PRINCE OF PEACE

The following is prophetic event recorded in Bobby Conner’s book “Harvest Time”
________________________________________________________
STANDING IN THE STORM
The time was exactly 2:22 A.M. In this prophetic experience I was transported by the spirit of the Lord from the comforts of my bed to an enormously large body of water.

Standing at the edge of this massage sea, the sky was awfully dark. The clouds were violently turbulent and the winds were swirling and blowing incredibly strong. Lightning flashed across the darkened sky and illuminated the storm-tossed sea. This was clearly not a tranquil, peaceful, serene setting but rather unsettled, troubled waters.

The waters were extremely stirred, with waves mounting high with white caps and foam. The raging wind caused the rain to sting against my face. As the lightning flashed and the thunder was crashing, the sound rolling across the waves seemed to be amplified. I shivered as the wind drove the rain deep into my clothes. It was one of the most tempestuous times I’ve ever experienced, but I could feel that this storm was more than just a natural storm. I could not explain it, but I could sense that this was a very unnatural disturbance I was beholding.

MEAT FOR THE MASTER
Standing at my side, the Lord said, “I am hungry! You are to catch supper.” Intensely, He was steadfastly gazing over the troubled waters. I knew He was expecting me to catch some fish, but I was thinking how hard it would be to fish in such a violent storm. It was difficult for me to even stand in the strong gusts of wind. Although I did not voice my thoughts out loud, He reassuringly said to me, “This is the best time for fishing. Fish are more easily caught at this time.”

PLACE OF PERFECT PEACE
Then I looked more closely at Him and noticed that His hair was not being blown about by the wind. Neither were His clothes wet and flopping wildly in the wind, as mine were. Christ, knowing that I was now observing Him, said, “Come closer to ME.”

As I moved ever closer to Him, the winds became calmer. When I was near to His side, there was a place of perfect peace and protection from the storm. He smiled saying in the most comforting tone, “Yes! I am still the PRINCE OF PEACE.”

Even though the situation with the wind and weather had not changed, there was a quiet, calm confidence in the Lord’s presence. I wondered why I didn’t come closer sooner. Looking deep into my eyes, I knew that He was expecting more from me than just standing by. I could sense that He expected me to get busy obeying His command.

Destiny

Purpose, the inevitable fate, a predetermined course of events, beyond human power of control.

When we start walking in our destiny we are walking in something that has been predetermined.

To know Him who holds destiny. He knows and holds what tomorrow brings.

You are Special

This simple children’s story titled “You are special” by Max Lucado speaks such great volumes of God’s love for us. The dots and stars in this short passage represent people’s views, judgments and expectations, good or bad. Apart of human nature is to listen to the people around us, we let them shape who and what we are, even when we don’t like it.

In the passage, Punchinello meets a young girl who did not have any stickers, stars or dots. People would “try to give her stickers, but they just didn’t stick.” “She has decided that what I (Eli, the maker) think is more important than what they think, the stickers will only stick it you let them.” If we could come under the realization of how much our God loves us, then what others say over us wouldn’t matter.

Punchinello: “You know my name?”
Eli: “Of course I do, I made you… You don’t have to defend yourself to me… who are they do give you stars are dots, it only matters what I think, and I think your pretty special.”

Punchinello: “Why do I matter to you?”
Eli: “Because your mine, that’s why you matter to me.” “…You are special, because I made you, and I don’t make mistakes!” “The more you trust my love, the less you care about their stickers.”

God loves us each so dearly… I pray we can each grasp on to what this simply powerful message teaches us. Lets trust His love for us!

The Haunting

I can’t escape you can I? You are ever present, always there. The haunting. The answer to every question, the comfort to my every pain. I run but can never seem to hide. The faithful one. I quit but am never able to really give up. I am not my own. The loudest noise in the silence of my life; you deafen me with your steady presence. I am truly preferred by you Jesus…
__________________________________________________________

I wrote the passage above many months ago... I came across it again today, and realized how truly faithful our God is. We can’t escape his presence! Lately the only truth I know is how amazing He is!!

“It is finished!” (John 19:30 AMP) He is awaiting us.

I posted this on the Bridge youth blog back in June, but I still feeling it for today, so I thought I would repost it on here.

“OUR REST IS IN THE REVELATION (AND BELIEF) OF HIS COMPLETED WORK…”
