Confidence in hardtimes

 Even though the fig trees have no blossoms, and there are no grapes on the vines; even though the olive crop fails, and the fields lie empty and barren; even though the flocks die in the fields, and the cattle barns are empty, yet I will rejoice in the Lord! I will be joyful in the God of my salvation! The Sovereign Lord is my strength! He makes me as surefooted as a deer, able to tread upon the heights. (For the choir director: This prayer is to be accompanied by stringed instruments.)

Habakkuk 3:17‭-‬19 NLT

https://bible.com/bible/116/hab.3.17-19.NLT

As sure as eggs are eggs you will climb the mountain before you

You will walk upon rough ground and not fall 

The lord is your strength 

He will guide you 

He has mapped your journey before you were born

Trust Him for he knows all things he knows your weakness and your strengths 

He will remove obstacles. A way will be made 

Even though crisis comes your way it will not overwhelm you 

I know life is not easy but trust in me and I shall prove myself to you says the Lord.

All things work together for the good of those that trust in me 

Even my wrath is poured out for your benefit 

The seas rage and the earth quakes at my bidding 

At my Word the mountains rise and fall 

My Word will stand and shall accomplish its purpose.

By my Word you shall prosper 

By my Word you shall become known for peace

By my Word you shall leave a legacy for generations to come. 

I shall enable you to live a life worthy of your calling

Open your ears to hear and your mind to perceive

Learn my Words and declare them says the lord

Speak. And watch as I respond to your words 

Prepare to be amazed at the outpouring that is coming into your church , your neighbourhood your family.

I shall come among you with power 

thrones and powers and authorities shall be torn down 

For through you I shall establish my kingdom in your midst

Amen

Godly warfare

 We are human, but we don’t wage war as humans do. We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments. We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ.

2 Corinthians 10:3‭-‬5 NLT

https://bible.com/bible/116/2co.10.3-5.NLTp

My dear children be amazed at Gods dealings with the enemies of God which operate among you

He is more than able to tear down false arguments and reasoning

Indeed we are human, weak and feable but we do not fight alone. We have Godly weapons to wage war with. 

Learn God's truth and use his wisdom to battle against strongholds of human wisdom, thoughts and imaginings.

Speak your desires in my name and be amazed at the outpouring you will recieve 

And having recieved, praise God for his grace and favour.

Look and see the glory of the King of kings and Lord of lords

He shall bring pain and suffering to an end when all things have been fulfilled. In His time he will accomplish all things declared in His name

My child be prepared for God to defeat once and for all time the enemies that assail you

God is on your side who can stand against you 

Amen

Broken chains

 

I shall break every chain that binds you

I shall make you known to be men and women of peace 

And I shall bless you as you bring peace to a troubled world

You shall bring strife to an end 

Glory and praise to the lord I say

Open your ears and your hearts to hear the message I have for you 

I promise my words shall change your life 

You will move from drudgery to greatness 

From loss to gain

From weakness to strength 

Great things are in store for you for I have ordained it 

Amen

More from Joanne Lamb this time on Genesis 17

Joanne Lamb

Hi Godbless.

So no matter how many times you read your Bible from beginning to end. When you start it again from the beginning, something new always stands out. So I've started from the Old Testament book, Genesis, that I've read before, and I didn’t notice until this time how God changed the names of Abram and Sarai, — to Abraham and Sarah. I thought their names were always— Abraham and Sarah. So that is another reason why we should continue reading our bibles, no matter how many times we have read it before, as we learn something new every time. Yes Amen 🙏. 

