Scripture: He fell to the ground at Jesus’ feet, thanking him for what he had done... Jesus asked, “Didn’t I heal ten men? Where are the other nine?..” - Luke 17:12-17
One day, Jesus healed 10 lepers of their disease.
As loving and kind as our Savior is,
He noticed that only one leper thanked Him.
Do you ever forget to tell God thank you?
Don’t forget what Jesus has done for you.......
Sometimes we pray for months, or years, to the Father - asking for a job, a home or a child. Year after year Elizabeth, Mary’s cousin, longed to be a mother. Finally, the blessing came and God gave her John the Baptist as her son. Her husband, Zechariah, gave God thanks and praise in this prayer: Praise the Lord, the God of Israel...And you my little son, will be called the prophet of the Most High, because you will prepare the way of the Lord. - Luke 1:68, 76.
Once we receive a blessing, we can be so involved with the gift, that we forget to thank God—just like nine of the lepers did. But “One of them, when he saw that he was healed, came back to Jesus, shouting, “Praise God!” - Luke 17:15.
Each day, sit down and think about
the great things God has done for you.
Then, go back to Him and give thanks.
How do you begin your day?
I want to start my day and end my day with appreciation and thanksgiving to the Lord Jesus. Ephesians 5:20 tells us to “...give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Do you add praise to your thanksgiving prayer?
When God does amazing things,
it reminds us of how great He is.
When that happens, we can add praise to our thanksgiving. A great prayer of praise and thanksgiving is Mary’s song of praise. Mary, an ordinary woman, was scorned by many as she carried Jesus in her womb. Though her situation was not ordinary, she gave thanksgiving and praise to the Lord by saying: “Oh, how my soul praises the Lord. How my spirit rejoices in God my Savior! For He took notice of His lowly servant girl...generations will call me blessed. For the Mighty One is holy, and He has done great things for me.” - Luke 1:46-49
Did you say a prayer of thanksgiving
after Jesus answered your last prayer?

You have Come too Far to Settle for Just Anything (11.29.15)
My Child,
Why do you look to others for what you need?
Didn’t I tell you that I would supply your every need
according to My riches in glory?
Didn’t you believe Me?
Then, why do you continue to ask them to supply your needs?
You are My Righteous One. You do not have to beg them.
The righteous will never be forsaken or have to beg.
Yet, you go to them, and you continue to allow them to use you.
They do not know what you need, I do.
What you need, they cannot supply.
Oh, they may try to fulfill your needs, but they will only fail you.
They will forsake you.
Wait and allow Me to supply your needs.
You have come too far to settle for just anything.
I only want good and perfect for you.
Let Me give you My best.
Will you wait for Me?
I waited for you.
Meditate on His Word:
Philippians 4:11 - Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content
Philippians 4:19 - But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Jesus Authorizes Us to Use His Name in Prayer - John 16:14 (11.28.15)
Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete - John 16:14
Faith Believers,
By offering to let us pray in His Name, Jesus is offering an amazingly great privilege. It’s as if He is giving us blank checks to be drawn on His account, knowing we will use them for His honor and His advantage.
Jesus is demonstrating great trust in us. He is trusting that His honor and His interests are safe in our hands. Consider what it would mean to place your estate in the hands of another person: your credit cards, your home, your investments, your car, your responsibilities, everything. You’d pick that person very carefully, wouldn’t you? You’d really be giving that person control over your life and your future.
That is essentially what Jesus did when He authorized us to use His Name in prayer. He gave us authority over His accounts. He asked us to exercise control over His estate – the Kingdom of GOD.
We exercise our authority by prayer. By prayer, we ask the Father for all we need, in order to do the job. By prayer,
we ask GOD to deal with demonic forces contrary to His will. By prayer, we direct GOD’s grace and power to strategic locations where it is needed.
The Father so loves the Son that when we introduce the Son’s name in prayer, we have Our Father's ear, we have secured His willingness, and we have touched His Heart.
- Marilyn
Lord Jesus,
It is such a mystery that You have given us authority
to seek the heart of the Father in Your Name.
It awes me that this divine partnership touches
people and situations all over the earth
and accomplishes Your purposes.
May I never take for granted this amazing privilege
of prayer, and may I always be worthy of Your trust!
Amen

