WE SERVE AN ALMIGHTY GOD!!!

I JUST WANT TO GIVE HIM SOME PRAISE!! ANYONE WANT TO HELP ME GIVE HIM A SHOUT??

"LORD, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!! THANK YOU FOR BEING THE BEST THING THAT HAS AND EVERY WILL HAPPEN TO ME. I WANT TO GIVE YOU SO MUCH. BUT I PRAY WHAT I DO GIVE YOU WILL PUT A SMILE ON YOUR FACE AS YOU DO TO ME ALL THE TIME. I SAY TO YOU YOUR AWESOME AND AGAIN I LOVE YOU!!!!

ANYONE ELSE GOT SOMETHING TO ADD????

------------------
Love,Joy,Peace,
and Holiness Always

Amen to that! Let there be praise in the House tonight!

Holy Holy Holy is the Lord God Almighty! Heaven and Earth are filled with His glory! Hosanna in the Highest Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! Praise the One who was and is and is to come! Worthy is the Lamb who was slain and is now risen!

The cool thing is that Praise and Worship comes from the heart, so if you can't sing no sweat, if the only thing you can play is your cd or tape player no sweat, and if you dance like you have 3 left feet ( right if you're left side dominant) it's okay: for our God only desires your heart to be in communion with Him.

So praise Him all you who have breath in your body! Praise Him for He is worthy of everything that is good, honorable, right, and holy. Worship Him who walks on the wings of the wind! Proclaim Jesus Christ as King of Kings and Lord of Lords!

Guys, this past week has been one of the most phenominal weeks of my life. It has been a week full of God. I prayed last Monday night that He would give me a HUNGER for Him that I could not fill. And be careful what you ask for. God has used a 50 year old man named Bill to teach me things that I should have known all my life. (it is a loooong story, and you know me; I'm all about brevity. Short, straight, and to the point...that's me! ) But anyway, I just want to challenge you to take 60 seconds. Try to fill that 60 seconds up with nothing but thoughts of God. No thoughts of anything else. Not words to a song. No words to God. Just thoughts of GOD. Can you do it? I couldn't. Now I encourage you (whether you could or couldn't do it) to take one extra hour of your time that you don't normally spend praying (sacrifice a lunch break or an hour of sleep or an hour of fun time or social time) and pray. Praise. For one hour more a day than you normally do. For some of you that will only mean an hour and 5 minutes. For others it will mean 2 hours...but I encourage you to do it. One extra hour of prayer. And when you are finished praying, try to think of nothing but God for 60 seconds...it was MUCH easier for me to do the second time. And God is BEAUTIFUL!
<FONT size="4"><FONT COLOR="teal">I could never quite express the beauty of your Holiness. You're the Holy One. I could never quite define the way you changed this heart of mine. You're the Holy One. You are so Holy. We give You glory. Who can contain you? Oh Lord WE PRAISE YOU!!!!</FONT c>
<FONT COLOR="red">Jesus draw me close. Closer Lord to you. Won't you let this world around us fade away? Your name is like honey on my lips. Your Spirit's like water to my soul. Your Word is a Lamp unto my feet. JESUS I LOVE YOU!!! What could I ever do to deserve you???</FONT c>
<FONT COLOR="green">Jesus, Jesus, JESUS!!! There's just something about that name. Master, Savior, Jesus! Like the fragrance after the rain. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, let all Heaven and earth proclaim. Kings and kingdoms will all pass away, but there's something about that name.</FONT c></FONT s>

