My Dad, thank-you that you are such a Good Good Father. Thank-you that you’ve purposed your joy to be my strength. I love you with a passionate love -you are mine!
And you are mine my faithful daughter. Come, I have a word for you today.
Father, as you said “word,” the word Shekurana came to mind. I still don’t know what this means and I’m hesitant to ask because it’s a big thing for me and I don’t want to get it wrong by doubting. But I trust you Father as I declare it over me.
My faithful daughter, I am well pleased with you -I delight in you. Come with me Caroline, I’m taking you further in. I believe you are ready!
Father, I desperately want to be ready, so if I’m ready, only you would know because only you know my heart intimately, and our journey together.
Caroline, what do you think about our journey so far?
Jesus, the first thing that comes to mind is that you have captivated my heart! Walking with you has been so difficult because you’re always stretching the limits I put on myself. But you know me far better than I do because you created me and put me together for a specific purpose. Following you has deeply grown my faith in you, and, you’ve brought me out of bondage called worthlessness. Because of this I can finally receive your love for me and am able to love you more deeply. I really do owe you my life, and I gladly give it to you again.
Caroline, theres more, what else have I shown you?
You’ve led me into my calling and you’ve prepared me for the future. Knowing my walk with you reminds me that I never need to fear.
Caroline my daughter, you’re right, you never need to fear. You’ve gotten so accustomed to it that it’s become your friend.
Father, I don’t like this false friend. Show me the open door Father, what the root is. Talking about this reminds me that I dreamt about having a conversation with someone, and I got to the exact reason why this person always resisted, and it was because they didn’t believe. So Father, help me in my unbelief! Our walk together has proven that I can trust you with my life. Father, I break fear off of me in Jesus name. I declare fear has no hold on me. I choose to believe that I can live without it, and I pray that you will fill me with your everlasting love in this very area so that there’s no place for fear to settle again. Father I disagree with it and I welcome you in this place. Thank-you for this deliverance. I see a picture of of your hand and I’m putting my hand into yours, thank-you Jesus. I love you so very much!
My daughter, come, you are mine -well done! I am near to you this day and every day. I love you.
Reflection:
Wow, I really didn’t expect that! It reminds me too that I dreamt two nights ago that half of my writing pencil was going to be broken off, the carnal part of it. So this is what the Lord was showing me! I’m so deeply thankful that God is Love and that he knows and cares about me so deeply. If theres more, He’ll show me. I think sometimes its tough to walk away from a patterned way of thinking and living, and its like the Lord needs to lead us into a new way to think about things when they come up so we don’t fall back into what feels so normal. I think a big thing about that is knowing the authority we have in Jesus. Anyway, blessings to you all as you pursue the Lord as you journey with him. 🌻🌻🌻
My dad was rushed to the hospital late Friday night. Sitting there by myself and watching him has made it more real to me. They’ve taken him off all his meds so now he’s only on painkillers, and he is in a lot of pain, which is difficult to watch. I’ll be staying with him, taking turns with three of my siblings so he doesn’t need to be alone, throughout the night. Even though he’s been so quiet all his life, he’s always been someone that I trusted and loved. He’s always been kind and patient, and I will miss him very much. But he’s ready to go, and what a joyful day that will be for him when he can finally walk into his real home when he walks straight into heaven with Jesus.
