Could Have Been Born

I often think about how I could have been born at any point in history, into any part of the world, into any situation. Could've been the Queen of England, Pocahontas, Joan of Arc, Judas Iscariot...I could've been born in India, a Dalit, the lowest caste; enslaved from birth, treated like a dog or less. I could have been born in Africa, died of aids or starvation or worse. I could've been a child soldier. I could have been born in Thailand, sold by my parents at the age of four and raped by North Americans until I died. I could have been born to alcoholic, abusive parents, ended up on the street...

Could've. But God chose for me to be born now, here in Canada. I am a free woman. A woman living in a country of wealth, privileges and abundant resources. I've got a book to read on anything I could ever want to know. My head is full, my hands have more than they could ever hold; wealth, privilege, resources...responsibility. When God placed us in this great country what did he mean for us to do with all we have been given? Our heads are full, our hands have more than they could ever hold. Unless we give it away it will become a great burden.

Maybe we were meant to rescue. Maybe we were meant to give as though it was all God's in the first place. Maybe we were meant to save, heal and deliver by the power of Jesus.

Why were you born here, at this point in history?

I dreamed last night that I gave birth to a son. There was another woman in my dream who gave birth to a son on the same day. She rejected her son and I received him. I was thrilled to have him. I kept saying, "they are twins". I was glad also to be able to nurse both sons. I named them Justice and Isaiah.

Justice is: making something that is wrong, right again.

Isaiah is an old testament prophet whose name means: God is my salvation. Isaiah prophesied God's judgment over the nation of Israel and that their sin would bring captivity. Isaiah also prophesied God's comfort, forgiveness and restoration.

Isaiah 53: 4Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows...5 He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, by his wounds we are healed. 6 ...the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

Justice

Isaiah prophesied justice. Everything has been made right through the blood of Jesus. We can't reject "Isaiah" and expect justice. God's salvation is our justice.

Lisa Bevere wrote a book called "Nurture". Nurture is : 1. to give tender care and protection. 2. to encourage to grow, develop, thrive and be successful.

"There is a power that comes to woman when they give birth. They don't ask for it, it simply invades them." Sheryl Feldman

As a woman I have the ability to nurture these twins. Along with sons of God on the earth, they will make war.

Women of God you are birthing spiritual sons; sons of war, sons you must nurture. Do not be afraid. Let the power of God invade you. Be purposeful in your words and what choices you make.

"...this is in fact our season to grow, develop, and thrive. Heaven is passionately and purposefully reconnecting with our wounded, war-torn earth and the people who inhabit her. In this season I believe the daughters of God will prove integral agents." Lisa Bevere, Nurture

I prophesy Justice over every inhabitant of the earth in the name of Jesus. The Lord has laid on Jesus the iniquity of us all, so that we may receive justice!
