#ScriptureReflection - Acts of the Apostles 20:13-17 #PentecostSeason (5.31.22)

 Paul Meets the Ephesian Elders

13  Paul went by land to Assos, where he had arranged for us to join him, while we traveled by ship. 14  He joined us there, and we sailed together to Mitylene. 15  The next day we sailed past the island of Kios. The following day we crossed to the island of Samos, and a day later we arrived at Miletus.

16  Paul had decided to sail on past Ephesus, for he didn’t want to spend any more time in the province of Asia. He was hurrying to get to Jerusalem, if possible, in time for the Festival of Pentecost. 17  But when we landed at Miletus, he sent a message to the elders of the church at Ephesus, asking them to come and meet him.

We Must Forgive Those Who Hurt Us. John 15:12 Commands Us to Love. (5.30.22)

Sisters & Brothers,
You must forgive those who have hurt you.
You must forgive those who have hurt you.
You must forgive those who have hurt you.

You must forgive those who have hurt you.

Unforgiveness will block your blessings from the Lord; and may even cause you to miss out on those things that Our Lord has promised His Children. Forgiving a person that has hurt you does not mean you are weak.  It does not mean you are less than.  And it does not mean that you can be used as a door mat. Jesus was mistreated, spat upon and beaten as He went about doing good and blessing all. Still Jesus asked Our Father to forgive those who sought to bring hurt, harm or danger to Him; because, as Jesus said, "Father, they do not realize what they are doing." (Luke 22:34)

When people wrong you and mistreat you; try to be a blessing to them, pray about their actions and give it to the Lord. Many people do not realize that when they mistreat you, and try to harm you; GOD will fight against them!!!! His Word says, "I will fight against those who fight against My Children." (Psalm 35:1)

Their actions are dangerous for their soul because the Lord will send forth His Mighty Angels to fight anything that come against His Kingdom, His Promises and His Children. Therefore do not become discouraged but pray, ask the Lord to forgive your enemies and to protect you from their actions.

When you forgive it does not mean you should remain in an environment that does not promote forgiveness. You can also forgive from a distance, while moving on with your life, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Today, right now, or when you get home - Go to your prayer closet; and ask the Lord Our GOD to give you peace, as you seek refuge.

Mark 11:24-26 - Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

Luke 23:34 - Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.

John 15:12 - This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

#ScriptureReflection - Esther C:1-11 (5.29.22)

Prayer of Mordecai.


Recalling all that the Lord had done, Mordecai prayed to the Lord and said:

“Lord, Lord, King and Ruler of all, everything is in your power, and there is no one to oppose you when it is your will to save Israel. You made heaven and earth and every wonderful thing under heaven. You are Lord of all, and there is no one who can resist you, the Lord. You know all things. You know, Lord, that it was not out of insolence or arrogance or desire for glory that I acted thus in not bowing down to the arrogant Haman. I would have gladly kissed the soles of his feet for the salvation of Israel. But I acted as I did so as not to place the honor of a mortal above that of God.

I will not bow down to anyone but you, my Lord.

It is not out of arrogance that I am acting thus. And now, Lord God, King, God of Abraham, spare your people, for our enemies regard us with deadly envy and are bent upon destroying the inheritance that was yours from the beginning. Do not spurn your portion, which you redeemed for yourself out of the land of Egypt.

10 
Hear my prayer; have pity on your inheritance and turn our mourning into feasting, that we may live to sing praise to your name, Lord. Do not silence the mouths of those who praise you.”

11  All Israel, too, cried out with all their strength, for death was staring them in the face.

#ScriptureReflection - Acts of the Apostles 7:23-34 (5.28.22)

 23  “When Moses was forty years old, he decided to visit his own people, the Israelites. 24  He saw one of them being mistreated by an Egyptian, so he went to his defense and avenged him by killing the Egyptian. 25  Moses thought that his own people would realize that God was using him to rescue them, but they did not. 26  The next day Moses came upon two Israelites who were fighting. He tried to reconcile them by saying, ‘Men, you are brothers; why do you want to hurt each other?’

27  “But the man who was mistreating the other pushed Moses aside and said, ‘Who made you ruler and judge over us? 28  Are you thinking of killing me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?’ 29  When Moses heard this, he fled to Midian, where he settled as a foreigner and had two sons.

30   “After forty years had passed, an angel appeared to Moses in the flames of a burning bush in the desert near Mount Sinai. 31  When he saw this, he was amazed at the sight. As he went over to get a closer look, he heard the Lord say: 32  ‘I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.’ Moses trembled with fear and did not dare to look.

