No Matter How You Feel, or What is Happening, Know that God IS God. Stand Firm in the Father's Name! (8.31.15)

My Child,
No matter how you feel today about what is
happening in the world around you,
know that I Am still GOD.

I Am at work in your life to bless, increase and multiply you.

You are at a place in your life when things have not measured up to what you hoped, and others haven’t kept their word. the enemy of your soul is taunting you with these disappointments. Now, thoughts of running away and hiding until the storm is over, continue to flood your soul.

However, I say to you, do not run from your enemy.
Stand still and be the person who I Created you to be.
Face your enemy and rebuke him, in My Name.

Command him to leave you, your family, your business
and your church family/ministry alone.

Stand firm in My Name. 
Raise your shield. 
Use your sword.
And do not run away.
We will win this battle, Child.

For I Am your Father, the Lord your God.
And I always keep My Word.


Meditate on God's Word:
Ephesians 6:13 - Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of GOD, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

James 4:7 - Submit yourselves therefore to GOD. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

In God's Timing (8.30.15)

Faith Believers,
The first thing we need to understand about GOD's timing, is that it is perfect, just as all of GOD's ways are perfect (Psalm 18:30; Galatians 4:4). GOD's timing is never early, and it's never been late. In fact, from before our birth, until the moment we take our last earthly breath, our sovereign GOD is accomplishing His divine purposes in our lifetimes. He is in complete control of everything and everyone - from everlasting to everlasting. No event in history has put so much as a wrinkle in the timing of GOD's eternal plan, which He designed before the foundation of the world.

One would think, then, that by understanding the sovereignty of our Creator, patience and waiting would come a little more easily. Unfortunately, however, that's not always the case. Our human nature can make waiting for GOD's perfect timing a difficult thing to do. In fact, in the hustle and bustle of our frenzied lives, we often find it difficult to wait for anything or anyone. We want what we want now. And with our modern technological advances, we're often able to get what we want now. As a result, we are not only losing our patience, but also finding it increasingly difficult to discern GOD's timing.

Patience is a spiritual fruit - Galatians 5:22, and Scripture makes it clear that GOD is pleased with us when we display this virtue: Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for Him - Psalm 37:7; for God is good to those who wait for Him - Lamentations 3:25. And our patience often reveals the degree of trust we have in GOD's timing.

We must remember that God operates according to His perfect and foreordained eternal schedule, not ours. We should take great comfort in knowing that, when we wait on the LORD, we receive divine energy and strength: But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint - Isaiah 40:31. The psalmist reiterates: Wait on the LORD; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the LORD! - Psalm 27:14.

Thank GOD for what you have,
Trust GOD for what you need.

Lean on God, Put Your Trust in Him & Things will Turn Around for Your Good (8.28.15)

My Child,
Discouragements will come, that is a part of life.
But the question I have for you is, 'how will you respond when you are faced with discouragement?' I know there are times when you will face it boldly, with faith and confidence, and I must tell you - that attitude pleases Me greatly.

I Am a faithful GOD, and it delights Me
when you put your trust in Me,
and recognize that trouble won’t last always.

However, I also know that there will be times in your life when disappointment and discouragement will bring you down.  There will be days when you just can't manage to be strong enough in your own strength.  Days when you may find it difficult to ignore the situations that oppose you, and fight the good fight of faith.  Days when everything seems too hard.  Days when you just don’t feel like pressing your way....  and you want to give up.

Beloved, it is those times that I want to talk to you about. 
Because, it is in those troubled times that I Am
working all things together, to bring My Glory into your situation.

I do not expect you to be strong in your own strength.
I expect you to lean on Me and draw from My Strength.
I Will be your Strength and your Shield.
I have promised you a hope and a future.
I Am the Lord your God.
I will not go back on My Word.

Yes, you will have hard times, and you may face a few setbacks, as you move forward with Me; but they will never overcome you, nor will they prosper.  If you lean on Me, and keep your trust in Me, I will turn things around for your good. You can run to Me anytime, especially during those times when it seems that everything is too much for you to handle, and I Will help you.

I Will strengthen you when you become weary.
Keep leaning on Me, and you will see that
'no weapon formed against you shall prosper.' 
Lean on Me and I Will bring you through your trials
and you will walk in My Victory.
My Glory will prevail in your situation.

Lean on Me and Trust Me, Child.

We are Accountable for Every Word We Speak, To & About Others (8.27.15)

And GOD said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light - Genesis 1:3

Faith Believers,
GOD created the heavens and earth by speaking them into existence. There is life and death in the tongue. The words that you speak also have the power to hurt or to bless.... Our tongues can create hurtful relationships with others.

