...And He said, "My presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest..." Exodus 33:14 NIV

As I was in the break room of the office I begin to think about the Goodness of God and His Godness... As I was pouring hot water into my Styrofoam cup this came to my spirit man, I was thinking about if I should grab more than one tea bag even though I was only planning on drinking one cup to soothe me through getting over a drastic sinus infection Monday. The Hurricane did not just affect the atmosphere of the earth but also the atmosphere of my nostril walls and sinus'. As I contemplated if I was going to take more than one bag, I had a question that came to me, "Why do people always grab more than what is need?, and immediate the spirit of God in me answered, 'Because they are poor.

They are so used to not having enough their survival mechanism that I have placed in them kicks in habitually.' He said that is one of the things the children of Israel struggled with, only having just enough with Pharaoh ,because they mention shall we die here; we shall return to Egypt were we least can eat. (Paraphrased: at least out basic needs were meet.)

Also, the Lord reminded me of the children of when they were instructed of the Lord to only grab what is need for their labor less day and beyond God's instruction the disobediently took more than they needed any how for rainy days. They were so used to not having enough, they were so used to just living day to day, penny to penny and check to check. So when the provision came the indulge. Even in the western hemisphere, were we are in one of the greatest nations that God has ever founded, yet when we know lack so long our survival mechanism when sees the opportunity indulges. Look at Catrina and any traumatic disaster that has taken place here in these here USA 4-corners. Anyway God's spirit ministered to my spirit and said just as I was trying to get the children of Israel to move out the bondage of ritualistic habits and patterns so it is to those that I have called/calling into the kingdom.

To move beyond their circumstances to move beyond their old immoral mentality and begin to realize the Source of their resources and know there is not a hair that falls to the ground that God has not number. He is mindful of us and will not suffer our need to go unfulfilled.God is just waiting for us to EXHALE, exhale from our power, exhale from our strength, exhale from our wisdom, exhale from our knowledge and understanding. Word for you is REST IN GOD AND JUST EXHALE....

(Try it now: Breath in, breath out and EXHALE...)

Love you to life;
Prophetess L.M. Elias
