Beth (B) – What does this look like? What does today hold?
God (G) – I have today a new you. The you I created you to be. Today is important, on purpose, for real. My book is my book. Let me show you the way. Something in 2008-2009 – transition time – when you moved with me, you trusted me. I love that. I want you to move with me again. I want you to hold on and trust and let me show you my way. Related to the book but also just in the everyday. You stood at your kitchen sink – loving where you were but willing to leave familiar, friends, home and venture. That is what I want in this season/time – it is an adventure – the book is an unfurling of me in you and I want it to be a love labor in joy. Don’t go ahead – just stay with me.
B – Where am I in it? How far along?
G – You will know when it is finished – there is more and it will come quickly and easily. You will know. I will show you what to write and how each day to make a way with me – this is not hard – this is super fun.
I am modeling life in you – conversation, listening, sensing Holy Spirit …
B – Thank you Lord (thinking on some)
G – The book is for those. They need to hear truth and what truth sounds like. They need to know me more. They need me and my way.
B – Yes Lord, I feel a bit of pressure in my chest.
G – That’s ok. That is old – that is do – today I want you. I want us to set a new course together and I really do just want time with you. I want you to take off performance mindset and let go of “working” on book and I want you to immerse yourself today with me. We can do a lot together and I want this day with you. Without distraction, without feeling heavy, doing, performance, strive, reporting – the work we do is easy – the work we do is fruitful. The work we do is divine. So let’s sit and settle and rest and be still and let’s be together.
B – Yes Lord. My mind thinks on chicken and laundry and house…
G – and I think that is ok in time but let’s just be still now.
B – Yes Lord
Psalm 115:1 Not to us, O Lord, not to us but to your name be the glory because of your love and faithfulness.
115:11 You who fear him, trust in the Lord – he is their help and shield.
115:13-15 he will bless those who fear the Lord – small and great alike. May the Lord make you increase both you and your children. May you be blessed by the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.
And back to this…
115:2-8 Why do the nations say, “Where is their God?” Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him. But their idols are silver and gold, made by the hands of men. They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but they cannot see; They have ears, but cannot hear, noses, but they cannot smell; They have hands, but cannot feel, feet, but they cannot walk; nor can they utter a sound with their throats. Those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them.
B – Jesus, I want to be where you are. I want to be with you and not away from you. Lord, I am united with you. I want you Jesus – I want what you want.
G – There is a steadiness in this season. A place I am calling you (both) to that displays my glory. You are called to stand and stand firmly on the rock. You will not be shaken. No gale force wind, no freezing rain, no crashing waves, no flaming arrows, no nothing will shake you from this place. Nothing. No words. No circumstances. No choices. No nothing. You will faithfully stand, and I AM with you. This is my time to shine. This is my time to show all of my glory. This is not the time for you to shift or shimmy. You do not do. I AM is for you and I am setting everything right. All will be restored. All will be redeemed. All means all and you watch and see as I move on your behalf to set ALL right. It is now. This is happening now. This is not when nor if, this is done now.
B – Yes Lord. Thank you, Lord, for your perfect ways.
G – I AM says now.
B – Yes Lord.
G – Now means now – right now. It is true and just and for certain and on purpose and for my divine glory – nothing is spared – All is done and it is now.
B – Yes Lord
G – Watch and see. It is over the top – more than you have asked, for my glory and it is up to me not you. Watch and see. Not nibbles, not crumbs, not morsels but huge banqueting table refilled and refilled and refilled and it is something for everyone. Specific, on purpose, on point and abundant. All the stuff – over the top – it is now.
B – Ok Lord – yes – I believe – help me in any unbelief place – your way Lord. I know you can do whatever you want and while this is about me this about you – yes you love me and chose me, but this is how BIG is my God stuff. This is how big do you believe I AM.
G – I AM is BIG – bigger than you have seen – more personal –
B – (thinking on desires of heart promises)
G – It is for him (Beth thinking on someone specific) because it is his heart’s desire, so it is ok to enjoy and be with me in it –
B – Yes Lord
G – Hahahahah I am laughing over everything that is not lining up to my way and I am shaking it – it’s like shaking a rug to me and getting rid of the dust – it is that easy and it is done. Everything is lined up and in line – there is nothing I am forgetting or not seeing – everything is lined up and in place now – watch and see and be amazed and in awe and you will see.
B – Lord I repent of any limits, expectations – Lord, I want to see you uncorked and I believe you are bubbling over – exploding and full – more than I have ever imagined and Lord, I repent for any limits – any places that I have questioned, doubted, wondered, measured wrongly – Lord, you are GOD and you can do whatever you want – whatever – I will stand solidly with you – I AM with you Lord. I will not be shaken. I AM with you. I repent for any thoughts that have not lined up with truth and I thank you that you died for that – (all the) lies – and I receive your truth, Lord. Thank you.
