MONDAY MORNING MESSAGE FOR The Eternal Body Of Christ 12-26-11
Gooood Morninnnnnnnnng,
Who has POA over your life? Power of Attorney...
"A power of attorney (POA) or letter of attorney is a written authorization to represent or act on another's behalf in private affairs, business, or some other legal matter. The person authorizing the other to act is the principal, grantor, or donor (of the power), and the one authorized to act is the agent, donee, or attorney[1] or, in some common law jurisdictions, the attorney-in-fact. Formerly, a power referred to an instrument under seal while a letter was an instrument under hand, but today both are under hand (i.e., signed by the donor), and therefore there is no difference between the two."
Hebrews 1:1-2 "In many and various ways God spoke of old to our Fathers by the prophets; but in these last days
He has spoken to us by a Son."
In all of our affairs, in all of life’s dealings: God delivers His instructions to us through people. It also says here; through various ways... (His ways are unique & personal enough to each person who receives them) & lastly, it says; “through a Son”, that being the person of Jesus & the Office He was born into, being King of Kings, from birth!
The people God chooses to reveal His words through (His agents) are ordained, not by paper or pretense but by purpose & petition. A true disciple, speaking prophetically, takes great care in the words used, yielding cautiously to the Authority of God which is empowering.
Likewise, the full Word that God has given, is His living word; In the life of Jesus Christ, God as man who walked among us. Many of His words urged & reminded us of the power of our own words. If you are not under His power you are under the power of the other entity, we are not our own & most are detrimentally unaware that POA over their lives exists. We were created, we did not arrive here on our own volition! Most of the human life is spent in giving over to something; a habit, a desire, a lifestyle, a force, a cause, a need...there are many areas where we disperse ourselves in yielding. It is when we take control back over the gateways of choice, of will, of mind, spirit & soul. A lot of these areas become compromised, by words! Wrong words believed in, can lead to destruction; depression, sin, hatred, loathing. Wrong words used, can lead to abuse; lies, manipulation, deception, wickedness. The power of life and death resides in the tongue...
PROVERBS 18:21 “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.”
Matthew 12:36 But I say to you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the
day of judgment.
Don’t become another “speaks much, does little” and don’t forget an idle word refers to thoughts as well. Idle words are words that get spoken in our mind as well as across our lips. Like the expression, "your words give you away"..think upon that! Are you claiming the Lord as your savior, is the confession of your lips consistent with the actions of your life? Be careful of what word seeds you plant because all shall know the tree by the fruit thereof!
Abba Father, reveal Yourself and Your Word to a sick and dying world. You, who has spoken the world into existence, speak over the lives of the elect, bring forward the righteous and admonish the wicked. Amplify the words of truth in the ears of those who shall receive it and set a noise of discernment over the words of deception spoken by ill fated foes. Help us to receive messages of hope and to amplify your truth to every open ear! Let the ears and the mouths of the wicked be shut.
Numbers 30:2 If a man vow a vow unto the LORD,
or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond;
he shall not break his word,
he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.
Psalms 25:20-21 O keep my soul, and deliver me:
let me not be ashamed;
for I put my trust in thee.
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me;
for I wait on thee.
Proverbs 12:22 Lying lips are abomination to the LORD:
but they that deal truly are his delight.
Proverbs 12:25 Heaviness in the heart maketh it stoop:
(heavy and hurtful) but a word maketh it glad.

