Knock, Ask, Expect, Seek - Do Not Stop Until You have It All (6.30.17)

Beloved,
Do not stop believing or claiming those things I have promised you
      or shown to you in a vision. 
You must have the attitude that you will never let go
      until you move Me to action.

Some things never come into reality because you do not come to Me with shameless persistence and insistence faith.  Once you set your mind that you will have the fulfillment of these visions and promises, never let it go.

Jacob wrestled until the break of day and refused to let go until My Father blessed him.  When Peter was locked away, they prayed without ceasing until I sent angels to release him. And I prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane three times, until My Father heard Me and sent the answer to My prayer.

So, I say to you to knock and keep on knocking. 
Ask and keep on asking. 
Expect and keep on expecting your blessing. 

I guarantee you that the door will eventually open, you will have all you seek, and the blessing will come.

Do not stop until you have it all.



Read and Meditate on God's Word:
Genesis 32:24-26 - And Jacob was left alone, and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh.  And he said I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.

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.

Warrior or Worrier - You Cannot Be Both (6.29.17)

Faith Believers,
Do not worry about fighting the enemy, Jesus defeated him over two thousand years ago. You must resist satan by using the Word of GOD, and by fighting the good fight of faith.

Talk about GOD’s Word. Talk about the goodness of the Lord. Fill your heart and your mouth with joy and praises for the Lord. Thank Him right now for answering your prayers. As you do this, your faith will grow by leaps and bounds. Don’t wait until you see the victory, praise the Lord now!
James 4:7 - Submit yourselves therefore to GOD. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

1 Timothy 6:12 - Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life,

Luke 18:27 - And he said, the things which are impossible with men are possible with GOD.

Jeremiah 32:27 - Behold, I am the LORD, the GOD of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?

Whatever you are believing GOD for, the Word of GOD says
      all things are possible if you will only believe.

It doesn’t matter if you are believing GOD for physical healing, financial healing
      or emotional healing, the Word of GOD says you can have it!

There is Scripture to back up what you’re asking the Lord for,
      then watch over your promises, as you would your child.

Protect your promises from being destroyed by the enemy
      by praying always, and never giving up.


  -  Marilyn

Listen to My Still Small Voice:
My Child,
You can find peace in your surroundings,
        regardless of the turmoil around you.
Set your heart on peace, and let My Peace permeate
      every fiber of your being. 

Do not be afraid. 
No need to worry. 

Take every opportunity to relax, even if it is just for a few minutes, and then re-focus on knowing you have My Spirit to comfort you and lead you to victory. 

You are not alone. 
I will be with you always.
Therefore, do not worry when things do not seem
       to be working out for you. 
Refuse to speak negatively about your circumstances or lose heart,
      but quietly wait for My Leading.

Do not allow unbelief to rule over your life.
If you walk in My Love and let it be your strength,
      you will know there’s nothing to fear and no need to worry. 

Now, you must decide if you are going to be a warrior or a worrier.

If you’re going to pray, don’t worry. 
If you’re going to worry, why pray?
Remember this: Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.


Read and Meditate on God's Word:
Matthew 6:31-34 - Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?  (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of GOD, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. 


Mark 9:23 - Jesus said unto him, “If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth”.


Luke 18:1 - And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint.

Stand as Joshua Stood, and Be Grounded in God's Word (6.28.17)

My Child,
As Joshua stood on My Word and trusted in Me completely, I Am calling you to stand boldly on My Promises as well.

Joshua knew the Word, and he spoke it day and night. He had such faith in My Words, that He commanded the sun and the moon to stop; so they could win the battle. Because of his faith in Me, I did what man could never comprehend, I fought the battle for him.  

My Child, if you desire to see miracles, and if you desire to receive more, then stand as Joshua stood and be grounded in My Word. Start reading My Word daily and the Holy Spirit will speak to you. 
Let My Word be your daily bread, and you will experience living waters from the promises I have spoken.   

Little One, I want to increase your anointing.
I want to increase My Power in your life.

Therefore, step out boldly and seek Me as you come to Me in faith, expecting to receive. When you step out on My Word, new doors will open before you, like never before. 

