Truest of truth, a truest Christmas gift? Hmmmmm…. Ever heard of something being truest? Today in our world we have so many forms of façades. Things looking beautiful on the outside, yet looking in, there is a hidden reality behind a false front, and that reality of truth is not so pretty. So many selfies that are staged and do not reflect the true reality of the real. People posing, and posting on social media an untrue reality of what their lives are really all about. So much posturing is going on in our culture, and it is deceptive, and every day reality of truth is missing in our culture and is like a false front to a dangerous cliff. The truth is the truth is not seen, but what is seen is what we want people to think is true. Yes deception rules our world, and times such as these and our thoughts, motives, and actions are saturated with deception. This is why our “Truest Christmas Gift” Jesus, whose heart is holy pure, whose motives are straightforward, and His no nonsense approach to life always holds true and good intentions toward us. Jesus says what He there is nothing means, and means what He says. There is nothing and never was anything fake about Jesus, He was and is the truest of people, our Awe God with an impeccable character. He came here to us, became flesh, yet He sinned not. Our Truest Christmas Gift is trustworthy truism, and there is no truth as pure, honorable, and able to stand the test of time as His truth is! He keeps His promises. Who is like that? Not many people! You can’t find people whose words are absolutely truth. Instead, we have people grabbing absolute power, serving no power higher than self, and very corrupted in speech, action, and promise. In this day and age, we do not encounter many people who are truthful in times such as these. This is why our “Truest Christmas Gift” Jesus Christ, The Spirit Of Truth, is such an amazing and precious Christmas gift. Today, we grasp a hold of our “Truest Christmas Gift” Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit of truth, and the only truth that we can believe is pure and undefiled by assumption, speculation, presupposition, presumption, rationalization, and any form of evil deception. This is an amazing gift, to be led by the Holy Spirit of God, by truth, that has been tried and stood the test of time. What an incredible Christmas gift, a “Truest Christmas Gift” that has been gifted to us, a gift given freely to us. We are absolute fools if we reject this gift and do not open it up wide, letting it refresh our lives from moment to choice, in the purest of truth, ever known to mankind. I am one who has accepted the “Truest Christmas Gift”! This amazing gift has been giving to me miraculously-merrily-so over many, many years, this gift of Jesus Christ, and His salvation, which I humbly received. I did not deserve it, but Jesus Christ, and His unconditional love, out of His grace and mercy, gifted it to me. Jesus Christ is the One who teaches us to love like He has loved, even though we hurt Him, we wounded Him, and we killed Him, He loved like we never did any of those horrific things, and sacrificed Himself on our behalf, His death exchanged for our betterment. There is no greater love, there is no better gift than the “Truest Christmas Gift” the forever life of Jesus Christ. This gift shines with a light of truth that darkness can never extinguish. The gift of Jesus Christ, and His salvation, there is no better, greater or more powerful gift than this, as it insures that the finality of death is no longer a factor in our lives. We are free, free from death! How about you? Why not today except the “Truest Christmas Gift”? Why not know personally, Jesus Christ, and know the freedom of His reality of truth. In a world overrun by deception, there can’t even not be one of us, who is not seeking truth! This is why our “Truest Christmas Gift” is so very relevant and priceless, as a gift full of the treasure of truth, truism which ushers into our lives absolutely liberty like no other. God bless you, and a merrily-miraculously-so Christmas hoped for you and yours.

Oh.. We Need Him… What a mess we were, us human beings, our whole deplorable human race. We have made crooked places! There is nothing and no one we human beings can hope in to fix the messes we have created with our human condition. Oh, how we needed this transformation that only The Truest Christmas Gift could give us. He was the Savior that we needed. He came to transform us into His likeness. Who do we need most this Christmas? Jesus our Truest Christmas Gift! The only One able to make crooked places straight. We all were created to need God. That is why He came to us. He is a hope like no other. He came here and lived our life without sin, without failure, without hate, without punishment, without unforgiveness, without injustice, without a human condition. How amazing is that?! Jesus paved the way for us, this Way-Maker God, a way of future hope for our humanity. God knew we needed the Truest Christmas Gift, Jesus Christ. Jesus knew everything about our human nature, yet He chose to come us, He came here as a Tiny baby, incarnate, God in the flesh. He chose to come to us, all of us, all of us here on earth, not one of us is forgotten, not one of us is forsaken. He came to us with Kingdom purpose, and became the reason for our Christmas season. We are so grateful to Him, Jesus Christ, Our Redeemer, the One Who came from heaven to earth with the greatest transformation ever to be known to mankind and changed our destiny from the finality of death, to forever life, transforming us forever. So it is with joy that we look to Jesus on this day, in this Christmas Season, we seek Him first, because He is The truest Christmas Gift ever and forever.

How wide open should our heart be? Mine is wide open! My Christianity, It is just NOT religion for me, it is much more personal, it is heart to heart relationship with God. There is nothing better than making it personal with God. I love, love, love my relationship with God. Heart To Heart with God, this is what we were created for. God relationship is what we human beings are wired for in our soul and our spirit. Yesterday God spoke to my heart about being my “Truest Christmas Gift” and I know without a doubt that in my vital-vertical relationship with God, that He is going to unpack this for me during the Christmas Season. Being in personal relationship with God is such a God Adventure of growing through this life on this side of heaven. God is constantly speaking, I hear Him all day long, I hear His heart for all of us. Oneness with God is so miraculous and it began with Jesus coming here to us. How personal is that? I will never get over that. Jesus came here to us. What a HUGE gesture of love Jesus made toward us. I receive it, God’s love. My relationship with Jesus is vertical and it is vital. My personal time with God creates in my heart a “Cross”… how??? Well, I am in a vertical relationship with God, it is very personal and so much more than Sunday Religion. I love talking with God, getting into His Word and He speaks… I listen… First, I change me up, my heart and my life, to the wisdom God shares. After my life is changed by it, then taking what I received from my heart connection with God, I share it horizontally with everyone God puts in my path that day. So my life is a Cross…+ a vertical relationship with Jesus strengthens me in ways where I can have my arms held out wide to the world… do you see the picture of the cross? Vertical with God, Horizontal with the world. Daily in my vital-vertical relationship with God, I receive from God, I open my heart wide to Him vertically in relationship with Him, then I open my life wide to the world, horizontally embracing others with the love and truth of Jesus. My life is a cross. I pray you too know the joy of reflecting the Cross of Jesus Christ through your life. God bless ya.

