Hello again, my friends!

When God prophetically declared 2018 to be a season of Acceleration, we had no idea what that would look like practically. All we knew was that whatever was about to happen would happen FAST.

We haven’t chatted for a while, so I have no idea whether you’ve been stuck in a difficult place and spinning your wheels to get out, or enjoying a season of ‘Everything just keeps going right for me.’

However, I do know that “This too will come to pass.” Regardless of how you’re experiencing your present season [a time period characterized by a particular circumstance or feature], it doesn’t change the fact that God is GOOD and KIND in the midst of it.

David wrote, “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over” (Psalm 23:5 NKJV).

At times, the intimidating presence of our enemy is a greater reality to us than the Truth and Grace that came through Jesus Christ.

Yes, we understand and believe that we are seated with Christ in heavenly places, FAR above principalities and powers, and the enemy is under our feet. But there are times when we inadvertently give the uninvited enemies of guilt, shame, and condemnation a seat of prominence at our table.

When we focus on the ‘presence of our enemies,’ fear, doubt, and unbelief become choice fare that the enemy dishes up at our table. That’s a nasty meal that only fills us with lack, blame, and offense.

But when He anoints [prospers and fattens] your head [the centre of your thought processes], to the point where your cup [that which holds it together and contains the content] overflows, the abundance of your renewed mind and changed life will impact the lives of those around you.

Don’t you just LOVE the promise that follows inverse 6?“Surely GOODNESS and MERCY shall FOLLOWme all the days of my life; And I will dwell in thehouse of the Lord forever.”

That means I have a stalker… and so do you.In fact, they’re twin stalkers called Mercy andGoodness, and their assignment is to FOLLOW you. In the Hebrew context, it means to ‘run after and HUNT down, to pursue, to chase, to secure.’

In today’s context, it simply means, “He’s gotyou!”

It’s forever, my friend⎯ALL THE DAYS OF YOUR LIFE⎯and the destination is a dwelling place called Home. In His house, forever.

Let’s enjoy the party together!

Much Love, Edna
