? Our thought patterns are so complex. Here are 7 skills that we utilize in making a decision. “Observation, analysis, interpretation, reflection, evaluation, inference, explanation, problem solving, and decision making.” I believe when the process runs smoothly we do not have the time for confusion. It’s when we find ourselves stuck in any part of the process we began to second guess ourselves resulting in confusion, doubt, and unrest.

When I look back in time and reflected on this word, I began to analyze when I last felt confused. I actually do remember. I remember saying I was bewildered and confused?  It was a significant moment in time. It was one that made a dramatic impact on my life. 

I have always been pretty even-keeled. Pretty strong in how I approached life. But when I had a Holy Spirit Encounter, I remember saying I felt bewildered and confused and I felt like I was coming apart at the seams. I felt a love that was so difficult to describe and contain. I felt an energy level that would require little to no sleep. I felt an insatiable desire to talk to God and to learn about Jesus and the Holy Spirit.  All these things were so new to me.  Way out of my normal character and unfortunately, I was not prepared. 

However, to fully understand the dynamics and where I am coming from I will need to admit I did not have a “religious background” nor did I study the Bible. So, my zealous behavior was not my norm and I found it very confusing. But my desire to know more about this overwhelming love was far greater than any confusion I could ever feel.  So, I surrendered my heart and began my journey. 

He placed many people in my path and each one shared a nugget of wisdom. But the more time I spent with Elohim the more He wows me, the more He taught me, and the more He spoke to my soul.  He introduced me to His beautiful Son Jesus. I lovingly call Him Yeshua. I must admit I love His gentleness and loving smile, He knows how to brighten any day. 

I have held on tightly to God’s hand, as I traveled on this road of discovery, He reintroduced me to the Holy Spirit. I say re-introduced because my first encounter was with Him… But at that time, I was too naïve to know it was Him. He is the beautiful sweet breath of God Himself.

My confusion became distant with each passing day. And somewhere along the way, I fell in love with Him, all facets of Him. My Heavenly Father, His Son, and His very breath… He has held me in my darkest most confusing moments and shared in each of my victories no matter how insignificant and small they seem. I love how He guides my heart and gently leads me to discover things He wants me to know. 

And I think wow look what I found… LOL and then I smile and know in my heart He planted it there just for me.  

One of my many lessons during this amazing journey has been, there is no need for confusion. Answers may not be immediate. Learn to lean on Him. Learn to trust Him with all things, Learn to LOVE Him above else. Hold on to Him tightly. Clarity will come with each passing day. And you may discover that you just might fall in LOVE and feel a LOVE greater than you ever dreamed possible. 

It's Him! It is always Him.

You Know Me - Steffany Gretzinger | The Loft Sessions

Priceless in HIS eyes!

The meaning of bought -buy (bai) – present participle ˈbuying: past tense, past participle bought (boːt) – verb to get (something) by exchanging it for money. He has bought a car. 

I truly could not find the word count for the word bought. However, it truly is a hidden treasure...

If I asked you today how much are you worth? Would you begin to start to calculate all the things you do on any given day? Would you or could you come up with an hourly rate time how many years you will walk on this earth? Are you aware that it has been calculated that a stay at home mom job is worth approximately $160,000 a year.. calculate that times a lifetime.. hmmm 

So many moms feel that it is a beautiful but thankless job.. Do you ever wonder why as children we do not even think of the worth and value of the sacrifices made?? Until we become a parent we do not understand the true meaning of this love and sacrifices that are made on our behalf. 

But what does the Bible say about this treasure of the word bought.. It truly is a selfless act did you know Jesus thinks you are priceless. There is no greater value He places on each one of His children. We can not even begin to understand the depth of His love and sacrifice. Unlike growing into the understanding of an earthly parent we will never be in the position to fully understand the complexity of giving up your life so the multitude of His children can have a life... And although many of His children try to understand we are a selfish lot... 

Do we love Him with that type of sacrificing love? Do we even sacrifice our time just to spend time with Him? Or are there more important things to do... and we just try just to fit Him in when we have a few minutes to spare ... Just keep in mind He thinks we are priceless and even with all of our problems He bought us on the very day we opened our hearts! He did not wait until we were on sale!!! Because we are all His treasures!  

I can only try each day to repay this gift of love that He openly poured into my heart !!! And for the sacrifice He made for me I hope to prove to Him it was not in vain ... and that I appreciate Him more and more each day!!! To me He is priceless there is no other Love in our world like Jesus! 

