Never Losing Hope, Taking the Limits Off of God & Trusting Him to Honor His Word (5.31.17)

My Child,
You just came through a rough trial, and it turned out just as I told you it would, didn't it?

In fact, it turned out even better than you could have ever imagined.  I know it took longer than you expected, but the blessing came right when you needed it the most. There are always reasons why blessings are delayed, so be patient.

My Child, before a blessing can come to pass, things must be worked out in your life to prepare you to receive it. I know in the beginning it was hard to believe that anything good would happen, because of the way things looked. 

However, look at how things turned out,
      and they turned out this way because you
      turned it over to Me, and stood on your faith.

I Am so pleased that you didn’t become weary and faint at the tribulations which came against you. Instead, you exercised greater faith in Me, and I strengthened you by My Spirit. You took your hands off the situation and trusted Me to do the impossible, and My Child; that's exactly what happened, I did the impossible in your life.

You knew that greater faith required absolute surrender. 
You knew in order to have greater faith you had to let go of worldly thoughts
     and be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

That’s the only way you can prove what is the good, and acceptable, and My Perfect Will.

It pleases Me that you never lost hope. 
You took the limits off of Me and trusted Me to honor My Word.

Now, because of your love for Me, you’re abounding in greater faith. 


 



Read and Meditate on His Word
Romans 12:2 - And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of GOD. 

Ephesians 3:20 - Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, 

2 Corinthians 4:16 - For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. 

Galatians 6:9 - And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 

Luke 1:37 - For with GOD nothing shall be impossible.

 

God has Moved on Your Behalf to Take You to a New Level in Your Journey. Be Not Surprised Nor Dismayed. Trust Him Completely. (5.30.17)

My Child,
I Am bringing change into your life.  Therefore, please don’t be surprised by the sudden change of events, or by the the realization that the path you were traveling is no longer there.  I changed your path to prevent you from going through further difficulties, and to bring you to a place where you can have access to the things you need, to reach your goals. 

Do not be dismayed by this change,
      remember I know your end from the beginning,
      so embrace what I’m doing.

I need you to trust Me completely and know that I Am doing this because I love you and I desire to bless you.  I will never withhold any good thing from you.  It’s My desire to see you reach your destiny.  Therefore, I moved on your behalf to take you to a new level in your journey.  On this new path, I want you to leave your old plans behind and embrace the new thing I Am doing in your life. There’s no doubt, it will please you.

It’s important that you keep your eyes on Me, follow My Leading,
      and you will see My new plans unfold before you.  

You haven’t traveled this way before, and this journey will be the one that will glorify My Name, just like you wanted to do.  You see, I know your heart and I know how much you desire to please Me.  It’s because of this desire that I will even provide you with things which you did not ask of Me.  It pleases Me to bless you in a greater measure than you ever expected.

So, embrace the change I Am bringing
     into your life, and begin now to praise Me for it.
 

Read and 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. 

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.

Romans 8:28 - And we know that all things work together for good to them that love GOD, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Ephesians 3:20 - Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us. 

The Privilege of Praying in Jesus' Name (5.29.17)

Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete - John 16:24

Faith Believers,
By offering to let us pray in His Name, Jesus is offering us an amazingly great privilege. It’s as if He is giving us blank checks to be drawn on His account, knowing that 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 automobiles, 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.
-  Marilyn

~ Prayer ~
Lord Jesus,
Thank You for the powerful privilege
     of using Your Name to accomplish Your purposes
     in and for the Kingdom of God. 

May I be a good steward of all You have entrusted to me.
Amen

---

Praise the name of GOD (Matthew 6:9)!
Thank GOD for revealing his name to you through his Word and Spirit (Exodus 3:15). 
Confess times when you have misused the name of GOD in word or deed. 
Commit yourself to living in a way which hallows GOD’s name.

Ask GOD to glorify His majestic Name in all the earth (Psalm 8:1).

Amen!!!! 

