Observe and Encounter
My Beloved, I call you closer to me, closer to my heart. I call you to spend time with me, listening to me, reading my Word with me, talking things through with me. This way, I want to grow and equip you for the season to come. This is my training ground for you over the next few months.
Read the Gospel, observe how I deal with people and situations. Start to imitate me in your everyday life. Little by little you will become more like me. Then, when people look at you, they will see Me in you and through you. They will see My actions in you and through you. They will hear Me proclaiming the kingdom of God through your words. They will see Me healing the sick through your touch. They will experience Me delivering the demonized though your command. This is my heart’s desire for your life: I in you and you in Me, as I was in the father. So the world will see and experience Me though you.
So come little one, so you can enjoy the fruits of your time with me. There is fresh revival and renewal in your heart available for you to flourish this season through your time with me. Enjoy each day with me, it doesn’t always have to look the same, you can come into my presence at any time as you go about your day.
See me in the flowers, see me in the sky, for I am with you all around. Therefore you can encounter me in each moment you recognise me in. Talk with me and share your heart with me. Call out to me in those moments and experience me moving in and through you as the wind blows through the trees. Through these encounters of my presence you will find joy and an uplifting that will impart courage, boldness and tenacity to move into your kingdom adventures.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I ask that you will help me to go deep in your word this season and to be attentive to your promptings as I read. Make me more like you and show me how to imitate you in my words, actions and my reflections. Let me encounter you more so that I can be a vessel of your truth, love and power. Give me the boldness and tenacity I need to reflect your kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. Thank you for all you are doing in and through me, In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
John 14:19-20 (NLT)
Soon the world will no longer see me, but you will see me. Since I live, you also will live. When I am raised to life again, you will know that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.
Psalm 19:1-2 (NLT)
The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. Day after day they continue to speak, night after night they make him known.
Psalm 150:6 (NIV)
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.
