He Will Work Signs and Wonders On Your Behalf
Kathi Pelton

I think that there are times that we forget that God still works signs and wonders. We can get so caught up in the natural and earthly things that we forget the power of the supernatural God that we serve.

BUT HE STILL WORKS SIGNS AND WONDERS ON OUR BEHALF!

We must remind our souls that in the same way that God worked signs and wonders on behalf of the men and women in the Bible— he has not changed in our days and times.

“He delivers and rescues; he works signs and wonders in heaven and on earth, he who has saved Daniel from the power of lions.” Daniel 6:27

Throughout our lives there are times where each one of us need to be delivered and rescued. We have an enemy that seeks to steal, kill and destroy (John 10:10a) but the enemy’s power to bring destruction does not compare with God’s power to deliver and rescue us from evil. He delivered Daniel from the power of lions, he delivered David from the power of lions and he will deliver you and I from the powers that are greater than us.

There are also many times in our lives that we need some real signs and wonders to occur to bring the breakthrough that we need. Do not shy away from asking for and believing that God will work both signs and wonders on your behalf. I have seen them, I have experienced them and I still stand in awe that he works on my behalf so powerfully.

One of the first signs and wonders that I ever experienced was when I was 20 years old. I was newly married and my husband and I moved across the country from our home in California to attend Bible college. We spent every cent we had to get there and to secure an apartment, pay tuition and travel cross-country. When we arrived it was mid-summer and the weather was over 100° and extremely humid. But we had forgotten to pay to have the electricity turned on in our apartment and we were completely out of money.

After a hot and miserable first night in our new apartment with no lights and no air conditioning we got ready to go to our first Sunday service at our new church. This was a very large church and one of the side walls was all glass so that you could see outside. During the worship portion of the service my young husband was at the altar on his knees praying for God to help us. I remained in my seat and was looking out at the scenery through this wall of glass. While I was looking out I noticed an old man with white hair walking outside. The strange part that caught my attention was that this man was wearing a trench coat! I couldn’t believe that anyone would wear a coat in such extreme heat. My eyes kept watch on him until I could no longer see him.

Then, much to my surprise I saw this white haired man in the trench coat coming down the church aisle and when he reached my row he walked down it and stopped when he got to me. Then he said, “This is for you.” And he handed me the exact amount of money that we needed to turn on our electricity! He then turned around, exited the row, walked back toward the church door and left the building. I quickly turned to see him through the wall of glass windows but he was nowhere to be seen— he just disappeared!

I have absolutely no doubt that he was an angel that the Lord sent to rescue us and to do a sign and wonder on our behalf. This was our first miracle on our journey as a married couple but it surely would not be our last.

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!” Matthew 7:7-11

We asked and he brought us exactly what we needed. Your Father in heaven wants you to ask for help, to ask for signs and to ask for wonders that leave you with good gifts— and leave you in awe!

It is time to not only ask, seek and knock but to expect that he will answer you with what you need. He will not give you a stone when you ask for bread or a snake when you ask for fish. HE IS GOOD!

The young 20 year old who sat in the church that day, not knowing what we were going to do, had no idea that his answer was going to come in the form of an angle handing me exactly what we needed but God wanted me to know (without any doubt) that the gift and the answer came from him alone.

That moment carried me through many moments in my future where I would need God’s supernatural help— and it always came.

His message for you today is this: HE STILL WORKS SIGNS AND WONDERS ON YOUR BEHALF!

“Before I Formed You, I Knew You" Kathi Pelton

I recently went through a six-month experience of healing and spiritual restoration after experiencing a traumatic situation. Though this article is not about the trauma or the situation, it is about an amazing truth that came out of this very painful time.

What Looks Like Loss May Just Become Your Double Portion
Kathi Pelton

I love how the Lord is able to turn situations, that appear in the natural to be sure loss, and turn them into a double portion blessing for those who have put their hope in him.

My husband and I have experienced this more times than we can count throughout our lives. This has been especially true when we have followed his leading and obeyed his voice to walk into new territory or to leave a place that had been fruitful.

“Return to your fortress, you prisoners of hope; even now I announce that I will restore twice as much to you.”
Zachariah 9:12

Though this verse is taken a “bit out of context” regarding a promise of double— the Lord highlighted it today for those of you who might be facing a unknown future by leaving something meaningful or valued behind to follow him.

Though this is a very small example— it still serves as a good example:

Ten years ago my husband and I were in a car accident that destroyed our family vehicle. We knew that the insurance payout would not even come close to replacing the vehicle that we lost. We were pretty discouraged at the prospects of vehicles that we were looking at. But, two days later we received a call from a couple that lived in another state. We had only met this couple one time but we had an instant connection with them. They called us to let us know that two weeks earlier (prior to our car accident) the Lord had spoken to them and asked them to give us an almost brand new vehicle! This vehicle was nicer than any car we had ever owned— so much nicer than the one we lost.