Be Obedient, Practice Effective Prayer, Thank Him, Confess, Commit & Plant Your Feet Firmly in God's Word Every Day (5.28.17)

We have confidence before GOD and receive from him anything we ask, because we obey his commands and do what pleases him - 1 John 3:21-22

Faith Believers,
Obedience is fundamental to effective prayer.
Only people who obey GOD have the right
     to go into His presence with requests.
GOD delights in the prayers of his obedient children.

When we want what GOD wants, and when we live the way He likes; then the Holy Spirit will place, in our hearts, prayers that GOD will answer.

If we expect GOD to do for us what we ask, we should be prepared to do for GOD what He asks. If we read and obey His Word, GOD will hear our prayers. Often when we do not receive an answer for something we have prayed for, we assume the problem is with GOD, while in reality the problem may really be with us.

Praise GOD as the Rock, your stronghold and fortress (Psalm 144:1-2). 
Thank Him for being a solid foundation on which to stand spiritually,
     so that nothing can shake you (Matthew 7:24-25).

Confess those times in your life when you have stepped off the
     rock solid foundation of GOD’s Word, and relied on your own understanding.
Commit yourself to building your life on Christ’s teachings.
Ask GOD to help you plant your feet firmly
     in His Word each day.

~ Prayer ~
Gracious Father,
I give You praise for Your generous, giving nature.

Forgive me for failing to keep Your Commands
     and forgive me for not doing what pleases You. 

Help me to pray for those things which are
     in perfect alignment with Your Will for my life
     and for the glory of Your Kingdom.

Amen

Doors Are Opening, It's a New Season, You Must Recapture the 'Gifting & Flow' You Once Embraced. (5.25.17)

My Child,
I want you to prepare to make some of the most important decisions of your life, as I present opportunities to you that you could never have imagined. 

You will have choices to make in the days ahead that have the potential to change the landscape of your life forever.  I plan to establish you and bless you in ways that will remove even the vaguest remembrance of your past struggles and disappointments.
 
In this new season, you must recapture the gifting and flow
       that you once embraced.  
Because time, and the circumstances you endured,
       caused you to lose confidence and faith in Me. 
However, the work I began in you, never stopped. 

Now it’s coming alive and is waiting for you to reclaim what is rightfully yours.

Can you see the new doors that I Am opening for you? 
These open doors are bringing prospects for a future you never dreamed of,
      and some are coming by ways that will amaze you.  
 
It is very important that you continue to stay in My presence, and seek Me for wisdom, so that you can choose wisely.  I will be there to supply your needs; therefore, do not be afraid to ask and seek help whenever you need it.

Remember, you cannot do this alone. 
So, be open and completely yielded to Me in all things
      and your journey through the open doors will go as planned.
 

Read and Meditate on God's Word
Romans 8:18 - For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 

Romans 11:29 - For the gifts and calling of GOD are without repentance. 

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 1:5 - If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of GOD, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 

Revelations 3:8 - I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it:

 

Have Faith in God, Trust Him to Provide and Stand Firm on His Word (5.24.17)

My Child,
I want you to decide in your heart this day to live for Me.
I Am asking you to lay down your life, for the sake of My Gospel.

As you lay down your life,
     you will enter into a new life.

When you give up living for the things this world has to offer, then you will become free to let Me live through you. This is what I am asking of you - that you turn your attention to Me, look away from your troubles and begin to focus on Me. When you do this, your mind will rebuke the negative circumstances and be renewed with hope and faith in Me.

Put your trust in Me and you will not be affected by what you see happening around you.

Delight yourself in Me, and I will give you the desires of your heart. Know and understand that My Ways are high above the ways of man; and that I can make a way, when man says there is no way.  I Am faithful to keep My promises.

So, come to Me, all who are heavy laden, and I will give you rest from the storms that trouble you. 

Have faith in Me.
Trust Me to provide.
Then stand firm on My Word.

The Real Danger is Being Unaware of the enemy's schemes (5.23.17)

Put on the full armor of GOD, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes - Ephesians 6:11

Faith Believers,
the enemy of our GOD has become our enemy.
We are not in a neutral position.

