DANCING WITH GOD

My daughter was given this mediation by a young man in her Christian singles' group.

God's heart desire is that Believers be one with Him (John 17).

“ When I meditated on the word Guidance, I kept seeing "dance" at the end of the word. I remember reading that doing God's will is a lot like dancing. When two people try to lead, nothing feels right. The movement doesn't flow with the music, and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky. When one person realizes that, and lets the other lead, both bodies begin to flow with the music. One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back or by pressing lightly in one direction or another. It's as if two become one body, moving beautifully. The dance takes surrender, willingness, and attentiveness from one person and gentle guidance and skill from the other. My eyes drew back to the word Guidance. When I saw "G:” I thought of God, followed by "u" and "i.” "God, "u" and "i," and “dance" are in the word “guidance.” God, you and I dance. As I lowered my head in prayer, I became willing to trust that I would get guidance about my life. Once again, I became willing to let God lead.”

May you abide in God as God abides in you. The Song of Solomon 1:4 completes this meditation with “Draw me, we will run after You.” Let us dance before the Lord in gladness with praise and thanksgiving to Him. He will then draw us after Him to walk in all of His wonderful ways. He desires that believers become “one” with Him to extend His kingdom and to be able to bless believers with all that belongs to Him. God is such a "giver." Dance together with God, but always let Him lead. Trust God to lead and to guide you through each season of your life.

THE TIME HAS COME! THE TIME IS NOW!

Dr. Seuss wrote a book called The Time Has Come, The Time is Now in which he tells his character, “Marvin K. Mooney, you must go now!” It was a cute book to show a child that he or she must be obedient to one’s parents with respect to the laws that are made for the family for everyone’s good (In this case, “Child, you must go to bed now!”). So God in His book, The Bible, has given precept after precept to show that being obedient to Him, our Creator, is to bless Him and be obedient to Him with respect, knowing that all of His laws and precepts are to be followed and obeyed for His child’s good and for the good of all the family. The “time has come, the time is now” for Christians to

(1) Get in a place of intimacy with Jesus to hear His Voice on a daily basis,
(2) Have an expectancy – expect God to fulfill His promises to you,
(3) Go for revelation, beginning with the revelation of your

“daily bread”

that comes from reading and understanding God’s Word.

GET IN A PLACE OF INTIMACY WITH JESUS – Have a daily prayer time and a daily time of spending time in His Word. Prayer is a two-way street of communication. You should hear His Voice as you read and understand His Word. He should hear your voice as you talk with Him about your life and as you give Him praise for His goodness and grace! (John 1:12 "to as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name"; Revelations 3:20 "I stand at the door" (of your heart) "and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup" (fellowship) "with him, and he with Me").

HAVE AN EXPECTANCY – God’s Word will never fail! When you believe His Word for your life and expect, in faith, He will perform His Word in your life. (Psalm 18:30 "As for God, His way is perfect: the Word of the Lord is tried: He is a buckler to all those that trust in Him." His way "is tried" and it all ways works. His Word never fails!; Romans 15:13 God is a God of Hope. "May the God of hope fill you up with joy" (an eternal substance, not temporal happiness). "Fill you up with peace" (no confusion, no strife), so that your believing lives!"

GO FOR REVELATION – Your “daily bread” is the provision that God has for you when you seek Him daily. He will “reveal” to you how to be an “overcomer” in this life and the eternal one to come, when you spend time in His Presence. He is the Answer to all of life’s problems, and He knows how to cause you to be a success – every time – through your obedience to Him and in your trust of Him. He is our Creator! There is nothing to hard for Him! Sometimes, it is “hard” for us to get in that right place of intimacy with Him to hear His Voice and then be obedient! You must respect that God has our best interest “at heart” and believe what His Word can do for you! (Psalm 18:28 . "For You will light my candle" (my lamp and my ability to see): the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness." You will give me revelation when I need guidance; Colossians 1:27 "Jesus is your hope of glory!"

