Making the
way…He is active, full, loving, gracious, precious, sweet, abundant, flowing,
full and always giving of His most majestic wonders…where there has been no
way!
Isaiah
41:17-18 says, “The poor and needy seek
water but there is none. (the way things are without faith…the used
to be) Their tongues fail for thirst
(the way for those being called into faith or belief not yet having
surrendered) I, the Lord, will hear them (promise
of God); the God of Israel, will not
forsake them (the way of the promise is taking root with a ‘Now’ kind of
faith)
He ‘said’ or
‘did’ it. He is ‘saying’ or ‘doing’ it. In His ‘saying’ there is a harvest. The
land was refreshed in the second half of Joel chapter 2, right in the middle
was a great blessing…There is vats overflowing with new wine and oil! There is
plenty and there is satisfaction restored to you from all that was consumed.
Gather and drink. Get in the river!
God’s Word
says and said, “For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, Now
I will arise”, says the Lord; “I will set him in the safety for which he yearns.”
Psalm 12:5
…The ‘used
to be’ was these…those that are false speaking untruths through forked tongues
not carrying the joy of the Lord or God’s love for you. This was a ‘used to be’.
The ‘used to be’ was being deceived into believing that following after the
letter of the law or in current day, the less than blessed misspellings more
than you believe the Spirit of God. For there is blessing in the latter. The ‘used
to be’ was being amidst an uncaring people who cared less about the people it
is called to love. You are now surrounded by those who love one another because
of the true love of God. The ‘used to be’ was the children who were not cared
for because of unrighteousness though now the promises of God are being heard
and will be no longer forsaken. The ‘used to be’ was seemingly overlooked of those
who seek to destroy in small way though now the promise is alive with a God
kind of vision that knows that the
promise is real. You will not be forsaken. The ‘used to be’ is the
crying out for every need seeking, thirsting for the need to be met, though now
the love of God is rising up and meeting these prayers at the point of need and
you know that you will not be without and you will not thirst.
The ‘used to
be’ is found in Psalm 94:20-23 that says, “Shall the throne of iniquity, which
devises evil by law, have fellowship with you? They gather together against the
life of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood. But the Lord has been my
defense, and my God the rock of my refuge. He has brought on them their own
iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; the Lord our God
shall cut them off.” The ‘used to be’ is listening to the false and puffed up
for less than its worth in how it pulled you away from the truth of His
incredible love. The promise is for you and the blessing as well. God is not
forsaking you and your thirst is being quenched. Get in the river! For out of
the belly flows rivers of living water and is given in the river of the
abundant flow of His Spirit.
…that ‘Now
faith’ that you await for in the reality of its knowing, the realization that
is expected, for the substance of manifestation to your prayers you call
Answered!
He turns a
wilderness into pools of water and dry land into watersprings. Psalm 107:35
He will not
forsake you! You mean way too much to God! You mean way too much to those who
believe in our good God!
Making the way where there 'used to be' no way...Let your dry wilderness place be flooded with the water that springs up!
