Reaching those places ready

Recently a very dear friend prophecied over me during a service at church. One suggestion she made during that encounter was to write down what I'm believing for in different areas of my life. That has stuck with me over the past few weeks. I have been drowning in my circumstance, unable to see outside it's walls because of all the uncertainty it entails. Looking beyond, I've started to build a list of things I'm believing for. It may be beyond my control to make them happen but there are things I can do to be ready when they do. I've begun thinking about what I can do now to 'reach those places ready'.

One Thing I Know

For I know  that  my Redeemer lives, And He shall stand at last on the earth. Job 19:25 NKJV

It's been a while since I've visited this blog. In fact I remember the last entry was written the day after I had a massive panic attack. A lot of everyday things in my world have become extremely difficult over these past 6 months, one of those being to pour life out of my lips (and my fingertips) so I had a break from writing this blog. I've still been spending time daily reading the Word, working my way from Genesis through till I reached Job these past few days. When I read the verse above I knew I had to write again. For I may not know what or why or how these days shall unfold but this thing I know - my Redeemer lives and He shall stand at last on the earth. His purposes, His glory, His love and His goodness shall become clear through it all.

Spiritual Upgrades

Instead of bronze I will bring gold,

Instead of iron I will bring silver,

Instead of wood, bronze,

And instead of stones, iron.

I will also make your officers peace,

And your magistrates righteousness.

Violence shall no longer be heard in your land,

Neither wasting nor destruction within your borders;

But you shall call your walls Salvation,

And your gates Praise. Isaiah 50:17, 18 NKJV

 

During another sleepless one last night I was thinking about the word Salvation so when I stumbled across these verses today it struck a chord. It feels a lot like my walls and gates are fear and sadness right now so a spiritual upgrade is definitely what's needed! I'll take some Salvation and Praise thanks!

Peace is a Person

For He Himself is our peace who has made both one, has broken down the middle wall of separation. Ephesians 2:14 NKJV

Be with me, stay with me, Jesus. There is no other way that my mind will be at ease.
