Declaration of the Day

I think there is a battle going on in the universe.  A battle for our very lives.  Our soul.  Satan is the ruler of this age.  Ultimately , God is in control. However, he has given me free will.  Well, today I choose LIFE.  I feel a battle raging...  I have to declare to the principalities and powers of this age that; according to Isaiah 12:2-6
  God is now my salvation; I will truat and not dread; For Jah Jehovah is my strength and song.  And He has become my salvation. Therefore, I will draw water with rejoicing from the springs of salvation. And I will say in that day, give thanks to Jehovah; call upon His name! Make His deeds known among the peoples; Remind them that His name is exalted.  Sing psalms to Jehovah, for He has done something majestic! Let it be made known in all the earth! Cry out and give a ringing shout, O inhabitant of Zion, for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel. 
Amen

Enjoying the Lord

Well, I just returned from a conference in Jax, Florida.  The conference was on The Living of a Believer Who Enjoys the Lord in the Body of Christ for the Fulfillment of God's Eternal Purpose.   Wow,  what a title.  How to even explain all that was contained in these messages is beyond my ability.  For now, I am going to share where I am in reviewing what I heard and learned. 
  I heard that God has a purpose.  There is a reason we were born/created.  He wants us,  a group of individuals who form the body of Christ to enjoy Him.  He created us with a need for pleasure.  God Himself has a need for pleasure.  His pleasure is to dispense Himself into us.  When we allow Christ to be dispensed into us and for His life to spread through us, we are pleasing to Him.  When I turn to the Lord and call on His name,  I open to His dispensing and I can enjoy Him.  The first phrase I am musing on is this:  the secret to the Christian life is how much we enjoy God.
