I was led to go into my journals today and found these two words that I believe speak to our day.

Quiet time—Asking God to bring my mind into focus with Him.
Psalm 23 comes to mind: The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.KJV
Father, where are the green pastures and still waters today?
In Me, Beloved. In Me. Find your rest in Me. The more you give into resting completely in Me the more you will see where we are going and your part in it.
Father, I keep falling asleep.
I must put you to sleep to put your mind at rest. Your mind is a wonderful tool under proper administration. Let Me have your mind.
Vision–See myself as a pre-teen riding on the waves in Santa Barbara with my wave board. Feel the water beating my body and coming away completely relaxed and at peace.
The waves are going to be very rocky Beloved. They will beat hard and at times tumble you end over end beneath the surface. But My grace will sustain you and My Spirit will lead you.
There will be a high tide at high noon. All that can come against My Body, will, as I stand ready to rescue and to save.
Call on Me in your hour of confusion and fear and I will be with you. There is never a reason to fear, for I am on your side.
All that can be shaken is beginning to shake but all that remains will be glorious.
Don’t fear the process for it is I who is in charge. For my glory and for My sake it must take place.
Pray My timing is honored and that the hoards of hell are held in check for My bidding. Pray that the righteous awaken and fall on their knees in repentance and prayer for the nations. Pray for their forgiveness and I will forgive. Pray for their salvation, and I will save. Their times and yours are in My hands.
Time is short. Time is short. Prepare your hearts and pray for My will to be exercised in all things. There is nothing too hard for Me. NOTHING. What men have done in My name can be stricken from the record with prayer.
I will manifest My glory
I will manifest MY glory
I will MANIFEST My glory in ways that will humble the proud and bring kingdoms to naught.
Pray for the weight of My glory to fall. My glory will crush and it will heal. There is a way that seems right but the end thereof is death. The rulers of your land have chosen such a way. Pray.

At 4:00 in the morning it was already 72 degrees and heading for 109. Was talking to God about the heat and it’s possible causes, when I heard:
It’s going to get hotter, Beloved, and I’m not talking about physical temperature. The enemy thinks he’s won and his victory is sure (homosexual marriage approval this week by the Supreme Court). There will be a season where it will also appear to the Church that the enemy has won.
Fear not but believe that no weapon formed against My Word will prosper. What appears to be victory will be overturned when My Body wakes up and takes their place in prayer and in the positions of rule I’ve chosen for them.
Fear not for I am with you. When you walk through the fire of trials and testing you will not be burned, if you keep your eyes on Me and off the enemy activity. He isn’t worth a second of your consideration, not one second.
If there are things you need to know about him, in order to do My will, I will show you. Don’t focus on his activity. Focus on My ability, My love, and My faithfulness.
I brought Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego through the fiery furnace. I brought Daniel out of the lion’s den and delivered Paul so many times he couldn’t count them.
In this world, you will have tribulation, but I have overcome the world. Look to Me and you will see ALL that you will ever need and more to face every trial.
You are called to be a light in the darkness. You can’t shine with My Light if you are immersed in fear and worry.
There is victory ahead for those who will walk with Me. Faith is key. Ask Me for My faith and I will change your darkness to light with one word from My mouth. Your faith won’t save you, but Mine will. As deep calls to deep, I will ignite the measure I’ve placed in each one of you if you will ask Me.
Time with Me is more important than your next breath. Come away. Leave the world and it’s struggles behind and be with Me. You won’t be disappointed.
When I opened my Bible, it fell open to Haggai 2:6-9
“For thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘Once more (it is a little while) I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land; 7 and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this temple with glory,’ says the Lord of hosts. 8 ‘The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,’ says the Lord of hosts. 9 ‘The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former,’ says the Lord of hosts. ‘And in this place I will give peace,’ says the Lord of hosts.” NKJV
It’s so hard to imagine how powerful He is – and then why we worry at all… So good, maryellen, so good…xoxox
Yes, Nancy, it is impossible to imagine how powerful He is. Isaiah 40 is one of my favorite chapters. In it is says the nations are as a drop in the bucket and He weighs them as dust on the scales.
We’ve put Him into our “Good, Good Father,” box (which He is), but He is SO MUCH MORE!!
In these crazy times, we all need an upgrade in our view of God. God bless you Nancy.
Hi Mary Ellen!
Awesome….awesome…awesome Word! I must put this in my journal to read as much as needed. Such precious Words from Abba! And such Power behind them!
I forgot this came into my email today. I meant to read it earlier, but had much to do. My attention was drawn back to it tonight and I’m so glad about that! Truly blessed me. 🙂
Love and Blessings to you!
I am so glad Elisha. It blessed me to find it again today. It is a word of hope and encouragement for sure.
Love and blessings to you as well.