There is so much to be thankful for! Just start thinking of all those around you right now, family and friends! God creates amazing families and friendships! We have a tough culture right now, a lot of chaos and people in power who haven’t really earned it… making it illegitimate authority serving no power higher than self… and that makes for human messes. We can focus on all that or we can change things up, focusing on the good and being Awe-God grateful. Yes, there are many trials, for sure, BUT God, He has that way of delivering us out of them, one by one. Think on these things, the God interventions where He steps in and does something so radical for us… and be grateful, thankful that God has not forsaken us or forgotten us. Be thankful that things are never as they seem because our God is working in the unseen for our good and His glory. Like I said… it is NOT all bad… we have so much to be thankful for. So…. Eyes up and start thanking our Awe-God and before you know it, peace saturates your soul! Why? Because Thanksgiving is the pathway to The Prince of peace! God bless ya! Leave your “I am thankful for…”comment… let’s fill up this comment section with Thanksgiving! God bless ya! Dig Deeper: https://thebridegroomscafe.com/thanksgiving-awe/ I am so grateful that God refreshes our soul. Sometimes we are just spent and we need that replenishment of our soul from God. Take some time apart from everything that is stressing you out and start speaking gratefulness, it changes your soul attitude. https://rumble.com/v1wh726-grateful-to-god.html

I am thinking Joy is a good choice! Sometimes you have to choose JOY and that is easy to do when you are praising God and your heart is full of gratefulness. But when you are wallowing in despair and hopelessness, choosing joy can be a difficult thing. Why do we let ourselves get so far down in the pit of despair? I kind of think that when we stop being grateful, we lose our peace, it is true… when there is no thanksgiving for what God has done, there is no peace and despair slithers into our soul. When we accept Jesus in our heart, we learn a new kind of thanksgiving that helps us fly with Jesus above all the cultural chaos. It may be noisy in joylessness, hopelessness and hard, hard things that we can’t wrap our mind around. Yet, Jesus, He lives in us, the hope of glory. Sometimes it is so hard to even hear above the noise of the cultural winds that are stirring up so much strife. Yet, we can know peace, we can know hope because as we choose to be grateful in joy and expressive in thanksgiving, our JOY is full and it is expressed as a strong light in the deep cultural darkness. We should choose to express the JOY of Jesus in our soul, and be grateful and thankful for all He has done for us. Praise is a joy-maker! Because of Jesus, we have a future and it is not here in this noisy cultural chaos that we find ourselves in, it is the place Jesus went to prepare for us. This is the truth and we choose to cling to the truth of God and dig our life roots deeply in His Kingdom. God is a strong Rock of security for us in hard times, and we praise Him, our Rock of refuge! Yes, we take our eyes off the world and we cast our eyes up, we focus up on Jesus, and despite all the noise of the enemies wind and rain, all the darkness of the culture that our enemy has blanketed us with, all the storms that are on the horizon, despite all this, we can live in thanksgiving of Who we are and Whose we belong to, and the amazing future He has provided for us. Be grateful! Be Thankful! Be Joyful. Let be, be still and know God’s peace that disrupts the chaos of the culture! God bless you.

I am so thankful we have a God Who finishes well and is so trustworthy. Waiting is best done in hope and trust of God. Sometimes having to wait when it looks like we are losing is not very easy. But the truth is God is a winner, He always wins over evil. When we are grateful, it always leans us into prayer and when we seek God for what we need, even though we don’t know how He will work things out, we can have peace. Because the pathway to peace is thanksgiving. So we praise God today for His faithfulness. We wait in trust, hope and prayer as He works things out purposefully and for His glory in the unseen. I am grateful that God always has a plan. This is an especially huge comfort when we are growing through hard things and it looks absolutely like things are NOT going well. God’s ways are not our ways, so as we wait on Him, we keep a grateful heart and we then we are assured to keep our peace. Thanksgiving is an amazing thing. This season of thanks always leads to the Prince of Peace, isn’t that an amazing thought. Thanksgiving is the pathway to Christmas peace as one follows the other one. God must have planned it that way, because it is perfect and that is another thing to praise Him for. Kingdom Perfection is always His endgame, purposefully so. Therefore, we choose to “grow through” our difficult days with a grateful heart, a soul steeped in Thanksgiving, and we well know the strength of stability in stormy times, this amazing Awe-God peace. God bless you. Dig Deeper: https://thebridegroomscafe.com/thankfulness-2/ https://rumble.com/v1605pl-thankful-heart.html

