May the Lord cleanse your body of
harmful toxins and clean your blood system.
“…if they drink any deadly poison, it will
not hurt them…”(Mk.16:18b, GW)

“LET IT RAIN”
Do we set a bad atmosphere with our thoughts or emotions or words, or does the atmosphere hunt us down to dictate our thoughts or emotions or words? I believe the answer is both. We certainly have the ability to create an atmosphere for ourselves and everyone around us. One person’s impatience in a waiting room can have everyone tense and walking on 
eggshells in a matter of seconds. One person’s panic can clear a room. Our expectations, meditations, fears or our mouthing against self can fill the air until it is lethal. However, not only people are able to condition an atmosphere. The devil is called “the prince of the power of the air” (Eph.2:2) for a reason. He is skilled at blowing in a foul wind to influence people and situations. The Old Testament word “ruach” is translated “spirit” most often, but it means “wind” or “breath”. In the New Testament, the same word is “pneuma”. A spirit or wind can carry a contradiction to the will of God into an atmosphere by blowing in a lie or fear or threat or opinion or accusation, etc. The air becomes its infected storage place so that it can affect and influence thoughts and feelings when it finds an advantage, an open window. Just as we breathe in air unconsciously, we can also come under the influence of what’s in the air unconsciously. It can become an influence over our emotions and thoughts and decisions.

May the people of God develop the habit of
interjecting a positive outlook when we
discover ourselves in the midst of mindless
and hopeless drivel.
“When everything was hopeless, Abraham
believed anyway, deciding to live not on the
basis of what he saw he couldn’t do but on
what God said He would do. ” (Rom.4:18a, Msg)

When I heard “and the moment before” it was one of those defining moments that declares God is in charge and that He has the last word on all that concerns me. (The fact that He takes time to define a moment in our life is a shot of impacting love.) Those defining moments bring a clarity that pierces every other influence we may be under. The subtle snare is how easy it is to come under the influence of a thought, an emotion or an atmosphere and be in agreement before we even realize we had a choice not to. Recently, I realized this as I was packing to leave for a few days of meetings. The phone rang and the host pastor mentioned something in passing that really had nothing to do with the meetings, but it bothered me. My excitement for the trip was slammed. A slammed, emotional state is an open window for an unwanted wind of influence to enter and preside. Of course, we can choose not to allow the influence over our mood or our day, but emotion can swing from excitement to dread so quickly that the will does not get involved until it too is under the same influence. Then once the mind is under the influence of a negative atmosphere, it is amazing how your whole world is suddenly mulligrub grey.

May the Lord help us to not speak when it would be wiser to
just listen in particular settings; and may we trust the Lord
to handle the outcome of what we felt was so important to
say in those settings.
“And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business,
and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;”

Though I didn’t realize it, that worshipful, prophetic declaration that day at the piano was also a cry from my heart for a moment of comfort and quietness that would shut out all the noise of need and concern and “what-ifs.” The awesome Spirit of my God did not miss nor ignore that heart-cry. If desperation had my ship listing, His four-word echo set me aright. If anxiety was smothering, His words brought me a deep breath. If time was threatening, His words turned the clock back. If I feared I was at an unchangeable end, hope took me back to a new beginning. He was reminding me that before circumstances piled up, before dysfunction developed, before trouble troubled, He had seen it coming, and He had the table set for me before my enemies even got there. When I said, “You are the Lord of this moment” and He echoed, “And the moment before,” it was a powerful reminder that His provision is there before the problem.

As the people of God assemble today, may each person realize the importance of, and see the value of their place as, a lively stone in the household of God. May they fit appropriately into the wall where the Lord God has set them and augment the local work and the other lively stones they have been set with.
“Present yourselves as building stones for the construction of a sanctuary vibrant with life, in which you’ll serve as holy priests offering Christ-approved lives up to God.” (1Pe.2:5, Msg)
May the Lord grant you a sudden good break
that brings you much needed relief.
Proverbs 13:12 (MSG) ” Unrelenting
disappointment leaves you heartsick, but a
sudden good break can turn life around.”
I sat alone downstairs at the piano, not really playing any particular song but simply flowing in sounds that came with His presence. I did not intend to sing but these words slipped out of my heart, “You are the Lord of this moment.” As soon as my words met the air, like an echo response I heard, “AND THE MOMENT BEFORE.” I could not have explained the sudden weeping had anyone overheard it, for it was a gusher from my heart outside my logic or understanding. Then when my understanding did open, the weeping would not stop. It was a powerful reminder that His provision is there before the problem.

May the Lord grant us wisdom in our minds,
purity in our hearts and power in our hands
to be and do all that He has mandated us to
do in a lifetime.
“My goal in giving you this order is for love
to flow from a pure heart, from a clear
conscience, and from a sincere faith.”
(1Tim.1:5, GW)