33  “Then the Lord said to him, ‘Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground. 34  I have indeed seen the oppression of my people in Egypt. I have heard their groaning and have come down to set them free. Now come, I will send you back to Egypt.’

God Can, and God Will, Move Mountains on Your Behalf. Trust in Him. #Always (5.27.22)

A person stood in front of a mountain gazing up at the massive structure. 
The mountain was extremely tall and behind it was an even taller mountain.
 There were nothing but mountains -  as far as the eye could see.
This individual started to walk up the mountain but became so tired,
and so overwhelmed, that they just stopped walking. 
And gave up.

~~~~~~~ 

My Child,
Often, people will look at mountains in front of them, make their own assessment and then start to attempt to conquer the mountains on their own and in their own strength. 

Before taking off in any direction, look to Me - the Lord your God - and ask Me "which way Lord?" Sometimes I Will take you around the mountain, because I See the challenges that will be too much for you. Other times I Will move the mountain, so you can walk right around it.  Sometimes you will have to climb the mountain, and I Will be right there with you.  And sometimes, I Will beseech you to rest.  Rest for the new journey.  Rest after completing a past journey. 

Before going out on any journey, come to Me,
     and ask Me, "what is My Will for this situation."
I Will guide you and I Will provide for you. 

I Want you to know that I See, and I Hear, everything.
I Cry with you; and I Rejoice with you.

My Child, ask yourself this question, is there any mountain  so large that Jehovah cannot handle? Beloved, I made every mountain and I can build it up or tear it down.

Know that I am GOD and I can move mountains on your behalf and  I only want good things for you. That doesn't mean  bad things won't happen. It only means that I can turn bad things into good for you.

Trust in Me and trust in the Love I Have for you.
I Can and I Will move mountains on your behalf;
because you are mine. 
And I love you.

The Lord your God

#ScriptureReflection - Acts of the Apostles 7:11-22 (5.26.22)

11  “Then a famine struck all Egypt and Canaan, bringing great suffering, and our ancestors could not find food. 12  When Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent our forefathers on their first visit. 13  On their second visit, Joseph told his brothers who he was, and Pharaoh learned about Joseph’s family. 14  After this, Joseph sent for his father Jacob and his whole family, seventy-five in all. 15  Then Jacob went down to Egypt, where he and our ancestors died. 16  Their bodies were brought back to Shechem and placed in the tomb that Abraham had bought from the sons of Hamor at Shechem for a certain sum of money.

17  “As the time drew near for God to fulfill his promise to Abraham, the number of our people in Egypt had greatly increased. 18  Then ‘a new king, to whom Joseph meant nothing, came to power in Egypt.’ 19  He dealt treacherously with our people and oppressed our ancestors by forcing them to throw out their newborn babies so that they would die.

20  “At that time Moses was born, and he was no ordinary child. For three months he was cared for by his family. 21  When he was placed outside, Pharaoh’s daughter took him and brought him up as her own son. 22  Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was powerful in speech and action.

God Has Destined, Prepared a Place & Made a Way - JUST for You!! (5.25.22)

Beloved,
Do not allow the enemy to undermine your faith.
Do not allow the enemy to push you to give up on your dreams.

Let his attempts to defeat you make you stronger, not weaker.

My Child, I Have destined a place for you in this world; and no one can fit in that place except you.

It is a place designed and prepared just for you. I Want you to clearly understand this. I Have not forgotten you. Therefore, stop allowing yourself, others and the enemy, control how you feel. 

No Child of the King should ever feel abandoned.
I Love you more than you could ever comprehend.

I Know that at times, certain circumstances have caused many of you much grief; to the point that many of you have wanted to give up.  For those of you that this is true, you must stop looking at the circumstances.  You must stop feeling sorry for yourself.  That spirit of sorrow and pity and grief - is not of Me. 

If you want to be more like Me, then do what My Son did when His Soul was exceeding sorrowful.  My Son prayed to Me, GOD the Father.  My Son asked that My Will be done in His Life.

Remember, Child, your ways are not my ways. 
Your thoughts are not My Thoughts....

#ScriptureReflection - Esther C:12-30 (5.24.22)

 Prayer of Esther

12  Queen Esther, seized with mortal anguish, fled to the Lord for refuge. 13  Taking off her splendid garments, she put on garments of distress and mourning. In place of her precious ointments she covered her head with dung and ashes. She afflicted her body severely and in place of her festive adornments, her tangled hair covered her.

