Occupy

Excuse me for being territorial

Offensive or defensive? You ponder.

Yet I want you to be my scout.

Yes be my scout.

You feel that you are invading enemy territory, yet you don’t yet know what you possess.

It is time to possess your possession.

You wonder why this land is occupied with giants.

You are pre-occupied with giants.

I want you to be pre-occupied with occupation.

Did I not say, “for you shall occupy that which was occupied”.

You wonder if you should not have had an occupation like so many others.

Yet your destiny is to occupy that which was occupied.

It makes no difference to me whether the place is occupied by giants, or a desolate place. For you will occupy that which was occupied, that which is occupied.

The enemy shouts “fall back, fall back, we are overrun”. You hear the call to fall back and want to fall back. Yet it is I, that is behind you, I am right behind you, I am pushing you forward.

For they shall fall back, they shall retreat from their established position, for I am establishing your position.

For he who is dominant, does not retreat when challenged, he moves forward, he makes is own way forward.

For you shall possess all that was lost, for you shall possess all that is lost, for that which was lost shall be found.

For your enemy does not define what is yours, for you possess all that I have given you.

For you shall dominate that which was dominant. They shall be known as “previously dominant”.

For you shall be “out of bounds”, beyond the boundary, beyond the established boundary.

For I have staked my claim, for this is holy ground.

For you gaze upon the flag pole, wondering how solid it is. You look up and down and see the strength of the pole and that it is embedded into the concrete beneath.

Is this not immovable?

Can anyone pluck you from my hand?

Yet the flag moves at my direction, at my command it furls and unfurls.

For my wind blows upon it, causing it to turn and to turnaround and to turn upon itself.

For this pattern is my pattern, those who hold my flag follow the same pattern. Shall turn and turnaround and be at peace.

For my chosen needs no command, needs no direction, for they go with my flow.

For my promise rains upon you now. You see the rain fall in abundance, drop after drop of colour until all around is flooded with colour.

For the ground before you is broken.

For I have broken this ground.

You feel the brokenness in your hands.

In a moment in an instant the ground burns in your hands, it burns bright red at your feet.

For I have given you the fiery soil, and the seed of fire, the fiery seed.

For my promise rains upon you, for the promised rain falls upon you.

For this shall be a season of super abundant growth, accelerated growth.

Bursting forth all around. Seed bursting into trees, bursting into fruit. Fruitfulness all around. Fruit bursting with seed. An explosion of seed.

Seeds of fire, seeds of fireworks. Seeds of my fire at work. And explosion of fire, a celebration of fire.

For my fire is at work. It is for your growth, for the conditions are predetermined, the conditions are set for acceleration, for explosive growth. For I declare it and it shall be as I declare.

For this has been the work of my hands, for my hand is upon your work.

This is my surprise party. For nothing catches me by surprise.

They intended it for evil but I have turned it for good.

Genesis 50:20-21 20 As for you, you thought evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring about that many people should be kept alive, as they are this day. 21 Now therefore, do not be afraid. I will provide for and support you and your little ones. And he comforted them imparting cheer, hope, strength and spoke to their hearts kindly. Amos 5:13-15 13 Therefore he who is prudent will keep silence in such a time, for it is an evil time. 14 Seek (inquire for and require) good and not evil that you may live, and so the Lord, the God of hosts, will be with you, as you have said. 15 Hate the evil and love the good and establish justice in the court of the city’s gate. It may be that the Lord, the God of hosts, will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph the northern kingdom.

For in your hands I have placed my fire, my all consuming fire.

Psalms 65:10-13 10 You water the field’s furrows abundantly, You settle the ridges of it; You make the soil soft with showers, blessing the sprouting of its vegetation. 11 You crown the year with Your bounty and goodness, and the tracks of Your chariot wheels drip with fatness. 12 The luxuriant pastures in the uncultivated country drip with moisture, and the hills gird themselves with joy. 13 The meadows are clothed with flocks, the valleys also are covered with grain; they shout for joy and sing together.