November 10th Choose To Replenish ChooseReplenish.mov For me, when I need some time off, I choose golf. I enjoy it. Some times we just need to choose to replenish our soul. It was a good choice for me the other day. I needed it, my soul needed it and I was so glad I made that choice to take some time off. Put some rest on your calendar this week. Take some time off, it will be so good for your soul. God puts a lot of things on our plate and we depend on Him to be equipped to carry them out by His strength and navigation. There are times that we can be so very busy and it is all good, and all God directed, but our body gets tired. This is why God leads us to take a “time out” making a choice to step outside of all the hustle and bustle of our lives and take some time to shake off everything we don’t need to be carrying and just replenish our soul. Take a deep breathe of God’s peace in your soul. Replenish! Even Jesus needed a break! As often as possible Jesus withdrew to out-of-the-way places for prayer. Luke 5:16 Choose To Take Some Time Off! Replenish! It is so good to do this, refresh our soul and we need it. We are human, with a human condition. Many times we carry way too much than we should be carrying and we get burdened, kind of like a heavy weight on your shoulders and it makes it hard to walk. Have you ever felt like: I can’t take another step!! When we get tired, this is when we start powering through this and it depletes us totally. This can be our soul, it can be very tired, especially if we are powering through our life, instead of letting God shoulder our cares and burdens. It is hard in a chaotic culture of busy, busy, busy, to stop and take some time off. I feel guilty when I do it. We are conditioned by our culture to go, go, go and go and be productive. God does not expect this from us, in fact He modeled through Jesus the need to withdraw and replenish our soul. We human beings, we usually push ourselves into a crash and burn situation emotionally, physically and spiritually. We keep going until we dead-end. Why not stop and choose to replenish sooner, before we crash and burn!?? We push ourselves so hard, we need to change it up. A Grateful Heart Replenishes The Peace Of Our Soul By Ushering In A God Harmony Like No Other. God Responds To A Heart Of Thanksgiving With His Shalom That Shatters Chaos In Our Soul With His Peace. When I get soul tired, compassion fatigued and I don’t take care of it, ignoring the signs of it, I lose my peace and without that harmony with God, I can do nothing well, nothing that matters. I need time off and when I make that right choice, I do better. So I did that the other day. I just did it. I went and played 9 holes of golf, all by myself. The day was beautiful, the air was clean, fresh and the sunshine was refreshing. It was such a time of God connection for my soul and I enjoyed it so much, because golf is one of my favorite sports. I am telling you that it really refreshed my soul. Do something you love today, take some time off, replenish your soul, refresh your spirit. You will be so glad you did. I sure am glad I played those nine holes of golf. I did not play as well as I would have liked to, but I sure enjoyed it. God bless ya! Replenish Your Soul! Choose To Replenish!

Do you ever feel that restlessness in your soul that actually makes you feel grouchy with that “whatever” kind of attitude. The culture we live in has clashing tides. The incoming tide bounces against the outgoing tide and the current in the middle of this transition can be so very disturbing. We can get in an incredible “soul funk” when the old tide is going out and God is bringing in something new. Sometimes we have trouble moving from the old to the new because the enemy of our soul stirs up current and we get stuck in the rip tide created by his havoc. But, we can’t blame everything on the enemy of our soul, sometimes we are our worse enemy. We just don’t want to leave our comfort zone. We like where we are, we feel comfortable in the flow that we are in. God says to us: “I have something new for you, follow Me into this Great God Adventure” and we who resist change will say: “Whatever”… we get an attitude in our soul that does not want to hear about new things and we tune God out. When God has something new for us, we need to resist the “soul funk” of “whatever” attitudes. This kind of attitude is what stirs up most of our bad current when the old is going out and the new tide is coming in. This is a time like no other time in history where we have to settle it… settle what… settle our “soul funk” by making a decision to give God total access of our lives, to be wholly-holy His and move with the flow of His Kingdom tide, in followship of His Voice. So many times we follow the wrong voice. We need to know God’s Voice, tighten up our vital-vertical relationship with Him and tune out all other voices and listen up to Him. The goal for us is to obey God the first time He asks, to step out in faith. Many times we hear things in our mind and many times it isn’t God saying them. To bring our thoughts into subjection to God and His living Word, the best course is when a thought pops into your mind, especially when you are traversing the currents from old to new things, the best thing to do is take that thought captive: “Who Said That” ask yourself, did God say that? Would God say that? During times of transitions, we must align our thoughts with God’s Word. Did God say that? If we press through the negative current with the power of the truth as we face life transitions, then we will stay in followship of Jesus as He ushers in the new tide of a Great God Adventure that will challenge us and change our lives in ways only He can. Don’t Miss Out. Yield To God. Shake off the “soul funk” of a “whatever” attitude and swim against the cultural tide in the strength and power of God. No more “soul funk” enjoy your Great God Adventure. Have fun! God bless ya.

What does our lives reflect? When people look into the mirror of our soul what do they see? Do they see selflessness? Do they see pride? Do they see humility? Do they see a kind soul? So, basically without God, without that heart to heart relationship with Him, we are not so good. People without God have a mirror effect of all things evilish. What mirror effect do you cast off? Good or evil? Good character or bad character? Which one? As we spend time getting to know God we get that godly mirror effect in our lives. You know God, Who is a very personal God, always has been, always has wanted to have a personal relationship with those He created in His Image, He is a great reflection for our mirror effect. Yes, we were created in God’s Image, this is a mirror effect of God on humanity. The world fogs up our mirror effect with all kinds of smog, pollution, corruption and deplorable mirror reflections happen. A connection with God, a vital-vertical relationship with God, changes things up, giving us a mirror effect that is so pleasant for others to behold and partake in. Who would you rather hang with, a selfish person or a selfless person who has the mirror effect of God’s goodness? We are a reflection, a mirror effect of our heart, soul and spirit, this is who we are. It is not about what we look like in the mirror that matters. We are more than an outward body, and the inside soul of our life, reflects to the outside. What is in our heart will be what flows into the issues of our lives. As we spend time with Jesus, we become a mirror effect of Who Jesus is, a reflection of His grace, mercy, wisdom, kindness, goodness, love, selflessness and hope. “Listen carefully, my dear child, to everything that I teach you, and pay attention to all that I have to say. 21Fill your thoughts with my words until they penetrate deep into your spirit. 22Then, as you unwrap my words, they will impart true life and radiant health into the very core of your being. 23So above all, guard the affections of your heart, for they affect all that you are. Pay attention to the welfare of your innermost being, for from there flows the wellspring of life.” Proverbs 4:20-23 TPT So we get into the Presence of Jesus and let the light of His Truth shine upon us and we reflect the all of His everything, we become a mirror effect of the goodness of God to the world we live in; a good light, a strong light, a consistent light in the darkness of our world is our mirror effect of godliness in our soul. In fact, the mirror effect of reflecting Jesus resembles the shattering of darkness with light. So on this day, turn the Light on… reflect Jesus, be His mirror effect, and shatter darkness wherever you go. God bless ya. Dig Deeper: Resemble Jesus: Less of me and more of God, this is how I respond when I have chosen a vital-vertical relationship with God. At the get go of my day, I bow my life before God and I make a relational heart connection with God, a commitment of accountability to God’s Holy Spirit in the day at hand. I am living out of the spirit from the inside to the outside, therefore the outside does not get the demanded impulsively-willed reaction that it asks for. https://thebridegroomscafe.com/live-responsible/ What is causing my soul to reflect fear? https://rumble.com/v12ys7k-a-unique-reflection.html