It’s Him it’s always Him !! 

1 Corinthians 6:20 “For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which is God's.” King James Version (KJV)

13 Christ bought us with His blood and made us free from the Law. In that way, the Law could not punish us. Christ did this by carrying the load and by being punished instead of us. It is written, “Anyone who hangs on a cross is hated and punished.” 14 Because of the price Christ Jesus paid, the good things that came to Abraham might come to the people who are not Jews. And by putting our trust in Christ, we receive the Holy Spirit He has promised. Galatians 3:13-15

HOW HE LOVES // worship cover

“It’s not the will to win that matters. It’s the will to prepare to win that matters.” – Paul “Bear” Bryant..

Meaning of fan an enthusiastic devotee (as of a sport or a performing art) usually as a spectator. 2: an ardent admirer or enthusiast (as of a celebrity or a pursuit) science-fiction fan.

The word fan is in the bible approximately 8 times. However, it seems to be utilized differently than where this word seems to be taking me today.

When I think of a fan I see an image of an over-zealous person that can behave over the top when they get excited about, an entertainer, sporting event or a popular person or for that matter a subject that they have a passion and love for. I find this display of excitement amazing. I love seeing the passion the love for something that can bring joy to our lives. 

However, it is very perplexing to me how this excitement and passion does not seem to spill over when we speak of God, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit??  Is it because as Christians we call ourselves followers instead of fans?  I would like to explore the differences. I do believe a fan can buy in on the surface. They can even study facts, and truly understand the subject matter and they even began to think they know this person. But it truly is on a superficial level. This person can even become an “idol” some may even seem to worship this person… I have witnessed this at concerts full of young teens that clamor to get close to the entertainer. Some scream. Some cry. Some jump up and down… and shout accolades. 

What is the attraction? At the end of the day. This person knows nothing about you. They don’t know your name. They have not been there for you to see your victories and they have not held you in your darkest hour? I wholeheartedly believe they would not give up their life for you?? Sadly, I believe many would follow their “idol” if they were given the chance. There is a place in our lives for our entertainment... But possibly we have lost our real purpose. 

Where is our value system, has it eroded? This erosion has always been man’s downfall. “Idols” and their fans are not a new thing. They have been around since the beginning of time. But history has proven that they come and go like the days on a calendar. 

So, what makes a follower different. I am not sure about you. But for me to follow I must trust. I must get to know them. I must spend many hours getting to know their values. They must know me by name. An admiration, mutual love, and respect will be shared. And relationships will be built. 

To summarize a fan seems to be superficial and one-sided. A follower has more depth and definitely has more stake and heart in the game. 

So when we speak of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, why do we not show this over-the-top LOVE and excitement. Many are comfortable showing these emotions at an event. But sit on the sidelines on the most important game of their lives. Why are we afraid of what others may think? I do believe it's time… Time to wake up… the coin is being flipped. Pick a side…. A shallow existence in a fleeting moment of time of an “idol … Or a life for eternity that is much richer than we even deserve?? Who are you a fan or a follower??  Jesus is calling us by name and sharing His heart. He is asking us to follow Him. Trust Him. And be introduced to a love that is beyond this world. 

It’s Him. It’s always HIM!! 

Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life. John 8:12 

“Everything that I command you, you shall be careful to do. You shall not add to it or take from it. “If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you and gives you a sign or a wonder, and the sign or wonder that he tells you comes to pass, and if he says, ‘Let us go after other gods,’ which you have not known, ‘and let us serve them,’ you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams. For the Lord your God is testing you, to know whether you love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. You shall walk after the Lord your God and fear him and keep his commandments and obey his voice, and you shall serve him and hold fast to him.  Deuteronomy 12:32-13:18 ESV

“Selfish people tend to only be good to themselves… then are surprised when they are alone.”

Meaning of Selfish..  (of a person, action, or motive) lacking consideration for others; concerned chiefly with one's own personal profit or pleasure:

There are approximately 50 verses the speak to the subject of Selfishness.

In my opinion, being selfish is a very ugly trait... It is a human trait that raises its ugly head when we least expect it. It is self-satisfying for just a short time. But it will eventually implode leaving long-term scars... 

I do believe if you wear the suit of being human you can relate to this word... We have either executed this word or we have been on the receiving end of a selfish act... 

