Move Forth

Move forth with me. Step into the promises I have shown you. Release the shackles from your past And move in new freedom. Let go of the lies which bind you to the present. Not only have I called you, but I have prepared you. I have prepared you to succeed in me. I have given you what is needed. Move forth in my authority. Claim the lost places for my name. Freely disperse forgiveness. Release love into the land. Speak my word. The plans of the enemy will be destroyed. My truth releases the captives. My ways bring prosperity. Go forth into new places. I am directing your pathway. You can not fail, for the plans are mine.I the creator call you to move forth with me.

reconcile

Does your hunger for my word seem diminished? Is it hard to find time to seek me? Allow my spirit to lead you. Ask and you will receive. Do you desire a deeper relationship with me? It is available to you. Call upon my name. Allow my spirit to lead you. There is no failure in those that I know. I have no disappointment in my children, only love. Direction and correction are for mine. These release new life. Be washed in my presence. Allow me to clean away the grime. I will wash over those who call to me. Do not allow sin to go unchecked. It will result in death. The enemy would have you believe there is punishment and disgrace. He would speak lies to your spirit, to cause you to avoid me. Call to me and receive life-renewing water. Be anointed with my oil. Renew yourself in my ways. I desire to reconcile all that is mine.

I am the fire

I am the fire and express myself in many ways. I am the fire that did not consume the bush. My ways are to draw you aside to me. Turn aside and see if I am not calling you to a new level of relationship. I am a pillar of fire That offers direction in times of darkness. I am high and lifted up So that all who would look for me Can clearly see where, and when I am moving. I am the fire visible on Sinai. I am found in the mountains of testing. Are you willing to take time to search my ways? My glory is awesome. From within my fire You shall receive instruction. I am the fire. I express myself to my people who call upon my name. No enemy will mock my name. I am a consuming fire that destroys impurity bold enough to approach me in ways I have not sanctified. I am the fire. I go before my people that your pathway is clear. There is no mistake to my leading. My enemies will be destroyed. I will burn the gates of the proud and haughty. I am the fire of purity. I bring purity to those who seek

Know that I love you

Know that I love you. While you were still a sinner I loved you; I sent my Spirit pursued you. My love is real. In it there is no failure. The blood of my Son has covered your sins. This blood flows freely. My love is never-ending. Know that I love you. Release your failures to me. Leave them; you are not rejected. You are not disqualified. As you learn to realize my love You too will be able to share my love with those who desperately need it. There are those crying for someone to touch and speak with them. Why not share my love? My love is never-ending. Know that I love.

a time of fire approaching

And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego fell, bound, into the furnace of blazing fire. Then King Nebuchadnezzar jumped up in alarm. He said to his advisers, “Didn’t we throw three men, bound, into the fire?” “Yes, of course, Your Majesty,” they replied to the king. He exclaimed, “Look! I see four men, not tied, walking around in the fire unharmed; and the fourth looks like a son of the gods.” Nebuchadnezzar then approached the door of the furnace of blazing fire and called: “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, you servants of the Most High God—come out!” So Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out of the fire. When the satraps, prefects, governors, and the king’s advisers gathered around, they saw that the fire had no effect on the bodies of these men: not a hair of their heads was singed, their robes were unaffected, and there was no smell of fire on them. Daniel 3:23-27 (HCSB) My church be assured, there is a time of fire approaching. There will be great testing, and th

the yellow bag

NOW MOSES kept the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian; and he led the flock to the back or west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb or Sinai, the mountain of God. The Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush; and he looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, yet was not consumed. And Moses said, I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush is not burned. And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the midst of the bush and said, Moses, Moses! And he said, Here am I. Exodus 3:1-4 (AMP) I was driving home from work late one hot and humid summer afternoon. There was a very warm breeze blowing. As I was on this three lane street I saw something on the road in front of me. It was a bright yellow plastic grocery-type bag. It did not move as cars went by on either side of it. As I was driving closer to the bag it began to move. It lifted straight up into the air as I drove

Opportunities

Now the works of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, depravity, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish rivalries, dissensions, factions, envyings, murders, drunkenness, carousings, and similar things. I am warning you, as I had warned you before: Those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God! But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Galatians 5:19-23 (NET) As I was recently driving in my car I came up to an intersection. As I slowed, I was behind a blue Saturn station-wagon. It sat there waiting with the left turn-signal blinking. When it came time for us to go, it turned right, instead of left. It was then I heard God speak. It was a simple, straight forward message. Watch those who are your leaders, those you are following, especially your spiritual leaders. They are not to be criticized. They

the diviner's rod

Ask Yahweh for rain in autumn and at the time of the spring rains. Yahweh is the one to make the storm-clouds. He will give them showers of rain; to each, grass in his field. Since the domestic idols have talked nonsense, and the diviners have seen false signs, and dreams have purveyed delusions, affording empty comfort, that is why they have strayed like sheep, in distress for want of a shepherd. Zechariah 10:1-2 (NJB) A diviner’s rod is forked. It is a Y-shaped tool that is used to search for water, to predict the place where a well should be drilled. In this verse, Zechariah 10:2, we are told diviners are not to be trusted. They lie and offer false dreams. Why would we knowing pursue falsehood or trust the words and dreams of fortune tellers? We are to trust God. The Holy Spirit speaks truth and does not offer false hope. The diviner’s rod is false. The motives are twisted. While it may lead to water, they speak of an impure flow. Yahweh is our provider God. His ways are straight. H

the other side of the river

Moses said: After we went through Ammon, the Lord told us: Israel, pack up your possessions, take down your tents, and cross the Arnon River gorge. The territory of the Amorite King Sihon of Heshbon lies on the other side of the river, but I now give you his land. So attack and take it! Today I will start making all other nations afraid of you. They will tremble with fear when anyone mentions you, and they will be terrified when you show up. Deuteronomy 2:24-25 (CEV) As I was driving to work one recent morning I heard Father God speak to me. He said clearly the phrase, “the other side of the river”. As I repeated the words, thinking about them, I realized I was literally traveling across a small river beneath the interstate. The Father says arise, I have prepared you. It was I who brought you out of the ways of the world. Now stand to your feet, rise in my strength. It is time to cross this river. I have given you gifts. The blood of my son covers your sins. Move forth. Foll
