"...for we do not know what to pray..." How many t "...for we do not know what to pray..." How many times have you been so overwrought, desperate, anxious, in pain, afraid or hopeless that you could not think of the words to pray?

"...the Spirit helps us in our weakness..." 

How many times have you known you SHOULD pray, but you can't stir yourself up to do it because life's trials have depleted and exhausted your internal resources??

You have an intercessor before the throne of the Lord God Almighty! Its His own Son, Jesus Christ! HE searches your mind and HEART and HE knows exactly what you're carrying inside of you so HE knows exactly what to pray on your behalf. Don't worry about the words....WORSHIP!

AND...

"...He knows what the mind of the Spirit is..."

HE, Jesus Christ, the one who pleads for YOU and ME and our needs, at the right hand of the Father, knows the perfect will of God and He knows what to pray, how to pray and He is ever faithful. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. 

Your Worship of Jesus Christ keeps you close to Him and He ever lives and pleads for you. THAT IS WHY I WORSHIP.

(Roman's 8:24-27, 34)

That is the point of origin for your praise today! Worship is your witness!!

He is ABLE to do "exceedingly, abundantly"... But He is ABLE to do "exceedingly, abundantly"... But is He ALLOWED to? What is the secret to accessing God's wonder working power in your life??
β€’
Most often, we want to see God's power on display *outside* of ourselves, in our situations and problems. But really, the first step toward seeing power in the circumstances of your life is inviting His power to work *inside* of you. 
β€’
But is He ALLOWED to?
β€’
Giving permission to God's power is NOT easy... if it were everyone would be doing it!! BUT "God's power works best in your weakness." (2 Cor. 12:9) The more time you spend in His powerful presence in WORSHIP, the more willing your soul and spirit become to submit to His power at work in you. 

β€’There is a PROCESS to POWER. And a PATH to PROMISES. "...according to the power that works in us", Paul wrote. But is He ALLOWED to??
β€’
If you want walk in a flow of God's power, and to experience His "exceedingly, abundantly" promises, give Him permission perform a miracle in YOU to through your PRAISE, and He'll take care of the rest!! Eph. 3:20
β€’
Today is a new day. Grab hold of praise, give God permission and access His POWER! πŸ’•πŸ™Œ

Face today with #purpose, #intention and #focus
β€’
1) Set aside the heaviness --- this is an INTENTIONAL refusal to acknowledge your #negativeenergy and emotional responses to life.
β€’
2) Run with #endurance --- Remember the PURPOSE for which you run today and push yourself to keep going when you hit a wall. You WILL make it. You don't have to #run fast, but DON'T STOP.
β€’
3) Look to #Jesus--- FOCUS your eyes on Him by LOOKING into His Word, and LOOKING into His face with your hands raised in worship. 
β€’
He wrote the #story of your #faith (the author) and He will help you get to the end of this chapter (the finisher) bc He wrote that too. But if want HIS ending and not one of your own making, this is how you get there..... πŸ˜πŸ™πŸ™ŒπŸ€²πŸ’• YOU. GOT. THIS. ~Hebrews 12:1-2

It is so easy that most people will never stop to do it..... 😢😍 As you read this passage of Scripture over and over and over you will begin to see its deeper meaning. The difficulty it presents. The strength it takes. The power it holds. The life it brings. 
β€’
Yes, people really do live this way. Yes, every, single day people are pushing past #struggles #disappointment #anxiety #fear, their past mistakes and pain and leaning into this. Clinging to it. Meditating on it. Absorbing it. And finding the transformation that eludes the rest of the world.

"GOD IS...." This picture is from a page in my own "GOD IS...." This picture is from a page in my own private #journal, from a place of deep seeking, when I needed the Lord to show me what I couldn't see. Have you ever been there??
β€’
Let your spirit absorb this today. #meditate on His Word and let the #holyspirit reveal more of Himself to you. The Bible has many descriptions of who God is, why? Because He is too vast for the human mind to comprehend and there is nothing that could encompass His magnitude and Greatness!! 
β€’
But, Bit by bit as you study His Word, He will show you new facets of who He is, as your spirit is ready to receive it. GOD IS.... God is who He said He is!! You can trust Him. You can know Him, more and more, but will you invite Him to show you who YOU are...? And who He is?? πŸ˜πŸ™Œ

God is a #gentleman. He will NEVER force Himself u God is a #gentleman. He will NEVER force Himself upon you. #WORSHIP is YOU inviting HIM. That is an important distinction!! He has already invited you into His presence and told you how to enter (Psalm 100:4). The Lord cannot be ANY closer to you than He already is!!
β€’
But YOU can be closer to HIM. THAT IS WORSHIP!! The Lord dwells within #praise (Psalm 22:3) - You have permission through #JesusChrist to enter into His gates freely. As you WORSHIP, you enter into His presence and open yourself to Him- giving Him your permission to come and change things, to do something new, to #transform, heal, guide, inspire...
β€’
#INTIMACY by #INVITATION is God's desire. The rest is up to you! ❀

THIS WILL CHALLENGE YOU: Most people don't conscio THIS WILL CHALLENGE YOU: Most people don't consciously make the decision to bow down and #worship someone other than God- even if they aren't a #Christian. However, you were CREATED to worship. You literally cannot help but show your allegiance and #love and #adoration to SOMEONE or SOMETHING.
. 
#Satan is aware that you were created to worship the #Lord- it's why HE was created too! That is why he wants to lure your mind away to worship other things- a #relationship, your own ideas and plans, your family, your career, ambition and dreams, your money, your spouse, another person, even a pastor or a worship leader! Satan doesn't care who you worship AS LONG AS IT ISN'T THE LORD. .
Worship MUST be an intentional, spirit-led action that drives you out of a self-centered mindset where we spend more time and effort on the things that concerns us and into a God-centered mindset where our minds and hearts are filled with His #glory, greatness, mercy, power, goodness, love and more!.
.
If you're not intentionally making the time to worship the Lord on your own, chances are you're unintentionally worshipping something or someone else. THAT'S A CHALLENGING THOUGHT! Worship represents utter defeat to Satan, so the more you worship, the less of a grip he has on your mind, will and emotions because your mind isn't on YOURSELF!. What a beautiful, deadly #weapon WORSHIP is, praise God!

#WORSHIP is about THE LORD, not about the #worship #WORSHIP is about THE LORD, not about the #worshipper. "Worshipping" the Lord with an agenda is wrong thinking and will #disconnect you from His presence. Will you receive from the Lord if you minister to Him? YES YOU WILL. But you must worship for a REASON (He is worthy!) not for a RESULT. .
.God is #faithful. If you truly believe that, you will worship with gratitude for NO OTHER REASON than because of His goodness, greatness, power, mercy, compassion, sacrifice, love, majesty and everything else. THE REST IS UP TO HIM and (I'll say it again): HE IS FAITHFUL.
.
YOU ARE #BLESSED. Only Satan offered wealth, power and authority in exchange for worship. MY GOD WILL SUPPLY ALL YOUR NEEDS ACCORDING TO HIS RICHES AND GLORY. (Philippians 4:19).
.
No agenda. No conditions. Just worship.
