Praise in Pros for our Lord’s Prayer

Conversations with My Dad:
What a glorious, magnificent, joy filled day Dad!
My heart, mind and soul entwined in your spirit indeed
You are the first, the everlasting
And I am your child, set free

Seeking always your kingdom
Before I search for anything else
Your face, your words, your friendship
Is my truest and deepest desire

You loved me and called me – to hold me
To heal me from all this life’s fate
Now that my Savior has risen
All days ahead are well

Teach us to know your good pleasure
Keep us as we test what we know
Stir us to lean in to your lessons
To strengthen even to the marrow of our bones

Join us together to blanket
The universe with your incorruptible Love
Save them from the disasters surrounding them
We’ll reach in so that you may reach through

Bind us together in your spirit
Break all the bondage which decays
You are Zoe life everlasting
Not of us ~ they are delivered by your hand

Send in the armies of angels
Provide where there once was lack
All things, in you, come together
All things are whole, strong and sound

Release your breath for the helpers
Release the provision for all needs
Release those held down and broken
As their redeemer is seen in the redeemed

You are Hosanna in the highest
Yet you choose to dwell in mere men
Out of darkness you have empowered us
Leaving us here ~ yet not leaving us at all

You promise to never forsake us
We must choose to seek your face
Your face is constantly around us
In those who do not hide in the masquerade

Expose the common misconceptions
Heal their eyes to see
Melt their façade in our presence
You promise to defeat EVERY foe

Let us have mercy on their condition
Scared and exposed they must hide
They do not believe in the Savior
So they must find a way to survive

Lead them not into temptation
But deliver them into your peace
Your presence now available through Jesus
Behind Him is their safe place from harm

Thank you for the strength of your body
The knowledge of your incomprehensible mind
The might of YHWH our Father
The power of Elohim bringing joy
The divine entrance of all by El Shaddai

All Glory falls to you, our redeemer
The Lover of our very soul
You sustain and transform us
All for the cause of “true love”

In Christ Jesus name
All things here are accomplished
On earth as it is in the heavens above.
Hallelujah - Shalom
~Candace Huffmaster

Today I ask that you all find a time to fill your heart with these words, raise your voice speaking them our loud, and believe in Him to accomplish all things in always ~simply because He love us.

Thank you for being One with us all,  today and forever, as we do the work of the Father ~All over the world, and "to infinity and beyond" as Buzz Lightyear would say.

Kisses,

Running From The Dream

 Heart and Mind of an Artisan
Through the eyes of true love
All things are beautiful when seen
There is no lack or division
The lesser and imperfect are complete

The eyes of God are always searching
Seeking that which He calls His Delight
We are His children and name sake
He is the love of our lives
Together we reach to each other
Throughout the days past and yet to come
His heights and the depths merge together
His love everlasting searching all
In true spirit protecting while teaching
Always encouraging us bringing us joy
Our out pour of praise is unto Him
The one who began all things

He IS and forever Will be
The creator of all in all ways
The giver of life everlasting
The protector of all intricacies unknown
The redeemer of that which is forsaken
The healer of harm hurt and hate

We live because you first loved us
Your love covers our bodies of shame
We wear this glory unto you
Exposed - your brilliance is seen

Each imperfect and rough without you
Yet namesake designs through your artisan craft
Each of us objects of your making
Given life to not be cold and flat

We are creatures created for conversation
Living out YOUR passionate dreams
May WE never leave nor forsake YOU.
May nothing ever pass from your sight.

We have been looking at our thoughts - Deeply.  We have been discussing our Dreams.  We have been writing our thoughts and illustrating some pieces of them.  Tomorrow we will  be going on a journey with Hagar.  She was living a dream, but not hers.  She was living a nightmare.  Yet she named the Lord "Your Are the God Who Watches Over Me"? 


 ¹³Hagar named the Lord, who had been speaking to her, “You Are the God Who Watches Over Me.” She said, “This is the place where I watched the one who watches over me.” ¹⁴This is why the well is named Beer Lahai Roi [Well of the Living One Who Watches Over Me]. It is still there between Kadesh and Bered. Genesis 16:13 GWT

May each of your continue to keep your neck stretched out focused on His promise.  May you wait with joy, work hard with your hands, pray deeply to cover us all and sing the new song that He gives you each day.

With the Love of our Christ,

Kisses,

God is Reasonable

As a general assumption in regards to our societal mindset, I believe we are a bit too over achiever focused.   It is very obvious that we believe we can do anything if we just know how to do it.  We are supposed to be "self" sufficient.  We are annoyed by anyone who "can't pull their own weight".  We believe relationships are supposed to be "happy and convenient".  Everything is supposed to be geographically desirable or it's too much of an effort.  Children are to be like little adults, fully able to control themselves without stressing anyone out or embarrassing others.  The list goes on and on.....

Maybe this is a little over the top - I will let you be the judge.  But I started noticing how we even hold this over achiever's mentality and expectation with our salvation and new life in Christ.  When we think of getting saved, we think "Pow Wham" my life will be all fine now.  None of this "no pain, no gain" stuff.   We just wait till we know enough and have lived how we want to live - then in our own strength we will say it's time and start implementing everything.  Why don't we just have a belly laugh once and for all - right her, right now! 

I thank God that He knows us - how we think, act and what motivates us.  And He still chose us!  If we can't see in that alone just how  "loving, just and reasonable" he is,  then the rest is really going to be hard for us. In reality all we do is choose to finally let Him in.  Then He will start showing us things - hopefully we will be willing to give new ways a try - hence the "trip, fall, fly" process.

God IS reasonable and He shows us this continually. For instance,  He explained to us not to start off with a 5 course meal as we digest  these new things.  He suggested that we start as a baby with milk - like a newborn.  He understood that we would have to start out with something that all we had to do was focus and learn.  It also had to be something with a quick turn around.  Remember, He knows us well.

He chose something that we could see, experience emotional feeling of relief  about  - which would also  bring great joy as well as be able to multiply:  our provision.  And yet this is the one thing which is the hardest for us to trust Him with! Coincidence? I think not!  The truth is, in order for us to trust Him, we must COMPLETELY let go of  trusting in our "self". 

Do you think it is a coincidence? 

Think about these things:

• He wants us to have faith in Him
• Even if we speak like we believe something, we will not "trust" it till we have seen or heard it proven

This is what I think is so very cool about faith - we actually get to use our brains, discover, question and find the truth.  (Yes I am a full fledged geek - people don't expect this about me =D)  God tells us that Faith is the substance of things hoped for; the evidence of things Not seen in Hebrews 11:1.

So He promises He will make it tangible in some way.  It's not some mysterious, elusive, enigma.  There is substance and evidence - that's proof!  He tells us that His words make it manifest or produces it.

 For the word of God is active and living. This means we must know His words in order to speak them to produce the real and tangible.  But here in lies a problem because we will not speak something we do not have faith in - remember we are over achiever's who don't want to be made a spectacle of. 

Again, God is reasonable.  He knew we were going to be of this mentality.  So He, in advance, told us how to achieve this feat with success.  in Romans 10:17 So then - faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.

We simply have to listen - how hard is that.  Well, pretty hard when the voices or words are telling us the truth.  But give it a try.  God loves you and me.......and He IS reasonable, loving and just.

Today, just read about how He desires to provide for you.  It's a promise, just like the birds, flowers and trees.  He will provide for you - always in all ways.

I thank Him, from all of us, for His providing a safe place for you to receive this, what a luxury it is to have your own computer.  He has nourished our body, given us comprehension and sustenance to sustain us yet another grand day.  Continue on Living His Dream!

With love,
Candace
