SUBJECT: HUNGER & THIRST AFTER
RIGHTEOUSNESS

Matthew 5:6 "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled".

Hey everyone, I don't know about you, but my desire for things in this world is growing less and less, as I walk closer with God. I am amazed at the diminishing aspirations of what used to drive me towards success and great achievement. Now my only inspiration is to know God more and to be found faithful in His Will (Plans and Purposes for my life (Jeremiah 29:11)). This is not to say that having dreams or setting goals for your life is wrong or "unholy"! I am just saying that there is an incredible contentment, joy, peace and a great sense of purpose that comes when you find yourself in the center of God's Will for your life. The "prize" I set for my life "before Christ in my life" was in accordance with the world's standards (and expectation - The American Dream). Now, as a born-again Christian, my new focus is on a different prize-- I am longing to press toward heaven's eternal rewards and striving to cross Heaven's Finish Line; where I will be met by others who have gone before me and have been cheering the rest of us "Saints of God" on in this race called Life.

Matthew 6:32-33 "For the pagans (unbelievers of Christ) pursue all these things, and your Heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you".

I believe that as I take care of God's business, He will take care of my needs. Even as I am blessed with the privilege of performing in musical revues in various venues right now in my early fifties (and LOVING IT!) I am extremely sensitive to my need to "SAFEGUARD" my relationship with Jesus Christ and Abba Daddy. I am a fulltime Christian--and I don't take off the "Christian Title or Label" when I step on stage as an entertainer. My performance on the stage is strictly to entertain folks with good, clean, wholesome family shows. When I am performing on stage, I refer to this as my being allowed to play "On God's Playground". After each show, I am excited to have the chance to meet and mingle with audience members (while always being sensitive to the leading of The Holy Spirit). Praise God that about 9 out of 10 times in my conversations with folks, I end up sharing about my personal relationship with Christ-- and I tell them that ALL GLORY TO GOD, because He is the one who has given me the talents and abilities to do what I do as an entertainer. God knows my greatest passion is to share JESUS with those in the audience; many of which may never step foot in a church for their own personal reasons. But I don't let this stop me from being sensitive to the "open window" where folks open ip about their faith walk. I LOVE IT FOLKS! Again I say, ALL GLORY TO GOD! If I I am boasting, please know I boast in The Lord. God IS and will ALWAYS BE My Number One priority. Nothing will ever take precedence over God in my life. My goal continues to be to SAFEGUARD my relationship and DECLARE the TRUTH that sets the captives free! In the midst of a few scrapes, bruises and scars along the way, and by God's grace and mercy, I am grateful that I am not losing sight of My First Love (Abba Daddy). In a world where so many voices are vying for our attention--pulling us one way, while, and at the same time, tearing our attention in another direction, we desperately need to be able to hear (and recognize) our heavenly Father's voice. The enemy is great at dangling forbidden fruit in front of us while whispering lies and false Promises of great success if ONLY we take a bite of "his rotting deceptions". He ultimately intends to keep us from hearing God's voice; leading us as far away as possible, from God's Original Blueprint for our lives.

My friends and family in Christ, please hear me when I share this warning from The Holy Spirit: 
BELOVED SAINTS OF GOD, IT IS WITH THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT YOU SAFEGUARD YOUR INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER. CONTINUE TO DWELL IN THE SECRET PLACE WITH HIM; LEARNING TO HEAR HIS VOICE, FOR OTHER VOICES WILL ATTEMPT TO DROWN OUT THE VOICE OF GOD! SAINTS, THE SPIRIT OF GOD ALSO SAYS:

"TIMES OF DARKNESS IS COMING "SWIFT & SUDDEN" UPON THE EARTH (EVEN SOONER THAN YOU THINK)-- AND YOU MUST KNOW MY VOICE FOR I WILL LEAD YOU SAFELY; GUIDING YOU, AND DIRECTING YOUR STEPS. FEAR NOT MY BELOVED CHILDREN, FOR ALTHOUGH THE WICKED WITH DWELL IN UTTER DARKNESS, FEAR AND CONFUSION, MY PEOPLE WILL FIND GREAT COMFORT AND PEACE UNDER MY MIGHTY WINGS.