Sometimes we inflict pain and put distance between us:
  • “You are such an idiot” - attacks esteem.
  • “Can’t you do anything right?” - undermines confidence.
  • “Get out of my life!” - slams a door.

This kind of caustic language will tear people down and strains relations.
What a difference speaking to others in a wholesome and affirming way makes!
  • “I forgive you” - helps mend a friendship.
  • “You can do it! I know you can!” - encourages the discouraged.
  • “I am with you along the way” - instills hope for someone on a difficult journey.
  • “I promise to be true to you” - assures that you will be faithful.
  • “I am so sorry. I take full responsibility” - signals humility and ownership of a wrong.

Listen to how you speak to others today.
Are your words life-giving or life-taking? 
Do you check your spirit before you say something critical?
Do you consider ways you might say things in love?

GOD has promised us, in His Word, that we will be held accountable for every word we speak to and about others.
___________

Father GOD,

You said that from the overflow
of the mouth one’s heart speaks.

Help me turn my heart toward Your Ways and
Your Love, so that I may use my tongue
to create healthy relationships around me.

Father, help me to use my tongue always to uplift others. 

In Your Son Jesus' Name,

Amen

Isaiah 42:16 (8.26.15)

And I will lead the blind in a way that they do not know, in paths that they have not known I will guide them. I will turn the darkness before them into light, the rough places into level ground. These are the things I do, and I do not forsake them. - Isaiah 42:16
_____________

Glorious Father,
I am in a deep valley right now. 

You know my situation,
and there is a great darkness
that I am walking through.

I am suffocating right now!

Father, I pray for deliverance from this time of tribulation!
Give me strength to press on, Lord!
Give me Your Peace that passes all understanding,
so that I may be equipped to do Your Will
in this difficult time!

I need You this very hour, Father!
I love You!
Amen

_________

Faith Believers,
If you are going through trials and tribulations,
that you do not understand and you have become weary,
know that GOD is with you.
He promised never to leave us or forsake us.

Thank God for what you have,
Ask God for what you need.

In Your Darkest Hour, Remember, Things are not Always What they Seem. (8.25.15)

Beloved,
There will be times when it may seem like
I Am allowing a lot of attacks to come upon you.
It may feel as though I've lifted My Hand of protection
from you; but I have not.

My Child, you only experience attacks that will strengthen and cause you to be drawn closer to Me.  However, what you do not see are the many attacks that I have shielded from you. You don’t see the warfare going on in the heavenlies to shelter you from attacks that would destroy you. Things aren’t what they seem.

In your darkest hour, I want you to remember,
things are not what they seem.

There is nothing that the enemy can throw at you that will surprise Me, overwhelm Me nor stop Me from keeping My Promises to you. Things can look alarming and out of control from your perspective. However, I Am the Lord your God and I Am never caught off guard, for there is nothing that I cannot handle. I Am always working on your behalf to bless and protect you from greater harm.

Therefore, in those times of hardship,
times when it seems like you’re in a dry season,
or when it seems like I’ve forgotten you -
remind yourself of My Promises to you. 

Remind yourself that I will never forsake you nor leave you. I do not disappoint those who put their trust in Me. I have placed My Spirit within you, and My Spirit will reside in you for all the days of your life. 

I Am there with you, always....
so never forget that things are not always what they seem.


MEDITATE ON HIS WORD
Psalm 9:10 - And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

2 Corinthians 4:18 - While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Hebrews 13:5 - Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

God's Promise is Coming to Fulfillment... You are Coming Out!! (8.24.15)

My Child,
Why are you feeling down and worried? 
I never said that you wouldn’t have problems. 
I said, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
but I promise to deliver you from them all.”

I come to tell you that you are coming out of your situation. I don’t care what your circumstances may look like, you are going to come out of that situation. It doesn’t matter how many times you've circled the mountain, you are coming out.

I Am stretching forth My Hand to deliver you. 

You may have failed and lost battles in the past;
however, you are coming out of this situation.

You don’t have to circle that mountain anymore, for you are coming out. Every Word I’ve spoken into your life shall come to pass. My Word will never return void. Be still and know that what I have said is True. 

I Am more than able to fulfill My Promise.
Look to the hills from whence cometh your help.

I Am your Help.
I Am your Deliverer.
And I Am here to deliver you. 

Your promise, which has been long delayed,
is coming to fulfillment.