14  Then she prayed to the Lord, the God of Israel, saying: “My Lord, you alone are our King. Help me, who am alone and have no help but you, 15  for I am taking my life in my hand. 16  From birth, I have heard among my people that you, Lord, chose Israel from among all nations, and our ancestors from among all their forebears, as a lasting inheritance, and that you fulfilled all your promi17es to them. 17  But now we have sinned in your sight, and you have delivered us into the hands of our enemies, 18  because we worshiped their gods. You are just, O Lord. 19  But now they are not satisfied with our bitter servitude, but have sworn an oath to their idols 20  to do away with the decree you have pronounced, to destroy your inheritance, to close the mouths of those who praise you, to extinguish the glory of your house and your altar, 21  to open the mouths of the nations to acclaim their worthless gods, and to extol a mortal king forever.

22  “Lord, do not relinquish your scepter to those who are nothing. Do not let our foes gloat over our ruin, but turn their own counsel against them and make an example of the one who began this against us. 23  Be mindful of us, Lord. Make yourself known in the time of our distress and give me courage, King of gods and Ruler of every power. 24  Put in my mouth persuasive words in the presence of the lion, and turn his heart to hatred for our enemy, so that he and his co-conspirators may perish. 25  Save us by your power, and help me, who am alone and have no one but you, Lord.

26    “You know all things. You know that I hate the pomp of the lawless, and abhor the bed of the uncircumcised or of any foreigner. 27  You know that I am under constraint, that I abhor the sign of grandeur that rests on my head when I appear in public. I abhor it like a polluted rag, and do not wear it in private. 28  I, your servant, have never eaten at the table of Haman, nor have I graced the banquet of the king or drunk the wine of libations. 29  From the day I was brought here till now, your servant has had no joy except in you, Lord, God of Abraham. 30  O God, whose power is over all, hear the voice of those in despair. Save us from the power of the wicked, and deliver me from my fear.”

Mordecai Thwarts an Assassination.

12  Mordecai lodged in the courtyard with Bigthan and Teresh, two eunuchs of the king who guarded the courtyard. 13  He overheard them plotting, investigated their plans, and discovered that they were preparing to assassinate King Ahasuerus. So he informed the king about them. 14  The king had the two eunuchs questioned and, upon their confession, put to death. 15  Then the king had these things recorded; Mordecai, too, put them into writing. 16  The king also appointed Mordecai to serve at the court, and rewarded him for his actions.

17  Haman, however, son of Hammedatha, a Bougean, who was held in high honor by the king, sought to harm Mordecai and his people because of the two eunuchs of the king.

“A Mark 1:35 Solitary Place,” "A Secret Space," "A Closet" for Prayer (5.22.22)

Sisters & Brothers, 
Jesus not only had a favorite time for private prayer (early in the morning), but He was always able, even in the midst of His travels, to find “a solitary place” (Mark 1:35) for prayer.

In the busiest seasons of His Life, Jesus would rob Himself of sleep and needed rest, in order that He might have the quiet and unhurried place and space for prayer.

In His Ministry, Jesus mentioned the prayer “closet” (KJV) or “a secret place” (Matthew 6:6). The word rendered “closet” originally signified a storeroom; and that word has the same root word as the word “to cut” or “divide.” It may have referred to a sectioning-off of a corner of the large room in which the family lived. In that private place, supplies were kept for the needs of the family. While this word eventually came to be used for any place of privacy, the “supply room” would also speak to the storehouse of GOD’s resources available to us through personal prayer.
 
For Jesus the place was not as important as the purpose.

Namely to get away from the routine and the interruptions and spend time alone with the Father.

There are no sacred places, just places that become sacred because of what happens there between a person and GOD.

It will be of great benefit to you if you can designate a location for personal prayer. If you are not able to do this, then, like Jesus, you should seek some temporary, “solitary places.”

 

~ Let Us Pray ~
Father GOD,
You supply all of my needs.  I trust in You.

Give me a deep desire to meet with You in the solitary places where I won’t be disturbed by the busyness of the life around me. Show me how to allow the ordinary spaces in my life to become holy, and set apart, because You come to meet me there! 

May the time I spend with You, in the closet, allow the Holy Spirit to transform me from the inside out! 

Amen.  Yes & Amen.  Amen

#ScriptureReflection - Esther A:1-11 (5.21.22)

 I. PROLOGUE

Dream of Mordecai.
In the second year of the reign of Ahasuerus the great, on the first day of Nisan, Mordecai, son of Jair, son of Shimei, son of Kish, of the tribe of Benjamin, had a dream.  He was a Jew residing in the city of Susa, a prominent man who served at the king’s court, and one of the captives whom Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, had taken from Jerusalem with Jeconiah, king of Judah.

This was his dream. There was noise and tumult, thunder and earthquake—confusion upon the earth. Two great dragons advanced, both poised for combat. They uttered a mighty cry, and at their cry every nation prepared for war, to fight against the nation of the just. It was a dark and gloomy day. Tribulation and distress, evil and great confusion, lay upon the earth. The whole nation of the just was shaken with fear at the evils to come upon them, and they expected to perish. Then they cried out to God, and from their crying there arose, as though from a tiny spring, a mighty river, a flood of water. 10  The light of the sun broke forth; the lowly were exalted and they devoured the boastful.

