Revealing Truth

O Father,
What is the truth that is needed to be released
Into my soul at this moment
For freedom to reign?

Is it the truth that the Anointed One lives inside me
And the same power that raised Christ from the dead is alive in me?

Is it the truth that there is no condemnation for me now
Because I am in Christ Jesus?

Is it the truth that the Father desires for my soul to prosper in all things
Even in this difficulty at this moment?
Is it the truth that He has good plans and abundant grace for me?

Is it the truth that I am dearly loved, exceedingly blessed, and highly favored?

Is it the truth that because I am His
That as He is, so am I?

Do I know that no weapon formed against me can prosper
Because greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world?

My soul needs to know that I am royalty,
A daughter of a King
With provision from an open heaven.

It needs to know that the favor and glory of God is surrounding me...

My soul needs to know that my God hears my cry, knows my voice,
And is even acquainted with my sigh.
Yes, every detail of my life is known by my Father, my God.

Yes, my soul needs to know that God cares, God is fighting, God is moving!

But most of all,
My soul needs to know that it is the beloved one, the rescued one, the favored one...

As my soul embraces the truth
Light comes bursting through...
Freedom comes...
Joy rises...
Peace reigns...

Thank you Jesus for the privilege of being Yours!

It is the blessing of heaven
The blessing of hope,
The blessing of peace, the blessing of strength,
The blessing of wisdom, the blessing of favor,
The blessing of prosperity, the blessing of unity,
The blessing of laughter and joy...

Because heaven is inexhaustible...
This is your inheritance, child of God
That rests upon you
As you sleep, as you work, as you travel, as you study,
As you cook supper, as you mow lawn...
In your everyday...

You do not see it, dear one,
But heaven sees,
And the angels are in awe and wonder,
Your community...your world recognizes the strength, favor and light that you emit...

Yes, "the blessings that rest on the righteous release strength and favor to an entire city."
Proverbs 11:10.

The Heart of the Father

Run, my friend, into the heart of your Father.
This is a heart that cares,
This is a heart that know all things,
This is a heart that is always there for you,
This is a heart that never gives-up on you,
This is a heart that has given Himself for you...

Hide yourself, my friend, in His heart.
You are safe there,
Safe from the accusations, the tormenting fears, the condemnation of the enemy...

In His heart, you will discover strength and comfort.
His heart understands, It has experienced your temptations, it has felt your pain,
His heart has experienced it all,
And has overcome in victory!!!

His heart says, "Rise up!"
"I have overcome, I am with you, I have paid the price,
 I have already established your provision for this need, for your every need."

His heart infuses hope!
It infuses a hope that is anchored to the mercy seat
The mercy seat that His Son, Jesus, has gone in before us
And prepared with His crimson blood.

His heart, that infuses hope
That is anchored, fastened to the mercy seat,
The love seat that is sprinkled with the blood of Jesus, His Son, the Lamb of God...

His heart, that infuses hope,
An unshakable hope
Found here...
In the heart of your Father,
Who loves you completely, perfectly, magnificently...

Run to His heart...
There you will be safe!

He Does Not Disappoint

I will never be disappointed believing in You, Jesus,
I will never be disappointed believing in Your Word,
I will never be disappointed believing in Your promises,
Oh, I will never be disappointed believing You are good, You are able, You are strong!

I will never be disappointed believing You love me,
That I am Your chosen one,
Your beloved, the one You take delight in...

I will never be disappointed waiting for Your best...
I will never be disappointed seeking Your wisdom, your path, Your advise...

I will never be disappointed resting in Your finished work,
Your finished work at the cross,
That brings me to victory, peace, joy and wholeness...

I will never be disappointed loving You, Jesus,
With all my heart, soul, and mind.

I will never be disappointed believing in You, Jesus, because You do not disappoint!

"Everyone who trusts in Him will never be disappointed." Romans 10:11

The Sound

There is a sound that the Father wants us to hear
It is the sound of joy, the sound of happiness, the sound of laughter
That comes straight from His heart, His being, His mouth to mine...

