"The Spirit of the Sovereign LORDis on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me tobind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the LORD's favorand the day of vengeance of our God, to comfortall who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion — to bestow on them acrown of beautyinstead of ashes, the oil of gladnessinstead of mourning, and a garment of praiseinstead of a spirit of despair."
I like watching snowflakes fall like the stars YOU are in my life
I have COMMENTS CLOSEDnow, except FRI. and my SECRET GARDEN maybe SOS, but REACTIONS are available instead, see explanationherekinda. I still miss knowing who was here, so I added this linky, on my BLOGGER PAGE also. Just put your name instead of any "Title" to let me know who has passed by and can say:
I WAS HERE!
Here's why:
On 1/24 my COMPUTER CRASHED, so I'm unable to SIGN IN to it, it's frozen. I don't know what's wrong or for how long. I try to check what I can from a public cyber but can't do that daily or for hours like I'm use to doing, so I'm very limited in what I can get done. Think God's trying to tell me some thing? Less time online? I'm sure I'll need a new computer rather than repair this here but don't see that happening here in these next 2 yrs. before I'm back home in USA. I'll be thinking and praying for you! Love y'all, pray and please don't forget me. God bless!
The Bible clearly predicts that at the same time Jesus would come at His Second Coming, the mighty river Nile would dry up. Prophecies, like this one, made 2,700 years ago are coming to pass before our very eyes.
Since my GIVING THANKS is interactive, it's your turn. After viewing the You Tube video #5 with Matt Maher today,

“For the earth will be filled With the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, As the waters cover the sea” (Habakkuk 2:14 MKJV)
My Waters Cover the Earth
"My waters cover the earth, and majestic mountains rise up out of the sea—each and every one declaring My strength and glory. The skies and heavens are spread out like a canopy over the earth to cover and protect . . . to bring rains in due season according to the needs of the earth.
In like manner I cover you this day, this moment. In like manner, I bring forth rain to the seasons of your life and saturate you with My goodness. Therefore, declare this goodness, this protection with a heart of jubilant praise, and proclaim the majesty of My name in all the earth. Proclaim the majesty of My name in your life, for I am good.
The winds move at My command. The rivers and seas are held within their banks at My Word. All things are held together within bounds by My power. Nothing escapes My notice because I AM.
I am all, in all and I contain all. Nothing is hidden from Me and all is held in the palm of My hand. Every molecule has My complete attention. Every note sung by a songbird is recorded in the memories of My heart. I delight in the grace and beauty of all I have created from the seemingly insignificant to the most majestic. Each is full of wonder for they were created as the breath of My mouth, at the expression of My Word.
I desire for each expression of My creative heart to declare who I am and stir up inquisitive hearts to embrace the knowledge of My glory. I will work in you in such a manner to stir the hearts of men to seek Me. Be confident in this.
How much more then in light of all these things do you have My heart and attention? Your very name is carved in My hand, ever present, ever visible to Me. I am attentive to you at this very moment. My heart beats fast at the very beauty of your presence. My heart escalates at the sound of your voice. Come under the covering of My wings today and enjoy these moments with Me.
Incredible Mercy, Lavish Grace
"Yes, My Beloved, today is indeed a new day, a day of incredible mercies and lavish grace. My grace extends over the entirety of all I have created, including you. The works of your hands shall declare My goodness to all you come in contact with, all you minister to—yes, to your family too.
I am moving on behalf of your family as I cover you. See your family standing under the covering of My redemptive love. It is to be your highest call and My divine intervention which brings things into proper perspective as far as your family goes. Respond well to the promptings of your heart on their behalf. Hear and see what I am doing and don’t think anything to small to make an impact. Listen carefully in this area. I am speaking.
Listen carefully as you look up and see the heavens. I am sending a gentle wind into your life laden with whispers of divine guidance and direction. Look around and absorb the beauty surrounding your life. They are My declarations of love and capability for you.
Let them speak to your heart. Take a moment and go outside. Stand under the magnitude of heaven’s canopy extended over you, stretching as far as the East is from the West. Like My love, its distance cannot be measured for there is no end to it. Yes, like the waters cover the earth with rain and sea, My child, I cover you. Rest in My all-sufficient, abundant grace (Romans 5:17). Today is a new day. Each day is a new day. Rejoice in them and be glad. I am."

Lord, You are my strength and my song. Your name is above all other names and I run into Your strong tower where I am safe from my enemies. You spread Yourself over me like the heavens cover the earth. I am enclosed within Your canopy of love and protection. Your goodness surrounds me like a thick blanket. Let my heart be a creative expression of Your heart. Stir the creative gifts placed within me that I might represent a visible picture of You to all I meet. I choose to believe, receive and embrace the Word You so graciously took time to give to me. I am seated with You in heavenly places, positioned to hear and see what You are doing in every situation. By faith I am one who rules and reigns with You. I cast down every thought contrary to the Word You have given.
Your beauty surrounds me and covers me with such a splendid love. You have provided all I need to sustain me physically, emotionally, and spiritually. My life and heart are in Your hands. I run into the strong tower of Your might and strength where I am saved from my enemies. I embrace the lesions of life with confidence, for You do valiantly on my behalf. Help me to walk with the fullness of Your mercy and grace in every aspect of my life. Leave nothing undone in Me. Make all things new as I learn to walk in humility and confidence. My heart is becoming a deep well of realized love and grace.
I rise up in the calling You have placed on my life and I will not be dismayed by the little foxes, the minor setbacks or the unkind words of men. You are mighty to save and have set me in a large place where I can move with freedom and grace. Everything in my life is turned for good and the enemy’s plans are brought to naught as I surrender to You—as I proclaim Your name. I guard my heart and mouth that I may speak what is lovely and upright at all times. Teach me to judge my circumstances according to Your Word and not my feelings. In doing this my mouth will speak what Your Word says and not my opinions.
Lord, I receive a new day. I receive a new heart in everything I do. Your grace covers me and upholds me. Mercy surrounds me like a cloak. My hands are made to declare Your works and they shall do so on a continuous basis. My family is standing under the covering of redemptive love and grace. My family is loved beyond measure and each member will come into their destiny in the fullness of time, according to Your time. Open my eyes to see all the beauty around me in both people and creation. I rest in the Lord’s all-sufficient grace. Today is a new day as each and every day to come shall be. I rejoice in the Lord and I am glad. Amen
"Are you drying up spiritually or are the Mighty Rivers flooding around you and flowing through you to others that are dry/ quenched/ thirsty?"
Peggy, I can say sincerely that even when I feel dried up, I still feel the Mighty Rivers of Living Water flowing through me. And my greatest prayer is that God would flow through me to others - with quenching feelings of grace and love.

The Living Water!! I am so thankful, too...nothing heals a parched soul...or refreshes a weary pilgrim like God's Living Water!
ReplyDeleteHere is the thought that resonates in my soul:
ReplyDelete"Are you drying up spiritually or
are the Mighty Rivers flooding around you
and flowing through you to others
that are dry/ quenched/ thirsty?"
Peggy, I can say sincerely that even when I feel dried up, I still feel the Mighty Rivers of Living Water flowing through me. And my greatest prayer is that God would flow through me to others - with quenching feelings of grace and love.
Soaking this in today...
GOD BLESS!
The videos were beautiful. I thank God for His provision, living water and for the Lord. That Word of the day was lovely. Love you ~