A Thanksgiving Day Prayer (11.26.15)
Heavenly Father,
I want to thank you for all the blessings
You have bestowed upon me and my family.
Right now, in the name of Jesus, I plead the blood of Jesus
over all of my family members as we gather together on this day.
So many things could have gone wrong today,
which could have prevented us gathering together;
but Your Love brought us together, to give thanks
for all that You have blessed us with, and Lord,
we are grateful for Your mercy.
Father, I pray that as we stand here together,
that You will touch each of our hearts and
draw us together to work out our differences.
Let us celebrate this day together,
as we love and care for one another,
as Your Word says we should.
You have been good to us, and I pray that You will continue
to bless and keep our family during this time of so much evil.
Continue to bless us Lord, as we celebrate this Thanksgiving day
and let us not forget that everything we own
has been given to us as a blessing by You.
Continue to bless and keep us as we give You
praise and thanksgiving on this day and everyday.
May our family be covered in the blood of Jesus forever
and thank you again Father for all you have done
and are going to do in our lives.
I pray this prayer to You, Heavenly Father,
in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ.
Amen

Your Faith is being Tested. Trust in God. (11.25.15)
My Child,
Your faith is being tested.
Some things you have desired have not materialized.
And yet you have seen Me work miracles in the lives of those around you. What could possibly happen that I do not have control over? Have you ever thought how foolish it is to worry about what you cannot control?
I say unto you, put your faith in Me because all of creation is in My Hands.
I Am the beginning and the end of all things. I have power over every person, trial and everything in this world - both above and beneath. I can never fail you, nor will I ever forsake you.
My Love for you is an everlasting commitment
to protect you and provide for you, throughout all eternity.
I invite you to test Me, and see if you find Me to be true to My Word.
I Am GOD, not man that I should lie.
So I say to you again, "Why are you worrying?
Matthew 6:34 - So do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Remember this:
There is nothing that you will face today,
that the Lord can't bring you through.
Thank GOD for what you have,
Trust GOD for what you need

Instill within me confidence to know that You are able, and willing, to intervene in my life every day. Strengthen me, so I can continue, fervently in prayer, while renewing my faith - making it stronger and stronger each day.

A Focused, Prayerful, "Prayer-filled" Prayer (11.23.15)
Father, Jehovah,
You are a GOD of order and purpose.
You desire Your people to seek to do Your will
and fulfill Your kingdom plans, but yet many times
we are focused on our own needs and concerns.
Father help us to be about doing Your business.
While we seek to do Your will, keep and protect us
from the evil one, by the power of Your Son's Name, Jesus Christ.
May we, Your children, be united together with one mind
and one heart, so that You alone receive glory!
Father, I also ask in the matchless name of Jesus that
You make me aware of the plans and schemes of the enemy,
so that I may recognize his work and rebuke him.
Father, Your Word is quick, powerful and
sharper than a two edged sword.
I know You have power over all things, but please help me
to pray for those who rejoice in doing the work of the enemy.
Give me the courage to tell them that You love them, and so do I.
I will pray they will repent of their sins.
Lord, Your Word says that You wish that
no one will perish, so help me Father
to pray for my enemies always.
I pray this day Father that You will
send someone this day into my path
that I can share the Word of GOD with.
This prayer I pray to You this morning
Father, in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ.
Amen

A Recommitment Prayer (11.21.15)
Father GOD,
Thank you for waking me up this morning to see another day.
GOD you are the beginning and end of all things,
the Alpha and the Omega.
Father, I thank You for loving me - regardless of my faults.
Father you have kept me in Your Mind since the beginning of the world,
and will continue to hold me close to You when this world passes away.

to become the beginning and end of my existence.
Starting today Lord, I will commit myself to giving You
the highest place in my life and in my heart.
Father GOD, reveal your glory to me, so that
I cannot help but praise You with my whole heart.
Strengthen me, so that I will always be about Your Agenda and not mine.
Help me, to share the Word of GOD with others; so that those
who choose to follow You, will know that regardless
of what they are going through, You hold All Power in your Hands
to change their situation - if they will only Believe.
I thank You Father that I believe.
Help me Father to love those who are choosing
to do the work of the enemy, thinking that
their wicked deeds are unknown and unseen to You.
You are forever present. An all seeing and all knowing GOD!
Father, Your Word said that no deed will be overlooked - good or bad.
You said that You will repay all deeds, whether good or bad.
Remind me, through the Holy Spirit, to share
the Word of GOD with someone today.
I thank you Lord for everything that You
have done in my life and in the lives of my loved ones.
Thank You Lord. Thank You!
Amen

