I AM CHOSEN

Welcome to September. How fast are the days going by?

Last night I asked the Lord for a word as we enter this new month. This morning as I sat in prayer i asked again and He said the same word.

RELAX

I read a scripture, but it was only as I write it down did I realize and then I said “Ok Lord I see what you did there”

Psalms 9:9 .

September is the 9th month of the year.

Verse 9 speaks.

“The Lord is a shelter for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭9‬:‭9‬ ‭NLT‬‬

So I then went into dissecting this verse.

A refuge is a High place.

Relax means to become less restrained nor tense. It’s relieve from tension or strain. It’s to take one’s ease. It’s simply to Rest.

Life gets hectic. People act weird. It becomes overwhelming. Time seems to be running away. Your focus is on all things around you. Your job, your marriage, your kids, just to name a few.

But the Lord is calling you down from the High places you’ve built for yourself. He’s calling you to come into His high place. His refuge.

When you hear stories of wars between nations. There are always refuge camps for the people to run to. A place of safety.

We know in this world, That we fight not against flesh and blood. There is a spiritual war happening and the Lord is saying to you that the battle belongs to Him. He is saying that He will deliver you from your enemies. He just needs to you to STOP

Stop fighting. Stop doing it in your own strength. It’s the reason you’re weary. Stop doing things out of your emotions. Stop comparing. Stop judging. Just stop and relax. Allow my spirit to move in and through you, all around you.

‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts.”
‭‭Zechariah‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Let the fruit of Holy Spirit develop in you.

It’s easy to let your ego fuel you. Remember no one is good, only God alone.

Instead let His oil fill your lamps, Burning with Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self control.

Calm down. Clothe yourself in humility . Die to self. Deny the flesh. Discern what is of the spirit of God and what is of your flesh.

Redirect your focus to the Lord. Run to Him. His word says come to me all who are weary and heavily burdened. Come, I will give you rest.

Here are 9 things the Lord said to me.

1. REST – You are forgiven and remember you are free. There is no condemnation in Christ Jesus. Stop allowing the lies of the enemy to send you running in the opposite direction.

2. REST – Your Healing will spring forth quickly.

3. REST – I am your provider.

4. REST – I am building and I will build you up.

5. REST – I am fighting for you.

6. REST – I am making crooked paths straight.

7. REST – I am realigning and orchestrating. I am positioning the right people to bring about divine connections.

8. REST – I am Restoring.

9. REST – It is finished.

In the last nine months you’ve done a lot. Rest and let the Lord handle the rest.

My prayer for you is that this month will be one where you allow the Lord to take you on a spiritual retreat. One where he’s able to do what only He can do. Let him heal you, let Him go before you. Let the Lord do the heavy lifting this month.

Relax. Rest in the Lord. Abide in Him. Let His rivers of living water flow over you.

“May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you. May the Lord show you his favor and give you his peace.’”
‭‭Numbers‬ ‭6‬:‭25‬-‭26‬ ‭NLT‬‬
