Room/Spread Out!

Today we're raising high praises to the God who makes "room" for us. Have you ever been in a situation where it looked like you would never find "your place"? Did it look like the opposition, fighting for position, jealousy and strife stirred by the enemy, always pushed against your purpose? Then, SUDDENLY God opened doors that no one could shut! God, turned your sorrow into joy! God turned the negative into a positive and gave you the victory in the middle of the struggle! 

This is exactly the place where Isaac and his company found themselves in Genesis 26. His father Abraham had passed away and he was faced with opposers who were afraid that his success would be their downfall. There was a famine in the land and water seemed scarce, so Isaac & Company went digging wells that his father had dug before. Everytime they found spring water, their opposers came and spoke evil and became quarrelsome towards them. Out of fear, they stole what was rightfully his. Instead of giving in to fear and losing hope, Isaac and company dug another well. This is what the Bible says about it in Genesis 26:22 "And he moved away from there and dug another well , and for that one they did not quarrel. He named it REHOBOTH [room], saying, For now the Lord has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land."

My friends this is what God does when we keep pressing forward in the face of opposition. Keep his high praises in your mouth as you see the God of heaven move in your life. 

I proclaim that your opposers will be silenced, you will enter your wealthy place and you WILL be fruitful in that place. May God silence every dissenting voice to your progress and may HIS purpose prevail in your life. 

Meditation:

Psalm 21:1-2(AMP)

1) The King [David] shall joy in Your strength, O Lord; and in Your salvation how greatly shall he rejoice! 

2) You have given him his heart's desire and have not withheld the request of his lips.

Yet, I Will Rejoice!

Can you take a moment to journey with me through a very short, but powerful scene in the Bible? Im looking through the lens of Habakkuk and power truths about rejoicing in difficult times, stood out! I realized  that the circumstances for Israel at that time, didnt look good. His people were suffering greatly; his heart was overwhelmed with concern for them, and he cried out to God with questions, as he waited for the One true God to answer. 

Does this sound like something you may have felt as you cried out to God concerning circumstances in your life or those whom you love? Well, if you're in that place, you're in a good place because God Always answers a heartfelt, sincere prayer. In fact, in Habakkuk 3 God speaks to his servant and tells him his plan of deliverance for the people, and he will do the same for you.

He may not come to you in a vision, but he will answer you, as you trust him, and put your faith in him.  While you're waiting, remember to rejoice, with confident expectation. Rejoicing in the faithfulness of God can bring you into a place of sweet victory, and suddenly you'll realize that the problems have been swallowed up in the answers that He brings. So rejoice, your victory has come.

Habakkuk 3:18 AMP

Yet, I will rejoice in the Lord; I will exult in the [victorious] God of my salvation!

The Time for Rain has Come!

Today, beloved of the Lord, Our faithful God is sending a time of refreshing in His presence. Can you feel the refreshing rain of His Spirit upon you now? As I was in a time of prayer, I was reminded of this great promise in Joel 2:23; to Zion, the people of God, he said, 

Rejoice, you people of Jerusalem! Rejoice in the Lord your God! For the rain he sends demonstrates his faithfulness. Once more the autumn rains will come, as well as the rains of spring. The Lord has not forgotten us in this season; Oh yes! The Time has cone for our generation to experience a fresh move of His Spirit, end time enlightenment, abundance of grace and the promised harvest that only the God of heaven and earth can give. This is the Time for the  outpouring of the former and latter rain together. Receive it now!

Meditation:

Hosea 6:3 (NLT)

Oh, that we might know the Lord! Let us press on to know him. He will respond to us as surely as the arrival of dawn or the coming of rains in early spring
