Let there – A Reflection from Genesis Chapter 1

Let the Birds Fly Genesis 1

Genesis Chapter 1 verse 3 says

3 Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.

God’s first recorded word in the bible is the word “let”. When He said “let there be light”, He was giving permission for light to come forth.

The quantum physics of the 21st century has discovered that at its core all matter is light. Everything we sense in this world is actually made up on tiny sub atomic particles of light! When God spoke, His creative power gave light, that most basic building block of creation, a permission to come forth.

Genesis 1:20 says:

Then God said, “Let the waters teem with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the heavens.”

What a beautiful picture. God, the great creator, speaks the word and releases the newly formed life to be what it is He intended them to be.

Light shines.
Birds fly.

Everything has a function and everything has a place. Why? Because God “let” it.

You and I too are part of that creation and you and I too have a function and place in God’s perfect created order. God created you with a purpose in mind, a life to live, and an assignment to fulfil.

But what’s more than that, it is the living and active Word of the God that once spoken gives you permission to find it and fulfil it. It’s His word that will “let” you be you in Him.

PRAY: When you see a bird flying, naturally and without any stress or strain, remember this. Pray and ask God to lead you to find what He would have you in this world to do. He has a call and purpose for your life. Agree with Him today concerning your place in His perfect created order.

Start 2012 By Hearing From God

2012 has begun!

…but have you begun to put into place the things God is speaking about this year?

Below is the introductory email I have sent out to those who are receiving the 12 Words for 2012. Have a read and tell me what you think below.

—————————

Welcome to 12 Words for 2012!

We are in a new year and we are told that Jesus’ words to us are “Behold, I am making all things NEW!” (Rev 21:5)

The Lord has been speaking to me a NEW word for 2012 out of Luke Chapter 12. I want to share with you what He has been saying to me over the coming days, that it might prepare you for walking in what He has for you this year!

Many people will come to 2012 out of a 2011 that has brought disappointment, stress, loss, hurt, worry, anxiety, sickness and despair. Whilst that may have been your experience in 2012, it need not define your 2012!

What if that was the just the testing, before the testimony? What if the negatives of 2011 are simply the proving ground for your overcoming in 2012. [Read more…] about Start 2012 By Hearing From God

12 Words for 2012

Welcome to a NEW Year!

This morning the Lord Jesus has been speaking to me out of His Word about the coming year 2012. I believe He delights in speaking to us and bringing His perspective into our lives. What a wonderful Father we have!

As He spoke and brought revelation to my heart I was encouraged to write down what He was saying as a guideline for the coming year. I had a time of prayer asking the Lord how He wanted me to apply these things in the coming year. I was moved by deep gratitude as I saw not only the challenge ahead, but also the Grace that He has given us to enable us to fulfil His plans in our lives.

Part of that challenge the Lord laid before me was to share part of this Word for 2012 with you.

I believe it is a Word that is going to bring release, breakthrough and greater alignment in my life to His purposes for me and my family. I am expecting a shift and change in certain areas of my life in 2012. I am determined to let His Word and promises fuel my prayer life in 2012 like never before.
