Psalm 16:11 “Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.”

Beloved,

Say to the Lord, “Come and do what only you can do . . .”

We want more of the King and His Righteousness. To be surrounded by His arms and settled in His heart bringing the fire. Consume us Lord and leave only a heart of praise blazing before you. Allow our love to be poured out in such a way, that the world will be impacted. Draw those lost souls to your throne Father, use us as conduits of your love. Express through us the hope that is in each of us, that our sisters and brothers would be found before death, before their last breath. Let none be wasted Lord, but all would come to a saving grace in your hand. It is for the reconciliation of your sons and daughters to you Father, that you sent your son Jesus. His sacrifice on the Cross was the crucible, the turning point on which all mankind’s hope rests.

Pour out your Spirit Lord into the lives of the living. Let our lungs be filled with your breath, that our hearts be stretched with the knowledge of God. Bring wisdom into our lives and let it be exercised in application, teaching others of your great love. We trust in you Father. Retain us for a life set apart, where glory is a constant release into the Heavens, thanking you for all the good things of this life. Call us forth Father into the purpose, clothing us in righteousness, peace, and joy. Let joy be a war shout, where laughter can be heard in the face of every threat. It is where the stealing, killing, and destruction have no place, but only life reigns. Take us to the Cross, help us in our doubt to fix our eyes on you Jesus. Allow Holy Spirit to guide us into the position of worship, of prayer and communion with the Trinity.

What have we chosen beloved? Is it the Father’s hand, or is it the friendship of Christ, or maybe the wisdom of Holy Spirit that we desire? Stretch us Lord. Bring us into the place of complete obedience, of a faith where trust is a weapon against the liar. We reach for the sword of the spirit, that Word that became flesh. You are sharper than any double-edge sword, equipped to separate us from the things of the flesh. We posture ourselves in a state of readiness, like the virgins keeping the lamps filled with oil, waiting on the Bridegroom’s return. Ignite a preparedness within our understanding, equipping us for the very moment, of the rise of the Lord in the east. He is the Lord that never relinquishes His hold on us, the relentless God.

We will wait upon the Lord. Know that He will provide the way out, the door to fulness in Him. He knocks and we must turn the handle, opening the door to His presence. It is a choice that can only be made with understanding that He gives. A gift of hope and grace, that covers us in the midst of invitation. Seated in the heavens, we take a place of authority, interceding like Christ for the lost, for the sick and dying, and even for the dead. Hike our faith up Father, into the realm of total belief. Help us in our unbelief. We are like children, so hungry for more of you. Sons and daughters longing for the Father’s embrace, and in the moment of acceptance, the joy will release pleasures for evermore. Dwell in us, as we abide in you Lord.
