Just as the
Lord Jesus admired the faith of the
centurion,
He is often dismayed as His children shrink
back through lack of faith.
He was outstretched for us
so that we can stretch out the rod of
authority
and decree His word of release
into tightly shut situations.
The dragon hates those who respond in such
faith,
and thrashes them with the scaly horror of
his tail.’
Don’t let his dragon flicks of grief or
wounded pride
push you off course.
From his cave of sad and sorry memories
he bids you lower the scope of your
expectations
and diminish your hope.

Continue to trust when dark clouds surround
His throne.
|
|
|
|
He is still the God who speeds to save His
children,
testing the bonds of all we hold most dear
as we endure beyond the tightening pinch. |
|
|
|
Despite all
abominations that bring desolation,
the Lord is moving things towards the final
consummation;
and when the times have reached their fulfilment,
He will bring all things in Heaven,
and all bridgeheads on Earth,
together under one Head.