To put it simply, grace is Jesus. I heard this today from Paul David Tripp: “The culmination of the Gospel is that Jesus, is the Grace of God, Grace is not a theology first, a way of thinking or just a plan, Jesus is the ultimate embodiment of the Grace of God. No Jesus, no grace. No incarnation, no grace. No righteous life, no grace. No sacrifice, no grace. Jesus is the Grace of God.” We all need to receive Grace daily and to give grace daily, this is a good circle of the wholesome life. We need to be people of grace, be like Jesus in all of our ways. We human beings tend to judge from appearances and assume other people’s motives and love conditionally. Jesus loved us unconditionally, He came here, to us, this King of Heaven, died our death so we could live His life. When He came here, we were definitely not good humans. We rejected Jesus, beat Him, wounded Him and crucified Him. We killed Him. Basically He went to the cross because of Grace and loved us even though we had hurt Him. We hurt Him, He loved us just like we never had done it. This is grace and many of us have not matured to the place where we can change it up to grace. Jesus loved us right where we were at and sacrificed for us selflessly even though we did not deserve it. Are you a person of Grace? Do you judge people from the outside, by how they are acting or by the presumptions you have formed about them. Do we judge by what we see? Do we act out towards others by what we think we know? Everyone has an inner man, an inner reality of what they have experienced and how it has shaped them. People who have been wounded in life by their personal experiences, they may act out until God heals them. It is grace that leads us not to react badly when people act out, and we by grace remember that people have a story behind their moody behavior, and this helps us to be people who patiently endure with grace, loving them unconditionally and being kind when they don’t deserve kindness. This was the way God was with me. I had a trauma in my childhood that caused me pain and I acted out when something triggered that wound, God had grace with me, He gave me grace in the space of my anxiety and hurt and loved me unconditionally to healing. I was given grace-space, therefore I can give it to others because I know the benefit of that is healing. Heart To Heart Viewers, I Pray We Will Be People Of Grace On This Day!

Heart To Heart! Life is busy! I don’t know about you, but sometimes I feel like I don’t even have time to spit! My mom used to say that to me, encourage me to slow down because she said it seemed like I did not even have time to spit. I am in motion all the time. I don’t take much time off for me. I am up really early in the morning, that is my me and God time and that is non negotiable, I love it and I love spending time with Him. But, very rarely is it silence. During times such as these, our soul finds itself in a lot in noisy chaos. Our culture is very, very chaotic right now and it seems like to me, people are more angry than ever before. Wouldn’t you agree?! There is not much silence to be found and not much compassion or kindness. I know that for my mental and spiritual health, I need to replenish my soul. But there is always this next project, this next thing to do. I know that God puts things on my “plate” and I usually know them, the things He tasks me to. But I also know that I put a lot on my plate that should not be there. So I get over busy. I definitely can tell when my soul needs a break, when I need to replenish! What’s funny is, so can everyone else tell when I need a break. I get tired and cranky. Lately I have been building a what I call “sabbath break” into my busy life schedule! Isn’t it funny that we have to “schedule” a break. Oh, that shows my need for change. But, these breaks that I have been faithful to take, they have really helped me to replenish my soul. This video was one of those breaks where I had some “silent” time for my soul. It was sweet. Silence is something we very rarely leave room for in our lives. In fact, silence is uncomfortable for us and when we have a silent moment, we do something to fill it, because it feels awkward. But, lately I am getting used to my “silent” moments that I have been taking and I can tell you, it really does replenish my soul. I did to realize how much I needed the “silence”. So enjoy this 1 Minute Encouragement Video on “A Silent Moment”. And I encourage you to get your calendar out and schedule in a “silent moment” for your soul. You will be so glad you did. God bless ya. Dig Deeper: We don't take time for ourselves in this harried, cultural chaos life season. We need to replenish our soul, but we are so very busy.

Sometimes life batters ours soul and we feel not wanted, hopeless and alone.. It happens… life… and these storms in our lives pop up and batter our mind with the thoughts that we are not wanted and they etch in our soul hopelessness if we think on them. Instead, we need to think on the truth. God wants us. God has always been mindful of us. He wanted us from the beginning before the creation of anything, we were in His thoughts. Before God breathed life into humanity, He was mindful of us. We are loved. We are wanted, and we always were from there to here unto forever, God wants us, God has a great plan for us, an amazing future and hope. The Amazing Truth That Counterattacks The Lies Of Our Enemy Is: We are wanted! It doesn’t matter where we are in our life or what shape we are in or the situation we find ourselves in that is bullying our soul with lies, we are loved unconditionally by our God and always wanted. God loves us. Period. God wants us Period. Sweet truth is He was always mindful of us even before the Universe was, He was thinking of us. Today, He wants us, tomorrow He will want us and into forever, He wants us with Him. People are the ones who batter our soul with their wanting us one moment and the next moment not wanting us. People can be cruel and mean spirited, but God never is, He is kind, generous, loving and always remains the same… God wants us. So, if rejection has come your way has unsettled your soul and you find yourself not wanted and not loved unless you meet specific conditions, shake it off, the evil schemes of the enemy to steal your joy and look up and know without a doubt that God is mindful of us, always and forever, God wants us. He Was Mindful Of Us Before He Even Created The World Or Shaped Us Into Being… God Wanted Us… This is why we celebrate him with all our hearts. And in love he chose us before he laid the foundation of the universe! Because of his great love, he ordained us, so that we would be seen as holy in his eyes with an unstained innocence. For it was always in his perfect plan to adopt us as his delightful children, through our union with Jesus, the Anointed One, so that his tremendous love that cascades over us would glorify his grace —for the same love he has for the Beloved, Jesus, he has for us. And this unfolding plan brings him great pleasure! Ephesians 1:4-6 TPT https://thebridegroomscafe.com/farthest-reach/ Am I only a God who is close by, and not a God of the farthest reaches? Am I a God anyone can hide from? Do I not see what happens in secret? Am I not everywhere, filling heaven and earth? Jeremiah 23:23-24 The Voice There has never been a promise God has not kept.

