Just Worship Him

First Friday s have come and gone. I take my little there to play all the time and she makes very good money! I am happy that she plays there, her stage presence has grown, she practices religiously every day and has done so for the last 200+ days. I am so proud to see her playing, enjoying herself, making people happy...and she is only 10 yrs. old. I thank Adrina, her first violin teacher, for bringing her there so many years ago. It has not been easy, at the beginning we had asked others to come with us and play, but nobody would, so finally we went alone, I had to bribe her with $10 worth of Creamsicles so that she would start playing. Winter was really cold and rainy, we were there when no one else was. It was all worth it.

I have been making flags for worship for several years and I decided to write about how to make flags for worship. The simplest way to make a flag for worship. You will need: Fabric (preferably light and airy) any length Scissors Wooden rod ¾” in diameter (I have found out is the best size) Hot glue Sewing machine with thread matching the color of your fabric Sharpie or permanent marker (optional) Cut the flag to the desired size and sew around the edges, making sure that you pass through the corners several times so they don’t unravel. Sew a “pocket” on one edge about 1 1/2” wide; fold one of the edges of you flag and sew it to make a pocket, by making sure that you close one of the top ends also. Insert the rod in the pocket; glue the end with enough hot glue so the flag doesn't go anywhere. You are done! I like to use the “pocket” method of attachment because in case the rod breaks is a lot easier to unglue a little portion of the fabric than the whole thing, plus some fabrics...

“ T hose who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.” Jesus Christ, Mark 2:17 We have come to love "First Friday" (FF), you can never expect it to be the same, sometimes is very peaceful (as peaceful as a FF can be), sometimes is chaotic, this FF was the former. With a mixture of groups like lesbians, homosexuals, atheists, polite and not so polite, satanists, goths, agnostics, hippies and punks, sometimes with one group more predominant throughout the night, which makes it the most varied place to ever witness, is rough, and you need to be prayed up, and trust that God will give the words to speak, for believe they will challenge you. This last FF while we were praying I saw the Jesus Flag raised upon the gateway of the place. When we got there our company got delayed for about 30min, so Alex , Valerie and I were standing at what the Lord had previously showed us was the gate to the ...

But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. 2 Corinthians 3:18 I just went to a dance conference here in Vegas!, it was awesome, the Glory of God fell and we were forever changed, the teaching was great. Above is a picture of how they set up the hotel, with the ark of the covenant, purple, blue, red and "fire" silks, just beautiful. His presence was there. Later Saturday we went to dance on Las Vegas Strip, and it was an awesome witnessing opportunity. I learned so much and my eyes were opened to the fact that we are just not "dancers" but eternal worshippers, and that our worship can save and heal people. Praise Jesus!

"Envy remains hidden until a occasion comes along, what's the occasion?..well, simply put: God blesses your brother. " Bob Sorge This is one of the best messages I have ever heard, Bob Sorge wrote the book "Secrets Of The Secret Place" , which is a must have, I have not read the book on envy, but have heard Bob's teaching on the subject, it is absolutely heart and life changing, and is a free download on his site . While listening to it the Holy Spirit was revealing the envious ways of my heart, I felt the words pierce me, and all I could do is cry...while my husband watched me, I hope that you will listen to it and be blessed by it.

"...this is what I did, I said: HELP, HELP, HELP!!', during worship, it was loud... nobody noticed ...I was desperate...and guess what God did?: he helped me." Heidi Baker What do you do when you are leading the worship in a prayer meeting with 14 people, 4 Pastors and a worship leader, and there is absolutely no presence?, your singing is horrible, you even forgot how the songs play, your playing stinks, is a total dry disaster, you think to yourself: "I should have practiced more, I should have prayed before I came to the prayer meeting"(!?), I usually do. In retrospective this is what should have been done, and what was done: During practice I really felt that I should play a single song, or at least start with this one "Let it Rain". So as I painfully navigated through Jason Upton and Rita Springer's music, I became very aware that nothing was going on (and that's an understatement), remember that dream were you are naked in a room full of...

I love these songs, be blessed.
