254. The Eyes of the Lord

 

As we enter 2025 the only advice I could possibly have for anyone is to look to Jesus Christ. To center your life on His will, His word and His way. That there is nothing found in this world that can satisfy the needs of your soul like the savior.

The call for 2025 is to continue drawing near and pouring out, where ever you may be, in whatever way you’re called, in Jesus mighty name. The healing revival emerging will not be held back. Lean in, pray through, and walk it out. You’re called, it’s time to act like it, as doers of the word. Amen!

The other day as we were driving, I approached the Lord in prayer. Prayer for letting go of everything that needs left behind in 2024.  Prayers of thanksgiving and praise. Prayers of repentance and petitions for mercy. Prayers of gratitude for the grace and restoration that ended this year in such a different capacity than it all began. Prayers for guidance, for wisdom and for ears to hear. Prayers to be love and to have eyes to see what Jesus sees in every situation. 

As I continued on in prayer the Lord pulled me into a vision. I was in a valley, between two majestic mountains. The sky was blue and the clouds were white, contrasting in a beautiful way that only the Lord could create for us, showcasing His majesty. 

I was walking bare foot on a marble path that was as wide as a four lane highway. Its glaze reflected the sunlight in such a way that brought a burst of gold ribbons and rivers of pure white to life like I’d never experienced before. 

The breathtaking views slid into the background of my mind as I felt the warm breeze against my face and the freshness of this air filled my lungs ever so deep. Cleansing every part of me from the inside out. The sun on my face. The air. It couldn’t get any better. And then I felt it. 

His presence. 

I turned in the direction my spirit was being called, and there He stood. The Lord, tall, glorious, feet like burnished bronze standing over the marble path. One foot on each side. I continued walking in His direction with my knees trembling, my heart crying out in such love, passion and a burning for righteousness. I was so small next to Him. I felt pulled to come closer in this welcoming all encompassing transparency that I can barely describe with words. This draw to Him, Jesus Christ, my Lord and savior.  My everything. 

With every shaking step in His direction I felt my body releasing things that couldn’t come this close to the Lord. The deeply rooted issues that have remained hidden from the world but are ever present with Christ. Every little thing that remained tangled in my heart where decades of soul wounds had done damage beyond natural repair; every part of it was being uprooted and restored as if it never happened. 

The closer I got to the hem of His garment, more was forced to leave me. Every step of the way. Refining every unrighteous thing. Even down to the tiniest specks shaking off like flakes of pepper. I wept as I got to His feet and touched the hem of the garment of the Lord. 

When my hands touched the hem of His garment I was drawn into the Lord. I was immediately surrounded by marble looking columns dripping with golden honey colored oil flowing as if they were alive in Christ. The ceiling, the floor, the endless view of corridors all dripping with the oil of the Lord.  The Lord is calling us closer. He is calling us to the tables that He has prepared for us in 2025. Even if it’s just you and the Lord for a season, the season has a reason. This year take one step closer to Jesus every single day and see where you end up. Eat the word. Follow Him!  

As we ended the day I was looking back through some of our pictures and what did I see. I don’t know, maybe it’s just me, but His eye is on the one. The 99 will be ok. He’s after YOU! 

Proverbs 15:3 - The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.

Deuteronomy 11:12 - A land which the LORD thy God careth for: the eyes of the LORD thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.

Psalms 32:8 - I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.

Psalms 33:18 - Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;

Psalms 23:5 - Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 

Psalms 45:7 - Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

Proverbs 21:20 - There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up. 

1 Samuel 10:1 - Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not because the LORD hath anointed thee to be captain over his inheritance?

Exodus 27:20 - And thou shalt command the children of Israel, that they bring thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamp to burn always.

Deuteronomy 32:13 - He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;

Isaiah 61:3 - To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

Matthew 25:3 - They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:

Psalms 34:15 - The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.

258. Is Jesus Enough?

Is Jesus enough for you? What if we never arrive? What if like Moses you wander in the desert for years only to have the Joshua generation be the one to enter the promised land? The land that was originally promised to Abraham 42 generations prior. 42 generations it took to fulfill that promise.  What if you’re generation 37, or 16, or 5 or 41. What if your family is this close to the breakthrough of the promised land that you’ve been praying for, and you give up now? What if you take the bait of the enemy and quit before you reach the finish line? Or worse yet, you give up, erase the efforts of every generation before you, and your kids or grandkids never meet Jesus at all.  This is your reminder…don’t fall for it. Same evil tactics different worldly package. All designed to kill, steal and destroy.  Satan doesn’t have to take your life if he can take your peace, wrap you in groundhog’s days, and have you spread that woe is me, lack of joy under a “Christian” label, like...

240. Back together again

  You know, it's hard when you're growing and walking things out in this life. We look at the world and we point out what's wrong, or what needs changed but we don't realize that the change within us is the most important change needed of all.  The Lord took me to a hallway today. The rooms were all white. In the first room I saw myself about 5 years old. I had crayons and paint and I was dancing to music, painting and coloring these beautiful pictures on the walls. I was praising the Lord and singing as loud as I could. In the second room I was a teenager. I was sitting at a desk. I had colored pencils lined up distinctly in a row, sorted by color. I was coloring on a piece of white paper making a neat picture of a hillside. On top of the hill sat a small white church with a view of the sunset. I had head phones on, jamming out the inside while my composure was quiet and still. In the third room I was in my 20's. I was seated at a dining table. I had a canvas and p...

120. Don’t get Distracted by the Shiny Things

I was listening to a bethel podcast this morning and I was blessed with a vision of a brick road. I’ll get to that in a bit but first I’ll brief you on the podcast. (link in the comments) The podcast had referenced the difference in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd heavens. It focused on making sure that we understand that we can view and discern all three realms. We are not meant to see only this one dimension. It was an eye opening teaching about making sure you ascend into the third heaven, seated with our Heavenly Father in order to find the right direction needed to conquer the battles in the other realms. That happens in prayer, if you let it. The three realms are this natural world (1st heaven), the spiritual warfare realm where the demonic dwells (2nd heaven), and the Lords kingdom (3rd heaven) where the enemy and all demonic forces have lost all authority have have zero power. I’ll have to learn more on all of that before I can actually elaborate in teaching, but I’ll tell you how this vi...
