There is just no other ONE

ah man i wish that my heart would never wander and be prone to idols.

Psalm 24...."does not lift up his soul to an idol or swear by another"

oh God keep me from idols. there is just no other one.

The first time I heard this song I was sitting in convocation at Liberty University. My heart felt like it fell to the floor and tears came down my face as i thought, "LORD there is no one but you."

i still remember that morning and to this day it is still my prayer that the LORD would keep my heart from idols.

I John 5:21 ..."keep yourself from idols." - just read the verses before ! idols keep us practicing (living in) sin. and what is the first commandment. the prophet Jeremiah gave us the warning too and called idols broken cisterns.

oh God, keep me from idols; i just wanna see you and know you with nothing in the way.

what makes you most happy?

well, whatever it is, that is your idol.

what's the first thing that comes to your mind: what do you fear most loosing?

it's your idol.

what, if you didn't have it anymore, would make you feel like a fish out of water?

it's your idol.

do you know what tends to become an idol in your life?

if not they are in full force.

it's only when you know and realize what they are and come to hate them that you can dismantle them, then ask the Holy Spirit to come, and find Christ fill a more intimate place in your life

I AM MADE TO WORSHIP! WAAAHOOOO!

Last month I had an astounding discover in my time with the LORD. my friends were going out of town and I was sceduled to watch their kids - with lots of alone time in the morning till 2:30pm. when i got out there i thought, "what am i gonna do for 2 days w/o my guitar?" well the next day the kids went off to school and i suddenly notice A PIANOOOO! hahahah. not to mention it was IN tune! and the acustics in the house were ammmaaazing - i had like reverb and everything going on. well i sat down and just began to toodle around and singing random things to the LORD- that's what i do most the time w/my music. it's become a ministry to the LORD. well, i started to get these words and sang them for a while: I am made to worship you; LORD I am made to worship you.
as time pasted more words came to me and i began to have tears rolling down my face. i felt the LORD's presence so densely and heavily that i was overwhelmed.
In that moment i felt the LORD speak to me and say, "this is why i've made you this way- your personality and gifting in music!....this is your job in my kingdom...to play to me and worship...your worship of me will flow out to others and lead them to worship me too..."
the LORD gave me a song to ministr to ME! wow i was so shocked. normally songs are not that
way- i felt like God wrote me a song to reveal HIS heart to me about me! WOWOWOOW
ha and when i thought i was going to hang out w/some kids God had really planned to write me a song and minister to me as i worshiped Him.

worship is our whole life. everything we say and do devoted to God. as paul said and "whatever you do, do it heartily as to the LORD!" that is worship explained from romans 12:2....talk about offering your body as a living sacrifice.
God enlarged that verse for me and showed me how my worship of Him is played out, in a special way, through music and my prayer life... this makes everything that i do more fruitful.

David was right...there are pleasure forever more at His right hand.
I don't care if live another day or do another thing in this life- hey i'm satisfied. nothing could even come close to the times i've had with the LORD and i pray that if i am not going to make much of HIM then could He please take me home now...

what a wonderful Savior. He is the great King over all the earth! lets bow down cause we are made to worship...awe-struck...

My heart is open to you...

I was looking at this broken fruit bowl thinking of how when i first made it i had invisioned putting fruit in it. well, it broke during the drying process (you can see the huge crack from where the clay separated). i was going to break it apart, throw some water on it, and start over. everyone was said nooo keep it! so i thought about it and said ok. it has turned out to be my favvvorite piece! imagine that! the very piece i was going to chuck.

The LORD showed me throught this broken fruit bowl that His heart is open to me and His arms are reaching down to me...we wants to give me so much.
If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!
Matthew 7:10-12
...how much more will he alse graciously give us all things...Romans 8
just like this bowl is opened because of the crack i invisioned its contents rolling out. i felt like God was saying, 'because of my Son i'm just ready to give you so much...all i have is going to roll out on you, receive it.'
i love looking at this piece of pottery because of the constant reminder it is that the LORD is open to me always.

when i was out at the international house of prayer this guy came up to me and said 'i feel like the LORD's hands are reaching out to you and He's saying just ask me...'
one day i looked at this fruit bowl and immediately remembered what he had said to me. it was like confirmation.
and if my heart is God's, as i delight in Him it becomes so, then whatever i ask will be granted to me because it is His will already.