That week they drove our new car to us and we were absolutely overwhelmed with God’s intentional love and generosity to us. Not only that— now the insurance money from our totaled car was ours to spend elsewhere. It ended up to be a far greater than double portion restoration.

Even though that story is merely about a vehicle, it is an amazing example of how God provides when we run to him as our fortress and hope.

You may be facing something far greater than the loss of a car. Possibly a change of location or vocation? Whatever the Lord has asked you to do— even if it looks like walking away from something you love— he is able and willing to restore double to you.

One last example:

Many years ago our family bought our dream home. It was a brand new home across from a park that we loved. It had a beautiful wrap around porch and a gourmet kitchen. We loved this house so much and we had worked hard to be able to purchase it. After less than a year of living there we received an opportunity to move to another country to direct a house of prayer. Quite honestly— we did not want to take this opportunity! But the Lord made it clear to us that this was his will and a door he was opening for us. We would be walking away from our dream home and a great job— and with no equity in the home (so we’d take a loss on the sale).

After a few weeks of prayer and wrestling with the thought of this sacrifice, we finally made the decision to say yes. It meant leaving our dream home, our extended families, our jobs, our church (of almost 20 years) and all that we loved. It surely looked like a lot of loss but to follow God’s leading.

When we arrived in the new country our family of six moved into a one bedroom basement suite with only a sink and a microwave for a kitchen. We had no secure income or financial support but we made the Lord our fortress and our hope— knowing that he is good and faithful to his children. Within a couple of years our family was given a massive 5000 square foot house that had more bedrooms than we needed and the most magnificent view imaginable to live in for the duration of our time in that country! It was more than double what we had left behind.

No matter what you are facing or what it looks like to follow his leading— make the Lord your fortress and hope as you move forward. He is able to turn what looks like sure loss into not only gain but DOUBLE.

Take heart, have hope, be courageous and then watch what the Lord will do!

The Yes That Says, “Be it unto me according to your will.”
Kathi Pelton

Sometimes your “Yes” to Jesus comes with great excitement and joy but other times your “Yes” comes with the sober awareness of sacrifice and cost. But it is then that it is accompanied by the awareness and posture that cries out, “Jesus, you are worthy of it all!”

These beautiful and sobering times remind me of Mary, a teenager being visited by the angel of the Lord who announced that the Holy Spirit would cause her to conceive a child, the Messiah. She had to be keenly aware of at least some of the cost: reputation, misunderstanding, accusations and so much more. Yet, in that moment of being chosen her response was this,

“And Mary said, “Behold, the bondslave of the Lord; may it be done to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.” Luke ‭1:38‬

“Be it unto me according to your word.” Those words have become the deepest cry of my life. I would pray them in the days of my youth with little understanding of the weight that they carried— or the privilege and cost they would extract. Though I’d never change that innocent response of the youthful me, today when I pray it I understand the weight of taking up my cross and following him.

The beauty has far outweighed the cost and we choose not to count the cost but rather to count it all joy! He is so worth it all and making his worth known throughout the earth is what we live for. To see Jesus receive His full inheritance is our greatest joy. He gave his all so how can we give any less; even in the moments that our whispered yes has the fragrance of sacrifice upon it?

I believe every yes is a pleasing offering to him but the yes that is accompanied by tears and an awareness of truly having to let go of your will to receive his, is especially beautiful to him.

If you are in a YES moment— either for the first time or you’ve lost count because you have made this your lifestyle, then remember that the only regret you will ever have at the end of your life will be the time you held anything back from him. Your ALL is the only offering that is fitting for the God who gave his ALL.

When the Lord visits you (like young Mary), because he has chosen you, respond with the only words that are fitting, “Be it unto me according to your word.” If tears and sacrifice accompany your response then know that your words are like the costly perfume in the alabaster jar poured over his feet once again. The fragrance of your yes fills the room
and brings such joy to his heart.

Let us always say yes...

The Sound of Silence
Kathi Pelton

Did you know that silence has a sound that heaven hears?

People are often uncomfortable with silence, especially within the context of a corporate setting or with another person present. Yet, the people that you can sit in silence with are usually the most intimate people in your life. And, if that is the case— why are we so uncomfortable with silence in prayer, silence in worship or silence in church?

Silence has a sound…

The sound of silence is the sound of pouring out your surrender. Just as occurs with the pouring out of perfume— it has no audible sound and yet the fragrance fills the room and immerses all in its beauty.

