My Heart Is Full. Is Yours?

Posted on by

Today is a day that I’ve been anticipating for a good 2 plus years. Today my heart is full. Today I hand over a message that is so near and dear to my heart. The fullness is almost threatened though.

What if people don’t get it?

What if people think I’m crazy?

What if I didn’t do this message justice?

Again. I’m full of I and me and myself. Oh Jesus, thank you for the grace when I allow myself to get in the way.

Today He makes my heart full. Oh how I know He will make your heart full, too!

Several years ago I had an encounter with Jesus which started me on a personal RISE UP! journey. I read Psalm 145 and I don’t want to miss out. I want to circle my very existence around the fame of Jesus and not the striving for my own agenda, my own way. Because He is worthy of our all out pouring out. Do you read this Scripture and feel the same way, too? I hope so!

One generation shall commend your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts. (Psalm 145: 4)

Let’s be that generation. Let’s choose right now that our life is ministry and we make Jesus famous when we live boldly and with servant love.

Today Just RISE UP! officially releases. This is me asking you to join in. Will you help me spread the word? Will you be a part of the movement? You don’t have to be qualified. You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to be ready to say…He IS WORTHY.

Just RISE UP! Cover

Just RISE UP! is not for those of us who have it all together and live a perfect faith. It is not for those who already have the Bible figured out to the letter. If you are a woman who loves Jesus (even if you’ve only known Him for five minutes) and craves something bigger than yourself, then Just RISE UP! is for you. If you need a breakthrough in faith, Just RISE UP! is for you. And if you think it’s thrilling (maybe even a bit frightening) to contemplate a big, bold belief in the King of kings, then once again, Just RISE UP! is for you.

I will challenge and encourage you to journal through the Bible study questions and prayer prompts. No need for a fancy journal. I just use a cheap old composition notebook!

Above All Else Weekend Declaration

Posted on by

Through this 21 Day Feast on the fame of Jesus we have soaked in Scripture verse by verse. Today, let us put it all together and read the entire passage of Psalm 145. Will you praise Him in the quiet of the weekend morning or during the beauty of the evening sunset?

May our lips never stop speaking in worship…

May our hands always lift toward heaven offering a sacrifice of praise…

May our feet walk out the Word with reverence and fear…

May our hearts beat for the purpose of God alone…

May we move forward in bold faith and servant love always…

Because HE is worthy.

Press In, Pour Out, Pour Forth

1 I will lift my praise above everything to You, my God and King!
I will continually bless Your name forever and always.
2 My praise will never cease—
I will praise You every day;
I will lift up Your name forever.
3 The Eternal is great and deserves endless praise;
His greatness knows no limit, recognizes no boundary.
No one can measure or comprehend His magnificence.

4 One generation after another will celebrate Your great works;
they will pass on the story of Your powerful acts to their children.
5 Your majesty and glorious splendorhave captivated me;
I will meditate on Your wonders,sing songs of Your worth.
6 We confess—there is nothing greater than You, God, nothing mightier than Your awesome works.
I will tell of Your greatness as long as I have breath.
7 The news of Your rich goodness is no secret—
Your people love to recall it
and sing songs of joy to celebrateYour righteousness.

8 The Eternal is gracious.
He shows mercy to His people.
For Him anger does not come easily, but faithful love does—and it is rich and abundant.
9 But the Eternal’s goodness is not exclusive—it is offered freely to all.
His mercy extends to all His creation.

10 All creation will stand in awe of You,O Eternal One.
Thanks will pour from the mouths of every one of Your creatures;
Your holy people will bless You.
11 They will not be silent; they will talk of the grandeur of Your kingdom
and celebrate the wonder of Your power
12 Until everyone on earth who has ears to hear knows Your valiant acts
and the splendor of Your kingdom.
13 Your kingdom will never end;
Your rule will endure forever.

[You are faithful to Your promise,
and Your acts are marked with grace.]
14 The Eternal sustains all who stumble on their way.
For those who are broken down,God is near. He raises them up in hope.
15 All eyes have turned toward You,waiting in expectation;
when they are hungry, You feed them right on time.
16 The desires of every living thing
are met by Your open hand.
17 The Eternal is right in all His ways,
and He is kind in all His acts.
18 The Eternal stays close to those who call on Him,
those who pray sincerely.
19 All of you who revere Him—
God will satisfy your desires.
He hears the cries for help, and He brings salvation.
20 All of you who love God—
He will watch out for you,
but total destruction is around the corner for all the wicked.

21 My lips will sing the praise of the Eternal.
Let every creature join me and praise the holy name of God—forever and always! (Psalm 145 THE VOICE)
