Book- Hearts Without Knowledge Blessings to my facebooks friends.... My Husband and I continually pray, "Thy will be done Lord, on earth as it is in Heaven." We only want to do what God wants us to do. God has so much that He needs for us to do. I think God has given so many people gifts or a calling, yet out of fear or just because life keeps them so busy they put them off or are afraid to pursue them. Yes, a call or a job that God wants done will be big and even over our head, but I know from our experience the only way to get it done is to lay the whole thing on the Lord and say "Father, I cannot do this... so You will have to do it through me." I know I have to take it one step at a time and not look at the whole thing at one time. If I do it overwhelms me.
If you don't know what the Lord wants you to do. Begin to pray for the answer. Until then listen to the pull of your heart. What do I mean? O.K. What areas of ministry are you drawn to. The homeless, the addicted, women who have been through abortions, orphans or abused children, or maybe visiting the elderly. Trust me, your heart will tell you. At least start there and see where God takes you.
Many people sit at home and listen to the devil whisper to them..."God could never use you, you have been or are too messed up." Well, he still tries to tell me that, but I know who I am through Christ. I am more than a conquerer through Christ Jesus. As you let the Lord order your steps every day, and as you serve somewhere, somehow, You will begin to see what God wants you to do. Just try it and you will see.
Now as for that lying devil... He may have power, But we have authority over his power. Last I heard, "Greater is He that is in me, than he that is in the world." AMEN.
I pray blessings over each one reading. I pray that the Lord will begin to reveal new things to you. May you have visions, and dreams, but most of all peace in your life and love towards all.

God Can Use a Bird to Minister to You

Praise the Lord that God's mercy is new every morning. It never fails that as soon as you think you have arrived to some Spiritual place, God decides to throw a new thing on you. God made me a very visual person, and a cartoon head also, therefore I look for God in everything.

About five years ago when I was still single I bought a house that had lots of woods and it was very quiet. I would lay on the deck with my dog and cat. I would often hear this bird singing this beautiful song that I had never heard before. At this time I had more peace than I had ever had in my life. I think now alot of what I was feeling also was accomplishment after years of failure. I know it was o.k to feel that way, but I think the enemy (satan) can use our accomplishments to try to keep us in the past if we are not careful.

Now that I am married and my whole life has changed. I have great new memories and am very happy. Sometimes though when money is tight and times are tough I catch myself looking back at that old memory. The Lord showed me that memories are wonderful to have, but when we take ourselves back to them and draw off of the feelings we had then to fill an emptiness we have now, that it can hinder our walk spiritually. We can look back and say "that was a great time, but "This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice & be glad in it."Psalms 118:24

This morning I was sitting on the deck very early. I heard a bird begin to sing this beautiful song over and over. As I listened to how beautiful it was I thought about the other bird and it's song and right then the Lord said, "This is a new song for new memories. Move forward and go from glory to glory so you can grasp the new season and all it's glory. Now you will be ready to move into every blessing you shall receive, because you will be watchful to receive instead of looking back.

I am so glad I have a Father in heaven, whom is my daddy who loves me enough to open my eyes to keep them on Him.

Going from Glory to Glory He showed me also includes from healing to healing, from joy to joy, and from peace to peace. Wow God is so good.

I pray Lord for whoever is reading this right now. May their eyes and ears be opened to see and hear You better. Love on them Lord and show them how to give to You all the hurts in their heart that they don't know how to let go of on their own. Jesus came to set the captives free. Blessings
