May I Use This Breath! by Myra Boozer

How beautiful are your ways, oh Lord. Your Glory and your Good Pleasure are such a delight. I learn from the very air I breathe how vast your love is to all mankind and the creatures you have created. You blow upon this earth, and we breathe. Our very Life is from your Breath. It is what sustains all of us!

Lord, may I use this breath you give to sing Praises to your Holy Name, to lift you high above the Mountains that your own breath created? You spoke all things into existence. May my heart rejoice in your Beauty and Splendor for all of my days.

May I use this breath to call upon you in a time to surrender my will to your perfect plan. Accept my heart's cry today, for I am helpless, useless, and utterly lost without your Mercy. I am as one who is groping in the darkness without you.

May I use this breath to tell someone of your great love. Some do not know, or else they have forgotten just how much you love them. May my breath speak your unlimited Love to all people everywhere.

May I use this breath to speak Your Truth to those who should be ashamed, ashamed for turning away from your plan and going after their own “design” for lifestyle and behavior.

May I use this breath to sound the Alarm for all those who are far from you. Some who just gave up and put down their armor. Others who just want to seek out an easy way, still claiming your Name. And yet others who have fallen asleep and do not know the times in which we live. As in the days of Noah, they see the conditions yet deny the judgment coming on all who sin.

May I use this breath to speak Hope to the hopeless and Life to the dying, Peace to the restless, and Joy to the sorrowful. May my words be uplifting and encouraging as I speak of your soon return for your Bride, Your Church, Your People, Your Chosen Ones.

May I use this breath to speak of your great treasures...the ones you have hidden in your Word...the hidden riches of secret places...that they may know that you are the Lord God of Israel....Amen and Amen… May I Use This Breath! 

Breath Of Heaven Breathe On Us!

It was a hot summer morning in mid-August in the South. It was a typical day for the season, high humidity with little to no wind. I went about my business without really giving attention to these details, but that was about to change.

I stood in quiet solitude and listened to the leaves of the tree as they began to stir to a slight breeze. It was as though they were individual instruments in a grand symphony, the pitch and tempo rising and falling but in perfect harmony, each separate but still in sync.

The wind was slight at first, barely noticeable except for the song the leaves sang. I began to feel the cool wind as it caressed my face and hair. The sensation grew in intensity! The wind blew stronger and then subsided. It came in pulsating bursts, strong enough to take the hat from my head, and then at rest.

I observed and felt this scenario repeated for several moments. And then, a voice spoke into my spirit, “a rushing mighty wind.” Yes, Lord, I know it is You, and I hear what You are saying! Our Lord, Jesus Christ, wants to reveal Himself through the Holy Spirit to change our world. His desire is to fill you and me with the Holy Spirit, endue us with power (His Power) from on high, and turn our world upside down. He wants the world to see and acknowledge His presence in us. Breath Of God, Breathe On Us one more time! (continued)

(I wrote this some time ago, but it is still relevant today to where we are as a people.) 

My Life Is In Your Hands! by Myra Boozer

Psalms 62:5, “My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him. 6 He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved. 7 In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. 8 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.”

Lord, my life is in your hands. My tears are in your bottle. All my days have been written in your Book.

Lord, my life is in your hands. I will not be overwhelmed by the terror by night nor the arrow that flies by day. Because you love me, I will come when you call.

I will wait until you come, and I will rejoice in your mercy. All I will ever need is found in you, Lord. May I always be listening for your voice. My Life is in your hands.

James 5:7, “Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receiveth the early and latter rain. 8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.” 

He Restores My Soul!

Psalm 23:1, “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.”

God is enough for anyone who puts their full trust in Him. The writer of this passage knew that very well. Speaking from the perspective of someone who spent his youth with sheep, David knew the attributes of a good shepherd and drew the comparison to his relationship with God.

David had learned that God would provide all that he needed in life. But more than that, he knew that God would lead him in the direction that best pleased Him for His honor and His glory. He also knew that God would be with him every step of the way, though he had to travel through the enemy’s camp. God’s anointing would be sufficient for all his days, and in the end, he would dwell in the presence of God forever.

Jesus Christ is enough for us today if we will put our full trust in Him. He will provide all that we will ever need in this life. He will do that for His name's sake! We carry His Name as followers of Christ. It is His reputation that He will defend and protect. In the presence of our enemies, He will raise up His Standard. We will walk in His anointing all our days and in the end rest in His presence forever.

How can anyone pass up this glorious opportunity? How can we neglect such an awesome invitation? He Restores My Soul! 