MONDAY MORNING MESSAGE FOR The Eternal Body Of Christ 12-19-11
Goooood Morninnnnnnnnnnng!
Does the Sun need to be validated in order to shine brightly? ...No!
I recall an event years back; I was conversing within a group of friends and acquiantances, each was sharing valuable insights, stories &; assorted tidbits of information. A particular subject arose that I had measurable insight on, as I proceeded to speak, sharing what I knew; I was essentially called onto the carpet by someone to validate my words. Essentially what was said was that I speak with such Authority on things that a person might be inclined to just take what I say as fact regardless of whether or not it was valid. Yes, it was sort of insulting but I chose to address the real issue. I asked a few pointed questions, starting with; (1.) Have you ever known me to intentionally mislead anyone?...The answer, “No, you tend to take people under your wing, wanting to protect them”...I shook my head in agreement. Next, I asked, “Other than when I have something really amazing to share do you find me wrestling to dominate a conversation?”, The answer, again was...”NO, not at all, you are a great listener”...By now my leading questions agitated this person enough that they rebutted with , “Well, if what you say is true, who and what entity is the source, from where did you learn it?” I said; “Sometimes in life, the edification of actionable truth is more valuable that the pursuit of a validating the confined origin. Take what I say away with you and kick the tires a bit, you’ll come to find the soundness and solidity of it” For whatever reason God spoke through me in that and the issue was dropped.
Contrary to what was suggested; I am a huge proponent of validating, cross referencing, finding a solid footing to anchor a belief. There are some things that come to your knowledge by the spirit of God in an instant, where you don’t know how you know it, how it arrived other than the instant it clicks in your spirit. It is from this place where I had been speaking. It is the counterpoint of human intellect and a personal responsibility toward what is given and try it, search it out, ask for revelation, prove it right or wrong or just sit with it a bit and let God reveal the message with further confirmations in mind/soul/spirit.
I’ve always been what I would call the Ultimate Optimist, I have a great ability to imagine, dream and desire the best possible outcome. When faced with the opposite,in fact, it just assures me that it THEREFORE MUST EXIST, simply based on the principal that if there is an obvious down, there is also an up, even if it hasn’t shown yet. This world is temporal, a place of degrees and axioms.
The message that God has spoken so deeply on a level where words never even entered but only assured knowing is this, our experiences here are coming to a place of quickening; where thoughts become manifest, desires and dreams will drive up upon you, honking the horn, Impossible for some will be possible for others (for those who never dared to un-believe in them) limitations will be self induced prisons and the Children of God will be Casting out devils from those who have given themselves over to wrongful thoughts &; actions, Healing the sick for those who fear disease so deeply that they manifest it &; Moving Mountains out of the way for those who have built them on and with negative thoughts. All of these things will hinge upon harnessing God’s power, for those in close communion, full obedience and an eye on Zion!
It’s apropos at Christmas ( a time where miracles are expected) to deliver such a word. The instruction here from the Lord, is get very familiar with His word, it is the gateway to the fulfillment of every promise and every possibility. Faith is substance: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.~ Hebrews 11:1
As we believe, we shall receive, in accordance with Gods will!
Abba Father, we seek your Divine Guidance here on this subject; we are at a crossroads between the needs that we face and the solutions that we are willing to accept. Help us to stretch far beyond our limitations to believe upon those things which bring life, health and joy. Help us to shun the imaginings of every odd and weird thing that pertains to darkness and the what if’s of life. Help us turn our imaginations to believe upon All things possible within your Will and the Kingdom. In Jesus Mighty and precious name AMEN

MONDAY MORNING MESSAGE FOR The Eternal Body Of Christ 12-12-11
Gooood Morninnnnnnng,
Have a look at Ezekial 37: 1-14
What is the Lord showing us here in this scripture? He is instructing us to speak & declare unto the dead dry bones of our life; hopeless finances, failing health, lost opportunities, discord in relationships. God breathed all of creation into existence Gen 1:1-3, He spoke it into being; He had the first word and He'll have the last word too. Proverbs 16:1 It is through the anointed breath of God that life is issued as well as death Job 1:21. It is His instruction that makes everything function, He can do and undo anything! Gen 18:14
It is an amazing act of faith and obedience how Ezekiel chose to interpret and interact with this vision given by God. Likewise, we the Children of God, His church, have been brought to the land of dead dry bones. Look all around you, its evident everywhere, is it not? God is going to reveal Himself for us and through us. We suffer for lack of knowledge,(Hosea 4:6) the Lord wants us to press in deeper, to dig, to acquire and obtain these Kingdom principals because they are ultra important. As His children, we are heirs and entitled to the fruit of the pursuit. Just as in your own households, your children are entitled to grow, learn and prosper, correct? We, are likewise being trained up in the way in which to go. Proverbs 22:6 The Lord is showing us How to proceed, how to receive! Do you trust the Lord enough to realize that He can do things beyond what you can conceive and believe? It is God's right and pleasure to exercise dominion and power over His own! Job 25:2
A friend recently sent me a video segment by TD Jakes where He mentions the manifold Blessings of God and how they will be unfolding for the children of the King; He referred to them as "suddenlies". Low and behold, as I was reading this passage, there it is in verse 7; it says, "Suddenly as I spoke...." Suddenlies are the undeniable, unimaginable blessings that shall arrive in such a way, that it is known, whence and whom issued them, truly and only from the "Great, I am"!
Prophecy is instruction, encouragement, warning & enlightenment, it is breathed out by the Holy Spirit through the warm breathed uttering of His Faithful anointed ones. This is the the word of the Lord, the day of the Valley is upon us, the dead dry bones are about to come to life and all mankind, believers and unbelievers are going to behold the Undeniable and Great Giver of Life. We are in a season of dry bones, but not for long. The vigor and vitality of Gods elect will be restored and ultimately, all shall Know that God is God.
Let the Lord's word on what and who you are shape your belief, let God's word estimate your value; let's pull down blessings from heaven, walk in the shadow of His favor, escape harm under the cloak of divine protection and step into the realm of eternal divinity to commune with our King when we seek Him. AMEN!

