Thank you and Blessings to the Precious, Faithful Saints Who Have Faithfully Walked Before Us!

Lively Living Stones — Built for His Glory and Praise!

Thank you precious saints for the paths of righteousness, love and faithfulness that you have walked out in your lives unto our Beloved LORD, carving out a path of LIGHT in the Body of Christ for those coming up after you….

As you have been faithful to build upon the true foundation of Christ in your lives and ministry, you have allowed the next generations in turn to be set in place, on a firm foundation to become lively, Living Stones that our LORD continues to builds upon…. until we all reach the perfection of Love and Light in Him — a Living Temple built for His Glory and Praise!

He is your Crowning Glory

As I have had the precious privilege of corresponding with a few of you, over the last little while, I realize that some of you commiserate over the changes that have come with aging… wistfully looking back to days of greater physical strength and vigor.

But please dear ones, do not allow yourself to be defined by these current limitations that you are facing…

Take the hand of your LORD and Christ — His empowerment through The Spirit is your own!

Father says, “I AM your Crowning Glory.

In Christ you are treasures beyond compare.

I have seen your lives of faithful love and obedience.

Every one of your days is written in My Book….

I know your true worth and beauty.

You are a sweet smelling savor of Christ Jesus unto Me.”

Ever Enfolded in Love

I have just allowed The Holy Spirit to gently build upon this Word over the past few weeks as I have carried many of you in my heart up to Him.

Ahh, and this is where “the work of the Kingdom” is done — nu? … upon our knees, enfolding our hearts within His… in order to receive the burdens that He places upon our hearts… lifting them back up to Him in joyful anticipation of His great good on behalf of others.

My heart is full — feeling and sensing The Father’s deep Love and affection towards these precious lives who have served Him so faithfully.

Now it’s our turn to “complete your race” … even as Hebrews 11:40 tells us that together, we fulfill the race of those who have gone before us in the “Cloud of witnesses”

“Because God had us in mind and had something better and greater in view for us, so that they [these heroes and heroines of faith] should not come to perfection apart from us.” Hebrews 11:40.

Psalm 92 Audio Prayer and Verse

Personal Meditations enfolded in Psalms 92, based on “The Passion Translation”

Praise!

LORD it’s so good to come before you!

We come before you with hearts spilling over in PRAISE!

~ singing together with all our hearts to the MATCHLESS GOD!

~ High and exalted over all!

At each and every sunrise we will bring our thanks to You,

for your kindness, your mercy and your love!

And as the sun sets and all through the night

we will keep proclaiming,

“Father, You are so faithful!”

Our hearts flow together and we become a symphony of praise to You!

LORD, my heart bursts in praise for all You’ve done- Your joy fills me!

Just to catch a glimpse of the awesome of Your mighty miracles, and to see Your power at work!

…depths of purpose and layers of meaning saturate everything that You do!

Such amazing mysteries found within every miracle…

The deep and glorious secrets hidden in Your ways…

You Oh LORD, are exalted forever in the highest place of endless GLORY!

Your anointing has made me strong and mighty.

You’ve empowered my life for triumph

by pouring Your fresh oil over me!

Yes! Look how You’ve made all of Your devoted ones

to flourish like palm trees …

Each one growing in victory, and standing with strength.

You’ve transplanted them into Your heavenly courtyard

where they are thriving before You.

For in Your presence they will overflow with Your anointing!

Even as they age, they will stay fresh and vigorous,

bearing luscious fruit and abiding faithfully

in love, trust and contentment.

We proclaim together,

God, You are so good! You are our solid Rock

and the firm strength of our heart forever!

Amen!

Prayer

Father,

We thank you for Your faithful, unfailing love to Your Beloved children.

In this season of their lives, we ask Lord Jesus that You would be their very strength and vitality, break the bands of infirmity and frailty, Take down all of the enemy lies that speak “less than”, and “inevitable weakness”…

We know of the strength of Your promises and so we boldly declare Your triumph LORD Jesus, Your very health and vitality to be fire in their (and our) bones in this season, and like Caleb, may they boldly say, “LORD, give me this mountain!”

Psalm 145 & 37 Audio Prayer and Verse

Faithful Enduring Love to All Generations

Excerpts and prayer meditations from Psalm 145 and Psalm 37

• Grace empowerment dear ones
• and the anchor of Christ’s Peace
• diminishing all fears of want and lack…
• God’s Peace-Garrison and Mount Guard Over Your Hearts!

“Rejoice in the Lord always [delight, gladden yourselves in Him]; again I say, Rejoice!
Let all men know and perceive and recognize your unselfishness (your considerateness, your forbearing spirit). The Lord is near [He is coming soon].
Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God.
And God’s peace [shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them].
Practice what you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and model your way of living on it, and the God of peace (of untroubled, undisturbed well-being) will be with you.” Philippians 4:4-9 AMPC.
