Psalm 8
“O Lord, our Lord,
How majestic is Your name in all the earth,
Who have displayed Your splendor above the heavens!
From the mouth of infants and nursing babes You have established strength
Because of Your adversaries,
To make the enemy and the revengeful cease.
When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have ordained;
What is man that You take thought of him,
And the son of man that You care for him?
Yet You have made him a little lower than God,
And You crown him with glory and majesty!
You make him to rule over the works of Your hands;
You have put all things under his feet,
All sheep and oxen,
And also the beasts of the field,
The birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea,
Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
O Lord, our Lord,
How majestic is Your name in all the earth!”

=====================================================
Greetings brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus (Yehshua) and to those who don’t know Him (hopefully “yet”).
I had been feeling quite weary of just about everything (And I believe many of you are as well) . . . Prophecy and the mixture I see in the prophetic community (UGG), false teaching, false preaching, false doctrine . . . what’s occuring globally . . . the depravity of the United States . . . the rise of Demonic powers and darkness . . . The lost souls that continue to harden their hearts to the TRUTH . . . the continued need to share what the Heavenly Father lays on my heart to share, yet knowing MOST professing Christians don’t want to hear it, believe it or even pray about it. Yes, VERY weary and wanting to retreat into the depths of the Heavenly Father’s Heart to stay there forever.
I put on some worship music, read some in Proverbs and Psalms, then when feeling worn out enough to possibly get to sleep around 3am, I ask the Father, “Please tell me something about creation.”
This was the reply back:
“THE MILKY WAY IS JUST A SWIRL IN THE POND OF MY EXISTENCE.”
WOW . . . I was given an awesome Word from the Father to help me understand a little bit more about Who He is and the VAST POWER HE has.
HE IS STILL IN CONTROL AND ON THE THRONE!!! HE IS ALL-POWERFUL . . . . MAJESTIC. . . THE GREAT “I AM”, Who even knows the number of hairs on our head (Luke 12:7, Matthew 10:30).
I finally drifted off to sleep and had a dream where I was telling somebody the word I received from the LORD:
“THE MILKY WAY IS JUST A SWIRL IN THE POND OF MY EXISTENCE”
I knew upon awakening that I needed to share this encouraging word with YOU today and remind you that we serve an AWESOME MIGHTY CREATOR OF ALL and HE LOVES YOU!!! HE WANTS AN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU THROUGH JESUS CHRIST (YEHSHUA), THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD. . . . WILL YOU LET HIM IN TO 100% OF YOUR LIFE?
Matthew 11:28-30 ~
“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden,
and I will give you rest.
Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for
I am gentle and humble in heart,
and you will find rest for your souls.
For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

OVERCOMERS
To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne. Revelation 3:21
Christians in areas of persecution have used many metaphors and similes to describe the victory of following Jesus and becoming an overcomer as He was. Here are some examples:
In the former Soviet Union, believers said:
Overcomers are like nails. The harder you hit them, the deeper they go!
In China believers said:
Overcomers are like bamboo. The more you cut them down, the faster and stronger they grow back.
In Iran believers said:
Overcomers are like rubber balls. The harder you throw them down on the floor, the higher they rebound!
Overcomers are like flowers. The more you crush them, the stronger and sweeter the fragrance.
In the Philippines believers said:
Overcomers are like stained-glass cathedral windows at night. Their true beauty is revealed only when there is light from within.
In India believers said:
Overcomers are like tea bags. You have to put them in hot water to know how strong they are!
You can be an overcomer! And you can stand strong through the storm!
RESPONSE: Today I will be an overcomer standing strong through the storm.
PRAYER: Pray that all Christians living under severe persecution will be encouraged and understand what it means to be an overcomer…as well as anticipate the many rewards Jesus promises to overcomers.

