Messing up and moving on...
Ok we all mess up, but I just made a doozie. I'm thankful for the Fathers love and mercy, picking me up and brushing me off and teaching me the right way...but lately I feel like I'm making a lot of mistakes, then I tell myself thats just the devil messing with my mind, and it's like I don't know, I'm having a hard time describing how I feel right now...I know it's just the devil, and I keep telling myself that, but it's eating me up inside, this emotion part to it all...if anyone has anything to say, or maybe what your going through, or how you've learned from a certain situation, I would love to hear about it, so please comment...
Love,
Kodie Rae

La La La
I am Here, standing in the rain
And you are washing all my hurt away
With your loving arms surrounding me
An unquenchable thirst for your love; envelops me
Unfading fire, falling all around
I feel myself fall, onto Holy ground
I'm at Your throne- worshiping
Father take me into your arms
Mold me into your Love
Shape me; for I long to be like You, in all that I do.
And you are washing all my hurt away
With your loving arms surrounding me
An unquenchable thirst for your love; envelops me
Unfading fire, falling all around
I feel myself fall, onto Holy ground
I'm at Your throne- worshiping
Father take me into your arms
Mold me into your Love
Shape me; for I long to be like You, in all that I do.

Can you say the word TRIAL!
I'm gonna come out and say it: I'm supper aggrivated!
I have been doing so well, and I thought that I have been mannaging 'it' very well also, but lately it's getting thrown in my face like a bizzilion and one times, in just the past 3 stinkin days! And what these people are doing isn't wrong, it's just something that I have personally had to put aside, so that it won't hinder my walk with the Lord, so I'm not searching for this thing, but that He will give it to me when I am ready, and not just when I think I'm ready, but when He knows I'm ready, and this probally really seems like I'm babbiling on and on, but this has gotta get out, before I have a melt down!
Ok I feel much better!
God, please help me keep my eyes on you in ALL that I do!
"....for I have the MIND of CHRIST"
-1 Corinthians 2:16

BOLD as a lion!
This morning when I went to read my bible, the Lord put Joshua 1 on my heart immediately as I opened my bible…so I’m reading Joshua 1 and things began to stick out that have never really caught my attention before…I always knew God told Joshua to be Bold & Courageous, but he told him specifically 3x’s to be Bold & Courageous. Verses 5-9 were the commands and the instructions God gave Joshua but this is what caught my attention:
7 “Be strong and very courageous. Be carful to obey all the instruction Moses gave you. Do not deviate from them turning to the right or the left. Then you will be successful in all that you do. 8Study this book of instruction continually and meditate o it day and night so that you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do. 9This is my command- be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discourage. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
Joshua 1:7-9
God has given us His word to live on and study, He has given us everything we need to prosper and succeed; we just have to put it to use…and seek Him, and study his word. When we study his word are mind will be renewed through the act of getting His word down in us, and firmly rooted.
In the book by E.W. Kenyon “Two Kinds of Righteousness” It was talking about how when we become saved, and we begin walking in what God has for us are right standing is restored, and under that section in the book, this phrase(s) stood out:
“Righteousness comes to us in the New Creation. It restores our standing before God. It takes away the old Sin Consciousness that has crippled and robbed us of all our spiritual initiative, confidence and assurance in His presence. It restores to man a standing before the Father on the same ground that Jesus enjoyed in His earth walk.”
“Remember the fearlessness of Jesus in the presence of the Father and His fearlessness (and boldness) before Satan.”
My question was how did he have it, because well I want it to, the answer:
“He knew He had the legal right in the Father’s presence. He knew He was the Master of Satan and all his Forces.”
“He had no sense of inferiority in the presence of death. He had no sense of inferiority in the presence of disease. He was not afraid to speak to the maimed and command them to become whole.”
Point blank is Jesus knew who he was in the Father, and nothing intimidated Him because, there was no need for it to, because “Greater in He that is in me than He that is in the world.” (I don’t know the reference)
SO JUST BE BOLD!