Child, it is coming into your hands.
_______

Faith Believers, 
PRAISE THE LORD!
GOD is going to do something new in your life
and it is going to amaze everyone around you
when they hear of it. 
If you believe,
give Him a glorious and thunderous shout
of Hallelujah, Glory to GOD!!

Yes, you are coming out!

A Thankful, Blessed, "God's Will" Prayer (8.22.15)

This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it! - Psalm 118:24 (NKJV)
_______________
Father in Heaven,
Thank you!!!
For another day on earth, to live for You!

Thank You for watching over me last night
and guiding me safely through my sleep,
to wake up and enjoy another day on Your earth.

What are Your plans for me today, Lord?
Please show me Your Will,
and lead me where You wish for me to go.

Father God, Your love for me is at a capacity that is impossible
for my human mind to comprehend,
and I am thankful for Your Love, Abba!

I give You this day, and I thank You for it!!
I bless Your Holy Name, Lord!
I love You Father, with my entire heart,
in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ! 

Amen!
Amen!
Amen!!

It Is NOT Over (8.21.15)

My Child,
I speak to those who have lost spiritual perspective.
For many have been burdened by life's situations and circumstances,
and some even have lost sight of My Promises.
I hear some of you saying in your hearts,
"Where is the promise of His coming?"

You doubt that My Word is true.
You have held on and held on, believing for the fulfillment of a promise,
and yet you have not seen the evidence of its completion.
But, I say to you, it is not over until I SAY IT’S OVER!
Keep the faith!

Move and make decisions based on the WORD,
instead of on your circumstances,  and oh, what you can see.

For, the things you can see, are temporary;
but the things not seen, are eternal.
WALK BY FAITH AND NOT BY SIGHT!!

So, set your heart on what is eternal and everlasting.
Don't let the weariness of the moment cause you to want to give up.
Come back to the place of spiritual reality,
where your walk in the Spirit is fresh and pure,
a river of life that brings joy and assurance to your soul.

That is where you need to dwell.
That is where you will be renewed for the Journey.

My Child, I will have the last word in your life;
and I say it’s not over, for the Mouth of the Lord has spoken it!


 MEDITATE ON HIS WORD
Hebrews 11:6 - But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to GOD must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

2 Corinthians 5:7 - For we walk by faith, not by sight:

Isaiah 58:14 - Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

I Am the God of Restoration!! And You are Called & Chosen! (8.20.15)

My Child,
Have you forgotten Who I Am?  
And what I have promised to do for you? 
I Am the GOD of restoration. 

I Am able to accomplish all the things in your life that I have promised; if only you would lay your burdens before me. The enemy will try to convince you that you are not worthy of any blessings, that you are responsible for the confusion in your life and that there is no hope.  he is a liar, the father of lies, and you should not listen to him. Trust that I Can and Will restore all the things that he has stolen from you!!

 I Am the GOD who makes all things new.
I Am the GOD of restoration,
and I Am at work bringing restoration into your life. 

There is nothing you can do, that will stop Me from keeping My promises to you. If you will only Believe and Stand on My Word. I know your beginning to your end, and I hold all power to move in whichever direction I choose.

The question is, are you willing to allow Me to place you on the Right Path?
All I Require of you is that you have a willing and obedient heart.

I Am a loving Father, and I would never leave you nor forsake you.
I Am working to restore every area of your life that that has been tarnished by the enemy.
I Am the GOD of restoration!

I have Called you and I have Chosen you to be One of My Children, therefore I will Bless you. It is My good pleasure to bring joy and peace into your life as you Trust Me to accomplish My Purposes in you, and through you.

Child, you are Mine and I love you dearly.

Everyone Cannot be "In Your Front Row" (8.19.15)

Faith Believers,
Life is a theater so invite your audiences carefully.
Not everyone is holy enough, nor healthy enough, to have a FRONT ROW seat in our lives. There are some people in your life that need to be loved from a distance.  It is amazing what you can accomplish when you let go, or at least minimize your time with draining, negative, incompatible, not-going-anywhere -- relationships, friendships, fellowships and family!

Everyone Cannot be "In Your FRONT ROW."

Observe the relationships around you.  
Pay attention to: 
  • Which ones lift and which ones lean? 
  • Which ones encourage and which ones discourage? 
  • Which ones are on a path of growth uphill and which ones are just going downhill? 
  • When you leave certain people, do you feel better or feel worse? 
  • Which ones always have drama;or don't really understand, know and appreciate you and the gift that lies within you?

Everyone Cannot be "In Your FRONT ROW."

