Little Strength


 

LITTLE STRENGTH 

 

“I know all that you’ve done. 

 

Now I have set before you a wide-open door[a] 

that none can shut.[b] 

 

For I know that you possess only a little power (strength),

 

yet you’ve kept my word 

and haven’t denied my name”

 

Revelation 3:8. TPT

 

 

What do you do in the times you feel you have little to no strength?

…when you feel you have no POWER to bring forth the Kingdom of God in your life… let alone demonstrate HIM to the world?

 

Isaiah 37:3 This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth

 

 No strength to bring forth …!???!

 

Sometimes we get so focused on our performance and production, that we forget the relationship that conceived in us whatever we are supposed to birth. 

 

 

We lost the joy of our expectancy. 

 

 

In his presence there is fullness of joy, (Ps 16:11)

 

The joy of the Lord is our strength. ((Neh 8:10)

 

 

You have carried this “child” for a long time. You are in pain… weak… and weary. You have begun questioning if you were even pregnant at all… or if it was even from HIM. 

 

 

Transition is the hardest part of any pregnancy. 

 

It is the time of the most pain, confusion and  frustration. 

 

THE TIME FOR BIRTH IS HERE!

 

Everything is getting positioned to bring forth. 

 

 

Isaiah 30:15 For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength:

 

 

So…

 

 RETURN TO HIS PRESENCE. 

 

Hear again what He speaks… restoring the joyfulness of your expectancy…

 

AND REST…

 

Isaiah 66:9–10  “Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? 

saith the LORD: 

shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? 

saith thy God. 

Rejoice!…”

 

 

Eph 6:10 AMP

 

“In conclusion, 

 

be strong in the Lord 

 

[draw your strength from Him 

 

and be empowered through your union with Him] 

 

and in the power of His [boundless] might.”

LET YOUR FRUIT SPEAK

Image
LET YOUR FRUIT SPEAK?     People say, , “God told me”…  or “Holy Spirit directed me…”or… “this business belongs to Jesus, He tells me what to do!”     WHY?     Why do they preface THEIR works with such statements?     Isn’t it a ruse of the enemy to keep them unapproachable, uncorrectable, and continuing their own way without interference? … ITS INTENT: prevent ANYONE from speaking into them or the situation… After all… “who are YOU to contradict what God has said?”     “Every tree is known by his own fruit.” (Lk6:44) “…by their fruits you shall know them.” (Mtt7:20)   An apple tree does not have to tell you it is one… it just bears apples! …a cherry tree bears cherries.    You can tell a Dogwood Tree by its “Bark”… well… maybe that doesn’t fit the analogy.     If I have to tell you I am a certain type of tree, it is probably because there is NO FRUIT to make identification easy.     “He that speak...

FORMING YOUR WORLD

  Forming Your World     Have you been in a place in life where you feel like your world has no form, reason, nor rationale to it… like it is void of meaning or direction… and it seems like the darkness is so deep and thick that you not only can't see, but are so disoriented you have no clue as to which way is up?     How do you get out of THAT?     Gen1:1-2 describes just that scenario, but on a grand universal scale: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep.”     The rest of verse 2 begins to show the hope in the midst of the vast void…                   “…And the Spirit of God MOVED UPON the face of the waters.”             “MOVED UPON” is from a primitive Hebrew root word meaning: to brood: to hover, flutte...

CONVICTION

Image
  CONVICTION   I have frequently heard the phrase, “the Holy Spirit CONVICTED me”… or… “I was CONVICTED by the Lord”.  As a young boy I was taught that God was this big eye in the sky continually watching to see if I was being good… and the Holy Spirit, being on my shoulder, would  speak in my ear to bring that guilt… shaming me back to the right path.the moment I stepped out of line   But… why did Jesus send the Holy Spirit to us?     In  Jn16:7 Christ calls the Holy Spirit “ THE COMFORTER ”. He uses the term, “ parakletos ”, which was used in NT times of an  attorney (lawyer)… someone  giving evidence that stands up in court .   It comes from two words: “ para ” (close-beside), and “ kaleo ” (make a call). The word properly means: a legal advocate, advisor, or alongside helper who makes the right judgment- call  because  close  enough to the situation.       Zech3 clearly portrays a courtroom drama u...