"Dance this beautiful dance, and drink from His cup of romance..."
The title of this post is from the worship song from Rick Pino "Your Love is Like" and the phrase has just been on my heart since thursday night at prayer.
So I was reading in my text book and one oftheparagraphs stood out to me (suprise surprise) and it was talking about faith, because it's a text book on faith and anyways it had Psalms 27:1 "...the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?"
So that sparking my intrest and all I read that entire Psalms, and I have read it before several times but this time it was like a new revelation of that Psalms.
I'm not going to type the entire Psalms I'm just gonna type the parts that I highlighted...
"The Lord my light and my salvation so why should I be afraid? The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger, so why should I tremble? Though a mighty army surrounds me, my herat will not be afraid. Even If I am attacked I will remain confident. The one thing I ask of the Lord- The thing I seek most- is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, delighting in the Lord's perfections and meditating in His Temple. For He will conceal me there when troubles come; He will hide me in His sanctuary. He will place me out of reach on a high rock. Then i will hold my head up high above my enemies who surround me. At his sanctuary I will offer sacrifices, with shouts of joy, singing and praising the Lord with music. My heart has heard you say, "Come and talk with me." And my heat responds, "Lord Iam coming." Even if my father and mother abandon me the Lord will hold me close. Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. yes wait patiently for the Lord."
The Lord created ME, and He wants to spend time with ME, He delights in ME!!! I have had this revelation before, but I guess God is doing a new work in me, and He is giving me a "re-revalation" I guess you could say. In Him I have nothing to fear! It says in Psalms 27:3 "Troubles may come, but I will not be afraid, and even if I am attacked I WILL REMAIN CONFIDENT!" it's jsut that he made us, and didn't leave us to fend for ourselves, He made us and takes care of us! As I'm writting this tears fill up in my eyes, because He is just that good to me! I make mistakes, but he still loves me for me, He accepts me for who I am! In verse 5 and 6 it says he places me on a rock far above my enemies AND holds my head high- He isn't ashamed of me!!! I verse 8 It says he calls out to us come and talk with me, HE WANTS ME! He desires for us to want to spend time with him, He desires me! That fact alone is well worth any hardship that may come my way, and trust me there have been plenty, and I am sure that there are more to follow, but hey, if I wasn't facing any trials right now, I think I would be more worried, because that would mean the devil wouldn't view me as a threat...

“A ship is safe in harbor, but that's not what ships are for.”
- William Shedd
What has God called us to do that we aren't doing, are we ignoring God? I know sometimes I do...but we weren't created to sit there and do nothing! God created us with a purpose and a plan, he has put a calling on every single person, but how many of are walking in what he has called for us to do?
Jeremiah 29:11 says
" For I know the plans I have for you" says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not disaster, to give you future and hope."
God has done all the hard work, he has planned everything out for us...we just have to trust him and take action and do it!
This is just something that popped into my head as I was writing ^^^^ that up there so, I hope you enjoy it :)
Recently someone told me: "Kodie, stop being so fearful and just be bold!"
So I started facing my fears, your probably thinking that's easy right, WRONG! If you got serious and began to analyze your life, you would see that, there are things that don't seem like "fear" to you, but there are different types and forms of it. For example dreading something, being passive to avoid conflict, the simple thing most people deal with: caring what others think about you, and it can go on and on.
So how do we counteract fear? Easy answer: By FAITH!
Faith and fear have the same definition...
Faith-"believing in your heart that something you can't see with your eyes is going to come to pass"
Fear has the same definition as faith-"believing in your heart that something you can't see with your eyes is going to come to pass"
The difference is:
Faith is the "persuasion of the truth from God's word."
Fear is the "persuasion of a lie from Satan's word."

My first BLOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok so my very first blog!!! This is kind of weird, but I like it!!! :)
So I just started Bible college a few weeks ago, and I'm absolutely loving it!!! God has been Illuminating (where faith comes alive in the heart) different things to me...one of which is faith!!!
So there is a difference between HOPE and FAITH:
"Faith says, "It's mine. I have it now." Hope says, "I'll get it sometime." But as long as you are in hope and not faith, whatever you are desiring will not materialize-it will never come into being. But the moment you start beiliving and acting like God's word is so, your faith will work for you."
-Kenneth E. Hagin
If you look at it tense wise it would go something like this:
Faith is in the present tense..."Now" faith.
Hope is in the future tense.
Hebrews 11:1 says
"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen."
Mark 11:24 says
"...and ye shall have them." It says "...believe that ye RECIEVE them, and ye shall have them"
This opened my eyes and shed some light on things in my life: like when im praying for myself or others about healing or anything, now I'm watching the words I pray and I speak only in faith!
That's just what has been on my heart!
I love you Cassie Jean for showing me this bloggers world!
