BURNING!

As we look up to the Heavens; His fire is burning and it glows.
May that fire falll upon us, and purify our souls.

Lift your eyes toward Jesus, See Him burning on His throne.
I fall on my knees in worship. Now He's burning in my soul.

Let's keep our eyes on Jesus; and let the whole world know
of His great love and power, as we let Him take control.

Just a spark can change a nation, with the fire of Heaven's glow.
Lord Jesus burn within me. I let go. Lord, take control.

(Lord... Touch a coal to our lips. May your fire do it's work in us... and through us.)

God-Focused

I lay down my life. I take up my cross. I die daily.
I will not be offended. Lord change me.

Set me free. Break the chains. No more bondage.
It's only You and me.

It's not about what anyone else thinks or says or does.
I am not defined by afflictions.
I am defined by who God says I am.

I am free! The chains are gone.
I bow down. I lift others up.

Forgive me Lord, for being so focused on my own desperation
that I could not see the needs of others.
Make me God-focused. Let me see as You see.

Help me to love those who are hard to love.
I give myself completely to you. I am wholly Yours.

Unity, Healing and Freedom - Under the Willow Tree

Worship and Wisdom from Under the Willow Tree...

It's time for the Body of Christ (us) to Face Forward! The past; even yesterday; is behind us. It's time for the Body (us) and the Head (Christ) to become unified and whole. HE is restoring the years that the locusts have eaten.

Joel 2:²⁴ The threshing floors will be filled with grain;
       the vats will overflow with new wine and oil.
 ²⁵ "I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten—
       the great locust and the young locust,
       the other locusts and the locust swarm ^[a]—
       my great army that I sent among you.
 ²⁶ You will have plenty to eat, until you are full,
       and you will praise the name of the LORD your God,
       who has worked wonders for you;
       never again will my people be shamed.

We are HIS body! And His body is being set free and healed NOW! Grab hold of it now!

The pruning process may be painful, but it's necessary if we expect to bring forth new growth.

John 15:⁵"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. ⁶If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. ⁷If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you. ⁸This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples. ⁹"As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.


God is NOW healing His body; that we may "grow and flourish". The Head controls the body. But there has been a 'disconnect' between the body and the Head. No more disconnect! It's up to us to Get Connected if we expect healing, unity, and freedom.

Get connected. Plug in. Allow God to search your heart. Go through the process of being transformed into His likeness. Let go of old ways of thinking. Let yourself be broken. Let Him tear down your walls. Let Him remove any roots of bitterness in  you. Pray for a Teachable Spirit. Let Him remove any selfish ambitions. Then begin to grow and flourish. And be healed, in Jesus' mighty, holy, powerful name.

Be like the Willow Tree: Planted by streams of living water that brings forth fruit in it's season.

Ezekiel 17:
 ⁵He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful field; he placed it by great waters, and set it as a willow tree.
 ⁶And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward him, and the roots thereof were under him: so it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs. 

AMEN!

The Mystery of God

Stop trying to figure out God. Why would you want to remove the mystery of the Almighty? Why would you want to shrink Him down to human size? To do so would leave you with no faith. If you view Him in human size, how much of His power has been removed from your faith?

He is God Almighty! He is omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent. He is too big for human minds to comprehend.

Just believe, trust, and ask for what you need. Rest in Him. HE is our strength; our hope; our joy; our peace.

AMEN!

Sickness in the Body... of Christ!?

Sunday, Jan 4, 2010... (Lisa C. Hill)

WE ARE the body of Christ. Ther is sickness in our/His body. How can this be? Sickness has NO RIGHT to be in the body of Christ... (His Body!) THE BODY has been in disagreement with The Head. There's been a disconnect. WE (The Body) must come into agreement with God.

Stop focusing on the media; the government; and your problems. SHIFT your focus! Let God take control of your thoughts, then speak the Word He gives you. He has a personal word for each of us. When you hear Your Promise; Your own personal, HUGE vision and all of His promises, let hope take root and begin to grow.

NO LOOKING BACK! The past is the past. Start believing His truth. There's a refreshing wind blowing Right Now! It's bringing health and wholeness to His Body. His body CANNOT be sick any longer. The time is NOW! The refreshing wind is blowing. Revival is coming. It's time for His pure, spotless Bride to come forth. The Head controls the body; not the other way around. We've tried to take control. No more!

Face forward. The past is behind. It's time for the Body and the Head to become unified and whole. He is restoring the years that the moths and locusts have eaten! WE are HIS body! And His body is being set free and healed, NOW! Grab hold of it NOW! Be like the Willow Tree; planted by streams of Living Water; that brings forth fruit in it's season... The NOW season.

The pruning process has been done (2009). It's now time to grow and flourish. God is NOW healing His body. The Head controls the body. No more disconnect. Get connected! Plug in. And be healed.
