The still small voice, the wisdom beyond eternity has from the moment of your creation been calling your name.
"My beloved, come away with me".
He has welcomed you into the inner circle of His love. In this place of perfect acceptance He unfolds His battle plane for your life. He unveils to you the mystery of His ever flowing love towards you. In this absolutely free expression of His loving kindness, He draws you into the way of abundant living; a life imparted as your focus shifts till He is all you see.
The purpose of the fore-ordination is adoption. Placing those born of God into their proper position. Jesus’ calling is to restore you to your place seated with Him. You have been given the Holy Spirit, your seal of present and future authenticity. You are his living inheritance purposed built for kingdom significance.
It delights the Father to have chosen you as His living testimony, calling you to be a carrier of resurrection power. There are no limits on the greatness of his work in you, as you testify to the finished work of the cross.
From His perspective you are beautiful, fit and acceptable for every good work. Clothed with dignity, given all authority. He declares in you his kindness, transforming an enemy of the cross into a living sacrifice fit and acceptable for every good work. A vessel boasting of the redemption found only in his Son.
Let today be the day that you draw unto Him as never before. As you lose yourself in him those around you will smell the sweet fragrance of His tender mercies. He has secrets, reserved for his friends, for those who would dare to press in, for those who will lean on His breast and hear the heartbeat of heaven.
Beloved this is your season. This is your destiny.

Ask
Prayer filled with doubt are requests for refusal, but this is not so for those born from above. For the seeds of life emended within the renewed nature, bring forth the best things. For these are our Fathers thoughts and His thoughts are not alien to us. For He has given us the mind of Him, who was and is the express image of the Father.
The desires of the gracious are after the most excellent things; things pure and peaceable, courageous and elevating. They long for God’s glory and for this reason their desires spring from higher motives than those which inflame the un-renewed mind.
Heavenly desires birthed of the Spirit, find fullness only when expressed in fervent prayer. For the Godly one will knock till the gates are opened, will not relent till the desire asked is received at the hand of God. This one knows that as she waits upon the Lord, she nor her family shall not want any good thing. For before the asking daughter, all the promises of God are rich and inexhaustible.
If we will but ask He will always give us more than we ask. The sick of the palsy asked to be healed, Jesus response was not to just do what was asked, but forgave the mans sins. The thief on the cross said “Lord remember me when thou comes into thy kingdom. Jesus said “Today shalt thou be with me in paradise”.
Get into the position of an asker and you shall have what you never asked for and never thought to receive. God is willing to give us infinitely more than we ask.
All heaven lies before the grasp of the one that would dare to say “I will not rise till I have my hearts desire” For this daughter knows that true prayer is not a mere mental exercise, nor a vocal performance but is spiritual communion. It is oneness with the Father. To this one He will not withhold any good thing.
Psalm 2:8 Ask of Me, and I will surely give the nations as Your inheritance, And the very ends of the earth as Your possession.

The Lights Are On
When I pulled into my driveway last night I noticed my 21yr old had left the lights of her car on.
I drew this matter to my daughters attention to be told that she was aware of the situation.
She said she couldn't turn her lights off.
She called RACQ. Two patrols had advised her that she needed to take her car to an auto electrician. One of the patrols had been very helpful and loosened one of the battery terminals. He advised her to disconnect the battery terminal so she could start the car in the morning. However when she connected the terminal she couldn't loosen it and so she resigned herself to having to call another patrol in the morning to start the car.
I pick up my tool box and flashlight and headed towards the car; knowing that disconnecting a battery terminal was within even my limited mechanical knowledge.
When I opened the car door to pull the bonnet release I noticed a switch with a little half light symbol on it.
Thinking I had nothing to loose I pressed the switch. To my daughters delight the lights went out.
She cancelled the appointment at the auto electrician.

The Covenant of Love
God’s lovingkindness is covenant.
His love towards us is declared on every page, every word. The bible isn’t inspired to show God’s greatness but the greatness of His love. His greatest declaration throughout the bible is His love towards us.
Oh what Joy, what blessedness of eternal life available today if only we look and see Jesus as He truly is. For the more that we behold Him, the more we become like Him, the more we become like Him, the more we become that expression, that reflection of His love.
Jesus died for you 2000 years ago, that He might live for you today. As He intercedes before the Father, your name is upon His lips.
His thoughts are not our thoughts; His ways are not our ways. His love is such that if we fall, the first hand outstretched to pick us up is His. His loving kindness reaches through the ages, declares you washed in His blood, without spot or wrinkle.
When King David sinned. He didn’t first appeal to the mercy of God but he appealed to the lovingkindness of God. King David may never have read Hebrews 4:17 but he was a man acquainted with His God.
Heb 4:16Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Truly His loving kindness is better than life
It is this very lovingkindness that demands the life reserved for you is nothing less than the extraordinary. The love of Jesus is extravagant and His goodness outrageous.
Greater is He who is in you because greater is He who loves you. You are His answer to those around you. His greatest joy is when your shadow will heals the sick, when the words of your mouth bind up the broken hearted.
Jesus doesn’t call you servant but He calls you friend, He calls you brother. As you co-labor with Him, you will see greater miracles.
He has called you, qualified you and sent you. That you would be that light that shines in the darkness that light upon a hill that will radiate His eternal love.
