8 Now you are ready, bride of the mountains, to come with Me as we climb the highest peaks together. Come with Me through the archway of trust, we will look down from the crest of the glistening mounts and from the summit of our sublime sanctuary. Together we will wage war in the lion’s den and the leopard’s lair as they watch nightly for their prey.” TPT

We discuss trusting God even when we go through difficult situations that we don't understand. Lisa shares from her heart about losing her 6 year old daughter in an accident and how Jesus healed her heart and brought her back to a place of trust in Him.

On Today's Podcast, I discuss Song of Songs 2:8-9 with my daughter, Kristen Westhoff.

Song of Songs 2:8-9: “8 Listen! I hear my Lover’s voice! I know it’s Him coming to me -- leaping with joy over mountains. Skipping in love over the hills that separate us, to come to me. 9 Let me describe Him: He is graceful as a gazelle -- swift as a wild stag. Now He comes closer, even to the places where I hide. Now He gazes into my soul, peering through the portal, as He blossoms within my heart. TPT

In John 10:3-5, Jesus said, “3 The sheep recognize the voice of the true Shepherd, for he calls his own by name and leads them out, for they belong to him. 4 And when he has brought out all his sheep, he walks ahead of them and they will follow him, for they are familiar with his voice. 5 But they will run away from strangers and never follow them because they know it’s the voice of a stranger.” TPT

On today's podcast, we discuss hearing God's voice and being led by Him when we have important decisions to make and how He leads us when we go through difficult circumstances in our lives.

Song of Songs 8:5-7:

5 [The Bridegroom King] Who is this one? Look at her now!She arises from her dessert of difficulty clinging to her Beloved. When I awakened you under the apple tree; as you were feasting upon me I awakened your innermost being with the travail of birth as you longed for more of Me!

6 Fasten Me upon your heart as a seal of fire forevermore. This living, consuming flame will seal you as My prisoner of love!My love will be stronger than the chains of death and the grave, consuming as the very flashes of fire from the burning heart of God. Place this fierce, unrelenting fire over all your being!

7 Rivers of persecution and pain will never extinguish this flame. Endless floods will be unable to quench this raging fire burning within you. Everything will be consumed, it will stop at nothing as you yield everything to this furious fire- until it won’t even seem to you like a sacrifice anymore! TPT

[The Shulamite Bride] 2 My lover has gone down into his garden of delight, the place where his spices grow, to feast with those pure in heart. I know we shall find him there.

3 He is within me- I am His garden of delight. I have him fully and now he fully has me!

[The Bridegroom-King] 4 O My beloved, you are lovely. When I see you in your beauty I see a radiant city, where we will dwell as one. More pleasing than any pleasure, more delightful than any delight. You have ravished My heart, stealing away my strength to resist you. Even hosts of angels stand in awe of you!” TPT

Hands: strength & power- his ability to take care of everything that concerns you.

Gold: the divine attributes & nature of God

The words the bride uses to describe her bridegroom Jesus hands and body reminds her of his power, holiness, and majesty

Song of Songs 5:14 (TPT) See how his hands hold unlimited power! But he never uses it in anger, for he is always holy, displaying his glory. His innermost place is a work of art— so beautiful and bright. How magnificent and noble is this one— covered in majesty!

Anointing- breaks the yoke of bondage

In John 6:63-64; 66-68 Jesus said, “63 The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit and life. 64 Yet there are some of you who do not believe.” 66 From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him.67 “You do not want to leave too, do you?” Jesus asked the Twelve. 68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.”

Isaiah 46:3-4

“3 Listen to me, I have cared for you since you were born. Yes, I carried you before you were born. 4 I will be your God throughout your lifetime— until your hair is white with age.
