Who’s Your Daddy?

Authors in both the old covenant and new testament used a variety of phrases and names to attempt to translate the diversity of God’s character into terms we could relate to, culturally and socially; Johovah Jireh, God Our Provider. El Elyon, God Most High. Paraclete, Comforter.

But as a spirit being, you already know God fully as He is. As we are healed, and learn to walk in greater understanding and freedom, that spiritual knowledge becomes more and more accessible to our mind, will and emotions and even our natural senses. The more we cooperate with Him, and rest in Him, the more we let Him fill the character needs we rely on others to fill in our lives – lover, planner, truth-teller. We all need as well a good and faithful father, older brother and guidance counselor.

Ask now if there is any area where He is prevented from relating to you as He chooses. If the answer is Yes, test the source (Is that you, Lord). If Yes, ask for specifics, and ask what you need to do or what lies you are believing that need to be addressed so He can be free to present Himself to your entire being any way He chooses. If No, identify the source of the obstruction and deal with it as He directs until He assures you He has freedom in your life. If He responds No, no problems here! Just say Thanks, Dad, and enjoy your day.

2007: What a Wonderful Season We Have Ahead of Us!

Like many I’ve asked the Lord what this upcoming season has in store for us here on good ol’ planet Earth. He showed me a beautiful glass building, unusually shaped, set in the midst of a mountainside, evergreen forest next to a clear quickly-running stream. There was no hardware anywhere — everything was absolutely clear, though I also knew the glass was impenetrable and shatterproof. I knew it was a newly completed Library.

We went inside, and He took me to a bank of card files that filled one entire wall. He opened a drawer, and I expected to see index cards, the kind that include the author, title and location of each book. Instead, the drawer was empty. I looked at the entire wall of drawers; I could see they were all empty. Then I noticed that all the shelves were empty as well. Not a book to be seen, yet I knew this was a library.

I then knew that what the Lord is going to do in us and through us is so unrelated to anything He’s done before we will have no reference for it; He doesn’t want us looking to the past to understand the present or prepare for the future. The books that will go in this library haven’t been written yet! We’re starting fresh.

Though the deeds that will be recorded in these books were established before time was created, their expression will be manifested on earth in this coming season. Nothing can compare… More on this as Daddy permits…

We have much to do, and there will be much opposition, and many mistakes and mishaps, but this is going to be — amazing!!!

Welcome

Welcome to Prepare, a blog for Dianne Thomas Ministries

Our purpose for this blog is to share with others what God has shared with us, especially regarding how to fulfill God’s three-fold purpose for us today:

1. To Be Fully Healed and Made Whole in Spirit, Soul and Body
2. To Cooperate with God as He exposes our Flesh, and Consumes It
3. To Know God Intimately on His Terms, Spirit to Spirit

We all need to be able to experientially recognize, test and act on what the Spirit is saying to us as individuals, so much of what we will be addressing on this blog and through the call-in internet radio program will be geared toward building confidence in our ability to hear His voice through practical exercises and conversation. We will be discussing a wide range of topics, from relationships, finances and politics to entertainment, fashion and humor, as real world examples of how we can know God’s voice in every situation.

Our approach to fulfilling the above purposes is likely different from what you have encountered elsewhere. The three books in “The Eternal Life Series”: Practical Christianity, Getting Healed & Knowing God, were written as a foundation for an on-going discussion of the simplicity of knowing God now. We will be building upon what is written in these books, so it is helpful to be familiar with their contents. If you have not been receiving the newsletters, or need a refresher, the books can be purchased here or under Resources above.

We continue to look for ways to use every available venue as the Lord directs. The Prepare blog is just one aspect of the fulfillment of His present direction. Future plans for expanding our outreach will be posted here and through “A Bit of Grace” Newsletter. If you have not already signed up for the newsletter you can do so here. We will also be installing FeedBurner on this site, so that entries can be automatically emailed to subscribers on a daily basis. “A Bit of Grace” Newsletters will also be posted on this blog.

Healing

We fully expect the Lord to heal both physically and emotionally through this ministry. For all of our sakes, we have arranged with the Lord that He will never ask for a “test of faith” in order to receive a healing. This is especially true in the area of seeking or sustaining medical supervision or medications. Instead we will together seek His direction in conjunction with whatever medical supervision is being given in order to achieve His desired outcome.