Take Every Thought Captive to the Blessings You Have, Dwell Not on Your "Failures" (11.20.15)
My Child,
Why are you focusing on your failures?
Why are you trying to find a reason to give up,
just short of receiving your blessings?
Do not allow your mind to dwell too long on the mistakes made. Yes, it is okay to recognize failure and learn from it; but it must be done quickly, or you will continue to relive the experience over and over. Recognize what went wrong, repent, and then cast down any thought that is not of Me.
Take every thought captive to the blessings that you have.
If you don’t, you will become what you focus on the most.
You are not a failure, so why continue to think about the mistakes?
You are more than a conqueror; therefore, think about the blessings.
Think about the victories we have won.
I do not condemn you Child, so stop condemning yourself.
Let your mind be on heavenly things.
Think back on past blessings, and the joy they brought you.
Let your focus be on who you are in Christ Jesus.
Focus on Me and the times that I've brought victory,
in the midst of what you thought was an impossible situation.
Yes, think about that, and how you testified to My goodness and mercy.
Think about those things.
My Child, count your blessings, not your failures.
You are not a failure; therefore, focus on your blessings,
no matter how small.....
And watch what happens.
Meditate on His Word:
2 Corinthians 10:5 - Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
Romans 8:1 - There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Romans 8:37 - Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
Philippians 3:13-14 - Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus

Sitting at the Crossroads, Weary... But God Says Now it is the Time to Arise to the Challenge, Go Forth, Press Forward & Walk Into Your Destiny. (11.19.15)
Psalm 46:10 - Be still, and know that I am GOD: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
My Beloved, My Faithful Ones,
... I see your heart, I see your pain, I see your questioning and I also see those of you who are presently sitting at the crossroads weary from the years of waiting.... Waiting to see the fulfillment of My Promises for your life.
Many years ago you said to Me, “Here I am Lord, send me.” You vowed that whatever came your way, you would remain steadfast and loyal on the path set before you. However, at this time, I see many of you sitting at the crossroads; forcing yourselves just to exist, feeling nothing but spiritual and emotional burnout.
Separating yourself because you have felt betrayed, persecuted, and abandoned. The hurt being too much and you have 'shut down'. It has become more 'natural' for you to simply adjust to your surroundings and your circumstances - than to keep standing. Now you are sitting at the crossroads because it became easier to shut yourself off - easier to walk by sight, not by faith. Even though you think I have been silent, I say to you - BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD! I hear you murmur when you say “But FATHER, don't you see what has been happening with me? Don't You see all I’ve been going through? Haven't You seen my faithfulness in these adversities? I have stood all these years longing and waiting for Your promises; and I have lifted up the weary brethren, even though they did not lift me up in return. Father, I can go no further for I have nothing left to give...”
My Beloved Child, yes I see ALL that you have gone through but was it not your desire to give Me your heart -- to be replaced by My Heart? Did you not give Me your dedication? In all this, did I even once say that your journey would be easy?
Beloved, in your heart of hearts you KNOW that all I have
promised you SHALL come to pass -
and that I have chosen you for such a time as this....
I say it is time to arise and go forth.
My Child, you shall see your hurting heart, spirit, body and emotions healed
... and ...you shall see the restitution and restoration of all things.
My Child, it is time to arise!
It is time for you to leave the valley, and arise to the challenge
-- for this is NOT the time for pulling back,
but the time for advancing.
I Am ready to move, MY Child,
will you press forward for the prize set before you?
I chose you, My Beloved, so arise and be ready to see ME move in your life
and in all the lives of My Faithful Ones, for I Am able
to keep that which has been committed to Me.
Arise, My Beloved, arise from this crossroads, stronger in Me
and walk into your destiny.

Acts 16:25-26 - Praise in the Midnight Hour (11.18.15)
My Child,
You feel you are at your midnight hour, as the enemy of your soul says all is lost. However, I say sing praises to Me in this midnight hour. It’s easy for you to sing praises when there’s light, but I Am seeking those who still have a praise on their lips in their midnight hour.
Praise in the midnight hour shall loose the shackles off your feet.
My Child, the midnight hour is set as your hour of deliverance.
Not all of My Children will be ready, so I say unto you - start singing praises.
It is time for your breakthrough.
It is time to triumph over all the enemy has tried to do, to hold you back.
It is not by accident that I have chosen this time to release you
from all of your hurt and pain.
Lift up your eyes, My child.
Lift up your eyes.
A mighty work has been accomplished,
your new day is dawning, and your call made ready.
Lift up your voice and sing.
It’s a new day. And a new hour.
You will look up to the heaven and say, “I cannot believe what the Lord has done.”
And I did it because you sang to Me in the midnight hour.
Meditate on God's Word
Psalm 119:62 - At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.
Acts 16:25-26 - And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto GOD: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.

