The Soul Waits

“The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.”

Genesis 1:2

We first meet the Holy Spirit hovering over the still waters of the earth of which have no form. Here we see God bring forth creation out of this still and unformed space. He’s calling you to meet Him there in that space, that still formless space, but first you have to lay down your burdens at His feet. He wants to speak this new life over you, something that burns away the darkness. He wants to do a new thing in you and with you. The Holy Spirit desires to fan the flames of your heart back to life. Your burdens are quenching that flame, the struggles, the pride, the stress, the frustration; lay them down. Pour out your heart to Him, lay down these burdens that quench the Spirit within you. A flame cannot be fanned to life if you are constantly putting it our with the burdens you carry. The soul can only wait in silence once all burdens are left at the foot of the cross. Only then can you be prepared to receive an be fanned back to life. He’s calling you to a quiet, patient, silence, in a posture of humility. Here is where God wants to bring forth new life, new dreams, new plans, a new future you didn’t know was coming. He’s desiring to bring you to your fullest point, full of life and the fire of His Spirit. Lay down your burdens, kneel in the silence, rest in the Presence, and receive what the Holy Spirit so desires to bring forth in you.

“Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us.”

Psalm 62:8

The imperishable wreath

You received an imperishible wreath which marks you as a victor over death and the grave, making you into a co-inheritor of the Kingdom of Heaven. It is a signet designating you as a part of the royal priesthood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Lest you not forget the life set before you is one to be lived championing the King of kings, living out His declaration of life and freedom over you. Be disciplined in your walk, honoring the One who has bestowed upon you a crown of steadfast love and mercy. You are a planting of the Lord, clothed in a garment of praise, and anointed for such a time as now. Do not let your praise fade, or your discipline go awash. You wear the armor of the Holy Spirit and you are meant to walk with an authority over the darkness. You are called to carry the abundant Joy of Spirit which shatters the Enemy. Do not forget who has placed the wreath of eternity upon your shoulders, He has declared you as HIS, the KING & CREATOR of all. He is your discipline, your lifeline, your first love, your guide, and your one true path. You are a child of the most high King, walk in it boldly.

Word for our nation

“Awaken oh sleepers you are called to life, cast off the death that ensnares your soul. You have been revived by the blood of Christ, and are made royal and alive. Bring to the alter all of your transgression and lay it down, commit to Me the Holy One your life daily and I will provide all you need to endure and bring glory to My kingdom!”

Rooted in Christ

By the Holy Spirit I am awakened

Tuned into His word

By the Scripture I am confirmed

Finding Him in my life

By new Faith I gain roots

Becoming grounded in love

By Living Water I grow

Filling my heart with understanding

By Growth I find freedom

Breaking every chain

By Trial my roots grow

Built up in Him

By my Roots I can face storms

Becoming an Oak of Righteousness

Run to the Father

Turn your eyes to Heaven. Look to the One who love is infinite and great. He knows your heart and breathes life to dry bones. He falls upon you like nourishing Spring rain. So why do you run? Why do you look away? Why do you distract yourself from the Lord most high? Why do you claim much else with your time? Look to the one who makes you whole. He loves you so, and longs to be the One you call in every experience. He calls you to His feet as His child, guiding and encouraging. Be enamored by the great Creator and Father of all. Find your joy and comfort in His steadfast presence. Do not be distracted or doubt, but stay faithful in Truth. He is your prize and your reason for living. Live like a child of a King, using the riches you’ve been given. Run to the Father.

Look Out and See

Look out to the world and see. Open your eyes to His glory and majesty. Trust in how He walks and winds as only Divine. Be His image and walk in His grace, enter in His Holy Place. He invites you in, seated at His feet, a child of God to be in awe, every detail, all consuming, never ending. Open your eyes to the beauty of this world and see. A painting of grand adventure, walking, and winding. Walk in awe, walk in wonder, chasing every path He leads. Run up the mountain, see His majesty, entering His presence. Be His child, reflecting His love and joy, never ending. Show the world His light as you walk and wind. Cutting down each bramble and snare with Spirit Divine. Wield His sword, mighty and powerful, walking in peace through every thicket. Conquer the thick of woods and let His path shine brighter than every star. He waits for you arms wide open, ready to pull off the weight of Armour. A place to rest, in His pasture, presence abounding, safe at last.
