Sowing Time

We are living in time of great revelation. But it is hard. In fact it even hurts.

You are like a garden to me that has been hidden. I come to my garden to see what fruit is on the trees.  In your worship and praises you build a platform and a throne for me to come.
When you move into a new house often the sol in the garden is hard. Perhaps building work around the property has made the ground tough. Perhaps the builders themselves have compacted the ground as they have worked.

May I make a suggestion... you are a work in progress. What will be has not yet been fully formed.  This is a crucial time in your growth don’t let anyone burden you again.

REMEMBER THE LORD. When all seems so hard and bitterness tries to overshadow.

REMEMBER THE LORD!!

In Mark 4, Jesus talked of the word of God being as a seed. Some fell on stony ground and the sun came up and there was no real root for the seed and some fell among thorns and was choked but some fell on GOOD SOIL... Let Him find the good soil.  Don’t despair because the ground seems stony, beneath it is good soil.

In Bath, dig a bit deeper THERE IS GOOD SOIL.

In your own hearts abandon bitterness and REMEMBER THE LORD

But how do I dig deeper... well do the thing that you are anointed for. If it has God’s approval it will MOVE MOUNTAINS.

Wood For Trees

When I can’t see wood for trees,
And the way is overcast and drear,
No light to clearly see the way,
The winding path, whilst there, creates a fear,
Where are You Lord, where are You?

‘My child, why do you fear the way I lead?
Though overcast and drear it seems,
Do you not know I lead the way,
And I will safely keep your steps, until you know
With certain hope that I am with you.

So, speak Lord, in the quiet glade,
Where leaves cast dancing shadows bright ,
And speak, Lord in the darker place,
When light is dim and uncertain steps are all my sight,
Speak, Lord, speak Your word to me.

‘Take time, my child, and learn of Me,
Allow yourself in this quiet space,
Although uncertain seems the way
Seek my face in the stillness of this quiet place,
For there I’m found .. be found of me.’

And at your voice the way ahead grows light,
And wider, safer, clearer seems the path,
A new perspective of your love I grasp,
That in the drear, the overcast, yet You are there
And it is Your heart that leads me through..

Time To Sow

We are living in times of great revelation.  God’s spirit is raining upon us.

However the enemy is a good liar and seeks to deceive.  He roams around as a lion looking for those that he can devour.  It is good to be wise but not overly fearful.

For many years you have been faithful and ploughed in ground that was hard.  I called a famine and a drought upon the ground.  But now I cause it to rain.

The rain of my Spirit causes you to praise and worship.  I show you things that have been hidden for so long.  I exhort you to listen and record what comes to you.  It is GOLD.

The enemy lies to you and tries to squeeze you and put you on the defensive.  However this is the time to sow.  To plant your dreams.  Sow your prayers.  Listen to what is said and bring it as petitions to me.  Sow your time and your resources.  At a time when the enemy tells you that you don’t have much... reject that LIE... because you are rich.  You are rich IN HIM.  Your faith is as gold and has been refined in an intense fire recently.

Gideon hid what little he had (Judges 6) and after receiving angelic revelation he was convicted to give even that.  The bible encourages you to give yourself as a living sacrifice (Romans 12).

Smile or Simile?

The New President of Iran seems friendly enough. He doesn't look like the sort to pretend to be moderate whilst secretly continuing with Iran's plans to nuke Saudi Arabia and Israel.

Shall we trust him?. Well he does have a lovely smile...

We can then leave the rest to history...

Matthew 7:15-16
“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?"

For Someone Out There

Still lobbying people with your vitriolic opinions? Despising God's choice of leader?
Do you not even have a trace of "The fear of The Lord"?

"... Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves." - Romans 14:22

Sorry, but...

All Is Stripped Away

Work within God’s plan at this time.  Are you feeling constrained... restricted... cut back.  You must react with a thankful heart.  Does it seem unfair... does it look like everyone else is free and your not.  GOD KNOWS WHAT IT COSTS YOU TO STAY ABOVE WATER AT THE MOMENT.

When the Jews were in the wilderness all they could see everyday was desert,  all they could feel was thirst.  But God was TESTING them to see if they would follow Him.  GOD IS ALLOWING THIS TO SEE WHATS IN YOUR HEART.  They had a choice... moan and get bitter and WANDER or SUBMIT and remember The Lord.

If He marked our iniquities who would stand...we all like sheep have gone astray.  God disciplines those He loves... He saves us from ourselves.

The Cannon of Scripture

Come in the opposite spirit.  The enemy is trying to cause you to be bitter and stay in that offence.  Praise is a powerful weapon.

This is a season of preparation if you are pruned it is to bear more fruit.  If all is stripped away it is because He Has an eye and a hand upon you for greater things.  But remember that HE IS YOUR REWARD.  His approval His affirmation.

There is so much more so... IF HE IS SAYING GO FORWARD THERE IS A REASON.

LET HIM HEAL YOU.

God Disciplines Those That He Loves

It is time to SUBMIT to the process. We humble ourselves and He lifts us up when He is ready.  Be careful of trying to make things happen.

There is a very clear distinction coming between things done in the spirit and things done in the flesh.  In the past there was more room and grace for our pain. There is always GRACE and patience but now God is declaring that we just need to trust Him and not question so severely.

The route to healing is by moving forward. To the man born blind he had no real point of reference, other than to trust the voice of Him who called him forth.

Work thankfully with whatever you have in your life at present. Be on the alert at the same time. THE ENEMY ROAMS AROUND LOOKING FOR THOSE THAT HE CAN DEVOUR... but do not be afraid... God is one step ahead... ONE HUNDRED STEPS AHEAD.

Even if you cannot see a way ahead LISTEN TO HIS VOICE. YOU WILL HEAR A VOICE BEHIND YOU SAYING... THIS IS THE WAY.

If you allow Him He will open the eyes of your heart fully. In time you will stand up tall and breath... saying... WHAT EXCITING THING WILL WE DO TODAY LORD... WHO CAN I BLESS.

He has heard your deepest cries from the deep. He will BREAK the pattern!!!