11  Having seen this dream and what God intended to do, Mordecai awoke. He kept it in mind, and tried in every way, until night, to understand its meaning.

#ScriptureReflection - John 15:12-17 (5.20.21)


12  My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.

  Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 14  You are my friends if you do what I command. 15  I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. 16  You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.

17  This is my command: Love each other.

Learn to Receive (5.19.22)



My Child,
I Know that some of you think that people do not care about you; but there are people around you who love you and truly care for you. Sometimes it is hard for some of you to recognize this because you are so busy caring for them.  Some of you have always felt more comfortable giving than receiving.  Too many of you feel strange, and sometimes tend to resist, when someone is trying to show their love for you.

My Child, I Am opening your eyes so you can see how much you are cared for and loved.

Yes, I know it is often said that "it is more blessed to give than to receive;" however right now, some of you need to learn to receive. I Want you to experience what you have given to others.

Do not worry, I will not allow you to become prideful, I just will not allow that to happen.  I Promise you.  But with that said, learning to receive is an area in which you need to grow. Yes, it may feel strange at first, but do not turn away. How can others receive their blessings if you don’t allow them to bless you?

Do not block their blessings; receive their love.

It’s time for you to learn to receive; for there are many stored up blessings of love coming from those who love you, and from Me.





Read and Meditate on God's Word
Psalm 24:5 - He shall receive a blessing from the Lord and righteousness from the GOD of his salvation. 

Luke 6:38 - Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal, it shall be measured to you again.

#ScriptureReflection - Acts of the Apostles 16:16-24 (5.18.22)

 Paul and Silas Imprisoned

16  Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune-telling. 17  This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are the servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” 18  And this she did for many days.

But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” And he came out that very hour. 19  But when her masters saw that their hope of profit was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace to the authorities.

20  And they brought them to the magistrates, and said, “These men, being Jews, exceedingly trouble our city; 21  and they teach customs which are not lawful for us, being Romans, to receive or observe.” 22  Then the multitude rose up together against them; and the magistrates tore off their clothes and commanded them to be beaten with rods. 23  And when they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, commanding the jailer to keep them securely. 24  Having received such a charge, he put them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.

NOW is the Time to Fight, to Go In & to Possess The Land (5.17.22)

My Child,
I Do not change.
I Am faithful.
As I promised,
     so shall it be. 

I Must ask some of you this - did you expect your Blessings to be handed to you on a silver platter?  Many of you have been believing, in your spirit, that you were close to your blessings. You felt it so strong, you could almost reach out and touch it.  So, why did some of you stop fighting, when the battle became intense? Why did you cease claiming the victory? Who told you that you could not win? I, the Lord your God, certainly did not tell you that you could not win.  Who told you that you could not win? 

Child, you must continue to press your way through.  

Go in and possess what I have promised you.
Go in and possess what I have promised you.
Go in and possess what I have promised you.

I Led the children of Israel to the Promised Land; but they had to go in and possess it.  And so must you.

Do not allow the size of the battle to frighten you into believing that you cannot, or that it is impossible, to possess your promises. You are ordained for victory; therefore, do not back down from the battle.  Let that sink in for a moment.  Perhaps I Have never said it to you quite in this way, "You are ordained for VICTORY!" 

There are great victories waiting for you, but you must press on to obtain them. You can possess the fullness of all the Promises that I Made to you; but it will not come cheaply, easy nor without conflict and perhaps some 'chaos.'  I Will involve you in the process of obtaining them.  Remember My Words, "You are ordained for Victory."  And so, I Will say it again: "Go in and possess your Promises, the Promises I Have already set aside for you."

Yes, I Will require you to fight.
You cannot just sit back and
     expect things to fall into your lap.

You cannot be a bystander.
You must rise up and go after
     what I Have promised you.

