Beth (B) – Lord, come. Anticipating, fighting flesh and feeling like I need to listen. Anxious. Anxiety, be gone in the name of Jesus. Listening to baby birds outside, blue jays in the crabapple, and you care for them Lord. How much more you care for me? More Lord. Show me your glory. Anxious, anxiety, be gone in the name of Jesus.
God (G) – Troubled? Be still and know that I am God. Speak to your soul, truth, my truth. I have it all in good order. It is done. Finished. I am in control of every necessity. All is in my hand. It is done, finished. Yes, it is time. Really. Be still and know that I am God, solely and completely, wholly, holy, keep your eyes fixed on me, watch and see what I have in store. It is magnificent. All, all will declare the glory of God – “He is great”, “He is masterful”, “He is awesome”, “He is glorious” and all because of your faith. They will see and declare my greatness and they will know I am God. Do not weary in doing well. It is your time to shine for me and you are ready, made ready by my refining work and by the work of Jesus on the cross and in your life. It is time I say. It is time. It is really time to shine, like a light, reflection. It is the Son that does the work. You are reflecting the finished work of Jesus and made pure, high sheen, polish of refine, clear, pure reflection of Jesus.
B – It sounds too good to be true but you speak truth. I believe Lord, help me in my unbelief.
G – Broken no more. Wholly and holy. Reflecting my glory. You are and I am and all who see you, see me reflected. You do not work or strive. You have survived the refining. You have been willing to lay yourself bare and not hold on tightly to anything but me. That is the reward. The beauty of Jesus on earth as it is in heaven because I chose you and you said yes to my will and my way and held loosely to yours. That is my way, my will be done on earth as it is in heaven. All will be well with you and for you. You have survived, thrived, arrived. You are right in the place I asked you to be, and you trusted me more and more without doubt or questioning but because you believed me and my word to be true, unaltered by your perception or beliefs but purely, divinely, my way.
B – Vision of waterfall
G – At once, suddenly, watch and see, taste and see. It is good, very good. There will be no mistaking my hand in your affairs and it will be good, abundantly, extravagantly, amazingly, divinely, supernaturally, incredibly, for my glory, for all to see. You are the witness I chose. A walk burdened with roadblocks, boulders to stumble, heavy lifting, sweaty, dirty, many would turn back, but you kept on. I said come and there you were sweaty, tired, tearful, defeated, disappointed, sad, lost and still you knew I was good, and you always held tightly keeping me in your sights constantly, even through the worst. The enemy is nasty, and you have seen his worst but still you kept your eyes on me and never ever doubted my love for you. Yes, I have a beautiful plan and it is good. Yes, truly, really truly I say, my sweet. You are well. Yes, you are well. Things are well with you. Watch and see. The Lord God Almighty has spoken. Provision overflowing, pressed down, more than enough, beyond what you can think or imagine, because I can. Because I love you and I trust you. Because you are who I created you to be and because you are willing to walk with me and reflect my son everywhere and anywhere because I say Yes. It is true and it is good, more than enough. All the mess is in the palm of my hand, ordered and settled. There is no mess. There is no mess. Ordered and settled in every area. I am yours and you are mine. I am true. I speak truth and it is good. “Only for you” you say and I smile. It is your heart I want; I have always wanted and yours is good. It is good. All is well, truly, precisely as I say.
B – Yes Lord. Now Lord, I stand in your truth and thank you Lord. I have my eyes on you. Help me to stay planted in you and your truth, living water. Thank you, Lord. I am so excited. I am so excited to see the waterfall of your provision abundantly flowing, overwhelming all of the dry, parched ground with your heavenly provision.
