A new season................

The Lord woke me up with these verses the other morning; He is steadily speaking to me about Florida and this new season I am entering:

"THE Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me,
Because the LORD has anointed Me
To preach good tidings to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives,
And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD,
And the day of vengeance of our God;
To comfort all who mourn,
To console those who mourn in Zion,
To give them beauty for ashes,
The oil of joy for mourning,
The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
That they may be called trees of righteousness,
The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified."

And they shall rebuild the old ruins,
They shall raise up the former desolations,
And they shall repair the ruined cities,
The desolations of many generations.
Strangers shall stand and feed your flocks,
And the sons of the foreigner
Shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
But you shall be named the priests of the LORD,
They shall call you the servants of our God.
You shall eat the riches of the Gentiles,
And in their glory you shall boast.
Instead of your shame you shall have double honor,
And instead of confusion they shall rejoice in their portion.
Therefore in their land they shall possess double;
Everlasting joy shall be theirs.

"For I, the LORD, love justice;
I hate robbery for burnt offering;
I will direct their work in truth,
And will make with them an everlasting covenant.
Their descendants shall be known among the Gentiles,
And their offspring among the people.
All who see them shall acknowledge them,
That they are the posterity whom the LORD has blessed."

I will greatly rejoice in the LORD,
My soul shall be joyful in my God;
For He has clothed me with the garments of salvation,
He has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
As a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments,
And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
For as the earth brings forth its bud,
As the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth,
So the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.


His FAVOR is upon me, HIS will, yes it will be accomplished!

Micah 6:8

In this new season of my life, I am holding on to this verse. My life verse if you will.

"He has shown you, O man, what is good: And what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God."

Dreaming.............

Dreams are coming; quickly they are picking up their pace....

I am to let go of the old, it is rotten; just as the manna was when the children of Israel tried to store up what the hand of the LORD provided. Daily provision is all I need. The provision is Your word to me Lord, not man's.

I recently experienced a time of ministry where the Lord moved in such a powerful and different way than I have ever experienced. That night I dreamed about it; but saw it from a completely different perspective.....I saw what was going on in the Spirit....I saw the Lord open my mouth and a song came forth; one that cannot be stopped, silenced, or in any way hindered from what it is being sent forth to do.

Father, YOU have opened my mouth; let Your song (Your prophetic utterance) resound over all Your creation!

Caleb

Caleb was courageous! No matter how big and dangerous the giants in the land flowing with milk and honey.....he KNEW that his Lord would go before them and help them to take possession of this promised land!

The children of Israel forfeited their promise, their very inheritance; and for what??? FEAR. UNBELIEF. The Lord was gracious in that He didn't strike down the children of Israel like He did the spies, He pardoned them due to Mose's intercession. But they didn't get to enter into the promised land. How tragic.....

I've heard it said that most people give up ONE prayer away from their breakthrough. I'm not going to be one of them!! I'm gonna pray, I'm gonna believe; and with the boldness and faithful obedience of Caleb, I will walk in my inheritance! My Lord is leading me to this new place, even if I cannot see the how, the when, etc.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Thank You, Lord.

More.............

I want more. It's no secret.

Am I willing to pay the price for more??? Am I willing to trade my dignity, my reputation; to trade everything I ever dreamed of....for more of You????

Trembling, with a reverent fear, I whisper....

"yes."

A call to come away....

This time next week, I will be on a beach in Florida. He has called me to Himself, and I know He is going to speak to me there. Not that He can't speak to me here, He does, but there is a time that He calls us away. For a special time together.

I'm coming Lord, and I can't wait to meet You there. An anticipation is building in me as I chase after Him. Again, skipping and dancing to our meeting place. I can hear Him call, "Come away, My beloved...."

Marked Forever

I have a tattoo. Yep. I was thrilled when I found this picture because it represents what my tattoo means! Some time ago, the Lord called me to a higher place in worship, and as I stepped out in obedience, a friend had a vision of my dancing before my King in a field of daisies. She had no idea that my favorite flowers are daisies! But the Lord knew...and I knew His heart was pleased. My tattoo is around my right ankle. It has the Song of Solomon verse "My beloved is mine, and I am His" in hebrew with daisies intertwined.

I will dance before Him, because I know I am His and He is mine. Forever.
