STRENGTH

MARCH 25, 2008

Isaiah 55:11

...so is My word that goes out from My mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

I see the four prongs of a fork plunging into an red object that seems to defy being stuck with the fork. This red object gives the impression of being something made of rubber, maybe a ball, as its covering bounces back. I realize that what I'm seeing is my grandson's ball that in reality is soft and deflated. The ball in the vision doesn't contain air, but it's core is fully rubber and cannot be deflated or inflated. His word does not return to Him void, it comes back to Him with the same strength that it was released.

"Some think My word will deflate, says the Lord, but know this, My word shall always prevail with the strength that I sent it. I will not fail. If I have spoken My word to you, it shall to come to pass. It shall come to fruition. It shall birth the very thing that I said it will birth. It shall cause you to come up higher in a place in Me," says the Lord.

"For I am not a man that I should lie, but I speak truth that will cause the faintest heart to grow strong. I am not a man that should change his mind, but I know the plans that I have towards you, My thoughts are with you and you shall not fail," says the Lord. "I will birth a new thing through you and you shall overcome every obstacle that stands to tower over you and come to the place of prosperity that I have for you, says the Lord, for the thing that I do now has not been seen and will not be understood, but only by those who seek My face and call on My name. For your future shall be prosperous, says the Lord, one of many resources and influence and you will find the strength in My word that I sent from My mouth with power, the very power that will work through you," says the Lord.

"It will return to Me with the same power it was released with and I will stand in the wings of glory and proclaim My name to the world through a people who would stand and be the victorians that I challenge them to be. So rise and feel the strength you need to walk through the pains of the wilderness that has come upon you, My children, for you have come into the fruition of your season that is upon you," says the Lord. "Pull it out of the Spirit with praise and see your victory come," says the Lord.

The Sovereign Lord has given me an instructed tongue, to know the word that sustains the weary. He wakens me morning by morning, wakens my ear to listen like one being taught. Let he who has an ear, hear what the Spirit says....