1 Thessalonians 5:17 - Pray without ceasing. (11.17.15)
My Child,
I know you acknowledge and receive the spiritual gifts and blessings that I’ve poured into your life. However, there is one blessing that I gave you that you are allowing to lie dormant, and it is prayer. You asked Me to pour into your life My Spirit of Prayer, so you could pray as I prayed. So, why aren’t you using this blessing?
My child, I Am calling you to a new level in your prayers.
I Am calling you to persevere in prayer.
I Am calling you to stay before Me until every stronghold
in your life is destroyed, and the enemy is sent fleeing.
Use this blessed gift, and use it now.
A stronger prayer life is needed now more than ever before;
for the enemy is seeking whom he can devour.
Therefore, do not wait until it’s midnight in your life before you call on My Name. Yes, I understand you feel more prayer is needed when you are in a corner, surrounded by impossibilities. However, don’t allow your feelings to lead you astray, for it’s not flesh and blood that seeks to destroy you, it’s spiritual wickedness.
So, you must pray now, and pray in the Spirit.
One of the keys to receiving your miracles is to live a life in constant prayer. If you want to see things change; then pray, study My Word, and continually stay before Me. Stay true to the blessings that I have given you. Live your life as I lived Mine, in constant prayer, and you will see that which you seek shall come to pass.
Therefore, pray and pray without ceasing;
for with Me, all things are possible.
Nothing is impossible with Me.
Pray My child, pray.
Meditate on His Words:
Psalm 55:17 - Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.
Luke 6:12 - And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to GOD.
Luke 18:1 - And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
Ephesians 6:12 - For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Relinquish Your Difficulties into God's Control (11.13.15)
My Child,
I know you have been feeling stuck where you are,
and at times you struggle with being overwhelmed.

Don't wait until you see it to believe.
That which you think about the most shall come to pass.
If you keep thinking that it is over, it will be.
Therefore, whatsoever is good, whatsoever is true, whatsoever is lovely and of a good report, think about them. Think about My goodness, think about My promises until they consume your soul and cause you to believe that it is well.
My Child, in the midst of your trials, keep confessing, “It is well, it is well, it is well with my soul.” No matter what the situation looks like, no matter what the doctor told you, no matter how you feel - never entertain doubt or unbelief.
Shut the mouth of the enemy with My Word.
In the midst of what you’re going through, speak forth My Word and let everyone especially the naysayers know, "It is well, it is well, it is well with my soul."

Trials and tribulations should only prompt you into praise and worship,
that is why I allow them.

I have called you and given you something special.
Therefore, I need you to walk on the path
that I’ve chosen for you, so that you can use your gifts.
Do not hold back, or try to go in a different direction, because you will become confused. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My Ways and thoughts higher than yours. You cannot comprehend the things that I have planned for you, or why I have chosen to bless you in this way.

Stand in faith and be confident in the work that I Am doing.

Stop Professing Your Weakness, Allow God to Strengthen & Revive You (11.9.15)
My Child,
You are not nearly as weak as you think you are.
Don't you know that I will be with you to strengthen you?
My Holy Spirit resides inside of you, and through His indwelling presence, you can do all things. So, you must stop professing your weakness. You say that at times you feel powerless and ineffective. That only happens when you put too much of yourself into the task, and do not rely enough on Me.
Stop leaning on your own strength, and allow Me to strengthen you. Stop trusting in your own ability, and begin to embrace Mine. There is nothing I cannot do through you, if you only submit to Me. Stop depending on your own limited resources, and start tapping into Mine. My resources are unlimited, and they are more than sufficient for any task I have asked you to do.
When you feel weak and worn out,
that is when you should stop fighting
and rest in Me.
This burden will not rest on your shoulders, no matter how much it may feel like it does (and it will). Beloved, bring everything to the Cross and lay it there. My Burden is easy and light. Allow Me to carry the load for you.
Come to Me and rest in Me,
for I Am your source and your inspiration.
I will revive you when you come to Me. And as you bask in My Presence, you will be strengthened and refreshed. I will breathe new life into you. I will restore the Vision I have given you, and cause you to be successful in fulfilling your destiny.
Meditate on God's Word:
Matthew 11:28-30 - Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

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.

