In the wondering... from ruth Alexander on Vimeo.
The week's deadline had started. I was getting nervous and the peace was leaving. This time next week is a big day in this whole process.
I messaged my friend and asked her if she would consider coming with me, mentioning that I was nervous. The next day I woke up to a message from her, that contained what I call a 'slap around the face'. It was so good and just what I needed. She reminded me that I am a daughter of the high king, and that I don't have to walk in the nerves and let the enemy steal my peace. It allowed me to shift out of that place, and into the knowledge that I am held by my Heavenly father.
I get to live solely in His word and truth.
She is going to come with me, and so is Jesus.
His word is enough.
11 All at once an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing just to the right of the altar of incense. 12 Zechariah was startled and overwhelmed with fear. 13 But the angel reassured him, saying, “Don’t be afraid, Zechariah! God is showing grace to you. For I have come to tell you that your prayer for a child has been answered. Your wife, Elizabeth, will bear you a son and you are to name him John. 14 His birth will bring you much joy and gladness. Many will rejoice because of him. 15 He will be one of the great ones in the sight of God. He will drink no wine or strong drink, but he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even while still in his mother’s womb. 16 And he will persuade many in Israel to convert and turn back to the Lord their God. 17 He will go before the Lord as a forerunner, with the same power and anointing as Elijah the prophet. He will be instrumental in turning the hearts of the fathers in tenderness back to their children and the hearts of the disobedient back to the wisdom of their righteous fathers. And he will prepare a united people who are ready for the Lord’s appearing.”
18 Zechariah asked the angel, “How do you expect me to believe this? I’m an old man and my wife is too old to give me a child. What sign can you give me to prove this will happen?”
19 Then the angel said, “I am Gabriel. I stand beside God himself. He has sent me to announce to you this good news. 20 But now, since you did not believe my words, you will be stricken silent and unable to speak until the day my words have been fulfilled at their appointed time and a child is born to you. That will be your sign!” Luke 1v11-20