1 The LORD took hold of me, and I was carried away by the Spirit of the LORD to a valley filled with bones. 2 He led me around among the old, dry bones that covered the valley floor. They were scattered everywhere across the ground. 3 Then he asked me, “Son of man, can these bones become living people again?”"O Sovereign LORD,” I replied, “you alone know the answer to that.”
4 Then he said to me, “Speak to these bones and say, Dry bones, listen to the word of the LORD! 5 This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Look! I am going to breathe into you and make you live again! 6 I will put flesh and muscles on you and cover you with skin. I will put breath into you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’”
7 So I spoke these words, just as he told me. Suddenly as I spoke, there was a rattling noise all across the valley. The bones of each body came together and attached themselves as they had been before. 8 Then as I watched, muscles and flesh formed over the bones. Then skin formed to cover their bodies, but they still had no breath in them.
9 Then he said to me, “Speak to the winds and say: This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Come, O breath, from the four winds! Breathe into these dead bodies so that they may live again.’” 10 So I spoke as he commanded me, and the wind entered the bodies, and they began to breathe. They all came to life and stood up on their feet – a great army of them.11 Then he said to me, “Son of man, these bones represent the people of Israel. They are saying, ‘We have become old, dry bones – all hope is gone. 12 Now give them this message from the Sovereign LORD: O my people, I will open your graves of exile and cause you to rise again. Then I will bring you back to the land of Israel. When this happens, O my people, you will know that I am the LORD. 14 I will put my Spirit in you, and you will liveand return home to your own land. Then you will know that I am the LORD. You will see that I have done everything just as I promised. I, the LORD, have spoken!”
Jeremiah 32:17
Ah Lord God! ... there is nothing too hard for thee.
Jeremiah 32:27
Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for the Lord?;
Matthew 19:26, Mark 10:27
With God all things are possible.
Luke 1:37
For with God nothing shall be impossible.
Luke 18:27
The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
Revelation 19:6
The Lord God omnipotent reigneth.

