Continue to Trust in
Jesus
It is only as you put on the mind of Christ that you
will understand that which is taking place daily in the earth. Do not look on the outward appearance but
always come back to me, your Father in Heaven and reason with me. Many of you are extremely distressed with the
times you are living in. Many have come
to the point where they feel that they cannot go on and do not know where to
turn next. Have I changed? Am I not your Lord and provider? Am I not the God that heals you? Am I not the God that puts your food on the
table? Do not look at the outward
appearance for man does this but look upon My heart. See through My eyes. Hear with My ears and glean that which I am
saying first to you and then to the church.
The times ahead will
not be easy. Those days are over but
know that I am with you. I will never
forsake or leave you. Do not despair for
there is an open door to enter in and fellowship with Me. I am longing for those precious ones that are
moving to and fro in stresses of daily life to stop and turn to me. Sit with Me for times of refreshing. Sit with Me and hear from Me and learn that I
am your Father.
Though the storm hit,
I am there as I was with My disciples in the boat. I did not run off and leave them but stood by
them allowing them to grow spiritually and then see the wonder of a
miracle. Keep calling on Me, keep
calling on My name. If all you can do is
say, Jesus help me, Jesus guide Me, know that I hear the most simple
prayer. I am not a Father that is
without understanding but know My love.
Beloved, you are struggling, many of mine are struggling
financially and in many other ways and many have gone home. Do not look at death through natural eyes but
see through the eyes of my spirit. Death
for the child of God is better than ones birth.
I do all things well so do not allow the enemy to tell you otherwise. I give and I take away, blessed be the name
of the Lord. I am Alpha and Omega and
will have the last say.
Though that anti Christ spirit has raised its ugly head and
is manifesting, I am stronger much stronger.
These things must first come to pass.
Do that which you need to do.
Care for your household and for those that are in your sphere of
influence. My yolk is easy and burden is light. Again, I will never forsake or leave you even
during the most difficult of times I am standing with you. Keep praying and interceding for the needs of
your household and extended family and do not give up for I hear and answer
prayer. Be of good courage and I will
strengthen your heart. Rejoice in the
Lord and again I say rejoice for I am in the midst of My people.
22 Immediately Jesus made the disciples get
into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the
crowd. 23 After
he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later
that night, he was there alone, 24 and the boat was already a considerable distance
from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.
25 Shortly before
dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. 26 When the disciples saw him
walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried
out in fear.
27 But Jesus
immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t
be afraid.”
28 “Lord, if it’s
you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”
29 “Come,” he said.
Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water
and came toward Jesus. 30 But
when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord,
save me!”
31 Immediately Jesus
reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little
faith,” he said, “why did you
doubt?”
32 And when they
climbed into the boat, the wind died down. 33 Then those who were in the boat worshiped him,
saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.” Matt. 14:22-33 (NIV)
Introduction to this word:
The
Jewish observance of Tisha B'Av, the 9th day of Av (the fifth month of
the Hebraic calendar), is traditionally an annual day of fasting and
repentance, and is often referred to as "the saddest day in Jewish
history." Tisha B'Av is regarded as a day when Jews from around the
world commemorate the destruction of both the First and Second Temples
(655 years apart) in Jerusalem - a date which marks many of the worst
tragedies in Israel's history, both past and present. (Photo via enwikipedia)
Repentance
opens doors for us to be restored. Through House of David Ministries in
Fairland, Oklahoma, the Lord has called us to open-up a fountain, a
literal pool to cleanse His temples. This is a place of repentance; a
place of refreshing and empowerment; and a place of deliverance and
restoration. (Photo of House of David Immersion Pool via The Elijah List)
