I have
spent a few hours this morning reconciling my year of 2012. A few major things
transpired last year in my life, huge decisions made, bold steps taken, once
again, I have lived recklessly abandoned to my faith in Daddy.
Time. It’s such a valuable word when it comes to understanding Him.
Have you ever been on track with something, you were totally flowing, enjoying and loving every moment and abruptly it comes to an end? You ask yourself: Was it an idol in my life? Did it feed a personal need or something bigger? Are these situations really from God?
What about a season in your life that you just quite could not figure out and you made decisions to not plug in and endure but leave and be restless? How does one silence the voice of man and totally tune into His? What does it sound like? What is the difference between a messenger and the Holy Spirit? Respect to great leaders out there, ultimately He is the greatest of them all.
How many times have you had lists of tasks to complete, yet that still small voice of the Holy Spirit kept prompting you to just spend a little more time with Him and forget about whimsical things that grasp our attention? I know that to spend time with Him is like smelling a mug of fresh coffee, it gets me going, there’s a mysterious smile on my face that only my heart can explain yet my daily routine contains toil, trouble and heaviness and I still go about doing it!
You hear people speak of such righteous living, they seem as if they have the best relationship with God and here you sit totally convicted of having salvation been poured out to you yet you remain redundant in your very being. Why am I not on fire like they are? We do believe in the same God right? I am living the way you have asked me to, now what?
I can say yes to all of the above with capitals! In a way, we all can, truthfully.
This year was my very first year spent in church when the clock struck midnight to bring us into a new year. Being surrounded by His people in that dynamic moment was incredible! A triumphant cry of praise went up to Heaven as we all shouted, “3, 2, 1…..HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!”
My support structure was more evident than ever – the church, praise and communion with fellow believers and with Daddy.
There are so many messages for 2013 from the different churches out there…..I needed more than just a corporate message, I needed to hear from Daddy for my life specifically, seeking Him fully.
And here it is:
1 Corinthians 1: 4 – 9
“Every time I think of you – and I think of you often! – I thank God for your lives of free and open access to God, given by Jesus. There’s no end to what has happened in you – it’s beyond speech, beyond knowledge. The evidence of Christ has been clearly verified in your lives.
Just think – you don’t need a thing, you’ve got it all! All God’s gifts are right in front of you as you wait expectantly for our Master Jesus to arrive on the scene of for the Finale. And not only that, but God himself is right alongside you to keep you steady and on track until thing are well wrapped up by Jesus. God, who got you started in this spiritual adventure, shares with us the life of his Son and our Master Jesus. He will never give up on you. Never forget that.”
The Message Remix
The more I read this message, the more I see Daddy showing me. My spirit has come alive, the fire of God is burning and stirring my heart that beats for Him.
Lately I have been reading one particular scripture over and over and over again, not in my bible but in my days passing through technology, listening to people, reading tweets, daily devotions, articles, testimonies, random books……Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these?” He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.”
John 21:15
Oh boy, corporate worship has gone up a whole other level for me, it can happen anywhere!!!!

Off-course
I am constantly looking for opportunities to spread His love, but knowing that
He desires a relationship with us, I need to feed that aspect too.
Saints, he has given us wisdom and knowledge, which is our stability in these times we are facing and the most important thing is that we have the strength of salvation. It’s not me being an oracle of great wisdom this morning but it’s in His Word, Isaiah 33:6.

Knowing
the very same Holy Spirit that raised Christ from the dead is available to us
24:7, 365 days a year, births a whole new spiritual insight for me and my
message for 2013 from Him.
Daddy shares with us in our daily living, He will never give up on us (no matter our indifference).

His ardor
never cools. (Ardor: passion, devotion, love, enthusiasm, zeal, fervor,
eagerness, dedication) Beautiful way to
describe our King J
I am now more aware that there are so many people standing on my behalf praying, just like I stand in the gap for the persecuted church and keep my brothers and sisters in prayer for their suffering. Let’s not stop this.
The evidence of Christ alive in me is the very fact that He chose me and it’s so clear. There’s His voice right there. It’s distinct.
I am grounded! We walk the streets with such great anointing in our spirit – Peter’s shadow healed, the Word says that greater things will be done in our times, I am so eager to see this unfold.

I am so
hungry, aggressively pursuing His promises.
There are going to be rocky times ahead of me this year, no doubt but He promised that He’s going to keep me steady and on track until He wraps up everything I need to accomplish.

Facedown I fall as His glory shines around.
Last year Daddy ended my year symbolizing 4 important game points I needed to be made aware of and now I get to see it in action for this new year.
2012 ended on a strengthened note only to begin 2013 with a champion’s spirit! Here we go.....cheers to 2013!
