Jesus Christ is the “Spirit of Truth” He is not going to devalue us in anyway, He will always speak the truth in love to build us up, to teach us, to grow us through. Jesus Still Speaks And Still Speaks The Purest Truth Ever Known To Mankind. So someone just spoke something negative to you and It got in your head, and you are mulling it around in your thoughts, and you are entertaining it, and the negativity gets stronger and stronger, and you feel very devalued. Who Said That? Was it God Or The Enemy Of Your Soul? Someone has spoken words of condemnation to you and it rips at your soul because you know it is false, it is a false accusation, yet they stand by it, and double down with a total ghosting of you from their lives. because you won’t admit their fake fantasy thinking is true. These are times we remember that people are not the enemy, we have a spiritual enemy. So ask yourself, did God, or would God speak condemnation to you? No He Would Never! So, ask yourself again: Who Said That? That negative word spoken, is a negative thought given, but do you have to receive it? Start by asking: Who said that? Did God? Or did the enemy of my soul? Is it an absolute truth, that you know that you know? Or is it something that you "think" that you know? This is an assumption. God does not speak in assumptions, nor does God speak out of speculation, presupposition or rationalization. God speaks wholly-holy truth. How can you answer someone who falsely accuses you? Speak the truth in love, speak things as they are, in the moment where God is, and then you let the Holy Spirit prove it. You do not have to continue to defend yourself, striving on your own, as more strife creates more strife and confusion sets in. God will defend you. God is Your Way-Maker to Truth. God deals with us in the now, the current, the present, so don’t let the enemy make you think on things that are not even here and now truth, because this causes much confusion in your soul and God is not the author of confusion. The cross of Jesus Christ is always a symbol of Him dying for our sins, the symbol of the emptiness of people, who serve no power higher than self, and walking in untruth as they wield corrupted, self-driven, illegitimate authority. Then in the face of all that illegitimate power, there is the empty cross, and the resurrection of Jesus, and this reality of truth, of an empty tomb, is one of a Higher Power, and is the symbol of life, truth and hope. So, in the light of the truth of the cross of Jesus Christ, ask this: “who said that”? Is it condemning? It isn’t God who said it. People think that they know “something” so they blurt it out as if they do. Yet, the reality of truth is, people can’t know your motive, or your thoughts, they judge you by something they can’t know, and this is their own assumption, speculation and presupposition in play, and these false accusations, they come from the enemy of our soul, the liar, the father of lies. God is not saying these things. Are you falsely accused by those who think they know something they do not know? Ask God for the reality of truth, and think on His truth.

Who do you serve? Why are you doing what you are doing? Do you consider yourself a “workaholic”? I am just full of questions today! 😜 It is really good to have a little bit of introspective thinking 🤔 about our lives. I am thinking that we human beings in our human condition, can very easily drift into being “human doers”! Why would God create such a beautiful world if He did not want us to stop and enjoy it? Doing, doing, doing… this is what we do! We keep ourselves so busy that we exhaust our soul. It is so easy to step out of serving God to serving no power higher than self! Apart from God, we can do nothing truly good and lasting and we will run ourselves amuck. That is the human condition of us “human doers”! We are busy, busy, busy… Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take. Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil. Then you will have healing for your body and strength for your bones. Proverbs 3:5-8 Do you feel soul exhausted today? Do you have too much on your life plate? Who is putting things on your life plate, your “to do list”? Is it you or God. Are you getting tired of all my questions!! Hmmmmm… just checking in with your heart. I know what it is like to get so exhausted that you crash and burn! I would like to spare you from that. So, my questions have a good motive! Would you consider yourself as a “human doer” just stepping out and doing it, anything and everything that presents itself as a need that you feel you need to meet. Are you a “Fixer”? Pretty sure we are not “The Fixer” Because God is the Fixer and we are not! The best choice of life is to bring God into your choices. To acknowledge God in all of your ways, letting God navigate you, letting God tell you what to “do”! Let Be… Let go, let God! In order to do that, we need to let go of the grip of on our plans, and yield our “doings” to God. We are not “human doers” we belong to God, and He does as we follow after Him. We are “human beings” being found in God. Listening up to God, asking God: What do you want me to do? Always, God wants you to “Yield” to Him, to lean into His Sovereign Sway, and go with flow of followship of Him. God is always instructing us, there is never a moment where we are not led by God and that is why it is easy to Yield our way to God to be a human being, found being in God, not a human doer, doing our own thing.

The comfort of God is so very prevalent at all times. God’s comfort is a beautiful, strong, amazing thing. I hope you all receive it and are strengthened by it. We all have some winter in our soul, we can’t avoid those times of sorrow and lament, because of our human condition. We human beings very rarely get things completely right, especially when we “think we know” something that we don’t know and we assume, speculate and talk up things that are not truth. We are easily deceived and that is why human beings so frequently hurt other human beings. Sad to say, we all have probably experienced the hurt and pain of false accusations, condemnation, betrayal, conditional love and rejection. These wintery days of our soul, we go to God for comfort and we find that spring does come to our soul as we receive the comfort of God. Jesus is able to comfort us because He too received comfort from the Father God, as He was falsely accused, condemned and died a criminals’ death. Yet this conviction did not stand as Jesus rose from the dead and defeated the enemy of our soul. Yes, winter bloomed into a miraculous spring, and because of Jesus, it can for us too. Winter can’t stick around as God heals our soul, and spring is daily ushered in by Jesus Christ, majestically so. If you need the comfort of God today, spend some time in His Word, knowing Him, knowing He is F.I.T. Faithful-Infiinte-Trustworthy to heal your soul of winter woes and bring you into the wow of Spring. God bless you.

