Heaven's Rescue

Psalm 57:2-3

I cry out to God Most High, to God, who fulfills his purpose for me.
He sends from heaven and saves me, rebuking those who hotly pursue me; God sends his love and his faithfulness.

I cry out to God Most High, to God, who fulfills his purpose for me.

I have a purpose and a call. YES, we (God and I) both know that. But days come when every assignment purposed to stop that purpose come running after me. Those days, I learn to CRY. Oh yes, we must cry out TO the God who fulfills his purpose for us. Or we end up crying out to idols which cannot rescue us. Even idols of laziness and lack or worship! We cry out to him and say, "God, the God who FULFILLS YOUR PURPOSE FOR ME," rescue me so that your words may be established in my life.

He sends from heaven and saves me, rebuking those who hotly pursue me; God sends his love and his faithfulness.

This part really blew my mind. I never thought of it this way... HE SENDS FROM HEAVEN. He sends from where? Where God? Heaven?

This was the picture I saw. Three wounded men were being attacked by an army of hundreds or even more - men with machine guns and fighter tanks. Who could survive from such an enemy?

They are hiding in the forrest among the bushes. Their enemy is closing in on them. They have tried to contact the nearby camp for reinforcement. They were waiting. It was a vast army that is pursuing them... The nearby camp does not have enough reinforcement to match this army.

Thus, it was the military's MAIN HEADQUARTERS that sent them help. They have the best fighter planes, the best trained men, the best choppers, the best men were put in charge of the rescue. This is HEAVEN's RESCUE. It is not a mediocre assault. It is God's military strategy from heaven.

They hear the fighter planes coming. At impulse they suddenly jerk their heads upward. (Where does my help come from?) They heard the chopper coming and machine guns cleared the ground from them to be able to come out and be rescued.



I heard the Holy Spirit saying, heaven's rescue, heaven's rescue, heaven's rescue! This is God rescuing us in his LOVE and FAITHFULNESS. Simply because we cried out. Why would God send his LOVE and FAITHFULNESS together with his rescue operation? It simply had to be cheesy right? Here we are, waiting for a the chopper and fighter planes to come, but God does not only send the fighters, he says, I'm sending you my a love song. In the midst of the WARFARE, we hear a LOVE SONG echo, being sung by our very own, Commander in Chief and Mighty Man of War, our Daddy God.
