All Power Comes from Me

Psalm 121:1-2 (ESV) I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. 

Beloved, keep your gaze on Me, for nothing on earth can strengthen and empower you more than I can. No one is a stronger advocate for you than I AM. And no one is more able to fight on your behalf. So resist the urge to look for human help as a first response, and instead look to Me. 

Trust that I will direct you. Trust that I will instruct you. Trust that I will empower you. Trust that I AM all you need. I AM the holy One – Elohim Qadosh, the Holy God. Trust Me to do what is right, and know that all power comes from Me, for I AM God.

Stand Ready

Psalm 45:3 (NASB) Gird Your sword on Your thigh, O Mighty One, In Your splendor and Your majesty!

Beloved, none can stand against Me. As My children stand with Me, they are aligned and prepared for victory. For I AM the victorious One. So stand. Resist the devil and all his efforts to move you. Stand in faith – unwavering. Stand with Me.  Continue reading “Stand Ready”

YHVH Jireh (the Lord your Provider)

Psalm 23:5 (VOICE) You spread out a table before me, provisions in the midst of attack from my enemies; You care for all my needs, anointing my head with soothing, fragrant oil, filling my cup again and again with Your grace.

Beloved, regardless of the time or the place, I take care of My children. I AM YHVH Jireh – the Lord your Provider, and I will supply your needs. Trust yourself to Me. Let me soothe and refresh you in My presence. Let Me overflow you with My life-changing love. 

Release the burden of looking out for your own interests, and simply yield to Me. If I appear to withhold, it’s never because I’m angry or punishing you. I act in your best interest. Work with Me instead of struggling against My lead when you don’t understand. You understanding is not necessary, but you yielding is. So rest in Me, beloved, and let Me truly be your God.

Be Undone

Isaiah 6:5 (NKJV) So I said: “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The Lord of hosts.”

Beloved, as you rightly see Me, you cannot help but be humbled. It is not a bad thing to be completely wrecked in My presence. You are safe with me, so be undone. Let the trappings of the world disappear and see rightly, for from that place truth comes forth. 

Beloved, I break that I might heal – and I strengthen you in the healing. I prepare you for the times ahead. Trust yourself to Me, and be undone in My presence. Then let me bring strength and restoration as I commission you for the road ahead.  Continue reading “Be Undone”

My Faithfulness Knows No End

Beloved, My faithfulness knows no end. You never have to wonder when I’m going to run out of patience for you. I’m not. I AM patient and long-suffering, slow to anger and rich in mercy. I AM a good Father and a faithful friend. I AM completely steadfast, and you are Mine.

I will never abandon or forsake you. I lavish you with My love. I hope for the best for you. I lead you in good paths – paths of righteousness and blessing. Follow Me. Trust Me. Yield to Me. Know Me and know that I AM good. Embrace My unfailing love, for it belongs to you.

I AM Listening

Psalm 77:1 (VOICE) I cry up to heaven, “My God, True God,” and He hears.

Beloved, when you cry out to Me, I always hear. No matter where you are or what you’ve done, I AM always listening. I do not turn a deaf ear to you in punishment or neglect. Those who know Me know that does not align with My character.

Just as an earthly parent uses wisdom in granting their children’s requests, so do I. In the moments I don’t respond the way you expected, know that is not a sign of My neglect, but rather of your inappropriate expectations. I’m not a genie in a bottle to call and command, so be sure that is not your expectation.

What I AM is El Chai – the Living God, and I love My children, and am mindful of their needs and their cries – of all things concerning them. So know that I AM present and listening. I will never leave you nor forsake you. So cry out to Me, beloved, for I AM listening.

Anticipate My Goodness

Romans 5:4 (VOICE) When our characters are refined, we learn what it means to hope and anticipate God’s goodness.

Beloved, in times of trial, cling to hope. Stand fast in the knowledge of who I AM. For you know that I AM faithful, and you know that I AM good. Knowing these truths gives you hope both that I will bring you through the hardship, and that I will create beauty from the brokenness it brings.

So anticipate My goodness. Remind yourself of the truth of who I AM – of My character. Refuse to be moved by earthly circumstance, and instead be firmly rooted in unshakable hope. For the One you hope in is faithful. Continue reading “Anticipate My Goodness”

Press Through

Numbers 22:22 (VOICE) Nevertheless, God was angry that Balaam was going. He sent His own messenger as an adversary to stand in Balaam’s way, blocking the prophet’s path. Now Balaam was riding on his donkey, and he had two servants too.

Beloved, press through. Not in the sense of forcing something like a square peg in a round hole, but rather in resisting the urge to give up. I AM at work even when it seems like I’m not. Look for the way I have made for you.

Remember I will hedge your way with thorns, so if you’re not finding a way through, keep looking. I may be the one who has blocked your path. Be willing to turn around or go another direction. Trust Me to move. Trust Me to lead. Trust Me to have a plan and be walking you through it. The plans I have for you are good plans, beloved, so trust in Me. Continue reading “Press Through”