These are really hard times to be a giver. Kind of stretches your faith, doesn’t it?? It was easy to give when the economy was great and there was abundance, but now, there isn’t much left between the rising inflation and the rising prices everywhere that have gone up and up and up… and I mean everywhere, in every area of our life. Are you a giver? Do you enjoy giving to others who have needs? I know being a giver is not so easy-peasy at times! There can’t be any part of your self on the throne of your life. It has to be a all in with God. What I mean by that is your YES must be on the table with God. He asks and YES, you do it, you give. Is getting to this place possible for a person with a human condition. Our human condition says: Look out for ourselves first, take care of ourselves first. Hmmmmm…..What say you? Being a giver you have to be able to look at giving from the lens of truth, actually this truth: Everything you own belongs to God, and if He asks you to give something it is not something that He has not first given you. Have you gotten there yet? Knowing in your heart that what you have is God-given and owned by Him. That takes a while to get there, but you will, you will. I truly have loved learning to activate the gift of giving, the generosity of spirit God puts in each one of us. We were made in His image, therefore we are generous people, because He is a generous God. That is why when God speaks into my heart to give, I give, immediately, no questions ask. I trust He knows the needs better than I could ever know and He will return it more than 100 fold back to me. I have seen Him do that so many times now. Jesus is such a generous giver and we can be too. Dig Deeper: Do You Have A Servant’s Heart Like Jesus Did? https://rumble.com/vlz4v5-a-servants-heart.html https://thebridegroomscafe.com/generous/

Need to know your next step because you see the way ahead is not clear? Sometimes God is doing something new and it takes an activating of our faith, a yielding of our decision to Him before we get the courage to step out in an unfamiliar territory, one that makes us feel uneasy-queasy. There have been many times in life where we don’t know our next step, but we know we need to move forward. Sometimes we feel stumped and know we can’t find our way on our own. It is so simple the answer to this conundrum. We ask God. We take the next step by faith, not by what we see, but what we know, that God is in charge of our life, that God is trustworthy and will not lead us into anything He has not equipped us for. Yielding to God is one of the best decisions we can do. Because God knows everything, He knows all. God is able to give us courage to step out into the unknown, never underestimate His ability to navigate us through tough times. Don’t give up if the way seems blocked. Walk by faith and not by sight, acting out of our faith and belief that God can do the miraculous. Walking by faith, talking to God as we step out, we let the peace of Jesus Christ rule our hearts as we step out into new things into Great God Adventure. Walk By Faith. Trust God. Yield Your Decision To God! God will make a way for You where there seems to be no way. God bless ya. Dig Deeper: https://rumble.com/vgxedv-shaky-faith.html Got fear going on today?

🙏Could you not tarry one hour with me? 🙏Could you not keep watch with Me? WAKE UP! 🙏The Time Is Coming, Deception Is Upon Us, Lawlessness Is Upon Us! Get up and let’s go, for the betrayer has arrived. The sun is going down on our liberty, justice and freedom for all. Our constitution is in shambles, and justice as we knew it is dead. Pray. Watch With Jesus. 🙏 We see it all around us, the decay of the human condition, yet we ignore it. Morality in the toilet, and we don’t talk about it, we don’t talk to God about it, we don’t pray, we just get busier and we ignore the state of our nations and its peoples in shambles. We ghost the reality of truth. Without God we are not good people. People need the Lord. Come back to Jesus. One Nation Under God Indivisible With Liberty And Justice For All. Let it be so. Could you not watch with Me? Jesus! 🙏 How do we handle the state of our unions? We pretend it is not happening! We see the reality of truth, but our grief over the liberties lost, and the pain of the consequences of lawlessness, and the desecration of our freedom of our Constitution, we don’t want to faee it. We are compassion fatigued, we are asleep, we don’t want to believe what has happened to our nations in decline, so we grieve silently and sleep through it, and when we wake up, it will be too late… WAKE UP! Pray! Face The Reality Of Truth of what is happening now in our nations. Turn back to God! Without God, we are not good. Could you not tarry one hour, could you not keep watch with Jesus? The time is short, our betrayer is near. 🙏 What day of the week is it for you? For me it is Friday and all is not good, the state of our nations are not good. Good Friday for Jesus was not good except for the promise of Sunday was coming. Good Friday leaned into giving death a voice no more, resurrection was coming. Silently, before his false accusers and with his false accusations and fake judgment, he went into the night… and morning came, justice proclaimed to all generations! Where is Jesus? He’s Not Here… He has RISEN from the dead. Death has no more voice. 🙏🙏🙏 Holy Week: Maundy Thursday Jesus shares His plan, Good Friday we grieve, we sleep, we are focused on loss and not what we will gain. Sunday, Easter, we see the reality of Truth, Jesus has Risen, just as He said, we have a future and a hope.

If you have suffered with soul agony, you know what it feels like to feel overwhelmed by a broken heart. Jesus, His heart was broken in two in the Garden Of Gethsemane, as God laid on Him the sin of the whole world. He was in such agony that He sweat drops of blood. He spoke it out saying that His soul was in such pain that it felt like death. What happened to Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane as He sweat drops of blood, was a medical condition called, Hematidrosis, and is is very rare, it happens sometimes when you are in extreme anguish. It was an emotional and spiritual agony that none of us could begin to imagine. I have had a broken heart many times in this life and it feels overwhelming, in that kind of way where you feel like you can’t handle the soul agony. Those are the times we talk to God, we share our pain with Him, because He understands soul agony. His was a beautiful agony as He faced the cross and agonized over it. It was a beautiful agony because He knew that this pain would lead to the saving of all of us. This is why we should give our soul agony to Jesus because He can turn it into a beautiful agony, where He makes a way where there seems to be no way. Jesus is a transformer, in fact, out of His beautiful agony came a transformation that was the greatest transformation ever to be known to mankind. Death to life! Death no longer had a voice in our life. That is why I take my soul agony to Jesus, He is so personal, so comforting, so powerful in healing, a transformer like no other. He is a Fixer, I am not. He is a Deliverer, I am not. He is a Savior I am not. The beautiful agony of Jesus Christ is something that has changed things up for all of us. Now when I get a broken heart, I take it to Jesus and it becomes beautiful agony because He takes it, He changes things up and old becomes new. Beautiful Agony shared with Jesus, it leads to new life and there is no better hope than that, God taking something dead and resurrecting it in a new way. Dig Deeper: https://rumble.com/vbmfr5-soul-wounds.html https://thebridegroomscafe.com/gethsemane/ https://thebridegroomscafe.com/scars/ In heavenly hindsight, we can see that a lot of things in our lives leave soul wounds, but we can see the path of God’s healing throughout our lives as we put our expectations in God and not in people.

