April 21 2008 Word
Over the last couple of weeks I have started seeing people's lives touched like never before. I have also noticed an exceptional change in my very own life. All I can give credit to is God the Father, I have come to a conclusion in my life that I am tired of disappointing God and not standing for what I truly believe. Since then I have been more bold to share my faith and testimony with others, start this blog, assist in starting the new 1way radio show.
All this spawned from a decision, a decision to live life the way God would want me to live it. Now dont get me wrong I still fall, i still stumble but at least I have a goal in mind. I have also learned if we keep our mind on Jesus all the time, We will be less likely to make bad decisions or sin. This will also open your eyes to what God truly wants for your life.
I am giving this testimony to encourage you to strive for a better life, a life full of joy and peace. I did not get to point where i am easily. I feel like i have traveled through hell and back many times but most of the time it was from my ridiculous mistakes. We create a lot of our own problems and issues. This is why it is so important to have a mind like Christ, seeking the Father in Heaven. When we do this, it will cause us to make good choices and good decisions.
My prayer today is that we will strive to be more like Christ. That we will come to the Father and ask for a Christ like mind and heart. Always keep your mind on The Father and his wonderful grace and mercy. Lets do this together and show this world a better life, a life full of meaning and love.
Father thank You for this day you have given us. Today we pray that You will keep your mighty hand upon us and lead us in the truth. I appreciate You so much and I thank You for your children. I pray that we build each other up and help each other, show Your love to one another.
Be with the lost and the strayed away today Father, put them in our paths. We thank you and praise you this very day, in the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.

I was before the Lord tonight, just spending time with Him and I was reading out of Song of Solomon where the Lord brought the Shulamite into His banqueting house..sat her at His table and covered her with His banner of love. I began to just sing that before Him and meditate on that concept. God..the uncreated One..bringing us..drawing us into His secret place. His idea, not ours. He set His banner OVER her...His love became a shield in her life. Also..it became part of how she thought of herself. As we pursue that revelation and go deep in the understanding, that His desire is for us and we allow Him to work that truth in our hearts then we become free from shame and reproach. The Shulamite said "even in my darkness you call me lovely". She had a heart revelation that even in her weakness He called her good. Her identity became rooted in this understanding..and we see her moving from a place of immature love to a place of mature love...where later in the book she emerges from this wilderness place leaning...trusting on her beloved. He began to ask me..will you go to the wilderness with me? Will you allow me to root out those places in your heart that hinder love? Will you allow Me to place my identity in your heart? That you may be rooted and grounded in the knowledge of who I am.
My answer: Lord..remove all that hinders Your love and Your work in my life. Let Your word define me...be the seal on my heart!

Bruce that was a great word today we need to be awakened to see how the enemy is trying deceive to separate his body which is the church. Jesus said He was the way the truth and the life, not denominations I can't wait to see what is going to happen when we realize its all about LOVE for Christ and not tradition.We must worship Him and Him alone in SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH. This is a poem God gave me in 1995 Oh how lonely darkness must be, to never feel the LOVE of God that he wants to give to you. If you could only open up your heart, all the sin of darkness would depart and know that Jesus is standing there, because he cares. Sin is fun only for a season, that's when you left Jesus for know reason. You may laugh and you may scorn but the blood is not on my hands for I have warn.

I AM SO THANKFUL FOR WHAT GOD IS SHOWING ME. THAT HE WANTS HIS CHURCH TO COME TOGETHER IN UNITY, NO DIVISON. THAT HE HAS CREATED US ALL EQUAL, NOT ONE BETTER THAN THE OTHER. I LOVE JESUS SO MUCH, BECAUSE HE FIRST LOVED ME, HE DIED FOR ME, HE WAS BRUISED FOR ME, HE TOOK 39STRIPES ON HIS BACK FOR ME. HE IS SO VERY AWESOME. THE WORK HE IS DOING IF ONLY WE WILL LET HIM DO IT. IF WE WILL LET HIM BE HIS-SELF.
