Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus,

I praise Abba Father with a grateful heart for His mighty movements in my life and the blood of Jesus that rendered every work of God in my life intensely personal. Why? Because Abba Father desires that I may “. . . know and understand the hope to which He has called me and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints (His set-apart ones); And [so that I can know and understand] what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us who believe . . .” Ephesians 1:18-19 (AMP). Why? Because Abba Father desires that you and I succeed in “bricking” His Kingdom of Light on earth. No loving Father sets His sons and daughters up to fail in the very thing sent to accomplish; and we may know that Abba Father is Love. “God doesn’t just have love, He is love . . .” (Kenneth Copeland). Therefore, it is true unto us according to 2 Peter 1:3 and 1 Timothy 6:17.

Whenever, I think about my right standing as a daughter of the LORD God Almighty – the very personal plan of Abba Father from the beginning of time; and the reality of His faithfulness in that you and I would have a choice between life & blessings or death & curses; and Himself coming (in the flesh) through the birth, life (and/or ministry), death, resurrection from the dead, and seating at His (own) right hand of Jesus the Christ, I want to sing praises in the midst of Him. The psalmists (none more audacious than King David) tells us about entering into the presence of God with thanksgiving, entering God’s court with praise. Of course, those terms are for a visual representation in this natural realm because relative to the spiritual realm (which is far more “real” than the natural realm because every manifestation began and begins in the spiritual realm by speak) God is ever present on a very personal level. More specifically, we in Christ Jesus and He in us and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. This visual is akin to a euphemism, for we may know by the WORD that God is always with us; God said that He would never leave nor forsake us and His WORD never returns void. Therefore, as it is written for singing: “I will bless the LORD (forever); His praise will continually be in my mouth.” Psalm 34:1 KJV & NKJV.

(see Deuteronomy 30:15,19; 1Pe 1:18-21; Romans 8:29-30; 1Jn 4:8,16; Psalm 100:4; Deuteronomy 31:6,8; Joshua 1:5; Hebrews 13:5; Isaiah 55:10-11).

Speak the promise . . . Harriet
