Peter was recognized as belonging to Jesus by the sound of his voice. In Matthew 26 the servant girl said, "Surely you belong to Jesus, I can tell by your accent."
How powerful is that? Peter had spent so much time with the Lord that the sound of his voice reflected it!
Lord this is my prayer today, that each one of us can reflect your sound. Let our voices resound your character, your influence, your love, your being! In that Lord people can't help but recognize you. There was no denying who Peter belonged to. Even before the servant girl heard Peters voice she knew that he belonged to the Lord. Peter had spent so much time with Christ that he not only sounded like Him but he also reflected His light.
Let's spend so much time with the Lord that everything about us shines that we are His! Our words, our faces, our hearts, our character, our accent- it displays our origin, where we are from, who we belong to: made in His image from the inside out, reflecting the Son, shining on the world!
Be blessed!
I'm learning throughout my life that all God wants from me is my time. If I stay connected to Him, He takes care of the rest! It's a relationship much like nurturing a friendship in the natural. As we seek the face of Jesus, He reveals Himself to us. I pray that this blog encourages you to deepen your walk with Jesus. I pray that it sparks in you a passionate pursuit for His presence in your every day life! Be blessed!

Knowing where to go
David had many trials and a flood of troubles in his life. He often had to leave all that he knew to seek a safe place. He knew that no matter the situation, as long as he looked to the Lord for the answers and direction of what to do, he would be fine. When you make decisions on your own, the outcome is always insecure. When God determines our outcome it is stable and unshakable. Many are the troubles of the rightous but the Lord delivers him everytime! Everytime, everytime, everytime!! Not sometimes but everytime! Be not afraid, seek His will in all you do and He will show you which path to take!
God is love!

Stormy weather
Friends, I know there are things that your going through that have you gripped with fear and hoplessness. I want to encourage you today that Jesus is walking on top of the storm and is standing right in front of you. He's waiting for you to take your eyes off of fear and to place them on His face. You may not recognize Him, but I can assure you that Hes there. Take your eyes off of your situation for a moment, and look to the Lord. Let Him lead you safely to shore.
Jesus will walk through raging seas to save you. You don't even have to call Him. His love for you is so great that it leads Him to you.
Look up, Hes reaching for your hand!
God is love!

No problem!
The eyes of the Lord are on those who fear Him, on those whose hope is in His unfailing love. He will deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine. Psalms 33:18-19
If you look to God and place your trust in Him, you no longer have to worry when troubles come your way. Yes, even money troubles! The Lord promises to keep you alive and give you everything you need in those times. His Word actually says that you will lack no good thing!! Be excited today, look to the hope of your ENTIRE future!! Deliverance is on it's way!
Bless them Lord!!

The Prize
I don't mean to say that I have already acheived these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first posessed me. No dear brothers and sisters, I have not acheived it, but I focus on this one thing: forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Jesus Christ is calling us. Let us all who are spiritually mature agree on these things. If you disagree on some point, I believe God will make it plain to
you. But we must hold onto the progress we have already made. Phillipians 12-16 NLT

Challenge #2
Challenge #2
Going deeper in intimacy with the Lord is a process. As you enter His presence today, ask Him to reveal to you something in yourself that needs to be surrendered to His control. The word says, "Worry about nothing but instead pray about everything thanking God for what He has done." As you give God access to all the places in your heart and life, your relationship with Him will go so deep that you will start to look like Him, walk like Him and you will recognize that your beginning to talk like Him! All the things that you used to do will fade away. His desires will become your desires.
With the measure you give, the measure you will receive. Give God a greater access to your life today..... It's life changing!
