Word of the Day
The table I prepare for you is in a place where most people might not want their table to be. Your table is placed before your enemy in a place easily viewed by him. I display my eternal victory in and through you.
I came and did the Father’s will. I ate from the Father’s table in the presence of My enemies to overcome on your behalf. I suffered much, endured many struggles, and every temptation on your behalf. I did this all smack dab in the presence of those who hated Me and I won. So have you.
I have set a table for you in this world as a grand display of My love, a grand display of your favor among the enemies camp. Remember, you are not of this world and are seated already in heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6). Your table is already seated where I am. Now all you have to do is feast and do what you see Me doing.
Who is your enemy: fear, distress, oppression, lust of the flesh, lust of the eye, the pride of life, anger, malice, selfishness, hatred, hopelessness, lies and deceit etc? These things seek to bind you up, draw your attention away from My table, and convince you there is no possible way to live life more abundant.
I was manifest to destroy the works of the evil one and so are you. In order to do this, you must walk in the spirit and use My Word(1 John 3:8). Focus on Me and don’t for a second take your eyes of Me or the Word. It is your manna, your bread. Ah…yes, it is your favor, your strength, your hope and your sure guarantee that I am greater in you than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). Stay close under the shelter of My wings, My Word and do not wander from My secure embrace.
I am taking you to some gourmet pastures in the days to come and I do not want you to miss it by wandering on the fringes of your purpose and calling. When you are close to Me things are safer, clearer, and full of light. While you eat at the table I have prepared for you, I will protect you from the enemy. I announce My great love for you by displaying your great favor with signs and wonders in the presence of all your enemies.
Arise and see the teeth of the wicked shattered (Psalms 3:7). See the horse and rider thrown into the sea (Exodus 15:1). How it delights Me to see you walk upon the heights of My pasture, eat contentedly while displaying My power and authority among the presence of your enemies. Come and be filled.
And He raised us up together with Him and made us sit down together [giving us joint seating with Him] in the heavenly sphere [by virtue of our being] in Christ Jesus (the Messiah, the Anointed One) (Ephesians 2:6 Amplified)
Prayer
No enemy can withstand the mighty presence of Your name Lord. The enemy flees in all directions at the mention of Your name. There is no fear in You. Victory is the only option. Success is the only outcome. I walk in favor and the great demonstration of Your love each and every day. I have strength, favor, hope and a sure guarantee and I know you will never leave or forsake me in the presence of my enemy. You defend me, contend for me and protect me. I am Yours. While I eat at Your table in the presence of my enemy, You rise up on my behalf. Let signs and wonders fill my life as an example of Your favor and love. I come to the table with a heart of courage that I may be filled. Amen
Reflect and Journal
1. He is taking you to some gourmet pastures of love and revelation. What does this mean to you and how will you respond?
2. In what areas do you need courage?
3. What things have been exposed in your life and are therefore subject to manifest the presence of the Son of God. He wants you to come in to agreement with Him and see the schemes destroyed your life?
When we pray for help in a certain area, whether it be for courage or to love others, our God does not just give it to us, He gives us opportunities to improve on what we want to. This is the greatness of our God. O how wonderful He is!
We should ask Him to hold our hand and walk us through everything, because we are in need of His help always.
A lot of people say that things are awesome, so when we say that our God is awesome, it really does not mean anything, since everything is awesome, at least that is what we say. The true meaning of awe is fear mixed with wonder. Awesome truly does suit our God, so He is the only person we should use awesome for.
God Bless
I truly love the book of Ephesians! Being the visual person that I am, whenever I read Eph 2:6 (we ARE seated in heavenly places), I think of a gathering of all the saved souls from all time, all the Heavenly Host seated with God the Father and Jesus Christ in a massive auditorium watching a ginormous movie screen. In the spirit, we are all watching each of our victories as they happen in the natural! There is a tremendous, uprorious and emotionally joy-filled eruption of all present when we first give our lives to Jesus, choose obedience over disobedience, put others before ourselves, praise and worship God and lead an unsaved person to the throne of grace. Angels are high-fiving each other, there are shouts of joy and absolutely no sorrow! I can just see Jesus, with tears of joy in His eyes, leaning over to say, “Beloved, it truly was a joyous day when you gave your life to Me! I am so overjoyed that you are here with me!” The only thing that can equal hearing those words of our Lord is to be engulfed in the warm embrace of our Savior; the King of Everything! Selah!
