Suddenly

Last night as I sat on my deck I began observing a bird in the tree. The leaves are fully on their trees now making the bird like really hard to see. The Lord kept repeating to me to look at the bird. He asked me, you see the bird don't you? You have observed it and seen it, now keep watching it. As I kept my eyes on the bird, it just all of a sudden flew out of the tree and quickly right by my face, where I could literally reach out and touch it.

The Lord then spoke to me that just as I observed and seen and heard the bird in the tree and not let my eyes off of it, so we also need to observe and see and hear all that the Lord has spoken to us. In times past they have been so real to us that he spoke those promises. Gradually they have faded into the scenery. They are not looked at or seen or thought about any longer. Hope lost. No focus anymore. But kept hearing the father say that although the bird is well hidden in that tree it is still there. So is my promises to you saith the Lord. They are still there. Why do you continue to let your head hang low? As it hangs all you are seeing is the ground and dirt (death and defeat).

"I say to you this day lift up your heads. Look to me. Loose not sight of the promises I have made to you. If you need to go climb the tree to get sight of it again do that. But grab hold of the sight of my promises and sight of all I have done for you...get them back in center focus.

Be not weary. Lose not hope. For we are entering a season that those birds are getting ready to move. They are about to come at you suddenly.The things I have promised you I will do as you believe and faint not. But I say to you suddenly you will see these things come about. Suddenly those things that have been so out of reach will I again put in your reach. Suddenly, all those doors that have been shut will begin to open. Suddenly, salvation will come to your family members. I am about to do a quick work. Will you not see these things because you have set aside and forgotten and no longer looking for them to come?

Am I a man that I shall lie? Will I not do all that I have promised you that I would? Time to refocus on those promises and stir up your faith, for I will do them. Keep your eyes focused on me and my promises until suddenly they come to you and they will be yours."

In Christ
