Praise God from whom all blessings flow. December 25th, 2023, has been a wonderful day of experiencing, His Presence, His Peace, and His Power., After being wonderfully reminded by Dr. Carolyn Carter Townsel through her Christmas Meditation; through Powerhouse Ministry, "Don't Miss Jesus; we were told exactly how that could happen,
When you get caught in the events of the day; and not recognizing it as the Lords Day first. (Oh it's just another day).
When you sit back and look at all the many accomplishments you may or may not have achieved in the last eleven months, God not only did we miss you, we left you out of our plans on purpose, because our plans were bigger and better than your plans for us.
Lord and you have been so kind to bless all of our plans, and even gave us what we wanted and we are still not satisfied, there is more that I won't.
Empty Cradle, empty cross, and yes empty hearts, still no room in my life.
Oh I will give you room to come in, but just don't move anything,don't change anything because I have everything set just right. You are welcome to stay as long as you like, but don't touch anything. I have everything just the way I like it!
My reflection today is this, God is making sure in so many ways that He has our undivided attention in the quickly approaching end of 2023. He has allowed us to be stationed in places in our lives, individually as well as collectively so, to find the lost place in our souls.
Only those that have an ear will hear this, others will hear and scoff at it and Will walk away the same; we did not just miss Jesus today, we have missed him in one way or another way before now. We have been doing our own things for a long time, we have purposed in our hearts what we would do, how we we do it and when. God allowed us to carry our plans through.
The question is, "At what cost to yourself and others have you paid to have it your way. And you still looking for more. You are still Not satisfied yet!
The Message " Don't Miss Jesus "
Lord Don't let me/us miss you again.
In the space of the stable , the few that were present, angels, star over the barn, Mary, Jospeh the animals others came later; at the moment of His birth, HE WAS THE CENTER OF Every Heart and Mind. Jesus the greatest gift given to mankind that keeps on given. If you let Him In, allow Him to rearrange your life , your plans , your goal and your direction.
Hey I know, what; Why don't you walk behind him, that's the follow position, and let Him Lead You!
Instead of you leading Him where you want Him to take you.
Separated from all the plans of the day, I am glad to hear the joy and laughter of family and ministry family, and friends, silence in words from my mouth, but filled with praises from my heart, my pen overflow with joy just to share, this testimony; "l DID NOT MISS JESUS TODAY🩸🔥❤️
Shalom,
