a Whisper…green pastures ahead

“Though you don’t always see the path ahead, I lead you in the path of righteousness. I make a way for you in times of joy and challenge. Accept all these things for they are part of my plan for you.

Challenges may at times feel crushing, however, they can pull you into my presence and cause you to seek me with fervency for deliverance and help that you might be set free.  I use all these things to bless you so that you will see my hand of goodness and deliverance in your life. My grace is enough for each need and I will be your comfort and strength as you trust me.

The enemy may try to come against you when you are down. You must learn to recognize this so that you can cast him away. He will attack your mind and try to deceive you into thinking that I have abandoned you. He is the father of lies, the distorter of truth, and you do not need to give him a foothold in your circumstances. I have given you power over him because my Spirit is in you, and greater is my Spirit in you than he is.

As you separate yourself from the lies of the enemy, you will see the power of my Spirit at work. Your faith is your strength. Your trust in me gives you the power to overcome, to be healed, and to experience wholeness of mind and body. I am your source of healing and I will minister to you in times of trouble, and in times of physical weakness so that you will conquer your fears and come through the difficult way.

I tell you there is always blessing on the other side of trials and tribulations. Persevere with me for I am with you. Deliverance will come from me. My hand will move over you and you will again be restored as I lead you to the green pastures of joy and refreshment.”

I am a devoted follower of Christ who believes that when we have ears to hear, God will speak to us. He not only uses His word through the Bible, but he uses the Holy Spirit to communicate with us in many different ways, but mostly in the ways He knows each individual heart will hear Him. This blog is simply about sharing the whispers that the Lord has spoken to my heart during quiet times with Him. I give Him all the credit for the words shared on this site. If there is any encouragement for you, as there has been for me, the blessing is from Him. I pray that all who find this blog will hear his voice in these Whispers.
