Make A Joyful Noise....

Psalms 100:1-5 Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

Making a joyful noise is not just in our songs but also in our actions and our words. It can be in our instruments, our prayers, our preaching, our testimony’s, and also in our shouts unto our father up above.

I do not feel as though I’m the only author of this month’s readings; God showed me the idea right after Christmas but this reading was written by the many children that were moved on by the power of God. He showed me something I knew but as He helped me to put it together it shows that every word, song, or action should be brought to the Lord with a joyous and thanksgiving heart whether you are in church, shopping in Wal-Mart, buying groceries, paying bills, washing clothes, or mowing the lawn, while you are at work, school, home, and in the house of God.

I do not like to speak in front of people because my words do not always come out right and sometimes they do not even make since to others. I’m so thankful for the gift of singing that my Lord gave me for this is how I can be a blessing to others and encourage people; if it were not for this beautiful gift I probably couldn’t even carry a tune.

Our joyous actions is in our relationship with Him and Have a Little Talk with Jesus as often as we can that will make everything and anything look a lot brighter and know that the little talks will make it right. When I Cry unto the Lord he is Always there no matter what happens our father will not delay or leave us; He will always be there with His arms open wide and ready to carry us if necessary for he is that Champion of Love.  Step into the Water and wade out into the deep waters of His blood to get to the fullness of His anointing and peace. Swim in it as you grow and know of His yoke to stay on the straight and narrow walk of God.

I Know A  Man Who Can do anything and his name is Jesus for we do not have control over things of this world but even though we are Praying Hard there are times we may get into troublesome times but it’s on our knees that we can find redemption. You see, he never promised we would always have a bed of roses or the cross wouldn’t get heavy or the hill wouldn’t be hard to climb but he will take us Through The Fire again and again. He Knows My Name because it does not matter how much we go through for he can see a room full of people and meet every need they have but he can also make each one in that room feel as though he only sees me.

John Saw a city and it wasn’t just a city but it was a (Rev 21) Holy city coming down from heaven with all the promises of God. John was put on the Isle of Patmos by God to receive the vision of the new heaven where John saw the gates of pearl, the tree of life, and a river flowing from the throne of God for our healing and this is all made possible because Jesus gave up His life and chose to walk that Impossible Mile and wear the crown of thorns which could stand for the many battles we have to face with our minds.

Many of us are as the Dry Bones that Ezekiel prophesied to; Jesus can fill us back up to the brim even though we are in this deep valley. We are a great army of the Lord and he will breathe life back into us and we must take it One Day At A Time and it is Because He Lives that we are able to face tomorrow. For He’s Gonna Lead Me Out Of the Dessert just as he did the children of Israel; it was a cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night.

Soon I will see The Sun Coming Up In The Morning for I have fought all night and now I will be Walking Out With Gold for it was Then and There that He Set Me Free and there is now Two More Hands lifting praise unto the Lord of all. Just like Lazarus was raised from the dead so is my soul brought from the pits of hell and My Foot Is On the Rock and I Am Determined to hold out to the end. For soon and very soon we are gonna hear that Midnight Cry and see that the King is Coming and we will finally be Going Home and I’m Gonna Let The Glory Roll for ever more.

What A Wonderful God To Know because he will stand with you when no one else will, little David was young enough to believe God would do what He said He would and when he heard the giant speak David became angry in the spirit and as he stepped out on that field he spoke with authority in the Holy Ghost. He is the Lillie of My Valley and he changes us from the inside out for the rest of our life because He blooms all the time. He is that Amazing Grace that saved a wretch like me and the Anchor Holds because I’m Looking for a City my father went to prepare for us all (Rev 21:6). This world has been such a wilderness full of destruction, Lord I’ve Never Been This Homesick Before and Lord I can see you standing at the door and I know that this could be the hour, oh, this could be that wonderful day for I Believe He’s Coming Back Like He Said in his word.

Every morning is a new day and a chance to serve Him with gladness. This is a continuance work, for the rest of our life. It is not a sentence but a promise that through God we will have peace and joy. We cannot do this for a couple hours on Sunday and then ignore Him the rest of the week. Speak a repentance prayer the last thing every night and the first thing every morning and remember several times in between. Find the time to talk to the Lord daily, it can be in a prayer, reading the word, singing a praise song, and even just by lifting up our hands and heart towards heaven and Thank Him for what He has done; remember for out of the heart the mind speaks.

Jesus is waiting for you to return to Him as the father of the prodigal did; when that father saw his son coming from afar off he ran to him and Jesus will do the same for us when you make up your mind to come to Jesus will not make you walk all the way alone. When God Ran to meet us He will Do It Again if we do not wait too late. I want to Thank You Lord for it is only through you that I can have Joy Unspeakable and full of glory. These few words are only a portion of what God can and wants to do for each and every one of us but it is up to us where we go from this moment on; remember He Is There waiting on you.