(wingsofprophecy)
Wow. It’s really about the Holy Spirit flowing through us, isn’t it? We’re just the clean empty glasses in the cupboard, ready for the Master to fill with HIMSELF, and use as He sees fit. The glasses in the cupboard don’t jump up and down and tell Him they’re not ready or they don’t want to, or stay there arguing about the doctrines of the other glasses. Without HIM and His anointing, we can do nothing of eternal value for the Kingdom.
BUT, we need to ASK. He will not violate our free will. We have to be willing vessels!

Godly Wisdom
Do not rely on your own wisdom to get you through, but allow My wisdom in. If you ask Me, I will grant you wisdom to know how to solve the hard problems in your life. My wisdom will flow through you, allowing you to make right choices and have good success in all you do.
Man’s wisdom is based on inferior knowledge and cannot compete with Mine. Only I know all that is coming, and only I know how you can be safe in all you do.
Do not neglect these great gifts I offer you, for soon you will need them more than ever.
James 1:5
5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
Proverbs 2:6-7
6 For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
7 He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
Proverbs 3:13
13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.

Thank you for sharing that, Peggy. TRUTH is not always easy to hear/read, but it’s still the TRUTH and if we don’t like it or to reject it . . . We are actually choosing not to like or to reject Jesus, because He said of Himself:
John 14:6-7 ~
“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. If you had known Me, you would know My Father as well. From now on you do know Him and have seen Him.'”
MOST people don’t consider that very sobering TRUTH about TRUTH.

I hope I’m not being discouraging here, but your last sentence above reminded me of this post.
God is truly not a respecter of persons, but regards Hearts and the state of the Inner Spiritual Man surrendered 100% to Jesus’ Finished Work on the Cross for their Salvation.

Linda,
Your post reminded me of Psalm 19:1-6. I couldn’t resist posting the whole Psalm, though.
I put spaces between what I perceived as different themes in the Psalm.
PSALM 19
For the director of music. A psalm of David.
1 The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
2 Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they reveal knowledge.
3 They have no speech, they use no words;
no sound is heard from them.
4 Yet their voice goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.
In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun.
5 It is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
like a champion rejoicing to run his course.
6 It rises at one end of the heavens
and makes its circuit to the other;
nothing is deprived of its warmth.
7 The law of the Lord is perfect,
refreshing the soul.
The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy,
making wise the simple.
8 The precepts of the Lord are right,
giving joy to the heart.
The commands of the Lord are radiant,
giving light to the eyes.
9 The fear of the Lord is pure,
enduring forever.
The decrees of the Lord are firm,
and all of them are righteous.
10 They are more precious than gold,
than much pure gold;
they are sweeter than honey,
than honey from the honeycomb.
11 By them your servant is warned;
in keeping them there is great reward.
12 But who can discern their own errors?
Forgive my hidden faults.
13 Keep your servant also from willful sins;
may they not rule over me.
Then I will be blameless,
innocent of great transgression.
14 May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart
be pleasing in your sight,
Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.
Verse 14 is what my Pastor always prayed before every Sermon he preached when I was growing up age 11 through 19. I always thought that it was beautiful. And WOW, the words of our mouth are IMPORTANT. “Death and life are in the power of the tongue.” Our words should line up with God’s Words, too!

A swirl in the pond….that description contains a lot in it. Space per se could be looked as a sea where galaxies are born from small things like our earth was spoken to existence by the Lord. Space is ever expanding and has from our perspective limitless space, I stated before that as our universe expands I’m thinking we are seeing the mansions being created Christ talked about.
We are described as inhabiting an tabernacle while living on earth(our body). Once the creation returns to its perfect existence again when the Lord remakes it in the book of revelation we will probably see travel and physics in use we never more than theorized about in our current form.
Like instantaneous inter dimensional and galactic travel in a split second like Alain Aspect experiment showed in 1980 with connectivity of particles. It will be a grand time and there will be so much more than we know!
And time will be no more either as death will be conquered and Nikolai Kozyrevs possibility for an experimental study of time paper will be null&avoid in its current form.
So much to ponder so limited we are at the moment! Great post Linda
