is this you?

But to all who have received him — those who believe in his name — he has given the right to become God’s children — children not born by human parents or by human desire or a husband’s decision, but by God. John 1:12-13 (NET)

inception

The earth was without form and an empty waste, and darkness was upon the face of the very great deep. The Spirit of God was moving (hovering, brooding) over the face of the waters.    Genesis 1:2 (AMP) inception The concept is not new, that I would speak and Hollywood would hear me. Open your eyes and your ears to what I am saying. Open yourself widely for what I am about to do. Stop doubting what you now feel as the impossible, for that is part of who I am. I am speaking life and new ideas. I am dropping an embryonic form into your thought process.  Brood over what you think I would do. Feed it and speak it aloud. Your mind needs to hear you say it. I am yet hovering over my creation. I am coming into the lives of those who will respond. Don't be caught in the old traps of sterility. They are twisted and gnarled half-truths, still lifeless. That is not me. I am the creator and bread of life. When I speak, joy is conceived and life flows forth. There is a new birth coming

How do you answer?

The well that Jacob had dug was still there, and Jesus sat down beside it because he was tired from traveling. It was noon, and after Jesus' disciples had gone into town to buy some food, a Samaritan woman came to draw water from the well.  Jesus asked her, "Would you please give me a drink of water?" John 4:6 (CEV)

the only point of entry

This is the LORD’s gate — the godly enter through it. I will give you thanks, for you answered me, and have become my deliverer. The stone which the builders discarded has become the cornerstone. This is the LORD’s work. We consider it amazing! Psalm 118:20-23 (NET)

the place to be

Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.' Isaiah 41:10 (NKJV)

in all you do, call upon Him

I called on the LORD in distress; The LORD answered me and set me in a broad place. Psalm 118:5 (NKJV)

allow me

I speak to you because you are mine. My love is never-ending. Listen for my voice of comfort and direction. Be not surprised, the enemy is also speaking. His lying voice is raised against you. Resist believing his lying words. His words bring death and deception. My love remains for my own. There is nothing you will do that can surprise or disappoint me. Continue to seek me. Read my word, meditating upon it. Within it are the promises of life. Allow me to fill you. Come aside with me in the privacy of your prayer closet. Allow me to fill you. My oil is for you. My anointing is upon those who draw near. I am speaking to you so you would know what to speak forth to those in need. Speak love and hope to the beaten-down and dying. Apply my oil to their wounds. You can be my voice. Set your hope in me. Come into your place of prayer so I might anoint you.

awaken

Awaken yourself. I have much for you to do. I need you to be in touch with the heart of the Father. Then go into your house and shut the door behind you and your sons. Pour oil into all the jars, and set the full ones aside." So she left Elisha and shut the door behind her and her sons. As they brought the jars to her, she poured out the oil. When the jars were all full, she said to her son, "Bring me another jar." But he said, "There are no more jars." Then the oil stopped flowing. She went and told Elisha. And the prophet said to her, "Go, sell the oil and pay what you owe. You and your sons can live on what is left." 2 Kings 4:4-7 (NCV) But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. Matthew 6:6 (NIV)

I am looking

Do not turn your face away. I am wanting to look into your eyes. I am looking for those who are fishing to now return to me. Come and eat what I have prepared for you. So Jesus said to them, "Children, you don't have any fish, do you?" They replied, "No." He told them, "Throw your net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some." So they threw the net, and were not able to pull it in because of the large number of fish. Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" So Simon Peter, when he heard that it was the Lord, tucked in his outer garment (for he had nothing on underneath it), and plunged into the sea. Meanwhile the other disciples came with the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from land, only about a hundred yards. When they got out on the beach, they saw a charcoal fire ready with a fish placed on it, and bread. Jesus said, "Bring some of the fish you have

who you really are

This word is for someone known as Charlie or Charles, but many do not know that is actually not your name. I know who you really are. I have given you my name. With it you have the same rights and privileges as my son.  Come, sit at my table. Talk with me. Speak to me of your dreams and your sorrows. I have things I would say to you which you do not yet realize. Do not become discouraged or negative at what you think you see. There is a change coming in the leadership. It is time for you to exercise the gifting you recognize internally. It will grow and stimulate other gifts to become prominent as you mature. My hand of protection is extended to you. Will you accept it and come closer to me? It is time for you to declare the truth planted within. I have given you my name as those aspects of my character. It is time for you to speak to the land about you. Speak to it and cultivate it. Your voice has the power to give life or to kill. Build up those about you. Encourage them in w

Ezekiel 8: the glory of the God of Israel

I looked, and I saw a figure like that of a man. From what appeared to be his waist down he was like fire, and from there up his appearance was as bright as glowing metal. He stretched out what looked like a hand and took me by the hair of my head. The Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven and in visions of God he took me to Jerusalem, to the entrance to the north gate of the inner court, where the idol that provokes to jealousy stood. And there before me was the glory of the God of Israel, as in the vision I had seen in the plain. Ezekiel 8:2-4 (NIV)

The way to blessing

Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD. Blessed are the people he has chosen as his own. Psalm 33:12 (GW)

protection from eternal death

Then the LORD God said, “The man has become like one of us, since he knows good and evil. He must not reach out and take the fruit from the tree of life and eat. Then he would live forever.” So the LORD God sent the man out of the Garden of Eden to farm the ground from which the man had been formed. After he sent the man out, God placed angels and a flaming sword that turned in all directions east of the Garden of Eden. He placed them there to guard the way to the tree of life. Genesis 3:22-24 (GW)
