Amazing Grace.... I am seeing it...

Aug. 28, 2009

I never cease to be amazed at not only Poppa's amazing grace but at His tolerance of my seeming inability to recall His faithfullness and mighty works in my life when I face a new assignment that I know is construction ground for the formation and maturation of the piece of the Fruit of the Spirit known as long suffering. How my flesh and mind recoil at the very mention, much less the meditation, of being in circumstances that prosper the developement of long suffering. Yet the longing in my heart to follow after Him (Song of Solomon 1:4) overpowers the spirits of fear and dread that would seek to hold me back from being at my Beloved's side as He leads me into battles where He gently, yet powerfullly transforms me into more of a reflection of His likeness and I am even more amazed at the brillant almost tangible manifestation of His very presence in the midst of these circumstances.

Three times in one day (Sunday Aug. 2, 2009) in 3 places He gave me Joshua 1:9 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong, vigorous, and very courageous. Be not afraid, neither be discouraged, for the Lord your God is with you WHEVEVER YOU GO." (Amp). As I recall so many times of my past where He has been with me in EVERY circumstance and situation I wonder how or why would I even glance at Craven Fear and Hedious Dread as I march with Jesus in new war to take back more of the "land" for Him and see more of His Kingdom come to earth? Victory after beautiful victory are framed in my heart's book of remembrance yet "I" allow my spiritual eyes to be drawn in fear and dread's direction..... and all the while Jesus is reaching for my hand, smiling His irresistible smile and whispering, "Come on My Beloved. I'm in command here. I've got not only your back but every side, top and bottom. NOTHING is too hard for ME..... and I'm already at the end of this. Time and space do now confine Me.... I'm already there/here in the victory, now just take My hand and let's take this territory back from the enemy. I have every weapon and provision you will ever need. And one more thing.... here is My Kiss of Victory, for the victory is already yours, take it and rejoice in Love."

I rejoice in what I am seeing God do right before my eyes. He is softening and reaching into Michael'heart. The eyes of his heart are truly being flooded with Light as he is beginning to see the Hope of God's calling to him. After a major breakthrough yesterday I am seeing the ice around his heart being melted. He even asked his daughter last night if she will bring his grandson over so he can tell him he loves him. I cry as I type these words because his daughter told me that he has never told his grandchildren that he loves them. This morning as he ate his breakfast I read to him from Proverbs and then asked him if he'd like to hear the scripture I'm praying for him. He said yes so I read to him Eph. 1:17-19 from the Amp. bible - For I always pray the God of our Lord, Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation of insight into mysteries and secrets in the deep and intimate knowledge of Him.
Byhaving the eyes of your heart flooded with Light, so that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called you, and know the glorious inheritance in the saints, His set-apart ones, and so that you can know and understand what is the unmeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength...

Michael then asked me, "Do you think I'm on the way?" to which I replied "Without a doubt!" Continue to pray for Michael that he will quickly accept Jesus and for healing of his body and complete restoration of his family. I am so excited to see what Poppa is doing I think I'll just go dance before Him! He loves our exuberant praise and worship of Him, so " Now to Him Who, by the action of His power that is at work within us, is able to do superabunantly, far over and above all that we dare ask or think, infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams (and our imaginations!) - To Him be glory in the chruch and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. AMEN (so be it)" !!!!!!! Much love and abundant blessings to each of you.
Outrageously abandoned to Him,
