Crossing Over the River
The LORD’s way is the right way!
Boldness and confidence will come to you when you come to realize the faithfulness of The LORD has been carrying you all this time.
Seeing His Hand working in your behalf, is undergirding your steps over the rivers you cross, and the chasms you come upon.
There is a way to get to the other side of them. Elijah was the first to strike the waters to cross the Jordan.
When Elisha received the Mantle of Elijah, receiving the double portion of The Spirit, he stuck the waters saying, “Where is the God of Elijah?’
Then he crossed over on dry land. That was the only way he would cross, with the power of God.
Elisha fervently followed after Elijah, because he wanted the double portion of what Elijah had. Elijah told him, “If you see me being carried away, then you will have what you are asking for”.
In Jeremiah, The LORD said, “What do you see, Jeremiah?”
Jeremiah answered, “I see a rod of an almond tree, blossoming.”
“You have seen well Jeremiah. I will hasten My Word to perform it,” said The LORD.
The LORD is saying, “Call upon Me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things that you know not.”
He has been with you, and carrying and directing you in such a way that your only recourse is to call upon Him.
The LORD greatly desires this of you. He will show you how, He will show you where, and He will show when you have come to the place that you can effectively make your move in The Spirit.
Therefore, trust in The LORD with all your heart, and lean not upon your own understanding — but acknowledge Him in everything you are doing, and He will direct your path.
The steps of a good man are ordered by The LORD, and He takes great delight in doing this.
