INSPIRED WORD
September 2, 2009
SCRIPTURE
Philippians 4: 4 - 9: Rejoice in the Lord always. I say it again, rejoice! Your kindness should be known to all. The Lord is near. Have no anxiety at all, but in everything by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Keep on doing what you have learned and received and heard and seen in me. Then the God of peace will be with you.
IMAGE
I had an image of being in the heavenly realm. I was observing that there was a wooden cradle there in that place and it was being rocked by the Spirit of God and His gaze was directed into the cradle. It was just full of total pure love and tranquility.
PRAYER
.....how You treasure us, how You care for us. O Lord, let our hearts speak of our love for You. I cry out, O God, to You and tell You that I love You. I want to tell You that I love You, Lord. You pour forth Your love upon us. We want to tell You that we love You, Lord! We do, O Lord!!
SCRIPTURE
Psalm 138: 1 – 6, 8: I thank You, Lord, with all my heart; I sing praise to You before the gods. I face Your holy Temple , bow down, and praise Your name because of Your constant love and faithfulness, because You have shown that Your name and Your commands are supreme. You answered me when I called to You; with Your strength You strengthened me. All the kings of the world will praise You, Lord, because they have heard Your promises. They will sing about what You have done and about Your great glory. Even though You are so high above, You care for the lowly. You will do everything You have promised; Lord, Your love is eternal.
SCRIPTURE
Revelation 22: 1 – 5: Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and His servants will serve Him. They will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads. There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.
SCRIPTURE
Matthew 18: 1 – 5: At that time the disciples approached Jesus and said, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” He called a child over, placed it in their midst, and said, “Amen, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever receives one child such as this in My name receives Me. “
CONFIRMATION
I confirm that Scripture. All I am thinking about and feeling is that we are His children. Earlier we heard about the image of the cradle and of the total pure love of God. I think of how Jesus, in the form of a little baby, in the King of kings, the Lord of lords, the Lamb of God, came to earth and we are His children. He has wept for us, He died for us, He did everything for us and He loves each of us dearly.
PROPHECY
The Lord says, “I want all of you! For I have created you and you are Mine. I want all of you!!
CONFIRMATION
I confirm that. As we were singing “I Give You More Than a Song...”, I kept saying to myself, “How can I give You more than a song, Lord?” For I have always believed that one of the greatest gifts God has blessed me with is the gift of song. He made it known to me that He wants my heart full of surrender.
