Yours for His. Approaching God he’s asked, what’s that in your hand? It is an astonishing fact that God uses what we already possess to minister strength to us and to the nations. We have his Holy Word, and his word requires us to wait upon Him; meaning “to serve him”. As we pray for others, speak words of encouragement, give to the poor Proverbs 19:4, then strength becomes an active part of our inheritance.

Isaiah 40:31 King James Version (KJV)

³¹ But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

God is establishing you for such a time as this!

Isaiah 60 King James Version (KJV)
60 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.
2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

Early on in the lives of those that the Lord has so chosen, he refines, he sharpens, he prepares them for the monumental tasks ahead. If you find yourself in this category rejoice! Now stay in position for your on the launching pad. You shall be sooo elated as to where your are going from here.

John 3:21 King James Version (KJV)
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God

Shipmen are guided safely both day and night, by trusting the navigational devices on board or in sight. The Word of his righteousness in which you possess, keeps your gaze, and will deliver you in many ways.

Isaiah 32:17

King James Bible
And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever

New King James Version (NKJV)

Ohh yes these guys, (Angels) are real, and they are big. I have seen them on several occasions, working on my behalf and on the behalf of others. On one such occasion, I was in the presence of one who had an angry violent spirit. That individual began to speak very abrasively to me. One of these angels appeared to my side. He had a sword that was in his hand. It was pointed towards the ground it had the writing on it, “Salvation.” It was interesting because the sword appeared to be blunt or squared off instead of pointed or sharp. Seconds after his appearance, the individual tuck his head and walked away. I can imagine the Apostles reaction when released from that prison and the angels said, “go stand in the temple and preach all the words of this life.” Acts 5:20.

Brothers and Sisters, live in right standing with God, and believe his word. These are not just fables and stories of yesteryear. God is the same and his words will never fail.

Psalms 91:10-12

10There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

11For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

12They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

Qualities that reflect a maturing believer

For the one who is maturing understands, that if those people could see behind the scenes, what manner of spirit was driving them into darkness, they would flee from it’s influence and embrace the King. The maturing believer will pray and intercede, and petition God for their souls. Did you know God is able to pull back the curtain and show the sinner his ways? Sure, He’s depending upon you and me to so maneuver in gentleness that he can reach them before it’s too late.

Love becomes gentle when dealing with those dangling over a precipice. You may be the one that is responsible for them hearing clearly the message of our Lord and escaping an undesirable end.

Colossians 3:12 New International Version (NIV)

¹² Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

Translated into the Kingdom Of his dear Son Col.1:13. We live in such a place that God’s protective forces surround us.

The Angel Of The Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, or (have a reverential awe and respect for him,) And delivereth them. Psalms 34:7

Hold fast to what God has given you ( Your Inheritance)

Because there is an enemy arrayed against you that will try to take it away. That means you may have to exert some energy, or some vigor. Once you learn where the attack has gotten in, rise up with the word and drive it out.

Matthew 7:24-27 

The Wise and Foolish Builders

24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”

When the storm comes, rise up to meet it with the word. Sickness, poverty, fear. etc.

Out of a heart of pure Love, God has drawn you unto himself. He sat by and watched at every hour. Waiting with an insatiable anticipation for you to except his invitation. ( those who haven’t come to him as of yet, Come to Jesus right now.) Today, as we look into the faces of the masses, the Lord has put within each of us who have been recipients of his Love, that same eager yearning to watch for them hour, by hour. Till the day star dawns in their hearts.

Jeremiah 31: 3

The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.
