GOD’S MERCY RESTS ON US

Some tips on staying authentic and true; tender in heart as ministers of reconciliation through the decades too! It’s a hard gig, if you take your eyes off the King of Glory! Humanity’s process has the capacity to rip your heart to shreds too!

Mercy is who He is, justice through generational, that’s the essence of perspective carrying you!

You know what you’re oiled for. What makes you tick. What you come back to in your life, time and time again, like a band stretched – you return to you. Come back to the authentic calling upon you.. some are called to help others conciliate, mediate, grow a prosperous mindset! Generate, scale, steward, pass on generational wealth! Eternal gold, or literal gold! (Can recommend Johnny Enlow’s The 7 mountain top book as a guide for clarity on that.)

For those of us called to deliverance ministry, whether that’s local church leadership, trans-local itinerant working with local churches, or in media as ministers; it’s the oil that perpetually sustains us. Many get taken out from heart sick. Let down by people on their journey and the financial aspect which is just as important as the gifts, character and administration of the gift you carry too. Jesus taught more about money in the gospels than prayer. Money is important. The Apostle Paul and co were financed by faithful Philippians and various other supporters, who stewarded the calling to go, as they sowed their lives into the Kingdom while on earth. As they taught, encouraged, seeing the outworking of miracles, they lived simple lives not wanting to burden, or task anyone. Women have always been at the forefront of Jesus mind, heart and ministry. The scholars of old would not have stories told, but the Word and Spirit ignite, so grateful for modern day translators bringing the Word to life!

My experience with walking in the Spirit, staying tender hearted too, is due to dove eyes looking at me through mercy’s kiss for humanity too! When human relationship’s end or we let ourselves or others down, the myriad of complexities each heart goes through, at the end of the day, we are oiled for dignity and worth, for life and love, that’s our only responsibility to steward- our lives and let others do theirs too!

Agency is a powerful thing! Love isn’t fluffy. Leadership involves courage! Daily courage. The hard conversations. The tough things. Calling things out when necessary. You are not responsible for other’s choices, you can guide and advise when invited, the rest not up to you! Jesus had a very small inner circle. The Father and John. Peter was right in there, the 12 became 11 as Judas hung. Immaculate conception through a woman, no mans’ seed, Jesus the Messiah, birthed through Mary! Then there’s the other Mary and Mary Magdeline too! God is Spirit, he created man and woman equal too! You have a voice! You have agency too!

Mercy gives you the capacity to not bleed out over human relationships. Mercy gives you dove eyes! Patience through life’s process. God is generational. Sometimes, justice looks like the next generation walking free, breaking out of decades of historical cycles of defeat- all because one person decided to follow HIS lead. What and who are you called to steward through sacrificial commitment, boots on ground, personally lead? Sheep know the Shepherd! Hirelings devour and leave!

Mercy is the perspective that enables your heart to go on. To pour out as unto the Lord, unto Him, a drink offering. To take time to stop for the one in a celebrity culture that’s ripped the heart out of One.

He calls us worthy, He calls us higher, it’s His heart for Oneness that overcomes. People come into our lives for 2 reasons. To be blessed by us, or to bless us, others are a lesson. Through our humanity and journey of unpacking the new nature identity, it’s the power of God that rests upon one! We rest and rely on the Son! Oneness comes as hearts continually yield to the Son.

When I look back at key connections, key relationships, deposits and withdrawals in relationships over my life, personally and professionally, I see the Son! I see how ’that specific network connection restored my dignity and worth around men.’ I see how God worked through me in that persons life to stand and overcome! Each heart a gift, each heart won! We don’t own people, we don’t control. We simply steward our lives, calling, gifts and character sustained in the Son!

You need a relationship with Holy Spirit to overcome! God is Spirit, not cerebral, you’re a son in the house, One!