As we go through life we began to recognize these actions and separate ourselves from people that show these types of traits. Some people separate themselves because they feel you no longer serve their purpose. And that can leave heartfelt wounds. Some are so self-serving they do not even see the wake they have left in the heart of another.

We live in such an opportunistic world... It saddens me. How did we find ourselves here? Where is that golden thread where people put other people's needs before their own selfish wants? 

As always I turned to the Bible for answers. And then I came to this word from a totally different perspective. 

Sorry to say this, But it was not all about you!! 

My heart went to the most unselfish human we could ever grow to know. He has put all of mankind before His own needs. His own wants and His own desires. 

Who has this type of love, compassion, and heart?  Who thinks of us first always??? No matter what? He does this time and time again with no regard for His own needs??? 

Have you ever given it any thought? What does God need? What are His wants? What are His desires? Many will say He is God He has everything He does not need anything! If you have never thought of this, read this scripture below.

Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us.

Genesis 1:26. 

If we are made in their image. Why do we not believe He has similar desires just on a much bigger scale? 

And as I grow to know Him better each day. I have found myself asking. Do we love you enough to give you our best? Do we say to our Heavenly Father,  “ I want nothing from you today? I just want to thank you for the very gift of you!  

Father, you have so many people clamoring for your attention... Every moment of every day.  Please escape with me today .... Can I hide you in my heart for just a little while... Many see you as a genie and fill your request jar with many shallow wishes. 

Do you ever get any peace ??? Do you ever rest?? Or are (we) your children so selfish!  So self-centered. So preoccupied with self that we do not consider your feelings! your needs! your desires!  We seem to always come to you with open hands, with our wants, our needs, our requests?? 

Please come, hide in my heart for a little while... I want to give you peace... I want to take care of you...I want to love you as much as you love me.. I want to put you first... 

I feel I can never love you as much as you love me ... teach me!!! 

His amazing unselfish love is such a beautiful gift. 

I challenge you today to ask Him, to hide in your heart for just a while.  Put Him first. Ask Him what does He desire from you today? Cherish these unselfish moments with Him. 

Time with Him is priceless.  

It’s Him, It’s always Him. 

Philippians 2:3-4 “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.”

“When I open a door, no one can close it. And when I close a door, no one can open it. Revelation 3:7  

Meaning of reveal -  to make known through divine inspiration. Reveal may apply to the supernatural or inspired revelation of truths beyond the range of ordinary human vision or reason.

There are approximately 100 Bible Verses about Reveal. 

Do our human eyes have blinders on ... Do we skip through life hiding our little secrets ..  Do we only share things with people that we trust deeply?? You know I do believe we all have those preverbal skeletons in our closets...  is there a darker side within our souls? 

I do believe we all have been victims of something that we may not fully understand. There a tug-a-war for our very souls. 

I can share before my Holy Spirit encounter. I like many of us may have danced on the edge of darkness. The darkness I speak of is not what you may think. It’s a lack of knowledge. Not knowing that we all have been given the right of passage to the Beautiful Kingdom... and if we know this? And do nothing to prepare ourselves for this journey then the knowledge we think we have is void of substance, action and becomes buried deep, within. It has chosen to lay there dormant void of life with a bleak look into eternity. 

If you will still your mind and listen with soulful ears you will hear our Savior knocking on the door to your heart. Just open your heart to Him, He will reveal He beauty, He grace, and His amazing love... You will learn so many things about love and life... He will gently guide your life and reveal things to you about you...Things you never even thought of, many were hidden deep in your heart... He will cleanse your soul. And you will experience a beautiful light feeling in your heart. He will free the child within... and you will be loved beyond what you ever dreamed possible. And you will have newfound hope for your future. 

He will wow you... Have you ever been wowed by a King ???  I have !!! It is so difficult to put Him into words ??? I have tried and tried ... I can say my life has never been the same... He is the beautiful light at the end of the darkest tunnel...... You will find that He will rescue you from any situation no matter how large or insignificant you may think it may be. 

Shh, Listen?? Can you hear Him? He is knocking ??? 

It’s Him. Trust Him. Love Him.

I am the Light of the world” (John 8:12)

Hello (God it's me) Lyric Video B/W - Myracle Holloway ®2016 Myracle Mile Music

We are to seek the Lord Almighty Himself. Not for what he can do for us, but for who He IS.