The more you seek GOD and the things of GOD,
The more you seek quality,
The more you seek not just the hand of GOD but the face of GOD,
The more you seek things honorable,
The more you seek growth, peace of mind, love and truth around you....
The easier it will become for you to decide who gets to sit in the FRONT ROW and who should be moved to the balcony of your life.

Everyone Cannot be "In Your FRONT ROW."

You cannot change the people around you.....
but you can change the people you are around!
Ask GOD for wisdom and discernment; and choose wisely the people who sit in the FRONT ROW of your life.  Remember that FRONT ROW seats are for special and deserving people!
Those who sit in your FRONT ROW should be chosen carefully.

Everyone Cannot be "In Your FRONT ROW."

Thank GOD for what you have,
Trust GOD for what you need.

Do not Serve God in Your Strength, but in His; for in Him is where Your Strength Lies (8.18.15)

My Child,
My Glory in your life is made prefect in your weakness.
Your imperfections make you dependent upon Me.

If you could do all I ask of you in your own strength,
then you would not need to depend on Me. 
I Am your greatest strength.

You don't realize this yet, but the more you abide in Me,
the greater access you will have to move in
all of My Gifts and Anointing. 

I don't want you to serve Me in your own strength,
but in Mine; for in Me is where your strength lies.

I know all about your weaknesses - after all, I created you.
Every one of My servants had their flaws.  For I chose the ones
that others passed by, to do mighty things in My Name. 

The thing that made My disciples great was
their willingness to yield to My Will.

They allowed Me to pour My Anointing upon them and to work
mightily through them, despite their imperfections. 
I want to do the same thing in your life,
but you must be a willing vessel and yield to My calling.

And, My child, do not listen to people that taunt you about your weakness.
You are Mine.... 
You are Called and Chosen....
And you are more than a conqueror in Me. 

If you allow Me, I will pour My Grace and My Strength
into you, so that My Name will be glorified through your life. 
I will work My Glory and Perfect Will in you,
as you yield to Me in your weakness.

Therefore, do not look at your own inadequacies,
but look to Me, and rely upon My Strength....

Because it is more than sufficient.



Meditate On God's Word:
1 Corinthians 1:27 - But GOD hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and GOD hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
 

Romans 8:37 - Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

2 Corinthians 3:5 - Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of GOD.
 
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.

We Must Find & Fulfill Our Purpose in Him. Recognizing the Greatness Inside of Us.... (8.17.15)

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which GOD prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them - Ephesians 2:10

Faith Believers,
Often times, feelings of inadequacy flood our souls and cause us to compete with others. We struggle to measure up. We struggle with the feeling of not being good enough. We work so hard to become notable and significant that it becomes a gruesome task to be better than the next person.

It is very important to overcome this mindset.

Otherwise, we allow our minds to become a battle ground. This was never the Lord’s intent. He desires that we celebrate with those who celebrate; and that we applaud our brothers and our sisters for their accomplishments. He even desires that we stand beside them and help them to reach their full potential.

In doing this, we find that He is not a respecter of persons. What we make happen for others, He will help make happen for us. The Scripture tells us that "we are all His workmanship." He has an appointed task and assignment for each of us. We must find our Purpose in Him and allow that purpose to be fulfilled.

If we focus on another person’s assignment,
our task remains undone and the people
we could reach remain lost.

My prayer for you is that you recognize the greatness that is on the inside of you.
Every one of us has been created with specific intent.
Seek the Lord concerning your assignment in the Kingdom.
  -  Marilyn


Father God, 
I pray that the eyes of our understanding 
will be enlightened to see the Truth of Your Love;
for us as You guide us with Your Eyes,
leading us to that place of purpose
that You have created for us.

Help us to run the race that You have set before us,
knowing that the prize is not given to the swift or the strong,
but to the one that endures until the end.  


In Your Son Jesus' Name,

Amen

Get Your House in Order. Make a Decision. Choose Wisely. Rededicate Your Life to God. (8.16.15)

My Child,
I say to you, abide with Me each and every day.

Do not look around to see what others are doing,
what they have, and what they are saying.
You must not be concerned with them.

Do not allow the voices of the world
to draw you away from Me
and rob you of your peace.
That will lead to confusion.

I have given you specific things
that need your special touch,
so please attend to them.

You must remember My Words to you,
and follow them.

Maintain your prayer times throughout the day.
Honor them and allow no clutter to come between you and Me.

I see so many things crowding your days,
causing you to become frustrated and confused at times.
Lets remove these things out of your life.

