Let your refreshing spring of life flow in all those areas, we receive, we receive all of you. Let your word, feed and nourish us, we thank you for the food you've set before us, let us dine together, Amen.
Today we are encouraged, assured and charged.
Haggai 2:4-9(NLT)
4 But now the Lord says: Be strong, Zerubbabel. Be strong, Jeshua son Jehozadak, the high priest. Be strong all you people still left in the land. And now get to work, for I am with you, says the Lord of Heaven's Armies.
5 My Spirit remains among you, just as I promised when you came out of Egypt. So do not be afraid.
6 "For this is what the Lord of Heaven's Armies says: In just a little while I will again shake the heavens and the earth, the oceans and the dry land.
7 I will shake all the nation's and the treasures of all the nation's will be brought to this Temple. I will fill this place with glory, says the Lord of Heaven's Armies.
8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, says the Lord of Heaven's Armies.
9 The future glory of this Temple will be greater than its past glory, says the Lord of Heaven's Armies. And in this place I will bring peace. I, the Lord of Heaven's Armies have spoken!"
Our charge is to be strong, not only that but the Lord is with us do not be discouraged or afraid. But get to work, He is with us, pick up your tools and let the hands of God, make with you, write with you, chisel with you, carve with you, design with you, abide in you.
Let all those fears be brought to light and lay it before Him in prayer. Receive His love, take your hands wrap them around you and say "I am loved by God", feel the warmth and rest in it, this is the posture for the rest of your life, anytime you feel out of place.
Give this word an opportunity to grow past disappointment and pain. Embrace the shaking to expand, the shaking that brings to the surface hidden treasure.
Open up and be filled with His Glory and Peace. The Future Glory will be greater says the Lord, don't let your now or past discourage you, move forward.
Lord we receive your word and we trust you, be our love and heart beat, Amen.
Do you want the Lord to be your steady Heart beat of Love, if yes, say with me:
Dear Jesus, here I am, come into my heart, I make you my Lord and Saviour, I repent of my sins, I believe you died on the cross to reconcile me back to God, I receive your love and new life, Amen!
God loves you soo much more than you can think!