The Hebrew word for “face” in the Old Testament is often translated as “presence.” When we seek the face of God, we are seeking His presence.

Seek the LORD and His strength; seek His presence continually!" (Psalm 105:4, ESV)

What is this love that drives me to seek you? What have you done with my heart? You have given me a thirst in my soul that only you can satisfy. You come to me with the freshness of the morning dew. You come to me in the stillness of the night? You whisper words of love to my heart that reaches places I did not know even existed. 

I ask, what is it that you desire of me? Why do pursue me with such relentless vigor? What can I possibly have that you desire so? I have nothing that is worthy of you. 

I can only give you my heart ... my love? 

Don’t keep me waiting to hear your answer? The anticipation is all-consuming.. all distracting ...  It fills me every waking moment. 

This all-consuming magnetic pull on my vulnerable soul.. is beyond my understanding. 

I wonder when I am in your presence will I have the courage to speak? Or will your majestic splendor render me speechless?

My soul's desire is to stand in the shadow of your grace. I crave to feel your beautiful presence in the deepest chambers of my heart.

I close my eyes take a deep breath and whisper your name, Elohim again, and again. I am so desperate to just see your beautiful face... 

I find I must go deep within my soul to find you. My mind must surrender allowing my heart to lead me to you... My soul begins to open like a beautiful flower awakening on the first day of spring.  My breathing becomes shallow with anticipation. My spiritual eyes find the freedom to open slowly...

And in that beautiful moment in time you invite me in ... It’s there I see you like never before!  Your beautiful face and all your radiant glory... 

It’s you!  It’s you. Your beauty. Your grace. Your love... there are no words. 

My heart is overwhelmed with an unexplainable love that is so difficult to contain.

I am mesmerized... I am consumed as your love engulfs every part of my mind, my body, and my soul.. . I can only babble utterances that I myself do not fully understand... You render me speechless... 

My heart desires to stay here in this moment forever?  There is nothing in our world that can even compare... 

I know my request is not possible while my feet are still bound to my earthly existence. But know that there are times my soul feels torn between two worlds ... yours..and mine.

I will never stop seeking your face, I will forever yearn to hear your voice and I am committed to learning the rhythmic beating of your heart. 

You have left me with a growing desire to understand this amazing gift of you !!! You have become as important as the very air I breathe. 

Your name will remain forever on my lips as I feel your name is etched within my heart. 

Teach me your thoughts. Teach me this beautiful language of love that you share... Teach me ... 

It's you............. It has always been you... #Breathless

Dustin Smith - "Encounter (I Want To See Your Face)" (Live)

God made us to crave—to desire eagerly, want greatly, and long for Him. -Lysa TerKeurst

Meaning of - Crave definition, to long for; want greatly; desire eagerly: to crave sweets; to crave affection.

The word crave is referred to in the Bible in 24 instances. 

What is this burning in my soul?  What is this void that only our Creator can satisfy?  Was this yearning to search for the beauty He possesses placed in my heart at birth?  

Did He plan the perfect date and time? He knows how to entice us by whispering our names? Was this His plan! Has His plan for us been unfolding since the beginning of time?? How is He so sure we would come! There was no doubt in His heart that we would answer His call... 

He knows how to touch each one of us in the deepest chambers of our hearts... He gives us a sweet taste of heaven and places a craving within our soul that only He can satisfy.

It is not of this world! 

It’s a spiritual journey of LOVE that only He can share with us... We must never stop seeking His presence. His Love is beyond our human understanding ... 

I am helpless in His presence. He knows how to capture the essence of who we are and who we ever hope to be. 

I have to ask, I must know, How do I penetrate His Heart !! 

He knows I will be relentless in my pursuit... 

Will this craving in my soul ever be satisfied in this world? Or will I be whisked away to places that I can only dream of ...  as I meditate on His majestic power, beauty, and grace!

For now, I can only close my eyes and see Him, with my spiritual eyes, 

feel Him in my beating heart and find Him in the deepest most intimate places of my soul. 

It’s Him!!! It has always been Him !!  He wows me.

Seek and deeply long for the Lord and His strength [His power, His might]; Seek and deeply long for His face and His presence continually. Psalm 105:4

And My people, who are called by My Name, humble themselves, and pray and seek (crave, require as a necessity) My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear [them] from heaven, and forgive their sin and heal their land 2 Chronicles 7:14