Silence is a response to awe. It is the sound of the fear of the Lord; of reverence and awe. It stops every act of striving and frantic activity to yield to the posture of fully trusting God. Silence before the Lord is to be still and acknowledge that he alone is God.

Silence makes room! It makes for heaven to touch earth; and earth is his footstool. When do we use a footstool? When we enter a resting posture— therefore if earth is his footstool, we are designed to be a resting place for the Lord. Silence is the sound of rest.

This is what the LORD says:
“Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Where is the house that you would build for me, and where will my resting place be? All these things my hand has made, and so all these things came into being,”declares the LORD. “But this is the one to whom I will look favorably: to the one who is humble and contrite in spirit, and who trembles at my message.” Isaiah 66:1-2

Silence trembles at his Word and takes a posture of a humble and contrite spirit. Silent trust makes a resting place for our hearts and his heart that beats within us. It is the sound of intimate communion with him.

Isaiah 66 goes on to talk about a loud noise and that sound is the sound of God’s retribution,

“Listen to that uproar in the city!
Listen to that noise from the Temple!
It is the sound of the LORD paying back retribution to his enemies!” Isaiah 66:6

We can be silent and know that he will pay back retribution to his enemies— and our enemies.

Silence is also the peaceful expression of a child nursing at his mother’s breast. It nourishes, it comforts, it rests and receives life. Our prayers and our time spent with the Lord should include expressions of this posture. He desires to comfort us and nourish us with living water.

Do not shy away from silence with the Lord. It is the highest form of trust. Often the loudest prayers come from the most fearful people— those who are afraid that God does not hear and will not act. The enemy hates our quieted souls that fully trust and depend upon the God of all creation. For it is there that room is made for God to move.

Practice the art of silence— it is active trust, active faith, and active surrender to his power. Just as there are times for a joyful noise unto the Lord— there are times when we allow the spiritual sound of silence to release its fragrance.

“For God alone my soul in silence waits.” Psalm 62:1

Before I Formed You, I Knew You
Kathi Pelton

I recently went through a six month experience of healing and spiritual restoration after experiencing a traumatic situation. Though this article is not about the trauma or the situation, it is about an amazing truth that came out of this very painful time.

Throughout the months of wrestling and healing I noticed that I would often wake up at the exact same time: 6:13 am. While no one else would find those numbers significant, for me they were because I was born on June 13th (6/13). At first it was just something that I noticed but paid little attention to. But when it continued to happen I began to think that maybe God wanted to say something to me about my birth or about my life.

Then one day as I woke up once again seeing the time 6:13 I heard these words,

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you…” Jeremiah 1:5 (a)

With those words a revelation came that took my breath away. I saw God’s original plan for each one of us and how beautifully unique and perfect it was. Then I saw myself in my physically unformed state and how even then I was fully formed in God’s eyes and heart. Who I was and who he created me to be (and who I will fully be in my glorified body one day) was perfect and beautiful to him.

Then I saw me put into my mother’s womb and as I grew physically, small imperfections were occurring. Then I was born— into an imperfect world to imperfect parents— and little by little “who he knew me to be before I was formed” was altered and redefined by life experiences, by sin, by traumas and by “Phileo” love (note: agape love is God’s unconditional love and phileo love is human conditional love).

God was showing me that he was using the crushing that I was experiencing to heal a deep wound within my soul that had altered me from who he created me to be. It was a wound that I was not consciously aware of because it had become so familiar that it had merged with my identity. To me, it was just part of who I am.

As I walked out this journey of healing I realized that he was restoring a part of me to the “me” that he knew before I was ever physically formed. And then I realized that his redemptive work in each one of us was restoring us to his original and unique identity that he created us to be. This revelation helped me to allow the Lord to go to the very root of the wound that altered a part of my identity during my formative years.

We are not who we think ourselves to be! But, we are being restored to who he knows us to be as we allow his Spirit to redeem us.

The final part of the revelation was that I saw each one of us after we leave our physical bodies being fully restored to “who he knew us to be before we were formed!” This may be obvious to some of you but it was like a trumpet blast of hope and expectation for me.

I am being restored now but will be fully restored and whole when I leave this body. I will finally be who he knows me and created me to be! And so will you.

Today, receive his words over your life,

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you…”

He hasn’t forgotten and it is how he knows you even now. What you know of yourself is an altered version of a perfect and uniquely beautiful you. But he is restoring parts of you that you didn’t know existed. Sometimes it is in the crushing that true and pure oil is produced so do not resist because he may just be crushing the outer layer to allow the pure “you” to come alive and be restored.

“Lord, we invite you to redeem your original plan and identity that you created us in even before we were in our mother’s womb. Restore and bring forth who you created us to be before the foundations of the world existed. Thank you for your agape love that never stops making all things new.”
