Our service last night was blessed with the comforting and gentle presence of Holy Spirit. In it two distinict words we given to me and they came in two different times of our service. I share them here for your prayer and counsel.
"The enemy has your ear. The words of doubt, loneliness, despair come against you; the thought to rest for but a moment is whispered into your thoughts. But the renewing strength of the Lord is within the enemy's site; he wishes to distract --- to detain. Awaiting you is the sound of those prayers that have been heard, the voices of encouragement at the place of rest the Lord has established for you."
"A great tree, the tree of His promise stands before you and the fruit looks ready. But it would be bittersweet if plucked now. It's maturation isn't complete, but be encouraged by its fruit nonetheless for it was but a shoot when I first heard your cry---your prayer. It is My work that has sown this promise in you."
How exciting it is to serve the God who knows what we have need of even before we ask!

Not only is it a word for you, it's a word for all of those who have been taught to patiently wait upon the Lord through the difficult and barren times, and it's an encouragement that the prayers offered up for you during these months of intense struggle have been heard and remembered and acted upon by God. His promises are sure and I fully expect Him to make good on all that He has spoken. To God be the glory!
