Don’t wait for tomorrow, to give away your gift..Someone needs your encouragement, a prayer, a lift.

It may even be a person you don’t even know, it may be a close friend that is sinking real low.

Don’t wait for tomorrow, to give away your gift..Someone needs your encouragement, a prayer, a lift.

Today is the day of Salvation in every sense of the Word. And thousands upon thousands have never even heard.

So tighten up your belt of righteousness and hold out your shield…submit all you have been given and watch His great yield.

And yes you will face fear and valleys of great opposition..but hold out His sword and remember your position.

You are a companion of the King of Kings, you are a masterpiece of the One who sings. Yes Our victorious Warrior sings over us 24/7 because He made a way for us to join Him fully in heaven!

But until then, don’t wait for tomorrow to share the best News, don’t get too beat up with people’s views or depressing blues…

Don’t focus on what you don’t have….focus on Who you have and what He’s given you!

Redeem every moment with those who cross your path. Be a living Bible to someone and spare them wrath. For He is not wishing any to perish..but all to receive His love..

don’t wait for tomorrow..it may never come.

Today is the day for salvation!!!

I didn’t know how amazing you would be with our kids..loving them, feeding them, cleaning their skids!

I didn’t know how brave you would be, following me on many adventures around the world.. Brazil, Mexico and being my copilot on giant truck & canoe trips across country!

I didn’t know how creative you would be with coaching, teaching our kids and hundreds of others to make life so much more fun.

I didn’t know how patient and gentle you would be when I was clueless on basic things of life.

I didn’t know how much you would fall in love with Jesus, but I’m so grateful you did. I am a proud member of the second place club!

I didn’t know how sweet you would be with your acts of service and encouragement through sermons and swim meets and the strife of life!

I didn’t know God gave me someone even better than what I thought!! Thanks Traci for being you and standing beside me through cancer and beyond! You are my best friend!

Happy happiest birthday my love! Brad

Traci Grace, you are my shining star in this crazy world!!

The last ride, the last swim the final day on earth for Him…where will I be?

Will I be riding with my daughters, will I be coaching sons and fathers..will I be preaching His Word to a crowd or will I be sharing Christ out loud? Will I be taking a walk with my wife, will I be throwing a knife ..,?

Will I be stuck in anger or captured with the things of this world? Will I be walking in the Spirit and listening to His voice? Will I be mocking others, talking words of opinion, void of truth, gawking at my phone or walking in His Spirit?

no one knows but God what I will be doing on that final day on Earth, but one thing is for sure..my second birth!!

Born again in Christ changes everything because my citizenship is in heaven with Jesus. My second birth doesn’t end on temporal Earth, no I will actually be raised up in the presence of Christ, forever. In the presence of Christ forever!!

The King of Kings will show me the River of Life and I bet we will walk on water together and fly without any man-made junk that breaks.

I only pray that when He comes or when I go. I will be found praying preaching or serving with His mighty Spirit who lives within me!

Amen

Lord, where are You..now? You opened the sea for Your people, You instantly made food for 5000, You healed leapers and kids by a simple prayer of belief, You walked on water, You kept three from getting burnt and smelling smokey from a fierce fire, You used a man’s sermon to save 3000, You answered with fire from heaven on a drencehed alter in front of hundreds of false prophets, You stopped the earth from getting dark for an Army to win a battle….and so many more OH wow LORD moments!!…

AND you also allowed most of your apostles to be killed for their belief in You, You allowed Your Son to take upon Himself ALL the sins of mankind, You used Noah and Job to take the shame of their suffering assignment to glorify You. You used Hosea to show your Hesed Love to Your unfaithful people. You allowed Isaiah to be sawed in half and Stephan to be stoned to death..

Yes, I want to know the power of Your resurrection mostly! But you say… AND the fellowship of Your suffering! Philippians 3:10

So when I say, “use me Lord”, I can’t chose how.  I only need to believe in Your Holy assignment and trust You know best! You know how to reach lost hearts!

Blessed be the Name of the Lord!! AMEN

So many times it seems the devil tries to inflict us with fear and anxiety..and he is quite successful.. if we allow him to to dominate our mind and our hearts. Today I was out in the desert with our daughter Hannah. She was riding her horse in beautiful desert scenery..except for the 2 rattlesnakes that crossed the path.  I gave my daughter a lesson on rattlesnakes since she’s new to Arizona.