Transitions are difficult times in life. When we are waiting for something new to happen, and we are in-between the old and the new, the enemy loves to throw in all kinds of chaos. We see it even in the life of Jesus Christ right before He went to the cross in the Garden of Gethsemane, it was a very difficult time for Him, and the men He spent so much time with throughout His earthly ministry, discipling them, loving them, teaching them, they were not there for Him in His greatest time of need. Isn’t it like that for us too? Chaos happens and everyone scatters, no help to be found. Oh for the love of the human condition, it never meets our needs. Human beings can’t meet our needs, only God can. We need to put our expectations in God, not people. God is Who Jesus taught us to turn to in the worst of soul chaos and soul agony, we turn to God. Our Father God, He never leaves us nor forsakes us, and His Holy Spirit is always Present with us and for us. We are never alone during a time of transition. God is always working in the unseen for our good and His glory. These are the two purposes of God that are part of God’s Providential Care of us… working for our good, working for His glory, and He does both well. The enemy also schemes and craftily devises stumbling blocks to keep us from the new thing God has for us. During these transitional times we need to cling to God, and dig our life roots deeper in Him and His Kingdom. The enemy of our soul will try to make it “seem” like we have hit a dead end in our times of transitions. We can get hit hard with so many road blocks during these transitional times of our life, and everything seems to fall apart, and there is much chaos. But we know, wherever chaos is, the enemy is working, yet God has not left us to the devices of our enemy. Never does, never will God forsake us in our life battles to make our way to His way, truth and life. God is never not up for the challenge of the enemy. So don’t quit on God, He will make a way, the transition from the old to the new thing in your life, it is at His direction, He started it, He will finish it. During the transitional times of our lives, we need to guard our heart diligently with the Word of God and activate our faith daily through the promises of God. We always need to remember, reminding ourselves that God has our life underneath His authority and control. Chaos makes it seem like the enemy is in control, but GOD never abdicates His authority over us, He is always in control. When it seems like the enemy puts up a “Dead End” sign, it is never so, because with God there are no dead ends. Therefore, we keep walking, and keep moving forward in followship of God. God is continually making a way in our lives, and His purposes are always in play for our good. Chaos can really stick up its ugly head in the midst of transitional times. These are the times we need to wholly-holy trust in God’s timing. God is doing something new in our lives and we will know it. The enemy will work hard to keep us from the new thing God has for us, but always remember, God wins, God finishes what He starts and He finishes well. God finishes in first place. God’s got this transitional time you find yourself in. Trust God. Completely!

The wisdom in the Word of God is our best way to be navigated in times such as these where deception is so prevalent. We all have our preferred way, and it gets frustrating when our plans get messed up and we have to wait. We are used to getting things so quickly, as our worldly culture is disposable, and we don’t have to wait long for things. God is teaching us patient endurance in times such as these where things don’t work quite as well. Airlines aren’t the same, you can wait all day for a flight to be cancelled. Grocery stores are not the same, a lot of your favorite things are out of stock and the less product for a more price has taken over the supermarket method. Medical is not the same, you have to wait weeks at a time just to get an appointment. Nothing works and frustration is a common occurrence in this cultural chaos of our time. Speaking of methods, God’s methods can be so frustrating, He is not doing things the usual way we think they should be done, His methods do not match our perfectly planned lives and tend to wreck havoc with our preplanned time schedule. Is God testing us? Is God teaching us, equipping us for times to come? We have been way to independent, doing things our own way at our own whim. We have not sought first the Kingdom of God. The Word says: Seek first the Kingdom of God and all things will be added to us. We need to learn all over again to seek God first in all of our ways, above our plans, the way we think things should go, above our preferred methods that are quick and easy! Seek first God’s Kingdom where everything is absolutely perfect, yet it takes time to work out that way. The perfection of God’s timing and His very unusual methods, is always purposeful, and works out better for us than we could ever hope for or imagine. Why do we push back against God’s methods, when He knows us best and loves us most? God is probably the only ONE Who is wholly-holy for us, yet we spend more time complaining about His methods than praising His ingenuity and absolutely creative outcomes. Why do we continue to want our way, when we want it? Why can’t we wait? Why can’t we seek God first in all of our ways? Why are we frustrated with unusual methods that are a slow go when we know God’s track record and it is good? Our human condition rejects unusual methods that we can’t begin to wrap our minds around and cause us to lean out of what we know into something new. Maybe that is the point that God is making with His unusual methods, that we lean into way too much into our human condition instead of Seeking God First. Our disposable, quick and easy cultural way influences us, creating an impatience when we have to wait as God plays out His methods of creating incredible outcomes. God has an endgame, we need to yield to Him, our plan, our time, our schedule, and our calendar. Putting God first, everything falls into place, in His perfect timing, through His unusual methods. We have to work at somethings, put some effort into them as they are not handed to us in that quick, kind of disposable way that leads to really temporary solutions that are not all that good. Try it today. Seek God first, yield to His timing, embrace His unusual methods, have a great God Adventure, and know His perfection, know the incredible, miraculous purpose in His timing that comes forth out of God’s unusual methods that seemed a bit crazy at the time, but had a great endgame. God has never failed, God wins. Why do we doubt His ways? God is a winner! This is why we should always seek first His Kingdom, because He never fails, seek Him first, because His methods are miraculous in outcome, with more added to our lives than we could have ever hoped for or imagined. Seek God First! Dig Deeper: https://rumble.com/v2r8e3i-god-wins.html https://thebridegroomscafe.com/firstee/