Let It Go. You Must Forgive. Let It Go. (11.7.15)
A REMINDER: SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO..... LET IT GO
My Child,
No, that is not for you.
Let it go.
I know you think it is what you need, but you must let it go. It will hurt you if you do not let it go. I have something better for you, but you must let go of the old. I know it felt right, and things appeared to have fallen into place, but things are not always what they seem.
The feelings you have are not from Me.
You are walking after the flesh and not in the Spirit.
Let it go.
I understand you have needs. I understand your feelings, but I do not want this to hurt you, and it will if you do not let it go. Do not allow it to destroy all that you have worked so hard to obtain. I want you to release the pain of the past and move ahead with Me.
You cannot bring the past with you.
You cannot hold onto it while walking with Me.
It has no place with Me.
I Am your future so Let it go.
Forgive.
You must forgive.
Forgive all those who have hurt you. You must let go of that which is not of Me. Remember not the former things, neither consider the things of old. You cannot move forward with Me, while embracing your past. That which is not of Me will lead to destruction so Let It Go.
Didn’t I promise I would do a new thing in you?
I will make a way in the wilderness for you,
if you let it go.
Do not look at what they are doing.
Do not look at what they have.
They are not of Me - you are.
Is it worth your walk with Me? Is it worth the joy that I have given you? Is it worth your salvation, which I died for? It will not open the doors of Heaven, it will only hold you in bondage, therefore you must Let It Go.
I Am all that you need.
Haven’t I always been right on time?
Haven’t I always made a way out of no way?
Why do you doubt Me now?
Stop listening to what they are saying. Why do you care what they say? I Am greater than any circumstance you will ever face. Take your hands off of it, and give it to Me.
Do not look back.
Take My Hand.
Walk with Me .
And Let It Go.
MEDITATE ON HIS WORD
Philippians 3:13-14 - Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of GOD in Christ Jesus.
My Child,
No, that is not for you.
Let it go.
I know you think it is what you need, but you must let it go. It will hurt you if you do not let it go. I have something better for you, but you must let go of the old. I know it felt right, and things appeared to have fallen into place, but things are not always what they seem.

God has Open Doors for You, He is Waiting for You to Trust Him & Walk Through Them (11.6.15)
My Child,
You’ve prayed for open doors.
I made a way out of no way,
and led you to the door,
but you won’t walk through it.
There is a door waiting for you to walk through. This is your door. However, it’s up to you to walk through it. Walk through this door without hesitation, because beyond this door lies greater things.
Don’t allow yourself to think I wouldn’t bless you this way. Remember, I open doors My Way, and sometimes it might seem strange to you — like the doors I opened for Joseph. At first, Joseph didn’t recognize the open door because it led to slavery and prison.
However, when the door swung wide open, it led him directly to the throne room.
Don’t allow your reasoning to talk you out of what I Am doing, and do not limit yourself by the way I used to do things. It’s not unusual for Me to do a new thing. There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do for those who put their Trust in Me.
Do not be afraid to step through the door.
I want to do mighty works through you.
However, I need you to walk through the door.
Beyond this door, I will show you the marvelous things I’ve prepared for you, things you cannot begin to imagine. You will be amazed, others will marvel. However, in order for this to happen, you must be a doer of My Word and walk through the door.
Meditate on God's Word:
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.
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:
James 1:23 - For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
Revelations 3:8 - I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it:
Revelations 3:20 - Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with me.
You’ve prayed for open doors.
I made a way out of no way,
and led you to the door,
but you won’t walk through it.

My Child,
You find yourself faced with a difficult situation, and it is causing you anxiety and stress. I know the last thing you want Me to say to you is to stop and rest. However, that is exactly what I Am saying, because what you are trying to do right now will only make things worse. You will not be able to resolve this in your own strength.
You need Me, so be still and rest in faith.
I know all about this problem - I saw it before you were born. Therefore, don’t you know that I already have the answer? Yes, I have the answer, and I want you to be at peace and Trust Me to work things out for your good.

trust that I know what is best for you.
Have faith in Me beloved, and find rest in My Word.
If you feel you must do something, then read My Word. This will cause your faith to become stronger. Resting in Faith means that no matter what situation may arise, you know beyond the shadow of a doubt that I have worked things out.

and you will hear what I would have you to do.
Now, be at peace, so you can think clearly.
Rest in faith so you can make wise decisions.
Don’t allow your flesh to divert you
in the opposite direction of My Plan,
the Plan I have for your life.
This is why I say to you, in quietness and in confidence will be your strength.
Meditate on God's Word:
Psalm 46:10 - Be still, and know that I am GOD: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
Isaiah 30:15 - For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength..

