Finger Prints Of God
Janis Smith
Some people walk into our lives and we are never quite the same...
What Indelible Print do you leave on the people you meet? 
Do you leave the FINGERPRINTS OF GOD?
Psalm 8:3-5
"When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,
What is man that You are mindful of him,
And the son of man that You visit him?
For You have made him a little lower than the angels,
And You have crowned him with glory and honor. "
John 20:25-29
"The other disciples therefore said to him, 'We have seen the Lord.' So he said to them, 'Unless I see His hands the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.' ...Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, 'Peace to you!' Then He said to Thomas, 'Reach your finger here, and look at my hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into my side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.' And Thomas answered and said to Him, 'MY LORD and MY GOD!' And Jesus said to him,'Thomas, because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.' And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book: but these are written that you may believe that JESUS IS THE CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD, AND THAT BELIEVING YOU MAY HAVE LIFE IN HIS NAME."
"Have you ever thought about what it means to have The Fingerprint of God upon your life? When He created you and His work was completed He reached out His Loving Hand and He placed His indelible Fingerprint upon you. He has you forever engraved upon His heart and you are always on His mind. He holds you in the palm of His Hand and He overshadows you with the essence of Who HE IS. (See Divine Design for more) You are marked for life by the Fingerprints of God. He gave you fingerprints like none other and this is how you may be recognized, or identified. “...You are fearfully and wonderfully made.” Psalm 139:14 You have your own special fingerprints and DNA. But you also have the Fingerprints of your Creator, God. God’s Word made flesh. His awesome and mighty Hand is upon you.
"Our souls long for God, His Fingerprint…He created us in this way. He created us to long for Him, to know Him and to feel the special touch of His Fingerprint upon our hearts and lives. His Fingerprints are like a love letter. And He wants us to read it over and over again. He wants to touch you and bless you. Open up your heart, breathe in God’s DNA. Learn to hear His Voice, to feel His Touch, His Fingerprints." Sandra Bontemps
God wants you to look closely at His Fingerprints because He is about to touch you again. In these last days the Lord is calling us to holiness. He has picked you up by His mighty hand and set you apart for His glory. It has always been God’s heart that we be Holy as He is Holy, but in this hour He is revealing more revelation through the prophets than ever before. Jesus is preparing His bride, you my dear friend, for the Wedding feast of the Lamb. He is about ready to place the ring on your finger. He is revealing to you that Heaven has come to Earth with a kiss and we are in a time of preparation. Jesus is coming back for a beautiful bride and He is revealing Himself in ways we have never seen before.
His heart’s cry for us is that we have an intimate relationship with Him. He wants the body of Christ to line up together in the bond of love for which He died. He has gently placed you on the Potter’s wheel and His hands are putting pressure on you in order to form you into the perfect vessel, the perfect bride, a diamond in the rough. Humanity has built a dam and tried to hold back His Power and out-pouring. His eye has been roving to and fro throughout the Earth to find someone like you who will allow the Holy Spirit to place you on the Potter’s wheel guided by His hand to empower you to be all that He wants you to be. He is coming back for you His beautifully fashioned bride.
Throughout the years, His eye has seen an individual or pockets of people who possess the wonder and awe of Who He is and who they are in Him. And He poured out in those places times of great revival and outpouring of His Holy Spirit. But listen woman of God, the end times are here and God intends to pour out His Spirit upon all flesh. He is going to touch you and touch me in a new and extravagant way. He is going to break the dam once and for all and flood us with His Spirit and revelation which we have never seen nor heard before. We are about to experience the signs and wonders that will change and shake this world. He is crying out for you to prepare yourself for this great outpouring. He is calling you to holiness right where you are. He is transforming you into His image so that you will be able to bring in the harvest.
His fingerprints are all over you. He put them on you when you were formed in your mother’s womb and those fingerprints are imprinted deep within and without your whole being. It is the touch of the Master’s Hand that has come upon you. Jesus poured all of Himself into you when you became His precious daughter. He daily lavishes His love upon you and touches you as only He can. And woman of God He is calling forth those things within you to bubble up and shine forth.
Jesus said this, “For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel.” John 5:20
“But I have a greater witness than John’s; for the works which the Father has given Me to finish—the very works that I do—bear witness of Me, that the Father has sent Me.” John 5:36
“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.” John 14:12
God has called us to the position where we listen with great intent and put our finger on the very heartbeat of the Father, so that we will do greater works than Jesus as He promised. His loving indelible Fingerprint that marked you for life has covered you with the very blood of Jesus that was shed for you. The blood of Jesus that covers you and runs through you is the very power that will bring these glorious things into being. What an amazing God!
How do we do this? It is by the touch of the Master’s Hand! His fingerprints are upon you and your fingerprints are upon the world. Did you know that you have the ability and authority to bless every thing, every place and every person that you come in contact with? It’s true. You can read it in the precious Word of God, “I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live;” Deuteronomy 30:19.
“As he loved cursing, so let it come to him; as he did not delight in blessing, so let it be far from him.” Psalm 109:17
“Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.” James 3:10
God has given you the authority to bless your children, your home, your car, and anything you can imagine. When your words go out into the atmosphere, they remain. (See Shout It Out) The blessings of the Lord are on your hands and in your feet and throughout your whole being. God told Moses, "Wherever you put your feet that will be your inheritance." He also said, "Whatever your hands find to do, do it with all your might." "I will bless them that bless you and curse them that curse you." Now precious woman of God! This is so powerful that it is hard to contain. Grab hold of the Fingerprints of God’s Word and it will change your way of life.
If you have cursed a person, place or thing it can be removed but only by the blood of Jesus! Wow! The blood of Jesus will erase the curses as far as the east is from the west. And if you think about this…the east and the west never meet!!! Sometimes we curse people, places and things and we don’t even realize it. When you woke up this morning, did you look in the mirror and say, “Oh you are beautiful.” Or did you say, “I hate my hair.” Speak positive things into your life and in the life of others. Remember the power of life and death are in the tongue. When you went out and got into your car today did you say, “I hate this car. I wish I had a Mercedes.” Or did you say, “Precious Car, you are a blessing to me. Thank you for taking me safely to the places I need to go.” You have the ability to keep your car running by blessing it or cursing it to break down. God wants you to see yourself, those you encounter, places and things that you touch, and see each day through the eyes of faith. What you believe, you become. What you bless will be blessed.
Take some time today and cover the door posts of your heart with the blood of Jesus. Begin first with asking yourself for forgiveness. Cover yourself with the blood of Jesus and take back the curses you have spoken over your life. Then speak a blessing over yourself today. You are blessed by the very Fingerprints of God. Cover those people, places and things that you have cursed. Ask for forgiveness and then pour out a blessing. Declare today that this spirit of cursing is broken never again to return. And go out and bless your world. Take hold of the holiness and righteousness that God has placed deep within you by the precious blood of Jesus and touch the world with the Fingerprints of God!
Father,
I am in awe as I feel Your Fingerprints of Love upon my life. The thought that I am forever engraved upon Your heart and on Your mind touches me in amazement. I praise You and thank you for the blessings of life You have so gently placed within me through Your ever-living Word. As You touch me, mold me and impart blessings upon my life, it is my desire to touch the world in the same way. As you go with me today, bring to my attention ways that I can bless the world I live in. I pray today that I will be a mighty woman of God as I walk into the lives of others and leave Your indelible Fingerprints... "Fingerprints of God."
In Jesus Holy Name,
Amen
Enjoy the Journey,
Your Guardians, Sandra and Janis
