Are You Ready for a Double Portion of Fire?

When they had crossed over, Elijah said to Elisha, “What can I do for you, before I am taken away from you?” Elisha answered, “May I receive a double portion of the prophetic spirit that energizes you.” Elijah replied, “That’s a difficult request! If you see me taken from you, may it be so, but if you don’t, it will not happen.” As they were walking along and talking, suddenly a fiery chariot pulled by fiery horses appeared. They went between Elijah and Elisha, and Elijah went up to heaven in a windstorm. While Elisha was watching, he was crying out, “My father, my father! The chariot and horsemen of Israel!” Then he could no longer see him. He grabbed his clothes and tore them in two.

He picked up Elijah’s cloak, which had fallen off him, and went back and stood on the shore of the Jordan. He took the cloak that had fallen off Elijah, hit the water with it, and said, “Where is the Lord, the God of Elijah?” When he hit the water, it divided and Elisha crossed over. 2 Kings 2:9-14

Set a fire down in my soul that I can’t contain, that I can’t control

(There's) No place I would rather be, (There's) No place I would rather be, (There's) No place I would rather be, But here in Your love, here in Your love (So) Set a fire down in my soul That I can't contain and I can't control Cause I want more of You God I want more of You God Kindle that flame Burning deep, deep down Change me, make me new From the inside out.

The chariot of fire came down and whisked Elijah away because of the"walk" that He had with God. He was consumed by the Lord's love, His all consuming fire...

Matthew 10:22-24 says,

And everyone will hate you because of your allegience to me. But those who endure to the end shall be saved. When you are persecuted in one town, flee to the next., I assure you that I, the Son of Man, will return before you have reached all the towns of Israel.

The fiery Elijah confronted and exposed idolatry, helping to change the atmosphere where people could freely ad publicly worship God. Elisha then moved in to demonstrate God's powerful yet caring nature to all those who came to him for help. Great I Am by New Life Worship I

Prophecy during worship today: Lifepoint Church, Tallahassee, FL. There is a great fire coming,coming from the LORD. It will be as the fiery chariots that came down from heaven and scooped up Elijah. It will leave a remnant of passion and glory needed to equip those who are walking in the last days - those who are willing to pick up this mantel, those who are willing to bear my name in the heat of the battle that is coming upon the earth. This is a battle against the host of hell. My Fire is a refining fire, a purifying fire and I will use those who can bear the fire when it gets hot. These will be those who worship me in spirit and in truth. These will be those who are willing to lay down their idols, lay down their own agendas, lay down their technology for the day is coming when you will not be able to communicate with each other in this manner. You must be a people of trust, people of honor, silent before me in the storm, so you can hear my voice in the midst of the rumblings and grumblings coming upon the earth. You must be willing to lay down your earthly keys in order to pick up your heavenly keys. These are the keys to the Kingdom.

I Corinthians 12:4 - God has given us grace to be great, grace to have gifts which are supernatural. Pastor Richard Marcello Lifepoint Church

My Princess... "I WILL PROTECT YOU"

Dear Cinderella Released,

I am your shield of protection. Many times you wonder where I am in the midst of the battle that rages around you. You feel abandoned on the battlefield. Don’t be afraid and don’t lose faith.

I am here, and I am always victorious. I will protect you, but you must trust Me. Sometimes I will lead you to shelter for safety and restoration. Other times I will ask you to join Me on the front line in the heat of the battle.

The truth is, I can kill any giant that threatens your life, but, just like David the shepherd boy, it’s up to you to march forward, pick up the stones, and face your giant.

I love to prove MY STRENGTH;
when the odds are the greatest and hope is the smallest.

I am truly your shelter and your deliverer –
I will protect you no matter where you are.

Love,
Your KING and your PROTECTOR

“You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.” ~ Psa. 32:7

She lived life; she surely did live right!

"We truly must set forth at dawn/to make the best of the dregs of our days/emerge from our current shadows of norm/and banish the lingering nightmares of our today./ We should cast aside our fears/and take life by storm,/the bull by the horn/lets get them to sing this sweet dirge when we are done/he live! Oh yeah, he sure set forth at dawn!/for me, I will live my true dreams/for dusk beckons/and make the best of this fading light/so that men will say,/ "He lived life; he surely did live right!"" Ozoemene

Dancing with God

Dancing With God

When I meditated on the word Guidance,
I kept seeing "dance" at the end of the word.

