The day with dianne Louise

Acts 2:24 (AMP) [But] God raised Him up, liberating Him from the pangs of death, seeing that it was not possible for Him to continue to be controlled or retained by it. What was it that was in Jesus that refused to be held by death? The scripture spoke about Him, David wrote about Him in prophesy. This speaks to me. The word of the Lord has come to me in prophesy, in dreams, in visitation, the scripture tells me who I am. The word of the Lord abides forever, He runs to fulfill it. Jesus had faith in the word, He had faith in the Father 'For You will not abandon my soul, leaving it helpless in Hades'. The word of God is truth and life, there is power in the word of God, to raise up, to provide, to protect, to set free. Faith cannot be quenched, it is a fire that burns continually, my God is my portion, He is my reward, He goes before me, He restores me, He strengthens me, He will never fail. Amen!

2 Kings 7:3 (AMP) Why do we sit here until we die? The above verse relates to 4 lepers who sat outside the gates of the city of Samaria, the city folk believed they were surrounded by the Syrians and were starving. The were so hungry they were eating their own children. The lepers were outcasts and figured they had nothing to lose, so they went across to the Syrian camp and found them all gone. God had made the Syrians believe they were under attack. How many times do were sit, believing we are lost when our enemy has already been routed? What have we to lose by stepping out? The ways of God are unfathomable so why do we treat Him like a man? I know that much noise is made by my enemy but my bible tells me 'if God is for me who can be against me?' My God is GOD! Amen!

Acts 1:7 (AMP) He said to them, It is not for you to become acquainted with and know what time brings ............ Acts 1:8 (AMP) 8 But you shall receive power ..... and you shall be My witnesses ..... It is common for us to want to know. When will this happen? What will happen? How will me life work out? Jesus taught His disciples to be anxious for nothing, not to try and work things out but to trust. The Lord's plan was that we would be baptised with His power to do His work not sitting around fretting about our lives and how we will pay our bills, how we will survive. The enemy comes against us with fears, he plays on our anxieties about tomorrow. Yet while we are distracted about tomorrow we lose sight of today and His plan for today. When the disciples waited, as directed, for this Holy Spirit, they spent time in community reading the word and praying. They became centred and focused, they became quiet and at rest. They became ready for their empowering. Fretting cause...

John 21:12 (AMP) Jesus said to them, Come [and] have breakfast. He prepares a table for me........ Jesus did not need the disciples toil to provide the food yet He invited them to bring part of what they had to cook along with His divinely provided fish. The disciples did not recognise Jesus when He first spoke to them, yet as He spoke John recognised what He said, He had said it before. The disciples had been getting used to a new Jesus, a risen Jesus who came and went. This was different but the same. Amid the new there will be the same so that we can see the experience is Him. The preparing of breakfast was relational, the Jesus they knew, yet divine, the risen Lord. The breakfast was for only one really, for Peter. A restoration of the man who three times denied Jesus, a preparation for the future. There was nothing unfinished with Jesus, He was going and the disciples needed to be ready. In every stage of my life He is there, giving me room, preparing me for what is to co...

John 19:39 (MSG) Nicodemus, who had first come to Jesus at night, came now in broad daylight carrying a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds. In the previous verse Joseph of Arimathea had secretly gone to Pilate and asked for Jesus' body. He was frightened of the Jews. Nicodemus had secretly gone to Jesus in the night because he was intimidated by the high priests, because he was a Pharisee. Nicodemus had made his stand with the high priests, He validated Jesus before them, he had spoken up. Now he was no longer intimidated he came freely in the daylight for all to see. Jesus Himself taught 'he who is ashamed of me and my gospel I am ashamed of before my Father' Make 8:38 Fear of man can cause us to be silent when we should speak up. In the past I had been intimidated by bullies to not speak up, the bully is defeated and how free, now, is my confession. 'He who the Son sets free is free indeed.' Jn 8:36 He is able to completely save us fro...

And let us not become weary in doing good for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Gal 6:9 Disillusionment is a huge tool of the enemy. Negativity and disappointment can rob us. How do we deal with them? encourage ourselves in the Lord, tell Him all about our stuff and say 'but I will praise You for You are good and Your word says You are on my side'. At the beginning of the week I had a nasty situation where a client and I could not communicate, the client was becoming very upset and I could see how bad things could get. I was being pressed on all sides but I went to the Lord and asked for His grace. I reminded Him of the power of His grace and how He had saved me from eternal damnation by His grace and I asked for His grace again. I had written to my client and apologised if I had caused the problem. Yet the client had not acknowledged the email. The next morning I received an email from my client which I did not fully understand. However the ...

Therefore He is able to save completely those who come to God through Him, because He always lives to intercede for them Hebrews 7:25 I love this scripture. My church is doing a memorization of scripture week and this was yesterday's scripture. I need to hold on to this scripture especially when I am, by the world's standard, undeserving. The enemy is howling big time and I am in my boat. I am grateful that I can go to the Lord and say 'your word says you will save me completely'. I rejoice that my Jesus paid the price for my humanity. I am so grateful that because He lives I can face today and tomorrow. Thank you Lord. Amen!
