I have a dream
I dream that one day men would take their place as fathers. That they would love their children and wives more then booze and drugs.
That the women whose fathers committed suicide or are in jail or abandoned them, would find their value, their love in Heavenly Father. I dream that they would know Father not as their earthly father was but one who loves unconditionally, extravagantly.
I dream that one day children will grow up in a 2 parent home full of love. A safe place. That they would not be torn from their homes because of neglect and abuse. I dream that their eyes would be full of light to replace the hopelessness. Joy instead of sadness and loss.
That men would take their place, be the head and not the tail be above and not beneath. I dream that they would be healed so they could bring healing to others. I dream, I pray that the hearts of the fathers would be turned back to the children so there will be blessing as Malachi says“Look, I am sending you the prophet Elijah before the great and dreadful day of the Lord arrives. His preaching will turn the hearts of fathers to their children, and the hearts of children to their fathers. Otherwise I will come and strike the land with a curse.” (Malachi 4:5, 6)
As I was commenting (complaining might be a better word) to The Lord He gently reminded me that he loves all people the same and that I need to do that as well. God is in the business of healing, restoring lives and breaking addictions! I cling to that! I say yes Lord I will be your hands and feet, I will honour all who you bring, I will love them with the love you have shown me. How could I do anything less.
My prayer today. Jesus help me love the unlovely, fight for the hopeless, have compassion for those who are down and out. Be your hands and feet Jesus. Give me eyes to see and ears to hear what you are doing in the heavenly realm.
First in the natural then in the spiritual . It has been a different spring and summer this year, now as I am picking blueberries, and veggies from the garden I thank you that the harvest of souls is coming, healing of hearts has begun. Healing of addictions, yes!
Thank you Jesus that we are not limited to what we can see. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. (Ephesians 6:12 NLT) I thank you Jesus that you gave us every spiritual weapon as it says in your word. We are human, but we don’t wage war as humans do. We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments. We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ. And after you have become fully obedient, we will punish everyone who remains disobedient. (2 Corinthians 10:3-6 NLT)
But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light. (1 Peter 2:9 NLT) today I will walk as a daughter of the king, with my heart wide open. Holy Spirit come!