God Knows The Best Way! by Myra Boozer

A few years ago, our two granddaughters were playing so sweetly together. All of a sudden, I heard a cry that shouldn't have been part of their playtime. Then I heard the youngest say to her sister, “You're being rude because you won't let me do what I WANT to do.” This really got my attention. How childish, but then again, she was only 6 years old.

Even as adults, we sometimes feel this way toward God. We may even say, "God, this is just not fair." We think He is not being a good Father when He doesn't give us what we WANT. Well, we are wrong! He knows what is best for His Children, and He will do what is best. But there may come a time when we refuse to do what is right, and He will let us go our own way and do what we want to do.

Now, that is a scary place to be, and we don't want to stay there very long. When we choose to walk away, then we must choose to go back where we left God, repent with tears, and do things His way. He is not going to come and say, "Child, I was wrong, do what you want, and everything is okay."

God will help us any time. He loves us, but we must go His way, not ours. "Can two walk together except they be agreed?" Amos 3:3. Are you asking God to go your way, or are you going His way?

When we walk with the Lord, we learn so much about His character. We learn about His loving patience and His unending mercy. But we also learn about His boundaries and His laws. He is not a pushover, and He is not one to allow us to live reckless and ungodly lives. He is strict with His requirements of righteous living. He will discipline us and sometimes correct us with a strong hand. But walking hand in hand with Jesus will lead us right into Heaven. That is the place we all want to live when this life is over. God Knows The Best Way to get there! 

God Knows The Way We Should Take!

Job 23:10, “But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. 11 My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined. 12 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.”

As I observe the behavior of the world around me, there seems to be a mad dash of lost humanity into their eternal destiny without regard for the preservation of their eternal souls. Life is precious and a gift from God. No one has the right to take away that gift!

We are living in an era when people support the killing of innocent children in the womb and then are horrified when someone takes a gun to school and massacres those innocent lives. Our world has created an atmosphere in which reverence for life has been greatly diminished for some, and for others, it is destroyed altogether. The weight is heavy upon us to sound the alarm and awaken lost humanity to the consequences of our apathy in this arena of life. We cannot attach value to life in one instance while devaluing life in another! We are reaping the result of our inconsistencies.

It is time to take a stand! As disciples of Jesus Christ, we must proclaim the call of God to come back to the principles of His Word. The path before us is unknown; however, the way ahead is not uncharted territory. We have never been this way before, but we can proceed with full assurance that God knows where we are going. 

God has something to say and a work to perform in this generation! If we have covenanted to walk with Him, we are going where He is going. God has gone before us and created our map in the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the Way! John 14:6, “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” If we follow Him, He will lead us in His path. He knows the way we should take!

There is no need to flounder in a climate of indecision when the answer is with us. Let us not be deterred by the uncertainties that lie before us, but concern ourselves with the cause of Jesus Christ. He loves each and every person and has placed great value on each soul by giving His own life to bring life to the lifeless. We may not know the specifics of our future, but we can be sure that if our faith is in the saving grace of the cross, we will finish well! God Knows The Way We Should Take! 

Lion Of Judah, Roar! by Myra Boozer

Joel 3:16, "The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heaven and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel."

Lion of Judah, roar against our enemies...

Those who rise up against righteousness…

The enemies who raise their ugly heads against your people, God...Those who mock and scorn the Name of Jesus...Those who continue to call good evil and evil good.

Roar with a great sound that every enemy will tremble and fall on their face in repentance.

Roar against the addictions of drugs, alcohol, and sex.

Roar against cancer that has no respect of person, young or old, rich or poor.

Roar against this world of deception and lies that many of the youth are falling for.

Roar against the parents who neglect and abuse their precious babies and children.

Roar against sexual sins, all of them, including adultery, fornication, homosexuality, pornography, sex trade, prostitution, and pedophilia.

Roar, Lord, in the face of the cold-hearted employers who put unfair expectations on their employees.

Roar against those who declare that abortion should be acceptable and legal, saying that the babies they carry inside their bodies have no value.

Roar, Lord, against the evil that has risen up to take the lives of our school children.

Roar, Lord, against the preacher who no longer preaches the Truth to his congregation.

Roar against those who take possession of things that do not belong to them.

Roar against those leaders of our country who promote and partake in sinful deeds in any measure.

Roar against the people who bear your Name and live ungodly lives.

Roar against those who have made a covenant in marriage and are unfaithful to their spouse...Lion Of Judah! Roar! (Taken partially from TSC Prayer Service)
