Revelation 5:12

Good morning!

Revelation 5:12: “Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!”


I've always been taught that the way you end your prayers is, "In Jesus name we pray, Amen." When I heard my pastor talk about this Scripture last week, I decided I wanted to start using this instead. I want to teach my kids this now, so it will be engrained in them. The knowledge that Jesus is the Lamb that was slain for all of our sins. He deserves all the power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!

Check out this sermon from our church. Genesis Metro Church Click on "Latest Message"and if you listen to the end, you'll hear about this Scripture. The mp3 is http://www.genesismetro.org/media/audio/messages/20110717.mp3
Pastor Tim explains so eloquently what Jesus went through for all sinners and what really happened on the Mount of Transfiguration. Very cool!!

Revelation 21: 5

Good evening and Happy New Year!

Revelation 21: 5: Then the One seated on the throne said, "Look! I am making everything new." He also said, "Write, because these words are faithful and true."


For whatever reason, I am looking forward to this new year of 2010 than any other year I can remember. I think the last couple years have been such a blur for me. I was in survival mode, raising newborn, then infant, and now toddler triplets. I now have terrible two's to deal with but for the most part, we've got it down. Three doesn't scare us so much anymore. We just roll with the punches and as a team, Kris and I figure a way to handle things. I don't stress about them as much anymore and life seems to have settled down. Those are scary words to type...I may be jinxing myself here!

So with all of that said, 2010 looms shiny and bright in front of me. The unknown no longer scares me...it's now an exciting surprise! I believe change is gonna come...He is making everything new. His words are faithful and true. Miracles will be plentiful. Blessings will flow freely. Businesses will grow and be fruitful. Ministries will expand like wildfire and what was once a small group will reach worldwide. Love will break down walls and infuse hearts. Passions will increase...wisdom will guide us...favor will flow. New is coming.

What "new" thing are you waiting for? Write it down because His word is faithful and true! Have a safe New Year and I can't wait to start another year of Quick Word's with you. It's such a blessing for me to share with you in this blog and I hope this is only the beginning!

Revelation 21:2-4

Good evening!

Revelation 21:2-4: I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."


I just love the loving, almost romantic tones to this passage. God truly longs to see us, His church, beautifully dressed for Him. I seriously cannot wait for this to be our reality. To be able to dwell, to reside, to exist with God in the Holy City will be the end to all of our problems. No more tears, no more pain, no more death, no more crying. The old way that you are used to will no longer be.

This song describes this passage perfectly and when I listen to it, I can almost see the sky opening up and the new Jerusalem coming down. I can feel the tears being wiped away from my eyes. I am reminded of my eternal home that is awaiting me. I can see my loved ones that I have been separated from for far too long. I am pure and righteous before my God. I live with Him and He lives with me...forever.

"For eternity...all my heart will give...all the glory to Your name."

Revelation 3:20

Good evening! I am late with the Winning Souls Wednesday edition. Better late than never!

Revelation 3:20: Listen! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and have dinner with him, and he with Me.


I don't know if this happens to everyone but it did with me and my husband. I can remember a long time ago hearing my name being called but I was all by myself. I heard it clear as a bell...Allison. Go get your Bible. Unfortunately, I said no. I did not open that door when I heard His voice and subsequently, I went hungry for years after that.

I also remember one night laying in bed and my husband asking me if I had called his name. I was almost asleep...so it wasn't me! He didn't open the door at that time either. But thankfully, Jesus always waits outside that door. Thankfully, we weren't too late.

Did He call your name too? Maybe He is saying something else to you. But because of this Scripture, I believe Jesus is always speaking. But are we always listening?

I love that what He really wants to do is have dinner with you! Intimate...fulfilling...special...fellowship...connection...relationship. All over some good food and drink!

JESUS ROCKS! I hope you open the door and let Him in today. Don't wait so long like Kris and I did. Life is too short...don't let another day get away from you without knowing what it feels like to sit down and dinner with the Savior of the world.

Revelation 5:11-12

Good morning!

Revelation 5:11-12: Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders. In a loud voice they sang:

"Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!"


WARNING: Do not listen to this song in public, unless you don't care about people seeing you crying and making a fool of yourself! :) I challenge you to turn your volume up, get on your knees, stretch your arms up towards the heavens, and sing as loud as you can, just like the angels...and praise the Lamb!

Revelation 4:8

Good morning!

Revelation 4:8: Day and night they never stop saying: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come."


I was writing in my journal yesterday, enjoying the beautiful day outside. A little baby named Stellan was on my mind all day yesterday. He had surgery yesterday on his heart at the fragile age of 5 months old. He pulled through and they believe they did the best they could with what they had to work with. The outcome is favorable. But it got me thinking about the bigger plan for his life. God must have something awesome in store for that little boy. My mind always races with amazement and wonder when I start to imagine all the things God is doing behind the scenes. It got me to write this little poem as it turned out. And I felt like it was to be shared with all of you. I hope you enjoy!

I see glimpses. You see it all.

I can imagine. You are able.

I can only see now. You can see forever and always.

I am limited. You are limitless.

I fail a lot! You fail...never.

I am sand. You are the Rock.

I am lacking. You are the Master Filler.

I fall short. You pick me up and help me keep going.

I am one out of billions. You are the Alpha and Omega.

My life is but a blink of an eye. You are Everlasting.

I am desperate for you. While I was still sinning, You loved me and died for me.

All I have to give is my heart. You gladly took my heart and perfectly fixed it.

Ugliness was who I used to be. Brilliantly beautiful is my name now.

Eternally beautiful. Daughter of God. Redeemed and Liberated. Servant of all.

I am loved!
