Word Of The Day
Beloved, I give you permission to believe in fairy tales…to believe in your dreams once relegated to being nothing more than a fairy tale…to believe in something much larger than life itself…something much larger than your own abilities or lack thereof. I give you permission to believe there is a King who rides on a white horse (Revelation 19:11).
I give you permission to recapture your childlike heart and believe…to recapture your childlike heart and see beyond the natural realm into a realm where all is prepared…to see into a kingdom where the orchestra of Heaven is playing…where angels are waiting to serenade. Permission to believe My promises are yes and amen (2 Corinthians 1:20).
It will be like stepping out of a dimly lit elevator straight into a magnificent ball room. Elevators are necessary to get you to the top floor and in your case all things have been and will be used for good, creating an elevator which will lift you up floor by floor until you reach the “Big Dance”.
Up until now our communion together has been one of intimate gentleness of heart as I expressed My love for you regardless of your frustrations…in spite of your unwillingness to hear at times because the things I spoke to you—promised you…seemed so hard to believe in light of your ever- present and very visible circumstances. Listen carefully, for I am reiterating the promises of old. I am coming on My white horse.
After that I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse [appeared]! The One Who was riding it is called Faithful (Trustworthy, Loyal, Incorruptible, Steady) and True, and He passes judgment and wages war in righteousness (holiness, justice, and uprightness) (Revelation 19:11 Amplified)
Prayer
Father I praise you for I am growing like a cedar, strong and majestic showing Your glory to the world. I am so thankful You have given me favor with You. Although this is very foreign to me based on some of the things I have experienced, I choose to receive Your favor in my own eyes so I can in turn see myself as You see me.
In receiving all You have for me, I am able to see others in a whole new light and truly love my neighbor as myself. I reach out to You Lord and touch You by faith embracing all You desire to reveal to me. The ears of my heart are open. I listen with an obedient heart to all Your promptings and encouraging words of love. You abide in the depths of my spirit and flow out of me in streams of living water…water which speaks the desire of Your heart for my life and the lives of others.
Yes, I praise You for You always near to me, for You truly are in me as I am in You. By faith I hear Your every word with clarity more and more as the day pass. My trust and confidence in You are growing continually as I seek Your face and meditate on Your word. Thank you for watching over Your Word to perform it according to Your plan for my life. I see Your powerful hand being revealed on a daily basis and I am grateful. Thank You for opening the eyes of my heart and letting me see what You see. In doing this I am able to enter into that deep and intimate communion with You, for I am truly and unconditionally loved. Amen.
Reflect and Journal
1. In what ways, areas or attitudes have you felt stuck in an elevator between floors wondering if you would ever make it to the top floor or any floor for that matter.
2. What promises and or dreams have you given up on or left unattended that He wants to bring to fruition in your life?
Hi Brenda,
I Was having a wonderful day, all morning I kept singing that song, ‘Free’ free to sing, free to dance, on and on.
Anyway I received my first email from you about Can I Have This Dance.
I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for being obedient to GOD with this website. I’ve been trying to learn to hear GOD’S voice. I think maybe He was talking to me through this letter. I went to sleep hugging my blanket and telling GOD I was holding His neck and how very much I LOVE HIM. I LOVE YOU to Brenda, I accidentally ran across the site and have been so blessed. I think I’ve told everyone I know about it.
Once again thank you. One last thing. I put a prayer request actually the same request but 4 times. Do you read them personally are are they just generated like most churches?
Always your friend Susie
Susie,
Thank you for being a part of Journals. You have encouraged me more than you can ever know…what a blessing.
And yes, I personally read all the prayer request and pray…then I send them to the Prayer Warriors who have volunteered to pray for all those in need who come here…you are not lost in cyberspace.
Blessings to you Susie…In The Love of Christ…Brenda
