Wanting More

Leviticus 9:23-24 He and Moses went into the sacred tent, and when they came out, they gave the people their blessing. Then the LORD appeared to the people in all of his glory. The LORD sent fiery flames that burned up everything on the altar, and when everyone saw this, they shouted and fell to their knees to worship the LORD.


Being where God wants you in His presence, is the start to receive His blessings. They came into His presences with other believers. They offered sacrifices both with praises and with their incomes. Then the people were blessed. God accepted their offerings and they worshipped. I have trouble understanding why we seem to have so much going on in our lives that we fail to do these things. God has given us everything even the air we breathe, our heart which He causes to beat pushing the blood He made throughout our body which He also made. We take Him for granted and fail to give Him our worship, praise, tithes, and time. We forget Him while we go on vacations, play golf, go fishing, hunting, shopping to name a few of the things we place before God. If you are content/complacent in your relationship with God then this message is not for you. I am not satisfied, I want more in my relationship. I pray that you want more also.

Time to Move

1 Peter 3:13-18(The Message) If with heart and soul you're doing good, do you think you can be stopped? Even if you suffer for it, you're still better off. Don't give the opposition a second thought. Through thick and thin, keep your hearts at attention, in adoration before Christ, your Master. Be ready to speak up and tell anyone who asks why you're living the way you are, and always with the utmost courtesy. Keep a clear conscience before God so that when people throw mud at you, none of it will stick. They'll end up realizing that they're the ones who need a bath. It's better to suffer for doing good, if that's what God wants, than to be punished for doing bad. That's what Christ did definitively: suffered because of others' sins, the Righteous One for the unrighteous ones. He went through it all—was put to death and then made alive—to bring us to God.

If God has laid something on your heart to do, then go after it. Do not worry about failure, it maybe the faithfulness that God wants from you. True failure is to not try. When God places something in your heart, then He will supply the provisions and protection to accomplish it. The only requirements are being led of God and following His plan of action in love. You have got to only go where God leads. Go out now and get busy doing the things that has been placed on your heart.

Clean It Up

2 Chronicles 31:1-3 (Contemporary English Version) After the Festival, the people went to every town in Judah and smashed the stone images of foreign gods and cut down the sacred poles for worshiping the goddess Asherah. They destroyed all the local shrines and foreign altars in Judah, as well as those in the territories of Benjamin, Ephraim, and West Manasseh. Then everyone went home. Hezekiah divided the priests and Levites into groups, according to their duties. Then he assigned them the responsibilities of offering sacrifices to please the LORD and sacrifices to ask his blessing. He also appointed people to serve at the temple and to sing praises at the temple gates. Hezekiah provided animals from his own herds and flocks to use for the morning and evening sacrifices, as well as for the sacrifices during the Sabbath celebrations, the New Moon Festivals, and the other religious feasts required by the Law of the LORD.

Hezekiah cleaned out the junk then he organized the house. Then he designated/budgeted the offerings. When doing the laundry after the dryer, my clothes are all mixed up. When the load is really big of a lot of small things it is easier to take the clothes and dump them on the bed and just start sorting through them, one item at a time. When things in my life began to over whelm me God helps me dump out all the stuff and sort through things, one thing at a time. I could not accomplish this on my own because I made the mess trying to do things on my own, so there is no way I could fix it on my own. I have to trust God, these things will not fixed themselves or disappear, but God will help me go through them, one thing at a time. Like the laundry, I cannot ignore things because it will only grow worse. It is time to face the problems, and trust God to help you sort through things.

Clear as Black and White

Romans 3:21-26 (The Message) But in our time something new has been added. What Moses and the prophets witnessed to all those years has happened. The God-setting-things-right that we read about has become Jesus-setting-things-right for us. And not only for us, but for everyone who believes in him. For there is no difference between us and them in this. Since we've compiled this long and sorry record as sinners (both us and them) and proved that we are utterly incapable of living the glorious lives God wills for us, God did it for us. Out of sheer generosity he put us in right standing with himself. A pure gift. He got us out of the mess we're in and restored us to where he always wanted us to be. And he did it by means of Jesus Christ. God sacrificed Jesus on the altar of the world to clear that world of sin. Having faith in him sets us in the clear. God decided on this course of action in full view of the public—to set the world in the clear with himself through the sacrifice of Jesus, finally taking care of the sins he had so patiently endured. This is not only clear, but it's now—this is current history! God sets things right. He also makes it possible for us to live in his rightness.


It is time we call sin, “sin”, and not be fearful of being politically correct. There is a line in a song which Carmen sang that said, “instead of coming out of the closet we need to clean it.” America cannot go on candy coating sin so that others won’t be offended. Sin is offense and it is past time to take a stand, to draw the line. The Word of God is clear and we try to hide the fact that if you are wallowing in sin you will die and go to hell. Being born that way is not an excuse the Bible tells us we are all born sinners. Because we were born sinners does not give us an excuse which would keep us from going to hell. There is a price, Jesus paid it but you can only claim this gift if the blood of Jesus has validated your soul. You cannot get into heaven without Jesus’ blood and His blood does not mix with sin. It is like oil and water, if sin is the water then the blood is the oil. When you are standing up to your neck in water the oil cannot cover you however if you step out of the water then the oil can cover you and will remove the water. You have got to get out of that sin so the blood of Jesus can cover you. It is not too late and you can never be too far in sin that the blood would not cover you.

How to Win

2 Corinthians 10:4-5 (New International Version) The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

Our battles are in the spiritual realm with our greatest battle being within our own minds. We must take captive every thought and submit it to the Lord. We do this by reading the Word of God, prayer and praise. When we read both silently and aloud, we plant the very words of God in our thoughts, training ourselves for battles. By speaking the words we speak life and power and release Heaven to do God’s will. When we read we learn the personality of God and who we need to become. When we pray we are not just talking to God but we listen to Him as well. When we praise we break strongholds and the powers of hell flee, they cannot be where the presence of God is and God inhabits the praise of His people. So today take the Word of God hide it in your heart, take time to talk to God and LISTEN to Him, and don’t forget to get your praise on, He deserves it and you need it.

Deliverance and Victory

Proverbs 21:31 (Amplified Bible) The horse is prepared for the day of battle, but deliverance and victory are of the Lord.

Do everything you can to prepare for the battle but know that the victory is the Lord's. My pastor spoke about 2 Chronicles 20 when several armies came against Israel. The word from the Lord was to go to meet them then watch the Lord's deliverance. They prepared for battle, went out to meet them with the praise and worship leading them to the battle and then they watched what God did to their enemies. So prepare for battle with praise and worship and go to face your enemies without fear for the battle REST in the Lord. All the children had to do was fight the internal battle with fear by turning it into faith, then God was released by their faith and praise to deliver and bless the people.