MONDAY MORNING MESSAGE For The Eternal Body Of Christ 12-5-11

Goood Morninnnnnnnnng,
Sunday's service was so awesome. I sat next to the most amazing man. When I came up to the row to be seated, he made room for me & warmly greeted me. During the sermon he nodded, looking my way and acknowledged me on occasion. During prayer with the whole assembly, he held my hand softly & during worship I could see enthusiasm like a glow beyond any I have ever witnessed.
To the left of me sat a woman named Theresa & her Husband Wesley Earl, wonderful people. She also took the occasion to great me & share of herself. As the service progressed, I was mesmerized by the most touching sermon of my life. The implications of the skit/play they had the youth production perform was provoking, it healed things long ago forgotten. "I don't need to conform, to fit in, to strive or wander away" I just need to stay fixed, safe in the embrace of my JESUS. He who has never betrayed me, never hurt me, never pushed me away. Always pure, always real and ALWAYS AVAILABLE.
Here is a youtube version of that skit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyheJ480LYA
I learned a wonderful lesson, perhaps one that has been a lifelong journey in the making. I am farther than I thought, closer than I think, "Into it fully" and it shows. I am on the enemies radar and He is running scared over me! I know it, I can tell and Jesus informed me as well! That's good, because; "Greater is He that is in me, than what used to be" After all, things do change; what's truly important is not that change occurs but rather WHO AND WHAT makes that change!
The sermon was fabulous, and it spoke so directly to my heart. I can convey it one simple sentence to you;" Be ready, be diligent, be patient, be about the Father's business, constantly!"..." We wait with trimmed lamps and we possess all we need to tarry as long as we always place our time and efforts in Him, where our resources are secured" MATTHEW 25:1-13 As I turned to leave, Theresa & her family said farewell. I walked out with that man, and He came with me on my Journey. His name is Jesus, He shared with me that He has been alongside of me all along! I bring Him with me everywhere I go and nothing will ever be the same!
The most important thing I can express is that He is here now and ready to accept you in...He will show you the way, walk in it, while you can. There will come a time when it is too late!
Abba Father, thank you for the gift of your presence, the sanctuary of your unending Love, the opportunities you provide to the entire world and how you hold each of us in the palm of your hand, singularly and completely. So intimate, so thorough, to the very marrow of bone...knowing the inner most parts, every fear, shortcoming and every thought. You see our potential, point the way, intercede on our behalf, stand close by, allow with a watchful eye, test from a vantage point of growth and propel your children onto the greatness of your designs in their purpose. Praise you Lord and May every life alive today come to know the greatness of thee. In Jesus Mighty and precious Name, Yehushua Hamashiak, Emmanuel, Lord of Lords and King of Kings! AMEN

MORE WONDERFUL VERSES TO ABSORB
For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by Him we cry, "Abba, Father." The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children.(Romans 8:15-16)...God does not judge by external appearance... (Galatians 2:6)
"Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you...For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior." (Isaiah 43:1-3)"I, even I, am the LORD, and apart from me there is no savior." (Isaiah 43:11)
A man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ...(Galatians 2:16)
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. (Galatians 2:20)
This is what the LORD says-- He who made you, who formed you in the womb, and who will help you...(Isaiah 44:2)
For He chose us in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in His sight. In love He predestined us to be adopted as His sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with His pleasure and will-- to the praise of His glorious grace, which He has freely given us in the One He loves. In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding. (Ephesians 1:4-8)
And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession -- to the praise of His glory. (Ephesians 1:13-14)

MONDAY MORNING MESSAGE FOR The Eternal Body Of Christ 11-28-11
Goooood Morninnnnnnnnnnng,
I was watching a home improvement program & the construction crew was about to pour concrete stairs, so they were forming it out. If you don't already know (it's simply a process of creating a support for wet concrete) similar to a mold, it's made of wood, it's carefully cut, assembled & anchored down. It has to be extremely supportive to hold the wet concrete while it forms up, it needs to be level, true and plumb. Alll stairs need to have a certain stride ratio; they discussed what they call a trip hazard, apparently as we rise and decline on stairs (the mechanisms in our brain) assumes the next step will be equal in distance and rise, if there is even the slightest variation it can cause the person to stumble (this is no good) and can be very dangerous.
Isa 8:15 And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.
Life is very much like this staircase....and the steps we travel on can be compared to day to day life. We travel up these stairs in years meaning our progressive walk toward union with the Lord. We also travel down these stairs as we are earthly creatures; attending appointments, chores, friends, responsibilities, that all require us to visit these other levels. After time, these stairs may not be so square as they used to be (worn over time) or perhaps we just added to our staircase to accommodate some new facet of life? Whatever the case, there are things we can do to help us stay on track, keep from stumbling and keep us moving safely along.
Seek the Lord's help to remove as many trip hazards as possible (even the subtle ones) they seem to be the worst because those are the ones that catch us when we aren't paying attention, when we are fatigued and tired from the trials of life. Is it not a Mother's greatest fear when her child transitions steps for the first time? Likewise, we need to recognize the steps we take and the steps that we make daily, we need to make them square, right and true. As with most things its the application of practice which leads to skill through conscious attention.
What are some trip hazards in your life?...Is it laziness, boredom, selfishness, carnal nature, love of possessions, lack of discipline, procrastination?...it can be as subtle as these or as severe as serious addiction, some people have and retain very destructive practices; addictions, urges and splurges, all in varying degrees.
Lk 10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
What Steps will you take today?....and more importantly, how will you be traveling on that staircase?
Isaiah 30:21 nd your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, walk you in it, when you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left.
Jeremiah 7:23-28New King James Version (NKJV)23 But this is what I commanded them, saying, ‘Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be My people. And walk in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well with you.’
2 John 1:6New King James Version (NKJV)6 This is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, that as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.