Sometimes life hurts, our soul weeps pain, because we love so imperfectly… I was thinking about that as I watched the power of the ocean wave hit the rock and then spray up from the broken places in that rock… OH… So beautiful… my first thought was AWE how majestic is my Creator God and then I thought of me… broken, imperfect, but beautifully used by God to “spray up” out of my broken places, the living water of God that impacts my soul with the love of God. I am perfectly imperfect, as I am loved perfectly by God. There is only ONE Perfect Name that makes my heart bow and that is the name of Jesus. We take for granted how wonderful and awe-inspiring and perfect Jesus is. He created such beautiful majestic things that take our breath away. We so need to get back to the Awe of God. Worship the Perfect Creator and not the imperfect created ones and come back to a heart to heart relationship with our God, standing in Awe of Who He is. I can only hope that humanity, which I am a part of, that all of us will come back to loving God first, serving God first! Truly, as serving no power higher than ourselves has done nothing good for us as imperfect can’t make perfect. Jesus, how amazing You are in that incredible perfect way, in that way of not truly being able to wrap our minds around the beauty of Your majesty, the power of Your Sovereignty, the immense splendor of the things You created and how perfectly You Love us. “Lord, you’re so kind and tenderhearted and so patient with people who fail you! Your love is like a flooding river overflowing its banks with kindness. You don’t look at us only to find our faults, just so that you can hold a grudge against us. You may discipline us for our many sins, but never as much as we really deserve. Nor do you get even with us for what we’ve done. Higher than the highest heavens— that’s how high your tender mercy extends! Greater than the grandeur of heaven above is the greatness of your loyal love, towering over all who fear you and bow down before you!” Psalms 103:8-11 The Passion Translation I sat and watched for such a long time, the sheer power of the ocean waves that You put in place, that You established a boundary for and I wonder how you could ever be mindful of us, but You were, before You even created anything, You thought of us, You dreamed of us. There has never been a more faithful, trustworthy, perfectly and patiently enduring love, as Your Love has been for us imperfect human beings. I am so humbled by your love for me. Truly, It is not always about being perfect, because only God is perfect… maybe it is about being perfectly imperfect…and yielding to the Perfect One, Jesus Christ, who loves us so well. What say you? Me, the imperfect one, so not perfect in all of my ways… meeting up with the Perfect One, living in the beauty of His perfect and beautiful creation that stirs my soul. Having a constant conversation with Him as His heart is always open to me… He is always present with me… kind of overwhelming at times.. to think He loves me… me… so imperfect in all of my ways… He wants to be in relationship with me, someone who can never be perfect like He is… there is no other love like this that makes me so desire to be perfectly imperfect and in love with God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit Who love me so perfectly.

We will never be left! We will never be forsaken! Even if it looks like and feels like our life is in ruins and as hard as we try to fix it, it is still broken, it is still ruined! Striving in our flesh is so exhausting! We try and try to find a way out of our ruins and just seem to dead end ourselves. I wonder if it is best to just trust God right where we are at? Truly, because wherever we are, He is, and He is actively working for our good in the unseen. If we could only learn that kind of trust where we actively wait in faith and belief of God’s trustworthiness, for God’s timing to play out. Did you know that God’s purposes are always in play in our life situations? There is never a time where God’s purposes are not in play in our lives for our good. God always finishes what He starts and He finishes well. Did you know that God has never failed? God fails Not! He always has a good endgame in mind for us. He is the solution and we can trust Him for a good outcome with perfect timing. God’s purpose surrounds us, kind of like a cleft in the rock kind of scenario. Rocked in by Jesus, surrounded, as we simply-significantly wait on His Way-Making power play on our behalf. How much easier would life be if we stop striving and wait on God to make a way out for us. Rest in your soul! Do you have that when you wait at the roadblocks of life where there seems to be impassable boulders in your way? Nothing is impossible with God! Nothing is irreversible with God! When we believe in God, we should be believing Him. We should believe everything He has promised. As we wait in the Cleft of the Rock our Savior provides for safety, provision and protection as we patiently endure and wait on Him, we should be clinging to the promises of God until He gives us that next step out in His perfect timing! Our God Is Never Not Perfect. Dig Deeper: https://thebridegroomscafe.com/yet-in-darkness/

Yes, 🙌 the joy of God just floods in our soul when God does something that we could have never even begun to hope for or imagine. Have you ever had that long season of suffering where life seems like a continual lament? I read this article online and it had some amazing truth about “lament”! Those long dark times of the soul, where hopelessness temps us, and where it seems God is not working at all. But we know that is a lie, that God is always working in the unseen for our good, His godly purposes are always in play in our lives. He is never NOT working on our behalf. But, sometimes as we get tempted by the enemy of our soul, to doubt God, as our enduring patience runs thin, we lament, we pour out our heart in prayer to God. “We don’t stop crying after birth. It continues because the world is broken. While tears and sorrow are part of our humanity, there is an often-neglected prayer language in the Bible for our travels through a broken world: lament. Lament is not the same as crying, however. It’s different. And it’s uniquely Christian. Lament is the prayer language for God’s people as they live in a world marred by sin. It is how we talk to God about our sorrows as we renew our hope in his sovereign care. To cry is human, but to lament is Christian.”Excerpt From Article https://www.desiringgod.org/articles/dare-to-hope-in-god The breakthrough JOY when God has done something incredible is the kind of Joy that we can’t even begin to describe. It comes after we have hoped in the dark for a long time, hoping for God’s miraculous intervention. We hope for God’s healing touch and when that healing timely comes, the light of the Lord God Almighty, floods our darkness with His healing touch, His deliverance and He does something so glorious that we can’t even wrap our minds around it. How could it be that God loves us so much that He has miraculously intervened on our behalf in such a timely way, in fact the timing is perfect! This Is Our God! Joy explodes and our dark day ends and our lament dead ends! In one moment everything changes and light comes into our dark, hopeless situation, and there is joy unspeakable. God has moved miraculously, and our soul can’t contain the joy! Theses are the moments in life where we enjoy the joy and let it envelope our soul. Dig Deeper: https://thebridegroomscafe.com/joy-2/

