favor

Restore us, O God our deliverer! Do not be displeased with us! Will you stay mad at us forever? Will you remain angry throughout future generations? Will you not revive us once more? Then your people will rejoice in you! Psalm 85:4-6 (NET)

I am moving

Wake up. I am calling your name. Be ready. I am moving you to a new place. Be expectant for what I am have already done is soon-approaching. Align with my kingdom. I am preparing you. My fingerprint is upon you. My spirit is within you to guide you. Do not fear for I am with you. I am moving you forward, guiding you in my kingdom plans.

asking

And whatever you ask for in prayer, having faith and [really] believing, you will receive. Matthew 21:22 (AMP) For everyone who asks and keeps on asking receives; and he who seeks and keeps on seeking finds; and to him who knocks and keeps on knocking, the door shall be opened. Luke 11:10 (AMP)

dream experience

In the dream I was with my "friend" and saw a large group of foxes travelling across the road from me. They were a distance away from me. The next moment, they are directly in front of me, and it is clear they are not foxes. They are a large sized dog about the height of a golden retriever, but much heavier and thicker. I still do not recognize their breed. One of then is looking directly at me, come up to me and pushes into my leg, as if in an introduction. I can remember they all had a clean semi-long brown non-descript coat. I bend down and pet the lead dog. I could feel it had course thick fir. The next moment it is in my lap. I remember the smell of it's coat. It was not a woodsy or doggy smell. It had a very pleasant distinct odor. It seemed as if we were communicating something. I awoke feeling refreshed. I could sense God speaking something to me. I thought it unique that I remembered the sensation from the weight of the dog jumping onto my lap. I

do not linger

[Roaring] deep calls to [roaring] deep at the thunder of Your waterspouts; all Your breakers and Your rolling waves have gone over me. Psalm 42:7 (AMP) Do not linger in the shallows. From out of the deep I have called you. In the depth of my Spirit I shall sustain you. My Spirit is not still. It is ever-moving (hovering, brooding) over the face of the waters. It is drawing those who would listen closer to me. I have called you out of the darkness and into my light. I have not changed. I am still calling your name. My Spirit washes and cleanses those who venture into surrender. The Lion of Judah roars; those who have ears will continue to hear my voice. Do not draw back from the thundering and approaching dark clouds. I still speak from the thick clouds. My voice resounds. Yet even now only some hear it or see me clearly. I am whispering your name. I have called you out of the murky and shallow waters. My perfect love casts out all fear. Do not linger but come to me in the depths.

tired?

The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still."  Exodus 14:14 (NIV)

the wind is blowing

The wind blows wherever it will, and you hear the sound it makes, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit." John 3:8 (NET)

walking across the water

As the night was ending, Jesus came to them walking on the sea. Matthew 14:25 (NET) Walking upon the water I am ever with you. Be washed by Ruach Elohim.  Feel the moisture of my breath upon your cheek. Do not withdraw from the opportunities to move in my authority. Come walk with me. Follow my lead. Do not be caught in what they think you should be doing. Do not be self-impressed or proud by what you see me doing through you. Be holy in my holiness. Ask of me. Continue in seeking. There are water-spouts and typhoons. Be assured I have told you, you can walk upon the water. Examine yourself. How are you reacting towards those who bring criticism? Align your spirit to walk with me.  Observe me in your dreams. I am guiding you. Ask me about the obvious so I can answer you. Come walk with me upon the waters. There are those on the other shore in need of me.

Do not be deceived

"Stand firm therefore, by fastening the belt of truth around your  waist, by putting on the breastplate of righteousness."   Ephesians 6:14 (NET) Do not be deceived; this is a time for prayer. Do not allow the mischievousness to come upon you, or upon what is yours. Left unchecked, she is free to bring others with her. Speak against this impish spirit. Her water may seem refreshing, but it is impure. Call upon my Holy Spirit to drive her away; to cast out this meddling Spirit.  Your prayers will prevail.

