| FOF: Too Wonderful For Words |
|
| |
Daily Fortunes of Favor
Beloved Ones:
I sit here wondering why we allow a few words made up from a minimal and incomplete alphabet of 26 small letters to dictate who and what we are or what we stand for. The phrase "Too Wonderful For Words" came to my spirit as I began reading some of the comments and emails I have received over the past couple of hours. The only thing that really matters is what is too wonderful for words to describe and that is the matchless name above all names; YAH. Jesus/Yahshua is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah and I felt his roar deep in my spirit even though I allowed a few foolish words to dictate my feelings about mychurch.
25:11 A word fitly spoken [is like] apples of gold in pictures of silver. Let our words be like the visual given to us in the Proverbs. Let every thing we say be a word fitly spoken. A word that fits the moment.
Matthew 5:11
5:11 Blessed are ye when `men' shall reproach you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Persecution has been endured and now it is time to move onward and upward. I feel a roar deep in my spirit.
In reality, these words have no power. I have often taught, as have many, that words are very powerful. And while the scripture tells us that the power of life and death is in the tongue, I believe that words are really powerless unless you give attention to them. What you give attention to, you give power to. Words are powerless and futile.
Today, let us focus on the one, too marvelous for words. Let us think on that which is lovely, just, and of a good report, if there be any virtue, if there be any praise; think on these things. I have risen above the unkind words and their powerless affects over my life by meditating on the one too wonderful for words... On the one too beautiful for words... On the one too amazing for words... on the one too gracious for words.
As my newest song says, "I'm not gonna leave until I see your face. I refuse to leave until I'm in your warm embrace. Lover of my soul, I’m not gonna go until I see your face. To behold your eyes like fire; you're my one desire. To behold your eyes of fire; I'm not gonna go until I see your face." I am focusing on the "one thing have I desired" that David wrote about in the Psalms.
He is too wonderful for words.
Shalom,
Dr. Thomas Michael

|
| Your words are very humbling Dr. I join you in worship today! |
|
|
| OMSGH! OMGSH! OMGSH! A NEW FOF!!! I AM SO EXCITED I DIDN'T EVEN READ IT YET! OK, NOW TO READING! |
|

I love you Shanny-girl. You are a true champion. Stu, thank you for upholding truth and for your kindness toward me. Birdie, you are my song bird and I am grateful that His eye is on the sparrow and I know he watches me and you. DR |

Dr. I am sooooo excited to see this blog. I am so proud of you that you rose above this little situation that was TRYING to steal your joy. I share in an holy indignation against the things you encountered today, and if I had a sword in my hand I would have cut of an ear I believe. So glad you are writting again! |

Here is what I left for Dennis to read...we can be angry but we should sin not. Lift him up in prayer. Pray for those that despitefully use us, who talk bad about us and who attack us. God will always do what is right!
| Brother, I am still trying to figure out your whole purpose for being on mychurch.org
It seems that recently you have no intention in building up the body but rather are quit content in tearing it down. The approach as to which you are using is very re-mindful of pharisees and sadducees. Rather than build up and edify you seem to be more focused in telling everyone that they are wrong or being misled and that you have a better way based upon your theology.
I am in no way mad or upset but it would be to the benefit of everyone if you were to find a much more constructive, edifying way to go about your agenda. Theology is a study of God based upon man's wisdom. You are obviously very well educated and more intellegent than I and may even have a greater understanding of scripture but without Love and the Spirit of God working in your life that is as a sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal.
I wish you well, and there are no hard feelings but this is not the place to degrade, attack, belittle, anyone. If someone is off base according to scripture then we can talk about it with them but if they refuse to see or acknowledge it then it us up to God through the Holy Spirit to speak to those folks. We are not the Holy Spirit and should not take on His role.
David

Brother Dave, just got the copy and paste from your comment to Dennis. Your words are worthy to be remembered and seasoned with salt. DR |

Sorry, I had that scripture in my spirit and forgot to mention it earlier. A word fitly spoken... DR |
|
|
| AMEN!!!! Doing the victory dance! |

| Hi Dr. Thomas: I am checking my mail before I leave work. I do not know what you are experiencing there, but... we KNOW the one who sees all. I say, words are powerful, but... I remind myself and others more, about, how we will reap what we sow. So.. Praise The Lord everybody!!! Stay full of courage and faith as always. I know one thing, I love you and appreciate you much, all the way in California. ( smile) Also, let each of us, check our own fruit, before we start picking on others. I speak blssings over you and yours and the body of Christ that you are shephard of. Hugs, Sister Sondra |

