Look Up: Stars Point The Way to Promise
Abraham..
When Abraham looked up at the stars at night, he was reminded of the prophecy that he would become the Father of nations, even though in the natural, he was without a child.
“Then He brought him outside and said, 'Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you are able to number them. ' And He said to him, 'So shall your descendants be” - Genesis 12:1-3.
Jesus’ birth..
When the Magi were searching in the skies for where the King of the Jews would be born, they looked up to the stars as well to point the way to where Jesus was born (Matthew 2).
Where are YOU looking that will point you in the right direction towards your life?
I want to prophesy over you that it’s time to look up… what does that mean?
Don’t look to the circumstances around you (temporal reality)
Don’t look behind you and be enslaved by your past (not defined by yesterday)
Don’t look at your own ability or limitations (physical or personal boundaries)
Rather, I want you to look at God’s hand, His promises, and His supernatural unlimited power that is available to you this month.
Recalibrate with hope - if there is a place in your life that is not glistening with hope, you are living below God’s thoughts for you!
Live in faith - remember God’s prophetic words over your life, the testimonies of breakthroughs in the past, and imagine God’s supernatural hand blessing you- body, soul, and spirit.
Learn to LOVE - This is why Jesus came to earth and why we celebrate Christmas. His love has NO limits and it is powerful to demolish strongholds and it enables us to love when we are offended or have lost hope or faith. His love raises the dead, brings broken dreams back to life, and gives us creative ways to love those around us.
“Then, you will be empowered to discover what every holy one experiences- the magnitude of the astonishing love of Christ in all it dimensions. How deeply intimate and far-reaching is His love! How enduring and inclusive it is! Endless love beyond measurement that transcends our understanding- this extravagant love pours into you until you are filled to overflowing with the fullness of God.
Never doubt God’s mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination. He will outdo them all, for His miraculous power constantly energizes you!” - Ephesians 3:18-21 TPT
I pray the Lord radically encounters you as you look up toward Him and as you give back to Him through faith your YES to believe in who you have been called to be!
I prophesy that God’s Voice and His Divine Plan will come into place as you look up to Him and trust His Heart above anything else!