MONDAY MORNING MESSAGE For The Eternal Body Of Christ 11-21-11
by Susan Artszcraftsz on Monday, November 21, 2011 at 11:12am
Goood Morninnnnng,
Who can't relate to wanting to find a perfect sentiment to share with the one that you love, that perfect gift or just always remembering to do that special thing which you know deep down translates to them as, Wow!
As Christians, we grow up into the knowledge that God really does know us inside and out, after all, He did create us and He is intimately attuned to our needs, desires, quirks and abilities.
In some cases, we advance to a position in our walk with Him to recognize we need to seek to Know Him better, to know Him more, just as intimately. It's in the still moments, when peace is the buffer, drowning out the world. It's in the quiet confirmations that are fresh to your current events. The solitude of soul-itude; its the attitude of finding yourself by loosing yourself deep in the arms of the Lord.
A loved one only wants to hear, feel and know that they are valued and appreciated. In our relationship with God, He created us to discover Him, to seek Him, to Find Him, To know Him and to Love Him. We need to value Him, to appreciate Him and to Go to Him.
Like the child that maybe wandered off from Mommy or Daddy, it has its moments rooted in discomfort...the second we rediscover Daddy God is within earshot, our comfort returns and joy ensues. It is truly within the embrace of that Love, that we regain a respect for how and what is pleasing to the Lord.
Heavenly Father, help us to keep a better balance in our lives, to stay thirsty and to remain hydrated in the well spring of your Love. Let us praise you when we wake, let us thank you for every blessing, prayers answered, both small and great. Let us endeavor to learn more of You, to discover new depths of your goodness and mercy. Lord, we ask for supernatural encounters so deep in our being, where You are there and nothing else exists. To get caught up in Your presence and to forever be changed. Let the renewing and washing of our minds be our gifts of contact. Thank you Lord, for the many who will experience this in Your Mighty and Precious name, Yehushua, Our Lord, Jesus Christ AMEN!

Psalm 139
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
1 O LORD, You have searched me and known me.
2 You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.
3 You comprehend my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word on my tongue,
But behold, O LORD, You know it altogether.
5 You have hedged me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is high, I cannot attain it.

Seek the LORD while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near.

And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

It's never too early to have Thanksgiving, that is, if you really understand what it means and How powerful it is!
The principle behind Thanksgiving is the act of Gratitude, its an attitude of gratefulness. I enjoyed a wonderful sermon at Church yesterday, all about the transformative power of Christ in others lives, in our own and how there is a definite "Atmosphereic Change" that occurs when the presence of the Lord, comes from with us and through us. It brings about change and it causes change on every level.
I also came across an inspirational quote recently, "Every Saint has a Past and every Sinner has a Future"; it is so profund, because it describes all of humankind; whether transformed, reformed or conformed. All who are right with God should be giving thanks for that elite condition of Grace and sanctification. Every sinner should see a glimmer of hope in the knowledge that even the worst of infractions holds no power against him once Jesus enters his heart! In an instant, bad become good and wrongs are turned right.
Thankfullness and Thanksgiving go hand in hand. I remember my beloved Mother once telling me...Turn that frown upside down! explaining that being happy can cause you to smile, but then adding this one key fact, which I never forgot....she said, "Did you know it works in reverse?". I inquired, "No, what do you mean?"...she replied as she smiled;
"When you smile, it can cause you to become Happy!". Hallelujah, Thankfulness and Gratitude work this same way.
Give thanks forward to God, today, this minute, for anything and everything you can honestly express thankfulness for. See what transpires, the floodgates of blessing unfold in your heart, in your life and splay out before you. It wont be long before it permeates everything around and it for sure turns the tides of change for the better! The best way to get and keep your blessings is in Thanksgiving!
Psalm 100:4King James Version (KJV)4Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. I Cor. 15:57
O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever. I Chron. 16:34
Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. II Cor. 2:14
Romans 1:2121Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
There are over 70 verses in scripture on "THANKS"...giver it a look....http://www.blueletterbible.org/search/translationResults.cfm?Criteria=thanks&t=KJV&sf=5
Heavenly Father, I thank you for this Day, for every thing that transpired within it, enjoying all of the blessings you have prepared. Let us be thankful for every blessing. I am thankful for my wonderful family, great friends, loving pets, hobbies and tasks which lift my hands to. For the most amazing Peace and Joy which is embracing my heart. Every minute is spent in the shadow of your transforming Love. Lord, I pray that You reveal more of You, the Kingdom and the many blessings You have in store for us, your Church. Help us Oh Lord to never neglect to offer Thankfulness, in every situation. In the Mighty name of Yehushua, Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ AMEN.