Believers walk in “everything” that God has given as a privilege and an honor, and believers should give respect and honor to God the Father for those privileges. God has given us the office of a priest as a privilege and as a gift of service unto Him (Number 18:7); AND He has given the office of a king as a privilege of leading by submitting to His authority (Rev. 5:10). A priest enters within the Holy Place in the Temple to serve the Most High God, Jehovah God Almighty. Under the power of the anointing of the Holy Spirit, the believer is called to minister the gospel as a priest and servant of God leading others in worship to our Creator. God has, also, given the believer the office of a king to have dominion and authority over the earth and all that is in it.

The believer has been chosen, elected, equipped, and upheld by God for a special priestly and kingly task. That task is to be an ambassador of reconciliation, obedient to proclaiming the “good news” and the name of Jesus that is above every name, delivering captives, and recovering sight to the blind. Amazingly the good news of salvation is offered through men, for Jesus Christ has chosen men to be his messengers, servants, and ambassadors. The priest in us is the ambassador of reconciliation while the king in us decrees and declares the good news of salvation. If the Church were deeply conscious of their divine task, they would recognize their time of visitation and serve the Lord with all of their talents and abilities realizing a great harvest of souls reaped. The Church should recognize that we are the weapons [the arrow of God’s deliverance] prepared by God, and in the hands of God, to destroy His enemy forever. This task can only be fulfilled as the Church learns that (agape/hesed) unconditional, everlasting love that motivates to action is the only weapon that will destroy evil. As kings and priests unto our Almighty God, we are to bring God’s love and salvation to the ends of the earth completing our task of obedience as a servant. Never-ending, unconditional (agape/hesed) love will find a way to reach the lost.

RESOLVING POWER

Several weeks ago, the Lord said to me, “What you have asked for, it’s coming, but not the way you think that it is.” I had been asking for all of my family to come quickly into the kingdom of God…before it is too late. I’m believing that “all” of my family will know the Lord and live with Him (and me) forever! I had also been asking the Lord for enough finances to absolve my debts and enough “to give to every good work that the Lord puts on my heart.”

I thought, “O.K.,” it’s not coming the way that I think it will come. How will it come?

Then several days later, the Lord said to me, “It’s coming on the next wave of resolution.”

I thought that’s odd…a wave of resolution. It didn’t mean a lot to me, but I wrote it down and kept thinking about…a wave of resolution.

Today the Lord had me thinking about a piece of information He had given me about a month ago. At the time, it was an interesting piece of information, but it didn’t really seem to “fit” with anything that I was thinking or writing. The information was about the “resolving power” of an optical lens. Then as I talked to my sister on the telephone, God began to put things together for me.

“It’s coming on the next wave of resolution.” In optics, the resolving power of a telescopic lens determines the telescope’s ability to distinguish between two close, but distinct stars. An apparent single star viewed with a cheap telescopic lens turns out to be a pair of distinctly separate stars when viewed with a telescope of better optical quality. “This quality is known as the resolving power of its optics.

With this in mind, “It’s coming on the next wave of resolution.” To resolve something is to come to a truthful conclusion about something. I believe “resolving power” is coming to the Body of Christ, so that praying people can “see” the truth about a situation or situations that “heretofore” had seemed to have no solution. With “resolving power” to see the situation more clearly and distinctly, praying Christians will have the ability to pray correct “Word-based” prayers that bring quick results for the Lord and His kingdom.