However, do not be disheartened and do not despair, for I Will fight with you.  I Have already dispatched my Archangels.  My Holy Spirit is right there, with you right now - ready, willing and able - once you rise up and go after My Promises.  My Son gave His Life on the Cross, long ago & He gave you a mandate - to do greater works than He.  My Son is with you and My Son has given you an abundance of skills, tools and blessings for the battle.  You are not alone in this battle.  Not at all.  And I Will give you the victory. Remember, faith without works is dead. 

You are an overcomer.

I have put My Holy Spirit within you, to help you and to strengthen you. I Will not turn My Back on you, nor are My Ears deaf to your cries. You can have all that I Have Promised you. However, I Want you to understand that this type of Victory, comes only through battle. You must fight the good fight of faith, to possess your Promised B
lessings.

Now, I Have prepared a table for you in the presence of your enemies; but you must go in and possess the table. 

the enemy will do all that he can, to stop you from partaking of the table; because he knows this table will fill you up.  This table will fill you up so much, that you will be overflowing with My Power.  the enemy knows this.  Crush him. 

The table - My Table - is prepared for you, and your promised blessings are upon it; however, you (and only you) must possess the table.  Be not slothful about it, because the enemy is watching your table, and he too wants to possess it. Now is the time to fight for the promises that I Have made to you. 

So go in.
And possess the land.

Right NOW!



Read and Meditate on God's Word 
Numbers 13:30 - And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it. 

Deuteronomy 1:21 - Behold, the LORD thy GOD hath set the land before thee: go up and possess it, as the LORD GOD of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear not, neither be discouraged. 

Joshua 18:3 - And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long are ye slack to go to possess the land, which the LORD GOD of your fathers hath given you? 

Judges 18:9 - And they said, Arise, that we may go up against them: for we have seen the land, and, behold, it is very good: and are ye still? be not slothful to go, and to enter to possess the land.

#ScriptureReflection - Acts of the Apostles 16:6-15 (5.16.22)

 The Macedonian Call

Now when they had gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia. After they had come to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit did not permit them. So passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas. And a vision appeared to Paul in the night. A man of Macedonia stood and pleaded with him, saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.” 10  Now after he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them.


Lydia Baptized at Philippi

11  Therefore, sailing from Troas, we ran a straight course to Samothrace, and the next day came to Neapolis, 12  and from there to Philippi, which is the foremost city of that part of Macedonia, a colony. And we were staying in that city for some days. 13  And on the Sabbath day we went out of the city to the riverside, where prayer was customarily made; and we sat down and spoke to the women who met there. 14  Now a certain woman named Lydia heard us. She was a seller of purple from the city of Thyatira, who worshiped God. The Lord opened her heart to heed the things spoken by Paul. 15  And when she and her household were baptized, she begged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come to my house and stay.” So she persuaded us.

Timing is Everything (5.15.22)




My Child,
Trust in My Timing.

Let Me Say that again.
Make sure it sinks in.

Trust in My Timing.

My Timing.
Not your timing.
Or the worlds timing.
My Timing.

Your timetable has nothing to do with My Timetable. Just because things do not happen when you think they should, does not mean I Am not working in your life. 

I Have designed events to happen according to My Will, for your life. I Am the Master Planner of your life; but, for those of you with 'shakeable faith,' you need to have faith in Me.  And you need to 'not give up' when situations occur that challenge you, feeling like they are stretching you, or that you do not understand.

Trust in My Timing for your life!
That door will open, at the right time.

I Am never late.
I Am never caught off guard, by anything.
Because I Know your beginning, from your end.

I Am Alpha and Omega.
The beginning and the end
     of all things.

Trust in My Timing, regardless of what you see with your natural eyes.

Stand and declare, regardless of what's happening, that all of this is working together for my good.

Declare, that I Am - the Lord your GOD, is in control and all things will unfold according to My Plan and according to My Purpose, in YOUR life.

A huge blessing is waiting for you.
Be not distracted.
Walk through the storms, the fog, the murky moments.
For all will be clear, and all will be revealed.
When it all becomes clear.

Trust Me.
Trust My Timing.
Trust yourself.

Let's go together, Child.  In Trust.

#ScriptureReflection - Acts of the Apostles 16:1-5 (5.14.22)

 Timothy Joins Paul and Silas

Then he came to Derbe and Lystra. And behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a certain Jewish woman who believed, but his father was Greek. He was well spoken of by the brethren who were at Lystra and Iconium. Paul wanted to have him go on with him. And he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in that region, for they all knew that his father was Greek. And as they went through the cities, they delivered to them the decrees to keep, which were determined by the apostles and elders at Jerusalem. So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.

