HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Hey there Dan...A very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you!!! I just find the origins of names interesting and why things are called a called name...Like the month of JUNE for example....It is named after the Roman goddess Juno (Greek goddess Hera). They believed it was the best month for marriage, (even I was married in June unknowing...lol...) ...Juno being the goddess of marriage. This is because there are a lot of rainbows in the month of June and the goddess of rainbows was Iris, Junos messenger who was always with her. Rainbows have always been a fascination to us because of their beauty and their Biblical significance...Even on youtube they have this guy out in the woods who is fascinated after seeing "Double Rainbow" ...lol...( It is a very funny video if you havent seen it yet)...It has received over 2 million hits! ( you may find yourself laughing and crying at the same time listening to this guy!
Not only today but even back then rainbows were such a splendid sight....and because at the time of the writing of Noah's Deluge, the rainbow was an awesome sight and the people then were ignorant on how it materializes. Of course now we know that the rainbow is caused by light refraction from moisture (rain, mist).
Rainbows are also symbolic of the covenant.
We don't know why He used the rainbow but it makes sense because you can't have a rainbow without water, and the connection with the flood is then obvious. It is to serve as a reminder of the deluge. It is a reminder of the covenant, not the covenant itself. God used his own invention - the refraction of light - for this purpose, as He is well able to do. Even though we know what causes it in this day and age, the rainbow is still a thing of beauty and promise to many, not at all diminished by the physics of how it occurs.
So what has this got to do with you, you ask...It's a word in GOD"S SEASON for you...God is about grow you to new levels...(Top of the rainbow experiences...and plant your feet firmly on the Rock in all it's beauty and splendor!...He is about "to ADD and ELEVATE your thinking to NEW RAINBOW HEIGHTS and purpose...He wants to plant and expand new doors accross the skies for you...NEW colorful horizons... Most recognized as the season when trees and flowers begin to strecth, grow and showcase their colorful beauty and splendor too during this season...they manifest thel full glory!!!...This is what is about to happen to your thinking!! EXPECT to be stretched from God's manifest glory to glory during this season and allow God to showcase His colorful grace upon...He about to set your feet into some "BIG SHOES"...lol...I am glad our Abba carries your size too:)) THIS IS YOUR SEASON to climb to these NEW HEIGHTS!!!
Biblical: MIND RENEWED Defined: To change the way you think... Bringing every small thinking into obedience and SET your mind on things ABOVE...(like looking at the peak of a rainbow)...and develop and reach NEW levels of thinking, to increase your thinking in the WORD, to become greater (specifically regarding inward God given purpose and call character shaping) What an awesome God given Birthday gift that it will be,,,Every good and perfect gift comes from God above and from the our Father!....and so to is growth and increase...it is a gift from GOD!!
There are TWO very important days in our life... #1 the day YOU were BORN...
#2 The DAY you found out WHY you were born...
It is said .."Life is ten percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you respond to it." How you are going to respond to what God is about to do in your life now with major opportunities of increase in your life ...Your response will determine the outcome... God is now waiting for you to walk in His abundance of provision and peace amidst the storm...He will give you the wisdom and strength to respond adequately!! Call unto Him and He will answer and show you...He will cause th sun to beam through the storm and it is then that you will see those "rainbows"... That He prepared for you in the middle of that storm...in the presence of your enemies!!!
Though thy beginning is small yet your latter end shall greatly increase... Job 8:7...
God has seen and brought you through all your tough "small " beginnings of hardship and at times you may even have felt disenfranchised...The "pruning process" may have left you feeling misused...I have been there...Or maybe you felt it is "too late" or what's the use trying... and fell like you have lost the most important things that count in the natural...your joy and that has taken your strength...LOOK UP ...your redemption has drawn near>>>THIS IS YOUR SEASON of Him taking you to the top peak of the rainbow!!!! Only if you will let HIM? The pruning process is over...the season has changed...He is wanting to remind you of His covenant!! Those obstacles will now be an opportunity and a launching pad for new heights ...and this season will be your bridge to that new opportunity!!!
Your God given call and purpose is NOT misplaced (even though you may feel like that at times) The Lord your GOD ESTABLISH HIS COVENANT through you and ESTABLISH you in your rightful place and purpose...During this ELEVATION season...DO NOT be weary in well doing for YOU WILL REAP if you faint not! Keep climbing...Keep renewing the mind to God's purpose!
You are born on a very significant month and time,,,,WOW JUNE...YOU may NOT have been MEANT TO BE THE FOR RUNNER of our time ..But God has called you to showcase HIS glory and SPLENDOR through... He wants to lavish you with His loving...kindness!!!...blazing "new height...new doors...promotions"...You are THE TOP PICK to be promoted His glory and beauty through!!!! Hand picked by the CREATOR for such a time as this NEW INCREASE and EXPANDED OPORTUNITIES!!! To refresh us with your God given call and purpose...
Happy Birthday from your brother in the Lord...your birthday is not a destination but a journey, it is a reminder that you where born for such a time as this! You were born for greatness and to reveal the grace and glory of our GOD!!
Your dreams are about to be expanded and stretched and seen accross the skies...into new heights from humble small beginnings!!
Every year that passes is another stepping stone to greatness...You were born for a Divine God given plan and purpose...Dare to be all that God has called you to be, Dare to have all what God has called you to have and dare to do ALL what God has called you to DO!!!
