REJOICE

Let us love the LORD together! Let us grow in the grace and knowledge of the LORD Jesus! Let us seek to understand who He is and what He has done! We must understand the gospel! We must understand how it affects our life and how we can apply it in every part of our lives. Oh let us love the LORD Jesus! Oh let us know Him! Let us cast off our old man by the grace of God and let us put on Christ Jesus and make no provision for the flesh to gratify its desires. Let us cleanse ourselves of every defilement by the blood of Christ Jesus. Since we have very great and precious promises and since we have been given every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, LET US REJOICE!!! Oh let us REJOICE because Christ has come. Let us rejoice for what He has done! let us rejoice because Christ has done what we could not. Christ has reconciled us to God by being resurrected by the power of God. Christ defeated sin! He defeated death! He conquered my heart and brought me into newness of life by the same power that God used to raise Him from the dead. Let us Rejoice because Christ has imputed His righteousness to us, in us, and we now have peace with God, the creator of heaven and earth! Oh shout to the LORD all the earth! Lift your voices to your God for He has redeemed His beloved! He has given her a spotless robe! He has made us joint heirs with Christ Jesus and He sees no blemish; not one speck of impurity is found on us. Rejoice all you His people for Christ is the propitiation for our sins!! He is our love. He is our life; the very substance that keeps us alive!

Oh come let us adore Him! Oh come lets us Adore Him! Oh come let us ADORE HIM! He is the Christ! He is LORD! Every knee will bow, on the earth, under the earth, and in heaven, and every tongue will confess that JESUS is LORD!!!!! He is King of kings and He is the Lord of lords! None compares to His greatness. None can comprehend His goodness! Who has been in His presence that has not fallen to their face and cried out for mercy? Who can stand before God, in all His glory, with 6 wing creatures hiding their faces and covering their feet, without the mediator Christ Jesus? Who can utter a word of defense to the LORD most High? Who Can stand in His presence? Who can, truly, understand His forgiveness?

What is this awesome grace that is given to us that we should be called sons and daughters of the LIVING GOD???!!! What wondrous love is this that we should be called friends of God? What joy over flows in our lives when we can boldly go to the throne of God Almighty, creator of heaven and earth, to the throne of grace, to receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Who can stretch out the heavens or tell the ocean that it can only go this far? Who can breath life into dry bones and turn hearts of stone into hearts of flesh? Who can hang the earth on its axis and tell the moon when to shine? Who is it that has the power to give life and take it? Who has the sight to see all that space holds? Who can see the bottom of the ocean or the center of a planet? Who can hold all the waters of the earth in his hand? Who can call into existence the things that do not exist? Who can create everything that was ever created and have nothing be identical, down to the very last molecule that was ever created or will be created? Who can comprehend time? Who could ever touch the sun? Who could be a friend to the worst of sinners? Who could sacrifice their own son for a hate filled adulterous heathen that despises the very notion of forgiveness and love? Who can understand the heart of a person? Who can know what tomorrow will bring? Who can know their time for life? Who can know when death will take them? Who can see their future and what will become of them? Who can hold the earth in orbit, while painting the stars and galaxies, while breathing life into the womb? Who can cause light and darkness to separate? Who can tell the mountains to rise up and the valleys to sink low; who can tell the birds to fly and the deer to run and be obeyed? I will tell you who... It is Yahweh!!!!

It is the LORD God Almighty!!! It is Jehovah!! It is JESUS!!! Oh yes my brother and sister this is our God, the one true God, the ONLY living God, that can do all these things!!!! He never grows weary nor does He ever require sleep! He is before time, during time, and after time. He was the first and He will be the last. None can compare to His greatness! None can comprehend His Goodness! Their is no one like our GOD!!! There is no one like YAHWEH!!!!! He is Jehovah! He is "whatever my people need me to be"!!

Psa 118:1 Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!

Psa 139:17,18 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast the sum of them! If I would count them, they are more than the sand. I awake, and I am still with you!

Psa 121:3 He will not let your foot be moved; He who keeps you will never slumber.

Psa 119:81 My soul longs for your salvation; I hope in your word.

Psa 135:13 Your name, O LORD, endures forever, your renown, O LORD, throughout all ages.

Psa 108:1-5 My heart is steadfast, O God! I will sing and make melody with all my being! Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awake the dawn! I will give thanks to you, O LORD, among the peoples; I will sing praises to you among the nations. For your steadfast love is great above the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the clouds. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth!