Love You

Hello DR... you are so loved and missed.
I love the words to your new song, DR. I would love to hear it, can it be put on mychurch?
Powerful word, thank you for coming out and speaking to us from your (His) heart. In Yah's eyes YOU are "too wonderful for words" and YOU are the apple of His eye... always His favourite.
All your words are fitly spoken... timely for NOW... prophetic visions of the present/future and eternity. Thank you for always speaking HIS words, I receive and believe. Thank you for this powerful reminder to STAY FOCUSED on His Word (the power and the fragrance of glory) and not the words of others who have opinions that are not always what we should be hearing.
Hope all is well with you and Pastor Judy; many blessings on your precious family, DR.
In agreement for the most amazing season of your life...
Love you... Minister Mel

| DR, YAHVEH'S Prophet, a man who has never been ashamed to stand for righteousness before YAHVEH even when others have ridiculed and have persecuted you before others. You have never been ashamed to speak what HIS Spirit releases and instructs you to share with the body of YAHSHUA. I see how MUCH YAHVEH loves me by sending me back home where I was destined to be. When I came home you were referring to HIS most Holy name, YAHVEH. I hadn't heard the teaching you gave, but I knew if it was something HE had imparted in you, you had proven for years that you have been set apart for such a time as this. You have always been and IS, HIS mouthpiece to impart HIS uncompromising word with the body of YAHSHUA even though it offends others, you have chosen NOT to offend YAHVEH. I simply embraced the instructions and teachings you imparted in me even when others criticized them and YAHVEH always confirms and brings light to your teachings. Today, I came across a website that confirms your teachings and I began to worship and praise YAHVEH for loving me SO MUCH that he sent me back home with HIS prophet who HE knew would lead in the ways of YAHVEH! My spirit grieves for those who have risen up against HIS prophet, there are consequences that WILL follow for lack of knowledge. Thank you DR for teaching me and being an example before me and my children to FALL IN LOVE with HIS presence and HIS will, addicted to HIS embrace and to the fire in HIS eyes. I never want to leave HIS presence! The website that confirmed your teaching that others have sought to criticize was www.ynvh.com/messages.asp "Call upon the name of YAHVEH" I anxiously await the moment to share with my sons as YAHVEH exposes who the true enemies are. HE had HIS BEST in store for me and my children! THANK YOU DR, YOU ARE HIS BEST and HE has HIS best in store for HIS bride! |

| Dr. Thomas: Good Morning Man of God. Before I go to work today, I am checking messages again. The scripture that came to my mind last night, as I reflected on this site, was: Touch not God's annointed and do my prophets no harm. The way I figure, if a minister or pastor is out of line, just pray. Have a joyful day. Hugs, Sister Sondra |

I've come back to this blog today, now that my mind and emotions are clear and no longer cluttered by the tumultuous tides of yesterday--and I am thankful as I read.
'May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Oh Lord, my rock and my redeemer.' (Ps. 19: 14 NIV)
If the meditation of my heart is pleasing in his sight, my words will also be pleasing and the motivation for the words I speak will be His love for that person. Thank you Man of God for returning me to the heart of the matter.

Wow, what can I say, except that I am moved to tears that so many have logged on, not to defend me, but to defend truth. Thank God for the defenders of the faith. The words on his blog have eclipsed the hurtful words that were spoken against me over the past couple of days. Actually it was what was written between the lines. The non-words that are too wonderful for words.
Sister Sondra, precious Vicky, Minister Melanie, Sister Joey, beloved Racquel, and sweet Birdie, thank you all for the words of life that have been spoken. May God's peace and serenity accompany you throughout this mother's day weekend. Love you all, DR |

Dr.
I shared this on Birdies blog, and thought I would share it with you as it seems fitting AND I am actually bored! Not much happening today.
I was at church yesterday, and there was something bothering me. I had a bad attitude in my heart, even though I had not shared my bad attitude with others.
Worship began, and I was asking the Lord, "How can I get rid of this bad attitude?" He said, "By Blessing it.". Huh? LOL! Ok, Ok, so... I began to bless all those things that was agitating me. I began to shift in to a higher realm of rejoicing with each blessing. Prophetic words began to flow about blessing the Lord & blessing those situations that have you tied up in knots. I was freed from a big joy robber by me blessing the situation. I understand why we are commanded to bless our enemies. I made the choice to get a clear heart and was willing to do whatever He said to do to get it. God is concerned about what is in our heart. If I had not dealt with it immediately, I would have been in a place to gossip & complained about it after church to my husband. You are right when you say that words only have power if we give it power. We have the power to diffuse a fire with the blessings of our mouth. Instead, I was rejoicing to TK after church, about how the Lord released awesome wisdom & the all the glory went to Him by my testimony. And we will overcome by the blood of the Lamb & the word of our testimony.
Ok, thanks for allowing me to share.
You need to write another FOF, so I can have some more good stuff to read & respond too. (heehee!) |

| Great testimony Shan, what a blessing it is when the word becomes Rhema and it speaks to the deepest of our spirits. Love you, DR |
|
|
| He surely is too wonderful for words! |
|

Blenda, He is so wonderful that it is not our words he is looking for, it is our faithfulness and unseen character. Sometimes words are futile when trying to describe my love and devotion, but my faithful, unwavering commitment to the house of God, even on Thursdays; (clear throat) is one way I can let others know how much I love him. Love you Bo, DR
P.S. Please tell Tom that it is not the same without him playing behind me and it's not the same without the yada yada. |
