Spring Forth!

This song is one that lifts me in my wilderness wanderings, encourages me to keep it simple, keep waiting in faith and the joy of the Lord. Makes me dance too.

Isaiah 35:1-2;10 says that:

v1 The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them. And the desert shall rejoice, and  blossom as the rose.
v2  It shall blossom abundantly and rejoice Even with joy and singing:
v10 And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, And come to Zion with songs And everlasting joy upon their heads: They shall obtain joy and gladness, And sorry and sighing shall flee away. 

Isaiah 43:18-19

v18 Remember ye not the former things, Neither consider the things of old.
v19 Behold, I will do a new thing; Now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, And rivers in the desert.

Beloved, be encouraged by this word, this song, and the Lord. We have the DNA that makes us all that we are in Christ. No matter the stage, the DNA is there. The word of God is that incorruptible seed that goes forth and will not return void. It will accomplish what He has sent it to do.

John 15:16

v16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chose you, and ordained you, that you should go and bring forth much fruit, and that your fruit shall remain: whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you. 

Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you that you are God. No matter what it looks like, you are always orchestrating things in the supernatural realm. Help us to see as you see with the eyes of faith. What is not yet, is in the spirit, for we belong to you. Let your kingdom come and let your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Thank you for Jesus Christ who was three days and three nights in the heart of the earth, seemingly dead, but arose from the dead by the resurrection power of the Holy Spirit, that selfsame spirit which dwells within each one of us who are called by your name.

Vision

Vision

And the Lord answered me, and said
Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it;
because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

Habakkuh 2:2-3

I see myself as a woman of faith.
One who can stare at death in the face.
A daughter of Zion who never stays down,
But looks to her King wearing a priceless crown.

A woman with scars, yes, one who can feel.
But now they remind her, by His stripes she's healed!
Not perfect, but knowing that one day she'll see,
the beauty of His face for all eternity.
A woman who trips and occasionally falls,
But lifts her eyes to Calvary where Christ paid it all.

She gleans through His letter of love as her own,
And looks to Him...to Him seated high on the throne.
She has walked through some valleys, seen shadows of death,
Hand in hand with her Savior, where He leads her to rest.

When darkness abounds and life's sea billows roll,
She remembers the Good Shepherd in sovereign control.
Surely goodness and mercy follow close behind,
Teaching her in the way, line upon line.

Lord, I see myself, as I gaze deep in your eyes,
Oh, such loveliness are you, once rejected, bruised and despised.
What a shame you had to die, to drink such a bitter cup.
But when you laid your life down, you said,
"For your sins, I will sup."

But a marvelous thing happened after all finished that final hour.
On the third day you rose up in Resurrection Power!

Now an heiress to your throne, I stand complete in you,
I have resurrection power inside, perpetually making me new.
I shall not fear, what can man ever do to me?

I am a daughter of El Elyon, the Most High God, you see.
I am commissioned, chosen by God to do His good pleasure.
To live a sojourner in this world as His peculiar treasure.
Bearing witness that Christ is alive to save the sin-sick soul.
To repair the enemy's breach of death,
To love and see lives whole.

Not even death could hold you.
Your love is stronger than the grave.
Who could ever resist such love,
For this Lord, I give you all the praise!

To the Only Wise God

Hebrews 10:35-36
v35  Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward.
v36  (my paraphrase) For I have need of patience so that after I have done the will of God, I might receive the promise.

Every now and then, more now, my soul needs a glimpse of Heaven and eyes need to stay fixed on our champion Jesus Christ, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, despising the shame. He remains on the throne of glory. When everything is being shaken, and things seemingly aren't fitting together, remember we have a wise God, The Only Wise God, our Father.

To the one who sits high upon the throne, to Him be glory honor to Him alone. Thank you Abba.

God Blocked It!

God Blocked It!! I can't get this song out of my spirit today. He blocked my travels...not once, but twice in the same weekend. That is okay because He knows what's best for me. I only lost cab fare. More importantly, an impending situation in my family was blocked by His grace. His ways are unsearchable. How else could He bring  people together who were not exactly talking to one another the way family should? He allowed the flood of overwhelming circumstances to push us together, because together is the only way we win. How else could He get our attention but by allowing the billows to crash against our ship we thought we had under control? How else could He cause my heart to praise Him more?

God Blocked It! When no human intervention could reason it out, when no lawyer could work it out, where no judge could act more justly than the Lord who is our Wonderful Counselor. Jesus just said, Peace Be Still. Hallelujah!!

Yes, this is my story, in part. Is it ever finished? No, just growing from glory to glory.

There were dangers awaiting me
Destruction was sure to be
But thank God for Angels
That were shielding and protecting
And looking out for me
Thank You Lord
The Devil had a plan to kill me, I know
But God intercepted his plan
And told the devil, no
God blocked it
He wouldn't let it be so

Haven't lived a perfect life
Seems I've done wrong more than I've done right
But thank God for compassion and forgiveness
That kept me from a terrible plight
You see, my life was spinning out of control
The fact that I'm still a live today
Ain't nothing, nothing but a miracle...

Dear Lord,

I don't know where to begin or end! Thank you does not express my gratitude for who you are. Thank you for ordering my steps perfectly. Though I want to understand why and cannot see, I know your hand is leading me. Help me love you more Lord, in all I say in do, that others may desire to love, thank, and bless you too.

Eternally yours,
Amen