So I’m going to share Genesis 17:1-16 which says,

” (1)When Abram was ninety-nine years old the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, I am Almighty God; walk before me, and be blameless. (2)And I will make my covenant between me and you and will multiply you exceedingly. (3)Then Abram fell on his face and God talked with him, saying: (4)As for me, behold, my covenant is with you and you shall be a father of many nations. (5)No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for i have made you a father of many nations. (6)I will make you exceedingly fruitful: and I will make nations of you and Kings shall come from you. (7)And I will establish my covenant between me and you and your descendants after you in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you. (8)Also I give to you and your descendants after you the land in which you are a stranger all the land of Canaan as an everlasting possession and I will be their God. (9)And God said to Abraham as for you, you shall keep my covenant, you and your descendants after you throughout their generations. (10)This is my covenant which you shall keep, between me and you and your descendants after you. Every male child among you shall be circumcised. (11)And you shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and you. (12)He who is eight days old among you shall be circumcised, every male child in your generations, he who is born in your house or bought with money from any foreigner who is not your descendant. (13)He who is born in your house and he who is bought with your money must be circumcised and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant. (14)And the uncircumcised male child who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin that person shall be cut off from his people; he has broken my covenant. (15)Then God said to Abraham, as for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai but Sarah shall be her name. (16)And I will bless her and also give you a son by her, then I will bless her and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of peoples shall be from her." 

Yes Amen 🙏 . So anyway the Lord told Abram, I am Almighty God: walk before me, and be blameless. 

And God has the same message for us today. We are to obey the Lord in every respect because he is God, the Lord Almighty. God is the only one with power and God does meet all our needs, so we should want to be obedient to our good Father God who loves us unconditionally, God is so worthy. So anyway God revealed to Abram several specific parts of his covenant.— God would give Abram many descendants.— And many nations would descend from him.— God would maintain his covenant with Abram’s descendants.— And God would give Abram’s descendants the land of Canaan. So anyway God changed Abram to Abraham, (Father of many). Shortly before the promised son was conceived. So from this point on the bible calls him Abraham. 

So anyway God required circumcision, as a sign of obedience to him in all matters and as a sign of belonging to his covenant people. Once circumcised there was no turning back, the man would be identified as a Jew forever. As a symbol of” cutting off” the old life of sin, purifying one’s heart, and dedicating oneself to God. Circumcision, more than any other practice, separated God’s people from their heathen neighbors. In Abraham’s day, this was essential to develop the pure worship of the one true God. 

Yes, Amen 🙏 Glory And Honor to our God Almighty in Jesus Christ's precious mighty name. 

Yes Hallelujah. Thankyou love always Joanne lamb xxx

A plea for help

 I will proclaim your name to my brothers and sisters. I will praise you among your assembled people. Praise the Lord, all you who fear him! Honor him, all you descendants of Jacob! Show him reverence, all you descendants of Israel! For he has not ignored or belittled the suffering of the needy. He has not turned his back on them, but has listened to their cries for help.

Psalms 22:22‭-‬24 NLT

https://bible.com/bible/116/psa.22.22-24.NLT

I will answer says the lord almighty 

My face is always toward you 

With open hand I shall come to you

For I am the God of all creation

My Spirit lives within the you, says the Lord

I have heard your pleas for help

They have come before me like a sweet smelling aroma

Taste and see says the Lord Almighty

Not one of your bones shall be broken

O Lord my God you are more than I have asked for

Let your peace reign within my soul

You are my beloved children says the Lord

I shall answer says the Lord 

My angels shall come to you 

They shall bring keys to doors locked long ago 

Ceilings shall be lifted and you shall soar to the heights 

Amen

Beginnings and Gods Spirit,text kindly taken from Joanne lamb

 Hi Godbless. So I’m back to reading from the Old Testament, which is Genesis first book in the bible.-

Learning about our ancestors can help us understand ourselves,'Adam and Eve’ our first ancestors were the highlight of God's creation— the very reason God made the world. But they didn’t always live the way God intended. 

And through their mistakes, we can learn important lessons on how to live rightly, as Adam and Eve teach us much about the nature of sin and its consequences. Yes Amen 🙏. 

I’m going to share Genesis 2:4-7 that says” —.       

