Waiting

As I look up to the morning sun,

I wait for love and trust in You. 

No choice but LIFE, the beautiful one,

I know You are faithful and true.

Isaiah 40:31
They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint,
Help me Lord, help me Lord, to wait.

ENJOY GOD

I believe we were created to enjoy God and enjoy LIFE! He has given us richly all things to enjoy, including Himself. He sees us as perfect and He wants to BE with us, and actually hang out with us, all the time. Jesus is the way to God, our heavenly Papa. Simply ask Jesus to be real to you. He will make Himself known to you with His awesome presence. My favorite verse in the Bible is "You show me the path of LIFE; in Your presence, O God, is the fullness of joy and in Your right hand are pleasures forevermore." This verse is found in two places Psalm 16:11 and Acts 2:28. Jesus told us the reason He came to the earth is to bring us ABUNDANT LIFE. (See John 10:10.) Whooohooo!!! Thank You for LIFE, Lord Jesus!!! I love it!

Angelina's God Book

How does a child view God? My little friend, Angelina, age 8, graciously gave me permission to share some of the entries she has written in her "God Book" as she calls it. Children know more than we realize sometimes!

Angelina wrote:

God is amazing. God is GOOD.

There are hearts open for God.

The Bible contains the mind of God.

God, the kingdom is the best.

Love love…sing to the love.

Put your heart into it. –God

Remember Who You Are

Identity is key. Who do you believe you are? When you know you are a son or daughter of the King of all kings, it changes your life. Forever.

I have a stack of precious books that I call my “Bethel books”. When Heaven Invades Earth by Bill Johnson, The Happy Intercessor by Beni Johnson, and The Supernatural Ways of Royalty by Kris Vallotton are in my venerable collection. They are books to read and re-read. They are books to share and to make sure you get back. They are books to quote from!

“The promised land of princehood is filled with the Father’s blessings. He wants to lavish His love on us, pour out His blessings in us, and give more that we can contain. The Psalms put it best, “How blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who greatly delights in His commandments. His descendants will be mighty on earth; the generation of the upright will be blessed (Ps. 112:1-3)…We become the person He [God] has called us to be when we meditate on the things of God and dream His dreams. The Psalmist wrote, “Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart” (Ps.37:4)..…Desire has two parts: “de” meaning “of” and “sire” meaning “to father”. When we delight ourselves in God, instead of hanging out in our past, He becomes the father, the sire of our dreams…We reproduce what we feast our thoughts on.” –Kris Vallotton, excerpts from The Supernatural Ways of Royalty

When we BELIEVE in Jesus and become followers of Him, we call ourselves “Christians”. That means “little Christs.” When our heavenly Father looks at us He sees the image of the Son He loves. Our daddy is King and we are destined for greatness! The Bible tells us to meditate on the truth. “As a man thinks in his heart, so he is” Prov. 23:7. REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE!

Freedom Blessing

Freedom Blessing

A couple of years ago, on New Year’s Eve, my pastor, John Himmelberger, asked if he could pray for me for more freedom. I didn’t think I needed more freedom, but I now know I did! Freedom in the Holy Spirit is wonderful. “It was for freedom that Christ set us free.” (See Galatians 5:1.) Free to be all that God created us to be, free to grow and bloom and be more and more like Jesus every day. Our heavenly Father has so much for us! In our lives we typically only recognize a small portion of our blessings. Today I would like to bless you with more freedom. Just insert your name in the blank and receive all these blessings from the Lord that are all yours already!

