Holy Holy Holy

Angelic Beings — “... And they rest not day or night, saying Holy, Holy, Holy,
Lord God Mighty, which was, and is, and is to come.”
Holy, Holy, Holy, reverberates throughout heaven as our God is Worshiped! It is a sound heard perpetually around the Throne of God according to the Revelation in Scripture! Just muse for a moment, close your eyes and see if you can envision the voices of Praise as they go forth in the Presence of God! Perhaps Christianity has lost touch with the “Holiness “of God! Some go too far with the outside of Holiness, and some never think of His Holiness —God’s Holiness is an issue in our inner most being. What we think, what we do, how we act, or maybe I should said react. Yes, human actions tell us a lot about an ourselves. What is on the inside of our mind and Spirit often betrays us. And sometimes there are closets in our heart that hold sincere but painful things. Today’s Message is about calling out to God for His Holiness and Righteous to be ignited with in our soul, that we might gain more energy Spiritually! These times seemingly have slowed down our responses, masks, shots, news casts, but God has said He will save us from wrath! The sincere Christians have placed their lives in the hands of the Lord and we live and move in “His Love,” Trusting in His Grace and His Mercy, for we know He is a Merciful God! So as we Trust in Him let us consider a deeper relationship with Him. Begin once more to give attention to “His Holiness!” – What can we do? We must offer Worship and Praise more often for He inhabits our Praise. Christianity needs more of Him, less of the world. Consider the Holiness of God: In the beginning as God was dressing His Priests; there was a ‘signet upon a plate which Aaron, the Priest wore and in Pure Gold it was engraved and read – “Holiness To the Lord!” There were many instructions for the Priest. He would give many instructions to the people and each time he would go before them they would see the words – “Holiness to the Lord!” What a responsibility our Ministers have today as God entrusts His People to us that we might impart Spiritual Nourishment. Let us meditate upon “His Holiness” today!  Loving you, Pastor
The Benediction    
Omnipotent and Precious Father, We come into Your Presence to give You the Highest Honour and Praise! We say Holy, Holy, Holy, are you God!

O Lord, we ask that You cover our Loved Ones with Your Mercy and draw them unto Your Salvation. We give You Praise, we exalt You for You are a Holy God! We ask all these things in Your Holy Name, the Name of Jesus and the Power of the Holy Ghost!  Amen

Remember Thy Ways!

"Thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee ... to humble thee, to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou would keep His commandments, or no.” ~Deut. 8:2    

As we ponder the things that have transpired in this last year and prepare to enter a brand new Year, What do we remember?  Our world has changed in just a year or so. Government has changed, Laws have changed, masks are worn and shots are being given ... It is hard to remember what it was like before all these things begin to come into view. As the Book of Revelation slowing opens we begin to see the signs of God’s dealing with humanity. However it is not a new thing, God’s dealing with His People. We remember He has dwelt with His People from the beginning as he drove Adam and Eve from the Garden and placed the ‘Cherubim’ with flaming swords to protect the Way of the Tree of Life! God admonished the Children of Israel in Duet 8 why they had a terrible 40 years. It was to humble them, prove them, and to know what was in their heart, and if they would be faithful to follow Him. We can Thank God that He sent Jesus for humanity could not keep the Law. After all the failures, we hear the Lord say; “I will establish My Covenant with thee, and thou shall know that I Am the Lord!”  And we are the receiver of this awesome Covenant given to us in the Blood of His Only Begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ! Today let us remember the ‘ways’ that God has led us these many years. God was reminding them He had led them for those 40 years in the wilderness and He continues to led us today. He leads us in Mercy, Grace, and a Peace that the world does not have. As I mused over the last 40 years of my life, I found Him to be present in all the difficult times as well as so present in the good times. God wants our heart! In these trying times let us turn more often to Him, knowing that we will see us through because we remember His Goodness, His Faithfulness, His forgiveness and we know that He is always present with us!  Our Lord has remembered us in the days of our youth and He continues to walk with us today; Thank You Jesus,  ❤ Pastor

The Benediction    

Almighty God, You are our strength in these times of change! We look unto You as the Author and the Finisher of all things. We give You Praise as we Worship with the saints today.  We remember Your Love that surrounded all last year, and we are Thankful O Lord for all the Goodness You have shown to us. We are thankful for the Covenant You have remembered toward us and we are Thankful for Jesus and the Power of the Holy Spirit that You have sent to guide us on our Path. You are a Faithful God!  I ask for Your Blessings to continue upon this people as we remember all that you have done for us. Please Lord Jesus watch over our Loved ones and draw them to Your Saving Grace.  We ask these things in the Name of our Father, Your Son Jesus, and the Holy Ghost, Amen!

The Winds of God

 “God causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth;

He maketh lightnings for the rain; He bringeth the Wind out of His Treasuries.” ~ Ps. 135:7 

The Winds of God!”    

   We have been experiencing the elements in these past few weeks, and as I was in devotions I came across the Treasuries of God. There I found the elements of our weather, are not just weather, but Spiritual Weather also. I remembered what Jesus said “Ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?” Today the weather man can preempt any storm usually, but as Christians – can the body of Christ discern the signs of our time? I believe the saints can if we will take time to inventory our relationship with the Lord.  Again as I have mention before we see the evidence of evil becoming stronger and stronger, yet Christianity does not seem to be stronger.  In today’s Message we find that “Wind or Winds” are mentioned over 140 times in Scripture. The Word speaks of the East Wind, the North and South Wind and the West Wind. Some times it focuses on the “Four Winds.”  From searching the Word, I found some winds are chastenment, some are correction,  some are Prophetic; Miraculous, and Punishment, etc. Some winds are strong, boisterous, mighty, rushing, etc. These winds are part of the Treasure of God. It’s interesting to check the mention of each wind in Scripture and see what God uses it for – South Wind 16 times–North Wind 35– East Wind 28 – and West wind 1: Interesting Eccl, 1:6 “The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits.” The wind turneth about continually in its course, and then returneth again to the beginning! I take this Spiritually – The Wind of God surrounds us, The breath of God never leaves us – it is in us! And always encamping about us, as it returns we are kept in the circle of God’s Love.  Of course by now you are seeing the revelation of this Message, it is the “Rushing Mighty Wind of God’s Holy Spirit that surround us, never leaves us and is always around us! Let us meditate upon the power of this Truth! God uses the natural things of this earth to teach us Spiritual Strengths! Here the declaration of Amos 4:13 “For, lo, He that formeth the mountains, and createth the Wind, and declareth unto man what is His thought, that maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the earth, The Lord, The God of hosts, is His name – And He lives in us! Loving you, Pastor.  

The Benediction