Our God pursues us, He waits for us, He lets us grow through , giving us enough space until our hearts desire Him. We should never give up hope, we are never stuck in a rut in life, there is always a way out because we have a Way-Maker God who loves us immeasurably so, and we can’t even begin to wrap our minds around this kind of God-Love. https://rumble.com/vay9yn-there-is-a-plan.html

We have these moments in life when God inspires us so much, it is overwhelming, and all we can say is: “God, you have absolutely outdone Yourself,” though we know that is not true, that He can’t really outdo Himself… but sometimes it does feel like that. Wow… today was one of those days. A perfect God given day. I was so distracted with life situations buzzing around in my head and I decided to go take a walk on the beach. Have you ever had those moments in life where you feel like your head is on spin mode and as hard as you try to wrap your mind around your life situation, you just can’t do it. Sleepless nights occur during these spin cycles! Today, I had gotten up really early to pray and spend some time with the Lord, it was dark out and when I finally stepped outside, and saw the day that had shaped up, off I went to the beach. I needed a soul sabbath! Bright, sunny, perfect temperature, a little bit of wind, what a gift from God this day was to me, and I needed it. The Awe of God, this incredible day stirred up in me, it just sat on the distractions and said “be quiet - be still my soul” and the beauty of God’s creation was illuminated in my senses. I realized, despite what I am “growing through” there is so very much to be grateful for. Illumined Soul! It is so true that gratefulness is the pathway to peace for our soul… and this beautiful day, God’s gift to my exhausted soul, I saw the hand of God in it, and it was spectacular, and all I could think about was how incredible our God is in the Creation of such beauty, in the every day maintenance of our world. I stand in Awe of Him. And it is so great when He gives us a day such as this one, a perfect day in an imperfect world, and everything else that we are “growing through” pales in significance to Him and all He has done and is doing for us. God Loves Us… Perfectly! So have a beautiful day, Heart To Heart and God bless you and yours.

Trudge, trudge, trudge up that hill and do not despise small beginnings because God is in the sweat as we persevere and keep moving in followship of Him. Sometimes God leads us uphill. Sometimes it is hard to follow Him, not knowing exactly where we are going. Ever felt that way, ever said: Slow down God, I can’t keep up? Oh No! A Life Detour Ahead! Sometimes I am not even sure what my next step is? Walking up hill, not knowing what I will meet at the top. I don’t like that… do you? It is way outside my comfort zone. When I am walking uphill for a long period of time, it feels hopeless to me, and I find myself in the shadow of doubt, the shadows of life where there is no sunshine and I begin despising that sudden detour, finding my eyes glued on the detour, I trip up, I stumble, I flesh out. These times I find myself lost in the shadows of life, I stop, I pray and I look from where I have come. Then I see the crooked places God has made straight, I see God’s faithfulness and I know He is trustworthy. When the dust in my soul settles, I see Jesus, so I step out once again in the wisdom I know, in followship of Him. In those dark places, in the shadows of life it can be very discouraging and hopelessness can set in our soul. Yet, even in the shadows, God is with us. Yes, even in the shadows of life, the dark places, stay in followship of God, step by step. He will give us enough light for our next step. Take that next step forward today and walk in the wisdom you know. Because God will make crooked places straight: this is the way, walk in it… and when we follow after Him, He leads us into the SONshine. God delivers us out of all of our shadows and He is the joy in the shadow. God bless ya. Dig Deeper: Isaiah 30:21 Your own ears will hear him.

The Prince of Peace is with us. His name is Jesus. There is so much peace even at the mention of His name. It is like a “Shalom” - which disrupts all the chaos around us and ushers in the peace of God. From nation to nation there is a lot of cultural confusion and chaos going on. No matter what nation you are from, you are feeling the lack of peace, it is slippery. To have peace, focus is necessary. Focus on what? Focus on Jesus, His Word, His Way, His life. If we spend time rutting our minds with the chaos of false narrative and fake reality, then we get a false front of peace which is very slippery and we can’t hold on to it. Trusting God, entrusting God with you life, giving Him total access to your life and yielding your way to His is a sure way to a lasting peace. Letting be, being still and knowing He is God is a peaceful place to be, a pleasant place amidst all the chaos surrounding us. Deception is a peace disrupter and finds its power in assumption, speculation, presupposition, rationalization. But in the presence of God’s Word, deception is shot down, it can’t stand. God’s Word stands the tests of time and is always a shelter for us in all the storms that deceptive living brings about. Our whole universe is saturated in deception in times such as these. This makes peace slippery. But, as we stand on the side of truth, speaking it, living it and loving it we will find that peace is not slippery, that it is always present where truth is ruling the atmosphere. So keep the attitude of your heart soaked in the Word of God, in the truth, and live in the reality of truth and your life will have a stable peace that does not slip away in the chaos of our culture. When truth becomes an elusive factor in our lives, when the common denominator of focus becomes chaos and deception, peace will be slippery. Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace and His Truth must be our moment to choice reality. We need to position ourselves wholly-holy aligned with what is true. Shake of the assumptions, the speculations, the opinions, the faceless presuppositions and live in the reality of truth and peace will be yours in the constant-consistent way. Peace Be With You.