I yield my life to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit of God is my navigator. God knows my heart, He hears my thoughts, and He knows every motive behind my actions. God knows me best and loves me most. I submit my life wholly-holy to Jesus Christ, He is my identity, He is the only One, Who shapes my life, directs my life, and instructs me in the day to day living out of my life issues. I can absolutely positively state I give no permission to anyone else to shape or control my destiny. You will not restrict me or control me, I belong to God, therefore I give no human being power over me. I position myself underneath the authority and leadership of God’s love, and He sets godly authority over my life. The banner over me, over my life is God, His kingdom and His love. No, human being has permission to control my speech, my action, or any of my thoughts. I will obey God from every moment to every choice, I will put God first and serve His kingdom. My destiny is found in the life of Jesus Christ, I have a future, and a hope that is not in this world. No one can take freedom from me, this liberty Jesus Christ gave His life for me to have, it is my inalienable right to live freely. Because of my love for God, because my life has been freely given to Him, I will become a person of integrity, and if you look at my life in heavenly hindsight, my life will reflect, a moment to choice decision to follow, Jesus, to mirror His way, truth and life is my hearts desire. I am flesh, I have a human condition that needs to have self-control. There will be times where I will not make the godly choice, I am not perfect, but I am perfectly loved by God, who will convict me, of wrong doing, will teach me, correct the crooked places in my heart, and I will grow through my life being transformed by His Holy Spirit, positioned under the Rulership of His love.

Living life on the surface, just “doing” religiosity and not “being” found in God is a life that is not vibrant, a life that does not make an eternal difference and has no shine to it. It is a good choice to do what it takes to be deeply rooted in Christ. I know that sounds very “religious” that term “deeply rooted in Christ”, so let me put it in a way we all can understand: Know God! God has always been personal with us, living with us, finding a way no matter what the obstacle to be Present with us. He has always desired a personal relationship with us. We were created to be in relationship with God. So, the choice is like this… I saw a huge tree when I was taking a walk in Michigan one day, it was magnificent. It was a hot day and I took shelter underneath the shade of this tree. How did it grow so huge with magnificent branches, so beautiful, so healthy? It is deeply rooted and the limbs are firmly attached to the huge trunk that supports them, keeps them healthy. So, if we want to be a healthy person, a person who provides shade to others, who bears fruit that feeds the soul of others good things, then we need to be deeply rooted in God. Talk to God, develop that strong personal relationship with God, us and Him. Get into His Word, and begin knowing Him for Who He has always been. Cling to God, dig your life roots deeply in Him, let God be the strength of your inner spiritual core. The Word of God is powerful, it can transform us, shape us, feed us and cause us to be very fruitful. Attached to the Vine of Jesus Christ, we are strong, viable, vibrant people, with an attractive anointing that draws people to us. When you have peace in a world that is so chaotic, when you have wisdom in a world of deception, when truth reigns in your life, people will want what you have, they will want to sit underneath the shade of your tree and take a break from the heat of this world. Yes, being deeply rooted in God, not only helps you, but blesses other’s too. So being deeply rooted means that you are making it personal with God all day long. You have invited Jesus Christ into your heart and life and you are doing life with Him, moment to choice, in personal relationship with Him, navigated by His Holy Spirit, founded upon the foundation of an unchanging Father God, secure in the living Word, and becoming like God, being a person people can admire, so you can point them to God and say to them: Do you want to be like me? Do you want to have the peace I have? Do you want to be navigated to truth in a world full of deception? Do you want to have inner peace? Let me introduce you to Jesus Christ, the One I live heart to heart with every day, He is the reason for what you see in me that you want.

Stop for a moment and think about this: I was listening to God early the morning and I realized this is something we need to be aware of, learn about, change it up, because it is a trap of the enemy that he uses over and over again to ensure us, condemn us and play out his hand against us. Our soul enemy has a good poker face, he is bluffing because our enemy does not have the upper hand, He does not hold winning cards, God does. If we are assuming something, it is the enemies way of trying to set us up for upset, as God deals in wholly-holy truth and the enemy deals out lies. The same goes if someone is assuming something about you, it is the enemy trying to get you to accept condemnation that is not truth, the enemy never deals out truth, only lies and assumption is his dealer. Don’t join the enemy of your soul around his table, with all his buddies, discouragement, disillusionment, disheartenment, pride, despair, self-righteousness, false accusation, condemnation, all which will not benefit you at all, but steal, kill and destroy your identity in Christ. Jesus has dealt out a “Royal Flush” the enemy of our soul holds court with a “Full House” of condemning lies. Play the hand God has given You. The stakes may be high, you may have a lot to lose, but trust God and lovingly play out the truth, and God will win the battle of that current hand. Pray It Up For Your Life: I do. I take the “Royal Flush” You, Jesus dealt out, and You will win the battle. I trust You. I do not accept the hand played by my enemy, I trump that hand with the trifecta of Father God The Proof, Jesus, The Proven, Holy Spirit The Prover, and the trifecta of trust, truth and unconditional love.

God’s Great Love is always on display. Everywhere you look, everything you are going through, you see the evidence of God’s Love. This more than enough love has been abundantly gifted to us in ways we could not even begin to imagine or hope for. I love so imperfectly, but God loves perfectly. God is perfect in all of His ways. I guess I don’t have to be perfect, I probably will never be. I have this human diction, we all do and we don’t always love well. But, the cool thing is that in Christ Jesus, we have the ability to love like He loves and finish well. We are wired by God, shaped, designed and created to need the Love of God and it is written on our heart by God, the art of loving others well. Our imperfect offerings of love is made perfect by God’s unfailing love in us. No human being will ever be enough for us. Human beings can’t meet each other’s needs fully, we were created to need God. When we are postured in our human condition and life is all about us, this does not turn out well for the other people in our lives. It is kind of cool though, that when we posture ourselves in humility, like Jesus did, there is power in the way we love others, it is transforming and wonderful and adds value to their lives. As we let God have the control of all of our lives, as we yield to Him and love Him with all our heart and all we do and say, we do as a love act of worship unto Him, we will love others well. It is awesome to want to from every moment into every voice be aware of being people who actions are full of love and founded upon the truth of God. This kind of living, loving and serving others is Awe-GOD wonderful. So let’s connect with God, heart to heart today and make it a day where we love other’s well. Have fun, enjoy your day of being kind, gracious, forbearing, and patient. God bless ya.

