He said if we do not do this He will bring a curse upon the earth!! He means it friends. He wants love expressed in family groups-community restoration.

One day I was horrified. I saw a garden snake. It had just gripped a bird attempting to fly the nest yet it failed. It grabbed the bird, sitting on the ground, by the head into its jaws.. but I saved it…The flying of the nest is a hinge event. I think we are going through this as believers today. People feel lost, attacked, abandoned…This is what favor looks and feels like-peril then power.

As I sat down on the plane, in what seemed like an uneventful day, I heard the very quiet voice of God say, “There is an angel on the airplane.” It is easy to ignore God’s voice, normally quiet and still. He often insults our intelligence and our worldview. Yet, I listened this time.

Expect more from God. That is the message from God today.
He is God. He is awesome, powerful and majestic, yet loving, gentle and kind beyond words. Ask Him for things but also expect them. As you get to know him, you will know what He might not give that you ask for and what He will give. Dare to believe God for something really big, especially if you sense His favor, His desire for it. It was once said, “If you sense the favor of God, go for the jugular.”

Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.
Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.  If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. ~John 14:11-14 …

If I want to praise my wife I do not usually say, “Praise the wife.” I will usually say something I love about her. That is true for praising anyone with whom I have relationship. “I really love how you look today” or “You are an excellent writer, one of the best.” How about simply say, “You are so beautiful!” How about “you light up the room when you enter. We would all miss something if you were not here.” Or maybe, “You are a great observer and listener. That is so important to real friendship.”

Like the growth of a hardwood tree that bears nuts, hundreds of pounds of rich nutritious food, sometimes healing of a heart takes time. Yet the time gives a structure that does not need support: there is inner strength that makes it stand alone like a tree planted by a river!
