With our move to Devon imminent I have been worried about whether this is Gods timing or ours. The Lord spoke to me quite powerfully today. He reminded me about Adam and Eve and showed me the most fundamental things for us all is: (1) A place to live (2) A job (3) A walk with Him (4) Family.

This desire to go NOW is from Him. He gives us the desires of our heart, he gives us desires and we go for them. I have often said, God has always provided a home and jobs for us. Well that is what He is about for each of us, that is our basic need and He will provide it.

Often at night I get restless and just want to go for a walk. The thing I am looking forward to most when we move is being able to have a scenic walk at night. Why am I surprised that I want to walk at night? What do we see in Genesis? God walking with Adam and Eve in the cool of the day, evening. This again is the most fundamental thing for us, to have our walk, our relationship with Him at night. After a long day at work, having had our family time, we then walk with God and talk to Him about what has happened in our day. What concerns we may have.

When God put me on this earth He prepared a home for me, as I got older He has prepared jobs for me, and He has always given us homes. Each home providing exactly what we have needed for that time. Why would He change now? He would not, because the Bible tells me He is an unchanging God. Somewhere, right now in Devon, a house is being prepared. Either being built, or the family in it are getting ready to move on too.

This brings me to family, another major thing with the Lord. The Bible says He places us in family. In today's society family is breaking up, as Christians I want to show that family is important to us. We seem to be asking for a tall order, a 4 bed house so we can all move in together, but because I know this is in Gods heart I believe that He will provide.

The Lord spoke to me today about RESTORATION, and I know that He says, 'I WILL RESTORE TO YOU ALL THAT YOU HAVE LOST'. I feel that along the way I have lost my calling in the church. I have allowed others jealousy, spitefulness etc to rob me of this and I have not fought for it. I am seeking God about healing from this and strength to fight for my rightful place in the church. Meanwhile, the Lord impressed the word upon my heart for a different reason. RESTORATION of children, one that is far away from me and grandchildren that are far from the Lord having once made strong commitments.

I am going to say to the Lord, 'I will not let you go until you bless me'. In other words I will not give up waiting for promises to be fulfilled.

God bless you and if anything I have said has touched you let me know.