I know we know the right way to live, that we know we should acknowledge God in all of our ways and we should seek first the Kingdom of God. But we find ourselves, busy-busy-busy with the things of this world, the temporary things that won’t matter in the long run. God is the last priority of our time. We have “stuff” to do. We get up busy and we go to bed exhausted and with busy minds about all the stuff we didn’t get done that we need to add to our very busy schedule tomorrow. We are busy people, so busy that little by little we drift away from that personal relationship with God until God becomes that half-hearted, dutiful wave on Sunday morning. We don’t even begin to realize that without God, we would not have the life, the stuff, the ability to be busy. We shelf the very One Who has made it possible for us to be busy-busy-busy. Been there and done that. UNTIL… Until something happens that divinely interrupts our busy schedule and leaves us dead-ended, unable to move forward. It is then that we realize how far we have drifted from our dependency on God. It is so easy to start kindling our own fires and walk by the light of a man made fire that will flame out. God wants to be the One Who puts the things we give our lives too on our life plate. When God puts something on our life plate, He also equips us and strengthens us to do it. This makes life so less exhausting because we are not striving in our own flesh, but are walking in the strength, discernment and wisdom of God. We can finish well when we are connected heart to heart with God, navigated by His Holy Spirit.

Heart To Heart with God is a great way to start our day because then we will be better and best as we get heart to heart to heart with people. Some people have said it would be so easy to be a Christian if it weren’t for people. Isn’t that the truth! We need that precious time with God as we enjoy our personal relationship with Him, worshipping Him, getting into His Word. Then before our feet hit the ground and our daily activity begins, we are more apt to Yield to God. Yield=Yes, I, Embrace, Lordship, Daily. So, we yield God our day. What do you want me to do today? Right Now! What priority do You have for my day? Right Now! What we do and what we say should have its origin in our today, because this is where God is Present in. We stumble the most when we bring something from yesterday into our day, something that is not reconciled, something from our past. It is so easy to stumble into fleshly behavior when we are living in the past with emotions and memories that are not reconciled with God’s forgiveness, grace and mercy. Bitterness and a bitter root in our soul often will spring up because we are not living in the Present with God, but in the past with our hurts and failures. Right Now! A good way to side step that stumbling block of living out of the past, when God is in the Present with us, is to every night before you go to sleep give God all those things that have not yet been reconciled. Hand all the situations in your relationships that you can’t fix to God and let go, yielding to Him as the Fixer, Renovator, Renewer, Reconciler. Right Now! Let be, be still and let Him work. When we live like this, with God, in the Present, there is peace in our soul because we have put all of our expectations in His Hands… it is kind of like the way this scripture speaks: Right Now! Hebrews 12:1-3 As for us, we have all of these great witnesses who encircle us like clouds. So we must let go of every wound that has pierced us and the sin we so easily fall into. Then we will be able to run life’s marathon race with passion and determination, for the path has been already marked out before us. 2 We look away from the natural realm and we focus our attention and expectation onto Jesus who birthed faith within us and who leads us forward into faith’s perfection. His example is this: Because his heart was focused on the joy of knowing that you would be his, he endured the agony of the cross and conquered its humiliation, and now sits exalted at the right hand of the throne of God! 3 So consider carefully how Jesus faced such intense opposition from sinners who opposed their own souls, so that you won’t become worn down and cave in under life’s pressures. TPT God bless you HeartToHeart audience. Right Now! I pray we stay in the presence of God today, Present with Him and enjoy the new things He has for us, the great God Adventure! Have a great week. God is with us, right NOW! Dig Deeper: https://rumble.com/v1pnb8j-present-now.html https://thebridegroomscafe.com/contentment-tested/ https://thebridegroomscafe.com/present-tense/

I was walking the beach and just thinking about Jesus and this prayer rose up in my heart, so I shared it with you all my friends at Heart To Heart. My Prayer: Strengthen Us, Encourage Us, Bless Us Lord God. In Your Presence, Power And Glory We Are Blessed. We Yield Ourselves To You, Lord, There Is No Greater Power Or Authority. Jesus, You Love Us Best And Most, You Know Us Like No One Else Does. My Thoughts: Yield! Yes I Embrace Lordship Daily! We should be leaning into the voice of God first, checking in with Him, yielding our lives to Him, giving ear to His Voice. It is the best choice to NOT give others permission to speak into our heart. Only God has that permission to speak into our heart. Living life this way ensures we will thrive on the truth and flourish in our soul. There is so much deception all around us, we need to hear from God. I often say: Listen Up. This spiritual discipline in my life has caused me so much joy, wisdom, and life lived well. When I listen to those voices in my head that say: You are not good enough. You are not wanted. You are not loved. Then I open the door of my soul to the chaos of my enemy. I need to boot out all those thoughts the moment they hit my mind, say NO to them and no, enemy of my soul, you do not have permission to speak to me. Get out! I can’t tell you have this will help you so much, I pray you listen up to what God is saying in this moment and change it up. Truly, we should not yield our soul over to anyone else but Jesus, because Jesus has not abdicated His power to the enemy of our soul, He still reigns in the fullness of His authority over us. My Prayer: We yield our lives to You, Jesus. Yes, I, Embrace, Lordship, Daily. You are not just my Savior, Jesus Christ, You are my Lord. I lean my understanding into You and acknowledge You in all my ways. You, Lord God are my Navigator and I trust You more than I do any other voice. Father God, no other voices have permission to speak into my life first. It is Your voice I listen up to You, first, that I lean my heart and soul into Your way, truth and life. Jesus, My Savior, Lord, King, I yield my life to You, Guide me, direct me by Your Holy Spirit. I love You Lord God. I love You. AMEN Recently I heard a song called: As you find me. It truly touched my soul and I heard God say to me: You are wanted! https://music.apple.com/us/album/as-you-find-me-live/1510435179?i=1510435191 I stood tall and crumbled in the same breath. Yet, every time I look, You are still there with me and for me. You still wear the scars for all my mistakes. You are faithful and You are gracious and I am so grateful. I was Yours before I was not. There is grace to spare for all my mistakes, and I know I don’t deserve this kind of love, but this is Who You are, Jesus, You love me as You find me. I am still someone You want, Your love is too good to leave me. You still want me. I need Your love more than anything! Have a great day Heart To Heart!

