Divine Encounters
Your heart opened as a flower receiving Me.
On the day of salvation you embarked on a grand spiritual journey into destiny.
This, My love, was a Divine Encounter.
During your sojourn upon the earth,
Like Abraham, you are seeking a Heavenly City, whose builder is God.
To be sure, there are landmarks along the way.
Seasons and dates with destiny.
The markers are set times and seasons.
At these junctures heaven and earth intersect.
Jacob’s dream of a heavenly ladder was such a landmark. A set time and place on his journey into God. A divine encounter.
You too, experience crossroads during your
journey, as you progress from place to place,
Landmark to landmark and glory to glory.
To be sure, times of further visitation await.
Yes, there are yet tailor-made divine encounters
ahead, my beloved.
Think now of your own landmarks.
divine encounters.
What was the purpose?
How did you respond?
Where there is a Promise there is a Crown.
The path in between the Promise and the Crown
A fact most profound.
Remember Joseph, who dreamed a dream.
That before him one day,
All would bow down
But in chains and feathers, he found himself bound.
Instead of rulership,
Or a King’s crown.
Into Egypt as a slave he was cruelly sold,
And yet he found strength
Onto his dream to hold
Proving himself in his trial,
Put him back on solid ground,
For excellence promoted,
and over all of Potipher’s household found.
Suddenly, with violence through no fault of his own,
Cast into prison,
Even farther from a throne
Indeed, unto the utmost depths, he fell.
His dream now seemed no more than a hopeless fairytale.
Oh, where was God while he was derailed and distraught?
Nonetheless, he purposed to humble himself,
Though his path with fiery trials was fraught.
Joseph was always found doing right,
Through an excellence spirit
In the midst of affliction,
He waited on God without sin
The promise was given that he might endure the obstacles found in his path.
Just as Jesus endured the cross for the
Joy set before him (Hebrews 12:12)
To be sure, it is a long and winding road that leads us home at last,
And Joseph’s dream did come to pass.
Overcoming in the process though trials, troubles, and tribulation abound.
Remaining faithful to his God during the journey,
between the promise and the crown.
At the altar of divine encounters promises are received.
So remember Joseph’s example that you may prevail.
Like Abraham, do not stagger at the promise because of what lies between.
Fire and flood, a most difficult trial.
But know this: between the promise and Provision
lie 3 T’s…
(Promise)…Testing, Trial, Tribulation…(Provision) = (Crown)
