Transformation, Devotion, Establishment

Remember the in 2010  the theme for SEALS was Grass Roots grow into Tall Shoots.. In 2012 SEALS theme was Arise and Shine.  In retrospective the SEAC Women's Ministry will have their first Women's Retreat this coming weekend.  May we all continue to uplift one another in authenticity, affirmation and devotion as we come before the Lord with unveiled faces. 

Transformation

2 Corinthians 3
 17.  Nww the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom.  
18.  And we who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into His likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.  


Devotion

Jeremiah 30
21. "Their leader will be one of their own;their ruler will arise from among them.  I will bring him near and he will come close to me, for who is he who will devote himself to be close to me?" declares the Lord.
22.  "So you will be my people, and I will be your God."  

Esatblishment

Psalms 90
1.  Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations.  
2.  Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.

12.  Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
13.  Relent, O Lord! How long will it be?  Have compassion on your servants.  
14.  Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days. 
15.  Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen trouble.  
16.  May your deeds be shown to your servants, your splendor to their children.  
17.  May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us, establish the work of our hands for us-yes, establish the work of our hands.

Inside Out

He is working in us on a daily basis, even when we are not in tip top shape.  This was Paul's hope, prayer, and encouragement to the leaders, forerunners, and churches:   Therefore do not loose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, though inwardly we are being renewed day by day.  For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. -2 Corinthians 4:16-17 (NIV) He continually works from the inside out. May our mind be set towards kingdom thinking; may this be our prayer this week. Let our prayers humble us as we continue to serve our churches, communities, work place, friends, family, PEOPLE that dwell with us.  He truly gives when we are opened to receiving.

Glowing with Joy

May the glow of the fire in your eyes be like the glow of joy in your hearth, May the warmth of your hearth overflow  like the love that overflows from your hearth.   It's almost Valentine's Day...most of us look at Valentines Day and think about the curse of the western stigmas of "love".  Red ruffled heart shaped pillows with white embroidery, conversation heart candy, chocolate, teddy bears, and flowers. BUT....Honestly, when we are receivers of these gifts and happenings...it feels so good.  The feeling of so much happiness and love, the simplicity of how love does.  A kind of love that brings us great joy from connections with that person that was so willing to give.  That joy and love captivates us.   For much of our population Valentine's Day draws out quite a skeptical and quite jealous, prideful, hurt filled heart, filled with pain, pity, sorrow, sadness, anger, and  a feeling of overwhelmed consumerism and materialism. ...

SEALS 2017 Morning Meditation - Listening Prayer thru Art

Matthew Geppert from Southeast Asian Prayer Center (SEACP) challenged conferees to take a moment to reflect and listen regarding our Identity.  The   continual  encouragement was to  remember  and minister to ourselves this message.   And  when we are struggling most to  remember it and profess it outwardly during those hardships. We repeated in response: “I AM WHO I AM  MADE BY THE I AM WHO  SAYS WHO I AM.” This morning create a time and space for listening prayer.   Perhaps the Lord may offer an adjective to describe the season, provide an affirmation, a new name, a vision, or an image.   After listening, perhaps draw, sketch, paint, or color the provided word.   It can become a process that will reveal a lesson, bring healing, and/or bring clarity. Creative methods and strategies with new tools may have its struggles and uncover an emotional or spiritual ep...