When worshippers gather as the church, we become a real threat to satan. We are there to worship, to pray, to teach, to instruct and to encourage one another to live and proclaim the kingdom of GOD; and to proclaim the enemy’s defeat. It is apparent that he will do all he can to prevent that from happening.

The real danger for us is being unaware of the enemy’s schemes. We approach every difficulty in church as though it’s just a natural thing.

When churches divide over whether or not to sing traditional hymns or contemporary songs, it is not natural.
When the flock turns on the shepherd, it is not natural.
When the shepherd lies or misleads the congregation(s) the Lord has entrusted to him or her, it is not natural.
When Christians, who are called to live in love, spend their time criticizing and accusing one another; it is not natural. 
When these things happen, rest assured that the devil has come to church!
  -   Marilyn

~ Prayer ~
Lord,
I know how much You love Your Church.

Because of that great love, please help us to wake up
    and begin to understand the schemes of the enemy
    against Your people.

Give us insight into the spiritual attacks against the Bride of Christ.

Show us how to pray in a way that sets the devil to flight
     and brings the overcoming power of Your Victory
     into our congregations.

Amen

Things are Happening Suddenly, therefore Be Not Slow to Act (5.22.17)

My Child,
Things are happening suddenly, just like I told you
     they would, therefore be not slow to act. 

Do what I taught you to do, and write things down.  You have important dates and tasks coming, and I don’t want you to forget your obligations. 

Commit all to Me, then trust Me to help you keep your calendar.  A lot of the events are from Me; therefore, it’s important that you take care of those things first.  Some of the things which are not of Me, you will need to discard.  If you are not sure what to discard, ask Me and I will show you.  I don’t want you to spend a lot of time on those things that do not come from Me.


Be at peace, stay prayerful and anxiety will not be able to trouble your spirit.

Follow My Lead and you will accomplish those things which I have decided will be part of your destiny.

Psalm 37:5 - Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him, and he shall bring it to pass. 

Proverbs 16:3 - Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.

James 1:5 - If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of GOD, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

Truly Praying in Faith (5.19.17)

If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask GOD, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.  But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind - James 1:5-6

Faith Believers,
GOD does not want us simply to toss requests at him, hoping that some of them will be answered.

He want us to ask, knowing that He is there, claiming what He has promised and trusting that His Will is achieved in our life. That’s praying in faith.

When you ask a person for something in good faith, you usually would not ask for something the person would not be willing to give. Similarly, if you truly know GOD, you should ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to you GOD's Will for your life.

If you want to grow strong in prayer and faith; get to know GOD better.
If you want to get to know GOD better, spend time with Him, read His Word
      and following the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

  -  Marilyn


~ Prayer ~
Father,
Draw me closer to You today, so that my requests
   will be in line with Your Perfect Will. Keep my prayers focused upon
   Your Kingdom come, Your Will be done
   - rather than upon my own selfishness.

I want to know You, Lord GOD!
Give me the discipline I need to study and learn Your Word,
   help me to spend time with You and help me
   to listen to the voice of  the Holy Spirit!  

Amen

 

Trust God for Wisdom & Direction; and He Will Show You Which Path to Take (5.18.17)

Beloved, 
I Am the same yesterday, today and forever.

Therefore, when things seem completely beyond your ability, come to Me, the Rock of your faith.

When everything seems to be spinning out of control, make Me your place of peace and solace. Come into My Presence to receive healing and restoration from the demands on your time and energy. Trust Me for wisdom and direction; and I will show you on which path you should take.  

My Child, do not be pressured into doing everything all at once. 
Seek wisdom and pace yourself, taking things one day at a time.

Be strong and remember this, I Am your source of life and strength during your time of need. If you’re not sure about something, seek Me first. Yes, seek Me and you will find solace and directions for the next step. 

There are times when all you will need to do is be quiet
       and take your hands off everything.
The situation you are facing now is one of those times.

