Conversations With My Dad

 

Today is the 11th Dad, 11-11-10, this day is important to you.  What makes 11-11-10 different?  What victories are you winning today?  Where are the strongholds finally crushed?  Where is your strength rising, pushing through, out, and above?

Speak to me – to us; your body.  Speak and allow us to comprehend in full.  I am not alone, your body has many members…  That is your house with many rooms! Show me my room that you have prepared…if I have room mates expose them even here now, because your kingdom has come here on earth as it is in heaven.

To Christ our King be the Glory and honor and praise for ever – Amen

Today is important because you are coming together.  There is a great rise before the wake …this day.

A paradigm shift in each moment; all my pieces will fit.  The bulk cannot squeeze through our opening, only the Spirit of God can conform to this shape.

The thieves – they crash to have entry. Don’t get frazzled …the doorway is protected by me. 

Just keep coming – flowing in our body.  The rest is up to me.  You heard exactly what I was saying.  Yes, the rest for the soul was a great price I paid.

So rest, in the arms of our Father, sweet child let Him bounce you on His knee.  He loves with such depth and pleasure you will have nothing but joy as you search His face.

Search and seek that vision…search from night into each day.  He is looking and adoring.  He sees you all; you’re well on your way. 

Just walk ….alone or together…it does not alter your joy.  In times of isolation…this is when you are face to face.  He misses you as you miss Him.  He however can see much larger things.

Trust Him; He will never fail you.  His love never quits any job.  There is no void in His pleasure – there is no lack in a need. There is no day without completion.  There is no end to eternity.

I pray for us all this day…let’s live like this….let’s just give it a try, even if just for today Smile.

Kisses,

Candace

Divine Setups - By Os Hillman

"Simon, Simon, satan has asked to sift you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers." Luke 22:31-32


Have you ever perceived yourself to be at one place spiritually only to discover that you were actually far from this place? Peter perceived himself to be so spiritually strong that he was prepared to suffer greatly for his Master. Yet Jesus knew where Peter really was in his own pilgrimage. He knew that Peter's enthusiasm did not match his reality. He was suffering from an attitude of self-righteousness. So, how did Jesus help Peter match his perception to his reality? Peter was the object of a divine setup.

First, notice that satan asked permission to sift Peter as wheat. Jesus determined that satan would be used to bring Peter to the maturity level both Jesus and Peter really desired. And Jesus was praying that Peter would pass the test. Jesus told Peter that he would deny Him three times that very day. Peter could not believe what Jesus was saying.

Sometimes the lessons we must learn are very painful. This experience was necessary in Peter's life. It was necessary to purge Peter from his sin of self-righteousness. This very lesson would allow Peter to come face to face with his own misperception of where he was in his relationship and devotion to Jesus. When he was forced to confront this, it nearly broke him apart. He wept bitterly once he realized he had done just as Jesus had predicted.

This confrontation with reality is necessary at times in our lives. Do not be surprised if Jesus allows you to experience some painful circumstance. You may be the subject of a divine setup designed to bring you to a greater maturity level in your walk with Jesus. It may not be a fun experience when you go through it, but you will, like Peter, become a leader whom God will use to lead others.

Today I pray for that bit of Peter that is in all of us.  I pray that we sit face to face with Christ and listen each day as He tells us what we are about to do if we do not pull close and abide with God's will moment by moment.

With the love of our Christ,
Kisses,