What is barbwire, it is a steel fencing wire constructed with sharp edges or points arranged at intervals along the strands. Hmmmm sharp edges, penetrating points, arranged at intervals along the border of the seasons of your life by the enemy of our soul… Okay so I embellished it a bit, but isn’t that true! Sometimes the barbwire the enemy of our soul throws up all around us is pricking us every time we try to move forward. We can feel like we can’t move without deception cutting into our soul and leaving us wounded. Have you ever had those life seasons where you feel like the barbwire is all around you, you have people in your face constantly with their trickery-prickery lies, false accusations, assumptions, speculations, presuppositions all with the sharp quill of their voice penetrating you soul! It is during these really difficult time, I simply-significantly say the name of Jesus and I pray that every weapon formed against me will stand down and not prosper in my life and I ask for Jesus to navigate me safely out from this prickery-trickery all around me. The truth of God is a powerful weapon and it has never failed me. Every strong hold is broken when we call out to God and ask Him to break us free. There is no stronghold that the enemy puts in place that can hold us in slavery, we are free in Jesus Christ and His truth will set us free and keep us in a freedom like no other. Strong holds of deception, lack of confidence, fear, anxiety, hopelessness, God will deliver us from these in the power of His Might. Jesus is our Deliverer, our rescuer, our refuge, strong hold and a place of hope. There is not death that can hold, Jesus delivers us from every dead end and everything death of our dreams, He changes up to brand new blooms of life. In Christ, we have all we need. We are equipped with His Name, His Word and His Holy Spirit and He is a Way-Maker like no other. There is no barbwire that can keep us in bondage or hurt us in anyway that God can’t heal. All Glory and Honor To Jesus! We are free, indeed. Boomerang! God will bring back on the head of our enemy the same thing our enemy intentioned for us and He will encircle our enemy in His Barbwire that will keep all of His deception, illegal authority, lawlessness at bay, protecting us completely from any enemies attention to kill, steal or destroy us. The enemy who has cheated, lied, and had bad intentions toward us will not win the day. God Wins.

In-Between Us Yes, Our God stands in-between us and our enemy. God’s got us. God stands in front of our enemy protecting us, and providing for us strength, wisdom, hope, and peace as we grow through the storms of this chaotic culture we find ourselves having to navigate our lives through. Our God is stately, honorable, trustworthy, powerful, and faithful to us and our families. Even if the enemy comes in like a flood, our God raises up a standard of truth against our enemy, and holds back the tide of desire to kill, steal and destroy us. In-between us and our enemy stands a King, His name is Jesus. He is our rock of safety, a powerful defense, and our strong tower. Our society is broken by the pounding waves of deception, wickedness, evil and the enemy of our soul using people serving no power higher than self gain. The consequences of their sins bear heavily upon us, yet God’s Word still stands, God’s Will for us, still stands. Our God has not abdicated His authority to evil. The enemy wants to steal, destroy, and kill us, but God says NO! NO! STOP! You can only go this far and He stands in-between us. God’s ways are higher than our ways and we can’t even begin to wrap our minds around what He is doing in the unseen. We need to patiently endure knowing that God’s Providential Care is in play, His purposes for our good and for His glory are being worked out in the unseen. God is standing in-between us and our enemy, and as we sway in the breezes of our enemy, as he stirs up the whirlwinds trying to trick us to us to step into them, we can choose that or we can lean out of the mischief of our enemy and lean into God’s Sovereign sway, moving with the wind of The Holy Spirit. Those that choose to step into the whirlwinds of the enemy, their souls are beat to death by the enemies compassionless pounding. Stay behind the Lord God, in followship of Him, the way will be rough, but He will continue to stand in-between us and the enemies desire for us and He will make a way for us when there seems to be no way and work things out for us in ways we could not even begin to hope for or imagine, a way where everything works out in the end for our good and for His great glory. So if everything you know is shaking all around you as the enemy pounds sand, do not fear, God stands in-between the enemies plan to kill, steal and destroy and He says to the enemy: “STOP right there, you have no more permission to go another step, you have no more permission to speak into these lives. I AM, Their Way, Their Truth And Their Life!” Jesus! https://rumble.com/vfjj0t-we-are-loved-well.html https://thebridegroomscafe.com/more-and-most/ https://rumble.com/vh792n-flooded-in.html

Less For More! This is what is our cultural spotlight is on today? Yes, our economy and how the less for more has taken over everything. Our government gives us less and less and we pay more and more taxes. In the grocery store, the packages have been downsized and the price upsized. Our common sense kicks in when things go on sale and they say they are lowering the prices, but the reality of truth is there is less for more. They have made things smaller for us so they can gain more for them. Less for more is a current economical reality in the state of affairs of our nations where we live with a culture of deception. We pay more for the same product, but it is smaller. We have seen this with everything we are buying and they think we don’t notice that the donuts are smaller and the price is larger. Now we have half size soda cans, that cost more. The half gallon of ice cream went from that to a smaller package. Each time things get smaller, the price gets larger. Less for more is the name of the game in our economy. I am thankful that our God is not a less for more kind of God. He gives us everything we need, abundantly. His Grace, something we need on a daily basis is given abundantly and never changes in price as it is freely given. His mercy was paid in full by His Son Jesus Christ, it flows freely to all who need it. It was a less for more God transaction, less life for Jesus, more life for us. So our food does has that less for more kind of theme, but that doesn’t bother me as much as our grace, compassion, mercy and forgiveness for each other. In times such as these, there is definitely less grace for more strife as we all react to the cultural chaos all around us in times such as these. Less grace and more misunderstanding! Less compassion and more indifference! Less civility and more hatred! Jesus lived a less for more life-style as He paid for all of us with His life so that we would have more than enough grace for all. Less for Him for more for us. Why not be like Jesus, less about ourselves, more for others. We can be the increase so that there is more grace in our society. We can give more grace to others without expecting more in return. Be the bearers of the Grace of God, and His mercy, compassion, forgiveness and patience. We could choose to be like Jesus Christ to all those around us, and change things up to Less IS More. Learning and growing in the humility of being selfless, because less of us is more to give to others. Being a grace bearer is less of ourselves more of God, so that makes a less-more spirituality that contradicts our world’s way and brings about more civility with less strife. Less of our human condition, more of Jesus’ grace and truth. This is a less IS more that works for us, for our good. God bless you! Be a grace bearer today! Less of you, more of God.

