The One That Got Away...

I'm the one that got away...
I spent my first Christmas on this earth battling measles in the hospital at barely 5 months old when the standard practice at the time was 6-9 months for the first vaccine. But I made it, I was the one that got away.

Then fast-forward 18 years later and I was again battling for my life with an unknown virus that almost took my life...I still remember my usually stoic uncle visiting me in the hospital and bursting into tears because he was sure I wouldn't make it...but I was safe in the 'protective custody' of the Father, and survived. I was once more the one that got away...even as bodies were wheeled out of my ward night after night.

Then fast-forward another 9 years later and I was once more fighting for my life in childbirth...my son presented sideways and the chances of righting him were slim; but with intercession on all sides, I was once more saved in the 'protective custody' of the Lord of Hosts! I was once more the one that got away...even as babies were taken out by the enemy. And I was then given a promise in Psalm 118:17 "I shall not die but live...to recount His illustrious acts"!

I escaped like a bird, I got away by His grace from the jaws of death and I know I have a purpose, and that is to continue to recount His illustrious acts and speak of His goodness forever...I am the one that got away! I have lots more getaway stories and I'm sure you do too!

He utterly delights in you! You are in His 'protective custody'!
The One Who Got Away...

You Have Entered the Bridge Month!

I heard the Holy Spirit say to me, "You have entered the bridge month!"; and I thought, tell me more Lord...You see, I have always had a fascination for bridges, and my family knows this. I have a bridge painting in my dining area which shows the Toronto Lakeshore area with a bridge over the lake and it so delights me to look at it. Whenever Paul & I visit a park, we usually hunt for little wooden bridges, so I can skip over them with joy, while he looks on laughingly!

I heard the Spirit say, that this month will be a bridge to the new, we are about to step into a supernatural era in all of history. Things that previously were hard to accomplish will be as easy as ever, as God releases His anointing for acceleration upon His children!

I hear the Spirit saying, "Buckle up for the ride of your lives, as I introduce My Anointed Ones to the world to manifest My goodness with signs and wonders following! This is the time of the manifestation of the sons of God...everyone who walks with me will manifest My Presence in some way to their world. This will usher in the era of acceleration and glory in the coming Jubilee year." 

So as you cross this bridge month of August, know that you are crossing into one of the greatest displays of His Presence that the earth has ever seen! And don't forget to skip over with joy, as the Lover of your soul cheers you on...

Remember, He greatly delights in you!
