Psalm of the Mighty Response

Thank you Jesus for your mighty deeds!

My children were lost and self seeking, my job was threatening to end, I was sad and about to give up, my wife was empty of joy and we were without hope.

Then you heard my cry. You shook yourself and waves of power permeated the evil forces attacking me. You rushed upon my enemies and sent them screaming to the pit. You rode in on a mighty stallion and picked me up saying, "Let's go for a ride, ride with Me and let Me comfort your heart and heal your brokenness."

You, we, trampled all the hosts of Satan under our feet and they became food for flowers; sweet smelling flowers that bloomed without end. My children surrendered to the love and call of Christ, my wife's heart was filled with joy and gladness; she cried for joy, not sorrow, at the mighty acts of God.

When you placed me down I was renewed and invigorated to grab the plow and not look back.

Jesus you are mighty, mighty to save, heal, deliver, lead. Praise be to God.

You became my vision - You, riding ahead of me, leading the way as I dig deep straight furrows that shall receive seed; good seed yielding fruit, 100 fold for the Kingdom of our God.

A Psalm of Deliverance and Peace

I cried unto Jesus, He heard my cry and comforted my soul

It came upon me without warning, I found myself in the midst of strife and fear. My home was filled with those who thought they no longer needed to cooperate, that they could do as they wanted, come and go as they pleased and to hell with anyone else. They bit and snarled at one another an fought for their rights - the thought of who's home it was never entered their minds. The stress was tremendous.

I cried out to Jesus for wisdom and help because peace was nowhere to be found, and he heard my cry.

He moved on me for compassion. He moved on my boarders with a renewed commitment for Christ like living.

And peace returned to my home.

No "one size fits all"

My love is not a "one size fits all"; I don't express My love the same way to all.

To some I express My love and care by giving them mentors to model and train; to others I express my love by NOT giving them mentors, but carrying them Myself, like the picture of the lamb with a broken leg (which I broke, by the way) on my shoulders so that lamb could not but become attached emotionally to me, personally.

I am your mentor; My Holy Spirit your teacher. I am your provider. I hear your prayers in secrete, I do the rewarding. I am well able and willing to love you and be gracious to you like you are and change you as you need.

Something new for you - compassion

I opened up something in you through this struggle, I opened up compassion - it was time.

My children must have compassion for I have great compassion. As much as you hurt I brought people to you who hurt much more so you could feel a little of what they feel. You I am healing and delivering quickly, but they are on their own path, and whether I heal them or not is between Me and them; but in you I want compassion. You will need that compassion for the next assignment.

Do not be afraid of Me or your emotions. Listen to Me, feel for others.

No more than flies at a picnic

You don't need to figure everything out or worry that you don't understand what I am doing.

A child only needs to know his daddy loves him and will care for him. There are harsh realities I will handle for you and with you. You don't need to fear demonic attacks, I am your Daddy, don't even focus on them because I am defending you.

You are not hurt. Though the devil is growling at you and telling you that you are defenceless you haven't been hurt yet, so pay him no attention. Keep your focus on Me and don't be frightened or anxious. There is nothing he can do but talk, I have all the power and I have already spoken.

You are My witness to a lost and dying world. Your confidence in Me then My deliverance of you will demonstrate My faithfulness.

Just move right on, the attacks are nothing more than flies at a picnic.

I am leading, change comes in an instant

I am leading you and holding you in the palm of My hand. I hear your prayers and I am answering. Confess my answer before you see it; encourage yourself with your confession of My answer before you see it.

My blood covers even you - you are not excluded. These are hard timesbut I am sustaining you with My Spirit. You shall have fellowship with My faithful. As with the connection you felt with S. H. when it happens it shall be quick.

There is refreshment for you, be faithful and trust. I change things in an instant.

Your children are My children

Your children are not in your hands and should not be your primary focus, I should be your primary focus. These are My children - I loaned them to you to enjoy and love, but never forget they are Mine.

I have good plans for each of them, but they are My plans and My ways of leading them for their own particular calling. You are letting your own desires cloud the fact that I call on My Own timetable and for My Own purposes.

I put that love and faithfulness for your children in you and it is a good thing, but even good things must be laid on My altar. You will not be bereaved of your children, you will not be disappointed. You must trust that I love them as I love you and will pick them up when they cry.

You put in them the knowledge, they can cry to me, they shall cry out to Me and I shall hear and pick them up. Trust Me to do that.
