Having a daily routine in the word of God sets you up for divine appointments in His word. Those moments in scripture that catch your eye, vibrate your spirit and heal your soul are priceless moments no one can take from you. It can be challenging at times to communicate a revelation received from intimacy because others have not received what you received. But you can be an echo for someone else that establishes a truth in them that will strengthen them for their journey.

This past week I have been hit like a freight train with the flu. It has had me on literal bed rest since Monday and I am finally feeling stronger today. I learned a lot this week being laid out in bed. One there is nothing physically enjoyable about being sick. However, I also learned when your flesh is weak you can truly know what is in your spirit and soul. I don’t think I have ever realized how much our strength is in our flesh until the flesh says I am done, so all you have is your spirit and soul. It was such a blessing this week to be without my flesh to protect me, to defend me, to guard me, for the Lord sent messangers of hope, grace and truth from so many directions and they did not even know what I was dealing with, but God did and they came rushing in with words of life from some very unexpected places.

Then this morning, I am reading Zechariah 9 and it says, “As for you also, because of the blood of my covenant with you, I will set your prisoners free from the waterless pit. Return to your stronghold, O prisoners of hope; today I declare that I will restore to you double.” Immediately the Holy Spirit says, “Communion is the meal that heals!” I had my communion on my desk, so I declared with Zechariah restore double of all that has been stolen from me for I am returning to the stronghold of hope.

Friends, we are not alone ever. God is for us and not against us. More people are for us than those who are against us. Forgive quickly, love deeply, sing loudly and give extravagantly. I promise nothing you sow will not go unnoticed by the Lord. And take communion, for it is the meal the heals.