You will decrease, and I will increase.
People will see Me in you, and with Me abiding in you,
   nothing shall be impossible.

Read and Meditate on God's Word:
Joshua 1:8 - This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. 

Joshua 10:12-13 - Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon. And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So, the sun stood still in the midst of heaven and hasted not to go down about a whole day. 

Joshua 10:14 - And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel. 

John 7:38 - He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

God's Peace is a Peace that Surpasses All Understanding (6.26.17)

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to GOD.  And the peace of GOD, which transcends all understanding, will guard your heart and your mind in Christ Jesus - Philippians 4:6-7


Faith Believers,
When we pray in the midst of our trials,
      and when we have a heart of thanksgiving and praise
      in the midst of our circumstances,
      something unusual and supernatural happens.

A sense of peace will come from outside of ourselves and will provide us with what we need to walk through the difficult situation.  This is the peace of GOD. 

What does it do?  It guards our hearts and minds to help us remember the truth of GOD’s faithfulness, provision, and love; so that we will reject the lies satan wants to plant in us. 

Praying and praising takes us far above our circumstances. 

Do you need peace today?  Ask GOD for peace.  Praise GOD for His Promise to never leave His Children during their time of need. Regardless of what you are going through, and no matter how impossible your situation may appear to be; GOD has promised to give you a peace that will surpass all understanding, if you will just come to Him in prayer and trust Him.
  -  Marilyn


  ~ Prayer ~
Father,
I thank You that You promised Your peace to us,
    a peace that is far beyond anything I can ever imagine.

I thank You, and praise You, for Your goodness
    and Your faithfulness to me. 

I claim right now that peace that You promised in Your Word,
    that peace that transcends knowledge and understanding. 

I Bless Your Holy Name Father,
     for You are worthy to be praised! 

Amen

Expect to Be Blessed (6.25.17)

Faith Believers,
I shared this before, but the Lord wants to remind us to HAVE FAITH IN HIS WORD WHEN YOU PRAY. EXPECT TO RECEIVE, EXPECT HIM TO ANSWER
 - Marilyn

 

My Child,
I have promised that all your needs shall be met
     and I will not turn a deaf ear to your cries.

When you call Me, I will hear and I will answer.

I want you to start expecting to receive an answer. Expect to hear My Voice, expect to be blessed. Why do you pray and you do not get ready to be blessed?  You pray without expectation. You should know by now, My Promises are true. I Am Jehovah Jireh, Your Provider.


I need you to trust Me.
Let Me lead and guide you.

I long to whisper words of love and affection in your ear. I promised that I would not leave you comfortless. You must believe that what you have asked for, will come to pass.

You must not doubt.
Expect to be blessed.

Trust in Me, do not be moved by what your circumstances
     dictate, and do not be moved by what you feel.
 


Be confident that My Son has risen in your midst to bring healing, to bring salvation, to bring victory and to counsel to those in need. Even now, My Son is interceding for you, and as God, The Father, I heareth My Son's prayers.  I expect you to pray to My Son, and you must expect to receive your blessings when you pray.

Know that I have heard your prayers,
      and I Am bringing all you ask, to pass.
I Am bringing about a complete change in your life.
Trust in Me and believe that I Am faithful
      to do those things I have promised to do.

Expect Me to bring the natural in alignment with the spiritual.

I Am the GOD of Abraham, the GOD of Isaac, the GOD of Moses. 
Is there anything too hard for Me?
EXPECT TO BE BLESSED





Read and Meditate on God's Word:
Jeremiah 32:27 - Behold, I am the LORD, the GOD of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me? 

Mark 11:23-24 - For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore, I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. 

2 Corinthians 1:20 - For all the promises of GOD in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of GOD by us.

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

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

Hebrews 10:23 - Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

Where You Are Now, Is Not Where You Are Going to Be..... (6.23.17)

My Child,
I want you to be prepared to move, as the Spirit leads.

Do not become so complacent that you do not want to accept the changes I Am about to do in your life. the enemy will use this against you, and it will hinder your walk with Me. Refuse to allow the enemy to paralyze you with anything. he has not stopped you from moving forward; it is only a delay. And if you look closely, it is only in certain areas of your life, which I have allowed. Think about it.

