Word of the Day
Beloved, in death, whether it be physical or spiritual in nature, whether it be the death of a dream or vision…there is always an opportunity for resurrection and transformation. I have indeed conquered death in all its forms and in every arena. Therefore, you should never give up for resurrection could be just a heartbeat away.
Sometimes dreams need to go through a process, for if you tried to accomplish them according to what you see at the moment, they will have a tendency to not be fully formed. It is so important to wait and rest but all the while proceed with the clear call of the Gospel to heal the sick and set anyone who is captive free. You can do both. It is not one or the other…your dream or the call all men need to be given over to with their whole heart is Me first and foremost. The rest will follow. I was with My father first, then I was about My father’s business and He was about Mine. It is the same with you.
When you one day pass the bonds of time and are here with Me, I will show you all that I have done through you! Never believe in any way, shape or form that your life is a waste. Don’t ever be discouraged when you think no one sees or cares about what you do. I do and will reward you in ways yet indiscernible to you. Sometimes, people can look at your life…look at your struggles and wonder if there is any blessing your life. When they do this, many times they look for the sin…the reason that all things are not peachy keen. What they do not understand or see is the true riches you have. Your reward is in Me. All comes from Me and ends up in Me.
However, there are many who recognize you are different and precious in so many ways. They see Me in you and the realization that you are MY Beloved One who will stay with them. When they least expect it and just when they need to be encouraged to have faith, I will bring you and all I have done for you back to their remembrance. The faith they remember in you will be ascribed to Me and in turn they will have faith. Faith is contagious and spreads with great intensity to open and seeking hearts.
Yes, you are My child… My beloved and my glory will shine forth through you. My glory will never leave you now or after your flesh has passed away. Stay in awareness of My presence within you every moment and time will not confine you for you have been promised an eternity with Me…and it begins afresh and anew right now. Eternity is bound up or placed in your heart (Ecclesiastes 3:11).
Beloved, when you doubt, remember that I cannot lie and My word does not return void, for I am the same yesterday, today and for ever more. My child, I love you so much and do not want you to in any way let time, struggles or circumstances confine your life or My blessings for you. My word is timeless and precious and so are you.
Therefore, speak to Me. Speak My Word back to Me and remind Me of all I have promised (Isaiah 43:26). When you do this you will see the power and blessings contained in My Word. It is as powerful today as it was when I walked the earth It is unchanging, never-ending and timeless.
Sky and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away. (Matthew 24:35 Amplified)
Heaven and earth will perish and pass away, but My words will not perish or pass away. (Mark 13:31 Amplified)
The sky and the earth (the universe, the world) will pass away, but My words will not pass away. (Luke 21:33 Amplified)
He has made everything beautiful in its time. He also has planted eternity in men’s hearts and minds [a divinely implanted sense of a purpose working through the ages which nothing under the sun but God alone can satisfy], yet so that men cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end. (Ecclesiastes 3:11 Amplified)
Prayer
Lord, I pray and declare myself to be one who remembers You as the Creator of all life…the restorer of all life which includes all emotional, physical, mental and spiritual aspects. Every aspect of my life is being created anew in the natural realm. What is done in the spirit already is becoming manifest on a physical and natural plain.
How could it not be so? How can my dreams, my desires, even my own life not be revived, restored and resurrected by You. After all, You conquered the greatest enemy; death. You conquered death and created life by Your spoken Word. All you have to do to resurrect anything to life is speak the Word. You speak the Word and it is done. I am thankful for You have created me in Your image and I am like You. What I speak is most important and has the power to alter and have great effect both for good and evil. I choose good…good words, good thoughts and a good heart.
I am so grateful for Your willingness to reveal to me how You can create anything from nothing just as You created man from the dust! If dust can form the complex nature of a man, then I can only imagine what else You can do. I need not worry or be anxious for nothing is impossible with You. Therefore, remind me to rest in You and help me to remember how you take care of everything in my life.
Lord, I declare You’re my Provider, my Strength, my Peace, and my Counselor who guides me along the way. Help me to follow the path you’ve set before me, for when I stumble or veer off you become distant or feel out of reach. This I do not want. I want to remain ever close to the beating of Your heart. Help me to be aware of and receive the strength and endurance You have already given to me through the work of the Cross…to go through what You have for me knowing that there is a great reward at the end…knowing your love will never leave me even in physical death because you have risen and prepared a mansion for me.
Help me Lord, to follow the path you have placed before me with a steadfast spirit. May I will always be a willing vessel for You to use to reach the lost and to glorify the Father. May my life become an example of one filled with compassion and power in order to touch others so they in turn are drawn close to You as ones who glorify Your name. Use me Lord. Work through me for Your glory! I’ve always wondered why people have said or thought I am different or strange. I thought something was wrong with me at times early on but You’ve shown me that I’m different because I don’t belong to this world. My home is in Heaven with You. Thank You for showing me I’m not a misfit and that there’s nothing wrong with me. Thank you for calling me the apple of your eye and the delight of Your heart. I choose to agree and as a result I will walk through this life as a manifest delight of Your Heart. Amen.
Reflect and Journal
1. What area in your life, family, job or any other thing needs to experience resurrection life in a practical way and in natural places with supernatural power?
2. Have you in any way tried to be about your business…even the business or calling you have received from the Lord without being all about Him first and foremost. How has this looked in natural sense in your life? What have you been doing naturally to pursue the call before or more than the Call Giver?
3. Have you been discouraged in any way because you feel others do not see, know or recognize what you do? Personally, I cannot even count the countless hours I have spent in my snuggly pajamas writing, answering emails and so on that no one knows about; yet, the Lord knows and will show me the results when I pass from this life into a new dimension of eternity. The question is this– is it enough for Him to know and say well done…is it enough to know eternal things are being accomplished though we do not see them in the natural? Ask yourself the question. Ask yourself, “Is it enough?”
4. Reflect on the Lord, love on Him and then remind Him of all the promises He has personally spoken to your heart. Take time to write them down so the vision is plain to see.