MONDAY MORNING MESSAGE FOR The Eternal Body Of Christ 11-7-11
GOOOD MORNINNNNNNNG!
Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all things shall be added unto you....Matthew 6:33
How many of us are in the position of great need? Provision from the Lord is life and Life more abundantly! How do we recognize when we need the supernatural attention of God in the areas of our life where we are lacking? When you have run around in circles, exhausted every avenue? What happens when we get to the point of overwhelm, desperation? Is it finally then when we cry out, call out to God? Yes, usually this is the case. God wants to assure us that He is capable, especially when we are not. He wants to be the the first responder in our emergency and He wants us to be aware that He is where all blessings flow from. Praise and prays! Thank you Lord for my need and thank you Lord for meeting it, exceeding it!
"I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." —John 10:10
How do we usher in the provision of God? We usher it in through faith, obedience, praise, prayer and surrender.
There is one lesson in the bible that comes to mind;
1 Kings 17:7-16 the accounting of the Widow of Zeraphath during the time of drought in the region of Sidon at that time...
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Kings+17%3A7-16&version=NKJV
- The widow of Zeraphath represents those of us who are in a position of need.
- The Oil represents the anointing
- The bread is sustenance. The Lord is the bread of life.
She was promised that the jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil would not run dry until the day the Lord gives rain upon the land; this speaks to us about the drought times in life. I also suppose that at this point, faced with her meager leftovers, that a portion of it gone would not be much different than the end result. It is this very act that transitions from personal hardship to above and beyond her own circle. She trusted and put faith in that word, she went and did as the prophet said; trusting in the word sent to her by God. We need to step up in faith, giving to the Lord that trust; it is the Tithe of Belief (give Him credit as the one who can and the one who will) Believe to receive!
Paul writes that "if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise." (Galatians 3:29 )My God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:19)Psalm 77:14 “You are the God who performs miracles; You display your power among the peoples.”
We need to come into Unity with His word, through strong faith, deep need, total praise and thankfulness. A release within the release, a friend recently mentioned to me. This speaks to me on so many levels. We have to let our abilities and striving take the backseat when it comes time to let God drive us over that finish line. Release your trust, release your praise and worship toward the Lord, recognize this as the only effective action you can take... motions will resume but this time fueled with the knowledge that God can put the High in your octane, accelerating the onset of every need being met; personal, financial and situational.
Heavenly Father, I thank you for the times of great need that you have placed me in. I can see how great and merciful you are as in times past when my need exceeded my ability and then you rushed in to comfort and sustain me. I pray that I shall always remain just as sure of You no matter what life may present to me. I have been high and I have been low but I fully know that you are here with me, wherever I may go! I promise to you this day, with the greatest of ease because I know You are unfailing...that I shall always trust in You. Trust, faith and assurity; when they are turned over to you, are the begins of great things. Thank you Lord for trials of life that have shown me How truly amazing you are. Thank you for using them to bring me great blessings for they also strengthened me that I might help others. I am grateful for the position I have with You; your beloved child, forever indebted, blissfully happy and secured for all eternity! In the Mighty name of Yehushua, Our Lord and Savior AMEN
