Good Morning!
I will start back
up again, on Monday, and
continue sharing about all that
we have available to us through
the Blood Covenant. However,
today The Lord wants to pre-empt
His upcoming messages with a
very important "word of
preparation" that can help you RETAIN
what you will be
reading~~~~~~~~~
When I first
started sending these
Encouragements out 11 years ago,
there were not a whole lot of
daily devotionals and Godly
encouragements being sent out
through e-mails at that time.
But, now people are getting so
many more, and they are getting
so many e-mails that their
"boxes" are overflowing with
mail! Because of that, many
people are just "scan-reading"
their e-mails so they can get on
to the next one! They try to
read them so fast that they are
not really getting hold of the
"message" that is there. My
point is this.....don't
"scan-read" your daily
scriptures, or the Godly
messages that The Lord is
bringing to you. If you do, you
will not be able to "draw" the
Life out of the Word of God that
He has for you that day. There
is LIFE in the Word of God, but
we must take time to "draw" the
water out of the well! When God
sends you a Word through your
e-mails or through your daily
reading of the Bible, He is
"preparing a table for you in
the presence of your enemies",
so when you sit down to "eat",
don't try to turn the entire
"plate" up and gobble the whole
meal! Just like you take time
to eat your natural food, one
bite at a time, and then "chew"
on it in order to "draw" the
nutrition out of each
bite....that is how the Lord
wants you to "chew on" what He
is putting on your plate each
day! In fact, the word
"meditate" means to CHEW!
So, I assume that
the reason The Holy Spirit is
telling me to send this message
out, is just for me to encourage
you slow down and think about every
"word" that He is putting on
your plate each day! Whether it
comes from your reading The
Bible, or from Godly
inspirationals and
encouragements that come to your
e-mail box! In fact, I have
always encouraged people to read
the things of God, "OUT
LOUD"....that helps you to
remember and retain what you
have read!
Okay! I have
been "obedient" to say what HE
told me to say.....it is up to
you to
make a decision
about it. This is a time when
many people are making their
"New Year's resolutions", but I
believe that it is a good time
to just start making "quality
decisions"! Can
I get an Amen? See you
Monday~~~~~~
In His Love, Luanne
