THE BEAUTY OF HOLINESS

Psalms 110 3
Thy people [shall be] willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.

The beginning of each New Year brings most of us to a place of setting New Goals, and new ways to get our Own House in Order. We also make new attempts to get the Temple Of God in better shape. So I want to encourage you to begin to believe the Lord for on Going Resurrection, and Newness of Life. Women need to keep themselves looking and feeling good. Its just part of being a female. When we let ourselves go, then we aren't happy, and we don't respond to Life as Joyful as we could. So I want to encourage you now, to begin to see the Spiritual Side, of Beauty. It radiates out from within, and can Quicken your whole presence. There are many things we can do to establish and maintain a High Source of Gods Power to stay flowing through us, and keep us in the Dew of our Youth. The Source of Real Beauty, is Holiness. The Scriptures tell us over, and over that youth, and even worship itself have their source in Holiness. The meaning of Holiness for the most part is to be Set Apart. To show oneself dedicated, consecrated to the things of the Lord, before the things of this world. It means to be devoted to this life style. Ongoing purifying one's self from the rudiments and contamination of the World and its effects on the flesh.

1Co 15:49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

Ro 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. Ro 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also [in the likeness] of [his] resurrection: Ro 6:9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.

Ps 17:15 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.

2Co 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, [even] as by the Spirit of the Lord.

Ro 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Transformation, restoration, changing from Glory to Glory is an on going Process of the believers Life. We are not talking about the hear after, but the Hear and Now. We need Resurrection Power day by day to keep on keeping on, and to continue to be transformed, renewed, and drawing more and more strength from the Throne of Grace.

Joh 7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. Isa 58:11 And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.

Ps 68:13 Though ye have lien among the pots, [yet shall ye be as] the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold.

Jesus Loves his Bride, and he Wants her to Radiate the Beauty of Holiness. He wants to bring Women into a place where they can rely on him to provided and care for them. Our part is to enter into this Bridal Chamber by FAITH, that all we need has been prepared for us ahead of time by our Bridegroom. He hasn't forgotten a thing, down to the last detail. So this Year I encourage you to believe him for his best, and learn how to receive all the Lord has laid up for you in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Pray for him to teach you how to receive here on earth as it is in Heaven. You need those heavenly blessings down here, and by FAITH you can access them according to the Word of God. We will continue to explore these issues in our Next Newsletter.

NEWSLETTER

Hello Precious Prayer Partners,

Its a Brand New Year, and we are busy here at Morning-Star Rising getting everything renewed.

We went through a time when the Prayer Requests where so Heavy, we could barely keep up with answering them,and posting them. So we have gotten behind on everything else. Do keep us in prayer as we begin to update things and add new things to keep you all Inspired as to who you are in Christ. We have already added many NEW messages to the Words for Women Page. Also we are adding a Subscribe page for the Newsletter and we will be able to send out more Bulk messages on a regular basis. We have had problems with this in the past, so we haven't been able to keep you all informed as things come up that are Urgent. Also in a few Months we will be adding something else to our Ministry that will Up Lift you all Spirit, Soul, and body. So please pray for guidance, and direction in the days ahead. Pray for the Lord to bring a new Vision to the Spiritually minded Women. We are believing the Lord to bring us a New dimension on how he wants his Bride to be treated, and how he wants us to live and take care of ourselves, so that we my more fully reflect that Glory, in order to Glorify him in our daily lives.

Pray for the technical things that need to be done to the site. We need help in this area, and we need constantly be working to improve things, and make them easier to use.

Thank you all for your support throughout the year. We don't ask for donations, but when we receive them, it is as if the Lord himself appeared, and Said, WELL DONE MY GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT. Yes we do need encouragement, and we need to see the Lord blessing the work of our hands. Most of the donations we receive enable us to respond to those who are in need. We Minister to many Women who are in transition, and often they have no money at all to get their lives into a new place in order to live the way God wants them to. So do pray for this to be an area we can respond to more compassionately as the year begins.

We have not given up on having a Place for Women to live in there retirement years. We want to establish a Home environment for Women to live in and be surrounded with other Women so we can keep each other company and be a support and family to those who have none. This is a real challenge, and we will be putting together a Concrete Plan to establish this Vision, in Gods timing. So if any of you are interested in Investing in your Future, and want to participate in establishing this Vision, we welcome your response, and support. As we complete the plans, we will see how the Lord wants to run it, and how he wants to finance it.

Without Faith it is impossible to please God, so we will continue to walk by FAITH, and move out in 2001 to do Exploits, in Jesus Mighty name. , and we welcome you all to send your Dreams and Visions, as well as Beauty tips, or Poems. All insight or articles for the Spiritually minded Women is more then Welcome.

Good Bless each and everyone of you, your Families and Homes. Love to you all in Jesus Holy Spirit,

PROPHETIC WORD

"A Woman in Transition"

Like the last leaf of autumn, I hung on as winter approached. The bitter winds of transition hurled their blows to seek entrance to my heart. Although the effects have battered my dreams, I have held on to the hope of a welcomed change. Setting my mind to survive those wintery blues, I prepare my heart on that promise of spring.

The Lord reminds me in the seasons that change can be accepted whenever I have the right attitude to welcome it. Transitions can transpire without fear and anxiety overtaking my dreams and my heart. He gently guides and loves us through each day, no matter how strong the winds of change may blow.

Even thought my appearance may seem wintery, it was like springtime in my heart. I began to focus on the new attitude I beheld in my heart and something hopeful emerged. I was becoming the woman that God wanted me to be----a woman in transition---a new creation, full of hope and grace.

Just like the autumn leaf wanting the bitter winds to end, I realize that the Lord is in control. I feel differently now as they tug at my heart. Within my heart there is only a gently breeze that kisses my face awake after a long winter sleep.

Welcome spring!

THE BRIGHT AND MORNING-STAR

Re 2:28 And I will give him the morning star. Re 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, [and] the bright and morning star.

Lu 1:78 Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the day spring from on high hath visited us,

Lu 1:79 To give light to them that sit in darkness and [in] the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.

2 Pe 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts.
