The day with dianne Louise

Luke 3:8 (MSG) It's your life that must change, not your skin. And don't think you can p ull rank .... After a while of being in any particular position we tend to pull rank, perhaps it is a part of our sin nature. I know when I do just that, eg my history as a RN, I miss what someone might be saying that is important. When I was pastoring it was easy to do to seal a matter, if I am honest. What does that do to the person I am pulling rank on? How does it affect their self life? I imagine it belittles them. Now that I am working in the world of finance I imagine that in a moment of flesh I will do the same. Yet what is God's priority? My life must allow others to have opinion so that I can be challenged and change. if necessary. My God I ask for the grace to be humble enough to keep listening. Amen!

Deuteronomy 8:2 (MSG) Remember every road that God led you on for those forty years in the wilderness, pushing you to your limits, testing you so that he would know what you were made of, whether you would keep his commandments or not. My God is with me, before me, beside me, around me. He knows what is coming and is interested in how I handle that which comes my way. Because of circumstances that occurred on Friday last as Monday neared my emotions were friable. However, I said to myself, stay focused , stay calm, who says what I feel is what will come to pass. I was awake at 3am and receiving a revelation about needing to embrace compliance (work related legal stuff) and then it would not hinder me. I did and enjoyed my day, in fact was inspired to make an appointment to see someone re business, did and was successful. No all the problems I was facing have not all gone, yet, but they will. My God has a strategy, He has a plan and as I yield to Him I discover new and better ways. ...

Deuteronomy 6:6 (MSG) Write these commandments that I've given you today on your hearts. Get them inside of you I have struggled to read the books of the law, inside part of me is saying yeah yeah! let's get on with it. Yet the God I love is a vital part of the law, He created it. Why did He say 'write these commandments on your heart'? Ah!perhaps I have discovered a part of me that is not too interested in embracing all of God, including the finer details of the law. Then how can I say His laws are written on my heart? My wayward parts are protruding! My God is taking me to law whether I like it or not and to kick and squeal is so unbecoming. In my work environment I am faced with law and cannot move unless I fulfill it's requirements, in my church environment I am faced with OH&S law, to move on I must stop and do due diligence. What good is there in the law? Law is a part of justice. In the financial world the sellers are becoming tied to due diligence ...

Deuteronomy 3:2 (AMP) And the Lord said to me, Do not fear him, for I have given him and all his people and his land into your hand; Many will come out against us and stand in the way, attempting to intimidate, but what does God say? What is God's plan for our lives? Where is He taking us? What is His word about our circumstances? If God is for us then we will defeat ALL that comes against us, don't back down, keep going, one foot in front of the other. King Og who the above scripture refers to was a BIGGGG dude but God is bigger and His word is greater. No matter how BIG our enemy they will fall and bow the knee to our GOD! Amen! This king was not even in Jordan, he was before the promised land but the children of God started being possessors, overcomers as they approached the promised land. Oh my soul I encourage you, lift up your head, stand firm and see the salvation of the Lord, stay steadfast, keep focused, stay on track and DON'T BACK DOWN. Amen!

Mark 16:10 (AMP) She went and reported it to those who had been with Him, as they grieved and wept. Good news often comes after an event that leaves us grieving and weeping. Our spirits need to be open to the voice of God. What is He saying? The disciples were so devastated by the death of Christ that they had lost their hearing. Messages were being received but the horror of the trial and crucifixion had crushed them. God always has something to say in the depth of despair, if we choose to turn to Him He is there. My week has been a time of one trial after another and on the natural front a whole lot of krap is going down, BUT God is doing something, I am aware that I am still walking towards a day, a day of life and favour, a day of change. If GOD be for me then who can be against me? If God has signed the authority then who can deny it? Last night a saw a living example of this. A woman tried to move into a house she thought she had a right to but her behaviour undid her a...

Numbers 34:2 (AMP) Command the Israelites, When you come into the land of Canaan (which is the land that shall be yours for an inheritance, the land of Canaan according to its boundaries) I must know my boundaries because they exist. To carry on in life oblivious will cause grief to myself but more especially to others. As a faith walker I am not able to just set my sights on anything I please and decide to take it, I must know it has been given to me by my God. Ah but when I know it is mine I must take possession of it. I am driven to persist until it is mine. Until I know my boundaries , exactly, I push forward in the direction my possession lays. As I push forward I begin to see more clearly, it takes shape. As I push forward I encounter the enemy who comes out against me. The enemy of my soul does not possess the land he is just blocking it. He does not possess healing, he possess infirmity and wants them to be raised above God's gift of health and healing. It is my job...

Mark 15:34 (AMP) My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me [deserting Me and leaving Me helpless and abandoned]? My Jesus was abandoned so that I would be safe. When it feels like (only feels like) all have abandoned me there is one who remains, He is here. Abandonment is horrible! I can sit in the soot and scrape my sores and feel sorry for myself or refuse self-pity and turn to the one who is there. If God be for me WHO can be against me? I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, greater is He who is in me than he who is in the world. My God is on my side. All things work together for those who love the Lord and who walk according to His purpose. Today is the day of victory! Amen!
