October 1, 2021 Exodus 23:29-30 I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate and the beasts of the field become too numerous for you. Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased, and you inherit the land. Though the […]
SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 Exodus 23:27 I will send My fear before you, I will cause confusion among all the people to whom you come and will make all your enemies turn their backs to you.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2021 Exodus 23:24-25 You shall not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do according to their works; but you shall utterly overthrow them and completely break down their sacred pillars.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2021 Exodus 23:22 But if you indeed obey His voice and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries. Because God’s Name (authority) was in this very unique and important angel, obedience was due Him. In other words, to listen to and […]
SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 Exodus 23:20-21 “Behold, I send an Angel before you to keep you in the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2021 Exodus 23:13 And in all that I have said to you, be circumspect and make no mention of the name of other gods, nor let it be heard from your mouth. What was meant by this command?

Psalm 27:4…One thing I have asked from the Lord, that I shall seek
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life
To behold the beauty of the Lord and to meditate in His temple
Today, as I was sitting here working, I felt HIM so sweetly come into the room. I love the way that Abba, at times, comes into the room so unexpectedly. His love is so tangible as it drips like oil filling every space. His love is so BIG that it feels like your heart may burst. This mortal flesh cannot contain all that HE IS. At that moment, I stopped just to spend time with Him. I wanted Him to know that He was more important than anything or anyone else. When you enter the presence of God, there is nothing else like it. David knew that the ultimate place of peace and rest for his soul was in the presence of God. He had tasted the goodness of the Lord and he wanted nothing else.
Better is (JUST) one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere. (Psalm 84:10)
Nothing compares to His overwhelming love. Just as Mary, I want to be found sitting at His feet, beholding His beauty, and being lost in His loving gaze.
SEPTEMBER 23, 2021 Exodus 23:1-2 You shall not circulate a false report. Do not put your hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.
