Something I learned from lifemodel.org that I just love and want to walk out in my life!
When I think about how I live life in relationship to God and others, O that my default reaction will always be joy, hope or shalom?

JESUS is the ONE who promotes me and I am defined by what HE says about me and no one else!
What's next, PAPA?
Romans 8:15-17 "This resurrection life you received from God is not a timid, grave-tending life. It’s adventurously expectant, greeting God with a childlike “What’s next, Papa?” God’s Spirit touches our spirits and confirms who we really are. We know who he is, and we know who we are: Father and children. And we know we are going to get what’s coming to us—an unbelievable inheritance! We go through exactly what Christ goes through. If we go through the hard times with him, then we’re certainly going to go through the good times with him!"
HE changes me from the inside out!Romans 12:1-2 "So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you."
I want to be a good friend who love deeply!
Romans 12:9-10 "Love from the center of who you are; don’t fake it. Run for dear life from evil; hold on for dear life to good. Be good friends who love deeply; practice playing second fiddle."
And I want to REALLY be filled with joy ... peace .... hope!
Romans 15:7-13 "So reach out and welcome one another to God’s glory. Jesus did it; now you do it! Jesus, staying true to God’s purposes, reached out in a special way to the Jewish insiders so that the old ancestral promises would come true for them. As a result, the non-Jewish outsiders have been able to experience mercy and to show appreciation to God. Just think of all the Scriptures that will come true in what we do! For instance:Then I’ll join outsiders in a hymn-sing;I’ll sing to your name!And this one:Outsiders and insiders, rejoice together!And again:People of all nations, celebrate God!All colors and races, give hearty praise!And Isaiah’s word:There’s the root of our ancestor Jesse,breaking through the earth and growing tree tall,Tall enough for everyone everywhere to see and take hope!Oh! May the God of green hope fill you up with joy, fill you up with peace, so that your believing lives, filled with the life-giving energy of the Holy Spirit, will brim over with hope!"
And o how I want to build a lovely home!Proverbs 14:1 "Lady Wisdom builds a lovely home; Sir Fool comes along and tears it down brick by brick."

The powerful truths and wonderful promises I learn about as I read HIS WORD!
This is what I learned today as I studied my Bible ...
GOD drives out the darkness in my life! 2 Samuel 22:29-31 "Suddenly, GOD, your light floods my path, GOD drives out the darkness. I smash the bands of marauders, I vault the high fences. What a GOD! His roadstretches straight and smooth. Every GOD-direction is road-tested. Everyone who runs toward him makes it." And HIS SPIRIT is upon me! Luke 4:16-21 "HE came to Nazareth where HE had been reared. As HE always did on the Sabbath, HE went to the meeting place. When HE stood up to read, HE was handed the scroll of the prophet Isaiah. Unrolling the scroll, HE found the place where it was written, GOD'S SPIRIT is on ME; HE'S chosen ME to preach the Message of good news to the poor, Sent ME to announce pardon to prisoners and recovery of sight to the blind, To set the burdened and battered free, to announce, “This is GOD'S year to act!” HE rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the assistant, and sat down. Every eye in the place was on HIM, intent. Then HE started in, “You’ve just heard Scripture make history. It came true just now in this place.” And there are no limits to the wholeness HE brings! Isaiah 9:2-7 "The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. For those who lived in a land of deep shadows—light! Sunbursts of light! You repopulated the nation, you expanded its joy. Oh, they’re so glad in your presence! Festival joy! The joy of a great celebration, sharing rich gifts and warm greetings. The abuse of oppressors and cruelty of tyrants—all their whips and cudgels and curses— Is gone, done away with, a deliverance as surprising and sudden as Gideon’s old victory over Midian. The boots of all those invading troops, along with their shirts soaked with innocent blood, will be piled in a heap and burned, a fire that will burn for days! For a CHILD has been born—for us! The gift of a SON—for us! HE'LL take over the running of the world. HIS names will be: Amazing Counselor, Strong God, Eternal Father, Prince of Wholeness. HIS ruling authority will grow, and there’ll be no limits to the wholeness HE brings. HE'LL rule from the historic David throne over that promised kingdom. HE'LL put that kingdom on a firm footing and keep it going with fair dealing and right living, beginning now and lasting always. The zeal of GOD-of-the-Angel-Armies will do all this." And the issue is never what they do to me, but what CHRIST does through my obedience! Acts 21:12-13 "When we heard that, we and everyone there that day begged Paul not to be stubborn and persist in going to Jerusalem. But Paul wouldn’t budge: “Why all this hysteria? Why do you insist on making a scene and making it even harder for me? You’re looking at this backward. The issue in Jerusalem is not what they do to me, whether arrest or murder, but what the Master JESUS does through my obedience. Can’t you see that?” And the most wonderful thing when JESUS said "I AM JESUS!" Acts 26:15-16 “I said, ‘Who are you, MASTER?’ “The voice answered, ‘I AMJESUS, the One you’re hunting down like an animal. But now, up on your feet—I have a job for you. I’VE handpicked you to be a servant and witness to what’s happened today, and to what I am going to show you." And here's a reference to the Old Testament Paul used in his defense to King Agrippa, "Everything I am saying is completely in line with what the prophets and Moses said would happen!"Acts 26:21-23 “It’s because of this ‘whole world’ dimension that the Jews grabbed me in the Temple that day and tried to kill me. They want to keep God for themselves. But God has stood by me, just as he promised, and I’m standing here saying what I’ve been saying to anyone, whether king or child, who will listen. And everything I’m saying is completely in line with what the prophets and Moses said would happen: One, the Messiah must die; two, raised from the dead, he would be the first rays of God’s daylight shining on people far and near, people both godless and God-fearing.” And the last thing Paul said to King Agrippa ... You believe ... don't you? Don't answer that - I know you believe ... remimding me to don't ask a question I already know the answer to! Acts 26:25-27 "But Paul stood his ground. “With all respect, Festus, Your Honor, I’m not crazy. I’m both accurate and sane in what I’m saying. The king knows what I’m talking about. I’m sure that nothing of what I’ve said sounds crazy to him. He’s known all about it for a long time. You must realize that this wasn’t done behind the scenes. You believe the prophets, don’t you, King Agrippa? Don’t answer that—I know you believe.” And a response from King Agrippa after Paul's great story defending himself ... Acts 26:28 "But Agrippa did answer: “Keep this up much longer and you’ll make a Christian out of me!”

Great words today from Ras and Bev Robinson!
December 10, 2013. The Lord says through angelic messengers today that He wants you to begin and increase your prophecy to many peoples, nations, languages and kings. He says, "Humble yourself before Me. Ask for more anointing to prophesy extensively. In the midst of those prophesies I want you to make and give, there will be anointing on your words to heal. You have known about laying on of hands anointed with oil. But you are anointed with Jesus and the Trinity. Speak My words from your mouth. Keep your heart pure and speak.
Revelation 10:11 (NIV) "Then I was told, "You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, languages and kings." Ras Robinson
December 10, 2013. Stay flexible. Don't make up your mind and get set in your ways. I have so many things to show you if you will listen to what I say. No, it isn't wrong to make plans. In fact it is good to think ahead what you will do in certain circumstances. But don't set your plans in concrete and refuse to entertain anything else. But also don't allow disappointment to rule the day. Be ready to change when obstacles cause roadblocks. You are learning that My plans are better than your plans.
Psalms 107:43 (AMP) "Whoso is wise [if there be any truly wise] will observe and heed these things; and they will diligently consider the mercy and loving-kindness of the Lord." Bev Robinson