God is speaking and He speaks to me a lot through His beautiful creation. He speaks hope, encouragement and peace through the beauty of His Creation. Sit - Look- Hear God through the beautiful creation all around us. When I have a chaotic day and chaos has filled my soul, I can sit by a beautiful lake and hear the peace of God, peace that disrupts my chaos and enters Shalom into my soul. Yes God speaks through the beautiful things He created. There is something about water, being near a lake, a beach or a mountain stream that always speaks peace to me. God said in the Psalms: Oh my people listen to Me. Listen to me in the sunrise, listen to me in the sunset. I hear Him in both those things. I hear God as I see the light glimmering on a lake, I know He is dancing joy upon my soul, light bringing glory to my spirit. I do hear God in the beauty all around me? Do you? Do you see and hear God in creation, and know that He is God, that He is speaking to us. God is all around us, He is in us and all we have to do is listen up. He still speaks. We focus on this world with our natural eyes instead of focusing with the “eyes of our spirit” we tend to lean into the worldly viewpoint instead of the kingdom perspective. Focus up and listen up, because God has not left us for a moment. He still speaks.

He is transcendent above all His works even while He is immanent within them. - A. W. Tozer Jesus Said: “My church, beauty is a part of Me, a replica of My image which reflects the holiness and purity of My life. Look at the rose bud, it has a special beauty of its own, and as it is touched by the Master’s hand, this innocent, tiny and fragile bud becomes a beautiful, strong and highly fragrant rose. My bride, I designed you to have a beautiful spirit, enhanced by My purity, a righteousness you can find only in My Presence. Through My Holy Spirit, I have gifted unique splendor to all that I created; everything has special redemptive value and every created person has unique kingdom purpose. I have placed a beautiful inner spirit deep within human beings, created to blossom in due time with My holy nature and character.” The Bridegroom’s Voice KimberlyMac In reality, the truth of God is known instinctively, for God has embedded this knowledge inside every human heart. 20Opposition to truth cannot be excused on the basis of ignorance, because from the creation of the world, the invisible qualities of God’s nature have been made visible, such as his eternal power and transcendence. He has made his wonderful attributes easily perceived, for seeing the visible makes us understand the invisible. So then, this leaves everyone without excuse. Romans 1

God is in the battle, we do not fight alone. Are you in a battle? Know that God fights for you, that He has the good plan, that He is the winner. God finishes what He starts, and He finishes well. God Wins. We are not alone, we are not losers, we are actually loved in an incredible way, more than we could ever dream, hope or imagine. Never take for granted that God fights for us. God never abdicates His authority to evil. God’s Sovereignty and authority stands forever. God is not asking us to defend ourselves with our own strength and wisdom, He is fighting for our good in the unseen and has a battle strategy working purposefully for our good and His glory. This is His Providential Care and it has two purposes one being for our good and the other being for His glory. He is currently working these two things out, so they counter balance each other and both come out in the endgame of God’s plan. In the transitional time between our good and His glory things can be a bit rough, but that is why we anchor our soul to Jesus. This anchor will hold through the storms of this life. So, once again I state the truth: God has not abdicated His authority to evil. We are still positioned underneath the rulership of His love, we are not alone in the battle, we are facing today, God is in it. God’s sovereignty and authority is a forever thing, while our battles are temporary. Let it sink into Your Spirit that God is fighting for us, His purposes of good and glory are in play in our life. Are you in a battle? Your Commander In Chief, Jesus, has the good plan and He will have the victory. Abdication of His authority is not in His game plan nor in His character and as we look back in heavenly hindsight, we can see that He is faithful, trustworthy and battle ready to fight for those He loves and win the day. It is a lie from the pit of hell that our God has abdicated His authority over evil. Things may seem to be a mess by what we see in our worldly viewpoint, but, look up, focus on Jesus, because there is a good plan in play and it may seem, feel or look like God has given his authority over to evil, but this is not true in the slightest. God is fighting for us in a way we may not be able to wrap our mind around because He is Infinite and we are finite, because He see’s the whole picture and we only see in part. So when you can’t trace His hand, trust His heart. God will always fight for us. We are positioned underneath the rulership of His love and nothing separates us from Him. God’s authority is never abdicated to evil. God is in control. Trust Him.

Heart To Heart, isn’t there those times where you would just like to scream out: God! What are you doing??? Yes! Been there and felt that temptation to fall into the lies of the enemy and get upset with God. He knows what He is doing, He sure does and it is funny that we would question Him, the God of the Universe, the ONE Who created and maintains it all. But, us human beings in our human condition, we have our plans, don’t we. So many times my plans have just exploded and my dreams have died and things went totally opposite from what I planned. Isn’t that the truth!!! It happens! I found myself many a time saying: This is not my plan Lord! I don’t understand Your way, but I trust Your heart for me. Many times I see the Lord opening up a way that I don’t want to go. It is not what I planned. I have bucked up my will against what God was doing, but it doesn’t really work, His Will is stronger and His plan is always better for me even if it doesn’t feel very comfortable. The Sovereign Sway of God, we can see it in our life circumstances very clearly. The Holy Spirit is working in us and we can feel and see the direction He wants us to go from the Sovereign Sway of God in our circumstances, step into it, the way He is moving. So even though we complain and we cry out to God in dismay, the Holy Spirit keeps swaying in a specific direction and we need to step into the “Sovereign Sway Of God”! The Holy Spirit navigates us and as we let be, be still and go in followship of that Sovereign Sway of God’s Will for us, stepping into the sway of God’s Will, peace comes and as always, the endgame of God’s Sovereign Will is so good for us. God bless you, Heart To Heart. Let be and be still, and know (recognize and understand) that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations! I will be exalted in the earth!

