| Each and every day, God simply astonishes me. His Word Brings life, eternal life. Let us Serve Him, Honor Him, Praise Him and Worship Him. I thank Him for the time he spends with me, and I thank Him when He calls, and thank The Holy Spirit for reaching out. It is during these moments, that God glory burns away our physical realm, leaving the Spirit inside us. It is at this moment that His Word, His Will is shared with us. I have been struggling with words. Words, which were spoken during New Year's Eve about the importance of Standing on God's Word, submitting to God's plan and resisting the urge to "fix things" our way. The lesson of not standing and holding onto God's Word and promise was allowing the enemy to pilferage and steal God's abundant gifts. This was an expensive and painful lesson indeed. |

| The Spirit showed me Battle Standards fluttering in the wind. For these are God's Victory Proclamation Banners. God is proclaiming that this land is HIS creation. The banner will rally His children together. During the past year, many have said that God is gathering His children. We have seen His musicians hearing His call. They have gathered and still are gathering. They are waiting to give the joyous shout, the unleashing of bold harmonies, crescendos of musical instruments to drive fear into the enemies of our Lord and disperse them. Now, God is calling out to His Standard Bearers to answer His call. For at one time, they stood tall, full of honor, graced by God. Deceived by the enemy, many lay scattered through the land. Believing the enemies lies, they may have hardened their hearts, lost their faith, believe that God has forsaken them or believe that they are unworthy. These Battle Standards and others will serve as the visual and spiritual stimulus to reawaken their hearts and open their minds to Jesus Christ, Their true Lord and their saviour. When they accept Jesus again, they will become reborn in all His Glory; spotless and clean. They will pick themselves up, shake off the dust, clean the spots and iron out the wrinkles and once again become God's Standard Bearers. For it is not only The Battle Standards themselves which proclaims God's victory, it is our lives in Christ which serve as God's victorious Battle Standards. Yes, God is gathering His children. The musicians are gathering, the Standard Bearers are assembling. His children are being refreshed and strengthened His army is preparing. |
