Word of the Day
Beloved I use the crook of My staff and pull you into the safety of My comfort and care. When you move outside the boundaries I have set for protection, I pull you in. I left the ninety-nine for the one and I will not delay in coming after you no matter what.
I am with you from beginning to end in all things. I cannot leave. I cannot forsake (Psalms 91:14). There is no shadow of turning in Me (James 1:17). I am incapable of perpetrating injustice, rejection, or abandonment in any form. I am Comforter, Counselor and Mighty Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6). Though all should reject or neglect to give comfort, I will not. Even if your mother should forsake you, I will take you up (Psalms 27:10).
I am taking the crook of My staff and pulling you into the deepest recess of My heart, My presence, within the veil. I am nudging you, wooing you, pulling you in to a fearless self-examination of your own heart, empowering you to take up My Cross in a new and victorious way.
With My staff, the Holy Spirit, I nudge you, woo you, rescue you, protect you. I use it to pull you away from dangerous situations not discerned by you. When you sense the inclination to draw back and wait, My staff, Holy Spirit is at work. I am teaching you to respond more quickly in the days to come. It is necessary. A season of intense nudging and pulling is upon you for I need you sharp and discerning in the days to come.
As a result of this work you will take all I do for you in this season to the world around you. To do this, you must KNOW Me, really know Me. Therefore, in the days to come I am going to use My rod (the Word) and My staff (the Holy Spirit) in an increased manner to bring you into the fullness of all I have planned. Today and every day is your destiny. Won’t you take time for Me. Leave the busyness of life for a few moments and let the crook of My staff embrace you. Don’t have any preconceived ideas about what I wish to do. Just come and you will be amazed at the changes I will work in such a short time. Come now!
And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever?(John 14:16 Amplified)
Prayer
The Lord is my comforter, my friend and Holy Spirit counsels me, guides me like. The staff of My Good Shepherd works for my good. I respond to His wooing, His pulling, His nudges me and I stay within the boundaries of His protection. I am never forsaken by Him and I live within the shelter of the Most High, within the embrace of the Father.
Peace rules in my heart and all anxious thoughts and worries melt in His presence, for He takes care of me. I surrender all desire to wander from the fold in order to do things my own way. I surrender all to Him. His Word is working in my heart right now, bringing me into the fullness of love that I might fulfill destiny in my everyday life. My destiny is not for a future day. It is for now and I am walking in it. Amen
Reflect and Journal
1. Have you moved outside the boundaries of His protection in any way be it through doubt, unbelief or desire to do it your own way?
2. Reflect on being pulled in by Him to be embraced by His great love. What does this mean to you?
