You’re The Head and Not The Tail

“Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the LORD your God will set you high above all nations of the earth.

“And the LORD will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them.”

Deuteronomy 28:1, 13

The world is your oyster. You have your whole life ahead of you. Your life is on a path set for truth & righteousness & freedom.

Look ahead, to the future with Christ.

“A highway shall be there, and a road, and it shall be called the Highway of Holiness, the unclean shall not pass over it, but it shall be for others. Whoever walks the road, although a fool, shall not go astray.”                                    Isaiah 35:8

 

With God All Things Are Possible

“Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Assuredly, I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

25 When His disciples heard it, they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?”

26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

Jesus in Matthew 19:23-26

Moses Was Very Humble

“(Now the man Moses was very humble, more than all men who were on the face of the earth.)”                                                         Numbers 12:3

From “Don’t Give Up,” Derek Prince: Moses was the most powerful person on the earth behind Jesus.  He waited 40 years tending sheep.  We also need to cultivate meekness. The key to promotion in the Kingdom is to abase yourself.

“Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.”                                                            Matthew 11:29 (KJV)

Cleaning Business – Prophetic Dream

“Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the Lord!” Psalm 27:15

“But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever. I will praise You forever, because You have done it; and in the presence of Your saints I will wait on Your name, for it is good.”  Psalm 52:8-9

Dream: vision depicting a present day ministry couple standing in front of their cleaning business wearing 1980’s ish, Members Only jackets, appearing much plumper than in real life.

People that are heavier in the dream represent God’s Spirit, weight of glory.  Cleaning Business indicates deliverance ministry. The clothing label could be closed group. In the past means not active. See The Divinity Code to Understanding Dreams and Visions.

Rather than holding on to a ministry, let’s hold on to God with all our hearts. In Jesus name, amen.

“For as the earth brings forth its bud, as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth, so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.”   Isaiah 61:11

“He also brought them out with silver and gold, and there was none feeble among His tribes.” Psalm 105:37

Stronger

“He increased His people greatly, And made them stronger than their enemies.” Psalm 105:24

“I, wisdom, dwell with prudence, And find out knowledge and discretion. Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom; I am understanding, I have strength.” Proverbs 8:12, 14

“The silver-haired head is a crown of glory, If it is found in the way of righteousness.” Proverbs 16:31

“Then he said to them, ‘Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.’ ” Nehemiah 8:10

 

“The comeback is always stronger than the setback” 

Anonymous

“Yet the righteous will hold to his way, And he who has clean hands will be stronger and stronger.” Job 17:9

 

Our Soul Has Escaped

“Our soul has escaped as a bird from the snare of the fowlers;
The snare is broken, and we have escaped.
Our help is in the name of the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth.”

Psalm 124:7-8

“If we’ll just learn to worship God even during the difficult circumstances, He will change them for the better very quickly if He so chooses.”

Oswald Chambers, December 18, My Utmost

“Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.” Psalm 91:3 (KJV)

“Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.” Psalm 141:10 (KJV)

Since every person is redeemable through Jesus Christ, you can always attribute this prayer as to the wicked spirits of Satan. Praise God!
