The Lord is Patient With You

And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them. For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day. Luke 17:23-24


Many people in the world today declare that tomorrow the world will end!  Well, perhaps
not tomorrow, but many have clearly stated that this year, the year 2012, is the 'end of the
world.'  Really?


The Lord is being patient towards you.  He is being patient towards all of us, but especially

towards those who have not yet accepted Him into their lives.  God is a God of mercy, and

of great patience and compassion, and He is not willing that any should perish apart from His

love and grace, but that all would come to repentance in Christ Jesus.

The Bible says that only God the Father knows when the end will come.  However, God's Spirit

will not always contend with man, and God's patience towards us is not infinite.  Just as Scripture

says that "Jesus wept", so even today Jesus weeps for those who continue to reject Him and put

Him off, saying, "He will never return," or, "I will wait until tomorrow to accept Jesus".

Have you ever truly longed for something, and then what you wanted never came?  I know that

has happened to me on several occasions, because of certain circumstances which arose

and would not allow me to follow through with my plans.  On the same note, God's Word tells

us to not boast about tomorrow, for "you do not know what a single day will bring forth."

To put Christ's salvation off until another day is a dangerous thing.  We don't even know

what is going to take place tomorrow morning!  God is serious about people accepting

Jesus, His Son, and repenting of their sins and putting faith in the "Lamb of God" which 

takes away the sin of the world.

God is being patient with us.  He is not willing for any to perish and go to hell, but for

all to reach repentance and saving faith in Jesus Christ, His Son.  God did not send

His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.

In Him,

Noah

Gain the World to Lose Your Soul

What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? Matthew 16:26
Truly walking with the Lord takes time, dedication, discipline, and care.  When the Lord calls us to Himself, He is not calling us to a dry and arid, hapless and boring walk.  When someone chooses to take up their cross and follow Christ it is a decision that lasts a lifetime.
God's Word says that the broad road leads to destruction (hell), and it is the narrow roadwhich leads to eternal life.  It is true that the heart believes in Christ unto righteousness, andwith the mouth confession is made (unto) salvation.  However, the narrow road requires great dedication and fortitude, patience and time.  It's no wonder the Word of God equates the Christian life to a race (see Hebrews 12:1).
It is so very easy to get caught up in the world around us, with all the distractions out there to get us off the narrow path which leads to life.  Even if someone were to 'gain'the whole world itself, but lose their very soul, how tragic that would be!
God doesn't always promise that life is easy.  Take a look at Christ's life...and He is our example.  Even so, God's grace is always sufficient for us in our weakness, for Jesus says that His 'strength is made perfect in weakness.'
In Him, Noah

Exploring God Through Music

God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. John 4:24
My experience with music has been spontaneous, wild, and unconventional!  I started playing music as a young boy, and actually started writing songs by accident if you can believe that!  I just happened to start playing a couple of songs that had been swirling around in my head one day.  Hours later I put words to the piano tune I had dished out, and I had my first song.
God delights in our worship of Him.  He created us for worship!  We all have differing gifts, whether it be dance, or the ability to write music or to play an instrument, but we each have our unique and individual ways of touching the heart of God and blessing Him with our worship.
No greater freedom or liberation can be experienced than that of giving oneself fully to praising the Lord God.  He created us to worship Him above all else.  For He is a Jealous God and He desires our worship more than we know.  

No one is more creative than the Lord.  Allow Him to stir up creative ideas for worship, within you, in new and exciting ways.  Blessings, Noah

The Least of These My Brethren

“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ Matthew 25:40

Tonight I was just praying in the Spirit and hear the Lord
speak Matthew 25:40 to my spirit.

We should always love one another, and see to it to build up
one another in the faith.

Whatever you do in this life for the least of these His brothers
and sisters, you REALLY are doing it to the LORD Himself!

Jesus loves us and died for each one of us! Remember not to forget
to help others when it is in your power to do so!

Faith without works is dead,
Noah

Learning to Wait Upon the LORD

We are promised in Isaiah 40:31 that when we wait upon the Lord,
we renew our strength and position ourselves to mount up upon wings
like eagles.

God has many of you in a waiting place right now. Enjoy this time
to seek His face, minister to His heart, and to receive all that
He wants to give to you!

He loves you!
Noah

Some New Things

The Lord was showing me that He has some new things for some
of you out there!

God is the giver of good gifts, and He loves to shower His
children with GOOD GIFTS.

Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and He will add
all things to you!

Pray without ceasing, Noah

Walking in Wisdom and Righteousness Above ALL!

“I, wisdom, dwell with prudence,
and I find knowledge and discretion.
Riches and honor are with me,
enduring wealth and righteousness.
My fruit is better than gold, even fine gold,
and my yield than choice silver.
I walk in the way of righteousness,
in the paths of justice,
granting an inheritance to those who love me,
and filling their treasuries.
—Proverbs 8:12, 18-21

The coming days require great wisdom, grace, provision of God, mercy, perseverance, and
committed and TOTAL trust in the LORD THY GOD!

Don't let anything move or shake your peace of MIND!

Stay focused on the GOAL! Focus on the LORD! Trust in the LORD!

He has everything under control!

God IS IN CONTROL!

Amen!
Noah