Stop, slow down, a take a look at your life....
And re-dedicate it to Me.
Get your house back in order.

I Am either everything to you,
or I Am nothing at all.
I do not want pieces of you.
Your life must be completely given to Me.

My Child, there is no other life apart from Me.

You have a decision to make.
Choose wisely.
Choose this day whom you will serve.

As your Father, I pray, My Child, that
you will continue to abide in My Word daily.

In My Word, you will find the answers to everything you need.

Your peace, your joy and hope for tomorrow are all in My Word.
So, allow My Words to live within you
and lead you to where peaceful waters flow.

Trust in Me, take My Hand, now lift up your eyes
and come abide with Me.


Meditate on His Word: John 15:7

~  My Prayer Confession  ~
Dear Lord,
I ask forgiveness for allowing the enemy
to draw me away from You and to disturb the
beautiful peace that once rested within.

I make this my declaration to You - 
   I promise to abide with You daily,
   to be filled with the presence of Your Holy Spirit,
   so I can attend to the Works,
   You have called me to do.


In Your Son Jesus' name,
Amen

Realize & Step Into Your Destiny..... A Destiny that God has Carefully Created, Just for You. (8.15.15)

My Child,
Please stop trying to fit into things I have not called you to be a part of, for it is only causing you heartache and pain. Stop looking at what others are doing, and focus on the things that I have placed in your hands to do. If you do not know what I created you to do (or if you need a gentle reminder) then come and sit at My feet, and listen to Me.  I will tell you the purpose in which I have created you, because I want you to step into the destiny that I have carefully prepared, just for you.

My Glory and My Anointing shall be upon you,
and you will bless others with your special gifts.
Gifts that I have given to you.

Oh, there is so much I want to do in your life. 
Come and allow Me to speak into your soul, the things of GOD.
Allow Me to define you, so that you will know that you were called ,
and chosen, by Me.  For I Am the Lord your God, your Heavenly Father.

I want you to know that I have already given you
the destiny that I created you for, however
you have yet to realize it.

I have already equipped you fully for your destiny
and I will cause you to succeed in it.

Spend time with Me and listen to what I have to say. I have prepared many blessings for you. You were fearfully and wonderfully made to do all the things I have anointed you to do. Therefore, do not try to fit into the ways of this world, for it will soon pass away; however I Am, and My Word will stand forever.  So have faith in Me, little one, and believe in the things I am telling you.

Stand up and believe, so you can enter into the destiny
that I have chosen for you. 

A destiny I created long ago -- Just For You.

Allow God To Bless You -- in HIS Way (8.14.15)

My Child,
I Am the Lord your God, and it is My Desire is to give you good gifts.  Gifts beyond what you can think, or imagine.  However, you must open your heart and mind; because your limited expectations of Me are hindering My Ability to Bless you.

Oh My Child, I have so much for you;
and it is more than you can think or imagine. 

I Am a Loving Father, who delights to give good gifts
to His Dear Children, but I cannot do this if you
continue to bind My Hands with all your limitations.

Please stop limiting Me on how I will Bless you, or how many Blessings I need, to allow into your life. Stop basing My Blessings to you, on what you think you can afford, or what you believe you deserve. And please, stop making excuses; thinking of why I should not Bless you...

For all have sinned, and come short, of My Glory.

Instead, open your heart, open your hands, and
receive the good gifts that I desire to Bless you with.

Allow Me to Bless you in the way that I want
to Bless you, with no limits.

My Child, when you learn to Trust Me in ALL things,
you will be amazed at what I will do for you.

Therefore, please do not hinder Me from doing what brings Me joy and delight, and that is blessing you.  Receive My Blessings with a heart of thanksgiving, for I have so many Good Things that I want to do for you.

So, allow Me to Bless you My Way.
All you have to do, is be ready

Hold On & Trust Him. God Sees All, Knows All & Hears All; and He has not Forgotten You... (8.13.15)

My Child,
You must Trust Me at all times, 
not just when things are going well. 

You have to Trust Me when you cannot see your next step. 
I promised I would see you through. 
Now, you must Trust Me to keep My Word. 

The day is coming when your mourning will turn into laughter, and when your sorrow will turn into joy. Hold on, I have not forgotten you. I have not forgotten the trials and the circumstances surrounding you. I have not forgotten your tears. Hold on because I Am with you. I see all, know all, and hear all. Resist any anger or bitterness that may arise within you. Hold on and know that I have not forgotten you.
  
When the storm rises, remember, these are testing times. 

