“As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
So the LORD surrounds His people.” Psalm 125:5
Yep, that’s the verse.
In 2010, as I was driving to work,
Meditating on these words,
the Lord invite me to Jerusalem.
My heart skipped a beat with excitement.
But, after the initial burst of joy,
my mind took over, and
Fear set in!
It was too late,
the Scripture had dropped down into my heart,
And I knew,
that I knew,
I was going to Israel.

Coming up with a million and one reasons why
It was not possible for me to go to Israel.
One morning in prayer,
I cried out to the Lord,
Softly, He spoke to my spirit in His Word.

“As one whom his mother comforts,
So I will comfort you;
You will be comforted in Jerusalem.” Isaiah 66:13
“Lord, but what happens when I am in the middle
Of the 9000 mile journey,
in the air,
and the evil one whispers in my ear,
“you made a mistake…you heard wrong…”
His gentleness,
He reminded me of Jesus’ answer
when the ol’ snake attempted to do
the same to Him.
Jesus spoke,
“It is written…”

So it began…I bought the most comfy fabric

“Thinking I will write the words.”
But the pen didn’t work very well on fleece.
So I started to stitch the words.
With each stitch,
the Words began
To be engraved in my heart.
And from His faithfulness and Promises,
My “Comfort” blanket became alive with
Peace and hope.

May I share a few verses…
When I asked, “Why do You want me to go?”

When I asked, “What will I see?”

When I reminded Him, yet again, of all my responsibilities.

When I asked how I was going to afford to go on a trip like this?

But I’m scared…

And when my heart began to believe…

And the last verse stitched before I left

In His Faithfulness and

Stepping out on the Comfort of His Word,
my life changed forever.

I pray you too have been blessed by His Faithfulness!
May God bless you,
denise
So beautiful… every verse of the way! 🙂 ♥ ❤

Will pray His healing touch upon your body and lungs. Especially in this coming week, you would receive complete healing, wholeness and restoration in Jesus Mighty Name! Amen! “This is My body, this is My blood” broken for your healing. By His stripes you are healed! Isaiah 53:5. I even gargle with salt water and claim the “salt covenant”. May sound ” naturally ” crazy, but His ways and words are not ours. Isaiah 55:8. Go in Peace, health, wholeness, well-being. God bless sister:)

Amen Barb! I am believing with you to glorify Him!! Stepping into the week of Jesus Passion…the anointing flows! May I suggest, to read all the “miracles” Jesus performed to fan the fire of your faith. And/or the Book of John. The Book Jesus raised Lazarath! He never left anyone without blessing them in what they needed. Grace. “The Law was “given” by Moses, but grace and truth “came” by Jesus Christ” John 1:17. Jesus came personally to save us:) He didn’t “send” someone else to do what only He could do! Immanuel… He is all about new life!! Continued prayers sister! Jesus is lighting your way! Amen, Amen!
