Journals of the Heart

It is your time My beloved. Yes, it is your time. You are building up your most holy faith (Jude 1:20). Don’t give up. Faithful is He who has chosen you (Isaiah 49:7). Your muscles are growing, building, and extending themselves beyond the bounds of your greatest ability to dream.

Questions and doubts aside, I came to Abram in the twilight hours of his life and spoke to the dream in his heart. Yes, I spoke to a dream buried so deep he was only aware of it enough to plan and give all he had to his servant. Did he remember his dream of a son every time he looked at his servant? Did he still long in his heart? Yes!

Beloved, will you occupy till I come even if you knew there would only be one more day…one more hour or one more minute (Luke 19:13). Victory is not accomplished by having completed the course. It is accomplished by staying on task and not giving up…not growing weary. In other words, the greatest victory is in staying faithful to do as you have been directed even if you do not see the final outcome. Use the gifts I have given you for they are the tools you need to do as you have been called.

Don’t stop breathing Me in just because you are tired or weary…just because you have been unfaithful or unbelieving…just because of disappointment or the betrayal and rejection of men.

Therefore, seize the day and the beauty it holds (Hebrews 10:23). Cling to and hold fast the Word of Truth you have received with joy and confidence. Acknowledge with your voice and shout from mountaintops of insurmountable odds that I who promised am reliable and faithful to My Word…that I who established the earth from its foundations and framed it with My words am capable, willing and ready to establish your life as I proclaimed it to be before the worlds were formed.

It is all about knowing the worth and the value I place in and on you. You are more than the birds of the air, more than the sparrow or swallow and yet I care for them (Matthew 10:26; Psalms 84:1-4; Luke 12:6). If I think it is important enough to number the hairs of your head, don’t you think I care enough about all the promises and dreams of your heart. Of course I do. I am not limited to the ability of any man to keep his promise. I am the Promised One and I am the Promise.

Beloved, I am mindful that you are dust and at the same time mindful of your Sonship (Psalms103:11-14; 1 John2:2 KJV). I can embrace the two with great delight. I love the process of your life and am never dismayed or discouraged. I love the transformation process of seeing dust turn to glory. You are no exception. I am not one who breaks the bruised reeds of your life. I do not blow out or quench smoldering wicks just because they have not become a flaming fire. I heal bruised reeds and breathe life into smoldering fires till justice and victory comes (Matthew 12:20)

Timing as a green pasture laced with still waters, is a place of protection within the Good Shepherd’s fold where one is able to rest in the sovereign goodness and mercy of My heart while I do as I have promised. It is a place to rest and eat at My banqueting table…to hear the instructions of My heart as you abide in Me. In doing this, any explosives are dismantled or obverted through careful instruction as I go before you to destroy your enemies. This is how you feast at My table in the presence of your enemies. It is all in the timing…the taking time to eat in My presence and receive. It is here in this field of timing where I direct you…anoint you…protect you and surround you with goodness and mercy.

Remember this My cherished one, every Word I have sent to you…every promise I have made is in some stage of fulfillment. From conception to manifestation, you must believe in Me who cannot lie. Every Word I send is full of sound and light capable of framing your world just as My Word framed the worlds (Hebrews 11:13).

Do you look up and ask with questions in your eyes, “Is this the day? Is this the day of my Abraham moment?” Beloved, My name is Faithful and True (Rev 19:11). You must remember this when the calendar seems to defy My Word to you. Days, weeks, months and even years passed by with no answer to the questions in his eyes, in his heart, yet he did not waver ( Rom 4:19-21 Heb 10:23).