I remember reading that doing God's will is a lot like dancing.
When two people try to lead, nothing feels right. The movement doesn't flow with the music, and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky.

When one person realizes that, and lets the other lead, both bodies begin to flow with the music. One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back or by pressing lightly in one direction or another.

It's as if two become one body, moving beautifully.
The dance takes surrender, willingness, and attentiveness from one person, and gentle guidance and skill from the other.

My eyes drew back to the word Guidance.
When I saw "G": I thought of God, followed by "u" and "i".

"God, "u" and "i" "dance." God, you, and I dance.

As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust that I would get guidance about my life. Once again, I became willing to let God lead.
My prayer for you today is that God's blessings and mercies are upon you on this day and everyday. May you abide in God, as God abides in you.
Dance together with God, trusting God to lead and to guide you through each season of your life. Author Unknown

This prayer is powerful and there is nothing attached. If God has done anything for you in your life, please share this message with someone else.

Interceding in prayer is one of the best gifts we can receive. There is no cost but a lot of rewards; So let's continue to pray for one another.

And I Hope You Dance!

2010 The Year of Hope and Godly Character

1 Thessalonians 2:17-20 (The Message)

Do you have any idea how very homesick we became for you, dear friends? Even though it hadn't been that long and it was only our bodies that were separated from you, not our hearts, we tried our very best to get back to see you. You can't imagine how much we missed you! I, Paul, tried over and over to get back, but Satan stymied us each time. Who do you think we're going to be proud of when our Master Jesus appears if it's not you? You're our pride and joy!

Even though Paul was lonely for his friends,and obstacles kept him from those precious relationships, still his hope remained in the Lord and that the Lord would indeed, keep hope alive. Hope of Character!

Colossians 1:26-29 (The Message)

This mystery has been kept in the dark for a long time, but now it's out in the open. God wanted everyone, not just Jews, to know this rich and glorious secret inside and out, regardless of their background, regardless of their religious standing. The mystery in a nutshell is just this: Christ is in you, so therefore you can look forward to sharing in God's glory. It's that simple. That is the substance of our Message. We preach Christ, warning people not to add to the Message. We teach in a spirit of profound common sense so that we can bring each person to maturity. To be mature is to be basic. Christ! No more, no less. That's what I'm working so hard at day after day, year after year, doing my best with the energy God so generously gives me.

Why are you running? Are you doing it because it brings you glory or glory to God? We should attend to what makes the Lord happy. Tribulation was the norm for the New Testament Church. We should hope that Christ is formed in us and that God would be glorified.

Isaiah 40:27-31 (The Message)

Why would you ever complain, O Jacob,
or, whine, Israel, saying,
"God has lost track of me.
He doesn't care what happens to me"?
Don't you know anything? Haven't you been listening?
God doesn't come and go. God lasts.
He's Creator of all you can see or imagine.
He doesn't get tired out, doesn't pause to catch his breath.
And he knows everything, inside and out.
He energizes those who get tired,
gives fresh strength to dropouts.
For even young people tire and drop out,
young folk in their prime stumble and fall.
But those who wait upon God get fresh strength.
They spread their wings and soar like eagles,
They run and don't get tired,
they walk and don't lag behind.

Godly Character produces patience.
Death is not a natural thing-
Grief is not a natural thing-
We are not supposed to be separated!

Romans 5
Developing Patience
1-2 By entering through faith into what God has always wanted to do for us—set us right with him, make us fit for him—we have it all together with God because of our Master Jesus. And that's not all: We throw open our doors to God and discover at the same moment that he has already thrown open his door to us. We find ourselves standing where we always hoped we might stand—out in the wide open spaces of God's grace and glory, standing tall and shouting our praise.

3-5 There's more to come: We continue to shout our praise even when we're hemmed in with troubles, because we know how troubles can develop passionate patience in us, and how that patience in turn forges the tempered steel of virtue, keeping us alert for whatever God will do next. In alert expectancy such as this, we're never left feeling shortchanged. Quite the contrary—we can't round up enough containers to hold everything God generously pours into our lives through the Holy Spirit!

6-8 Christ arrives right on time to make this happen. He didn't, and doesn't, wait for us to get ready. He presented himself for this sacrificial death when we were far too weak and rebellious to do anything to get ourselves ready. And even if we hadn't been so weak, we wouldn't have known what to do anyway. We can understand someone dying for a person worth dying for, and we can understand how someone good and noble could inspire us to selfless sacrifice. But God put his love on the line for us by offering his Son in sacrificial death while we were of no use whatever to him.

