"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.
Taste and see that I, the Lord, am good. Blessed is the one that trusts Me and makes their abode in Me. Many choose to place their trust in many things and choose only to come to Me as a last resort but if you choose to place Me first in all things, I will give you all that you need and take care of beforehand every situation that may arise bringing good out of it. I am the Master Builder. If you allow Me to build your house, it will never crumble and fall. You will have a sure foundation and a safe one that the enemy can never steal, kill or destroy from.
Over the last few weeks, I have been feeling the Lord's heart to encourage those who are in and have been in the battle places, more than ever. The heart of the Lord has gripped me strongly as I have felt His love and His encouragement for these battle-weary saints. As I sat with the Lord, I heard the Lord speaking over these ones, "I am restoring your roar." The Lord then showed me that these battle-weary saints have lost their roar in the battle. They have lost their voice and the ferociousness that they once walked in because the battle has been so intense, but the Lord is moving in power to restore the roar of these battle-weary ones.
Sometimes I wonder how the early disciples felt after Jesus left this earth. They were in awe after seeing the wounds in His hands and feet. They had never been more convinced that He was God in the flesh. Yet they probably battled fear and discouragement because He left them alone when He ascended into heaven. Jesus told them He was sending the power of the Holy Spirit, but what would that look like? They had no idea what was next. Jesus didn't give them a script. There was no church bulletin to explain that a rushing wind would blow at 9 a.m., or that flames would rest on their heads at 9:05 a.m., or that they would speak in strange languages at 9:10 a.m.
What is the difference between "worship" and "prophetic worship?" Of course, everything that we do in life should be an act of worship to the Lord. Worship is not really rooted in what we do, but in who we are. We are worshippers. We worship God because of Who He is and what He has done. The Father is looking for those who will worship Him in spirit and in truth. That occurs as we realize who we are. We are His priests. The priestly life is in devotion, consecration and heart commitment to the Lord through a life of worship.
Have you ever prayed and asked God one thing, and He seemed to answer with something that was totally off-topic? For most of my adult life, I felt this way when I prayed about my life's calling or direction. My prayer would always start out something like this: "God, I know You've called me to write, but it feels like there is something specific I should be writing. Would You show me, please God? Call, and I will do whatever You want me to do." Eventually, God would answer, but it seemed His answers to my plea for direction were totally incongruous with what I thought I was asking.
"For the zeal of Your house has consumed me, and the insults of those who insulted You fell on me"(Ps. 69:9). What is it that stirs your soul to stand against the enemies of God? What reason do you have to raise your voice and cry for justice? Is it a mere idea that you hold dear? A just cause you uphold? What is it that burns in your belly that would cause you to cry out for those who are being sacrificed at the altar of Baal? What does it take for you to rise up and take action against those who defy the Lord by eating their own children and drinking their own blood?
The Lord recently gave me a powerful prophetic dream. In the dream, I was walking into a church with a group of my friends. Some of the men with me were friends from past seasons, some of them were men I am still connected with today. As we were walking down the hallway to reach the sanctuary of the church, we were all excited to get into service and go after the presence of God. However, as we kept walking. We all started running into cobwebs. You couldn't see the cobwebs until you walked right into one.
"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you." Isaiah 60:1–2 NIV It is time to rise up! I heard the Lord say, "I am moving this month through the message of Isaiah 60—particularly verses 1, 11 and 22—and also the entire chapter of Matthew 13." We are at a major turning point as the dark night of 2020 is coming to an end. The Lord is shining His light and revealing the areas where the enemy has been attacking and trying to discourage you.
Some people want to be loved by others. They feel they need the love of their father, mother, friends, spouse, girlfriend/boyfriend, their children, strangers, and even God. They go looking for love in all kinds of places from all kinds of people. But the truth is, the person who matters most to love you is you. You need your love more than anyone else's. As the saying goes, how can you love others unless you love yourself.
