How old?

 Acts 7:23 

When Moses was fourty years old. He decided to find out how his fellow israelites were being treated..

Acts 7:30 

After fourty years had passed an angel of the Lord appeared to Moses in the flames of a burning bush in the desert near Mount Sinai.

Do not count yourself out because you are old. See Moses was 80 when he saw the burning bush.      

See, I am the Lord. I will choose whom I will choose.

Your life is mapped out before me like a book.

I know when you were born for it was I who ordained it.

I created you in your mothers womb 

Every hair of you head is known to me.

Though you are advanced in years there is much for you to do.

I have called you by name and you are mine. 

See you are my precious child 

I will use whom I will use 

No man nor demon can stop me for I am The Lord of all creation

Both seen and unseen bow to me for I am Creator.

Will you accept my call to you?

Have you become so weary that you have lost motivation.

See, I shall be to you as a powerful source of courage and intent 

For It is I who grants both the gift of faith and the power to obey.

Come to me and be amazed at my dealings with both men and circumstances.

For I shall use you to bring both faith and belief among all mankind.

I shall use you to bring the poor, the destitute, the lost, the lonely, the old, the young, the rich.  I shall cause you to move among men of all cultures, beliefs and backgrounds.

Do not think that this is too high a task for you, as I shall cause you to walk among the people. 

You shall be filled with my Spirit and walk in power and do exploits and powerful deeds, for my Spirit shall dwell within you.

Amen

Sonship

Romans 8:15

"For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship"

Did you not know? 

He has made you children of the most high God.

Life comes through the Spirit. 

He is the spark that animates you. 

He gives life to your mortal bodies.

He has granted you all the rights and privileges of a true son.

But together with the rights and privileges that He bestows 

You have duties and obligations to ensure the Father's business goes forward as He desires.

Surely He will make His plans known to you. 

You have an inheritance more than you could imagine. 

You shall become peacemakers and as cunning as foxes whilst making the Father's plan come to fruition

He dwells within you. 

His home is your heart and mind. 

Let His heart for men become known to you

For whilst we were sinners he gave His very life's blood for us.

Let his mind become your mind 

You shall think His thoughts and do His will.

He shall live in and through you. 

No longer shall you look to your corrupt thinking, but let His perfect thoughts pervade your inmost being.  

Amen  

Ploughing a straight furrow

 Luke 10:62

Jesus said to him, 'Anyone who starts to plough and then keeps looking back is of no use to the Kingdom of God'. 

Keep looking forward as you journey through your life with God.

Keep your focus ahead of you, toward Jesus whom you are following 

A divided heart is of no use to the Kingdom of God 

Make the choice to follow Him with everything you have.    

He walked with man in the Garden of Eden in the cool of the day.

He walks with you now in all seasons 

For some of you, it's cold and harsh, your circumstances like a winter day  

For others, the heat is stifling, and life is closing in all around you like a storm about to hit

Can you smell it?

Do you sense what God is about to do for you?

Regardless of what season you are in

God is about to bring a change, which, you could not know or foresee.

He gave the order long ago, but now is the appointed time for change, as the last season had to do its work within you.  

He shall bring about a monumental shift in your circumstances 

The winter will soon end and the storm will dissipate before your eyes

Do not be dismayed for He has ordained change 

He shall bring order into chaos and stability into what seems random.

Amen

Yes! The Lord sees your troubles

Isaiah 40 26 - 31

26 Look up into the heavens.
Who created all the stars?
He brings them out like an army, one after another,
calling each by its name.
Because of his great power and incomparable strength,
not a single one is missing.

27 O, Jacob, how can you say the Lord does not see your troubles?
O Israel, how can you say God ignores your rights?

28 Have you never heard?
Have you never understood?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of all the earth.
He never grows weak or weary.
No one can measure the depths of his understanding.

29 He gives power to the weak
and strength to the powerless.

30 Even youths will become weak and tired,
and young men will fall in exhaustion.

31 But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength.
They will soar high on wings like eagles.
They will run and not grow weary.
They will walk and not faint.

Whomever you are. Whatever you have done.  

God cares for your troubles 

He is the Creator and Sustainer of all things.

Nothing has been made by mistake or left out 

All things are complete,  Not one hair of your head is missing. 

He completed the stars in their vast array and gave each one a name.

Everything He created has significance.

I tell you, you who feel like an empty vessel.

I tell you,  your cup is full to overflowing

Look deep within for you are the embodiment of God's Holy Spirit.

He lives within you

Do you need help understanding?

Have you yet to be told?

Surely His Word is his bond.

' I shall never leave you, nor forsake you...' says the Lord.

Be amazed at the depths of His outpouring!

Surely His very life's blood was poured out and that whilst we were sinners.

How can anyone understand the depths of His eternal love?

Yet He chose both you and I whilst we were still sinners.

Come to Him all who labour and are burdened by many troubles.

Surely He Has carried our weighty burdens.

And made an oasis in the desert and wilderness. 

The dry barren land shall become fertile once more.

For I have seen fit to supply all your needs.

 

I am the great and almighty God none is equal to me.

Who can compare to the Creator of all, both seen and unseen?

Did the behemoth create the stars?

Or Did the great leviathan cause the planets to journey along their paths

No!

For as great as these creatures are, they are made by the awesome power of the Creator   

I the Lord shall renew the strength of the weary and lift up the downcast and down-trodden,

for I am both Creator and sustainer of all things.

I shall put a spring in the step of the lame and cause the blind to see and the deaf to hear.

I shall make the dry barren land fertile again and cause rivers to flow.

I shall turn the world around.

The jungle shall become like the desert and the desert like the jungle.

Those who have become rich by corruption shall be exposed.

Worship the Almighty God and turn to Him alone for he is worthy to be praised and honoured 

Amen.

     

   

 

The Lord's goodness

I the Lord delight in doing good to my children 

Even my wrath is poured out for your benefit 

I am creator

I am sustainer 

It is my desire to create in you my likeness 

For you were created in my image 

And designed to do my will 

You are destined for greatness 

For I provide for all your needs

Look at the sparrow. 

It builds its nest out of my supply and feeds its young in season 

Do I only offer an abundance in some seasons?

No. 

I supply in all seasons   

For I am more than able

Seasons come and seasons go but my Word stands for all time

You are my most treasured possession 

I love you beyond measure 

you can not understand the depths of my love for you 

it's height 

it's length 

it's width  

Tell me who can fathom the depths to which I go to prove my love for you.

Surely I shall display my love for you in ways you can not fathom

My creative power is plain for all to see surely my name is embedded within creation itself 

Look to the heavens and see my glory 

Amen
