Divine Strength

It was devastating.

All around devastation, as far as your eye could see.

The smouldering embers of war, the rain falling upon the wounded and the fallen.

For it was devastating.

For they will not recover, for they are without refuge. Beyond redemption. For I have taken back, and they are now taken back.

For you have no need of refuge, no need of shelter from the storm.

For you are my storm maker, my climate changer, my ground breaker.

Lift your hand and the ground breaks before you. Opening up a way, opening up a new way, dividing, and separating, breaking it down, remoulding and reshaping the ground.

You have glimpses of you curled up in a corner, hiding yourself from the downpour. And yet, and yet, in a moment your refuge is gone.

For I have clothed you with such strength, your very body is like a fortress, the attack of the enemy is futile.

Jeremiah 1:18 For I, behold, I have made you this day a fortified city and an iron pillar and bronze walls against the whole land—against the successive kings of Judah, against its princes, against its priests, and against the people of the land giving you divine strength which no hostile power can overcome.

For you are meant to be out in the open, out of seclusion, out of reclusion.

From the place of solitude to the place of habitation, to the great assembly, for they shall assemble before you.

For I declare you are the way maker, you carry my seal of approval, the authority of the king, the way setter, the path forger.

Esther 8:8 Write also concerning the Jews as it pleases you in the king’s name, and seal it with the king’s signet ring—for writing which is in the king’s name and sealed with the king’s ring no man can reverse.

Through you I will do that which has never been done before. Rivers in the desert, springs of light, fountains of light, shooting forth from the ground. A celebration, a work of fire, a firework.

Astonishment is your gift, for I shall leave them astounded.

Lift up your eyes, open your eyes, for I have given you the eyes of Elijah.

Renew your mind, refresh your mind, possess my revelation. Take again my revelation. Hold on to my revelation as I am revealing it before your eyes.

For the power of the Lord is revealed upon you, and in you.

Picture of a huge rope clearly designed for a giant, placed before me, in my arms. And these words in response to my question – why the strength of a thousand?

For I am giving you something something much bigger than you expect, and now the strength so that you may carry it.

Then the pulling on it, anchored to the ground and as I pulled the very ground moved.

In the place of confinement, in the place of the surrounding, in the place set for the ambush, is my place of freedom, is the place where I will establish freedom.

Judges 15:11-15 Then 3,000 men of Judah went down to the cleft of the rock Etam and said to Samson, Have you not known that the Philistines are rulers over us? What is this that you have done to us? He said to them, As they did to me, so have I done to them. And they said to him, We have come down to bind you, that we may deliver you into the hands of the Philistines. And Samson said to them, Swear to me that you will not fall upon me yourselves. And they said to him, No, we will bind you fast and give you into their hand; but surely we will not kill you. So they bound him with two new ropes and brought him up from the rock. And when he came to Lehi, the Philistines came shouting to meet him. And the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon Samson, and the ropes on his arms became as flax that had caught fire, and his bonds melted off his hands. And he found a still moist jawbone of a donkey and reached out and took it and slew 1,000 men with it.

For they shall come to bind you, to take you to the place of your defeat, and yet you cannot be bound, you are bound to be free. In the place of bondage I will bring freedom, I shall establish freedom. I call it the place of freedom.

I’m doing an exchange, New for old replacement. The old bondage, with the new freedom.

I have done it before, now will do it again through you.
