Help is On The Way
Much prayer and intercession has gone up for men who have hit hard places in this hour. The light of the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is shining down. This is what you need. Keep looking into the words that the good shepherd has spoken. The light of wisdom, for deliverance in this hour, will be granted you with Holy Power.
Acts 12:5 Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him
Have you ever watched men and women climb Mt Kilimanjaro? I have. I have watched the determination of those who seemed to be fearless. They’ve taken cameras on their headsets, and one can watch the trek as it progresses. In some of the sections, everyone appears jolly. Then other sections, a seriousness comes across the entire group, and with much carefulness, they progress. An interesting thing that I noticed, was that the guides would say from time to time, “Pole Pole” or “keep a slow pace.” This was because the air became thin the higher the elevation. As they reached the summit, it was not without arduous moments; there were many, but their victory was sweet! The Lord has often taken time to encourage me when viewing these treks. He said, keep moving forward; even if it’s “Pole Pole,” or at a slower pace. He encourages me to “rest a while; don’t quit, know others have gone before me, and I will be able to complete my race.” I’m thankful for His creative encouragement. You can take your time and slow down too if you must, but don’t quit. You will reach the summit soon. Then you can start on a new trek.
1 Cor. 4:3,4
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.

Wow! A lot of us were taught to obey with the above words attached. Under threat of corporal punishment, some of us as children complied. But as we grew up, we began to understand the great importance of following quickly those parental commands. This either developed a healthy respect or, regretful emotions that a close tender relationship was not developed. The patience issue, ( don’t get me wrong, I’m not talking about children who buck the authority of their parents, but those who never felt that warmth in patient teaching ) was never developed the parents. When you come into the family of God however, this is not the case, He’s a kind teacher with the utmost patience and compassion. That doesn’t make disobedience any less dangerous. What is does is create a love for your Father and a greater desire to walk closely in His fellowship.
Eph. 4: 15,16
15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
Night and day, our Almighty Creator is being worshipped. It’s as if we inhale His presence and we exhale His Almightiness. Once you get into the rhythm, don’t stop! Crank up that worship. You will find that the atmosphere of God rest upon you heavily. Then others around are magnetically drawn. Your witness increases, and becomes your way of living. Join with that heavenly choir, by worshipping him as your body naturally functions; with every beat of your heart.
Psalms 138
A Psalm of David. I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee
Rev. 4:8-11
8 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. 9 And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, 10 The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, 11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
Whilst in the service of the King, see your mandate as, supreme. Okay, that’s a little firm, let me be just a little lighter. If your not careful, images will arise that try to take control of your eyes. In other words, “what’s the use!” An American phrase meaning I don’t see any results! “All I see is……”But just keep up with what ever He is telling you to do. Love doesn’t wait on everything to be in place, it continues to express itself in faithful service. If you will keep up, first, you will see your victory in the word. This is true. Next that victory in the word will develop images on the inside of you. Lastly but not least, ( it’s all in the process of your faith you see), you will behold a little victory here, and a little victory there. Then they will grow into larger victories, for your faith is processed just like a seed. Please, don’t let your feelings pull you away, God needs your witness, your service, your smile, your love for him ( which includes love for his word day by day.)
Hebrew3:1,2
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.

Once you have given your heart to Jesus, you become “the apple of God’s eye.” He’s so thrilled with you. He has so much to show you, so much to teach you, so much to say to you, but first he desires and requires that you feed upon His word to nourish your heart. Wow! That was a long sentence. Lol! Yet God wants: a long, a prosperous, a healthy, and a loving relationship with you.
Deuteronomy 32:10 He found him in a desert land; ( speaking of Jacob), and in the waste howling wilderness; ( This is Abraham’s grandson), he led him about, he instructed him, (His Name was changed to Israel), he kept him as the apple of his eye. ( Every descendant of Abraham that receives Jesus enjoys this same position now.)
When you see your brother or sister what is your estimation of him or her? Sometimes familiarity breeds contempt. Sometimes prejudices surface and stand out. God has a remedy for these of things. . We are too see them as He see’s them. That’s why it’s soooo important to get your mind renewed to the word of God. First of all, your mind is being changed by who He says you are, and what He says you can do. As Your changing the image of yourself, be sure to see your brother or Sister along this same line. If God is perfecting you, He is perfecting them. And as you keep the proper images of yourself and your brother and sister, How sweet your appear countenance can become.
2 Cor. 16-18
16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more. 17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation
Rewind your thinking a bit, when things were lighter. There is a way to get back to that place. For the Lord will lighten every load you carry. He’s leaning down for you to give him those burdens and let him fix them while you take up with His word. That’s it, your shoulder’s weren’t designed to carry that type of weight. Father grant them the ability, the access, the stamina, to roll those things over on your shoulders and be revived through the your precious word. In Jesus Name. I speak strength into your soul. In Jesus name! Amen
Acts 20:32
“So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.
