The Lord showed me this morning that I’d broken through into a place where I was able to wait for Him without anxiety or without needing to know all the details of what He is going to do and when…

It just happened – I was in the shower and all of a sudden I knew that the anxiety which I’d been carrying had left…

It just left…

Someone may have been praying for me – I don’t know – I just know that the Lord removed the burden and I felt free – my eczema (which I mentioned in the Enter into His Rest post) felt as if it was healed – it’s still there on my wrists – but on the inside it felt healed – the source – which was the anxiety which He showed me – has gone… 🙂

Praise the Lord…

What He showed me last night and this morning was that I didn’t need to know any more…

There are major changes coming in my life – He’s been telling me this – and this has been causing some – in fact quite a lot of – anxiety, bubbling up (from my sub-conscious) in me…

I broke through to that place where although my foundation – so to speak – is going to be shaken and I will be leaving the familiar and stepping out into the unknown – and a lot of security blankets are going to be removed – although all this is going to take place in the not too distant future – I came to that place where I was content and didn’t need to know the details…

He told me back in Manila that covetousness was wanting something which the Lord had not given me – and I see that when the Lord speaks and tells us things which will happen – whether they’re in our own lives or in others – we can be covetous even about what He speaks that He will give us (but has not yet given us in the natural) – this can cause anxiety where we try and work out how He will do this and try to help Him to make these things into reality – help Him to give us the things which He has promised – this is covetousness too…

Where He brought me to last night and then first thing this morning was to a practical experience of what it means to be content – content to wait until He fulfils His word to me – His promise to me and yet not “holding it to His Head” so to speak in terms of being disappointed if He didn’t bring that to reality (and yet knowing – as I did – that He would bring those things into reality – an amazing place)…

Trust…

And submission…

Reverence…

And respect…

He is my life…

He is Faithful…

He is in control…

He doesn’t need my help… 🙂

He’s quite capable of fulfilling His own will… 🙂

He doesn’t need my help… 🙂

But as He catches me up I rise on wings like eagles and soar with Him in His will and in His desire – His desire to save the world…

How He is going to do this is His business…

If I am “caught up” into the Engine Room of heaven so to speak and hear some of the things which He is going to do – Praise God – but just because I’ve heard them doesn’t mean that I can do anything to make them happen…

I have to wait on Him…

And I can’t strive for more – more revelation – everything must be done in His rest – yes, if He puts it on my heart to “push in” for further revelation then Praise God, He will enable me to do that…

If not I am to be content with what I know and faithful to believe this come what may – this is the test of my faith and the fellowship of sharing in His sufferings – we overcome by our faith…

This is the place He has called us to and in this place we can hear His Voice – for we are in a place of peace and silent waiting before Him…

Watching daily at His doors as a friend shared with me years ago – I was touched by this friends submission to the Lord – she was living something at that time which I had not yet experienced – Praise You Jesus… 🙂

When we see things which are to come we are to wait for them patiently – the Lord’s definition of soon is not the same as ours – He sees things from an eternal perspective – when we enter a “now” time with God we will be swept off our feet – once He starts moving there is no time anymore to plan – He has “broken out” and we will be “caught up” in what He is doing – savour the quiet, peaceful (almost boring) times with God before He moves – wait (tarry) with Him in those times – for He will surely come – the calm always precedes the storm…