MY WORD WILL TRULY BE A LIGHT UNTO YOUR PATH AND A LAMP UNTO YOUR FEET. I AM STRATEGICALLY POSITIONING YOU AROUND THE ENEMY'S CAMP; FOR THIS IS THE END-TIME HARVEST FIELDS IN THIS FINAL HOUR! MANY WILL SEE "THIS LIGHT OF TRUTH" AND BE DRAWN OUT FROM THE LIES AND DECEPTION OF THE ENEMY. I WILL CONTINUE TO STRATEGICALLY POSITION YOU, MY BELOVED PEOPLE, JUST OUTSIDE OF THE ENEMY'S CAMP WHERE EVIL AND THE WICKED ABIDE IN FALSE SECURITY. THE DEVIL WILL CONTINUE TO ATTEMPT TO KILL, STEAL AND DESTROY GOD'S HOLY REMNANT-- BUT BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS AND FEAR NOT, NOR BE DISMAYED MY CHILDREN, FOR I WILL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU.

EVEN NOW, IN THIS VERY MOMENT, SATAN IS DOING EVERYTHING HE CAN TO SNUFF OUT THE "LIGHT OF TRUTH" AND TO TRAMPLE THE "SALT OF THE EARTH" UNDERFOOT. HE DOES NOT WANT TO LOSE ONE MORE SOUL TO "THE TRUTH THAT SETS THE CAPTIVES FREE". HE KNOWS TWO THINGS HAPPEN WHEN THE LIGHT OF TRUTH COMES INTO HIS CAMP; 1). TRUTH EXPOSES SATAN'S TRUE IDENTITY, HIS LIES AND DECEPTION AND HIS TRUE INTENTIONS; 2). MANY OF THOSE HELD CAPTIVE IN HIS LIES AND DECEPTION WILL SUDDENLY SEE THE TRUTH, AND THEY WILL BECOME "TRAITORS OF SATAN'S ARMY" AND FLEE; PULLED OUT AS IF SNATCHED FROM THE VERY FIRES OF HELL.

MY BELOVED CHILDREN, YOU MUST BE PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO WILL FLEE FROM THE ENEMY'S CAMP; PROSTITUTES, HOMOSEXUALS, DRUNKARDS, SORCERERS, ADULTERERS, MY WAYWARD CHILDREN (THE BACK-SLIDERS & APOSTATES) AS WELL AS OTHERS. REMEMBER, MY BELOVED, "FOR SUCH WERE SOME OF YOU" SO DO NOT JUDGE BY OUTWARD DISPOSITION. MY SERVANTS, YOU ARE "THE LIGHT" AND "THE SALT" AND YOU WILL REAP THESE PRECIOUS SOUL; THE END-TIME HARVEST!

In closing, I encourage anyone who may find themselves in great inner turmoil; anxiety, fear, anger - or you are just plain discontent or unhappy with your life right now-- please Call out to JESUS right where you are at; driving down a backroad in the country; sitting in the dark on your bed wrestling with another sleepless night; or you are staring at the television and your not really watching it but you just like the noise to fill the option of dead silence. God is right there waiting for you to spend ime talking to Him. It doesn't matter how messed up you and your life circumstances are in this very moment. He is right there waiting with incredible loving arms. I've been there myself far too many times to count-- and He always lovingly encourages me and gives me the peace I need when the world around me gets crazier and more chaotic. God Loves you so much my friend, so please take a little time to just talk to God. He is faithful my friend!

I pray that everyone continues to hunger and thirst after righteousness, because only Jesus Christ and Our Heavenly Father (Abby Daddy) CAN (and DOES) fill us with divine peace, joy and amazing satisfaction and contentment that this world will never be able to provide to us my friends! God bless you all and have an incredible week. Be blessed and Be A Blessing in Jesus' Name!