Listen to My Voice, and only My Voice, 
because I am listening to yours. 

The only thing you have to do is ask, and know that I hear you. 

Your faith will move mountains, 
so speak to your storm. 

Speak to the mountain that stands in your way. 
Tell the enemy, he is a liar, and get thee behind you. 
You are more than a conqueror because you are Mine. 
I know what your desires are, so let Me guide you. 

Take your time, and allow yourself to be led by My Spirit. 
The Spirit will lead and teach you.

So please do not worry about anything; but in everything be prayerful. 
You must have Faith in My Name. 
Ask in Faith, and it shall be given. 
Know that I Am still in control. 
I Am working things out for your good. 
Trust Me to bring it all to pass - because it's only a test.

HOLD ON, YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN, GOD KNOWS YOUR NAME!

Do Not Delay, Set Your House in Order & Dedicate Your Life to God (8.11.15)

Oh, set watch and pray,
let not thy work be undone
when the Son of man comes.

My Child,
It is time to cast aside anything that would hold you back
from walking in a close relationship with Me. 

It is time to set your heart and emotions in agreement with My Priorities,
and release anything that will cause you to take your eyes off My Word.

It is time to lay aside offense, strife and anger;
and to forgive, as freely as I have forgiven you. 

It is time to lay aside your own agendas and desires;
and say, “Lord, not my will, but Thy Will be done.

For the time is coming very soon when I will pour out My Power and Anointing on those who have given Me absolute surrender; those who have set their spiritual houses in order, and have allowed the Holy Spirit to come in and make all things new.

I Am looking for those who have dedicated themselves to Me,
so that I may show My Glory through them, and draw many more unto Me.

So, I say to you - do not delay,
set your house in order, for the time is nigh.

When You are in the dark, You cannot See until there is LIGHT (8.10.15)

Jesus prayed, They do not belong to this world any more than I do. Make them holy by your truth; teach them your word, which is truth. - John 17:16-17

Faith Believers,
We cannot expect non-believers to have Godly moral standards or a desire to please GOD. We can, and should, expect Christians to act differently than the culture they live in.  Actions as different as night and day.

The Light has come into the world, and people loved darkness rather than the Light, because their deeds were evil - John 3:19. -- Human culture is ruled by sin and selfish desires. Without Jesus people are lost in darkness - Matthew 18:10-14; dead in their sin (see Ephesians 2:1-5), separated from GOD (see Colossians 1:21-22) and condemned without hope (see John 3:18).

When you are in the dark, you cannot see, until there is light.
Remember, we ALL began there. (see Romans 3:11, 23)
Jesus is the Light of the World!!

He (Jesus) rescued us from darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of His Son He loves. We have redemption and the forgiveness of sins in Him - Colossians 1:13-14

Becoming a Christian is not about reciting a prayer.  
It is about a complete allegiance to follow Christ.
It is about a radical transformation of your identity. 

Jesus said, I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of GOD - John 3:3

Have you been born again?
What King do you serve?

In His Word, the Lord said, "That He wishes
that none will perish, but that all will give their life to Christ."

God has Begun a New Thing in You... The Time is Now, Wait No Longer! (8.9.15)

My Child,
Start looking for the hidden blessings that are all around you. 
Open your eyes to the wonders of My hands upon your life. 
Take hold of this new day and learn that it is “OK” for you to trust Me. 

I have begun a new thing in you, and I want you to trust Me. 
I want you to trust Me in your loneliest moments,
       those moments when others have deserted you.

Trust Me when fear of the unknown is lingering around, for I have already provided for you. Say you Trust Me with where you are at this very moment, because I Know your beginning and end. Trust and Believe that I Am not a GOD of suffering, but I Am the Lord Your God.  I Am a GOD of love and compassion, who cares for you.

Renew your time in prayer, and this time,
   when you pray, I want you to pray with expectation. 
Pray and expect to receive. 
Pray and release My Words, not your words over your life,
   and watch the enemy withdraw. 

This is not the Time nor the Season to be timid in prayer. 

It is time to speak forth what I have spoken to you
It is time to see the Truth prevail.
It is time to proclaim out loud what I Am doing in your life. 

The time is now! 
Wait no longer!!
Wake up from your place of slumber and shout the victory!


Meditate On God's Word
Psalm 73:28 - But it is good for me to draw near to GOD: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.

Isaiah 43:19 - Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

Romans 13:11 - And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.

Not my will, but Thy Will Be Done (8.7.15)

Beloved,
There will be times when you will not receive everything you want.

