Personal Witness

His Witness

From the very first day, we were there, taking it all in – we heard it with our own ears, saw it with our own eyes, verified it with our own hands. The Word of Life appeared right before our eyes; we saw it happen!

And now we’re telling you in most sober prose that what we witnessed was, incredibly this: The Infinite Life of God Himself took shape before us. - I John 1:1,2 - The Message Bible

You don’t have to imagine what it was like for the Disciples of Old when they first saw, touched and heard the Lord Jesus Christ . Oh, how marvelously marvelous it must have been to be a personal witness of His divine presence and indescribable essence.

Oh, my precious Sister, you do not have to imagine at all.

You can know Him. He is here right now with arms wide open, waiting to pull you into Himself and shower you with a love worth knowing!

Yes, you can know the absolute joy of being intimate with the Lover of your soul!

How?

It’s really very simple: Just call His name: Jesus. And then say, “I want to know you.” And He’ll be there. He will make Himself known to Precious You. He’s not complicated, and He is always available; always waiting, expecting you to come around to Him and partake of His unending love. Ask, my sister. Truly, He is just a prayer away. Then you, too, will know the same joy as the Disciples of Old. And you too, will be His Personal Witness.

Blessings and Great Grace . . .

Good morning, my Precious & Darling Papa . . .

Sweet, sweet greetings to Amazingly Amazing You!

I have only one question for you right now, Heavenly Father, and that is:

Has anyone told Wonderful You just how much he/she loves you today?

Well, if not, please let me be the one. I love you so much, Daddy. Honestly, I do.

Words are not able to express the depth, the height, the length or the width of the personal love and gratitude that I have for You, my Darling Lord & Savior. Again, I want to say, I love Beautiful You soooooo much!

And I want You to know, Mi Papacito, Lover of my soul and the Only One Qualified to make me whole, that I am everything I am . . . because You love me.

Yes, Magnificent One, I am everything that I am . . . because You completely and unconditionally, outrageously and eternally . . . love me!

SO THANKFUL

Thursday, February 7th, 2008

Hello Ambassadors . . .


Sweet, sweet greetings to Phenomenal You in the Precious Name of our Darling Lord & Savior.

My heart is so full today. It is so completely full and running over. And I have to shout it on the roof top, and declare it to the whole world that I am utterly enthralled and enraptured with the God of my Salvation!

I truly love Him so.

When I sense His Presence filling up my room and walking towards me, hovering over me, then pouring in me, well, something indescribable sweeps over me and through me so much so . . . that my soul quakes at the splendors of His visitation.

Like Isaiah, I feel undone. And my heart gallops like a thoroughbred in the heat of his final race.

I am shaking, quaking.

He touches me with a touch that assures me. Then He softly calls my name. And the quaking ceases. Peace, sweet, sweet peace envelops me.

He calls my name again and gently, lovingly says, “I love you.”

And suddenly tears, uncontrollable tears, swell in my heart and overflow in my eyes.


“You are the one for me. I chose you. You did not choose me. I chose you and have made you My holy habitation. We are one. I in you and you in Me. We are One. You are mine forever and I am yours forevermore. I will never leave you, My forever-love.”


The weight of His words and the reality of Who He truly is, well, it grips me. Overwhelms me. Floors me. I can’t move. I can’t speak.

I can only cry profusely.

But He understands. He hears. He sees.

He knows . . . oh yes, my Darling Lord knows . . . that I am . . .

SO THANKFUL!

~

Selah.

Much Love,
Ora ~

You Gotta Be Hungry!

Friday, February 1st, 2008

Hello Ambassadors!


Sweet, sweet greetings to Phenomenal You!
~

I have one question for you today: Are you hungry?


Before you answer, first, let’s look at some definitions of the word hunger for a minute.

Hunger is defined as:

1. A strong desire for food
2. The discomfort, weakness or pain caused by a lack of food
3. A strong desire or craving

Now, I know we all have had our strong desires for food and we know the discomfort and weakness or pain caused by a lack of food. But what I want to discuss has nothing to do with food. I’m talking about a hunger to want more out of life. I’m talking about a hunger to give birth to your dreams. Oh, yes, I’m talking about a hunger that is not moved by your circumstances or your bank account, or the opinions of man.

I’m talking about a hunger that won’t let you give in or give up. A hunger that says:

I refuse to be refused.
And I deny to be denied!

I’m talking about a hunger that is pertinacious!

Les Brown had a revelation of this kind of hunger. He knew there was greatness in him and that his life was not useless or worthless. He knew he was born for greatness and he refused to die an unlived life. He refused to die with his dreams locked in the womb of his soul.

Listen to this powerful man of God as he speaks on You Gotta Be Hungry!

Blessings and Much Love,

Ora ~
