Abba's Heart

    What is Abba’s heart? in John 14:5, Yeshua says “He who has seen Me has seen the Father.” We can say what Yeshua did on this earth was part of Abba's heart. Yeshua teached, healed, corrected, and loved us. Then when Yeshua returned He sent us a helper, a part of Abba to do the same things He did. By having an intimate fellowship just like He did with Abba. In the first part of the song, it talks about Yeshua helping us then it talks about us helping one another. Todah Abba for your love for us and in bringing back the fellowship we once had in you.

Matt 10:20 "For it is not you who speak, but it is the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you."

Luke 24:49"And behold, I am sending forth the promise of My Father upon you; but you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.”

John 4:23 "But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers."

John 5:19 Therefore Jesus answered and was saying to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner."

This is the day
Can you see the glory of our God
This is the year
It's the year of the favor of the Lord

"it's red!"

Looking for a house is not as fun as people think. People are trying to sell you their bag of goods while the bank tries to convince you to to get a larger loan. It is disheartening especially when a luxury car is worth more than what you can afford but I came prepared. I had taken first time home buyers classes and talked to a loan specialist. He was impressed at what I knew and I would not let him approve me past my budget. This is a very serious investment not to take lightly but I'm also letting Abba handle it. Abba knows what we need even before we ask.
Back in May 1997, I started talking to my mom about getting my own car after I graduate in June and go full time at work. I was set on getting a Geo Tracker. She was talking to me about God helping me get a car. I said "yea your right He can, but it can't be red." She said "accept what he gives you." I said "yea but it still can't be red" A few days later, driving home Yeshua says "so what if it is red?"grumbling under my breath I said "I guess I'll have to accept it if it is red." I went to many dealerships and they pretty much laughed at me. Saying you can't get one unless its new. I couldn't afford a new one. I told my mom what they said and she said "come down with me where I got my car." She wouldn't take no for an answer. I went and the sales person explained they are very hard to get because the owners don't give them up, we sell them as fast as they come in. He tried to sell me another car but my heart was set on a Tracker. A week later my mom says let's go back and see what they have. I didn't want to go but knew I should go and honor her. When we arrived, the same sales person ran out of the building waving his hands telling us one just came in on the truck. It was in the car wash getting ready to be detailed, marked & tagged. I was so excited. I asked the color and he said maroon. They brought it out and the first thing I said was "it's red!" it looked exactly like the color of my fire truck when the sun hit it. The Tracker came from Canada and the person who owned it had low miles and it was also fully loaded. The car looked almost brand new. I barley could afford it with what I made at Caldors. My mom said we can help and cosigned with me. Then my father passed away 4 months later. I had to take over the bills. I asked Abba I need to make at least 10 an hr to pay the bills. I started at my new career job in Jan. at 10.00 hr. Then my mom lost her job. I don't know how I got thru it but I know Abba provided.
So this time around I'm going to trust and no matter what If Abba wants me to have a house, I'll have it.

"Me & Becky"

My sister Becky loves this song. She says the song reminds her of her & I. Funny thing is tomorrow I will be going to see a house. I have been pre-approved for a loan and have started looking at houses. My sister is also now ready to leave her group home and live on her own. Hopefully I can get a multi-family and rent the other apartment to her. She will be independent but will have her big sis next to her.

Me & Becky

By Chris Rice
Becky has a house on abundant life Boulevard
A good name, a good family, and butterflies in her yard
Becky loves Jesus and really wants to make Him proud
She tears up in church and she sings her harmonies loud
She's got a Bible by the bed
A prayer journal, and a fish on her car
She makes sure to bow her head
And give thanks in every restaurant
But is that enough?

C'mon Becky, let's go for a ride
If I'm driving too fast then I apologize
But there's a world out there that we left behind
Full of souls as important as yours and mine
Looks like a reckless road, and a sacrifice
And I'm crazy scared it may cost our lives
But then I remember Jesus died
So c'mon Becky, let's go for a ride

I'm rolling up to Becky's house on my Sunday drive
I have to laugh to myself 'cause it looks exactly like mine
I smile and wave at all the happy people strolling by
We've got the same walk, same talk
And the same sparkle in our eyes
'Cause we're thankful for the blessings
But maybe we could lay 'em aside
I get a feeling we might be
Missin' the time of our lives
So hop in and hold on tight

C'mon Becky, let's go for a ride
If I'm driving too fast then I apologize
But there's a world out there that we left behind
Full of souls as important as yours and mine
Looks like a reckless road, and a sacrifice
And I'm crazy scared it may cost our lives
But then I remember Jesus died
So c'mon Becky, c'mon Becky

We're so thankful for the blessings
But maybe we could lay 'em aside
I get a feeling we might be
Headed for the time of our lives
So hop in and hold on tight
C'mon Becky, let's go for a ride
If I'm driving too fast then I apologize
But there's a world out there that we left behind
Full of souls as important as yours and mine
Looks like a reckless road, and a sacrifice
And I'm crazy scared it may cost our lives
But then I remember Jesus died
So c'mon Becky, let's go for a ride

Let's go, Let's go, Let's go, Let's go, Let's go