On the way back, I was feeling dehydrated and I started having what I thought was a little panic attack. I felt like the Lord told me.. why don’t you have a God attack . Why don’t you Quote Isaiah 41:10  and say it and believe it.. So I started quoting Isaiah 4110. Do not fear, the Lord is with you, Do not be dismayed for I am Your God, I will help you, yes I will strengthen you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

I kept repeating that and the word of God began to penetrate

my heart and my mind as it is right now. And I felt the panic flee! Thank you Jesus for your word that is alive for your word that is the truth for your word that sets us free!

Thanks for the God attack today Lord!!

What a view!!! Wow, just being still in His presence, you can see so much more! As I listen with my whole being, the best I know how.. the view of His treasures becomes more real and greater than I could have imagined.  My eyes are stimulated by a heavenly playground of visual beauty…colors are brighter, pastures of unspoiled vegetation, mountains decorated with perfectly painted skies..rays of light declaring the Glory of God, right in front of me!

The view from being still brings me to the dining room of His love. The power of His forgiveness is too vast to comprehend but not pondered enough in my life. The view from being still is being in His presence long enough with no distractions to miss His glorious fullness of joy!

The view from being still is so humbling….to think that God allows us not only in His glorious presence (that’s amazing enough), but for Him to choose to live in us, in our earthy vessels of clay, that’s inconceivable,  unfathomable, yet…TRUE! True because He made it happen by the power of His might and.. He choose for His power to live in us! And because of Jesus,, wherever we are, the view of being still is ALWAYS the best view!!

Come to the hilltop, come to the Stream.. walk with me and see the Unseen. Watch out for diversions, distractions and such.. keep your eyes lifted up and you’ll not lose touch.

Today I was invited to dine with a King. He asked me to come close to hear Him sing. I heard His songs of joy and His heartbeat of Grace. He whispered in my ear come seek my face. Come dine awhile with me,.. fly with me and I will set you free.

Say yes to the invitation to go deeper with the Creator of all things..Ancient of Days and King of all Kings. An open invitation of intimacy Way Beyond pleasure and fame something that puts this temporary world to shame. I accept the Kings invitation to dance… this is a new beginning of Holy Romance!!

Most people never understand what it means to live fully…not that they don’t try, they just pick the wrong things for filling up life to the fullest.

• 

My wife and I know someone who lives life to the fullest. In fact she does about everything to the fullest. She sleeps to the fullest, she studies & socializes until 2am she laughs for a thousand people..daily, she enjoys people with compassion and grace. She throws knives with precision and passion.. She learns and eats up knowledge about Pathology and biology. She drinks coffee like a thirsty elephant.  She lives off of laughter, coffee and Jesus!

• 

Olivia Joan Hering, your life is a movie of living life to the fullest! Keep showing this confused discontent world what Living is!!

• 

Keep smiling for Jesus and perhaps consider drinking a little less coffee!!!

• 

We love you Olivia (O Live yah!)

I’m going home soon..don’t know the day or hour. I just know that’s a promise that doesn’t scare me..no, it just gives me power. Power is perfected in weakness, I never knew how that could be, I’m going home soon..and that’s just fine with me.

You see my hope is not in my profession, although I enjoy it very well, my hope is not in my possessions even though I excell!

My hope is in the Truth of God’s love, the One who gave me every spiritual blessing from heaven above. I need not be afraid or worried about my needs..I’m going home soon so this is what I plead..

• 

Don’t miss out on the greatest adventure you ever could imagine. Seek first His kingdom and find out what He gives to you. Abundance of love you can’t contain freedom to forgive and joy during pain.

• 

I’m going home soon..it’s promised in His word. I have one wish..that you know the love of King Jesus and let your heart be cured.

There is a fierce beauty about you, I can see it in your eyes. Your poise and awareness around people, are NOT a disguise.

You have intense listening ability because you know your Kings orders, to love God first and all people across all borders.

• 

Ever since I met you, I sensed an intense, fierce beauty in your heart! You have a keen sense of knowing needs of people who are falling apart.

You seek Him diligently and you obey His Word. Your life is a beautiful letter of what He’s said and you’ve heard.

Keep flaming the fire of His fierce beauty and grace. I see a reflection of the Lion of Judah in your face!

Blessings beyond measure shalom over your new calling. We’re all here beside you when you feel like your falling!

Congratulations Courtney! share His fierce beauty daily!
