Hello 3D gals! Our Tuesday evening Bible Study is back up and running with fire after our Holiday break. This season, we have been going through the study of my upcoming book, "For This ... I Bow." It is such vibrant season we are living at 3D, both in the Word and in Spirit! If you haven't joined us yet, don't hesitate! Each study, though part of the series, is independent and stands on its own for anyone to enjoy at any time! So, you can come and go as your schedule permits!

This week our study comes from Ephesians 3:16, “I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being.” Adorned with glorious riches, the worshiper stands poised with extraordinary power flowing from their inner being, fueled by the fire of the indwelling Spirit of God."
There is a Covenant for you to enter into today! A covenant with God that is a NEW, fresh, Living Covenant … one not based on Law or human effort, but on grace and favor! This Covenant will lead you into new dimensions that you may have never even imagined. Jesus Christ, the fulfillment of the Old Covenant, left His Disciples (and generations to come) with a great and precious gift, a power accessible to each one of us! This power is the sign of the New Covenant!

Join us at 3D, this Tuesday at 7pm at The Tab's World Leadership Center. Let's discover this power and come in to greater understanding together, as we see the New Covenant activated in our lives!

Hey beautiful ladies. It's a new year. I'm sure we all have different feelings when this time rolls around each January 1st. I am not one to make New Year's Resolutions. I AM one to open a new journal and seek God to hear His heart for my life, for the new year. What areas do I need to grow in? Where can I do better? What things do I need to give up, that are not effective uses of my time? How can I be a better version of who God wants me to be...to Him, to my husband..., to my children, to my friends, to my church, to strangers, to my enemies? Most importantly, where do I fit in? Where do you want to use me? Deep stuff, right? We all ask these questions. As I was journaling and studying, I came across this paragraph from Beth Moore. It brought me to tears, and I hope it encourages you all today. We are all in this together.

 
In this, she is talking about finding our place, our ministry, where we fit in.  Look at it as... in 2015....
 
God is looking to our sincere resolve to do some good in His great name. Stay after it, Sister. Stay willing, stay flexible, and teachable, and God will not let you miss what He put you on this planet to accomplish. If you're on the wrong road, He'll take you to the right place. He will raise you up out of a rubble of confusion, so that you're trained and equipped for works that work." Beth Moore
So, if in this new year, you are searching, it's a good thing. The last thing we ever want to be is, content. We're on a pilgrimage. Stay after it, Sister.  Beth Moore
 
2 Thessalonians 1:11-12 MSG
Because we know that this extraordinary day is just ahead, we pray for you all the time-pray that our God will make you fit for what he's called you to be, pray that he'll fill your good ideas and acts of faith with his own energy so that it all amounts to something. If your life honors the name of Jesus, he will honor you. Grace is behind and through all of this, our God giving himself freely, the Master, Jesus Christ, giving himself freely.

March 16, 2013, during worship Sunday morning.  Pastor Aimee began to sing,
   
"I am running after, running after, running after You.  I am running to You, running to You,
     running to You."

This is the picture of what God showed me by His Spirit. 

There appeared a great multitude of people.  They were all different ages and races.  Each person was carrying a huge pack on their backs.  These were some serious backpacks.  Imagine the kind of pack you would take into the woods camping, or something someone in the military would carry.  They were large and filled completely.  The packs were so big that the posture of each person was hunched over.  The weight of the packs would not allow them to stand up straight.  I saw Jesus far, far, off in the distance.  I saw the radiating light of His glory.  His eyes shown bright.  At that moment the people began to see Him.  They caught a glimpse of His eyes.  The people began to walk toward Him.  They tried to move faster and slowly tried to jog His way.  What they carried on their backs was limiting their ability to quickly get to Him.  All of a sudden their desire to get to Him outweighed the need to carry the pack.  They finally decided, and simultaneously realized, they didn't need to carry them anymore!  Together the people started to rip the packs off of their backs so they could sprint to Him.  They realized they just needed to get to Him.

Matthew 11:28-30 NLT
    "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you.  Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light."

God wants to take off the pack you are carrying and give you rest.  When we fix our eyes on Him and allow Him to carry the burden for us, we will find rest.  The pack may remain full, full of worry, sickness, fear, hurt, brokenness, shame, hopelessness, etc.  If we can make a purposed decision to take off the pack and place it at His feet, He will give us rest!  When we fix our eyes on God and run to Him, we give Him permission to carry our burden.  We are not meant to carry it.  He paid the price so we wouldn't have to.  As we seek Him and find Him, we discover that He has lightened our packs.  God takes the burden and He fills us up with Peace.  Rest.  Joy.  Love.  Purpose.  Wisdom.  Hope.  New Vision.  New Dreams. 
Can we make a decision today to remove the pack that we carry, place it at His feet, and run to Jesus?  He wants to fill you with hope.

Psalm 55:22 NKJ
    "Cast your burden on the Lord, And He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.

Hebrews 12:28-29

 "Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire."

Words cannot describe how awesome this past weekend was.  The sound of the Kingdom was truly released!!  I was so blessed to be a part of that time together, lifting up the name of the Lord in such an incredible way. I felt renewed, and was ready to soar higher than I ever have.

So Monday morning came, with incredible focus and passion within me.  I was able to be a part of a special prayer meeting where God continued speaking to my heart regarding our city and region.  Then Monday afternoon came, with a phone call.  My husband, shared some news with me about someone very close to our hearts.  The situation was desperate and nearly tragic, and quite honestly, shook me to the core.  My heart was broken, and the only thing I could do was cry out to God and let the tears flow.  My mind tried piecing together the cause, the reasons.  Then again, my heart said...."Seek His face."

Monday night came, with a very restless sleep.  The next day, more phone calls were made with conversations trying to give explanations and answers.  As the day went on, I felt this phrase rise up from within me, "unshakable Kingdom." Friday night Bishop Garlington shared his thoughts on sound, how it is "invasive, intrusive and irresistable."  He connected that same thought with the Kingdom of God.  As I was reminded of this, I added something to his three points...unshakable.

The Kingdom of God is unshakable.  The sound of the Kingdom is unshakable.  I was reminded that in this life, I will hear many "sounds."  I will hear the sound of this present world, which fights against everything God's truth stands for.  I will hear the sound of circumstance, which always carries unanswered questions.  And sometimes I will hear the sound of heartbreaking news, that touches someone I know and love.  These "sounds," are unstable, uncertain...shakable. 

And so, the unshakable truth remains and cries out through the darkness.  Within my being there is a Kingdom.  This Kingdom is ruled by the Spirit and presence of the Living God.  Within this Kingdom there is a sound, unshakable. It waivers not, it fails not.  It is the sound of truth, life, deliverance, healing and victory.  It is the sound of praise...it is the sound of worship unto the King of all Kings.  It is with this unshakable sound I can pray into shakable and uncertain situations.  It is by this Kingdom I can stand when everything is crumbling all around my feet.  It is with this unshakable faith I can walk through trials and know my God is with me...all the way.
