Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all! It is nearly over, but I wanted to shout out to all the wonderful Mums out there. For those of you who are hurting - just remember that the Lord is not only our Father - He also has a MOTHER'S HEART. He is full of comfort and compassion, and has made a place under His wings for us to hide and find peace - here are 7 things to expect from being under the wings of God - the place of His Mother Heart:

• He loves each one of us – we are the “apple of His eye” the part of the eye that is protected at all costs: "Keep me as the apple of your eye…hide me under the shadow of your wings.”  Psalm 17:8

• He has made a hiding place for us – perfectly hidden from all danger and trouble “…hide me under the shadow of your wings.”  Ps. 17:8

• He draws us close – close enough to be under the shadow Ps. 91:1 “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most HighShall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.”

• He has made a place of refuge for us – a shelter from every degree of storm. "For my soul takes refuge and finds shelter and confidence in you; yes in the shadow of your wings will I take refuge..."  Ps. 57:1; 61:4

• He gives us a new song and perfect joy in this place of safety under His wings. "Because You have been my help, therefore in the shadow of Your wings will I rejoice and sing."  Ps. 63:7.

• He brings miraculous provision and escape for us when we come under His wings. The Children of Israel were carried on His wings through the wilderness – these were days of supernatural provision and great miracles every day. Deut. 32:11

• He has healing in his wings – healing for our body, soul and spirit. "But unto you who revere and worshipfully fear my name shall the sun of righteousness arise with healing in His wings and His beams, and you shall go forth and gambol like calves released from the stall and leap for joy."  Mal. 4:2  (AMP)

Run under His wings and find shelter - this is a place you will easily in prayer.

The Anointing 8

The final ingredient in the holy anointing oil is Olive oil

• A hin (6 pints) of olive oil—the word, here, is charisma, or smearing on. We get the understanding of the anointing from this word. Olive oil also signifies peace, prosperity and wealth. Much is said of its beauty, fruitfulness and usefulness to mankind.

The olive oil was one of the main tree crops of ancient Israel. It was during the month of November that the olives were picked and pressed for oil.

Olive trees can stand for long periods of drought. Olives take two years to mature, and then the fruits ripen slowly. The olives are placed on a grooved stone wheel and another heavier stone is turned over them which is worked by a beam. The pulp is then pressed under weight. The oil runs into stone vats where it is then left for sometime to settle and clear.

This heavy pressing of the olive is a picture of the anointing that comes from our lives when we grow in grace in the midst of difficulties. Even in times of spiritual drought, we can still find the maturity of God's fruit in our lives as we abide in Him. Sometimes our trials may seem like the heavy press that the olive goes through. When we walk through trials correctly and embrace the Lord, an anointing will surely flow.

Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights...
Matthew 4:1-2

The oil from the olives speaks of probation by trial. After Jesus had His time of probation by trial in the wilderness, He came out victorious and started His miraculous ministry. There is a price to pay to carry a high level of anointing. You may lose your reputation by those you consider as friends, and you may even be abandoned by everyone around you. It will seem as if you are living in the wilderness, but you will be able (by God's grace) to stand long periods of drought.

Look at the list of meanings of olive oil in Jesus' life...and now in our lives:

Smearing on; Holy Spirit; Joy; Healing; Favor; Peace; Prosperity; Wealth

Heb. 1:9; Jas 5:14

Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit His whole life Lu. 2:40; 3:22-23; 4:1

How do we find oil in our lives?

Eph. 5:18—Be filled with the Holy Spirit

Matt. 7:7-11—Ask, seek, knock. He gives excellent gifts

Matt. 21:22—Receive (Mk. 11:24)

Jn. 7:37-38—Thirst, come, drink, believe, flow

Now let us get ready for the Holy Spirit to pour out His anointing on us in 2013 - just like the priests of old, He wants His priests today (all Believers are priests - 1Peter 2:5, 9) to  be anointed by the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Ask the Lord for a fresh Charisma or pouring/smearing of the Holy Spirit on your life today!

A verse for today

Isaiah 42:10 ...Sing to the Lord a new song, and His praise from the ends of the earth... 

The Amplified Bible says that this song of praise is a song that has never been heard before in the heathen world! No matter how creative or talented the composers, musicians, and singers, there is no way that any one of them will be able to match the aesthetic beauty of the new song that come from the presence of God. One sound of heaven, touched by the glory of God, will surpass every other musical endeavor yet attempted on this earth. 

Today - sing songs of deliverance and healing over Norway.
