FROM THE THRONE TO THE MANGER IN THE DIRT

Praise the Father, Praise the Son, Praise the Spirit three in one God of glory Majesty. Praise forever to the King of Kings.

Go now! Praise the Father!

The song KING OF KINGS plays in my head.

Take the thoughts in my head, the unsaved, the broken, the grieving, oppressed, hurting, lost...give them to God in song and praise.

The King of Kings have mercy on our souls.

My earlier heart cry:

Crowd out the fears of my mind today. Rejection, hurt, fear of loved ones being lost. It all hits home. Lord if I'm being honest, I'm scared. Help me! Amen.

I finally sit and listen.

Waiting!

Listening (finally)! The story of the hurting mom whose daughter went missing. The thought translates into my unanswered prayers. My fears well up within! I give into the thougthts!

Thank God I rehearsed this game before. The song (the rescuer, the redeeming son, the Holy one, sovereign one) sees fit to get my attention... Praise the Father, Praise the Son, Praise the Spirit three in one...I hear it...I stop...I resist it by keeping busy...but again I have experienced it before and realize where to run...as the song repeats itself I hear FIGHT! FIGHT IN THE SPIRIT!...not in the flesh with worry...what good does that do?...you know when you run to him you are always renewed...your thoughts go from the world despair and the possible bad outcomes to hope...TRUE HOPE..

HE OFFTERS PEACE ETERNALLY! H.O.P.E.

Mercy in his eyes.

Virgin birth

He leaves the throne to the cradle in the dirt!

Our Redeemer to rescue the whole creation.

For us, He suffered death!

Heaven held its breath until He conquered death!

Restoration.

By His word, blood, name I am free.

Are you free?

Prayer:

Father God I praise forever to the king of kings. Grab ahold of my thoughts and replace them with you truth. My truth filled life (the previous work of the Spirit within me) will awaken and listen now. Forgive me for giving in. In the moment I gave in. But now Father with your help please renew me. Restore me. I stand in awe of your majesty! Amen.

In your freedom, I am free!

Christmas. This is Christmas!

O NIGHT DIVINE

Jesus wept!

Jesus looked at humanity and wept. He felt. He cared. He was in the moment.

He already knew Lazarus would rise from the dead. He did not reflect on that in the moment. He stayed with those suffering and felt their sorrow.

This Jesus is with us all the time.

Each moment of pain, sorrow, discouragement, confusion, rejection, lack of understanding and pain, pause like Jesus, stay with it. Pray!

Let him work.

Stop thinking of what will happen, what is next, the argument to defend...

Ye Lord we greet you!

Love Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Prayer: Stir me to the peace you can only promise. Amen.

Topics Elaine Speaks On

A DAY IN MARJORIE OVERLOAD'S LIFE

Your closets may be clean, your spices in alphabetical order, but how’s the space between your ears? When the pace of life leaves little time to process and organize our thoughts, our minds can become cluttered with “woulda, shoulda, coulda”. When the temptation to put ourselves down or compare ourselves to others strikes, defeat and condemnation can lure us into faulty thinking,

Through humor and drama Elaine shows what a chaotic mind looks like. Listen as she helps to identify “stinkin’ thinkin’ and what the Bible has to say about it. Then learn about the tools God has given us to overcome these thoughts and move to become the person God created you to be.

Personalities Plus

Do you find yourself trying to change the people around you? Frustrating, isn’t it? Why can’t everyone be just like me? But do you really know yourself? Take the test; find out what makes you you. Understanding ourselves – and others – better allows us to change what we can and live with what we can’t. Truly, a life changing experience. Elaine’s passion for teaching the personalities comes from the great success she has had personally in her own relationships, especially with her husband and children. She bases the teaching on Romans 12:18 If possible as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

Elaine is a certified Personality Trained through Florence Littauer’s Classervices, Inc. Classervices, located in New Mexico, is a Christian Organization that teaches individuals how to speak and write professionally. They have been around for over 40 years.

The Greatest Gift Ever

Using a wrapped gift, Elaine demonstrates that Jesus Christ is the greatest Christmas gift ever given. Using Scripture and her testimony, Elaine clearly communicates the gospel message and invites listeners to receive this incredible gift from God. The Greatest Gift Ever is a wonderful message for a Christmas tea, or any other evangelistic event and can be customized with a skit for your special gathering. How can you create your testimony, so you can share with others?

LOVING GOD-We love because He first loved us. Busyness always keeps us from meeting with God, where our deepest satisfaction comes from. King David writes in Psalm 63 his desire toward God. His satisfaction in God. His dependence upon God, and assurance of safety. Elaine does a drama called “I Invite You Into My Sanctuary” describing the place where she sees God’s power and glory. She will challenge you to commit yourself to God, to be easy and pleased, and quiet from the fear of evil. Explore with her the answer to the questions “how and why David loved God more than his own life?”

Theater with a message:
RUTH- There is many messages that can come through in the story of Ruth. As Ruth trusts God with her life she finds God blesses her and unimaginable and amazing things happen in her life (length of this one women show can be altered to fit the duration of any event).

THE INNKEEPERS DAUGHTER- A woman, Ana, tells her story of living and working at an Inn, where the miraculous event of Jesus’ birth occurred, and her life was changed forever.

A LOOK AT CHRISTMAS THROUGH THE EYES OF A CHILD- The wonder of childlike joy is expressed when three young sweet innocent sisters come together to read the Christmas story that always teaches them the rich beauty of Christmas. This year they realize they need a gift for the baby Jesus, what will it be?.