Soul Distracted? How does that play out in our lives? Something gets our attention, our soul focus, and we follow after it with our thoughts, and of course our human condition kicks in and we start assuming, speculating, rationalizing, and that is just a wide open door for the enemy of our soul to come in and keep us so soul distracted. The only problem with that is, it doesn’t stop there, it moves into our attitudes and emotions! Close the door to the enemy of our soul… that is is how to stop soul distraction. Followship of Jesus is such a better option for us, no doubt about that. We get engrained in the chaos of our culture and the consequences of the sin that we see all around us everyday, the chaos of people living apart from God can be overwhelming. Instead of turning all the feelings that overwhelm us inwardly and try to carry it on our own, we should look up and say: We Need You Lord! We need God at the helm of our boats, so we can sail unencumbered by the things of this world in followship of You, God, depending on You first, being yoked to God. When we turn to our left or right, You are there, there isn’t anything we are not equipped for, You have made a way for us, there is no burden to heavy for You to carry. The foundation of our faith is Jesus, and the most incredible thing to remember is after Jesus died, they came to the tomb and there was an angel who said: Who are you looking for? They said: Jesus! The angel said: He Is Not Here! He has risen from the dead. God is with us, we are never without Him! Let this be written on the door of your heart and when the enemy knocks on your door with soul chaos in tow, guard your heart with the truth and deny his access, give him no permission to speak into your life. Make room for Jesus in your heart and leave no room for the enemy in your soul. God bless ya. Dig Deeper: https://thebridegroomscafe.com/not-distracted/ https://rumble.com/vgbqkp-fogged-in.html

We can find ourselves in these “suddenly” situations where our panic level rises quickly. My husband and I were walking back from a movie late at night and around 8 young people surrounded us yelling obscenities and acting really crazy. My husband said: Keep walking, don’t look at them, stay calm. All the while I was praying for God to protect us. We did the right thing, but God did His thing and caused the angry mob to lose interest in us and suddenly turn away. What do you do when panic suddenly arises in you when you suddenly find yourself in a crazy situation? Do you pray? Do you ask God for what you need? Just imagine you were the Israelites back up against the Red Sea with the desert on one side and the mountains on the other. Stuck! Ever feel that way stuck in the path of an advancing enemy? What did Moses tell them to do? Fear Not! Stand Still! Be Confident! Be Not Dismayed! God Will Deliver Us. Trust God! Why is it we don’t ask God for help? We try to “do” on our own. We try to “fix”on our own and things get worse and the enemy is still advancing on us. As we yield to God, let go and let Him work, He does some amazing things. He actually split the Red Sea so the Israelites could walk across. God wants to intervene in our lives, He wants to do amazing things for us. All we have to do is Ask Him. In a Crazy Situation? Ask God For Help! You will be amazed at what God does, it will be more than you could hope for or imagine. He is a great protector and provider, let God work for you. Ask God!

”If only I had someone to hear my case! Here is my signature; let the Almighty answer me. Let my Opponent compose his indictment. I would surely carry it on my shoulder and wear it like a crown. I would give him an account of all my steps; I would approach him like a prince.“ Job 31:35-37 CSB Thinking about Job, He was such a godly man, then he had all kinds of hell hit his life and all of a sudden his previous integrity meant nothing. His friends falsely accusing him of sinning and being punished by God, his really good reputation tarnished. Does that bother you when people who should trust your integrity make assumptions about you that are not true? Has that ever happened to you where someone has judged your motives and misinterpreted your actions? False accusations are the worst. You wonder… how can a person know another person’s motive? The truth is only God can. God knows us inside to outside. We all feel like people should be fair to one another, but that doesn’t happen too often, life is just not fair and people make bad assumptions about other people and injustice happens. You wonder why people who are in relationship with other people, who falsely accuse them, do not trust the integrity of that persons life. Job’s whole life was one of integrity, but his friends never counted that into their unjust treatment of him. It is what it is. How can anything be fair in this chaotic world saturated with deception? Yet there is always good in a bad situation, as God will use these hurtful things to bring out what is in our heart, in our soul that should not be there and He will create a discipleship moment where we get to grow through into better people. When it comes to false accusations, this kind of situation can press into our human condition. If we have a “short fuse” when it comes to being condemned, scorned, and falsely accused, we are quick to defend ourselves, but when that doesn’t help and the situation becomes a crooked place, it makes it worse when soul anger enters in and a “fleshing out” occurs with soured emotions from a wounded soul. The one thing that needs to change is the one step of remembering Who is your defender? God is. Who is the fixer? God is. Who keeps us self-controlled? God does! God is the fixer, we are not, God is the defender, we are not and God is our strength, wisdom and discernment to make the next right choice. When we don’t stay in our own lane and step into His, things don’t end well. Truly all we have to do is Ask God, this is a really good choice. But sometimes we do what it says in Isaiah 50:10-11, we kindle our own fire and walk by the light of a man-made fire that will flame out and leave us in a greater soul torment. God is our helper in any time of our need, there isn’t anything He can’t help us with. We need to Ask God before we act. Ask God, listen up and be navigated by Him. Let be, be still and know He is God. Dig Deeper: https://rumble.com/vlz6tp-way-maker-god.html https://thebridegroomscafe.com/let-god-work/ https://thebridegroomscafe.com/look-to-god/
