God's ABUNDANT promises to me. WOw.

God has
been giving me so many promises recently that i feel overwhemled.

here they are:

ps128

blessed are all who fear the lord
who walk in his ways

you will eat the fruit of your labour blessings and prosperity will be yours

your wife ( me?!) will be like a fruitful vine within your house
thus is the man blesses who fears the lord.

may the lord bless you from zion all the days of your life
may you see the prosperity of jerusalem and
may you live to see your children's children.

the lord has been promising me that he wants to bless me mightily. i do not know how ( and i need not know how and what) but i am just overwhelmed by his favour and grace. i could only say thank you god for your grace and love.

ps 34

the eyes of the lord are on the righteous
and his ears are attentive totheri cry


the righteos cry out and hte lord hears them
he delivers them from all their troubles
the lrod is close to the broken heartred nd save those who aare crushed in teh spirit

a righteous man may have many troubles but the lord delivers him from them all
he protects all his bones
not one of them will be broken.

the word of the lord about ernest to me - that he will deliver ernest from all troubles and keep him safe.

ernest is a righteous man.

ps 33

from heaven the lord looks down and sees all mankind form his swelling place he watches all who live on earth

he who forms the hears of all who considers everything they do

no king is saved by the size of his army
no warrior escapes by his great strength
a horse is a vain hope for deliverance
despite all its great strength it cannot save
But the eyes of the lord are on those who fear him and him them alive in famine

we wait in hope fo rhte lrod
he is our help and our shiedl
in our our hearts reoice and we trust in his holy name
may your unfailing love rest upon us even as we put our hope in you.

this is the word god gives me regarding ernest. he may be going thru tribulation and a lot of questions regarding the promise to enter the promised land. the lord tells me that He will deliver ernest from his difficult time and save him from the difficult situation.

He will keep ernest alive in the famine and his eyes and hand is always on him.

it is done all in the name of god, not our strength.

thank you lord and amen.

i love you jesus with all i am and i belong to you dear jesus.

love you with hugs and kisses from me
forever yours lamb lamb girl girl

ps 89 -god's word to me as my family purchase a house

dear god
thank you for speaking to me this morning yet again.

ps 89

v9
you rule over the surging sea when its wave mount up, you still them

the lord tells me that though times may be tough right now, He is lord over the troubles and he watches over us.

v13
your arm is endued with power your hand is strong and your right hand exalted.

many times during recent weeks, god has been speaking to me about his strong hand - that he will strengthen according to his might. today he speaks of that again. thank you god.

v15
blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you who walk in the light of your presence

god tells me the key to blessedness - praise god and abide in him in all circumstances.

v17
for your are their glory and strength and by your favour you exalt our horn.

this is the promise that god gives me this morning as i seek him regarding the purchase of the new house. God says that He will be the Glory and Strength in our lives and by his grace and favour, he will exalt my family to high places we have not thought of.

our horn - in the past, the horn is used in battle to sound the beginning of the battle. i think exalt the horn means to win the battle. in today's context i think exalt our horn means to help us win the battle we are engaged in.

v18
indeed our shield belongs to the lord our king to the holy one of israel.

god once again reminds me that our shield is not in our abilities or talents, but it is simply the Name and GRace and Favour of the Lord.

amenl.

God 's promise to david holds true also to me:

v 19

i have bestowed strength on a warrior, i have a exalted a yojng man /woman from among the people.

my hand will sustain Rachael, surely my arm will strengthen her

no enemy will subject her to tribute ( in this case it may refer to the clutches of financial slavery) no wicked man will oppress her ( she will live a life of freedom - including freedom from satan and the evils of money)

my faithful love will be with rachael

and through my name her horn will be exalted ( promise is repeated)

i will set her hand over the sea his right hand over the rivers

she will call out to me 'you are my father my god rock and saviour

thank you lord for your word to me.

i claim it and keep it in my heart as i continue to journed down a new chapter with you.

not by man's strength but by your power.

hold my hand step by step of the way.

jesus i need you . you are my all in all in my life.

not my job nor my husaband -- but you lord will bring your promise to pass cos of your faithfulness.

forgive me fo my sins. thank you for your grace.

amen.

i love you jesus

forever yours in your arms and heart
your apple of your eyes
Rachael lamb lamb
~~ i want to follow you always.

hugs and kisses for you my lover of my soul, my all in all.