 
All this has left you uncertain about so many things. Now, the fear of making the wrong choices has hindered and crippled your faith in Me. I say to you this day, be not dismayed; there are other things you need to move ahead on. I do not want you to try to force anything open.

Seek My Wisdom and Guidance in everything that you do.

Do not become so obsessed with what seems to be blocked,
     that you miss the new thing I Am trying to do in your life.

Yes, I Am doing something new.

 
I want you to stop thinking negative, and stop allowing the enemy to control your thoughts. When you allow the enemy to control your thinking, it only reinforces the enemy's control over your life; and he has done that for too long. Do not allow him to do this anymore.

Rise up and rebuke him in My Name!
From this moment on, I want you to stop uttering
     those discouraging words that so easily come to mind.

 
I know frustrations and trials have left you weary; and discouragement has crept in overnight. However, now is the time for you to hunger and thirst for more of Me like never before. You must enter into spiritual warfare to break hindrances and destroy strongholds.

Seek My face and confess every sin - even sins of doubt, fear, and anxiety. Once you do this, then I Will hear from Heaven and I Will lift you out, and over, every obstacle the enemy has tried to bring against you.

And remember, where you are now
     is not where you are going to be.


 
 

Read and Meditate on God's Word:
2 Samuel 22:20 - He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me because he delighted in me.

Isaiah 43:18-19 - Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. 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. 

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;

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.

The Time for Change has Come (6.21.17)

My Child,
The time for change has come, and you are about to have a significant breakthrough in many areas in your life and circumstances.  It’s the beginning of a new season where you can begin again. Your life will never be the same, and I have things to teach and to show you that you could not receive until now. 

So many times, you tried to come out of your wilderness season by your power, and you could not understand why I kept you there.  However, now, completely healed, and with your past behind you; we now enter into a new season.   And as you enter into this season, understanding will come, and you will see the full purpose of your wilderness training.  Now, you will see that it is not by your power that you’re coming out; and it is not by your power that you are standing strong, it is by Mine.  


You were being prepared for such a time as this, that you may go forth into the field, for the harvest is ready.

Continue to spend time in our secret place, soaking in My presence, to be strengthened for the journey; and you will not become overwhelmed by the direction I’ve chosen for you.  


Remember to value the times ahead, do not waste them, cherish them, and give thanks. 

Embrace and optimize every chance given to grow in wisdom and understanding
    as you receive greater spiritual insight, so that you can be a blessing to others. 


Therefore, keep your eyes on Me.
D
o not look back, humbly walk on the straight and narrow path
   I Have ordained for you. 

Your time for change 
has come, and there's so much Work to do. 
 

Read and Meditate on God's Word:
Deuteronomy 8:2 - And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy GOD led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments or no. 

Zechariah 4:6b - "Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit," Says the LORD of hosts.


Matthew 9:37 - Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few;

1 Peter 5:10 - But the GOD of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.


Proverbs 4:7 - Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

Proverbs 4:25-27 - Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on what lies before you. Mark out a straight path for your feet; stay on the safe path.  Don’t get sidetracked; keep your feet from following evil.

It is Your Time. It is Your Season. Worry No More, Go Forth, It is Not Too Late.... (6.20.17)

My Child,
You cannot remain hidden anymore.

I have poured much into you,
   and now it's your time to come forth.

the enemy unleashed an attack against you to discourage you and to hinder My Work. However, you cannot allow his pitiful stumbling blocks to 
get in the way of the Work I gave you to do. 

I know that at first you didn’t recognize what he was doing; nevertheless, when you persevered in prayer and surrendered all to Me, you gave Me the chance to expose his work.

Now, you see what he’s doing, and
   I want you to know this is not the end of you.

It is your time.  It is your season.


I know this has been hard for you, and at times you may have felt like I turned away from you. My Child, I’ve heard every prayer you prayed, and I’ve seen the tears you cried. I never left you. If I had left your side you would not have been able to cry out, “Hallelujah anyhow, and Hallelujah, Lord.”

