Steadfastly Onward

Philippians 3:13 (TPT) I don’t depend on my own strength to accomplish this; however I do have one compelling focus: I forget all of the past as I fasten my heart to the future instead.

Beloved, remember that you do not run alone. I AM YHVH Shammah – the Lord is present, and I AM with you through it all. Resist the urge to rely on your own strength, and instead lean on Me. For I AM fully able to support you through every test and trial.

Keep your eyes fixed on Me, and your focus on what’s ahead. Refuse to be distracted by disappointments or the things of old. Instead move steadfastly onward as you walk hand-in-hand with Me. Trust Me to guide and uphold you as you remain focused on the path ahead. Continue reading “Steadfastly Onward”

Jehovah Jireh (the Lord our Provider) {Moments with God}

{Reminding myself}  In the moment I am afraid, I remind myself of who You are. Jehovah Jireh is Your name – I know my Lord provides. It’s in Your very nature to see all that I need – long before I am even aware, and in every situation You are faithful to supply. In good times and in hard times, You’ve never let me down. Though Your solution may be creative, may come at what I consider “the last moment,” and may not look at all as I expected – You comes through, without fail. What needs to change is my trust in You, because worry is simply wasted effort.

{My prayer} Help me, Father, to rest more fully in Your arms. To know You always have me, and will never let me down. Help me to wait with trust-filled joy as I yield to Your timing, for I know that Your faithfulness exceeds my comprehension, and Your love for me is greater than I could begin to understand.

Genesis 22:14 (NLT) Abraham named the place Yahweh-Yireh (which means “the LORD will provide”). To this day, people still use that name as a proverb: “On the mountain of the LORD it will be provided.”

Immanuel (God with Us)

Isaiah 7:14 (VOICE) …The Lord will give you a proof-sign anyway: See, a young maiden will conceive. She will give birth to a son and name Him Immanuel, that is, “God with us.”

Beloved, I AM with you always, for I AM YHVH Shammah – the Lord is present. And as a reminder of My presence, I sent My very own Son to dwell among you: Immanuel – a reminder that I (God) am with you.

Conceived of a virgin – an undeniable miracle that you might clearly see My hand at work, He is a reflection of My love made physically manifest that you might know Me more. My desire is for connection with you. Everything I do is to increase that depth of intimacy, for I love you. Never doubt, that you are Mine, beloved, but also remember I AM yours.

Jehovah Tsaba (the Lord of Hosts)

Psalm 91:11-12 (AMP) For He will command His angels in regard to you, To protect and defend and guard you in all your ways [of obedience and service]. They will lift you up in their hands, So that you do not [even] strike your foot against a stone.

Beloved, I AM Jehovah Tsaba – the Lord of Hosts, God of angel armies – and I AM for you. All of heaven is at My command, and I move on your behalf because of My great love for you. So resist the urge to be afraid of what man or nature can do, for I AM fully prepared to take care of you.

Whether I lift you out of trouble or give you grace to walk right through, I promise I will never leave you nor turn a deaf ear to your cry. For I cherish each one of My children – I know your very frame. I’ve numbered every hair on your head, so never doubt that I will move on your behalf, or that you’re somehow beneath My notice. For you are the apple of My eye, which is why I am ferociously mindful of all concerning you. Continue reading “Jehovah Tsaba (the Lord of Hosts)”

I AM YHVH Manowc (the Lord your Refuge)

Psalm 91:2-3 (AMP) I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I trust [with great confidence, and on whom I rely]!” For He will save you from the trap of the fowler, And from the deadly pestilence.

Beloved, I AM YHVH Manowc – the Lord your refuge. I AM your safe place in good times and in bad. I AM the One who will never desert you, nor change My heart toward you. I AM steadfast, and I AM fully able. Rest in Me.

