  • Angry Birds!

    Angry Birds!

    These birds are angry! Instead of just fending them off or shooing them away, a new tactic is what I have decided to implement. It is what we do naturally to shoo away the thoughts and little nuisances,(they can get quite disruptive). Today I realized that doing the same thing has not worked. It is not that I wouldn’t have done something different, it just wasn’t the right time, or I wasn’t ready.

    Today I am going to swim in the river, get saturated in the love of God, and sit and be still with him, and as we are enjoying the food and fishing, I am going to use the built up Word I have in me and the revelations from spoken words and encounters with him to deal with these angry birds!

    After a while they began to try to disrupt our feasting and enjoying of our time together. They began to try and dive bomb me and get me off the path, or to run away for cover. But Jesus is here with me and a great covering. It is just time to mature and allow the work to be deployed. Don’t run, don’t try to just swat them, but let the exousia power of God bring the armor on, then me and mine will not look like a target and the constant circling and dive bombing will not be tempting to these angry birds! Oh, sure one or two may try to dive in from time to time, but will quickly learn their lesson when they hit that armour!!! It is a new way of resisting the enemy that he would flee! I pray an impartation and revelation for you as you read this today! I am receiving it now too!

  • Doors of Abundance!

    Doors of Abundance!

    I don’t know why some doors are more difficult to enter through, but they, at least, seem to be. Today I sense an opportunity to enter a door of faithfulness that leads to abundance! One step in and the changes begin immediately. It is choosing to no longer partner with old voices of shame and lack, and embracing the abundant life Jesus paid a heavy price for, for me and you friend! It does begin with a choice and there are giants that want to deter us from entry, but the blood of the lamb is covering so, they can only mock and discourage. Maybe like me today, one of the giants is a lying mirror of mockery, but that mirror is from a fun house and is not reflecting true, turn your thoughts away from it, and the jibes being hurled from it of past failures and who the enemy wants you to be. This is what I am doing! My life is not my own and the one who loves and has redeemed me is calling me through the open door. Let us run today friend, through those open doors!

  • Ruth and Rusty Wings!

    Ruth and Rusty Wings!

    Tonight I am dusting off these wings and spreading them to fly! I feel a bit rusty when it comes to putting down my thoughts in writing. I have learned to just begin right where I am, so I will flap these wings and begin to lift.

    Today I had a profound revelation for my life of Ruth 3:11. “And now, my daughter; do not fear. I will do for you all that you request, for all the people of my town know that you are a virtuous woman.” If ever you found yourself in need of redemption in life, oh man I have, you would share in my joy! It was a surprise, the redeemer was the one that came to me when I was 4 or 5. He has stayed with me through the pain, the grief, he saw the betrayals and he forgave those I perpetuated on him. I guess I will just leave that there, only he knows the extent of what he has endured and carried me through. I used to dream of a man seeing the ups and downs and loving me through it all and I finally found him. Truth is he found me. Jesus, God and Man! It was my time, or his time for me! The surprise was the realization that it is done. It is one thing when I believe and read the stories of those who have gone before, then such another thing to find myself in the story, and finding I have crossed over to the victory side and it makes the faith, the persistence in believing worth it. I used to accept this scripture in Ruth as mine and many others, but something changes, like seeing a vision dimly is to a vivid dream, my life before to being chosen and redeemed. I am not speaking of salvation, for that has been mine since childhood. No, I am speaking about the way Ruth asked to be redeemed by Boaz. She lost her husband and her life and was a stranger where she was. I too have lost many times and things, but today I heard him say: “And now my daughter do not fear, I will do for you all that you request!” And my story changed, just like that and I too am like Ruth, redeemed!!!

    Man or woman, child, or seasoned, Jesus waits to lavish his love on you and turn your story into more victory. Choose him today, he is just a prayer (conversation) away!
