unchanging

For those in darkness, for those in dispair. For those in the valley, for those in the pit. For everyone who's searching for answers: Know that the GOD who stood before time, the One who knew every day of your life, the Star Breather, the Matchless One, He has always been and He is never changing...

"Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows." James 1:17 NIV


Not one earth-shattering thing that we go through shakes his Kingdom, or rattles His throne. He IS the answer when we can't find any. He is the Rock that is not shaken by earth's circumstance. He stood before creation and His throne will know no end.

From the beginning of creation through eternity, He remains the same.

In tragedy or victory His cross triumphs, proclaiming His unending Love.

“My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,' says the Lord.
And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.' " Is 55:8 NLT

For at the Cross - the darkest hour of creation where God took on the sins of the world - becoming sin for us, being cursed that we might be blessed - there, in that darkness, that hopelessness, God's eternal love was shown to us once and for all. Mercy triumphed over judgement and Life triumphed over the grave, proclaiming that everything in Heaven and on the earth has been placed under His feet - even death lost it's power.

"But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.
By oppression and judgment he was taken away. And who can speak of his descendants? For he was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people he was stricken.
He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death, though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it was the LORD's will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the LORD makes his life a guilt offering, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the LORD will prosper in his hand. After the suffering of his soul, he will see the light of life and be satisfied; by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities. Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, and he will divide the spoils with the strong, because he poured out his life unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors. For he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors." Is 53:5-12 NIV

Everything He (God) does is out of Love for he cannot separate Himself from it - for He IS Love.
This God is bigger than our imagination - indescribable.

"For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. " Jer 29:11 NLT

That God stands through tragedy.
That God heals the untouchable
That God speaks judgement and Love in one.
That God sees our deepest needs.
That God is alive and well and REAL to all who call on His Name.

"You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."
Jer 29:13 NIV

"O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you,my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands. " Psalm 63:1-4

“No pit is so deep that the love of God is not deeper still" - Corey Ten Boom

If my God has gone so far as to conquer death,
than He has certainly put everything else under His feet.

"...Death has been swallowed up in victory.
Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?
The sting of death is sin,
and the power of sin is the law.
But thanks be to God!
He gives us the victory
through our Lord Jesus Christ" 1 cor 15:54b-57 NIV


"I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that
you may know the hope to which he has called you,
the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.
And God placed all things under his feet
and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way." Eph 1:18-23 NIV

going after something....

Think about the power of a group of believers coming together and "going after Jesus"
Church and our Christian gatherings can so easily become a social club - so easily be about me and mine rather than Him.
When we come to worship, if we would literally throw ourselves away and truly embrace him, we and the people around us would be changed...
When one person seeks Him He promises He will come - imagine a whole group of people going after Him. He's going to show up! And, He will do what only He can do - Jesus is the only one who is going to change people. So, if we truly want people;s lives changed we need to forget about ourselves and go wholeheartedly after Jesus - that's where we'll be healed and transformed. That's where people will find freedom - that's where we will all come alive.


"You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." Jer 29:13


"If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?" Exodus 33:15-16