Dear _____, Today I bless you with receiving the Truth that the Lord promises will set you free. I bless you with knowledge of your Papa’s awesome, extravagant love for you and how He treats you with special care because you belong to Him. I bless you with a new understanding of your freedom from anything holding you back such as fear, worry, negativity, complaining, distrust, or doubting. I bless you with freedom from loneliness and a new awareness that Papa is with you 24/7. I bless you with freedom from anything that would make you unusable for the Lord’s glory. I bless you with a desire to forgive anyone who has hurt you and to forgive and forget any offenses. I bless your spirit with the freedom from distractions to seek after God and love Him with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. I bless you as FREE INDEED. Free from the bondage of worrying what people think. Free of all the negative stuff. Free to share our faith with confidence. Free to give generously and enjoy it. Free to worship and express emotions and enthusiasm. Free to dare to be different and unique. Free to be child-like and have fun and goof off. Free to dance without self-consciousness. Free to believe. Free to love and be loved. Free to be affectionate and receive it too. Free to receive all the promises in Scripture! I bless your mind with the freedom to dwell on all good things--whatever is lovely, whatever is of good report, and whatever is worthy of praise. I bless you with freedom to stand—unshakeable-- in victory and triumph over sin, not by your own might or your own power, but through the empowerment of the Holy Spirit. I bless you with a revelation that you can do all things through Christ Who strengthens you. I bless you with the freedom to declare the truths of God’s Word and take authority in the name of Jesus. I bless you with ears to hear your Papa’s voice better and to hear Him call you by name with tender lovingkindness. I bless you with eyes to see into the supernatural realm and recognize the riches of our inheritance and our identity in Jesus. I bless you with the revelation that we are co-crucified, co-buried, co-resurrected, co-enthroned, and co-heirs with Jesus! I also bless you with the ability to see yourself the way Papa does—free of sin, perfect, and beautiful. I bless you with a new zeal for encouraging others in the Lord, for evangelism, for prayer, for healing, and for using all the gifts so freely given to us from our Papa. I bless you with the ability to receive empowerment in the Holy Spirit. I bless you with the desire to give thanks always, to rejoice in all Papa’s good gifts, and to celebrate FREEDOM!"

Oh the glorious FREEDOM of the children of God! (See Romans 8:21b.)

Please say this poem aloud with me to receive additional freedom.

Freedom Poem (Author unknown)

I believe in love.

I believe in miracles.

I believe in freedom.

I like to color outside the lines.

I like to dream without fines.

Busted parking meters.

I like to push the pedal.

It’s time to release.

It’s time to be freer than walls.

It’s time to answer the call

To be who I am

Strengths, weaknesses, and all.

I believe.

His love is untainted for me.

I am free.

[I got the idea of giving a blessing from the book Blessing Your Spirit by Sylvia Gunter and Arthur Burk. However, “Freedom Blessing” is written by me, JennaSilliman@gmail.com www.TheDanceOfLifeWithJenna.blogspot.com and I’d be so happy if you would pass it on. Feel free to share it!]

SHE…Who Dances by Fire

By Diana Summers

April 1, 2013

I have called forth

a new brand of believer

from my Body

saith Christ…

Hand picked and preordained…

they are the very

Apple of Mine Eye…

Consecrated…yea…completed

walking HOLY and BLAMELESS

with Me…

Hand in hand and

HEART to HEART

these remnant

LOVE VESSELS

shall sweep the lands…

and their LIGHT

shall shine forth

as the very SUN!!

this Woman…

…My BRIDE…

shall stage

a RADICAL DEMONSTRATION

as SHE

walks in the close place

of IMMUNITY

sheltered-sealed ‘neath Mine Wing…

Yea…SHE is held secure

in Mine Great Palm

and sealed by the Kiss of My gratitude

for Her

OBEDIENCE…

Oh how I love Her…

How I LOVE HER…

And proclaim to all

that nothing shall touch Her…

NO…NOTHING

as SHE reaps with JOY

what many before have sown…

SHE is exquisite!!

So beautiful…So RARE

Mine Own TREASURE

Mine Own BODY

FLESH and BLOOD…

MINE BRIDE!!

Yea

all of Heaven rejoices now

as We watch HER…

this beautiful

stunning

BODY of MINE…

Detached from all that binds

consecrated

and grafted into the Kingdom of LIGHT

abiding confidently

in My Provision…

In My Healing…

Is SHE not glorious

as SHE moves in perfect FREEDOM

and in My abundance

poured out for Her

in the last days’ Grace?

…COME…

My darling Bride

…COME…

COME and dance…DANCE

DANCE

DANCE

in FIRE

in LOVE

in POWER

…COME…

Join Me completely

for the final victory…

for the

DANCE of FIRE.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[Come] and, like living stones

be yourselves built into a spiritual house

for a holy (dedicated, consecrated) priesthood,

to offer up [those] spiritual sacrifices

[that are] acceptable and pleasing to God

through Jesus Christ.

I Peter 2:5

In a work by the late E.E. Brooks entitled “The Dance of the Virgin,” he explained how the word “dance” means to “birth.” I find that so magnificent for are we not birthing more souls into the Kingdom of God?

I sense that we are each experiencing a mighty interior expectancy as the world grows darker and the Holy Spirit works with vigor preparing us for our ascension in order to do our work in Union with Jesus and Father. Hallelujah!!!
