The Lion

Nahum 2:11 (AMP)  Where is the den of the lions which was the feeding place of the young lions, where the lion and the lioness walked, and the lion’s whelp, and none made them afraid?

The above is a picture of authority, the lion rules unafraid. However God was bringing a message against Nineveh.

I could say 'where is the enemy who raged so violently against me? Where is the loud boisterous one who dares to try and take what the Lord has given?

In the New Testament we are told that satan roams like a raging lion looking for someone to devour and that is right. (1Peter 5:8)

In the book of revelation there is a picture of the woman in childbirth who is being stalked by the dragon. The dragon wants to devour her child.

I am pregnant with what the Lord has given me and the dragon is raging, he is throwing everything he can against me but I stand knowing 'if my God be for me, who is this who comes against me?'

The closer I get to birth the more the dragon flails around and I say 'Ha! You are undone.'

Yesterday I was attacked by what I think the enemy thought was a fatal blow but it wasn't. I have learned to stay focused, to lean against the breast of my Lord and trust. My baby is coming.

All that my God showed me, all things are coming to pass. All that comes against me may bruise my heel but do not stop me.

I am made in the image of my God, I am made of better stuff, with God I am a majority.

I am confessing success, I am confessing greatness, I am confessing the beauty of my God. He makes all things new.

I am reminded of the Brooke Fraser song Shadowfeet:

'when the world has fallen out form under me
I'll be found in You, still standing
When the sky rolls up and mountains fall on their knees
when time and space are through
I'll be found in You'.

What joy I have in my heart knowing 'my baby iscoming' and so is my loving Lord. Amen!

Who Rules?

The princes of Judah are like those who move boundary markers, I will pout out my fury on them like water. Hosea 5:10 World leaders of church and state are now all highly visible. When they are not open to consultation or do not listen they make judgements that are judged as foolish by both God and man. In Australia we just celebrated Australia Day and at this time various people are honoured for their contribution to society. Our Prime Minister, Mr Abbott, without consultation, conferred a knighthood on the Queen of England's husband, Phillip. Almost to a person, Australians judged this to be foolish. Even supporters have now distanced themselves. Imagine what it is like when church leaders follow their own emotions or the emotions of their people and change what is acceptable to God. For example, no longer considering adultery something that precludes a man from ministry. We might think we are clever, but actually going with a sinful flow. Where is God in all this? My emotions ar...

Know Your Sword!

So he took Him to Jerusalem, had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, "if you are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here. For it is written: 'He will give His angels orders concerning You, to protect you, they will support You with their hands, so that you will not strike Your foot against a stone.' And Jesus answered him, "it is said: 'do not test The Lord your God." And the Devil had finished every temptation, he departed from Him for a time. Luke 4:9-11 In this third test Satan quoted scripture but Jesus knew His scripture and was not going to be deceived by his enemy twisting the truth. I am amazed at what Satan tempted Jesus with. He did not know Christ. He had succeeded in tempting the first Adam yet he was thwarted in this attempt. Jesus had lived 30 years and been tutored in godliness with contentment, he was prepared, baptised in the Spirit and sold out to the Father's purpose. Every time our enemy comes against us we ...

Little Things Grow

The boy's mother said to Elisha, "as The Lord lives and you yourself live, I will not leave you. So he got up and followed her. 2 Kings 4:30 The Shunamite woman had travelled to Mt Carmel to find Elisha after the death of her son. Although Elisha had sent his servant Gehazi to the boy with his staff the woman had come to find Elisha and was not leaving without him. I like this lady's spirit. I am sure The Lord God Almighty also valued her heart. She had a heart for God and made room for Him in her world. Now, having lost her son she knew what to do: find Elisha and not let him go until he came to restore her son. What made the Shunamite woman believe that Elisha could raise her son? Was it the same faith that made her provide him a place to stay in her home? I believe it was God working in her life. I am grateful for her faith, I can read and be encouraged. We do not know her name yet her story lives in scripture. What a little thing it was to feed Elisha and then provide ...
