Strategically Placed

This morning's entry came as such an encouragement and perspective change for me. God is reminding me that I am in the world but not of the world. And this applies to every aspect of my life. But He's let me taste some of the sorrows in this world because well 1. I gave my life to Him and told Him I would go anywhere He takes Me. 2. He needed me to see for myself.  He has needed me to taste the bitterness so I could properly understand what people in this world are going through and so I could be in a position of intercession over it. 

Where do you find yourself today? Don't overlook the possibility that you are there on assignment. And though the enemy might try to take you down, you are not on the losing team like he might be trying to convince you of. NO! You are on God's team. You are not a victim of circumstance, you have been SENT. Refuse to live in a victim mentality. Grab hold of Jesus in intercession for yourself and those around you. 

And remember: This, too, shall pass.

Here's today's encouragement from the Father:

OH the JOYS! The JOY set before you! For you do not even know what you are about to come into! A land filled with milk and honey. A land with plenty! haha! haha! Yes! The time is ticking toward the hour that will strike! And like in Cinderella, all will change at midnight! ha! I tell you this secret and it is true!

Now listen! The enemy has no hold on you! Though you walk through the shadow of death and stink, you only look and see, like one who is passing through, not one who lingers and stays and drinks. No, you are not among those who drink from their chalice. For their chalice is filled with heartache, heartbreak and malice beyond malice. No, you do not live there! You do not partake! You are merely travelling through so you can see for yourself their great need for a rescue!

Do you see? I have let you see for yourself. Like a missionary who lives among the people. How can you know the depth of their sorrow if you don't see and taste the tears... if you don't see for yourself how they wallow.

But, I have strategically placed you among 'foreigners'. Like a rich man who acted poor. Poverty is not your true status! But, I have let you taste it for the sake of the poor. The poor in spirit and those who lack. And those who live on crumbs and are never given any slack. And those who work their fingers to the bone, only to discover that there is STILL nothing left after they pay their bills! Do you see? Their joy is gone and they don't know how to reach out to Me! They can not find the tune to My song!

So, don't be discouraged at your current residence. You have been placed there and NOT BY ACCIDENT. So embrace Me and embrace the assignment. Be all in as I teach you how to pray through and help those who need realignment. Rather than complain, reach out with fervor! Reach out to Me! For I Am the Great Deliverer! And I will hear you and answer you and deliver you and your people! I will flood your life and the people, too! "Oh, thank goodness!" they will say, when I bless them through you!
