I heard the Lord say today "Sing over the unrested parts of your heart." I saw many in the body of Christ battling with "unrest" in their hearts for different reasons. These places of the heart were battling with fear, anxiety, doubt and many other things. I watched as hearts swirled inside, but the swirling was not sent by the Lord. It was a swirling caused by issues of the past, areas the enemy was triggering, and places of uncertainty.
Psalm 63:5 "My soul will be satisfied as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth will praise You with joyful lips." We live in a society that is geared to look for satisfaction in so many things – whether it is in what they have, where they live, a title, power or who they are associated with. But there is only one place we can find contentment and our true identity. That place and person is God Himself. When you truly find satisfaction in the Presence of God nothing else really matters. One of the Ten Commandments is "thou shalt not covet." What is covetousness? It is the yearning to possess something and never being satisfied with what you have. It is a continual cycle of dissatisfaction.
"Daughters of kings are among your honored women; at your right hand is the royal bride in gold of Ophir." Psalms 45:9 "Now the king was attracted to Esther more than to any of the other women, and she won his favor and approval more than any of the other virgins. So he set a royal crown on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti." Esther 2:17 There's nothing more charming than a woman in love, preparing to wed the man of her dreams, except when that woman is the beloved and beautiful Bride of Christ who is smitten with her King! In Psalms 45 we read about an upcoming royal wedding where the queen wears a one-of-a-kind stunning gold gown.
When I was little I told my parents I wanted to be a "chireman." I couldn't say "fireman" at the time, but that wasn't going to stop me from saving people from burning buildings. Then it was Batman. Then it was a full-time musician. I'm none of those things now (though I'm still working on the Batman part), and that's totally okay. It's okay that you aren't doing what you dreamed you would be doing.
Dear one, I am calling you to My side to walk with Me and to talk with Me in the cool of the day. Come morning or evening I want to be with you as a way of life of close communion with you for these are the latter days, and you need to know Me not to know of Me but to know Me intimately. Many have gone off to do their own thing and have left Me out. They think they are still walking with Me but they are following after a counterfeit spirit that they think is Me.
There is a story in the bible about a great man of faith named Abraham. Abraham and his wife Sarah left their families and even their country trusting the Lord at His word to bless them and make them a great nation. In Genesis chapter seventeen the Lord appeared to him when he was ninety-nine years old and told him that his wife Sarah was going to have a baby boy the following year. She would be ninety and he would be one hundred years old. Abraham fell on his face and laughed. Although he was a man of faith, this sounded ridiculous to him.
This writing is a little different than what most of you are used to seeing from me. We are shifting the focus of the ministry slightly and gearing it more towards helping people take the gifts and talents God has given them and applying those to your natural life so that you can be successful. You will see that my writings are going to become more practical, things that you can immediately apply to your life today. It doesn't mean they won't have a prophetic element but that the prophetic element will be displayed through showing you how you can take what you know and be successful in your family, business, career, and all aspects of your personal life.
Because of embedded prejudices, discussing patriarchy is often not a subject for honest and considerate dialogue. First, we need to state the problem. The problem of gender and racial in-equality affects most of the Church, every day. (Maybe not in your place, but most places.) Patriarch looms everywhere -- it hides beneath the foundation of much of what is commonly accepted. We must study to discover God's creational intention for all humanity, and stop repeating the confining rhetoric that pious men have said for centuries.
I was listening to a book on audio this morning, as I often do, and the author quoted what he called an old Montana saying. It went like this, "The time to have the map is before you enter the woods." The premise of the quote is that you want to be prepared with instruction BEFORE you enter into a situation where you need instruction, which makes total sense when you're thinking logically and practically. But shortly after hearing this quote, immediately I had to pause the audio book because God started speaking on the matter.
According to the Chinese zodiac calendar, 2018 is considered to be the year of the dog. I would like to submit to you that 2018 is not the year of the dog, but rather the year of the Ox. I feel the Father urging me to share with his sons and daughters that there is great significance in this being the year of the Ox. The Father says, "No longer will my sons and daughters eat the crumbs that fall under the table. No more!" Many of you are like the Ox, for you have been carrying heavy burdens. While oxen are known for their strength and hard work, they also bear responsibilities while carrying heavy loads.
