talk it up! twitter

Lord, it is my #prayer that we in Twitterverse find a place of complete surrender to You, be the all in our everything this day!

Glory! Nothing can separate us from Your love as we diligently guard our hearts- continuously keep it wholly true to You.

Hey Twitterverse! We Are Loved, Infinitely So! Cling To God's Love Today – An Everlasting Love – With Hope And Promise!

Beware! The enemy likes to flip-flop our call- deceitfully, over a period of time we don't notice it until we are chained with responsibility that belongs to God.

Our call is to God-our Followship is of Him. God's purposes in play all around us-this is ministry- His Kingdom Trade!

Your excellence comes from God and what you complete or do not complete in a day is His purpose in play.

Are you "in ministry"? If so, always remember it is His ministry- Your call is to HIM-everything you do, you do unto Him.

I do Omnipresent Reality Checks throughout my day, to make sure I am serving my CALL TO GOD 1st not my occupation-position.

Every step you take in serving others, the outcome is God's responsibility - He is the only one who can modify eternally

Serve God! Be Called To Him 1^st! You are His vessel-voice-encouragement, but He is the upshot of responsibility – He holds the future.

God's excellence of spirit, courage of faith and stability of belief get compromised when we try to bear the responsibility of earthy position.

You Are Called To God 1^st! God can do more in you-through you than you could ever hope, dream or imagine. God's Got This!

God's purposes are in play around you, they may not "look" like you imagined-hence, stay "positioned" under His grace-be called 1st to HIM.

Lift the burden of responsibility off your shoulders-the enemy would love to chain you with it; the responsibility of your position is God's- your Call is to Him

Start Each Day Say: "God's Got This"! Do unto Him and guard your heart W/ Omnipresent Reality Checks!

My #prayer is that we all keep our CALL Unto God in Holy Alignment with His Kingdom Purposes at play all around us today.

Omnipresent Reality Check! God's Got This! Time To Exercise Our AWE-GOD Gratefulness!

I shut my eyes at night in peace after watching His purposes at play all day, I know He is still at work- finishing all He started

You are called to be in a constant conversation W/God- develop your God Consciousness today W/ every step you take

Exhortation- The Shepherd's Communicated Love-Wisdom!

You are such a blessing to God! One thing that came to my heart when I read your response was what I went through and what I learned while in ministry. It is so easy to bear the "responsibility" because you can, my giftedness became my burden and it happened so subtlety that I did not even notice until one day, completely feeling burned out and tired I asked the Holy Spirit and I was given Isaiah 50... The Holy Spirit showed me that I was kindling my own fire and walking by the light of it, so my giftedness given to me by God was tormenting me because somewhere along the line, I thought I could kindle my own fire and walk by the light of it; the light I kindled did not last and I felt tired, worn out... be ware of that because the enemy likes to flip-flop our call and he does it so deceitfully and over a period of time we don't notice it. Followship... is a call to God not to your occupation, I flip-flopped it... I did not even recognize it until I began to feel heavily burdened by my ministry work. Our call is to God, our Followship is of Him. He has His purposes in play every single day all around us and it is this that we are called to. In ministry, it is His ministry and everything you do, you do unto Him. Your excellence comes from Him and what you complete or do not complete in a day is His plan. I found, I could not do a "position" as well as I could BE in Christ. Your responsibility is to BE in Christ, to keep Your Omnipresence Shining with Followship. I had created a bad habit when the enemy exchanged worldly responsibility with Kingdom Call. So it took some time to reverse it, I had to do Omnipresent Reality Checks throughout my day, to make sure I was serving my CALL TO GOD 1st and not my occupation-position. Every call you take, is truly God's responsibility - He is the only one who can eternally handle it. You are His vessel, His voice, His encouragement, but He is the responsibility bearer. Put your day in and let everything you do, be found in Him, do unto Him, unto your call to Him. Put all your expectations in God Ps 62:5... Don't try to fulfill the unreasonable expectations of mankind, God's expectations of excellence of spirit, courage of faith and stability of belief get compromised when we try to bear the responsibility of earthy position. He can do more in you and through you than you could ever hope, dream or imagine. God's Got This! Lift the burden of responsibility off your shoulders the enemy would love to chain you with, the responsibility of your position is God's and your 1st Call is to Him. His purposes will be in play all around you, they may not "look" like you imagine they would, that is why you need to stay "positioned" under His grace and be called solely to HIM. I learned this as I worked my many years for churches. I started each day knowing "God's Got This" I did what I did unto Him and I guarded my heart, with Omnipresent Reality Checks, keeping my CALL Unto God in Holy Alignment with His purposes and when I left each day, I exercised my AWE-GOD gratefulness, seeing His Hand in my day, watching His purposes at play, I shut the door, knowing He was still at work, He would finish what He started, it was all HIM, His responsibility, not mine.

