Not Lose Grip On Word

grip WordAs the people of God assemble today, may they hear and feed upon the life-giving, life-enhancing, life-changing Word of God. May they take it out the door with them and into the week ahead. May they not lose their grip on it and may Its effective truth stick to them like glue through the whole week, through every circumstance, through every encounter.

“Now these are the ones sown among thorns; they are the ones who hear the word, 19 and the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. 20 But these are the ones sown on good ground, those who hear the word, accept it, and bear fruit: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred.” (Mk.4:18-20, 

 

Set Up For Profitable Progress

grabbing someoneMay the Lord keep you from circumstances, events and people that would hold you back from any form of progress that would cause you to be blessed and to be a proper representative of His purposes. May the hand that reaches out to clutch you, detain you and taint you with undesirable identity, lose its grip. And may the Lord delightfully set you up for profitable progress.

“From one disaster after another he delivers you;  no matter what the calamity, the evil can’t touch you—”Job 5:19 (Msg)

Go Look Again

As Melissa sang “Go look again because it’s the year of the cloud,” I began to weep as the significance of her Look at distancedeclaration mushroomed in my understanding.   It is time for those manifestation-of-God changes.  That tiny cloud marks the beginning of change coming, so watch for it.  Go look again and again until you see it!  Of course the cloud the size of a man’s hand references the time in 1Kings 18 when God supernaturally showed up.  It marks a time when a project orchestrated by God and His prophet came to completion and brought change in the earth. Go look again.

Standing For My Family

large familyI am still standing on this Scripture for my household (my whole family), that the life-giving Message of Holy Scripture will save them all (Acts 11:14). And that the Holy Ghost would fall on them (v.15) so that those watching their lives might glorify God (v.18).
“He will give and explain to you a message by means of which you and all your household [as well] will be saved [from eternal death].” (Acts 11:14, Amp)

grew up with accepted Jesus yesterday!  I had, in fact, just prayed for
him and his brother two weeks ago.  Keep praying and standing on the Word.)

The Year Of The Cloud

On a recent Sunday,  I was caught up in the sounds that seemed to beat with the pulse of God and my spirit was stirred.  Melissa began to cloudprophesy in song.  The words whirled within me, round and round, “Hallelujah, You make all things new and You will come like the rain.  So, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain.”  At first, I could not explain the tears spilling onto my cheeks nor the strange mixture of gratefulness and anticipation tumbling inside my chest.  Then my understanding began to open with the next words she sang, “Go look again, go look again.  Is the sky clear over you?  Then go look again.  Is the sky clear over you, no sign of rain over you?  Go look again because it’s the year of the cloud.  It’s the year of the cloud the size of a man’s hand.” (1Kings 18:44)

Consider The Name Of The Lord

prayer_look upHow often do we give consideration and priority to the named thing that is against us?  We give our thoughts and emotions to the illness and speak of it, then we put our thoughts and hopes on treatments. We give our attention to the financial threat that looms over us and then we put our thoughts on a possible raise or some sort of financial windfall. We worry about a loved one or a friend and long for the day they surrender to the LORD. But we would do well to give priority to consideration of the Name of the LORD. His Name speaks of His capabilities, who He is and His character. While we are concerned about the other things and people, let’s first consider the Name of the LORD, call on the Name, and then approach the situation with the assurance of His intervention that glorifies His Name.

“Our help is in the name of the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.” (Ps.124:8, NKJV)

The Four-Lettered Word, Time

clocksProphets carry a lot of “wait” in the earth.  It seems they are always waiting to see what they’ve seen, touch what they have felt and hear what they have heard.  TIME can be the most dreaded or most beloved four-letter word.  So, nothing thrills me more than when God’s due-time converges with His plans and projects and processes in our lives.

What Is Worthy Of My Focus?

focus cameraWhen God has given us a promise and witness by the Holy Spirit (2Cor.1:22), why then do we get discouraged or give up? The witness has not been removed. It is, however, that we are now looking at and listening to that which we perceive has interrupted or canceled promise.

There seems to exist some perverted rule which says, “That which bullies its way in gets to stay.” Those defeating thoughts and doubts which demand to be considered begin to take the forefront and will eventually replace the words and witness of promise. It is that prophetic gift which comes to remind us that God’s Word holds the highest priority of consideration. We must ask ourselves, “What has priority? What is worthy of our focus? What will destroy promise? What will sustain promise? What will launch me into the season I belong in? And which am I entertaining?”

In His Envelope

envelope2May the Lord bless His people today. May they be kept in safety and, LORD, in your envelope of love and favor. May their efforts to get their job done be effective beyond the energy and skill that they put into it because they and their righteous efforts are blessed by the touch of your hand. May they sense the companionship and help of your precious Holy Spirit with everything they face and everyone they must deal with today.

Rowing Against The Wind

When God gives a promise He gives a witness of the Holy Spirit in our hearts. “He… put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come” (2Co rowing in storm1:22). We allow pressures and delay to smother the witness, of the Holy Spirit, to promise. When we are on our way to the fulfillment of promise and the wind is not at our backs, the tendency is to turn around and go back so that we are not opposed by the wind. Rowing with the wind is much easier than rowing against the wind. But winds of opposition will come from the enemy because he does not want the promise of God to be fulfilled in us. If it is fulfilled in us it will not only revolutionize our lives but it will also bless those around us. It will advance the Kingdom of God. The wind will resist our shifting into a new season.
