MY SHEEP KNOW MY VOICE

Everything I've been searching for has been in me since conception. We have been wonderfully and fearfully created. We are the image of the Most High God. We are on a assigned journey in life designed in the mind of God. Laid out before us is a maze of adventure, the choices of right and wrong and within us God's Spirit dwells speaking to our hearts the path to follow. We have a fierce adversary who has hated us from the beginning of time. His design is to steal, kill and…

A LOVE THAT HAS NO BOUNDARIES

When I feel lonely and fearful, God I know you remain near.

When circumstances of life seem hopeless and dark you'll dry each and every tear.

You bring me to that quiet place where all my troubles seem to disappear.

The journey we're on is a dress rehearsal for you and me, for God's about to reveal his Glory for all the world to see.

The testing of our Faith…

A Heart Set, A Soul Set, A Mind Set....The Void Filler

The greatest of all commandments is Thou Shalt Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, with all thy mind and all thy strength.

To Love, love is not selfish, love is kind and considerate. Love is pure in heart, love is giving without the requirement of something in return. Love is uncondiditonal, without limitations. Love is forgiveness and renewal.

Jesus manifested these qualities to the extreme. He ALWAYS put the Father first! His welfare from the… Continue

By Power And Grace

Lord, I don't know how you parted the Red Sea, but I believe you did it!

I don't know how you walked on water, but I believe you did it!

I don't know how you stopped the lady's issue of blood when she touched the hem of your garment, but I believe you did it!

I don't know how you gave the blind sight, healed the legs of the lame, and restored the mind of the possessed man, but I believe you did it!

I don't know how Sampson had the strength to tear a Lion apart, but I believe… Continue

The Ride Of Your LIfe

Around and around we go on this merry go round called life. How many times have you said 'STOP' I want to get off....get drunk out of your mind, snort another line, main line some heroin, go the distance on another one night stand or blow your car out in a car.

Man for the minutes you were able to launch your mind in to nothingness the merry go round was one cool ride, but now about when the ride began to slow down and the attendant said 'time to get off'.....life was still there,… Continue

Handicaps Or Challenges?

Life's journey offers friendship, love, grief, patience, anger, wisdom, hatred, jealousy, greed, lust, success, failure, pride, lack of self esteem, deceit, and the list goes on and on.

Some people are born blind and display no anger or hatred. Instead they have high self esteem, the ability to play instruments, be great singers, politicians or whatever they set their hearts to do. How are they able to do this? Were there parents truly gifted at instilling self-esteem or has God equipped… Continue

Begin To Walk The Talk

Tommorow morning when you awake, give God the glory for letting you see a new day. Praise him that in these troubling times you still have a job. Don't begin rehearsing how bad you know the day is going to be, but ask the Holy Spirit to lift you up and give you the strength to make it through the day. Stop talking about other people, because it really doesn't change your situation and God doesn't approve of gossip. Slow down and take a quiet moment to thank God for your job, your health, which… Continue

How Would You Change The Script?

Remember when you were a child and everything in the world was so fresh and new? Everyday was a day of new friends and fun things to do. When things didn't happen just the way you envisioned for that day you could usually stomp your feet or cry and scream to let your parents know how this day is supposed to go and they better make it happen. From this tender age you were very aware of the buttons that needed to be pushed to get your way. I believe this is where Satan gets his first glimpse of… Continue

Being All About Self Never Creates Spiritual Wealth

I have not lived my life honoring you as God. Have you ever stopped being God? Has my worrying ever made you less toleratnt or more tolerant towards me? Has my self indulgence in anyway changed your plan for my destiny? What prayers have ever touched your heart? Have my fears prevented my prayers from being heard? To live by fear is to not live by Faith. Without Faith I can't please you. Have I ever pleased you? I know I've certainly grieved you. Splinters On The Carpenter's Floor @… Continue

Praise you Lord God, yes it's me. Do you remember my voice? Have you been able to see? I never have asked for a single thing to straighten out this screwed up life, to take me back under your wing. It's been years dear God and where have I been....living it up, wallowing in sin. I laid down at night and never gave you a second thought, forgetting Calvary and the suffering that it brought. www.CreationsCarpenter.com

Splinters On The Carpenter's Floor

Super Hero. The power to surrender your life without restraint, having all the powers of the universe to beckon at a thought, but not calling upon them. Allowing yourself to be nailed to a cross and never saying 'NAILS BE REMOVED FROM MY HANDS, BLOOD STOP YOUR FLOW, WOUNDS HEAL YOURSELF AND GLORIOUS BODY BE REMOVED NOW FROM THIS SITUATION!' Super Hero indeed! Possessing more power than man has ever created, at his very whisper, Jesus power is truly what the power and God is....LOVE!… Continue