STAND on Who GOD Made You to BE! (5.13.22)



My Child,
You have within you the same spirit that raised Christ from the dead.
My Spirit.  My Power.  My Gifting.  You Have that - and more - within you.

That very same power - My Power - that brought about this miracle, is inside of you.

My Child, take hold of that power - My Power - and stand strong, in who you are. in Me. 

I Want you to rise up; above those storms in your life.
I Want you to rise up; above the strongholds that the
     enemy has brought (or attempted to bring) against you.  

For you are My Child, and I Have given you everything you need to fight the enemy; through My  Holy Spirit, The Paraclete.  And My Holy Spirit also dwells inside of you.

So receive this conviction; and stand on who I Made you to be.

Take time to embrace My Holy Spirit. 

Stand on what you know, that My Holy Spirit is capable of, and rise up with a conviction to rebuke every flaming arrow that the enemy attempts (attempts!) to send your way. 

You were created to be a blessing.  
I Called you and I set you apart from the world. 
I called you to walk in good health.
I Called you to prosper in all you do. 

I Made you different. 
Hear Me, Child.
I Made You different.
I Made You Different.
I MADE YOU DIFFERENT.

Now is the time for you to embrace that difference; so that the world will see - in a way that is undeniable, unquestionable, and All Powerful - My Power, My Son's Power and the Power of My Holy Spirit that lives - that rests, rules and abides - within you.

Within you.
Within you.
Within.

You.

16  Come and hear, all you who fear God,
And I will declare what He has done for my soul.
17  I cried to Him with my mouth,
And He was extolled with my tongue.
18  If I regard iniquity in my heart,
The Lord will not hear.
19  But certainly God has heard me;
He has attended to the voice of my prayer.

20  Blessed be God,
Who has not turned away my prayer,
Nor His mercy from me!

Oh, bless our God, you peoples!
And make the voice of His praise to be heard,
Who keeps our soul among the living,
And does not allow our feet to be moved.
10  For You, O God, have tested us;
You have refined us as silver is refined.
11  You brought us into the net;
You laid affliction on our backs.
12  You have caused men to ride over our heads;
We went through fire and through water;
But You brought us out to rich fulfillment.

13  I will go into Your house with burnt offerings;
I will pay You my vows,
14  Which my lips have uttered
And my mouth has spoken when I was in trouble.
15  I will offer You burnt sacrifices of fat animals,
With the sweet aroma of rams;
I will offer bulls with goats. Selah

TRUST in God's Guidance..... & NEVER Fear (5.10.22)



My Children,
I Know that some of you are experiencing "difficulties"
 at this present time.

Never fear, for I Am your Father.
I Am with you always.
I Will be with you always.
I Will not leave you, nor forsake you.

Move in 'My Strength;' and stay suited up in the 
armour I Have provided for you, which is My Word - the Word of GOD. As you walk through (and you MUST walk through it, do not sit or rest too long) your valley, I Will be right by your side - not allowing any evil to come near you or your dwelling place.

I Want you to listen 
very closely to what I Am saying to you, right now, in the Mighty Name of My Son, Jesus Christ.  Do not doubt My Word.  Stand strong.  And listen for My Guidance. I Will not fail you.  I Will uphold you, My Child.  So fear not.  All will be well.

Fear is of the enemy.
It is not of Me.
So therefore abide not in it.


Trust in Me for all things.

At this moment, I Am sharpening your discernment. Ask Me for interpretation of the things you do not understand and I Will send the Comforter (which is the Holy Spirit) to guide you.  Open your mind -  to 
be transformed by what I Am saying to Your Spirit.

Spend time in My Presence each day. Spending time with Me will eliminate any fear that may be trying to overtake your spirit. It will also block and eliminate any and all anxious thoughts; which may be troubling your spirit, especially at night.  Spending time with Me will also ensure that you are immersed in Me, My Words and My Way; and not the world, the often harsh or unkind words of the world, or the 'ways of the world,' which are not always My Ways.

Abide with Me, for there is no fear with Me.
Follow the leading of My Holy Spirit.
Praise Me continually.

Enter your prayer closet, and pray without ceasing.  Know that I Am with you. Know who you are in Me.  And know that I Have given you the power to crush the enemy under your feet. Stand on My Word, Beloved Child; and trust Me. My Word is powerful; and nothing can stand against it!  the enemy will flee at the mention of My Name; and the enemy will bow down at the mention of My Son's Name. 

Listen for My Still, Small Voice, Child.
Trust in Me.
And never, ever fear. 



 


Read and Meditate on God's Word
2 Timothy 1:7 - For GOD hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Proverbs 3:5 - Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

God Loves You. He Never Will Leave You, nor Forsake You. You are 'Going' a New Way.... (5.9.22)



My Child,
I Am Speaking to you today, to remind you that I Will always Love you; and I Will never forsake you.

I Loved you before you were born.
Before you took your first breath, 