Even the world seems to know that the recent world events of tsunamis, multiple intense hurricanes, famines in many nations, and pandemic, deadly avian flu and destroying aids epidemics are signs of the coming battle of Armageddon that announces the end of this earthly age as it is. According to the Barna Research Group four out of ten Americans believe that the physical world will end as a result of supernatural intervention. The idea that the world is ending is so widespread that warnings are even popping up on the Internet. Because the coming of the Lord is imminent, the spiritual battle will become more intense. The devil wants to keep people in bondage to him in drugs, immoral acts, and depression. Therefore God’s people will need the ability “to see” more keenly “into the spiritual realm” to know how to do spiritual battle more precisely to put the devil in his place, under Christ and the believers’ feet, and see more people delivered from spiritual darkness. I believe that the Word of wisdom, the Word of knowledge, and Discerning of spirits…gifts of the Holy Spirit listed in I Corinthians 12…flowing through sanctified Christians that know how to pray and speak “life” to others is going to be the “resolving power” that causes many people to have “changed lives.” People that you have believed in prayer will receive the salvation of the Lord will “suddenly” be brought into the kingdom. Situations in families, in business, and even in government that seem to be impossible to change for the better will “suddenly” be changed. It (salvation and deliverance for yourself, for loved ones, for enemies) is coming on the next wave of resolution where Christians “see” the will of the Lord in a “clearer, more distinct” light and will be able to affect situations with more “resolving authority and prayer power.”

Apostasy in the religious world is becoming so apparent with gay priest and "inclusion" beliefs, which is leading toward a one world false religion, mystery Babylon. I believe that the True Church is becoming the Church Triumphant that will

usher in the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. Christians will live so resolute a godly "lifestyle" and be so tuned in to God's voice 24/7 that we will have the "goods" (the Presence of God flowing out of us) to see people receive the power and salvation of God through us, His faithful servants...the Body of Christ!

WORDS OF WISDOM

BELIEVING is: loving, trusting, giving of yourself wholly or "being apart of Him." It is the unqualified committal to believe that GOD is all in all and that HE will NEVER (NO, NOT NEVER) fail you...that HE IS SUFFICIENT for every need that you have! Believing then is acting on God's Word by faith by being obedient to His Word.

FAITH is: trust, confidence, reliance, and is belief-activated. God has given every man "a measure" of faith to be able to act like and imitate Him...to do things the way God does...by faith.

PRAYER: The effective prayer of a righteous person avails much with God. This kind of effective praying is from a pure heart before God. It is prayer that is persistant, stedfast, enduring, continual, constant, committed, unfailing, unchangeable, and unwavering. To pray without ceasing is to be in His Presence at all times with a "hearing" ear to hear what the Spirit of God says. For prayer is not a "one way street," but prayer is a "two way street." It is communication with God...to talk to Him and to "hear" His voice. Prayer is intimacy with God for the continual building of His kingdom in our hearts, and therefore in the earth. His desire is that His children continue to carry out His will on earth, as it is in heaven. Prayer is our "life support" line to our Source, Jehovah God, as we lift our voice to Him with our requests and needs and our love for Him! He is always there, Jehovah Shammah, to hear our prayers. It is up to us to seek Him early and hear what His guidance and direction is for us daily. He gives us our daily bread (our revelation of guidance, comfort, and exhortation) to take us through each day, as we come close to Him and live in His presence...as we live "in Christ" by abiding in His Word and obeying His commandments! HE IS A GREAT GOD to care for us so completely!

FOUR WAYS TO WALK IN AGAPE/HESED LOVE (unconditional love):

1. Walk in the Spirit of Christ (abiding in His Word)

2. Judge yourself (according to His Word) (Lest He have to judge & correct you.

3. Walk quickly in forgiviness - toward others...and toward yourself. God forgives all repented of sin with no condemnation.

4. Release your faith daily (by positive confession of His Word) to walk in love.

PERFECT: means "peace." We have a "perfect" God who is The Prince of Peace. Perfect also means full development into the maturity of perfect godliness (Philippians 3:12), not "sinless perfection." We all fail from time to time. Our anger gets the best of us or we get depressed about something. We fall from "walking in the Spirit" in our humanity at times. When we are quick to repent of our sins and short-comings, God gives us His "perfect" peace, as He reconciles us to Himself, and gives us His "perfect" strength to continue "in Him." Then He continues to grow us up in the "grace" afforded us by His Word to be "a perfect man (or woman) that is equipped to hear His Voice and do His bidding. He is a good God...all the time! And His desire is that we draw close to Him and run with Him to see His kingdom come in the earth! (Song of Solomon 1:4.)

