Lord

OPEN YOUR EYES!

I hear The Lord saying…

 “Don’t try and figure everything out! If you wait on obeying Me until you “understand” everything…you will miss My timing!  Trust Me!!  If you hear My voice (and My sheep KNOW My voice)…then you must act!  Yes, you are important for My plans!  Join with Me and walk boldly into My purpose for you.  Every step is laid before you by My hand!  Open your eyes and SEE My provision!  Open your eyes and SEE My footprints that have walked the path ahead of you preparing the way.  Don’t allow circumstances to distract you!
 I AM here!     I AM with you!     Will you trust Me?”

GROW!

May we not be “satisfied” to stay exactly as we are today! May we seek and desire to rise up into the revelation and positioning of who we are in Christ! Growth means change. Have NO FEAR to grow into what the Lord has prepared for you!

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11 NIV)

PRECIOUS WHISPERS

“What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim upon the housetops.”‭‭Matthew‬ ‭10:27‬ ‭NASB‬‬

Jesus was speaking this to His disciples. And I believe Jesus speaks these words to us today. We should have no fear to speak and proclaim what He is speaking to us!

May we walk in boldness and love as we share what God is saying to His people. May we invite and listen to His precious “whispers.”

God is speaking!  Are we listening?

Who Do YOU Say That I Am?

“He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” And Jesus said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.” ~Matthew‬ ‭16:15-17‬ ‭NASB‬‬

I believe that Jesus asks each of us, “Who do YOU say that I am?”

Our answer has a great effect on how we live day to day. And I believe that our answer may change over time as we get a deeper revelation of Who He is!  Not that our original answer is wrong…but that we will begin to understand who He is more fully!  Hallelujah!! What would your answer be to Him today?

HEART TO HEART

Tina K. Roach Uncategorized , ,
I love to start my day with Him,
just being in His presence,
breathing in His lovely fragrance,
feeling His love and loving Him back.
I look up and join the angels
in worship around the throne.
My voice is one among many –
but He hears me.
His eyes pick me out among all those
worshipping before Him.
For a moment there is just the two of us
Heart to heart – joining as one
and then I am back home.
But, He is still with me,
I love You, Lord…

WAKE UP, SLEEPER!

It was Saturday night of the Healing & Miracle Conference in Jacksonville, FL. We were praising and worshipping our Wonderful Lord through the song, “Resurrection Power.”

At one point, I was so overcome with His presence that I fell to my knees and dropped my head to the carpet and covered my face.

As the song continued I began to see a vision of Jesus standing before the tomb of Lazarus with his right arm outstretched and saying in a powerful voice, “Lazarus, come forth.” (John 11:43) 

I then saw Lazarus leave the tomb with his grave clothes swirling and floating about him. Immediately, I felt the Lord give me interpretation:

Lazarus represents the Church. Jesus is calling to His Church, His Bride, “Come forth!”

He wants us to leave all of the death and lifelessness behind. He wants to unbind us from our grave clothes–everything that is keeping us from living in the fullness that He has destined for us–and let us walk out into the world with His resurrection power!

Later, as I was discussing this vision with my friend, the Lord revealed more:

When Jesus came to Lazarus’ tomb, Mary fell at His feet, saying, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” (John 11:32).

Many have been praying for the Church of the living God to arise and walk out into the world in power!

It may look like the Lord is not hearing our prayers. It may look like God is late. Mary thought the Lord should have come earlier…before Lazarus died.

BUT! Jesus came in His perfect timing…not Mary’s timing but His. And Jesus is coming in perfect timing to His Church!

Just as Jesus said to His disciples, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I go so that I may awaken him out of sleep” …so Jesus is saying to us …I am coming so that I may awaken you out of sleep!!

WAKE UP, SLEEPER!

Ahhhhh, LORD!!  Thank You for Your perfect timing!  Thank You that You are calling forth Your End Time Army!  Thank You that Your strength is made perfect in our weakness! Thank You for Your love of Your Bride! Thank You for awakening us to our destiny!!

LEAVE THE VALLEY BEHIND!

“God does not further our spiritual Life in spite of our circumstances, but in and by our circumstances.”   ~Oswald Chambers

“And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.”      Romans‬ ‭8:28‬ ‭NASB‬‬

It is comforting to me to realize that no matter what happens in my life, God can use it to mold and shape me into a better person.  He can use circumstances to give me a greater understanding; a deeper revelation; and a deeper love for those that have gone through the same thing.

He uses circumstances that could devastate and destroy us as tools to draw us closer to Him.  He uses these times to exhibit His strength as we are at our weakest.

Beloved, are you in a valley right now?  Do you feel the darkness around you and believe there is no way out?  Do not fear!! God is with you!  HE HAS A PLAN!!

His plan is to guide you through the darkness into the Light!  His plan is to release His peace and strength within you so you can climb out of the valley with Him.  And as you look back on this “valley time” you will see how God used this time to raise you to greater heights!

Look up!!  Do you see the Lord’s hand reaching out to you?  Grab it and leave the valley behind!!

 

BE STILL…

I have noticed that this little bird has been camped out for 2 days in my bird feeder instead of flying off with it’s friends.  It wanted to stay where the food was.  As I watched it’s behavior, I realized an important spiritual lesson was unfolding before me.

Sometimes we need to “camp out” when we are being fed spiritually by the Lord.  How often do we read our daily Bible reading and then rush off to do other things with our friends?  Do we allow the Lord time to speak to us through His word?

Sometimes we need to commit to pray until we hear from the Lord.  Do we go through our prayer list and then stop…or do we wait…seeking to connect with the Great Intercessor?

Do we have a time set aside so we may simply sit (camp out) in the Lord’s presence…to pour ourselves into Him and let Him pour Himself into us?

I hear the Lord saying, “Be still, and know that I am God.  I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”  Psalm 46:10
