Seek HIS Face, and NOT His hand
This morning is the 25th of January. The number 25 represents BLESSING. Oh my we are in NEED of that as HIS COGS. The number 1 is New Beginnings. So we are in the month of new beginnings. Many people look at us wondering why we have JOY. They ask why are you Jubilant? Perhaps, because they don’t understand the TRUE JOY of GOD. It is NOT based on circumstances. It is based on HIS LOVE, and how much of it WE are willing to receive.
Our family chooses daily to become SATURATED in the LOVE of GOD. It is the most AMAZING, WONDERFUL, BEAUTIFUL, PRECIOUS, HEALING, PHENOMENAL, INDESCRIBABLE gift that we can enjoy. It is FREE for us to receive because JESUS, the son of GOD and our brother, died on a CROSS over 2,000 years ago. He did this so HIS seed could be planted once again. It was planted when He was birthed as a human. Birthing can happen so many times. He is birthed again through us, HIS brothers and sisters daily as well.
GOD is NOT limited by ANYTHING!!!! Yesterday, I was really being challenged. My earthly father passed from this earth. The challenge came in seeing how everyone responded. When people pass on, no one knows how to take it. We stand not in judgement in any way, shape of form. Because we know how it feels to be judged. We simply keep praying and praising. GOD will finally change things. When He does it will be JUST the time it is needed. He is ALWAYS on time. God is never early, or late. HE alone is perfect!!!
I thank GOD that even though it looks like the enemy is winning, he is NOT!!!!!! I am not a religious person. I don’t look at the situation and try and always make it about GOD. It just IS about HIM. So, no matter how people think He can be removed, He cannot. People may look at me or us and think we do this, but the fact is GOD just keeps our focus on HIM. When we begin to receive that WE are truly LOVED and we cannot earn HIS grace, mercy or peace which comprise HIS LOVE, then and ONLY then can we walk in HIS FREEDOM!!!!!!!!
SO, I personally repent for myself and others in the body of Christ. We have been and many are being affected by things surrounding them or others around them, and also for allowing my focus to be removed from GOD, even for a moment. I ask HIM to forgive me and release me from burdens I don’t need to try and carry. I come out of agreement with ANY offenses. I choose today to stay DIVORCED from the enemy of our souls. In Jesus Holy name and blood we affirm our GOD who is comprised of our Heavenly Father, His Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. GLORY to our mighty and awesome GOD!!!!! IJN AMEN
We have to seek HIS face and NOT His hand. God is not here to give us a hand out. He is here to give us a hand UP out of the pit. Will you take HIS hand and climb out of the quicksand??? This is a daily act and sometimes moment to moment as well. Please FORGIVE yourself and all the people the enemy has used to wound you. It begins with just that one thing. When we choose forgiving GOD moves so mightily?
Don’t we ALL need something Glorious to happen? DO you not know how much GOD wants that too? He LOVES LOVES LOVES to bless us, HIS kids. DEATH is not the end of everything. It is simply like high school to college. It is similar to traveling abroad to a NEW land. It is a NEW start and a NEW BEGINNING and more work than we could ever imagine in the holiest of ways, as that new life starts. When we truly understand that WE are already dead in CHRIST in the sense that, WE died with HIM, we fear NOT any DEATH. WE are ALIVE in HIM because HE LIVES in US and we have the JOY of being resurrected through HIM as well.
We have seen Resurrections and been them. Our eyes cannot ever be the same. Our prayer is that GOD reveal HIS truth to the many who are locked into deception. We have been there, and still surrender daily. We are NOT in any way better than anyone else. GOD is though, and HE alone will turn situations around. GOD does not HAVE to include us. He simply does because HE LOVES US!!!!!
So are you seeking HIS FACE so that YOU will recognize it? Because soon THAT will be even more necessary than it used to be. The windows of HIS GLORY are open for everyone wanting to receive. BUT, there will be a time when HIS windows close. LORD, have your way in our lives. Teach us more and more about who YOU are and transform us in the process.
