LORD, touch my dry bones.

Have you ever looked in the mirror and said, “I’m getting old”?

Well each year the economy seems to take a dive, whether it’s the car industry or wall street, the American people seem to feel the impact. But there is one business that through out the years continue to boom and thrive, It’s the Beauty business.

They will sell you five lipsticks of the same color, promising that each one will do something completely different. You know sometimes we live our lives like that. We set up a buffet of what will bring us pleasure, comfort, and joy, and leave out change.

As we age, we can become more indifferent, rigid, less likely to believe; even when we say we do, and it begins to wear on us physically.

Now we know genetics play a part in how we age, but I like to think that when we became joint heirs with Christ Jesus, the natural aging process is no longer a factor in how we mature both physically and spiritually.

As Women, we care an awful lot about our appearances as we should, but over compensating is just obvious when you have fire engine red hair, and bronzed skin. I’m not making a joke, I’m being serious. We care more about creative expression, than creating authenticity.

It is said, you can tell a lot about a person by how they dress, but you can tell a lot about a person in just about everything that they do, that don’t line up with the natural aging process; both spiritually, and naturally.

Paul Said,
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 1 Corinthians 13:11

I’m not saying that we adorn ourselves with what they wore in 1950’s, I’m saying be authentic, and true to the natural maturity process for you, both physically, and spiritually; even how we relate to our counterparts.

Women of a certain maturity need to be more of an example for the young Christian women that are coming up in this wicked generation. They need to be encouraging, affirming, supportive, and directive. It’s obvious when you behave like a bitter, jealous, envious, hopeless, and loveless woman of GOD. Your bones are dry, and they need to be refreshed by authenticity.

Just like the Samaritan woman, in John 4, who was looking in the natural, regarding Jesus not having anything to draw the water for him, so are you, looking at the young women in the LORD.

We all can learn something from someone, so you can draw from their tenacity, their untainted wisdom, their hope, their passion, and life to resurrect your dry bones. GOD is not pleased, and he is not fooled.

Just as it is so, the younger women should take heed to the instructions, and examples of women endowed with the heart of a mother, and the love of GOD to bring honor, and truth to their own lives.

You can be broken, and a mess, and still give GOD’s best if you have genuine love on the inside of you.

I thank the LORD for all the Naomi’s in the world, for I have known three in my life, and I thank the LORD for the Ruth’s that have went on to marry their Boaz to bring forth a Greater Purpose.

Intimacy with GOD in 2014, will convict the hearts of those that have dry bones, so they too can live, and live life more Abundantly.

Ezekiel 37:4
Then he said to me, "Prophesy to these bones and say to them, 'Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD!

True Intimacy with GOD in 2014, will separate the world from the church.

Have you ever wondered why you gravitate to certain people more than others or you have a better time when your with a particular person?

It's because we are spiritual beings, that are made up of flesh and blood. Our natural state is just really a facade masking who we really.

That’s why you can meet the man or woman of your dreams, and in six months to a year, he or she is your worst nightmare.

I've never been one to get hung up on appearances, and I always gravitate to the underdog. The person that has all the potential, but no confidence. They have a great heart, but no one to love, or love them. They are sincere, and genuine in all that they do; even the mistakes they make are done out of ignorance. I just love being around people like that, because they're unique. They are capable of change if it's presented to them, and they will endure the process .

If you walk by the Spirit and not by sight you will see them, but if you're one of those people that are more concerned about people looking the part than actually being IT, then you're going to miss out on God's Best for you.

1 Samuel 16:7 Message Bible
But God told Samuel, “Looks aren’t everything. Don’t be impressed with his looks and stature. I’ve already eliminated him. God judges persons differently than humans do. Men and women look at the face; God looks into the heart.”

The WORD will you teach things about people, and life situations that you never knew, so Read it, and Study it. It will protect you from wolves in sheep clothing, and foes pretending to be friends, haters, that are so bitter, and disappointed with the life they've wasted, that it’s impossible for them to ever celebrate yours; and last but not least, the spectators, that are too afraid to fight the good fight, and condemn you for it.

You have to stop trying to fit in the clicks of society, even in the church .You are a misplaced puzzle piece that have found it hard to fit in anywhere. Even when you try to pretend to be down with the WORLD, your uncomfortable.

GOD did not call KINGS, and QUEENS, he called Prostitutes, and mere Fishermen to do the work, and bring the people to him.

Stop trying to get along with everyone, they don’t like you, because GOD loves you. They overlook, and underestimate you, because GOD anointed you, and blessed you!

We are the peculiar among the peculiar, because we understand who we are, and we’re not asking for forgiveness because of it.

1 Peter 2 Message Bible
9-10 But you are the ones chosen by God, chosen for the high calling of priestly work, chosen to be a holy people, God’s instruments to do his work and speak out for him, to tell others of the night-and-day difference he made for you—from nothing to something, from rejected to accepted.

The truth is we can not get along, because some are still struggling with the flesh, and some are living with one foot in the world, and one in the Kingdom; while others are living in the light.

True Intimacy with GOD in 2014, will separate the world from the church.

Jesus said,
18. “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. John 15 NIV
