9/9/07 Word Confidence in Your Relationship

"Rejoice, again I say rejoice, oh My people. Examine Me, look to Me, see my hand in your life. Rejoice that your name is written in the Book of Life. Rejoice that My Spirit confirms truth to you. Rejoice that you know things to come, for the dark days approach and now are. Peace will be taken from your (our) land, from the earth. Joy (the Lord's joy) will be hidden from the unworthy. Honor among men will fade. Every man will seek his own well being.

Argue your case with Me. Plead your desires. Let us reason together. I will give you understanding, you did not know possible. I knew the end from the beginning. I understood your heart and made room for your weakness that you be made strong. That you could know the path of righteousness. That you would know the voice of temptation. That you would know the love and the mercy that I have for you. That I rule in your life. That you would not loose that which I have for you. Rejoice my loved one for I have made a way where man could not. I have gone before you to lead you to strength (joy) and understanding. I bring opportunity to walk with the tall (great understanding in God's eyes).

Out of the north will come a whirlwind that will not be contained. A force that will crumble defences."

Luke 8
22Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.
23But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.
24And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.
25And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.

Matthew 8
23And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.
24And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.
25And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish.

37And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
38And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
39And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
40And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
41And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
