prosperity

Therefore keep the words of this covenant and do them, that you may deal wisely and prosper in all that you do. All of you stand today before the Lord your God—your heads, your tribes, your elders, and your officers, even all the men of Israel, Your little ones, your wives, and the stranger and sojourner in your camp, from the hewer of your wood to the drawer of your water— That you may enter into the covenant of the Lord your God, and into His oath which He makes with you today, That He may establish you this day as a people for Himself, and that He may be to you a God as He said to you and as He swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It is not with you only that I make this sworn covenant But with future Israelites who do not stand here with us today before the Lord our God, as well as with those who are here with us this day.  Deuteronomy 29:9-15 (AMP) We have an even greater calling than “doing”; by his great grace we can draw close to him, “b

in preparation

"Get yourself ready! Stand up and say to them whatever I command you. Do not be terrified by them, or I will terrify you before them. Today I have made you a fortified city, an iron pillar and a bronze wall to stand against the whole land--against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests and the people of the land. They will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you and will rescue you," declares the LORD. Jeremiah 1:17-19 (NIV)

a foretelling

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this. Isaiah 9:6-7 (NIV)

to spread the light

My birth foretold my future, as I was wrapped in swaddling cloths as a preparation of what was to come. Into a time of darkness I came, to spread the light of hope. I left my word within you that it might grow through you and into others in need. My hope is yet available. It comes in many ways for those willing to spend time seeking me.

stand firm

Moses said to the people, “Do not fear! Stand firm and see the salvation of the LORD that he will provide for you today; for the Egyptians that you see today you will never, ever see again. The LORD will fight for you, and you can be still.”                         Exodus 14:13-14 (NET) Where do you stand today? Has your world come to an end or are you willing to trust in me? It is through the death of one that all may live. It is through the obedient and sacrificial life that the cost of sin has been paid. Rejoice in the life which is yours, now learn to walk in it, sharing with those about you. Today the season have changed. My winds blow a strong warning. Can you hear them? They speak of my gathering in. Do not mistake my tarrying as a sign. I will certainly complete what I said I will do. My mercy and righteousness co-exist.

I am your covering

God is the one who made the star groups Pleiades and Orion; he changes darkness into the morning light, and the day into dark night. He calls for the waters of the sea to pour out on the earth. The LORD is his name. Amos 5:8 (NCV) You are my creation, placed in the point of time and situation. I have provided all which you will need. Are you willing to trust me?  There is nothing I can not do. As the enemy approaches I will be your covering. In a time of pain and darkness I will continue to cover you with my glory. Walk with me and I will be your covering. Rely upon me and I will grant guidance and wisdom. Listen to my voice and I will guide your steps. I will cover you continually as you walk with me.

proper acknowledgement

Acknowledge the LORD, you heavenly beings, acknowledge the LORD’s majesty and power! Acknowledge the majesty of the LORD’s reputation! Worship the LORD in holy attire! The LORD’s shout is heard over the water; the majestic God thunders, the LORD appears over the surging water. Psalm 29:1-3 (NET)

where trust can be planted

My blessing is on those people who trust in me, who put their confidence in me. They will be like a tree planted near a stream whose roots spread out toward the water. It has nothing to fear when the heat comes. Its leaves are always green. It has no need to be concerned in a year of drought. It does not stop bearing fruit. Jeremiah 17:7-8 (NET)

What do you see?

‘The lamp of the body is the eye. It follows that if your eye is clear, your whole body will be filled with light. But if your eye is diseased, your whole body will be darkness. If then, the light inside you is darkened, what darkness that will be! Matthew 6:22-23 (NJB) What you see determines how you see; be it hazy or cloudy light does not enter nor does it exit. Let my light bring cleansing. My fire can purify you, if you allow it. Do not be like some who embrace their disease like a badge of honour. Be filled with what is holy; gaze upon what I have set before you until your desires become my desires for you. Do not be dull, but Follow the light I set before you. Those with clear eyes will lead others.

…says the Beloved:

I sleep, but my heart is awake. I hear my love knocking. ‘Open to me, my sister, my beloved, my dove, my perfect one, for my head is wet with dew, my hair with the drops of night.' Song of Songs 5:2 (NJB )

go in peace

Then Eli answered, "Go in peace, and the God of Israel grant your petition which you have made to him." 1 Samuel 1:17 (RSV) Do not be bound by fear: I see you in your daily walk and hear the prayers of my people. What I offer is freedom in walking with me; freedom from self-expectations. Learn my voice. I long to speak more with you each day. My spirit is present to guide you into new ways. I am truth and light. In me you can have the freedom to reach outside yourself and into the lives of others. My peace is meant to flow from you and into the world. My perfected love casts away all fear. It allows others to see the love my son has for them. I wish to release you to touch the lives of nations, that they may turn to me. I will show you things and give you words to speak which will be like the keys to opening whole cities. You will have your prayers answered, as you learn my heart and follow without fear. Walk in my peace. I go before you and follow after you.
