A TENT FOR WINTER
10/13/26 A TENT FOR WINTER
This week the temperatures have gone down to 31 so I have been getting Baby Kitty’s tent ready for a settled winter. I rearranged the patio deck and moved her tent into place. Then I got her heating pad and blankie and settled it under the chair inside her tent. Today I got out the heating lamp and installed that too. Tomorrow her new fluffy kitty house will come to further insulate her from the cold at nights.
In my hand journal I wrote the following today, having no idea the Lord had a message hidden throughout this!! It has comforted me greatly!
AM DEVOTIONS – LEANING UPON HIS STRENGTH
After so many weeks of misc sickness, it all ended with the flu that sounded very much like covid, having suffered great exhaustion. Today I made it about 75% of my morning walk. My strength is returning! Thank You Lord for carrying me through this time.
HEARD: I am protecting you. I will establish you sweet one. My kingdom is coming. It’s growing within. Everything you have walked through has a purpose. Nothing was left to chance. You graduated each lesson. Your thoughts are anointed just as you are. I am within and inspire it all. It’s not about your strength, but Mine within you.
Upon hearing that, He reminded me of the following scripture and so I looked it up. This week I told the Lord I had missed studying a passage in the Greek Strongs and wanted to something to study. Boy was I surprised at what I found!
2 Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

WORD TO PONDER: THE POWER OF DWELLING WITHIN HIS TENT 10/13/26
My beloved one, all that you have gone through has been allowed by Me. Each and every lesson you have learned has been to draw you closer to Me. Complete and utter consecration to Me is the most powerful place to be. I have been answering your prayers through each lesson and you have learned the power to overcome has not been in your own strength.
Dear one, I am saying to you that My favor is raising a barrier for you – so that My miraculous force and power is made completely consecrated in your feeble weakness. I want you to rejoice in your weakness because My miraculous power is resting upon you, all around you just like you dwelling inside My tent. As you trust in Me for your strength, together we have close intimacy, warmth, fellowship, protection, refuge and rest within our abiding place.
Zechariah 4:6 Then he answered and spoke unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, says the LORD of hosts.
2Co 12:9 AMP But He said to me, My grace (My favor and loving-kindness and mercy) is enough for you [sufficient against any danger and enables you to bear the trouble manfully]; for My strength and power are made perfect (fulfilled and completed) and N1show themselves most effective in [your] weakness. Therefore, I will all the more gladly glory in my weaknesses and infirmities, that the strength and power of Christ (the Messiah) may rest (yes, may N2pitch a tent over and dwell) upon me!