The Father wants me to hear His delight.
He wants me to hear the song of joy He is singing...
Singing to me,
The song He is singing about His delight and pleasure that He finds in me...
His song shouts His desire to bless abundantly, protect entirely, and provide profusely.
Yes, His song sings of His goodness...

If I could hear this song
And believe the words...were really about me...today...at this moment
If I could hear them in the storm and chaos of life...
How different my thoughts would be,
How great my praise, my laughter,
How free I would be of those intruders of anxiety, worry, frustration and offense.

Holy Spirit,
Give me ears to hear this sound
And a heart that believes it as Truth.

Yes, Father,
When my eyes are on your beautiful face
And my ears are tuned in to hear your voice,
The happy sound begins to sing...

Hidden

Hidden
In His strength
Where I can only see, hear, feel and know
His bigness, His power, His glory...

Hidden
And seeing the greatness of His power
The majesty of His grace,
The depth of His love,
The vast supply of His power, protection, and provision...

Hidden
Not running here and there, fretting and striving.

Hidden
Letting My God do what He loves to do...
Take care of me.

It's here,
When I am hiding in You, God,
That the enemy cannot touch me...

Yes, when I am hidden in my Big God,
I can laugh at those puny attacks of distraction.

Here with You,
My weaknesses, faults, and failures disappear,
As I discover
That it is all about You, God.

With You I am safe!

Rise up From the Dust

Dear sons and daughters of the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords,
The Lord wants His children to wake up
Wake up to His goodness,
 Remember His faithfulness,
 Remember His grace and the promises He has spoken.
The Lord wants His children to wake up
And see Him in all His glory, all His power, all His strength, and all His love...

He says,
"Rise up from the dust,
 That place of smallness of mind,
 The barrenness, the striving,
 The only seeing today mentality.
 This dust is not the place I have for you,
 This place where you allow the enemy to torment you
 With fear, bitterness, resentment, gloom, anxiety, and moaning."

He continues, encouraging me as He pleads,
"Put on your beautiful cloths,
 Those cloths that I paid for with My broken body and poured out blood,
 That robe of righteousness that I have freely given you...
 Put it on...precious one,
 Put it on precious one, and know that you are righteous."

 "Yes you...the one
  Who thinks you have failed, sinned and don't deserve the gift.
  Yes you..the one
  Who is broken and wounded from life, afraid to hope, afraid to lift your head...
  Yes you...the one
  Who has gone into unbelief for a season and now sees the futility of it all.
  Yes you...the one
  Who feels the Lord could not accept you back after all you have done."

"Yes you.." He whispers,
"Rise up from the dust and clothe yourself with your beautiful clothes!"

"Yes," He continues,
"This robe of righteousness has been yours ever since you have become Mine.
  You do not have to obtain to wear this robe..."

"Precious one," He whispers,
"When you wear this robe and know that it is yours...
  You put Me on.
  You clothe yourself with My righteousness, My glory, My strength, My authority,
  My peace, My joy...
  You see,
  It is not about what you have done or have not done...
  It is about what I have done."

"And dear one," He gently continues,
"Those slave bonds that are around your neck...
  Slip them off...
  I paid for you to have complete freedom,
  Remove those thoughts that keep you acting and believing like a slave,
  Instead of remembering that you are Mine.
  Those thoughts of "poor me,"
  Those thoughts of "never enough,"
  Those thoughts of "it's my right."
  Refuse to give power to any spirit that wants to torment and destroy,
  Refuse to allow these bonds to keep you in the dust,
  In that place where you really do not want to be."

Yes, beloved one of the King,
The Father's plan has always been for you to be in the beautiful green place with Him,
The beautiful green, broad place
Where you know you are the righteousness of Christ
That place where you know you are loved completely, accepted fully and highly favored...

Yes, precious son or daughter of the King,
Enjoy the goodness of your God!!!

Isaiah 52