allow me

He said to them, "Therefore every teacher of the law who has been instructed about the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old." Matthew 13:52 (NIV) Allow me to take you closer to the Christ. I will teach you his ways and you will dream the dreams of his heart. I will show you the love he has for you.  It is time to exercise you gifts; to grow stronger in the truth. Do not dress incomplete. You must wear more than just your helmet of salvation. I will teach you if you ask in sincerity. I will guide those who are humble. Allow me to cast out the fear which had crept into your heart. It builds a wall separating you from his love. He is truth. Within him flows forth the river of life. It is a time when you must hear me clearly. Respond in obedience. I will wash you in righteousness. My oil anoints the head of those near to my heart. Stretch yourself so you may be tested. Know your heart so you may be cleanse

after his resurrection

While they were saying these things, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.”  But they were startled and terrified, thinking they saw a ghost. Then he said to them, “Why are you frightened, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? Look at my hands and my feet; it’s me! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones like you see I have.” When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. And while they still could not believe it (because of their joy) and were amazed, he said to them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” So they gave him a piece of broiled fish, and he took it and ate it in front of them.  Luke 24:36-43 (NET)

fulfillment

Now when the hour came, Jesus took his place at the table and the apostles joined him. And he said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” Luke 22:14-16 (NET)

the promise before leaving

“I will not abandon you as orphans, I will come to you. In a little while the world will not see me any longer, but you will see me; because I live, you will live too.  You will know at that time that I am in my Father and you are in me and I am in you. John 14:18-20 (NET)

direction

Get rid of the old yeast that you may be a new batch without yeast--as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. Therefore let us keep the Festival, not with the old yeast, the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with bread without yeast, the bread of sincerity and truth. 1 Corinthians 5:7-8 (NIV)

arise in me

Do not let your heart be troubled, for I am with you. I have come that you may have abundant life. Build only upon the foundation I offer. Moses came to know me. He stood, arms outstretched upon the rock as Joshua battled the Amalekites at  Rephidim. They were not alone.  In his time of confusion Elijah recognized my quiet voice. You are no different then they. Be prepared in me; grounded in my written word. I reveal my secrets to those who know me. I share my plans with my prophets.  Know me and walk in what I have planned for you. Those walking in my path can have wholeness. They health of their families is secure. Arise in me for I am with you.

some life direction

Let everyone see your gentleness. The Lord is near! Do not be anxious about anything. Instead, in every situation, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, tell your requests to God. And the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:5-7 (NET)

the sound of confusion

My sheep wandered over all the mountains and on every high hill. My sheep were scattered over the entire face of the earth with no one looking or searching for them. Ezekiel 34:6 (NET). I was enjoying myself one day this week at a local mall. As I was walking about that sunny afternoon I heard God speaking. He asked me "What do you hear?"  My answer came readily. I answered, "I hear confusion.". My reply caught me by surprise. While it was true, I needed to ponder the "why" of the question. Several days had passed as I thought of the question and my answer. I realized the scripture which Paul wrote to us through the church at Corinth (1 Corinthians 14:33). He is not characterized by disorder but by peace (NET).  As his agents on earth we reflect him.  Yet at the same time we must too realize God will bring what seems confusion. We can see that in two obvious places in scripture. Look at what happened in the Shinar region of Babylonia (Genesis 11:1-

the arrival…

Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not arrive until the rebellion comes and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction. He opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, and as a result he takes his seat in God’s temple, displaying himself as God. Surely you recall that I used to tell you these things while I was still with you. And so you know what holds him back, so that he will be revealed in his own time. For the hidden power of lawlessness is already at work . However, the one who holds him back will do so until he is taken out of the way, and then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will destroy by the breath of his mouth and wipe out by the manifestation of his arrival. The arrival of the lawless one will be by Satan’s working with all kinds of miracles and signs and false wonders, and with every kind of evil deception directed against those who are perishing, be

proper vision

They rose early in the morning and went out to the wilderness of Tekoa; and when they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, "Listen to me, O Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, put your trust in the Lord your God and you will be established. Put your trust in His prophets and succeed."  2 Chronicles 20:20

and what of you?

Now when Jesus came back [to Galilee], the crowd received and welcomed Him gladly, for they were all waiting and looking for Him. Luke 8:40 (AMP)