9-11 Now that we are set right with God by means of this sacrificial death, the consummate blood sacrifice, there is no longer a question of being at odds with God in any way. If, when we were at our worst, we were put on friendly terms with God by the sacrificial death of his Son, now that we're at our best, just think of how our lives will expand and deepen by means of his resurrection life! Now that we have actually received this amazing friendship with God, we are no longer content to simply say it in plodding prose. We sing and shout our praises to God through Jesus, the Messiah!

The Death-Dealing Sin, the Life-Giving Gift

12-14 You know the story of how Adam landed us in the dilemma we're in— first sin, then death, and no one exempt from either sin or death. That sin disturbed relations with God in everything and everyone, but the extent of the disturbance was not clear until God spelled it out in detail to Moses. So death, this huge abyss separating us from God, dominated the landscape from Adam to Moses. Even those who didn't sin precisely as Adam did by disobeying a specific command of God still had to experience this termination of life, this separation from God. But Adam, who got us into this, also points ahead to the One who will get us out of it.

15-17 Yet the rescuing gift is not exactly parallel to the death-dealing sin. If one man's sin put crowds of people at the dead-end abyss of separation from God, just think what God's gift poured through one man, Jesus Christ, will do! There's no comparison between that death-dealing sin and this generous, life-giving gift. The verdict on that one sin was the death sentence; the verdict on the many sins that followed was this wonderful life sentence. If death got the upper hand through one man's wrongdoing, can you imagine the breathtaking recovery life makes, sovereign life, in those who grasp with both hands this wildly extravagant life-gift, this grand setting-everything-right, that the one man Jesus Christ provides?

18-19 Here it is in a nutshell: Just as one person did it wrong and got us in all this trouble with sin and death, another person did it right and got us out of it. But more than just getting us out of trouble, he got us into life! One man said no to God and put many people in the wrong; one man said yes to God and put many in the right.

20-21 All that passing laws against sin did was produce more lawbreakers. But sin didn't, and doesn't, have a chance in competition with the aggressive forgiveness we call grace. When it's sin versus grace, grace wins hands down. All sin can do is threaten us with death, and that's the end of it. Grace, because God is putting everything together again through the Messiah, invites us into life—a life that goes on and on and on, world without end.

Philippians 3:17-19 (The Message)

Stick with me, friends. Keep track of those you see running this same course, headed for this same goal. There are many out there taking other paths, choosing other goals, and trying to get you to go along with them. I've warned you of them many times; sadly, I'm having to do it again. All they want is easy street. They hate Christ's Cross. But easy street is a dead-end street. Those who live there make their bellies their gods; belches are their praise; all they can think of is their appetites.

Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God. Who made heaven and earth, the sea and all that is in them, who keeps truth forever, who executes justice for the oppressed, who gives food to the hungry. The Lord gives freedom to the prisoners. Psalm 146

Not Your Cinderella - Catherine Britt CMAA Artist of the Year

You walk in a room and all the girls talk
I guess you get used to most of them fallin'
Down at you feet.
Cause you got the charm and the debonair down
So tall and dark like you just came out of
Some kind of fairy tale dream.
Oooh baby you're something
Oooh but I'm ...

Not your Cinderella
You're not the one in a million fella
The slipper ain't gonna fit me
Give my regards to Mr Disney
I'm no Sleeping Beauty
One kiss alone won't do it to me
Hate to be the one to tell ya
But I'm not your Cinderella.

I don't know if I believe in love at first sight
I think it might need just a little more time
To grow and be real.
So keep up the laughter and the ramblin' on
At the stroke of midnight I'm gonna be gone
This ain't a heart you can steal.
Oooh baby you're something
Oooh but I'm ...

Making your life count for Christ

Today I saw the movie Julie & Julia. It was an awesome movie and detailed how an individual can have so many gifts and skills, yet feel so insignificant. Then one day something happens to change that. You find purpose and passion in life.

I can't really say that I'm there yet, but this movie really helped me to see that really nothing happens by accident, and yet we must take initiative to sometimes fulfill the plans and purposes God has in store for us. We can't sit back idle and expect destiny to jump in our laps.

Take today and tomorrow Labor Day to reflect on Christ's labor of love and how special we are in His eyes. He has everything so marvelously worked out if we would only accept...it.