<FONT COLOR="yellow"><FONT size="6"><FONT face="impact">This is my desire. The cry of my soul, my heart, my spirit...from deep inside of me, that place which can only be filled by HIM. The one who Created ME in His image. The one who died for me that I may be close to Him. The one who heard my desparate cry when I was lost and followed me into the depths of the mire and pulled me out, placing me on the solid Rock of Truth. This is what I LONG FOR is that I will be closer to Him. Forsaking everything else that would come between us including myself. I AM DESPARATE FOR HIM!!!
"Draw us near to your heart, OH GOD! Let us rest our head on Your chest. Place our hand in Yours, OH LORD! HOLD US FACE TO FACE" "WE ARE HUNGRY FOR MORE OF YOU!!! WE ARE THIRSTY OH JESUS, We are thirsty for more of you! We lift our holy hands up. WE WANT TO TOUCH YOU! We lift our voices higher and higher and HIGHER TO YOU!!!" GOD I AM DESPARATE FOR YOU and I want the entire world to know it!!! I AM LOST WITHOUT YOU!!!</FONT c></FONT f></FONT s>

I LOVE YOU, LORD
AND I LIFT MY VOICE
TO WORSHIP YOU,
OH MY SOUL REJOICE!
TAKE JOY MY KING
IN WHAT YOU HEAR,
MAY IT BE A SWEET, SWEET SOUND IN YOUR EAR!


I LOVE YOU...YOU ARE AN AWESOME FATHER AND I AM SO THANKFUL THAT YOU CLAIM ME AS YOUR OWN!

GUYS!!! I am just bursting here...overflowing!!! I cant tell you how AWESOME GOD IS!!! Words cannot express it. All week long I have been just really seeking Him and begging Him to draw me near to Him. Pursuing HIM...and chasing Him with that reckless abandon that is just unfathomable. MAN! The past two days especially I have begged Him "GOD! How can I be CLOSER TO YOU???" And He has been showing me in His own way...today I was feeling a little discouraged...like maybe I was trying too hard or something. But then I got to Stand tonight and guess what the message was about? "Getting closer to God." I almost fell out of my seat. CHASE HIM. HE will turn around and catch you when you least expect it. The Bible says that if we draw near to HIM, HE WILL DRAW NEAR TO US! Isn't that great? All we have to do is seek Him. Just show Him that we are willing to go out of our "comfort zone" as the speaker tonight put it...and believe me, this week has been phenominal although it has definitely been out of my comfort zone. And to realize that there is NOTHING that I can do to earn any gift that He wants to give me. NOTHING that I can say that will be good enough. And it is not something that I deserve to be able to worship Him. It is something that HE DESERVES. It is an HONOR to serve Him with my life. It is an honor that I don't deserve in any way. But He made sure that I would have the opportunity the privelage to worship Him. If I will just take the gift that He so freely gives. I pray that the Blood of Jesus covers your hearts and your minds and in everything that you do, that you will have the desire to give MY KING the honor and glory and praise that HE ALONE deserves.

<FONT COLOR="blue"><FONT size="5">I will give You ALL my worship. I will give You ALL my praise. YOU ALONE I LONG to worship. You ALONE are worthy of MY PRAISE!</FONT c></FONT s><FONT size="4"><FONT COLOR="green">Lord You are more precious than silver, and Lord You are more costly than gold.

When the music fades,
And all is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring
Something that's of worth
That will bless your heart

I'll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself is not what you have required.
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear.
You're looking into my heart.

I'm coming back to the heart of worship
Where it's all about YOU.
ALL ABOUT YOU JESUS!!!
I'M SORRY LORD FOR THE THING I'VE MADE IT
WHEN IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU
ALL ABOUT YOU JESUS.

King of endless worth,
No one could express how much you deserve.
Though I'm weak and poor,
All I have is Yours
Every single breath...

Lord,
I wasted time and I'm sorry. I forgot what it was all about, and I don't deserve any good thing that You give me, and yet you continue to make Your mercy new in my life. I can never thank you enough choosing me to bring Your perfect love to others...and You know my heart...that is all I want. Please help us all unite and break down these barriers that we have so callously put up between each other and put our focus back on You. We are called by YOUR name for a purpose. Please help us always remember what that purpose is...and never let us forget what we are fighting for.
Amen.