I PRAY that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him: that the eyes of your understanding be enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, and what is the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of His mighty power , which He wrought in Christ Jesus when He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places. (Ephesians 1:17-20)

UNITY IN THE BODY OF CHRIST

Psalm 133:1

“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren (the family) to dwell together in

UNITY.”

To be UNITED as a CHURCH BODY (family), we must:

“Love (agape/hesed) one another.” John 13:34-35

“Be devoted to one another.” Romans 12:10

“Have the same mind toward one another.” Romans 12:16

“Accept one another.” Romans 15:7

“Greet one another.” Romans 16:16

“Care for one another.” 1st Corinthians 12:25

“Bear one another’s burdens.” Galatians 6:2

“Forgive one another.” Ephesians 4:32

“Forbear one another.” Colossians 3:13

“Build up on another.” 1st Thessalonians 5:11

“Minister gifts to one another.” 1st Peter 4:10

“Don’t speak evil against one another.” James 4:11

“Confess your faults one to another.” James 5:16

“Pray for one another.” James 5:16

GOT GODLY, PERSEVERING CHARACTER?

GOD IS LOOKING FOR THOSE WHO WILL FAITHFULLY SEEK

HIM EARLY AND HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT IS SAYING.

“O God, thou art my God; early will I seek Thee:

my soul thirsteth for Thee,

my flesh longeth for Thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

(2) To see Thy power and Thy glory,

so as I have seen Thee in the sanctuary. …Psalm 63:1-2 KJV

We must thirst for God and His righteousness as a dying man in the desert searches for water. Jehovah God is our Source of all things. He is Jehovah-nissi, our sail and our water, in the desert. He is our Victory in all things if we “doresh” (Hebrew word) or research Jehovah, study Him, and seek to know His knowledge and wisdom…in other words find out what He is like and that He will be our Victor and Deliverer, if only we will trust in Him!

DARE TO BE THE SUCCESS THAT

GOD HAS PLANNED FOR YOU TO BE!

WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE! As you seek, study, and research God and allow Him, He will change your character to have more of the adamant, persistent, and resolute attributes of Jesus Christ. His will for your life is that you be changed from glory to glory by being conformed to the image of Jesus Christ in all of His successes over the flesh, the devil, and sin (Romans 12:1-2). However, success for the Christian cannot be measured by worldly standards. Material and social prosperity are blessings from God to be used to profit and extend the kingdom of God, not just to be used on your vanity. Money is the medium of exchange in our world, and money must (amount of and use of) be handled and submitted to God. Man cannot serve God and mammon (money – Luke 16:13), but God can tell you how to use your money for His kingdom (and for your blessing). God does not “mind” you having money. He just does not want money to have you! God looks for a willing and loyal steward who desires to hear His voice and walk in His ways [even with his money]. The truly successful Christian is one who knows what God wants him to do and then does it! Seek God and His kingdom first, and all these material, social, and spiritual blessings will be added to you; for God has said, “I love them that love Me; and those that seek (doresh) Me early shall find me” (Proverbs 8:17). As you mature in the spiritual things of God, He can add more blessings to you. However, Jesus cannot add true spiritual riches to a spiritually immature person, if he cannot even be faithful in how he deals with unrighteous mammon (money, tithe, offerings) that he can see([Luke 16:9-11). Jehovah God wants you to know Him…how He thinks and how He operates [You can know this by reading His Word-His love letter to you.] He want you to appreciate Him, love Him, and obey Him in all things. Abraham, Joseph, King David, Solomon and others had the blessings and riches of God added to them. So can you!

HOW TO BECOME A POSTITIVE CHRISTIAN

1. KNOW. Know your God; and then know who you are in Christ Jesus. Know that Jesus Christ is Saviour and Lord of your life (Romans 10:9-10; John 3:3; 1st Peter 1:23). Know that no one nor any devil can steal your salvation, and that it is yours as long as you desire salvation in Christ Jesus (John 10:27-29; 1st Peter 1:5; 1st John 5:13). Be confident in the wisdom God gives you of what the Word says about you. “Incline your ear unto My sayings. Let them not depart from your eyes; keep them in the middle of your heart, for they (my Words) are life unto those that find them (make them part of their character), and health (healing) to all their flesh. Keep your heart with all diligence: for out of it are the issues of life” (Proverbs 4:20-23/parapharaseof KJV). Remove sin immediately, by being quick to repent and receive God’s forgiveness and always praise Him for the victory. Keep walking in Him.

