Word of the Day
Knowing you are so loved by Me will be irresistible to the unloved, irresistible to all you come in contact with. I will accomplish a two-fold purpose: loving you and drawing others. It is My statement to all the powers that be. I erect My permanent, immovable banner over you, over your life, proclaiming My love for you. While it is immovable, anchored in the blood of My Son, it responds with a fluid movement to the Wind of the Spirit sent to blow across your heart and life.
My banner of love responds in a dance-like movement, creating a unique piece of music by which to orchestrate your life. You must live, move and have your being in Me (Acts 17:28). Never be afraid of shifting winds when you are under the covering of My love. It is in the refusal to shift when I shift that creates a lack of covering, producing an anxious heart. Obedience is better than sacrifice (Isaiah 1:11).
Trust Me to be Lord of the outcome. Dance this dance with Me and if you miss a step or two, like Peter, I will reach down and pick you up (Matt. 14:23-33). Remember, it is the heart I look upon. Let your heart reflect upon My goodness, My attributes and yes even meditate upon what I say about you. It is okay to use My Words to brag out loud about who I say you are. Bragging according to My Word brings rest because you are in agreement with Me. At the same time it releases a power which cannot return void.
My banner consists of all you will ever need. Come and rest under it. Come and be with Me and let the winds of love and change transform your life. Breathe in the very atmosphere of Heaven when you are with Me. Exhale all stale air and old ways and make way for the new. Even now the winds blowing through My banner is releasing freshness and newness of life. Come… Read Complete Love Letter…
“…so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring” (Acts 17:27-28 NKJV)
Prayer
Lord, help me to rest in You in such a way that I am flexible to move with the very wind of heaven. May my heart never be rigid or set in its own way and cause me to miss the simple beauty of loving You. It isn’t as complicated as I sometimes like to make it. Teach me to dance in time to the moving of Holy Spirit and the freedom Your blood bought for me. There is no other banner greater than the blood-stained banner of Your sacrifice. I am anchored in You, my rock and strong foundation. Move through my life and remove every hindrance to freedom and liberty in the Spirit.
Help me to stay flexible, even be fluid, when it comes to responding to You and Your Word. You are indeed Lord of the outcome, for You have already been where I am going. Teach me to dance with You in an uninhibited and totally abandoned way as I proclaim who I am according to Your Word. I am the delight of Your heart and the apple of Your eye. My name is carved in Your hand and I am ever before Your face. I am Yours and You are mine. Amen
Reflect and Journal
- In what areas do you need to shift and embrace God’s perspective?
- Bragging according to His Word is agreement with God, bringing rest and releasing power. You can practically apply this truth to your own life by coming into agreement with Words He has already spoken over you. Sometimes we look for a new Word, having failed to believe the ones He has already spoken. Take some time to reflect and ask Holy Spirit to bring to remembrance what the Lord has said about you personally.
- What areas do you need to overcome by being in agreement with Him?
- Reflect on God’s banner dancing over you, blowing like a piece of sheer fabric in a gentle breeze on a spring day. Take some time to rest in His presence with some instrumental music and listen. What is He saying? What is He singing over you?