Let Me carry your burdens, let Me lighten your load as you bring everything to Me in prayer.  I want you to stay focused on the things that will build you up and not tear you down.

Therefore, come to Me and lay everything down
       at the foot of the cross, as I renew your spirit.


Read and Meditate on God's Word

Psalm 73:26 - My flesh and my heart faileth: but GOD is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

God has not Forsaken You. The Father is with You. Hold on to His Hand. (5.17.17)

My Child,
You have been feeling so alone.
I see and feel the hurt and grief of your heart.
Right now, there is no one in the physical to hold you,
      no one to touch or who you can touch.
Nothing could be further from the truth that you are alone.
I have not forsaken you. 
I Am with you.

I know that I Am not there with a body, with skin and bones; but I want you to feel My Presence and know that I will never leave you.  Do not listen to what the enemy is trying to tell you.  I never left you. I never turned away.  I Am with you, and I promised to be with you always. I’ve never forsaken one promise.

Don’t turn away from Me, but cling to who I Am. 
Hold on to My Hand. 

If only you could see and experience the invisible, you would see Me right there by your side, smiling and holding you affectionately, just at the time you need it. 

Let nothing separate you from My Love. 
I want you to know that all is well. 
Even though you cannot see it, and may not feel like it; all is well. 

I Am with you, please do not turn away beloved.


Read and Meditate on God's Word
John 20:29 (NLT) - Then Jesus told him, "You believe because you have seen me. Blessed are those who believe without seeing me."
 
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.
 
Romans 8:38-39 (NLT) - And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from GOD's love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow-not even the powers of hell can separate us from GOD's love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below-indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of GOD that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

 

I Promise.... (5.16.17)

My Child,
I know you’ve been plummeted by many storms, so I want to encourage you
      - this day - to strengthen yourself in the Lord.
Continue to be steadfast; and be not moved from
      what you know to be true... My Word. 
For the seeds of My Promises, which you have been faithfully watering
      with prayer and praise, will soon bloom. 
I promise.

My Word has gone forth, and just as the rain and snow come down from heaven, and do not return without watering the earth; so it is with what I have spoken to you.   My Word will not return empty, it will accomplish what I desire and achieve its purpose. 
I promise.

I want you to turn your focus away from your limited view of the natural, and look into the eternal truth of My Word.  Stand, and take hold of those promises I’ve given you; for in My Timing, you will soon see your seeds of faith flourish into full maturity.  

Starting now, welcome your promises from a distance, enter into a spirit of praise and thanksgiving, and greet your promises as if they were already knocking on your door. I've heard your prayers, now stay in agreement with My Word and speak "Amen" to them. 

So, be patient in this present time of suffering, and persevere as Job did.  
For I Am full of compassion and mercy,
      and you will soon see your prayers come to pass.
I promise.
 

Read and Meditate on God's Word
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.

2 Corinthians 1:20 - For all the promises of GOD in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of GOD through us.

Hebrews 6:13-15 - For when GOD made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself, Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise

 

A Mother's Day Prayer (5.14.17)

Most Gracious Heavenly Father,
We thank You for our mothers, to whom You have entrusted the care of every precious human life from its very beginning in the womb.

You have given women the capacity of participating with You in the creation of new life. Grant that every woman may come to understand the full meaning of that blessing, which gives her an unlimited capacity for selfless love for every child she may be privileged to bear, and for all Your children.

Watch over every mother who is with child, strengthen her faith in Your Fatherly Care and strengthen Your love for her and for her unborn baby. Give her courage in times of fear or pain; understanding in times of uncertainty and doubt; and hope in times of trouble. Grant her joy in the birth of her child.

To mothers:
You have been given the great privilege and responsibility of being a child's first teacher and spiritual guide.
Grant that all mothers may worthily foster the faith of their children, following the example of Mary, Elizabeth, and other holy women who follow Christ.
Help mothers to grow daily in knowledge and understanding of Your Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, and grant them the wisdom to impart this knowledge faithfully to their children, and to all who depend upon them.

