Changing Message

“Dear friends, I am not writing a new commandment, for it is an old one you have always had, right from the beginning. This commandment—to love one another—is the same message you heard before.” 1 John 2:7 NLT

It is utterly amazing how so many people for so many reasons have tried and continue to try to change or ignore the clear messages of Scripture.

We are cherry pickers and nit pickers. Read the rest of this entry »

The Call of Abraham

And the Lord appeared unto Abram, and said, “Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there built he an altar unto the Lord, who appeared unto him.” –Genesis 12:7

Am I not the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob? Did I abandon Abraham when I asked him to leave his homeland, his family and go to the place that I marked out for him? And did he not experience famine, disappointment and trials on the way? It is true that he experienced this before he even arrived at his destination, yet he continued on this path that I set before him. He went forward as I called him for he knew that I am a God of great promise and provision. I called him to be the father of many nations…and so it was.

Now, I am calling you in this same way that I called Abraham. Do not see your ‘famine in the land’ as a burden too great for Me to handle.

What appears as a very large conflict in your sight is but a small one in Mine, for I see all things from the beginning to the end. I am omniscient and omnipresent, and I see from every angle.

There is nothing hidden from My sight, and nothing in your heart that I don’t see. Keep your faith strong in Me, for I will cause all things to be known to you in due time. You will know what it is I ask of you.

I am working in you to build you and fortify you for the journey ahead.

You will over come any obstacles and road blocks that come in against you just by keeping simple faith in Me.

I will see to it that you over come, for I have already decreed My purpose in you. I have set it to be fulfilled in you, just as I did with Abraham. You will overcome dear ones–not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit. My word cuts through bone and marrow; the spirit and truth and it will bring you into My very promise.

So, be not discouraged on your way when it appears to be marked by dark, or shifting shadows of despair. I am the God of illumination and I will cause your spirit to come up higher in Me when you encounter a famine in the land. Know that I allowed it to cause you to walk into your destiny. I am causing you to be united to Me, knit to My spirit, so that you might do My good purpose as I send you out before Me.

Abraham responded with obedience, trust and faithfulness. As with him, so do I ask it of you.

So, stand strong in My presence; stand in the shadow of My wings. I will cause you to come into My presence and My glory.

Trust Me in this.

You will see My promise born to you, just as Abraham saw My promise born to him when I blessed him with Isaac and made him the father of many nations. Yes, I will bring you into the land that I have called you to, just as I brought Abraham. I will make you great among your descendants, and you will affect the nations of all the earth. I will bring you to a new spiritual place, a new dimension and dwelling in My Spirit and a new territory that I have marked out for you.

Dear ones! When you hear My Call, remember to respond in simple trust.

Simply know that I AM the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and just as I was with them, so I will be with you.

This Is A Season Of Growth

This is the time and the season where I am teaching My children to stand on their own two feet. That means that I am not holding their hands as much as they have been used to.

In past times, I was quick to meet My own with words of encouragement, and I was quick to give them tangible confirmations of My great love for them. But now I am calling My own to a greater level of maturity. Read the rest of this entry »

The earth cries out to declare My glory. Ancient doorways are opening up through the keys to My kingdom. All of Heaven rejoices as My purposes are going forth.

I am sending a release, a refreshing restoration. The breakthrough will be like nothing you have ever experienced. You will rise to a new level of wisdom and understanding. You will soar on new heights. My wings will carry you through this next season.

So, be still. Rest in Me and wait upon Me.