2. CHOICE. Everything in life depends upon your choices. Choose to fulfill your destiny in God by making right choices…in even the smallest of matters. Choose to love the Lord; obey His voice and His commandments. Choose to love Life (Deuteronomy 30:15-19) Choose to constantly trust the Lord Jesus to live through you, as you overcome the carnal nature (1st John 4:4; Philippians 4:13; 1st Corinthians 15:57). Choose friends who will help you to grow and advance in the Christian faith (2nd Corinthians 6:14; Leviticus 20:26; Psalm 1:1). Dare to choose and be the person God created you to be – a successful, confident, wise, and loving reflection of Christ.

3. INSPIRED IDEAS. If you don’t have a vision, an idea, a hope, or a goal, you will never reach your destiny in God. “Where there is no vision (no idea), the people perish”…Proverb. 19:18. The word “perish” means to unravel or loosen until it breaks loose” from the Source. “Roll your work upon the Lord. He will cause your thoughts (ideas) to become agreeable to His will; so shall your plans be established and succeed” (Proverb16:3 Amplified). God has a perfect plan for your life! “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end” (Jeremiah 29:11). The expectation that His promises will manifest in your life as you believe His Word is like a rope that ties you to your destiny in Him. God wants you to expect Him to keep His Word to you. He wants to give you a rope of expectancy that will cause you to reach the destiny He has for your life. Prayer that is full of redemptive promises is a cord that attaches you to your Source and your Supply (Jehovah Jireh). Repeating His Word back to Him in prayer is the seed of your believing Him for the promise. God’s vision and expectation for your life is the cord to your destiny in Him. Keep your vision, your hope, your expectation, and your goal in God, and you will fulfill your destiny in God.

4. ACTION. When God gives you an inspired idea (a vision), there is always a starting point and an ending point. From the time He gives you the idea (the starting point) until you see the idea formulate and manifest (the ending point) is “sure,” but God does not fill in every detail from start to finish. You must walk by faith that what God has inspired you to do is from Him and that He can cause it to come to pass in your life. Attitudes form opinions and judgments, and opinions and judgments form convictions. You act upon your convictions - what you believe. Ideas perceived and believed form hope and expectancy. Hope and expectancy motivates faith to action, and faith without works is dead! God is determined to take you on your journey from start to finish to see your ideas “live,” even though there may be some storms in between the start and the finish. However, Jehovah God is “God of the breakthrough,” not God of the shortcut! God doesn’t take shortcuts, but He will get you to the manifestation of your idea…your vision that He has given you. .Each prayer, each faith action is a resurrection seed that releases you to be conformed into His image…to move in wisdom and understanding toward your goal. Your full potential can never be realized until you are lead by the Holy Spirit into faith actions. As you strive toward your goal, watch for opportunities to share Christ with others as He opens the door (Matthew 10:32-33; 1st Peter 3:15; Psalm 107:2). Be faithful and punctual to keep your word to others, as Christ is faithful to keep His Word to you. Be faithful in the small things and Christ will promote you, for if you humble yourself in the Lord’s sight, He will lift you up (James 6:10). He will get you to the desired goal that He has inspired you with, if you continue to trust in Him.

