Come To God’s Oasis!

Pure Glory

by Hazel Straub

Rest in the Lord! Quit striving and exerting much effort and energy, getting stressed, depressed, and exhausted. Activity and busyness can keep you, from spending time with God, making life burdensome rather than a joy.

Give yourself a God break and let him carry the responsibility and burdens. Seek God with all of your heart, with what you choose to think, what you will to do, and your resulting emotions.

Savor your life!

 “Are you weary, carrying a heavy burden? Then come to me. I will refresh your life, for I am your oasis. Simply join your life with mine. Learn my ways and you’ll discover that I’m gentle, humble, easy to please. You will find refreshment and rest in me. For all that I require of you will be pleasant and easy to bear.”(Matthew 11:28-30 TPT)

Praise And Thanksgiving

Pure Glory

by Hazel Straub

To you O Lord do I lift my thanks and praise
To sing of your glorious name voice raised
Proclaiming your steadfast love as day breaks
Your faithful presence at night always slakes

You shelter and protect from enemies and foes
You are my strength and refuge taking my woes
You draw me close in acceptance and great love
My rock, fortress, defender yet gentle as a dove

A Fresh Look At The New Season

Pure Glory

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

In this new season, God says:

“What are you willing to give up for Me, because you love Me?”

“What is blocking or hindering you, from Me?”

“Are you ready to come to the end of yourself, and start anew?”

Prayer For Heart Transformation

Pure Glory

by Hazel Straub

Father God, explore, examine and shine your light on my thought life, my motivations, meditations, desires, emotions, character, reflections, and the plans of my heart. I turn from deceit, wickedness, and stubborn rebellion. No longer ruled by the desires of the flesh, I choose to give my life and heart to you, Lord.

Cleanse me in the blood of Jesus. Renew a right spirit in me. Remove my stony, stubborn, selfish heart and give me a tender heart of flesh that responds quickly to Holy Spirit conviction.

Thank you for a heart transformation! A heart fully surrendered and given to Christ. I glorify you with my life. A life saturated with your love and forgiveness.

Amen

“The heart is hopelessly dark and deceitful,
a puzzle that no one can figure out.
But I, God, search the heart
and examine the mind.
I get to the heart of…

Pass On God’s Goodness

Pure Glory

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

God will give anything to you that he can get through you. We are called to be Imitators of God, ambassadors for Christ, sons, led by the Spirit of God. Whatever, he does to us, we are supposed to do for others. He has been merciful, so we should release mercy. He has comforted us, so we should comfort others, etc.

Do you want Yahweh to treat you the way you treat those who’ve wronged you? I surely don’t. The Word declares forgive us our trespasses, AS WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO TRESPASS AGAINST US. Did you know when you’re praying that you are asking Yahweh, “To treat you the way you treat people?”

Regardless, of how we are treated, we have to give an account for our actions, in how we respond or react to it. Can they see the reflection of Christ in your character…

Know Your Identity!

Pure Glory

by Hazel Straub

God is resetting you. The definition of reset includes to turn a computer or device of and then on, to make it start to work correctly. To change the position on controls such as to reset the microwave clock. Or to change the details, as in changing your password.

You are reset to function, knowing your true identity. The Lord wants you to change your mind and get the mind of Christ. As a believer, you live in Christ and receive his identity. Get to know Jesus and you will know who you are. You are a new creation! No longer shackled by the past and stuck in a rut.

It is not what comes from the outside to attack you that causes the problems but the beliefs you believe. Through Christ you are a child of God. He has adopted you and this is your new…

Encouragement For The Discouraged

Pure Glory

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

Our “going through’s” lead us to our “growing through’s.” Then this leads us to our “getting to’s,” of what Yahweh ordained for us.

Worship God Despite The Circumstances

Pure Glory

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego said, “Our God is able to deliver us, but even if he doesn’t, we still will not bow and worship the golden image.” This is worship with no compromise. Even if God doesn’t do what we want him to, we should worship him because of who He is in our hearts; not just for what He’s placed within our hands.

Disregard the fiery furnace and how heated it may become, or how long you’ve been waiting, and worship with “no compromise,” just because, Jehovah Sabaoth is able to deliver.

Yahweh Our Provider, Protection And Shepherd

Pure Glory

by Hazel Straub

When fear comes to rob you of peace, meditate and think about Yahweh, our wonderful Shepherd, who provides, sustains and protects us. We enjoy abundance of love, joy, provision, refreshment and restoration, in his presence.

Yahweh, the God of my present, I AM WHO I AM, is my Shepherd (protector, provider, leader), my Friend, who takes care of me. I will not lack anything and I will succeed. He causes me to rest and relax, with no fear of predators or starvation. My home is fresh green pastures, where I eat my fill, in safety.

Yahweh, gently and carefully leads me, he sustains me and protects me, so I can settle down and rest without fear. He provides abundantly for me, with water, food, shelter, and all I need because he is my Shepherd and Friend. He protects me from all my enemies.

When I am…