Father God, assist all "spiritual mothers."  Those who, though they may have no children of their own, nevertheless selflessly care for the children of others of every age and stage in life. Grant that they may know the joy of fulfilling this motherly calling of women; whether in teaching, nursing, religious life, or in other work which recognizes and fosters the true dignity of every human being created in Your image and likeness.

We beseech You to send Your Holy Spirit, the Comforter, to all mothers whose hearts may be broken for a child (or children) that have died, are ill, are estranged from their families, or who are in trouble or danger of any kind. Help grieving mothers to rely on Your Tender Mercy and Fatherly Love for all Your children.

We ask for Your Blessing on all those to whom You have entrusted motherhood.

May Your Holy Spirit constantly inspire and strengthen them.

May they forever follow the example of Mary, mother of Our Lord; and imitate her fidelity, her humility, and her self-giving love.

May all mothers receive Your Grace abundantly in this earthly life, and may they look forward to eternal joy in Your Presence in the life to come.

We ask this through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one GOD, world without end. 

 

Amen

Trust in God's Word (5.12.17)

My Child,
I have spoken to you through My written Word. 
I have spoken to you through My prophetic Word.
I have given you dreams and visions to assure you of
     My Promises to you of provision and protection. 

All you have to do is put your trust in Me and believe what I have spoken. Trust Me in all things, and do not worry.  Trust Me, even when things seem chaotic, I Am with you.  I Will lead you in the path of righteousness, and establish you on the road to destiny.

Stay grounded in the Truth of My Word, and refuse to allow fear to have a place in your heart. Refuse to allow doubt and unbelief undermine or destroy your faith.  When the world around you is inconsistent and unreliable, I Am your place of stability. 

Let Me lead you and direct your steps, and only then will peace reign in your heart.

Trust Me to show you the way that will bring about all that is in your best interests; so that you will fulfill your purpose within My Kingdom. I Will not leave you nor forsake you.  I Will remain faithful and I Will perform My Word.

So, stand your ground, and be of good courage.  

Be strong in the Lord, draw close to Me and believe.
Waiver not in your faith.
Only trust in My Word, My child.

God is Always with You (5.11.17)

My Child,
I know you feel alone right now.  My child, I Am here to encourage you and to remind you, that you are not walking this path alone. I want you to know nothing can separate you from My Great Love for you.

You are never alone, no matter how alone or isolated
    you may feel.
I Am always with you.
 
My Presence is surrounding you, and at this very moment, there are angels on assignment to minister encouragement to you.   I Am always watching over you.   I Am with you always, even though you may say that you cannot sense My nearness; I Am with you. 

Never forget that I Am with you.

Do not allow what you’re going through to cause you to feel I have forsaken you.  Do not give up on Me.  And do not believe the lies from the enemy when he tells you that I have forgotten you.  I love you.  I care about all that you are going through. 

I Am faithful, and I promise you, you will get through this.

My promises are My Word, and My Word is My promise.  
I’ve never failed to keep My Word.
I always keep My promises.
I love you, and I Am with you always, even unto the end.

Whatever Work God is Doing in Your Life, His Message is Clear: "Do not Give Up in the Battle. I Will Answer On Time." (5.10.17)

Faith Believers,
I remind you, now is not the time for you to give up. 
Although the battle may be raging, do not give up on the Lord. 

He was, is, and always will be the Alpha and the Omega; the One who sees the end from the beginning.  He saw your life, your victories and defeats; your trials and your times of joy, before you were even born. In His Holiness, He said, "With men, it is impossible, but with Me all things are possible."

You were called and fashioned from the Lord, out of the depths of His Being.  He knew what He was doing, and He did not make any mistakes. Whatever work the Lord is doing in your life right now, His message today is clear, "Do not give up in the battle; I will answer on time.”