Isaiah. 32:17 - And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance for ever.

Your Spiritual Stability (11.4.15)
My Child,
Be still and know that I Am GOD.
The enemy desires to burden you with feelings that will undermine your spiritual stability. These feelings include guilt, shame, rejection, fear, and loneliness. Do not entertain these feelings, for they are from the enemy to derail you from your spiritual walk with Me.
If you listen to these lies, they will open a door very wide for the enemy to flood your soul with negativity and depression.
It is important that you stay alert and
be mindful of the enemy's tactics
to destroy your peace.
John 14:27 - Peace I leave with you, My Peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Remember this:
There is nothing that you will face today
that the Lord can't bring you through.
Thank GOD for what you have,
Trust GOD for what you need.
- Marilyn

Look for God's Handprints, for His Presence is Always There (11.3.15)
'For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.' - Jeremiah 29:11
As I read those words in my Bible I was struck once again that these words were spoken to the Jews, who had been taken into captivity in Babylon.
Faith Believers,
They were probably wondering, like never before, if GOD had indeed turned His back on them and abandoned them. Living in exile sure made it look like there was indeed no hope and that they were on their own, alone.
But into that seemingly hopeless situation, GOD spoke to His people through the prophet Jeremiah. He hadn’t forsaken nor abandoned them, the Father was still there with them, in the midst of the darkness. Not only was the Father with them, but He also had plans for them, for a future and hope!
Too often, during trying times when we feel like GOD is silent, we forget that He is still there, always present and omnipresent. Whenever I feel abandoned, forsaken, overwhelmed and alone; I long to hear His voice, but all seems silent.
Yet it is in that dark place that I realized that I need to look for His Handprints, those reminders that Our Father is not only here, in my presence, but that He is working in it. Some days it might be hard to find any signs of His Presence, but as I reflect, I begin to see traces of His Great Wonders reflecting his majesty, autumn leaves reflecting His Handiwork, a timely hug from a friend expressing His Compassion.
Even in your darkest moments, look around for His Handprints and thank the Father for His presence; and the fact that you don’t have to stand alone during your trials and tribulations.
- Marilyn
Heavenly Father,
Thank You that even when I don’t feel
Your Presence close to me,
You are still at work all around me,
leaving Your Handprints on my life.
Help me to remember that
even in the quiet moments,
when I cannot hear Your Voice or see what You are doing,
I must remember that You are ensuring that
all things are working together for my good.
Amen.

Dwell on the Things of God & Trust Him to Work All Things Out (11.2.15)
Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. - Matthew 6: 34
Faith Believers,
Many of us have spent restless hours being anxious about tomorrow. (I know I am guilty of this.) It might have been worrying about a loved one, a reply from a doctor, or waiting to hear if we have gotten a job. It really does not matter what the situation is, many of us have been anxious about things we could do nothing about.
Jesus tells us not to be anxious about things that could happen, because probably there is nothing we can do about them, but pray. He tells us we can't change our statue, or change the length of our life. He said that our Heavenly Father knows what we need. We spend too much time being anxious about tomorrow, and we forget about enjoying today. We are on this earth to have fellowship with Jesus, but if our mind is occupied on worrying about things; we lose the opportunity to enjoy our life which has been given to us this day.
Let us determine to dwell on the things of GOD and to trust Him to work all things out for us. He knows our strengths and our weakness. He will continue to make us strong where we are weak, and to make us stronger where we are strong.
Each day is a gift from Our Father to be blessed and to be a blessing to others. When you become filled with anxiousness, ask the Lord to allow someone to cross your path that you may be a blessing to. When we bless others, we often forget about ourselves and concentrate on helping others. This not only takes our mind off ourselves, but it also helps others, as the Lord has instructed us to do.
GOD is good and He wants us to experience His goodness every day.
Let us be determined to go forward in all He has for us.
Let us be determined not to allow anxiousness to steal the day
that the Lord has made for us to enjoy.
Have a blessed day in the Lord.
