August and the Mountain

FB Snippet August Mountain.jpg

The month of August is like climbing a mountain. It is a time for reassessing and rechecking our equipment and taking another good look at evaluating where we are in the climb and what it might possibly take to step into the next level of the climb. It is time to endure and cast aside any unnecessary weights that might cause us to stumble. We must be assured that the process of climbing is one step at a time and be determined to journey by faith, encouraging ourselves in the Lord. We know there is still a summit ahead and we aim for the summit and nothing less will suffice. 1Sam.30:6, KJV — ”And David was greatly distressed… but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God.” v.6, Msg — “David strengthened himself with trust in his God.”

August is for God’s Fire to Burn

The month of AUGUST IS FOR GOD’S FIRE TO BURN the worthless things we have incorporated into our values, beliefs and practices; things that have been separated from the pure by His winnowing fork will burn. The fire burns what the sifting has made manifest so that the pure wheat, without mixture, may be profitable for the Master’s use. “He comes with a winnowing fork in his hands and comes to his threshing floor to sift what is worthless from what is pure. And he is ready to sweep out his threshing floor and gather his wheat into his granary, but the straw he will burn up with a fire that can’t be extinguished!” (Matt.3:12,TPT)


August is For Seeing The Intervener

The month of AUGUST IS FOR SEEING THE INTERVENER. INTERVENE: “to come between disputing people, groups, etc.; intercede; mediate; to interfere with force or a threat of force.”  In August, we will cry out to the Lord God and (1) He will intervene for us with people we have not been able to get resolve with. (2) He will intervene and turn our health around. (3) He will intervene in our finances. (4) He will intervene in the unrighteous issues of our nation. (5) He will intervene for Israel.  (Isa.64:4, NET)  “Since ancient times no one has heard or perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who intervenes for those who wait for him.”  This is the month to see the Great Intervener, faithful God.

August-The Month of Moving Forward

August2016Calendar
August is the month of moving forward. May you move away from that which has been nonproductive. May you move away from those things which have weighted you down and may you move into the promises of God which have eluded you to date.

”Let us go forward! And this is what we will do, if God allows.” (Heb.6:3, GNT)
