Word of the Day
I have and I am continually going before you to prepare the way, just like a good shepherd in the natural goes before the sheep to scout out green pastures, clean water, and eradicate enemies. Beloved it is my desire to lead you to large places and high planes among the mountains of relationship with Me (Psalms 118:5 Psalms 18:19). I have furnished all you will ever need. I have set everything in order.
I do not send you ahead of Me and I never will. I loved first, gave first, suffered first, sacrificed first, died first, rose first and ascended first in order to prepare your way. The Father sent Me and I willingly came to scout out and to make a way to bring you to the high plains of relationship once again.
A good shepherd scouts out the mountains for plains or tables of fresh green pasture to feed his sheep. I do the same. David knew this about Me because He was a shepherd. He went before them to find the best pasture, provide water and destroy the enemy. I have done the same. Yes, I have gone before you and rid the pasture of your enemy. I vanquished him, took his power, his authority and I gave it to you. Now that you are at My table it is My job to protect you as a shepherd would his sheep while they feast on what he has provided.
Look at it this way. As you feast on My pasture (My Word) and digest it, you are strengthened in faith. And, what did I say about faith the size of a mustard seed? Yes, you know. It is a faith seemingly small beyond measure yet able to overcome the world and the evil one.
I have given you My Word to take captive and overcome the poisonous thoughts planted by the enemy (2 Corinthians 10:5). He wishes to plant tares in your heart and mind, and I say, ?NO!? You must take all thoughts captive. Remember, I went before you to prepare a way, stripping him of his power. Do not let him fool you. All is done by the Spirit and not by might and power (Zechariah 4:6). I am making some crooked paths straight and rough paths smooth (Luke 3:5). Don?t leave the table, the pasture found only in the high places with Me, before you have feasted on all I want to give you.
Know this! My Word is your pasture. I am the Living Water and the enemy has been destroyed. Give him no more place for your Waymaker is here today to prepare the way….Read Complete Love Letter…
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my [brimming] cup runs over (Psalms 23:5 Amplified)A man’s mind plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps and makes them sure (Psalms 16:9 Amplified)
Prayer
Lord, You have gone before me to prepare the way. All my crooked paths are made straight and all my rough ways are now smooth. I choose to graze in Your pastures. Thank you for going ahead of me. Thank you for preparing a place for me to eat and be filled. Your Word is life to me and healing to my soul. I feast on Your Word and take it into my heart, into my spirit. I digest it into the very fabric of my life.
I have faith and overcome all contrary thoughts by taking them captive. By Your Word every tare of unbelief is removed from my heart, and I walk uprightly and pleasing to You in every respect. I give the enemy of my soul no place today for I am obedient to the Word of Life. Even today the way is being prepared for me to accomplish Your purposes for me. I follow You, my Waymaker. Amen.
Reflect and Journal
1. Looking back, can you see how He has gone before to prepare the way and enable you to be where you are today? Contemplate with a heart of gratefulness all He has done?
2. What areas do you need direction in today? Do you have paths which seem unclear and in need of guidance. Reflect on them as you feast on His Word. Write down any impressions or thoughts.
