"You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in Your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book." Psalm 56:8

Father, You hear the cries of your children and know our needs. Speak to our insecurities, that we may be totally yours. Multiply our peace amidst a meal from you.   Grant their be friends and those who need us. Allow us to hear you and move with confidence, despite what we now know. Despite our dire circumstances you will provide. Show yourself now father in this time of need, that your name be glorified.  You know I/we are helpless without you. We are scared and lonely:  Open your presence to our spirit. Enlighten us now. Amen.

Keep me safe within your hands. Hold me, that I might not venture into areas where I can not find my way back. Wash over me and cleanse my mind of it’s own ideas. Whisper to me my name that I might hear your voice inviting me to open my eyes.

Who are these that fly like a cloud, and like doves to their windows.  Isaiah 60:08 (NRSV)

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights who does not change like shifting shadows.

Then those who feared the LORD talked with each other, and the LORD listened and heard. A scroll of remembrance was written in his presence concerning those who feared the LORD and honored his name.  "They will be mine," says the LORD Almighty, "in the day when I make up my treasured possession. I will spare them, just as in compassion a man spares his son who serves him. Malachi 3:1-17

I was walking with the dogs this morning. I took them to a place where I’ve walked with each of our dogs over the past forty year period. They seemed excited and full of energy this morning. As I looked out across the acres of land where I felt as if I wanted to cry. Things were quite different and permanently changed in the lake area and within my life. We walked along our way and back to the car. Driving out I was stopped by this word from Father. While if spoke to me, I sense it will speak to many of you who are relating to the changes made in out lives and circumstances around us. Don't cry for what you once knew. Just as you have changed and will continue to change in what you see or perceive to be true. I am planting in fertile soil. Ruach Elohim is continuing to breathe and hover over the face of the deep. He sees the eyes of those past and those yet to be made known. His breath is yet conceiving life. I Am for evermore; without beginning or end. I watch out and

When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all the truth. For He will not speak on His own, but He will speak whatever He hears. He will also declare to you what is to come.  John 16:13 (HCSB )

Do not tire. Eat of the bread I provide for you. Allow me to overwhelm you with my mercy. I am the healing you need. I am the wholeness of health. Draw near to me and do not listen to the deceiver. He would deposit his lies. He is powerless where my name is spoken. I am the light and the creator-life of the world. Come into the boundaries I have set for you. Within them you will find me. Do not tire, but find your rest within me.

Come on, let’s renew our loyalty to the Eternal One! He tore us like a lion, but He’ll heal us;     He wounded us, but He’ll bandage us. He’ll bring us back to life after two days;     He’ll raise us up on the third day, and we’ll live with Him. So let’s know Him; let’s strive to know the Eternal.     As surely as the sun rises, He’ll come out from His lair. As surely as the rains come each year—     those spring rains that drench the earth—He’ll come back to us.  Hosea 6:1-3

At my direction and approval nations will be defined. Be my container. My oil will soften your heart; the callousness will fall away as you reach for those I bring to you. I will pour forth from you. I will touch each individual. Let me break your heart so I can pour forth. My fragrance will cover each one. Then Samuel took the horn filled with olive oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and the Spirit of the Eternal fell strongly on David and remained from that day on. Samuel then left for Ramah.  1 Samuel 16:13 (Voice)

The voice of the LORD is upon the waters; the God of glory thunders, the LORD, upon many waters.  The voice of the LORD is powerful, the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.  The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars, the LORD breaks the cedars of Lebanon.  Psalm 29:3-5 (RSV)

I am calling you. I have given you a new name. Do not fear that others think when they see the change within you.  Let their jealousy draw them into a real knowing of me, and my heart for them. I am encouraging you to stretch forth and walk where I shall direct you. I will bring freedom and healing. Feed those I bring to you. Pour forth my oil of refreshment and healing.  Speak my heart to them.  Allow me to penetrate their callous ways and wounds. Do not be surprised by what I am doing. I am calling you to actively participate in me.

Pilate said, “So you are a king?” Jesus responded, “You say I am a king. Actually, I was born and came into the world to testify to the truth. All who love the truth recognize that what I say is true.”  John 18:37 (NLT)

It is time for you to venture out into the sonshine.  Yes, it is now your time.   This time of testing is not because of anything you think you may have done. Amidst this testing you can find me. Lock your eyes upon me. Allow my fire to cloak you in security and peace.   I see a small home tucked away in a wooded area. I see the face of one looking outside from behind a window of seclusion. In front of here is now bright late-spring sunshine. No more the white winter snow of cold and darkness.   It is your time to act upon what you feel father speaking to you. It is time to believe that healing can come for others when you lay hands on and pray with them.   It is time for you to believe that you can breath new life into the silent and hurting faces. As you begin to walk out what you’ve learned you will grow more aware of what Father wants to do.  In obedience to the small things you will again feel re-connected to Father.  He’s never gone, but needs you to learn

Speak my name and the darkness will flee. The mountains will bow down at my direction. Speak my name. It carries the authority to cast out the minions of the enemy. It breaks the bonds and traps set to entangle my people.  Speak my name in love.

I am calling forth my sons and daughters. You know who you are. You feel the loving of my presence. You are learning how to express my heart. Gather near to me. I will feed you with my bread.  Through you I will bind the wounded. My oil will pour forth It will flow from your hands. My light will shine forth from you.     You are my sons and daughters.     You will know when I am speaking.     You will honor my name in obedience.