You could praise 
Me, because I was with you, I never left you. I was ministering to your spirit; whispering words of encouragement to let you know that I heard every word you said.

You are not defeated.
It will be as I promised.
It will be according to My Will.

My Words shall come forth, and they will bless many.  Worry no more about what it look like because My Words will do the work. You must be ready to go forth and no, it is not too late for your dreams to come to pass. Time and age mean nothing to Me, for I Am in control of everything. 


Fret no more, My child.
All is well.

Let My Word flow through you and come forth; and it will be
    greater than you can imagine.

Now is the time for My Work to come forth.




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. 

Colossians 3:23-24 - And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.

1 Peter 3:14 - But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; 


2 Peter 3:8-9 - But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Luke 6:27-28 - Love Your Enemies (6.19.17)

But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you - Luke 6:27-28

Faith Believers,
One of the most amazing commands of Christ is to love our enemies.

In our flesh, we naturally want to retaliate or fight back when we are treated unkindly or persecuted. Jesus preached forgiveness and mercy: “Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful” (Luke 6:36). His lifestyle demonstrated grace, that ours might also.

Then Jesus took His command one step further, “Pray for those who persecute you” (Matthew 5:44b). It is important to have a firm foundation upon which to train your children to love their enemies; so that they will also know Jesus as their Savior and Lord. 
 
Because of GOD’s mercy, we were saved.
Therefore, we must extend His mercy to those
     who are still enemies of GOD; so that they might
     also receive what we have been given.
  - Marilyn


~ Prayer ~
Gracious GOD,
It isn’t easy to love people who are unkind,
   but because Jesus demonstrated this ultimate love
   while hanging on the cross, I am compelled to do likewise. 

May I show His mercy and grace
   to those who persecute or mistreat me
   so they will see You in me.

Amen

A Father's Day Prayer (6.18.17)

GOD,
Bless all the fathers in the world.
Guide them to be good role models
      and loving to all their children.
Help them to be a father, like You are,
       to all of your children.

Give them grace and patience to handle situations in a loving way.

Thank you, Jesus, for my father who loves me, for my grandfather who cares for me and for GOD, Your father and mine, who made me; and is always with me. Your love is truly a blessing! 

GOD our Father, in Your wisdom and love, You made all things.

Bless these men that they may be strengthened as Christian fathers. May their sons and daughters honor them always with a spirit of profound respect. Your Word says that all children will honor their mother and their father that their days may be longer. 
 
I thank you Lord for all dads, please take care of them as they age gracefully but are still brave and bold. Father GOD, there are so many fathers who were absent from the lives of their children but bless these fathers anyway Lord. Father GOD there were so many fathers who abused their children and did not love and protect them in the way Your Word says they should, but bless them anyway so they may see and experience Your Love in a way that will make them want to live their lives for you always.

Strengthen and protect them as they carry out their duties as father, husband and protector over the family You have blessed them with.

In the name of Jesus Christ,
Amen


Fathers everywhere we honor you
     and may GOD's blessings be with you
     in a special way today!

Forgive (6.16.17)

My Child,
Be still and discern what’s hindering your walk in the Spirit.
However, I think you already know the answer.
There are people you must forgive, and issues to release,
       so that you can be free to move with My Spirit unhindered.

the enemy will use bitterness and unforgiveness to defile you and everything you represent. Set watch and do not allow disagreement and unforgiveness to hinder My Purposes in and around your life.
 
Please forgive.
Forgive as I have forgiven you.

Sit still before Me so that you can understand how important it is for you to remain clear - spiritually, mentally and emotionally - of anything not pleasing in My Sight. Otherwise, there will be things in the natural realm that will drain your physical and spiritual energy.

Forgive and refuse to be controlled by negative
     influences that may come against you.
Take some time right now to deal with
     all unforgiveness so you can receive My Blessings.
 
 
Read and Meditate on God's Word:
Matthew 6:14 - If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you.

Mark 11:25 - But when you are praying, first forgive anyone you are holding a grudge against, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your sins, too.
 
Luke 17:4 - Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
 
Colossians 3:13 - Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
