names

-
Walking my dog this morning I was made aware I had several names which
I called her.  She would eagerly respond to each name I did call her. It was
then I heard father speaking to me.
 
I have many names for you. You are each of them and yet much more. They,
each name, is a description of a characteristic I have imbedded within you.
You are many things, complex and simple.
 
You are mine. Do not be caught in the names which you are known. You are
much more. More than what you sense is the best or the ones which tear you
down. You are mine. Within the many names for you is a piece of the whole.
They reflect a portion of me which others may recognize. Yet you are far
more valuable to be defined by a name which can be defined.
 
 
Your name is Jacob, but you will no longer be known as Jacob. Israel will
be your name. From then on, God addressed him by his new name: Israel.
Genesis 35:10 (VOICE)
 
Then Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked
straight at Elymas and said, Acts 13:7 (NIV)

Be Ready

In the last days, the mountain of the Lord’s house will be the highest of all— the most important place on earth. It will be raised above the other hills, and people from all over the world will stream there to worship. ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭2‬:‭2‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) You are approaching the bridge, a place of crossing over. Be prepared for what you conquered on this side was in preparation for what is to be conquered on the other side. Don't allow fear to be your guide. I will show you the way I've created for you to be going in the next day. Be secure. Be ready with me.

Learning When

-
The Lord is my shepherd; I have everything I need. He lets me rest in fields of green grass and leads me to quiet pools of fresh water. He gives me new strength. He guides me in the right paths, as he has promised. Even if I go through the deepest darkness, I will not be afraid, Lord, for you are with me. Your shepherd's rod and staff protect me. ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭23‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭(GNT)‬‬ You are to walk to the bridge of decision. It is up to you if you decide to cross over or not. The other side has its new challenges, from me to help in your development and those from the enemy. Continue your walk in me. I will place you where you should grow in me. Recognize me. Learn to know when I am leading you.

Secure With Me

This is a day for remembering, for looking back on your past. Those dates and anniversaries which enriched your life. Those times I reached in and brought safety. Thinking back and reaching forward.. Plans completing and those beginning to open. My hand has been upon you and those events. Now look ahead. Find the signs and clues I’ve planted for you. You are to walk boldly and secure with me.
