"In my walks, every man I meet is my superior in some way, and in that I learn from him."- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Habakkuk 2:14 "For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the seas." 2020 is going to be an amazing year of great opportunities for the Kingdom of God. There will be an exponential increase in the glory of God for those who pursue it. Isaiah 56:7 Even them I will bring to My holy mountain, and make them joyful in My house of prayer. Be intentional in focusing on God's glory knowing that you play an intimate role in ushering the glory into the earth – even through your worship, intercession and engagement in activities related to spreading the light of His Presence to people. Don't underestimate the power of just affecting one life. Many focus on the multitude then while waiting miss the opportunity set before them. Make it your aim that wherever you are you will be a conduit of the glory of His Presence.
Get ready to come out of the dry time and the storm of 2019! How enriched are they who find their strength in the Lord; within their hearts are the highways of holiness! Even when their paths wind through the dark valley of tears, they dig deep to find a pleasant pool where others find only pain. He gives to them a brook of blessing filled from the rain of an outpouring. They grow stronger and stronger with every step forward, and the God of all gods will appear before them in Zion. Psalm 84:5–7 TPT Welcome to a new season of a radical outpouring starting this month. The dark valleys of tears and uncertainty are coming to an end. God is bringing a new season of refreshment. As you step away from pain and disappointments, you will find a surprising refreshment spiritually, physically and mentally.
The Kingdom of God has to be processed. It is line upon line and precept upon precept. Here a little and then there a little. It can sound like a good cook at work, yes? It's a learning thing! You can't really go to a restaurant and get all you can eat for a week in one setting. No, logically you need one to three meals a day and that food has to process to all your organs. The organs use that food to process the cells and then those process the activities of life. Of course if you don't eat, or if you eat too much, you put a strain on your system. The same goes with exercise. Too much or too little and you are hurting!
Joseph is another amazing dreamer and dream interpreter of the Bible. His life was literally mapped out by his own God-given dreams and the dreams he interpreted for others. Joseph's dreams foretold his destiny though a map of parabolic metaphor. In time, the powerful imagery revealed meaning that moved his heart and changed the destiny of the dreamer as well as those around him. In short, God used Joseph's dreams to guide him. He gave him the gift of interpretation to lead and guide others, and favor to eventually guide a kingdom.
There are times when justice seems to prevail, times if your due a reward you get it. But it's not always like that. Sometimes life just isn't fair. The Bible says, "I have seen something else under the sun. The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant, or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all. Ecclesiastes 9:11 It says that that the fastest don't always win the race or the strongest the battle. This is true in so many situations. It shouldn't be that way though it should only be fair that they do win the race and the battle.
Have you ever met someone you immediately had a meaningful connection with? What about a whole group of people? I was reminded last week that a little bit of vulnerability can turn complete strangers into good friends.
The other day I realized that the Jewish collection of sacred writ we call the Scriptures was the first feminist manifesto! When I refer to feminist in the context of this article I am describing the celebration, honor, equality and liberty afforded the feminine aspect of humanity called women. (I am not referring to the radical feminist, men-hating agenda prevalent in many circles today.) It is not a coincidence that when we compare women's rights in nations historically influenced culturally by Christianity (especially the Protestant Reformation nations) to nations affected primarily by other religions (such as Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism), there is no comparison!
Do you need deliverance from demonic strongholds or wrong mindsets? We cannot and must not blame everything on a demon. We have responsibility for the mindsets we take on and the freedom we need to receive. So often we relate the word deliverance to demonic entities infiltrating our soul. The definition of deliverance from American Dictionary of the English Language, Webster's Dictionary 1828, is, "release from captivity, slavery, oppression or any restraint." We can hold ourselves in captivity by wrong mindsets.
There is a heavy fog attempting to rest over many forerunners because there is a major increase of wisdom, discernment, divine insight and understanding available to you right now. Push through, you're going higher. There is an incredible increase of the pioneering anointing being released in the body of Christ right now and there are many forerunning what God is going to do and release in the body of Christ in this new era. The Lord showed me that many of these forerunners are carrying significant revelation and wisdom for this new era and what God is going to do, but they have also been battling a fog, a heaviness and almost a disorientation.
Can't figure out how to stop the flow of negative emotions? I have something that may help. I've been a prophetic life coach for many years, and one of the first habit changes I suggest for the people I coach is a very simple one: Flip it and flip it good! It's a way of encouraging people to look for the good in every situation, but it can be easier said than done. Here are a few practical examples of negative emotions you can flip for good starting today!
