Psalms 47:1, 7 Clap your hands, all you peoples; shout to God with loud songs of joy…Sing praise and understand.
As I was pondering how praising God fits with a lesson on atonement, it occurred to me that praise really is a vehicle for feeling that sense of oneness with God. I don’t know if it’s the same for you, but I generally feel my deepest sense of connection to the Holy Spirit through singing songs of praise and worship. It gets me out of my head and into my heart.

One morning, I was thinking about picking your battles.Our household divorced itself from having a microwave since moving to Missouri.Our new houseguest missed the microwave, so God authorized the purchase of one.My arguments about what was “right” went by the wayside. Continue reading “Let Perfect Love Prevail”
Open your heart, mind, and spirit to receive more love. For the Divine is pouring it out over you that you might be saturated with it. And then from that place of saturated bliss, that you might share liberally with the world at large—for the world is in desperate need of more love. Continue reading “Conduit of Love”
This is a series of six Prophetic Nuggets from “Daily Downloads from Heaven” by Meghan Williams that are connected by scripture / theme. It is a series of three Prophetic Nuggets based on 2 Samuel 22:1-7; 17-20 (VOICE):
David: The Eternal is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; He is my True God, my stronghold in whom I take refuge, My strong shield, my horn that calls forth rescue, my tall-walled tower and strong refuge, My savior from violence. I call on the Eternal, who is worthy to be praised, and I have been rescued from my enemies. The waves of death surrounded me; the torrents of terror tugged at me. The sorrows of the grave tightly tangled me; the snares of death met me. In my time of need I called upon the Eternal One; I called to my True God for help. He heard my voice from His temple, and my cry came to His ears. He reached down from above me, He held me; He pulled me from the raging waters. He rescued me from my strong enemy and from all those who hated me, for they would have overwhelmed me. When my enemies came for me on the day of my destruction, the Eternal stepped in to support me. He led me out onto a broad plain; He delivered me because of His delight in me.
A common theme in my walk with God is how He uses clothing to symbolize our state of mind, character, and conduct. Ultimately, God wants to clothe us with Himself so that we will reflect His character and nature. One night, I had a dream where He used the clothing I was wearing in it to symbolize a challenging truth. Continue reading “Fiery Anointed One”
Do not pick back up what He delivered you from. Who the Son sets free is free indeed! Do not let the fire dwindle down to embers. Stoke your fire daily in Him!
Step into the deep—the mysteries of the universe—like never before. Draw life and energy and abundance as you are catapulted to previously unknown levels. There’s so much more! A world is opening up to you—embrace it now.
The “TENACITY” card from D4Yart Deck 3 is connected to this. The card is based on the “Tenacious Bloom” Dyed4you Art piece, and it reads, “You were created to bloom regardless of circumstance; you are more tenacious than you know. So when life seems to throw obstacles in your path, just be still and allow the way through to be highlighted. For nothing can stop your forward progress – your growth – but you; so stay focused and keep on blooming.”
And if you are seeing this later, I hope you enjoy watching the replay of the livestream. Many blessings on all of you and have a beautiful weekend!Continue reading “Live: Light for the Next Step”
The “OPEN DOORS” card from D4Yart Deck 3 is connected to this. The card is based on the “Heaven’s Door” Dyed4you Art piece, and it reads, “Watch for Divine direction – open doors, green lights, and a sense of peace. Trust the path that opens before you, and trust Spirit to close the doors that aren’t for you so that you aren’t led astray. And when all the paths seem blocked, simply keep watching for the open door to come – the green light will flash on in your spirit and peace will take hold.”
Matthew 6:22-23 (RSV) “The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light; but if your eye is not sound, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!”
I once heard a wise saying that goes something like this, “Whenever you’re feeling negative emotions, it is because you have stopped loving.” Or, as I have come to interpret it, whenever we are in a negative state of mind, it is because we have inadvertently disconnected from the source of love—the heart of God.
We don’t always disconnect from God’s love out of willful sin and rebellion. In fact, I often find my disconnects occur in the subtlest of ways. Usually, I’m going along in life, some minor or major event occurs, and suddenly, my perception of life and God has subconsciously shifted. It often takes me a while to recognize that I’m no longer looking at my life and experiences through the lens of God’s infinite love. Little by little, feelings like fear, shame, guilt, condemnation, and worthlessness begin to creep in and darken my inner man. All in all: I have forgotten that I am loved.Continue reading “The Window of Your Heart”
