STOP & LISTEN
Build your life upon a firm foundation.
The Wise and Foolish Builders
"Why do you call me, Lord, Lord, and do not do what I say? I will show you what he is like who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice. He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete." Luke 6:46-49 NIV
God is the spirit & the vine. All those who come from him are good and will be blessed. There will comes of pruning and times of harvest. You must have faith through the pruning and stay strong in the harvest. All who are not attached will break and fall away.
There is a fence in-between you and Jesus. Is it holding something in, or keeping something out? - When we were walking up the hill there was a house with the door open & when we were walking back down the door was closed.- What are you hiding from?
To the ends of the earth.
We must all make sure to remain connected; attached to the vine. If not we will wither away to nothingness. Our faith will be stretched during this mission, but with the right authority.

Lord, you know their needs before we do, before our prayers are spoken, they are already in the process of being answered. you are the one and only, Lord Almighty, the Alpha and the Omega. Lord, we are all empty vessels, waiting to be filled by your grace and sent out in to the world to proclaim your glory. Pray we would be wise in times of trouble and willing in times of need. Grant us the peace and knowledge we need to speak your glory.
Lord you know our unspoken prayers,
Our hearts,
&& minds.
Amen.
May everything I do be in your will God. Push me, strengthen me, hold me close, tell me your deepest, darkest secrets. To the ends of the earth, the depths of the sea, to the heavens and back is how far my love stretches for you. I miss you. Please open my heart again. Change my ways. Hold my heart and hold it tight. Allow my heartbeat to be in line with yours. Break my heart if need be Lord. I fall at your feet begging for mercy and grace to cover me. At your feet I lay.
Pick me up.
Amen.
Psalm 33
New International Version (NIV)
1 Sing joyfully to the Lord, you righteous;
it is fitting for the upright to praise him.
2 Praise the Lord with the harp;
make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre.
3 Sing to him a new song;
play skillfully, and shout for joy.

6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,

let all the people of the world revere him.

who considers everything they do.

16 No king is saved by the size of his army;
no warrior escapes by his great strength.
17 A horse is a vain hope for deliverance;
despite all its great strength it cannot save.
18 But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him,
on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,
19 to deliver them from death
and keep them alive in famine.