When I don’t give you what you want, please know there is always a reason for not honoring your request. No loving father would give their child everything they wanted, if he did how would you ever learn to be grateful? I promised to supply all your needs, not all your wants.  No good thing will I withhold from those who love Me. 

Yes, I know in My Word, I said if you delight yourself in Me, I will give you the desires of your heart.  When I said that, it was never My Intention to give you whatever you wanted, any time you wanted it.  It was always My Expectation that as you delighted in Me, you would grow and mature in Me, and your desires would line up with My Perfect Will for you.

And when you are walking in My Will for your life,
never would you desire anything
that wouldn’t glorify My Name.

My Child, there are going to be times when you don't get what you want from Me, so that I may examine the attitude of your heart towards Me. Will you handle it with maturity and grace or will you throw a tantrum and turn away from Me?  Look at how My faithful servant Paul handled things when he didn’t get what he desired.  He prayed earnestly for an affliction to be lifted from him.  I know that he desired for it to be removed however, I denied his request telling him that My Grace was sufficient for him.  He handled it maturely, choosing My Plans and Purposes over his desire for comfort at the moment. Paul accepted this and I strengthened him, and blessed the work of his hands.

I Am hoping that you will respond the same way that he did.

I Am looking for those who will walk in holiness before Me,
and will love Me, and do My Will, no matter the circumstances.

I Am looking for the ones who follow the example set forth
by My Son and say, “Nevertheless, not my will, but Thy Will be done.”

I Am searching the earth for such ones, so that I might
fill them with greater measures of My anointing,
so I can accomplish My Purposes through them.

My Child, will you trust Me, and be one of these?

How will you handle it, the next time you
do not get what you want;
and I choose to give you what you need?
 

MEDITATE ON HIS WORD
 Psalm 84:11 - For the LORD GOD is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

Philippians 4:19 - But my GOD shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:11 - Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.

2 Corinthians 12:8-10 - For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. 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.  Therefore, I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

Job 13:15 - Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him:

My Child - I Love You & I Am at Work in You (8.6.15)

My Child,
I love you and I Am at work in you. 

I Am the Lord your God, and I have ordained you to be more than a conqueror in Me.  That is why I am exposing and removing things from your life that have been holding you back from Victory.  Yes, I know this process can be painful, and that there are some things you don’t want to let go.  However, it’s time to let go of the things that aren’t blessing your life, and let Me do a work in you.

Be patient and allow Me to purge you. 
And as I am purging you, I Am also washing away
   your mistakes and I Am healing your pain.
I have a plan in place that will bring you out
   into a much better place. 

Lift your head up. Do not look at your life as one big mistake, and stop calling yourself a failure because I do not see you as a failure. I do not create failures, nor is your life a mistake.  You were created in My Image and I know who you are. You are an extension of Me, and when I look at you, I see My Hand upon your life. 

I see you as the person you will become in Me,
and I delight in who you are becoming.
I am committed to transforming you, giving you victory and joy,
and I will continue to work in your life until this is accomplished.
 

MEDITATE ON HIS WORD:
2 Samuel 22:20 - He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

Romans 8:37 - Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

Philippians 1:6 - Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

Persistent Faith is the Key; for Lack of Faith & Trust in God's Word, Hinders All Blessings. (8.5.15)

My Child,
One of your greatest problems, is that you don't always believe Me,
and you do not always take Me at My Word.

You read the promises of My Word and you think to yourself,
      "That is not for me," or "This is not for today."
Child, I Am the GOD of Truth.
I Am the GOD who cannot lie.
And I do not change.
If I have given a promise, then I will watch over My Word
       to make sure that it does not return void. 
I Am the GOD of all power; no man can stay My Hand,
and no force can prevent My Promises from coming to pass.

However, there is one thing that can hinder your blessings from coming forth.
It is your lack of faith and your lack of trust in My Word.

Child, persistent faith is the key that will unlock the promises I have made to you.

I often do not give you a time frame, but you always seem to give Me one.  When your promise doesn’t come to pass on your time; you often become frustrated and decide that I Am not going to keep My Word to you, and you stop believing.  You must ask, seek and knock until the door is opened.  Isn’t this what My Son did in the Garden before He gave His Life for you.  He prayed, and prayed, and prayed, until I Am, His Father, sent angels to minister unto Him.

My Son didn’t give up, therefore nor should you.
You must press through in faith.

You must know, beyond a shadow of doubt that I Am the Lord Your God, I Am faithful, I Am able, and I will provide.  Know that The Father who promised you, will deliver; and you must stand firm in that knowledge.  Persist in the face of doubtful circumstances, and rebuke every hindering spirit coming against you.

