How can it be?

How can it be? I love this song by Lauren Daigle. One of the sweet young ladies that I have been blessed to watch grow up, has started singing it as well. I just watched a clip of her singing it last night and it messed me up(in a good way). God's been trying to get me still all day to finish the message/blog He started writing yesterday morning. How many know though that this time of the year getting still is not easy? We move around doing a lot of a good things, but let's get honest...if God had to choose between us doing and us being with Him, He would pick the latter. The doing doesn't matter to Him if we don't spend the time being with Him. There is a shift in the atmosphere...a new level is coming...God's ready to pour out on those ready to receive, enter in the enemy who seeks to devour with everything he can do to keep us from receiving. That was the word God started speaking yesterday....the enemy seeks to devour us in many ways(Get still long enough and God will get specific on those ways too). Now for the walking it out....those are tools in your hand for battle. Knowing the way the enemy works against you doesn't help unless you choose to pick up the shield and keep pressing forward. Not everything is a test..sometimes God's just saying keep moving forward despite how you feel, despite how tired you are, despite the tears that want to fall. Keep moving forward because I have already cleared the path for you to walk. Keep moving forward because those distractions are not from me and they are not for your attention. Stay focused on me....and know that my enough is enough.

There are going to be days when the plans don't go right, when the tears well up, and when the feelings want to answer for you. There are going to be days like this....we may feel in the flesh, but we live by the Spirit. The Great Defender pleads our case. He handles the case of distractions, the case of feelings, the case of busyness when we let Him have the briefcase. He knows those things impact us, they hurt at times, but He knows our hearts. He gets the feelings and defends those when we let Him. Ouch...let that sink in...He's not surprised by things that upset us, things that hurt us, or even things that make us smile. He knows it all, understands it all, and says just trust me. I love it...

Sometimes the moments that make you want to scream are just that moments that make you scream. Understand where they come from...period.

Tonight I'm thankful that God knows when we need a filling of His presence. He knows when we have been drained and we need a Word from Him. I'm thankful today for friends that pour in when I've poured out all I have. There is an anointing that is on the inside that is fighting to come out. I'm done with boxes and fighting the mold. The enemy knows what is on the inside of this Child of God, hence the battle. The moments that you used to call a test are just confirmation that you are on the path I've planned for you child. Those moments that you used to call test are bumps and you know how to walk forward in them Child, now get up and get moving. I knew this morning there was a blog coming. I've felt it in my Spirit and knew with the busier I got, the more it was coming. God was pulling something out, and the enemy was pushing to keep it on the inside.

There is a shift in the atmosphere. There is a filling of His presence that God's pouring out. There is an emptying of self so that God call fill you of Him. There is a call going out...are you listening? The foundation is being laid and God has more in store for you than you can even imagine. Are you ready to walk in it? He's fighting your case and dealing with everything in the past. He's calling you to focus on the now and the forward. He has lives for you to touch, people for you to impact, and a difference for you to make. He said you could be all that He has called you to be. He's covered and taken care of the details. Walk in the anointing and the confidence...and all that entails. Pour it in and on me Lord...I'm beyond ready. There is a new season and a fresh anointing coming my way....

Have a blessed one!