(4)This is the history of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens. (5)Before any plant of the field was in the earth and before any herb of the field had grown. For the Lord God had not caused it to rain on the earth and there was no man to till the ground. (6)But a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground. (7)And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living being. 

Yes, Hallelujah, Amen 🙏. 

So anyway— "of the dust of the ground” implies that there is nothing fancy about the chemical elements making up our bodies. The body is a lifeless shell until God brings it alive with His "breath of life". And when God removes his life-giving breath, then our bodies once again returns to dust. 

Therefore our life and worth come from God’s Spirit. So in reality our worth comes not from our achievements but from God of the universe, who chooses to give us the mysterious and miraculous gift of life, so we should value life’ as God does. There is no other like our good amazing God. Hosanna in the highest, yes Amen 🙏. 

Glory to God in Jesus Christ's precious powerful name, yes Hallelujah.

 Thank you love always Joanne lamb xxx

He rescues his children

The righteous person faces many troubles, but the Lord comes to the rescue each time. For the Lord protects the bones of the righteous; not one of them is broken! Calamity will surely destroy the wicked, and those who hate the righteous will be punished. But the Lord will redeem those who serve him. No one who takes refuge in him will be condemned.

Psalms 34:19‭-‬22 NLT

https://bible.com/bible/116/psa.34.19-22.NLT

I shall deliver you says the lord almighty

Those who trust in me shall be redeemed

Come to me and I shall make you an overcomer

For I have entrusted to you power from on high 

I have the power but authority and dominion belong to you 

for I gave to you when I first created mankind 

My child trust me use your authority and activate my power for I shall honor my promises 

Not so the wicked I will cut them off 

They shall be cursed 

Nothing they plan will come to pass 

For I shall frustrate their council

They shall become like fools 

I shall bring disaster upon them says the lord 

But the righteous will prosper

In my name I shall cause them to be a blessing to the my people 

They will flourish in the desert and find peace amid turmoil 

For my peace shall rule in their soul

Amen

Lover of your soul

 I am the lover of your soul

I shall be with you 

I shall come to you and encourage you

Look to the heavens are you not amazed 

I made the heavens in all there vast array

It was I that named the stars 

I keep them in their orbits

I shall come among you and I shall bless you 

Recieve from my open hand 

Everything you need

Be amazed at my outpouring in these days

I am eager to show my delight in you

My love is poured out for you 

I am amazed at your faithfulness oh lord

My name shall go before you 

It shall clear a path for you to tread

Anything the enemy has placed before you shall be demolished and destroyed.

All strongholds shall be dismantled before you

Amen. 

There is a new season coming

A season of opening

Open doors 

Open opportunity

Open heavens 

I am opening doors for you simply because I desire the best for my children

No longer shall closed doors barr your way 

Lost opportunity will be restored to you 

Heaven has always been open to you

open skies will come the clouds will part and the sun will shine upon you.

See have I declared you free from accusations and judgements

Ask me for bread will I not give freely with open heart

Ask me for help will I not send my angels to attend you

Ask me and  I shall give freely because you are my beloved child 

Amen

Peace

 Look! A messenger is coming over the mountains with good news! He is bringing a message of peace. Celebrate your festivals, O people of Judah, and fulfill all your vows, for your wicked enemies will never invade your land again. They will be completely destroyed!

Nahum 1:15 NLT

https://bible.com/bible/116/nam.1.15.NLT

Let my peace reign in every land 

Let evil be vanquished

Let all men turn to me

People of the world I am coming soon 

Do not be alarmed or taken by surprise 

Wake up and smell my sweet fragrance among you

I have never left you nor will I leave alone

But I shall be with you always

For I delight in being among my people

I will sweep away my enemies like dust

My people shall win the day and I shall lead them to victory

My name is higher than every name 

Father we call down your mercy and favour 

We worship your holy name o lord 

All men shall turn to me and receive from my hand

Be amazed at my outpouring of mercy and favour

For my hand is open and you shall receive from me in full measure that which is rightfully yours

Amen
