WARFARE AND REST

“It is so important that you carry the BALANCE of WARFARE AND REST in this intense season. If you FOCUS SOLELY on WARFARE, you will become BURNED OUT and WEAK. When you make it a PRIORITY to ENTER INTO MY REST, it will REFRESH you and it will REMIND you of what you are fighting for. WARFARE is a place where I display the STRENGTH of My Right Arm through you to ANNIHILATE the enemy. But ENTERING MY REST is also a place of GREAT STRENGTH because it says that your TRUST is in Me to bring the VICTORY, and it is QUIET CONFIDENCE in My POWER that all My PROMISES will be FULFILLED. It is a SWEET SURRENDER of FAITH that RESTS in Me to set the RHYTHM of your life between WARFARE AND REST. Never feel GUILTY for RESTING in Me or obeying the prompting of Holy Spirit to DRAW AWAY with Me. This includes doing things that bring you LIFE and JOY because these will RESTORE your soul and the JOY of the Lord is your STRENGTH. TRUST Me as I draw you into WARFARE, and I draw you into REST. ENJOY the very LIFE and FREEDOM that you are fighting for.”

S’MORES WITH THE FATHER

I have sensed the Father wants me to seek Him in new ways in this New Year and season. As I yielded to that and rested in His goodness, I smelled smoke and then saw the Father by a blazing campfire roasting marshmallows for S’mores. I am delighted and say I like my marshmallows slightly burned. He smiles and builds me a S’more to enjoy the hot, gooey, delicious mess. Our fellowship is just as sweet. No Throne Room glory or the intensity of the War Room or the Council Chambers but an everyday, simple fellowship and union around a campfire. The sky had more stars than I have ever seen. He was enjoying Himself immensely, and I felt loved and cherished by Him.