The Joy Movie

The Mission

La Mision

Our Mission

The movie The Mission with Robert DeNiro was brought to my mind today. Watch it, it is a life changing movie, especially the scene of him climbing up the side of a mountain with pounds and pounds of supplies on his back. So oppressing! He takes the heavy load, cuts and lets it fall to the bottom. He continues his climb, looking up and to the place above -- his destination.

I thought about my daily life and how I try to climb to the top so many times with so much baggage. I get focused on the weight instead of the Lord and it's days like today when I'm waiting in a hospital with my 87 year old father who is faced with the threat of cancer, and he's making the nurse laugh and feel better after she's just rolled his vein. "It's ok," he said, "You didn't hurt me." He's told me so many times, that he just doesn't like making anyone "feel bad." It's times like this I see the man God created so beautifully nearly a hundred years ago.

Eac day and each place and person we meet is a mountain. We can address the climb weighted down, or cut the bundle of burdens we carry or think we need, and just simply enjoy the beauty of the mountain climb on our way to the destination and places God wants us to go to carry His love.

As we carry His love, He is faithful to carry us through any situation we find ourselves in.

Take a break and watch this very relaxing and powerful video. It's only a couple of minutes. You DO HAVE TIME!

Today was a “GOD” day!

Today Cinderella Released met Tessa Treu and we became "forever friends." Today my life was changed and blessed because God introduced me to a woman who loves God and radiates His presence.

Tessa's life changed when she gave birth to her first child at age 16. She had to make some choices and changes. She learned what she needed to do to become a good mother and has learned to receive the wonderful gift of grace and love in her life. The Lord has given her big dreams and powerful vision. "Inside Out" is the name of the organization and she is empowering young women.

For more information about this wonderful mission and ministry please visit website http://www.yourinsideout.net. You will be blessed like I was. Please put Tessa, her wonderful husband Joe and their three children Jordan, Olivia and Victoria on your prayer list. I did. It is so "GOD" when you see, feel and hear about what the Lord is doing in our midst.

For support, referrals, and donations you may contact Tessa Treu at tessatreu@yourinsideout.net. Inside Out is a not for profit organization and is supported by Eye of the Storm Ministries, Inc. and Cinderella Released.

Three Friends - Fact, Faith & Feeling

Fact, Faith, and Feeling were walking on the fence together. Fact is God's Word, it says, nothing shall ever separate me from the love of God, my Faith accepts and receives this, and it makes me Feel good.

I am ok as long as I allow "Feeling" to follow "Faith and Fact".

Signs and wonders follow those that believe(have faith in) the fact (truth of God's words). If we are walking on the fence in this manner, we will be steadfast and feel good about our walk.

Picture this scenerio; The three (Fact - Faith - Feeling)turn around and began to follow Feeling . They all three fell off the fence! WHY? We can't follow feeling.

We must follow Fact based on Faith which will eventually produce the right Feeling...

Romans 8:35-39 (The Message)

31-39 So, what do you think? With God on our side like this, how can we lose? If God didn't hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else he wouldn't gladly and freely do for us? And who would dare tangle with God by messing with one of God's chosen? Who would dare even to point a finger? The One who died for us—who was raised to life for us!—is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us. Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ's love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture:

They kill us in cold blood because they hate you.
We're sitting ducks; they pick us off one by one.
None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us. I'm absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God's love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us.

The Coffee Cup

Dear Seed Sower Deb,

You asked about my dad. This morning I'm home with him. His heart is getting weaker and weaker but he is still able to crack a joke.

I always make coffee when he stays home and this morning I took him another cup. Usually I take him a small delicate cup, but this one was heavier. He needs the exercise! Of course he lays down and drinks his coffee because he is weak. I poured him a refill and he said, "This is the height of laziness." He meant, laying in bed drinking coffee.

He keeps asking me if his brain is ok? He's worried about becoming demented. I assure him he's still all there. This has been a serious learning experience being at home with my dad who is 87. I've learned a lot.

He is always thankful for every little thing and rarely complains. One thing I've noticed is that he is able to discern whenever he is anxious about something. He knows and understands whether or not something is a matter that you should get upset about. He says, "my nerves are bad, I get upset over something I shouldn't get upset over."

This reminded me of Phil 4:6 "Be careful (anxious)for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God."

For those of you out there with older parents...appreciate their wisdom....and love their life....that all may go well with you and you will live a long life. Cinderella Released...from ashes to beauty. cinderella.eyeofthestorm@gmail.com
