My heart knows you have showed us much and yet my heart knows there is more and my heart fears it is not all as good as I hope and yet my heart knows you are good and your word says on earth as it is in heaven, and Ephesians 3:20 beyond what I can think or imagine.
Ephesians 3:20 (TPT) Never doubt God’s mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination! He will outdo them all, for his miraculous power constantly energizes you.
That is true. That I can hang my hat on, seeing the goodness of God in the land of the living in this way, really big.
That I hope I have dreamed and imagined big enough, the homes, the places, the adventures, the blessings, salvations and healings, resources galore for your glory Lord. So there Lord, all my hopes and dreams are in you. I continue to receive your forgiveness, your gift, your love and say, Thank you Daddy. Thank you, Lord.
God (G) – I am enough.
Beth (B) – Yes Daddy. Thanking for all your power, might, strength –
G – “Be strong and courageous.”
B – Yes Lord. Show me your strength in every situation, in every moment. Your courage Lord in every area Lord. Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord Almighty. (Zechariah 4:6) Yes, Lord. Grace, Grace, Grace – Yes, Lord.
G – Laugh even when don’t feel it
Celebrate even now
Love even when your heart hurts
Forgive even when it seems unforgiveable
Asking for forgiveness (Lord had asked me to do this with a pastor at our church) was the most amazing thing to see. It did open a door and it allows this asking to come in a wave over (pastor and wife). You may never hear it, but I am telling you that meant more than any words spoken. It released me into a very dark and painful place in – in you yes, but it was bigger.
B – Yes Lord. Thank you. Entrusted. Blessed to be used. Thankful. I felt it. The shift. Thank you for showing me.
G – I know you see. Same sort of thing with word for leader. Yes, needed my words to speak into some thirsty places and you keep hearing and doing. Keep speaking. Keep loving. Keep hugging. It is so much bigger than you know.
B – It is my dream, Lord. Thank you.
G – Stand in this. You are not broken. You are fixed in me. Stay and be and listen. It is enough. Just wait and see. The release will knock your socks off. The release, the wave of my presence and authority in your life. I have shaken in every area and while you felt the jostling, a lot has happened in those 20 years. A lot for my glory and you have stood firm, eyes fixed on me and I am well pleased. Yes, sweet girl, it is enough. Watch and see the big, glorious, glory of God overtake every area and we will laugh, giggle and cry. It is all worth it and you will see and know fullness beyond measure in every area as you wish and dream in all of my fullness for my glory and your heart. Yes and Amen. It is done! Watch and see.
