>Good morning Sweet Precious Ladies! I have come this >morning to the ninth chapter of Exodus. I cannot seem >to escape verse sixteen this morning. I have read >through this chapter at least three times this morning >and everytime my heart seems to arrest at this verse. >But I have raised you up for this very purpose, THAT I >MIGHT SHOW YOU MY POWER AND THAT MY NAME MIGHT BE >PROCLAIMED IN ALL THE EARTH. >GOD was speaking those WORDS to Pharaoh through Moses, >but this morning HE spoke them clearly into my own >heart. I believe that these words apply to each of >our lives today ladies. I believe that our heavenly >FATHER has raised each of us for the very purpose of >showing HIMSELF MIGHTY and proclaiming HIS name >throughout the earth. HE took my heart to several >passages this morning in HIS WORD. >Can I be honest with you this morning and tell you >that I find myself struggling today and even for the >last couple of days. Here is the kicker...I don't >know what it is that I am struggling with. My heart >seems to be aching, but I can't figure out why. I >have a neighbor whose twelve year old son died in >January; He had cerebral palsy. I have another >neighbor down the street with a twelve year old son >with this same disease, he had surgery last week to >correct severe scoliosis or they were going to lose >him; the likelihood is that he will not reach >adulthood. I have girlfriend in Ohio who has a son >with Muscular Dystrophy; he is wheelchair bound. I >have a friend here in town whose husband has been in >the hospital for going on two years. In my heart and >my mind these seem to be real problems; these are real >tangible things that would cause hurt and pain to a >person's heart. I can understand why these women >would struggle and hurt, but this morning I sit at the >feet of my FATHER and I have cried out to >HIM...FATHER, show me what it is...why am I struggling >so. HE answered, "Vick, I HAVE RAISED YOU UP FOR THE >PURPOSE OF SHOWING MYSELF MIGHTY AND PROCLAIMING MY >NAME!" My heart cries out, "FATHER, that seems so >vague to me." HE directed my heart to 2 Corinthians >10:3-5 and Ephesians 6:12-13. I am going to give you >these verses this morning because they are powerful >and I believe that if we (you and I) will get on our >faces before our FATHER and ask HIM to weave them into >our lives, I believe HE LONGS TO DO THIS FOR US. >Let's look at the WORD. >2 Corinthians 10:3-5 (NIV) >For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as >the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the >weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have >divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish >arguments and every pretension that sets itself up >against the knowledge of God, and we take captive >every thought to make it obedient to Christ. > >Ladies, our battle is NOT with this world. Our battle >is NOT about the world we live in today and it is not >about the flesh that we reside in. Our battle is one >that the LORD JESUS has already ultimately won for us, >but we must remain constant, in season and out of >season, always on our knees before the FATHER asking >HIM to fill us with MORE OF HIM and enable us to walk >the road before us, EVEN WHEN WE DON'T UNDERSTAND IT. >You see, I can look around this morning and see many >people with legitimate hurts and pains and that FATHER >has said to my heart, "VICKY, why are you looking at >THEM...PLEASE KEEP YOUR EYES FOCUSED ON ME!" >Let's look at Ephesians 6:12-13 and I will wrap up >this morning. >For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but >against the rulers, against the authorities, against >the powers of this dark world and against the >spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. >Do you, like me, struggle this morning with what you >know not? The FATHER says to your heart and to mine, >"Take heart! I have raised you up to show myself >mighty. I have given you what you need to overcome. >Bring your heart to ME...I will walk you through." >I have a feeling that this might be a difficult week >for me, but I am choosing this morning as I begin the >week to trust my FATHER and HIS plan for my life. I >wonder if you will do the same this morning. > >FATHER, thank you for YOUR WORD. Thank you for the >power in YOUR WORD. Thank you that it is LIVING AND >ACTIVE and WILL CHANGE MY LIFE. Thank you for >inviting us to KNOW YOU and to LOVE YOU. What a >gracious gift YOU have given us. FATHER, as we >struggle and war against things we can see and things >we cannot see help us to hold fast to our faith. Help >us to remain constant before YOU. Help us to see YOUR >HAND and to be used to show YOUR HAND. O FATHER, >teach us to submit our hearts to YOU and to be willing >to walk ANY ROAD in order to know YOU better. I love >you! It is in the MATCHLESS NAME OF JESUS that I pray. >AMEN. > >Have a great day ladies! > >ONLY and ALWAYS Because of JESUS- >Vicky
