The Lord is saying: Do
that which I am asking of you. It is easy to become distracted
by the cares of the world and the circumstances you find yourself
in. Put my requests before all others, for the priorities that
I highlight to you will surely bring you the greatest blessings
and you will find that you have made great progress as you walk
with me.
Last night we had our
amazing 'quiet time' group. All we do for about an hour is listen.
The space we give the Lord allows Him to bless us tremendously,
but then..... we get a multiple blessing........Its what comes
out afterwards when we share the visions, messages and encounters
that is wonderful. The Lord shows us His mind in such an incredible
way, and confirms what He has given to each of us.. One lady
who attends said that she gets so spiritually fed that it lasts
her for ages. Nobody leads except the Holy Spirit and He gets
His full way. I suppose its a purer form of spiritual food than
attending a service, because you don't have to sift out what's
coming from man to get to what the Lord is saying.
The theme last night which
seems to be something very much on God's mind is...
Rejoice evermore.
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ
Jesus concerning you.
1Thessalonians 5:16 &18
I'll not go into all the visions but God
told us clearly that that He is in control of all that we need
and even when people are not for us, it is all still working
for our good, for those who love Him. He holds king's hearts
in His hand and turns them whichever way He wants. And of course
everything He does is because He loves us. When we are blessed,
it is He that has used someone to bless us. But He chooses,
because He knows the very delicate balance of our human nature,
and one factor is because He will get all the glory when the
chips are down.
He holds all things in His hand. One vision
that I will relate, was of someone sliding down a mountain on
his bottom. Then a vision of padding being in the backside of
some trousers. God showed us clearly that as we praise and thank
in all things it will cushion us. Apparently the Lord sees the
whole picture, but we see the pieces of the jigsaw and we don't
know how they will fit together, but he does. We will be so
glad, If we can trust Him and understand that He really is KING
in our lives and praise Him in everything. When the whole things
comes together and we see the complete picture we will receive
such a great reward for believing when we couldn't see.
For our light affliction, which is
but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal
weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen,
but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are
seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:17&18
Lyrics to Joy to the World
Joy to the World , the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing.
Joy to the World, the Savior reigns!
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.
No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found,
Far as the curse is found,
Far as, far as, the curse is found.
He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders, wonders, of His love.
