Recharged for Kingdom Work

Falls by the face

“Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” (Psalm 91:1-2 NIV).

O how great is our God! I went backpacking up in Wyoming’s Snowy Range Mountains in the Medicine Bow National Forest. I was with a wild-hearted group of nine men seeking to spend some time with their JESUS.

It was just me and my JESUS by a waterfall from 9 to 5 on the second day. It was just us all alone except for the heavenly host that celebrated as a child of God repented, thanked the Almighty for His unending love and grace, and asked for direction for the coming days.

I began my time with the LORD praying to him and read scripture out of my owner’s manual, a pocket-sized bible, filled with God’s holy power in His word. I am a warrior for the kingdom and the tool for winning the war is His word. That’s where I began.

With the sound of the waterfall blocking out all distractions, I read Psalm 91 as if I was reading it to Him, my sovereign LORD and savior.

“He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge,” (Psalm 91:4 NIV). As these words left my lips, in the roaring water I suddenly heard what sounded like a marching band playing in a parade.

As I ran across verses 11 and 12, “For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.” That's when I realized the band playing was the heavenly host, a large group of angels of the LORD.

The marching band I heard playing had to be a God thing because I was over five miles from the trailhead and the number of people I had seen since backpacking in was a dozen. That's counting the eight men of God I was with. I was in awe struck wonder!

Continuing to read God’s holy word, I was comforted once again as I ran across this promise in verse 15, “He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.”

I dozed off for about twenty minutes and awoke with a butterfly sitting on my hand and the LORD then downloaded His desires for me which immediately became my desires.

I love how He loves us. He has stirred the fire within me that He lit years ago and now the raging fire has Satan on his heels. I am chosen, loved, and forgiven, and have once again been recharged for kingdom work.

“Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy.” (Psalm 33:3 NIV).

Thank You King JESUS!

There is not a case that God can't change

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” ~ Hebrews 13:8 (NKJV).

All the things you have read about our great King Jesus doing and witnessed Him doing are promises to us and future generations of what’s ahead. Why? Because He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Whatever your current situation is with your health, your job, your marriage, or your family, know that King JESUS still hears prayers and still answers prayers. There is not a case that God can’t change.

A friend recently asked prayer warriors to lift up his high school friend who appeared to be in his final days of battling liver cancer. Family was told to get everyone contacted and brought in that needed to be there because man had expected him to live three days. That's what man said and NOT what our God of restoration said. 

With the power of prayer and God working through the doctors, this young man steadily improved and on the fourth day when it was thought he would have passed on, instead after many tests, man now predicted the sick man would be returning to work in two weeks.

Remember the acts of God and pray with expectancy. Expect the goodness of God to shine and thank JESUS when it does. Carry the song of the LORD with you always and release the mighty presence of God from within you.

JESUS makes all things new. Speak to the problem and command it gone in JESUS name. JESUS has given us power and authority. Praise the holy name of JESUS and give God the glory!

“Then He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.” ~  Luke 9:1 (NKJV).

Continue to pray and don’t give up. The enemy gets weaker and you become stronger. We are told in Psalm 56, “Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You.” That's what we are to do.
