"On this mountain the
Lord of host will make for all peoples a feast of rich food, a feast of
well-aged wines, of rich food filled with marrow, of well-aged wines strained
clear. And He will destroy on this mountain the shroud that is cast over all
peoples, the sheet that is spread over all nations; He will swallow up death
forever" (Isaiah 25:6-8).
Mount Juneau overlooks
this capitol city of Alaska, where we've been speaking and ministering the
healing love and power of God for a week among the people here. There's often a
thick covering of cloud embracing the tops of the mountains, with the peaks
stretching up and pressing through. It makes me think of the glory of the Lord
covering this land with Your Presence and promises of what is to
come.
And at the same time,
the enemy of our souls also tries to cover this land, with his shroud of
darkness and death, with discouragement and depression. Sunday morning, You gave
me a vision of encouragement to share with the people. As they lifted their
faces to You in worship and lifted high their hands in praise, their
outstretched arms were like the peaks of the mountains, pushing up through the
enemy's shroud, breaking through and breaking free!
You lead me to declare
these words from Isaiah 25 over them. And also the following verses of assurance
and hope: "Then the Lord will wipe away the tears from all faces, and the
disgrace of His people He will take away from all the earth, for the Lord has
spoken. It will be said on that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for
Him, that He might save us. This is the Lord of whom we have waited; let us be
glad and rejoice in His salvation. For the hand of the Lord will rest on this
mountain" (Isaiah 25:8-10).
Yes, Lord. Let it be so
here in this place and throughout the earth. Stir up Your Spirit of worship and
praise that lifts our spirits, breaks off the darkness, and open ups Your
heavens over our lives. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
Be encouraged today! In
the Love of Jesus, Tommy

we praise God for you and all who cover us in prayer and support us in ministry
