Expect The Divine In 2009

Although this country (USA) is going through a very difficult economic crisis, we believe that since God is still on the throne, His grace and mercy endures forever. There is still hope and great promise on the horizon. This year, 2009 is the year of fulfillment. God has already blessed this nation with the fulfillment that a person will be judged by the content of their character, rather than by the color of his skin. The dream given to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., by God over 40 years ago was realized by the election and inauguration of this country’s first African American President, Barack Obama. And God is not done yet! He wants us to be in expectation of more His glory! He said it would be in comparison to a pregnancy. A woman usually carries a baby for 9 months. In the 9th month, the baby has grown to his maximum weight for the womb and the space has become tight. At this time in the pregnancy the mother has become tired and worn out. She needs relief. This is what we are experiencing now with the economic crisis. Money is tight. Jobs have been lost. We are uncomfortable to say the least. Then, the mother starts to experience contractions. At first they are slight and bearable, and then with each new contraction the pain becomes more intensified. She has the urge to push, but what does the doctor tell her…”not yet, it’s not time”. She endures more pain. Finally, the time comes and the mother is told to push…and as she pushes, she’s grimacing, straining, crying and yelling! This baby can’t come soon enough! Then something so miraculous occurs…with the last push, the baby comes. The mother is relieved as she hears the cries of her new born baby. The grace and mercy of God is revealed in this moment.

This year expect the Divine!

I am expecting God to move in a mighty way this year. I can't fully comprehend all that He plans to do, but I do know that it will be exceedingly, abundantly above all I could ask or think. I am anticipating walking in His divine precense and allowing Him to open me up to expose His divine GLORY in me. That I may walk, talk and re-present Him in the earth. Showing forth His goodness, kindness, compassion and truth to everyone He desires to bring into my(His) precense;for the father abides in me...and u- if you dare to believe.

I am by faith believeing that He is touching my children deeply and showing them who He is in them. Glorifying Him will be their desire and His word their meat.

I believe that this is the year that God has caused me to outgrow petty things and people- I don't Pay them any attention.. I understand that my time is precious, a gift and I must be about my Father's business, which is to birth forth His purpose and plan in this earthly realm.

Its funny, as I was driving home from church the other night, the Holy Spirit started talking to me about the vehicle I was riding in, and He compared my life to the vehicle which I was driving..just as I utilize the vehicle to take me from point a to point b, so shall I be for Him...my body is His chosen mode of transportation- that blessed me deeply and I am honored to be chosen.

This is only the tip...my goodness I am pregnant with the expectations of God and I SHALL birth them forth in due season! Watch me now.
