  Music - God's Comfort to All

"As Mother Comforts her Child so will I Comfort YOU " - Isaiah 66:13

 God made the hearts, minds and souls of those that sing and play music. He also made your heart, mind, and soul that can Feel the Love and Grace of God. Certain songs and music move you in a Loving way.  "God is Love " so maybe he is reaching out to you, even as your feelings bear witness to the Love you feel when certain Music is playing.

  Music is spoken of or used in the Bible many times. Some examples are -- 1st instruments( if not the 1st ) from Cain's lineage, David playing for Saul when Saul had an ominous spirit,  Psalms are songs, and many more times are songs/ music mentioned. 

  In order for a person to Receive their Full Measure of God's Love, they should be in a proper state to receive it. In order to receive and do God's Will to the Fullest extent, a body & soul should be immersed in the Love of God. There is a simple method to accomplish both in one sitting, but there are a few mandatory Rules : 1). Do not use this method as a Test of God 2.) Do use it, if you Honestly Seek his Love and Will ( God's Will for you should not be corrupted by outside intervention or meddling ) 3. Be in a Calm and Peaceful Mind and Place.

  A Method:

 1.) Go to a Calm and Beautiful place where you can be alone and away from any distractions for a few minutes..... I place devoid of anything man made.

2.) Take these 3 items with you: 1.) Bible - with the easiest to understand translation you believe is Truth  2.) A pen or pencil 3.) A favorite Song that touches your Heart & Soul.  Examples: I have used " Wind Beneath my Wings " -- Jesus is my Hero,  " Higher Love " -- as we all Crave a more Perfect Love ..... choose your own Song, the type does not matter. Only Feelings the Song invokes matter... Try to steer clear of Hymn's if you can as many of those pertain to Praise & Worship of the God ( Jesus ) our focus here is Love.

3.) When you have arrived at your chosen place, reflect on and See the Magnificent and Beautiful creations of God. 

4.) When you are calm ask God to Reveal his Will & Love for you. Do not speak a word, God can hear your thoughts quite well.

5.) Reflect on Who is the Creator Of Love and People. Is he also not the one who created the people that wrote, play and sing the Song(s) you have chosen? Is he not the one that created your ability to feel Love? Certainly the answer is Yes to both of these questions. Now,  Plug in the Song you have chosen-- Hear and Reflect on the Words and the Meaning as if they are God's own Word's/ Song(s) Reaching out to You. In Truth they are God's Word's, Meant just for You and to You; at this moment in Time. If you are receiving God's Love in Truth, you will Cry Joyful and Refreshing Tears. No human Cup( flesh ) can hold the Boundless Love of God. Our Cups(Body/ Spirit) runneth over( overflows ). This overflow of Love manifests itself in Flesh, by the Tears to a Cleansed Body. In Spirit( Soul ) by Burden(s) lifted.

6.) Now cleansed by the Love of God, you have Eyes that can See and Ears that can Hear.

7.) Take your Bible and without looking drop it over your shoulder onto the back floor board ( if you do not have one improvise ). Blindly twist, turn, drop in front seat or whatever means you chose to insure you do not know how the Bible lands in the back floorboard. This takes any temptation or desire away from one wanting to go to any specific area of the Bible.

8.) Take pen( or pencil ) in hand. Calmly and without looking, reach behind and gently place your pen inside the Bible. Make a small mark on the top or bottom page after you feel you are at the right location. Its ok to try and insure your mark hits words on the page you are at. If you miss, hit blank pages or those without scripture; reflect some, calm down and retry. Squeeze the pages around the pen so as you retrieve it, you can easily find the mark you made.

 You should be exactly where God wants you to be. Reflect on the Word(s), The Story, The Meaning of the story or words and how they might be relevant to you. Not all will be the same, some may just need 1 word, some the story, some the application of the meaning of the story  .... you should easily see what God is telling you. This is just a start, and by no means should be used if the Cleansing Criteria has not been met. Use Music that reflects Love with God, all you want .... after all, he put it there for our Comfort.

  Now, you have Knowledge of God's Will or Lesson. Maybe not the entirety, but a good 1st step at least. This is between you and God...it is no others business. If you are sure God has directed you to divulge his Will for you, or ask another's help to discern, then do so. Please be very careful for many have ensnared themselves, in thinking their mission and God's Will, is to Preach or Teach. 

  God's Love for us is Boundless, we often put boundaries of our own making in place: these then inhibit, restrict, or cut off God's Love. God gave us Music for our Comfort, Enjoyment, to depart Evil Spirits, Ease Burdens, and to Praise God.

 Keeping things legitimate, one of many Scriptures concerning Music:

 And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.

 

God gave us (his children) a Fun, Pleasurable & Beneficial Instrument (Toy) to Play with, Music. Children Play to have Fun. God's Music Plays so we can Feel a small measure of his Love. Why not go out and have a little Fun?  Why not let God make you an Instrument for His Pleasure?

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