     I Was with you
And My Love surrounded you.

So why do some of you wonder if I Still Love you; and if I Am with you? 
 
I Was with you when you walked roads that were "of Me;" and I Was still with you when you walked the roads that were "not of Me."  I Did not judge you when you made a wrong turn.  I Gently took your hand and led you back to the path of salvation.

I Am with you now, to overshadow you with My Arms.
My Heavenly Angels & Archangels are covering you with Their Wings.
For I Am opening "a new door" before you.
I Am leading you in the way of Abundant Blessings and My Will.  
 
I Do not want you to linger anymore on the past; perceived 'mistakes' of the past; or even the way you did things in the past.  What is done is done.  And I Am making all things new.  So leave it all behind you.  The "successes" and the "failures."  The things that bought you great happiness & glory; and the things that kept you up at night.  I Am creating a 'new way.'  I Have created a 'whole new world' for you. 

Leave ALL OF IT behind you.  

I Am with you. 

I Am bringing the dawn of a new day to you.

Reach out to Me and embrace My Love. Do not worry about the opportunities you 'missed,' because I Am bringing new opportunities to you. Do not be frustrated at the things that you 'believe' you did not accomplish; because I Have 'new goals' for you.  
 
My Child, the Love that I Have for you will bring 'all things together for your good;' because you Love Me.   See the past differently from now on.  See the past as a 'necessary path,' (the way) to get you to this moment - and all the future moments of abundance that I Have waiting for you.  That I Have stored up for you.  That I Am - right NOW - releasing to you.  Because you believe.  Because of your unshakable faith in Me.   Because you decided, some time ago, to seek Me first.  To counsel with Me.  To trust Me.  To talk to Me.

Look at the past as a 'stumbling block' or 'a failure place' no longer. 

Press forward towards the future that waits you.  

For this is a new season.
My Love, My Grace and My Mercy have
      opened a new door before you.

Now, forget your mistakes and failures.
Never doubt My Love for you.
Or whether I Am still with you. 

I Am your inheritance.
I Am your strong tower.  

Rest Child.
And know that I Love you so much.
Know that I Will never leave nor forsake you.  

Now, can I Ask you to make that same promise to Me? 

All My Promises are 'Yes & Amen.'

Abide in Me.
And I Will Abide in you.

We have alot of things, amazing things, to do, Child.

Rest.
Never doubt My Love.
Let Us never leave each other.
Let Us never forsake each other.
Let Us Walk Together.

Today.
And all the days of your life.



Read and Meditate on God's Word
Jeremiah 31:3 - The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love. therefore, with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.

#ScriptureReflection - Psalms 66:1-8 (5.8.22)

Praise to God for His Awesome Works

To the Chief Musician. A Song. A Psalm.

Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth!
Sing out the honor of His name;
Make His praise glorious.
Say to God,
“How awesome are Your works!
Through the greatness of Your power
Your enemies shall submit themselves to You.
All the earth shall worship You
And sing praises to You;
They shall sing praises to Your name.” Selah

Come and see the works of God;
He is awesome in His doing toward the sons of men.
He turned the sea into dry land;
They went through the river on foot.
There we will rejoice in Him.
He rules by His power forever;
His eyes observe the nations;
Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah

Touch Not My Anointed Children.... Do Not Mistake Humbleness, for Weakness. (5.7.22)


My Child,
So very often, too too often, people mistaken My Children as weakened vessels; often because of the presence of My Holy Spirit within them.

My Children have My Holy Spirit operating within them; and I Am not powerless nor weak. I Have Power over all things; and there is nothing the enemy can speak or declare over your life, that I Do not control. I Have the power to disrupt and eliminate anything satan has planned.

My Beloved Heirs, continue to walk humbly before Me, the Lord you GOD, and I Will fight for you.  My Word - the Word of GOD - says, it is a dangerous thing to target and harass a Child of the Most High. He will strike down and destroy anything that come against His children. Jehovah said, Touch not His Anointed - Psalm 105:15.

My Child, know that anything that may try come against you is also trying to come  against Me. All evil schemes planned against you; means that these evil schemes are also planned against Me.

Who can devise evil against Me and succeed?

No one!!!


The same goes for you.
Because I Will protect you from the evil one.
Always.
Always Child.

You must believe the words I Am speaking to you.
And please know, that I Am Always fighting for you.





We Must Praise Jehovah Elyon!!!!!
Yes & Amen
Amen

God's Love (5.6.22)



For GOD loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him will not perish
but have eternal life.
- John 3:16
 
My Amazing Child,
There is no greater power than that of Love.

As you come to Me with your needs and cares, do not forget that it is My Love that will answer all those needs, all those cares.  For I Do not answer your prayers because I have to.  I Do so because I Love you.  

It was My Love for you that drove Me to send My Son, Who gave His Life on The Cross, to save you.

