The Red Robin, Blue Eggs, and "but God". by Teri Johnson
The problem with Deception;
the deceived cannot see the truth.
The thing about Revival;
some are dead and need to be revived.
The thing about healing;
many are sick and need healing.
The thing about deliverance;
people are bound and need freedom.
The thing about judgment;
Mercy triumphs over judgment.
The thing about the Impossibilities of Life that you face;
with God nothing is possible!
The thing about your battles;
in Him, you have Victory over every battle.
The thing about Awakening;
many are asleep and need to wake up.

Remember that old classic song: “The Red Red Robin” ?
“When the red red robin, comes bob bob bobbin' along along

Cheer up cheer up the sun is red, live, love, laugh and be happy!”
Like the Red Robin, it’s time for you to sing “Cheery Songs” about the Goodness of God. It’s time to wake up and see that as you are secluded, consecrated, and resting in God, He has you sitting on a nest filled with blue eggs of new revelation, that are ready for you to hatch open!