When you're advancing in GOD's Plans, you are a threat to the kingdom of darkness. The enemy of your soul is not happy with what you are doing for GOD’s Kingdom.  After all, he came to steal, kill and destroy; not to build you up.  Therefore, do not allow his attacks to surprise you; and do not be caught off guard, without your armour on. You must stand firm at all times, gird the loins of your faith and with the whole armour of the Lord. 

Do not give up in the battle -
    for there is no victory without first a struggle,
    no testimony without a test.

Walk in the authority of GOD, through the grace He has given you, through the shed blood of His Son, Jesus Christ.  And do not give up in the battle for your loved ones.  The Lord has not given up on you.  Love them, intercede, faithfully pray and stand in the gap for them. 

One by one, they all will come to know Jesus and accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior. 
Love them as Christ loves you.
They need your love.
Do not give up on them,
     for GOD will answer your prayers,
     and it will be on time.

- Hear God's Still Small Voice -

My Children,
To you of My Children whom I love,
I Am faithful to My Promises;
I say, do not give up. 

I know you have tarried long in this season for your vision, and you may barely see the fruit of the promise.  However, hold fast to that which you already have. I, the Lord your God, Am faithful, the Words that I speak are true.  

Hold fast to that which I have revealed and promised you, for surely it will come to pass in My Time.

Do not give up on what you know to be true.
Your labor in Me has not been in vain.
 
Your trials were not in vain, for I Am doing a cleansing and a purging that shall be for My Glory. 

Therefore, I say to you again, do not give up in the battle.  
I will answer on time and will answer abundantly.

Now, It Is Time to Seek the Lord! (5.9.17)

Sow for yourselves righteousness, reap the fruit of unfailing love, and break up your unplowed ground; for it is time to seek the LORD, until he comes and showers righteousness on you - Hosea 10:12

Faith Believers,
Now is time to seek the Lord!

When we experience periods of spiritual dryness, we look for answers in many places. But GOD’s Word directs us to seek the Lord, for He is a very present help in time of troubles.

You may say, “But I’m already a Christian, why should I seek the Lord?”

The sad truth is, we all have a tendency to move away from His Presence. We find ourselves spiritually dry and wonder why such things could happen to a believer. The Lord’s presence must be continually sought after. Complacency and the natural tendency we have towards becoming distracted by the affairs of this world require us again and again to seek the Lord.

Whenever there is spiritual drought and you need to hear from the Lord, your response should be, “It is time to seek the Lord!”

Seeking requires effort.
It should not be a vague desire but a consuming passion.
It requires persevering through prayer.


~ Prayer ~Gracious Father,
It is so easy to become distracted by the things of the world
when my heart should be set on Your Plans and Purposes.

Pour a renewed passion within my heart to seek Your Face
and to live in Your Presence continually,
regardless of  my circumstances.

I love You, trust You and worship You Lord. 
Amen

 

Bless the Name of the Lord at ALL Times (5.8.17)

"I will bless the Lord at all times."

My Child,
This should be your thought, no matter what happens in your life.  Whenever faced with a trial or test, praise should be your first step.  Yes, before you cry out "in distress" to Me, let a praise of thanksgiving rise up to the Heavens.

Do this always. 
Even in the most difficult circumstances,
    take the time to search for the smallest thing
    to be grateful for, and begin to praise Me. 
When praises come forth from your lips,
    you begin to defeat the enemy.

You send the enemy fleeing from your presence, and you open a line of communication between you and Me.  Then, you will find, that I Will do My Part and abundant blessings will begin to flow.

Oh, what joy you bring to My Heart when you overcome the enemy with Praises to Me.  

Take time to delight yourself in Me,
    and watch the desires of your heart come forth. 
Take time to search for joy, every day of your life. 
Hunt for it (joy), like hidden treasure.  

Right now, enter into a Spirit of Praise and Thanksgiving, in the midst of what you’re going through; and destroy the works of the enemy.

Oh, bless My Name at all times.  Make a joyful noise unto Me, the Lord your God, and watch Me deliver you from all your fears.