[Repeatedly it’s been highlighted to me how often God directs us to “rest” – “rest in Him”, “rest in His love” – simply to rest. He says it so often that I had begun to wonder if maybe the problem was me. That *I* wasn’t hearing correctly because what I was hearing was so often the same. But just as that thought moves me to a place of striving from a place of yielded listening, He told me that He’s reminding us exactly because our natural inclination is towards striving rather than rest. To learn to rest – to fully yield to Him, takes discipline and repetition. So yes, He’s repeating Himself. He’s doing so because we need the constant, gentle reminders so that we don’t fall into the trap of relying on self rather than yielding to Him. May we be intentional to stay in a place of rest, and to receive His gentle nudges with the love they’re intended.] Continue reading “I AM YHVH Manowc (the Lord your Refuge)”

Trust My Love for You

Psalm 84:9 (TPT) God, your wrap-around presence is our defense. In your kindness look upon the faces of your anointed ones.

Beloved, I go before you, and I AM your rear guard. Nothing comes near you without My knowing. And I AM with you, sustaining you. My attention never wavers. Trust yourself into My care. Step into My loving arms and let Me hold you close when you’re afraid.

I AM Olam Zerowa – the everlasting arms, and I AM always with you and I will never leave you, so rest in Me. I look upon you with the tender eyes of One who adores you. Trust My love for you – feel it encompass you in a cocoon of safety. Continue reading “Trust My Love for You”

You are My Delight

Psalm 84:1 (TPT) God of Heaven’s Armies, you find so much beauty in your people! They’re like lovely sanctuaries of your presence.

Beloved, I AM the God of heavenly armies, the Lord of Hosts – YHVH Tsaba is My name. I rule and reign in power, and yet with everything at My fingertips, I take delight in My children. I make My sanctuary in their very hearts.

When you choose Me, all that I AM dwells within you. Think not that you are weak or powerless in the face of adversity, beloved. It matters not your personal ability to change things around you, for you know Me. I AM the power. I AM the source. And you are My delight, so rest in Me. Continue reading “You are My Delight”

Jehovah Rapha (the Lord our Healer)

Exodus 15:26 (NLT) He said, “If you will listen carefully to the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in his sight, obeying his commands and keeping all his decrees, then I will not make you suffer any of the diseases I sent on the Egyptians; for I am the LORD who heals you.”

Beloved, I desire for My children to walk in healing and wholeness. For I AM the God of abundant life, and healing and wholeness come from Me alone. Cling fast to the promise of who I AM, and hold tight to Me.

I AM Jehovah Rapha, the Lord your healer is My name. Call on Me to give you strength, and trust Me to give grace. My healing rain is falling down. Behold, I make all things new. Praise the One who gives you life, and hold fast to what is true.

Jehovah Nissi (the Lord our Banner)

Exodus 17:15 (NLT) Moses built an altar there and named it Yahweh-Nissi (which means “the LORD is my banner”).

Beloved, I AM Jehovah Nissi – the Lord your banner, your miracle. And when that day of victory comes, be intentional to take note so that when future battles make you weary, you will remember you serve the victorious One.

Refuse to forget the successes of the past, and use them as memorial stones to build your foundation of faith so you will be unshakable in future. For I AM the same – yesterday, today, and forever – and I AM God.

YHVH M’kadesh (the Lord Who Sanctifies)

Isaiah 1:18 (VOICE) Come on now, let’s walk and talk; let’s work this out. Your wrongdoings are bloodred, But they can turn as white as snow. Your sins are red like crimson, But they can be made clean again like new wool.

Beloved, no sin is so great that the blood of Jesus cannot atone for it. Receive and be made new. Resist the urge to try to hold tight to baggage that has seemed to define you in times past. Release it and walk in the new I have for you.

For I AM Elohim Rachum – the merciful God who loves you and has provided a means of achieving freedom. And I AM YHVH M’kadesh – the Lord who sanctifies, for I AM the Redeemer and the Restorer, the Creator and the mender of hearts. So look to Me, and stand in faith, for behold I make all things new.