Psa 79:8,9 Do not remember against us our former iniquities; let your compassion come speedily to meet us, for we are brought very low. Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of your name; deliver us, and atone for our sins, for your name's sake!

Psa 145:13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures throughout all generations. [The LORD is faithful in all his words and kind in all his works.]

REJOICE FOR YOU ARE REDEEMED!!!!!!!

Theory of Love

What is this measure of love I find creeping up in my heart? A flood of emotions melt all thoughts of pain in the past. How is this possible and how can this be? All these emotions come so naturally. There is a scare and there is a warning for these emotions will give no mercy. If acted upon nothing short of destruction will over take my soul. These emotions will promise fulfillment and sanctification but only through deceit. How can I cave into these desires and nullify Gods peace. Get understanding and gain wisdom, these shall guide the feet of the righteous. All wisdom points me down the path of patience and grace. Patience in waiting on the Lord and grace for trusting that He will not withhold any good gift.

How shall I go against all that I believe and become a traitor to my very mind? Love so refreshing and growing so strong. A friendship lasting, raising to the everlasting throne. Questions flooding friends mouths and ears trying to figure out if what they see is real. A love so transparent that it draws all men to crave and desire more.

Do you destroy a friendship for a chance for love? Is it better to allow this friendship to grow into an irresistible grace. A power so real that it will paint a perfect picture of true love. A love flowing through every vein and pouring out of every smile. To allow myself to surrender to this love is not needful to bring about the obvious! This love conquers all true possessors of it's grace. All thoughts of past satisfactions become void of all attraction. The times love was thought to be found is now seen as obsolete. Forgiveness for past mistakes washes all shame and jealousy away.

How can one look at all the faults and failures and still look into my eyes with a longing, rather wanting. A wanting for my love, my embrace. What can compare to this love? What selfish want could ever satisfy? A connection so close to grabbing a hold of the very craving given before the foundation of the world. Should a love so great and so strong be rushed into like soldiers storming a castle? Should a love so precious and so fragile be handled like a baby? How shall a love like this be embraced? How can a man accept a gift that can never be repaid or compensated for?

How is it that a vessel that is stained can be seen as spotless? How can some one still love though all defilement's are laid out in the open to be seen. Can a man create a love as rich and perfect as this? Can a man change his very nature to hide all signs of imperfections?

Where does this love come form? Where does this love abide? Is it not with the one that is taken captive by it? Can this love be awakened by the feelings and emotions of the flesh? Is this Love awakened by the very voice that cries into the depth of the natural longing? Oh let this love not be rushed into nor let it be overlooked.
Why do so many allow their hearts to be overrun with lesser loves? Why did I let down the guard of my heart to wants that would rip it apart?

True love is conquering and captivating! True love is not rushed but embraced! True love is not shown by jealous actions leading to lack of trust and questing. True love is always wanting and longing for the conquering joy that over took them. True love learns how to please, gratify, and intoxicate the one that captured their soul with a love that is far more passionate than any love that can be created within oneself.

Oh, do not allow lesser and unworthy loves to take over your passion and mind. Only a conquering love is worthy to be embraced. Love that is patient, kind, peaceful, rejoicing in truth, enduring all things, always seeking to please others, is a love worth fighting for. This love that conquers every corner of the heart is a love that abides forever. This love will be embraced by all captive to it!

Get wisdom and get understanding for they will prove to be a light in darkness. Oh let this love not be rushed into nor let it be overlooked. Only let this capturing love be tested! Resist it, fight it, and make it prove itself to be true. Follow not reason nor intellect! Guard against it, learn about its motives and tactics, and understand its desires. Then and only then can you be freed from its wrath! Only through Patience will this love be seen as beautiful. Pursue love, yes, and seek it out, only do not be deceived by the emotions! For true love is only tested by patience! At the proper time and when the battle seems overwhelming, the conqueror will over run you and true love will pour in like never experienced. This love can not be explained with elegant words that charm the ears and captivate the emotions with such impact that it devastates the mind. Only do not be deceived by the lesser loves that promise an embrace that will be sweet as honey but upon guarding against them they are proven to be bitter, weak, and not worthy to be the captor of your heart. Remember, test the love that approaches the battle field. Only do not be deceived by the beauty of it's promises. Guard and never let down your banner and you must never allow a lesser love to capture your heart! Seek out true love and it will be found by patience and guarding.

Nothing would please lesser loves more than for us to believe their promise for a wedding feast only to leave you as an adulterous bride.
