Good Morning!

 

I will continue with the format~~~~~READ    SPEAK    RECEIVE

 

Well, is anybody getting anything out of this message?  I choose to believe that we all are, and as we keep going, we will be able to see more clearly what The Holy Spirit is teaching us.  He is  laying a foundation for us to build upon.  I sort of see it this way....He has been "setting the table" first. Then He has given us some "appetizers" (Websters definition of that word is: "just a bit of something that excites a desire for more")!  Wow!  I have just been tremendously blessed....after I typed that about the "appetizers", The Lord told me to get up and read that "definition"!  Isn't He Awesome?!  Hey!  It's okay if I get excited about these Encouragements....after all, The Lord gets all of the credit for writing them!  So, moving right along...I will control myself and get back to the "format"!   He is about to serve up the "main course", and get to the "dessert"!

 

In my previous Encouragements, I have talked about why we need to READ His Word concerning His COVENANT blessings.  I have talked about why we need to SPEAK those promises out of our mouth.  I have talked about "why" we need to RECEIVE those promises, and now I am going to talk about "how" to RECEIVE those promises.  It won't do us any good to READ them and SPEAK them, if we don't RECEIVE them!  So then, HOW do we receive the COVENANT promises of God?  It is just so "simple"!  We start "thanking" Him for them!!  Think about it this way~~~If someone offers you something that you don't want...you say "No, thank you".  But if someone hands you a "gift" or a "present"...you reach out and take it and you say "Thank you"!  In other words...that is letting them know that you RECEIVE it!  I am saying all this to "prepare" you for what The Lord has "prepared" for us in the upcoming Encouragements!   Stay wih me on this, and all of us will be getting more "revelation knowledge" concerning the COVENANT that God has with His children!

 

I was just about to sign off, and the Lord stopped me.  He showed me that someone who is reading this, is struggling with making a decision that would require them to "compromise" their Christian values.  It may be with your job, or with a relationship.  You do not want to lose either one.....but, the Lord is saying to you>>>>>>"DO NOT COMPROMISE, for it is better to obey God than man!  If you choose NOT to "compromise", I will either make that job or relationship better, or I will give you a better job or a better relationship".    Thus saith the Lord!