Have you ever fallen into the “comparison trap”? This is definitely an easy thing to do. Definitely a trap of the enemy that we can get out of if we don’t stay in it too long. The enemy of our soul, he has a plan using the “comparison trap” and it starts with comparison, but his motive is more sinister than that… he is looking to derail us from the purpose of God for our life. Comparison is not the enemies main goal, the main goal is that comparison leads us to be discontent. Discontentment stirs up our soul and spirit in a negative way and it is very distracting. It takes our focus off of God. Intimes such as these, it is so important to know and hear the voice of God in our lives. We were created with a specific purpose in mind and our life in Him is all about Him developing us, shaping us purposefully so. Did you know we have “divine appointments” that only we can make. We miss out on the things God has planned for us when we are not focused on who we are, but are comparing ourselves to others. Our true identity is in Jesus Christ, and we should compare ourselves to Him and become like Him, the ONE Who is our future. Comparison always seems to drift into ungodly paths one of them is truly a twisted, crooked path of envy of the wicked. We compare our lives with theirs and they seem to have money, power, position, authority and it seems they have all good things, but this is a limited viewpoint. For in all reality of truth they have nothing that will last, they may sprout like grass, but in the end it will all burn up because they have no future and hope. In times such as these, when evil is lifted up as good and good as evil, deception is prevalent in the all of our everything, we must focus up and stand on the truth of God. The truth is, the enemies of God will perish, they will flourish for a short time, but have not future, no exalted forever. I hope and pray we side step that “comparison trap” of the enemy and keep on moving forward with God, letting Him design and shape us, because there is no one like us. We all were created in the Image of God, but God gave each of us our own fingerprint, and He is designing us uniquely to be the best “us” that we could be. No one like us, no one like our God, who is shaping us purposefully on this day. Be yourself. No comparison. Focus up on God, and let be, be still and let Him shape you. God bless ya.

It is so very true that so many of us shoulder things that we just can’ bear alone. We walk around so weighted down by the cares of this life. (Mark 4:19) If there was a label for that, I call it “The Fixer” and I call it that because I am one of the biggest burdened-shoulderbearer-fixer that has probably ever walked this earth. So, you are not alone if you are a “Fixer”! You know it would be so much better if us “Fixers”, just stayed in our own lane and let God be Who (Psalm 54:4) He is, THE Fixer. (Matthew 6:25-34) God finishes what He starts so very well and we human beings, we do not. We humans in our human condition are famous for making crooked places more crooked and God is famous (Isaiah 45:2-3) for making crooked places straight. So we yield up to GOD. You can see people who are burdened down with things they have shouldered, forgetting all that Jesus took upon His shoulders (Isaiah 9:6) for us, so we would not have to be so burdened down in our soul. I walk by people on the beach and they are so weighed down with the cares of life that they are unaware that I have even walked by them, and their countenance is one that is so down, like they carry the weight of the world on their shoulders. Jesus did that for us already (Isaiah 53:4-6) and He asked us to cast our care on Him. So we yield up to God Up is the answer, the common denominator for all that ails us. (Psalm 50:15) Rising up out of our own, man made burdens that have weighed us down and caused us to fall under the weight of them. Looking up into the eyes of Jesus, knowing He is right there, as a Present help, wanting to help us, wanting to shoulder our burdens. (Matthew 11:28-30) Jesus loves us completely, and understands everything about us. He is a Savior who has borne all of our cares on the cross. He understands (Hebrews 4:15-16) our emotions and our heart pains, because He endured them all. It is never too late to look up, rise up and put all of our cares into our hands and offer them UP to God. Rise Up From The Burden And Look Up. Shouldering way too much! I did that many times when I took on things I should not have taken on. I had way to much care on my life plate. I put it on there, God did not. I was so burdened by the weight of being a Fixer, stepping outside of my lane and trying to be what God is and I can never be. One day I walked the beach and I put a situation in my hand (Hebrews 4:16) that had totally burdened my soul, mind, and spirit to the place of tearfully and humbly giving up, that place where God wants us, that place of yielding and surrendering up. (1 Peter 5:6-7) I put my heavy burden in hand and offered it up to God and then turned my hand over as my sign of letting it go, I surrendered UP. I Pray We Will All Rise Up From Being Weighted Down From The Cares Of This Life. Focus Up To Jesus, Give Up To The Holy Spirit, Yield Up To The Father God All You Have Taken From Him. Rise Up And Get In Our Own Lane, Stay In Our Own Lane Surrendered to God. Rise Up and let be, be still and know He is God. (Matthew 5:1-48) Yield Up to God the method and way and the time and step out of His lane giving Him the room to work things out in His way. Watch-Wait-See the glory of God as He miraculously works out His purposes in our lives for our good and His glory. (Romans 8:28-31) God will finish well in that way of HIs which will leave us in Awe of Him. Give up. Look Up. Rise Up. Surrender Up. Yield Up. UP is the key, the common denominator, I pray it will be so. Up for You and Up for Me. Look-Rise-Surrender-Yield-Focus UP, let it be so. Change It Up! (Isaiah 60) Rise Up! DIG DEEPER: ARISE [from the depression and prostration in which circumstances have kept you–rise to a new life]! Shine (be radiant with the glory of the Lord), for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you! 2 For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and dense darkness [all] peoples, but the Lord shall arise upon you, and His glory shall be seen on you. 3 And nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.

We were miraculously formed and shaped in our mother’s womb. We all have that as a common denominator. God designed us in His Image and then shaped us to thrive in this world in Christ Jesus. We were born to thrive. God made a way for us to stay in Relationship with Him through His Son Jesus, and we stay in heart to heart relationship with Him, as He by the guidance of His Holy Spirit, navigates us to be people who don’t just get through every single day just to get through it, but we thrive as we grow through every day in Christ Jesus, through the power of His Word and the direction of God’s Holy Spirit. We listen up to God first! We were born to thrive, purposefully placed as who we are, what we are, and where we are. Success is faithfulness to what God has called us to, and it is in this heart to heart relationship with God, walking with God, in the strength of His Grace, that we thrive. We give God total access to our lives so we can thrive in Him. Walking in the flesh, staying in the tradition of our comfort zone, we will not have the strength we need to succeed. God’s grace is our strength, it is not to be used for us to keep failing, and then applying this grace over our shame. God’s Grace changes things up. It is powerful and transformational, it was meant for us to apply the Grace, the strength of God, from every moment to every choice, to make the right choice that helps us thrive. Grace from God is for strength to do the right thing, not something to plaster over our sins because we have walked by our flesh, kindled a man made fire and walked by this man made fire that flamed out. No. This is not thriving, it is failure, because it changes nothing and we stay in a rut of sin. God’s grace changes things up in our heart so we can thrive and live in the miraculous of great God Adventure. Our “YES" stays on the table with God when we are walking in the strength of God’s grace. We say YES to God before any of our choices even manifest, we know we will lean into God’s Sovereign sway, making the right choice that pleases Him and causes us to thrive in this life. We were born to thrive, and we have been given everything we need to do so. Jesus is our enough, and His Grace strengthens us so we can thrive, we can grow through anything. Many are the trials of good people, but God delivers them out of them all. Why? Connected heart to heart with Him, there is the Grace we need, the strength we need to thrive. So, it is in our best interest that we cling to God, dig our life roots deeply in Him and thrive. God bless ya.