Stand in My Faith and believe that I Am the GOD, who's Son gave His life for you and will always keep His Word.  So be persistent and press through in Faith; take hold of My Promises and do not ever let them go.

Trust Me and dare to believe; and
you will receive that which
I have promised & planned for you.
 

MEDITATE ON MY WORD
Numbers 23:19 - GOD is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
 

Ezekiel 12:25 - For I am the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD.

Isaiah 55:11 - So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Matthew 7:7-8 - Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Trust God, for Your Life will be a Testimony to Others (8.4.15)

My Child,
I AM calling you to trust in Me completely. 

It is time you stop listening to the lies of the enemy,
and stop repeating the lies he whispers in your ears.
When he tells you he is in control of your situation,
and that I will not heal your body - turn a deaf ear to him.

You know what he is telling you isn’t in My Word.
I understand it may be hard for you to believe for
your healing when you are in pain.
However, how will you receive your healing,
if you do not believe when you pray?
Claim your healing by faith in My Name.

You have come so far, what causes you to doubt Me now?
I know you do not understand My ways.
My ways are so much higher than your ways.

That’s why I said to Trust Me, Lean on Me, Acknowledge Me
and I will direct your paths.

So, why not lean on Me and allow Me to guide you through this?
Give this to Me, for only I can handle it.

Do not allow your daily trials to cause you to lose focus.
I want you to look past your trials and realize that I AM doing a new thing in you.
I AM purifying your heart, and in the process,
I AM bringing to the surface all the impurities that were lying dormant.

I AM removing the things even you forgot about.
Give Me full control, and know that I will do a good thing in you.

Trust Me, I will complete the work that I started in you.
I will make you whole, but it will be done in My timing.

Your life will be a testimony to others.
A testimony of My faithfulness to those who endure until the end.

Remember, trust in Me always and I will deliver you.....
 

Meditate on God's Word: Proverbs 3:5-6



~  My Prayer Confession  ~

Thank you Lord,
For teaching me to trust in You completely!!

Yes Lord, it has been hard to believe that I am healed
when I feel the pain still in my body. 

I know the enemy wants me to confess that I have not 
been healed, yet still praise Your Holy Name.

But I am going to stand and confess the Word of the Lord over my life. 

In the Name of Jesus, no longer will I confess doubt. 
I am praising You in advance for my healing!!
I am praising You as I take my medicine!!
And claiming by Your stripes I am healed!!!

Thank you Father God!
And in all things....

Amen

Lift Your Head Up, Stand Tall & Walk Forward into a New Season (8.3.15)

My Child,
Whatʹs done is done.
You canʹt change the past.
However, you do have a choice to make.

You can continue to dwell in the past, or decide to let go of your past and move forward in Faith.
Establish yourself in Strong Faith, through the reading and hearing of My Word.

Lift your head up, stand tall and walk forward into a new season.

As you move forward, you will see the rewards I have for you along the journey.
The path in this season will be well worth all you have gone through.
Focus on the new direction I have set before you.
Focus on committing your heart to remain on this path.

Distractions will come, to try and divert you away from this path.
Refuse them, cast away all distractions, so that you
can move forward in My Perfect Will.

Stay focused on what I am saying to you
and the things that I am doing in your life.
This will keep you in the Center of My Will.
And will unlock blessings stored up for you.

Move forward with renewed hope and confidence;
knowing that I Am the Lord your God,
and I Am with you all the way.
 

MEDITATE ON HIS WORD
Proverbs 4:25-26 - Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee. Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.

Keep Praying (8.2.15)

My Child,
You have so much on your mind.
You’re praying fervently about something you need to do.
It is good that you’re seeking wisdom and guidance for the next step.
Continue to pray and press your way.

However, I want to assure you that I have heard your prayer.
Now, I want you to quiet yourself so you can hear Me.
I Am the Lord Your God and I will show you why it should be done. 
Then I will show you what, where, and when to do it.

It is good to pray, but it’s very important to listen, after you pray.
Therefore, stay before Me in close communion with Me after you pray.
This will reassure you of My Love for you.

This will strengthen your faith and you will see evidence that I heard you, and that I haven’t left you to solve this matter alone. I know you donʹt know the outcome of how others will respond, but that’s not for you to worry about.

I will work with all involved, leave them to Me.
Keep your focus on Me, and let your prayers become
prayers of thanksgiving for all the things I’m doing in your life.

Keep Praying....