1 Peter 1:18

Your life is a journey you must travel with a deep consciousness of God. It cost God plenty to get you out of that dead-end, empty-headed life you grew up in. He paid with Christ's sacred blood, you know. He died like an unblemished, sacrificial lamb. And this was no afterthought. Even though it has only lately—at the end of the ages—become public knowledge, God always knew he was going to do this for you. It's because of this sacrificed Messiah, whom God then raised from the dead and glorified, that you trust God, that you know you have a future in God.

Your real future is in God's Kingdom! Your Only Call Is To Him!

Verse Of The Day@biblegateway.com

Romans 3:23-24

"[God Has Set Things Right]But in our time something new has been added. What Moses and the prophets witnessed to all those years has happened. The God-setting-things-right that we read about has become Jesus-setting-things-right for us. And not only for us, but for everyone who believes in him. For there is no difference between us and them in this. Since we've compiled this long and sorry record as sinners (both us and them) and proved that we are utterly incapable of living the glorious lives God wills for us, God did it for us. Out of sheer generosity he put us in right standing with himself. A pure gift. He got us out of the mess we're in and restored us to where he always wanted us to be. And he did it by means of Jesus Christ."

My Thoughts About These Verses As I Listen To The Holy Spirit:

A pure gift! So often I strive to be pure, to be holy, to do things in a right way, a way that would bring glory to God. I so desire for my life to look like Jesus. What I don't realize is that I have been given such a pure gift, it is inside of me, it is Jesus! Jesus puts me in the rightness of His purity and God see's me that way. This gives me the privilege of working out my salvation, being able to learn and grow and experience the truth by working it out inside of me. God has given me the opportunity to grow in His Presence, not bound by the law, but in freedom to grow in His Grace! Thank you Jesus! I have so far to go, so much to learn and I am grateful for Your Holy Spirit, guiding me, instructing me, shaping me to be like Jesus! I was such a mess when You found me, but I can see some shape now, I can see my will bent towards Your truth and my spirit desiring the excellent things of Your Way.

Isaiah 44:21
21 Remember these things, Jacob, and Israel, for you are My servant; I formed you, you are My servant; Israel, you will never be forgotten by Me.

1 Peter 2:9
9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for His possession, so that you may proclaim the praises of the One who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.

Romans 8:15-17
15 For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father!"
16 The Spirit Himself testifies together with our spirit that we are God's children,
17 and if children, also heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ—seeing that we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.

Dear Bob and Kim,

Have you ever felt alone and abandoned by God? I have. Many times. There have been times in my walk with Jesus that I felt I had lost touch with my Abba, Heavenly Father. And I know people in my church who struggle with this issue often. As I have been reading and re-reading a desperate letter from one young lady recently, I asked the Lord to tell me what to say to people who deal with divine abandonment issues. In such times as these we must know what the Word of God (Bible) says and we should memorize scriptures like the ones I've included here. We should get into the habit of praying and mediTating (not mediCating). We should also remember that most of our struggles are temporary. They continue for a season then come to an end. God can and will speak to you during these times of "disconnect." Here are a few thoughts to chew on and remember during these times of disconnect:

1. Even when I feel disconnected from God, He never forgets me. I forget. God doesn't.