Shake It Off There is an interesting story about the Apostle Paul in the Bible (Acts 28) where the viper bit him and he shook it off and nothing happened to him and it caused the people to not focus on their situation, but to focus on the God of miracles. So today, the Lord is telling us to “shake it off”! We all have been bit by the viper, our enemy who is stirring up chaos in our lives, we need to do like Paul did. Shake it off. Why is it that the bad things take the center of our focus? It seems like all we hear about, see and talk about are all the things that are going wrong in all of our cultural chaos? Honestly, I think we need to acknowledge and think first on the good things that are happening all around us.(Proverbs 3;1-6) The beauty of God in our lives. Maybe it is time to “shake it off” and start developing a new habit of looking for the good and feeling the Awe of God, for the good things that are going on, instead of the fear and dread of the bad things and bad things to come. We miss so many of the good things because we are focused on the bad things. (1 Peter 5:7) Be grateful, Awe-God grateful for the every day things that are so evidently God working for our good. God is mighty in all of His days, we are flesh, truth and we do have bad days, we should learn to shake off the heaviness in our spirit. Rehearse the truth of God: Our family belongs to God. Our Culture belongs to God. Our nation belongs to God. Our world belongs to God. God has not relinquished the control over us to the enemy. So shake it off, (Psalm 55;22)the fear, dread, anxiety and bad thoughts and put on the garment of praise, thankfulness and gratefulness. There are bad things going on, YES, BUT God is working things out for our good and has never stopped doing that from generation to generation. God remains the same God, He is faithful, trustworthy and has and still does love us so much. Remember that God has proven He is trustworthy, faithful and mighty to save us, time and time again throughout the ages as He intervenes on our behalf, fighting the battles of evil for us.(2 Chronicles 20) Jesus told us that we would have troubles in the world, but He also told us that He has overcome the world. The Word of God speaks (Psalm 34:19), saying that many trials will we face, but God will make a way of escape for each one of them. So, let’s refocus our lives on the good and the glory of God that is happening in our situations every single day and let’s be Awe-GOD grateful, developing our Awe of God more than our dread of the enemy of our soul. Can we do that? Yes we can! Easy-peasy! It is just a wholly-holy realignment with Jesus, a change of focus! God bless you!

My church, always be found in Me and I will enlighten your heart and nurture your spirit with an incredible security, a stability surpassing all your human understanding, a peace that I freely give you out of My inner heart of grace.

How are we supposed to hear God? We can’t even hear ourselves think! There is so much chaos swirling around us, but God has not stop speaking, He has not stopped navigating us. If we slow down, if we stop trying to fix things, if we yield to God, listen up closely, heart to heart, we can hear Him, that still small, miraculous voice that is heard in the winds of our time. God still speaks.

Father God, forgive us. We have drifted (Hebrews 2:1) so far away from you. Some days, in times such as these, I don’t even recognize the nation we once were, it is gone. We began drifting away from God, little by little, taking God, His way, truth and life out of our culture until we became a cancel God culture. How sad is that? Now we pay the consequences.

We opened the door to our enemy and he came in and ravished our children, stole the innocence of their youth. We have wounded the generation below us and wounded people, wound people. Would you not revive us again, heal us and restore us to You? Would you not heal the generation we have wounded by thinking we could live life without You. We bow before you, we yield to you, we ask you to revive our land once again. Forgive us from drifting away from You.

Restore our hearts so that we’ll never again feel your anger rise against us. Will you forever hold a grudge? Will your anger endure for all time? Revive us again, O God! I know you will! Give us a fresh start! Then all your people will taste your joy and gladness. Pour out even more of your love on us! Reveal more of your kindness and restore us back to you! Psalm 85 TPT National Prayer https://rumble.com/v2lze90-national-prayer.html Deceit has blanketed our nations 🙏 Isaiah 50:10-11 Father forgive us, embrace us once again in Your power, truth, righteousness, hope and peace. https://thebridegroomscafe.com/national-prayer/

Jesus Christ says: Simply-Significantly Truth Matters. He actually prayed it for us in John 17: Sanctify them by truth. Jesus knew that truth has the power to transform. Don’t give up on truth it will eventually break through the darkness and shine so brightly people won’t be able to look away. People in our time are wallowing in deception and have created fake realities for themselves so truth has no part of their lives. Even if you feel there is absolutely no truth anymore, that deception is running rampant and people are making bad choices because they are deceived, truth matters. Never give up on truth. The enemy can’t indite truth and win. God’s truth stands the tests of time and every trial thrown at it. Truth does not change because someone doesn’t believe it. Unbelief has no effect on truth. Not believing something does not change the truth of it. We must continue to stand on the side of truth and fight the good fight of faith. Speaking truly, dealing truly and living truly is how we fight the deception of our times. Speak the truth continuously, it matters! God’s Word never returns void. Believe in the power of God’s Word to change things up in His perfect timing. The truth we know is coming up against the barriers of a fake reality but as you continue to stand in prayer, and are unloveable from the side of truth, the light of God’s truth will champion the day, shattering the darkness of deceit with glorious light. God will expose and expunge the deception of our time, intervening with a truth that people can’t look away from. Wait On It. God’s Got Us.