Mercy is the trump card and mercy and justice come! They are tandem. I look at my 5 children and how they have overcome as the generation coming after me. Ones who are emotionally present, have a work ethic, not victims, not entitled. They are sound, stable, not addicted, not running around town. A blessing of years of God’s dealings with me, as I have chosen to come before his presence, plug in, get real, deal.. faithful with little- faithful with much. When the money has been little, we’ve seen miracles abound and the capacity in God to plug in, train, work multiple jobs, study and stay sound! God has come through time and time again, led me where to go, what to do and how to do it, when other’s have run out of town. Jesus isn’t asking us to feed the 5,000. We come with the little we have, the bread and fish, HE does the rest. Religion is a false God. It’s man’s effort on God’s behalf. Some of you simply need to stick around. Stick to the basics. Plug in, do what’s right in your town. The favour of God is there. There’s no special ones that are more pretty, more gifted, more able than you.

Born with a disability? Abandoned at birth? Conceived out of un-consensual sex/rape? Held back by control, tradition and others’ views you’ve allowed in your town? The lights are on now! God can turn that ALL that around! We’ve seen Daddy come through time and time again! Boots on ground, the power of love abound!

You carry his heart darling, mercy and miracles abound!!

Partnerships of trust are ahead for you! New covenant ministry that involves you! Reconcilers in a world full of chaos and turmoil. The provider shall come through, His faithfulness is upon you. My prayer for you as you continue to tap in, tasting his kindness and goodness, his mercy too, that you’ll leave a legacy in this life of mercy miracles as deliverance shines through you!

Everything you need is coming together. For your future, for the crowd, for the one on ones too! Many of you will partner with a purpose mate in the days ahead! Your mate will compliment you, not compete with you, or complete you! You are already one in the Son! You don’t loose your identity in a healthy relationship. Both take responsibility as the mirror of acceptance grace is held up! Both step up and both grow up! Yielded to the One! Those willing to do the personal development, allow the processes of God to take place. Stepping out of false identities, culture and tradition that leaves them in a spin! We’re seeing servant hearted sons raised in the One! Laid down lovers! Fully alive, fully in! We’re going to see many couples partner with purpose in the days ahead. Spirit led! Heart led! Wise as foxes, harmless as doves! Laid down lovers, led from above!

Kingdom come! Power, presence, purpose for others come!

King of Glory, take the reins! This is where true freedom reigns!

2 Corinthians 4:1-10, 16-18 TPT

New Covenant Ministry

1-10 “Now, it’s because of God’s mercy that we have been entrusted with the privilege of this new covenant ministry. And we will not quit or faint with weariness. We reject every shameful cover-up and refuse to resort to cunning trickery or distorting the Word of God. Instead, we open up our souls to you by presenting the truth to everyone’s conscience in the sight and presence of God. Even if our gospel message is veiled, it is only veiled to those who are perishing, for their minds have been blinded by the god of this age, leaving them in unbelief. Their blindness keeps them from seeing the dayspring light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the divine image of GOd. We don’t preach ourselves, but rather the Lordship of Jesus Christ, for we are your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, we said,

“Let brilliant light shine out of darkness,” is the one who has cascaded his light into us- the brilliant dawning light of this glorious knowledge of God as we gaze into the face of Jesus Christ. We are like common clay jars that carry this glorious treasure within, so that this immeasurable power will be seen as God’s, not ours. Though we experience every kind of pressure, we’re not crushed. At times we don’t know what to do, but quitting is not an option. We are persecuted by others, but God has not forsaken us. We may be knocked down, but not out. We continually share in the death of Jesus in our own bodies so that the resurrection life of Jesus will be revealed through our humanity.”

16-18 So no wonder we don’t give up. For even though our outer person gradually wears out, our inner being is renewed every single day. We view our slight, short-lived troubles in the light of eternity. We see our difficulties as the substance that produces for us an eternal, weighty glory far beyond all comparison, because we don’t focus our attention on what is seen but what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but the unseen realm is eternal.”
