Genesis 41:55-57, 42:5-24; Psalm 33:2-3,10-11; Matthew 10:1-7,18-19

living
in the design
of God’s heart
we are struck
with awe
in a sacred presence
that guides
and questions
our hearts
intent
desires
motives
revealed
we are held
in sacred judgement
that turns us
back to love

What do you hear in God’s questions to you?

Genesis 32:23-32; Psalm 17: 1-15; Matthew 9:32-38

moved by pity
for our anxieties
we are embraced
by God’s Presence
and are freed
from our deepest worries
living
without deceit
or malice
in God’s eternal moment
where all our love
joy
and peace
are released–
we see the face of God
and live

Do you allow the release of your anxieties?

Genesis 28:1-22; Psalm 91:1-15; Matthew 9:18-26

finding
our sacred place
we are filled
with the joy
and peace
of knowing

healed
or our lifelong
infirmities
raised from death
we feel the lightness
of our being
and rejoice
trusting
deeply
in the God
who hears us
and loves us
to life

Have you been healed of your lifelong infirmities?
Has God raised you from death?

Zec 9:9-10; Psalm 145:1-14; Romans 8:9-13; Matthew 11:25-30

this place
of Spirit
that dwells within
living
unburdened
it is His gift
to our weariness
finding rest
we let go
of all that our flesh
demands
and enslaves us to
and live
in God’s grace
with a new heart
and mind
compassionate
kind
and merciful

Do you dare become unburdened and live in His Spirit?

Genesis 27:1-5, 15-29; Psalm 135; Matthew 9:14-17

there is
no fast
in God’s presence
as all
is fulfilled
only in waiting
for our eyes
to see
our ears to hear
and be renewed
deceptions
trickery
and lies
turn into blessings
as all is turned
into Truth

What are your blessings?

aligning

in knowledge
in ways of the Spirit
we are healed
and enter
God’s promised land
of peace
and thankfulness

Do you experience God’s healing presence?

Genesis 22:1B-19; Psalm 115:1-9; Matthew 9:1-8

we rise up
and walk
with the living God
not made of silver
and gold
but seeing
hearing
smelling
tasting
breathing
moving
and having our Being
in the world
no longer bound
by sacrifice
we live
in God’s spirit
of love
kindness
and mercy
that flows
through our hearts

Where do you find God?

Genesis 21:8-20; Psalm 34:7-13; Matthew 8:28-34

demons
cry out
to the one
who knows them
looking
for a way

demons expelled
we are free
to live our life
without distress
in the arms
of angels
to guide us
to the love
we most desire

seeking God
we learn that we have
all we need
and live in God’s desire
for our Good
and the Good of all

Are you free?

Genesis 19:15-29; Psalm 26:2-12; Matthew 8:23-27

living in the fear
of our storms
He awakens in us
to quell our fears
with a calmness
that sweeps over
our life
searching our heart
and soul
nothing is left untouched
brought to light
we lose our self reference
and see all in Him
God and Spirit
our guide
we live
in the spaciousness
of grace and mercy
where all is forgiven
and Heaven
rushes in

Do you allow God’s calming of the storms in your life?

Ephesians 2:19-22; Psalm 117:1,2; John 20:24-29

greater than
our need
to touch
and see
our faith
lives beyond
our concepts
and concrete notions
in a a realm
that calls for
a complete surrender
into the unknowing
allowing the Truth
of Christ’s completeness
to enter
revealing
a dwelling place
of God
in the Spirit

Are you blessed to have not seen but believe?
