I heard it said that God doesnt exalt His voice. Everyone in the world was waiting for an exalted voice. The stars dont make a sound but night after night the bible sais they sing. Creation sings of this great God. But He doesnt exalt His voice, He doesnt have to, He knows He's God. He knoews who He is. As the youngest of four I was always lifting up my voice because I was insecure wanted to be heard just like this fallen world exalts its voice to hide whats inside.
when the word of God came into the earth He came in a manger in the back country somewhere, a still small voice. The People were waiting for an exalted voice and they asked "Is this not Jesus, the carpenters son?", and many didnt hear Him. But the sound of The Lord has gone out over the earth and the humble and meek will hear it and rejoice and lift up there heads.
Are you still waiting for an exalted voice?
The Lord declares His love over His children every morning and rejoices over them with singing. A still small voice finds its home in a gentle heart.
Psalm 131
To him who has ears to hear, let him hear.

people for sale
this has really been on my heart recently, this issue about being for sale. I was day dreaming the other day about what God's plans may be for some people and I was day dreaming about some certain young people and what God may want for there lives. I dreamt of things like taking care of orphanes and things like this. Then I started to think about these people and wondered if they would be bought, what I mean is; what if the right man or woman comes along or they get involved in being popular and the desire to be accepted and they never find out what God's plan for there life was? It just breaks my heart to think of. I mean how cheap.
Can the world purchase you? How about if it offers you the right carreer? the one youv always wanted? What about for the American dream?
In the process of coming to Jesus I was given 2 dreams in one night, they are in the order as follows:
The first dream started with me laying in bed and I had just woke up. I looked at myself and my body was almost in perfect shape. I also had brand new really nice tattoos. I got out of bed and I had lots of freinds in this very nice house and people were calling me and they were inviting me to parties. Then the dream ended.
This dream represented all i wanted in life before getting saved: tattoos, physically fit, freinds, popularity etc.
Then I had this second dream: In this dream i was being escorted around an orphanage that was also a home for sick kids by a middle aged woman who took me room to room. Finally we came to a closed door and before she opened it the lady turned to me and said "be careful how you act, in this room is a young girl who is dying." When the door opened I saw a small girl with straight brown hair, maybe 7 or 8 sitting on her bed. When she saw us come in I could tell by the look on her face that she was constantly treated by people as a dying person and she was nervous of visitors. I said to myself in my heart "Im going to show her Jesus", so I gave her the biggest smile and when I did she looked suprised for a minute but i felt the love of God enter the room.
Then I woke up
That night my heart made a choice. Behold two dreams; mine..........and God's.
Can you be bought?
Lord Jesus I pray right now for every heart that is struggling to lay down there old life, I pray for every person wondering why they are here that you would visit them with your dreams O God and invade this generation with your plans. God I pray right now for a sold out people, a people so desperatley after your heart that all the fleeting pleasures of this world are seen as garbage compared to knowing you Jesus.

a world full of misplaced desires....and a dream in Gods heart
I have a Friend who wrote a song and one of the lyrics was "turn these abstract desires into something beautiful". Especially this time of year we see people overrun with so many desires. Its a never ending parade of greed and indulgence that doesn't allow the human soul any peace. We have so many desires inside of our soul that we cant seem to discifer or sort out in any way. they overtake us and cause us to fall into so many pains and hurts. How many scars are on our hearts and bodies from the our various longings.
I was looking in the word and I was amazed at how God took the desires and dreams of a man named Abraham, God took his simple normal, human desire for a child, for a son to carry on his name and God took it farther than Abraham could ever imagine. God said, "Abraham look at these stars. So shall be your descendants." from Abraham's simple desire for a child came Gods people, His Holy nation, His royal priesthood, His special possession and a blessing to all the earth.
Then I read about Hannah in the book of Samuel. How she to wanted a child and how God used that desire and her prayer to do something so much bigger than what she prayed for or desired. God used this woman's simple desire for a child and raised up for Himself a faithful priest in the land and a prophet who would anoint David the king who would prepare a line for Jesus in the earth, the saviour of us all.
Is it that God also shares with us in our simple desires? could it be that our desire for children was actually Gods desire that He placed in us? could it be hidden in our hearts are the desires of Gods heart and that they have just been misplaced by the world? Could it be that our simplest desires could hold amazing spiritual potential?
So many people with so many misplaced desires destroying there lives. Let us come to God with our desires and lay them at His feet.
"Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we could ever ask or think"
Your desires that may have been used to cause you to sin or be hurt could be the very seed of God in the earth. After God cleans up those desires and sanctifies them they could be the very seed of HIS desire coming to pass in the earth.

hidden wisdom
I love it. I was looking at a Friends photo blog recently and I just started to get revelation. I had been meditating on 1 Corinthians 2 about the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages, the chapters all about the hidden wisdom that is only discerned by those with the Spirit. I started to realize how art allows us to see past the ordinary and allows you to see the hidden wisdom all around us. Like Jesus spoke of the wisdom of a simple common flower that had more beauty than king Solomon in all his glory.
The words of Jesus were brought to my mind about the lamp of the body filling the whole body with light and how the lamp is the eye to the body. So our perspective is what fills us with light, like Paul prayed that the eyes of there understanding be enlightened. Wisdom is perspective, walking in the Spirit of truth and letting Him bath us in revelation of God. Its amazing how that hidden wisdom is everywhere and how God teaches us the ways of His Kingdom which we cant see with the things that we can see. There are parables all around us.
Then I started to think the greatest parable, the greatest revelation of GOd is us, its humans, we carry the image of God, but its also the hardest thing for us to do sometimes is to see God in each other. As the scales fall off my eyes and my heart becomes more pure I am beginning to see Christ everywhere. Its such an adventure pursuing God while He pursues me.
May God give us more of this wisdom from above which is like the snow.....first pure.....then peaceable......gentle......

priceless
you know what the amazing thing is about someone who is crucified to this world? He cant be bought. Nobody could buy Jesus, they couldn't make Him king He didn't want it, they couldn't manipulate Him to teach what they wanted, He didn't compromise His message to please the Political or the religious. Even in Gethsemane He resisted the temptations of the devil and submitted to God.
I don't want to be bought by this world, I don't want to be purchased by the religious system or the political systems of man pleasing. This world is crucified to me and I to the world. It had to be this way, it has to be this way to follow Jesus
Here lies Louis....finally free

If I had wings like a dove Id fly away and be at rest
Id fly behind the veil into the desert
I can hear something I havnt heard in a long time
I can feel a breeze that takes me back to eternity
sending a simple sighn on uneven times
a new frame to fly out of
I can hear it if I strain my ear its just behind me
A still song flying over these mountains to meet me
I had this vision as I was worshipping at a meeting once, I saw the most beautiful mountains covered in lush green trees and jungles, I saw rolling, perfectly green hills but what was far more beautifull was what I did not see. In this vision the song of the Lord was rolling over the mountains and hills. The Spirit was saying to me through this that His song would be with me, no matter the mountain or hill.
So I say to you Jesus:
"Make haste my beloved,
and be like a gazelle
or a young stag
on the mountain of spices."
I can hear it......I can hear him coming.......