5. CREATION OF WEALTH. God has given Christians the Blood Covenant of Increase through Abraham. The blessings of Abraham are ours through Jesus Christ (Galatians 3:29). We are the heirs of Christ Jesus according to the promise of Increase (Deuteronomy 28:1-14). Right choices and obedience to God are a sure path to righteousness and blessings. The blessings of God add no sorrow! The righteous, obedient person is always rewarded with the blessing of God, but the disobedient receive the curse (Deuteronomy 28:15-19). God gives you power to get wealth to establish His covenant of blessing in the earth (Deuteronomy 8:18). God wants His kingdom extended through you so that He can receive every person that will receive Him as Lord and King of the Universe. Promote God, and He will promote you. He that wins souls is wise (Proverb 11:30). Then, when the blessings of success come upon you, DON’T FORGET the Lord your God. Don’t forget that He has blessed you (and not yourself). Don’t forget He is your Source of supply (Deuteronomy 8:17-18). The Source of supply can be cut off because of disobedience. Rather, praise Him and live for Him in everything you do! Sow a seed into the kingdom of God (in a kind deed, in prayer, in money, etc.) as a good steward of what God has given you, and then expect the harvest that God has promised!

6. LOVE. (AGAPE/HESED LOVE.) GOD IS LOVE! Unconditionally, everlasting love (John 3:16). He is no respecter of persons (Acts 10:34-35). What He has done for one, He will do for another. Each person has to follow and obey the ways of the Lord, and God promises the same results for “whosoever will” work HIS plan for man. It is God’s will for you to be fulfilled and satisfied as you realize your destiny in Him!

WHO I AM IN CHRIST!

When a person accepts the Word into one's life, it changes one to be more like Christ. The Holy Spirit, as He energizes the Word in us, changes us from glory to glory. Accepting who we are in Christ, for the Christian, is to accept that we have self-respect and worth because God loves us...not that we deserve it, but He brings us up to His level. Praise God!

“CHRIST IN ME THE HOPE OF GLORY!.” Col. 1:27

God told Moses that His name was I AM ! As we are adopted into the family, this is also our name.

BIO

At 62 the Lord Jehovah has me running strong for Him! During the summer of 1971 God got my attention when I was desperate to find an answer to my life. While leading an immoral life, God called me back into His service and established me in Oak Cliff Assembly of God Church in Dallas, Texas. Later on in 1973, I felt His calling to teach His Word, and this terrified me, as I was very immature and shy. God has done such a great work in my life to bring me out of misery, instability, and shyness. But God had begun a good work in my life to mature me and prepare me to serve Him, and I was grateful! My life changed in 1980 when I married David Russell, and we eventually (1986) had a wonderful, beautiful baby girl, Rachel Leigh. In 1988 David and I both worked at a large television ministry in the Prayer Center as Phone Prayer Counselors for two years. In 1989 we moved to Tennessee where we were involved in Grace Community Missionary Church. In 1890 we are in North Carolina for a year and were involved with a wonderful church, North Haven Church with Pastor Herbert and Mary Carter. Then we were "truckers", and we loved it until Rachel was four and ready to play and jump "outside."
We finally settled down in Fort Worth and sent our daughter to a private school, Harvest Christian School, where she eventually was Salutatorian of her 2004 class. From 1994 to 2000 we all were active in R.I.D. Ministry, Inc., our food ministry to the poor and needy. Kenneth Copeland Ministry supplied brochures and Bibles in English and in Spanish; and Jerry Savelle Ministry volunteered his senior students to witness and pray with people as they stood in the food line; and God provided all the wonderful volunteers we needed to help with the "hands on" work of the ministry. The volunteers and the people in line for food were ministered the real food, the Bread of Life, Jesus Christ, with many coming to know Him as Lord and Saviour. Praise the Lord forevermore! During this time, David and I were involved in leadership with The Living Way Ministries of Pastor Hayseed and Mary Gene Stephens. At present, we are attending Convergence Church with Pastor Steve Fish. Convergence Church is a wonderful, lively place of worship. Rachel Leigh, a lovely Christian girl, is married. David and I are always His witnesses.

The Lord has allowed me to write a book, The Human Sacrifice, which I believe will bless the Body of Christ. It is like a quick college course in an easy reading style and took me five years to research and write. God has prophetically given me a goal for it to go around the world. From start to finish with God is always a journey! But He is always there, Jehovah Shammah! to guide and comfort. Praise the Lord!
