“Sing joyfully to the Lord, you righteous; it is filling for the upright to praise him. Praise the Lord with the harp; make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre. Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy. For the word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does. The Lord loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love.”
Psalm 33:1-5
Conversation
Papa, You are so Great; I love You forever.
Come My darling; you are Mine. All is well with you.
Papa, it’s You who enable us to come to You in every stage of our journey with You. So I ask that You would enable me to take the next step.
Come. I will enable you. Faith.
Papa, I lay down my life for You. I want my old skin to be peeled away. I want to step into the new, my God-given purpose.
My daughter, rise up int the purpose I’ve given you. Do not be afraid, for I am with you wherever you go.
Reflection
Hello and welcome to my journal. Life in the valley can be very difficult, but we need to remember that God is always faithful. Right now I’m in a valley, being tested and pruned so that in God’s time I’ll be ready to walk out of this valley, Victorious! What I’ve been doing as I’m waiting is spending time with God and keeping on doing what He’s already asked me to do. I’m clinging onto hope because God is my firm foundation. God is faithful and I know that He will never let me down, and I’m going to stay faithful to Him. He has shown me His faithfulness all the time and I know His love through that. God gives me dreams and wakes me up at certain times. As you read my journal my hope is that even though I’m in a valley in my life, I hope you will be inspired to always keep your heart open to God no matter what’s going on in your life, because God is a God of Love and He always has a Good plan for our life. He knows how to lead us; we just need to trust Him and follow Him! Very often God draws my heart to Him through love songs and intimacy with Him in dreams, because as part of the bride of Christ, Jesus is my husband. My love for God/Jesus keeps on growing as I continue to pursue Him. During the night God wakes me up at certain times with either a word from Him and/or a dream. So here’s my journal entry for today…
11:56 In a vision I saw someone carrying a harp and walking quickly on the sidewalk, walking right up to me.
12:01 “ya”
12:06 “4 made it too”
12:26 “I know there is peace within Your presence, I need Jesus. Your name is power, Your name greater, Your name, stands above them all. All thrones and dominions all powers and positions Your name, stands above them all. And the angels cry, Holy. All creation cries, Holy. You are lifted high, Holy, Holy forever.”
I dreamt someone was driving a vehicle and the road became so narrow, tapering off so that there wasn’t any road left. Then I saw the car back up and fall off a cliff. In waking life I believe this represents that this long and difficult journey of being in the fire of God is basically done and because of the difficulty of this last step, I backed up and fell. My heart has been shattered but I hear Jesus calling me to get back up and finish the race.
Another dream where I was sitting in a chair inside a house and someone who was driving by saw me. I crouched down a bit but they still kept on looking at me. Then the scene changed where they had come into the building and began skinning the person who was sitting close to me. I could see their brown skin on their face being turned inside out. I was alarmed. I had another dream about being in a place where they take showers; I saw steam.
Today I watched a sermon by J.John from the UK about Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. In it he said something about being able to smell on people who have accepted Jesus into their hearts but they’re still walking around in grave clothes. This represents the thing (or things) that we need to let go of that’s between us and Jesus in order to be set free. In my life it’s me that’s in the way. In the Bible Jesus asked those who were there to help Lazarus go free by taking off his grave clothes because he couldn’t do that by himself; I feel like as I take online Bible study’s and other courses I’m being helped, but I really do need to get up in order to be helped. I need to get up like Lazarus needed to get up while in the grave. I’m getting up… I’m sensing I should have gone up onto the stage to help sing that song when the speaker asked for someone to come up. God enables us to follow Him, but in that I also need to have courage, trust Him and lay down my life for Him. The verse above was in my daily reading of Psalms and I thought it was neat that I had dreamt something about a harp. I’m not yet sure of what a harp could represent. Blessings… 🙏🏻