When I Saw you in your suffering,
       I Reached out to save you.
When I Saw you in your pain,
       I Reached out to heal you.
When I Saw you in your loneliness,
       I Reached out to make you complete, in Me.   

My Child, return to your first Love.  Fall in Love with Me, again. Come to Me afresh; and experience this Love again.  For I Do not hold anything back. 

My love caused 
Me to give everything of Me, to you.  Generation after generation, I Have given to My Children all that is Me and all that is of Me.  And this has not changed. You have yet to know the incredible power of My Love, and how much it will still change you and make you into something beautiful.

You cannot earn this Love.  
My Love is freely given.
So revel in it.
Receive it.  

Yes, My Love Is a gift to you and My Love does not come with any cost.  My Love Is a free gift, since the foundation of the earth, and that has not changed.

Trust Me.
Come to me.
Understand My Love.

And when you do, you will see that the Love that I Have for you will help you to overcome and conquer all. Is there anything more that I Could do, to prove My Love to you?



Read and Meditate on God's Word
John 15:9 - As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.

#ScriptureReflection - Acts 8:26-40 (5.5.22)

Philip and the Ethiopian.

26  Then the angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, “Get up and head south on the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza, the desert route.” 27  So he got up and set out. Now there was an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official of the Candace, that is, the queen of the Ethiopians, in charge of her entire treasury, who had come to Jerusalem to worship, 28  and was returning home. Seated in his chariot, he was reading the prophet Isaiah. 29  The Spirit said to Philip, “Go and join up with that chariot.” 30  Philip ran up and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?” 31  He replied, “How can I, unless someone instructs me?” So he invited Philip to get in and sit with him. 32  This was the scripture passage he was reading:

“Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter,
    and as a lamb before its shearer is silent,
        so he opened not his mouth.
33  In (his) humiliation justice was denied him.
    Who will tell of his posterity?
        For his life is taken from the earth.”

34  Then the eunuch said to Philip in reply, “I beg you, about whom is the prophet saying this? About himself, or about someone else?” 35  Then Philip opened his mouth and, beginning with this scripture passage, he proclaimed Jesus to him. 36  As they traveled along the road they came to some water, and the eunuch said, “Look, there is water. What is to prevent my being baptized?” [37 ] 38  Then he ordered the chariot to stop, and Philip and the eunuch both went down into the water, and he baptized him. 39  When they came out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, but continued on his way rejoicing. 40  Philip came to Azotus, and went about proclaiming the good news to all the towns until he reached Caesarea.

God Can Make You Whole Again. Give Him the Broken Parts of Your Life, All the Broken Parts..... (5.4.22)




My Precious Child,
In the natural, when you break a vase, often you may feel that it has lost its value, its sturdiness, it is broken, weak.  And to use it, you need it to be whole - and not cracked and broken.  However, it is one of your favorite vases.  So you try to patch it up as best you can. But there will always be that crack in it that makes it weak. So, you apply more glue, hoping this time it will hold together.  But you know that eventually, you may have to throw it away.

This is not the case with Me - the Lord your GOD - because I Can always 'fully restore' a broken spirit.

My Child, there are many of you that believe that there are many areas in your lives where you feel weak; or so damaged by the storms of life, that you begin to feel that it will always be this way.  Some of you think that you will never be whole again; or that things will never change. However, I See the desires of your heart and the struggles that no one else notices; and I Am here to tell you that I Can bring healing and restoration to your life.

I Am the Master Potter.
Let Me repeat that.  Let it sink in your soul.
I AM the Master Potter.
Never, ever forget that Child.

I Am the Master Potter; and I Will take what others want to throw away and mend the brokenness, in a way that you will forget it ever existed.  Oh yes.  I Can mend broken places, so well, so good - that there will be no evidence that it ever existed.  I Will take the "broken parts" of your life, put My Healing Balm on it, and make you feel Brand New.  You will feel Renewed, Refreshed, Revived and Rooted. 

I Created you, and nothing is too hard for Me. My Child, start believing in the impossible. 

Believe in Me.
 
Give Me all the broken parts of your life.
Give Me your hurt, your pain, and your struggles.

When you release everything to Me,
I Will transform your life - to bring glory to My Kingdom.

I Will do what you thought could not be done.
I Will restore what others told you to give up and throw away.  

Give Me all your broken dreams, all your hopes that were ripped apart by life's disappointments and watch as I Make everything beautiful.
 
Remember My Child, I Made you. 
I Am the Master Potter.
And I Do not throw away damaged vases....
      I Restore them.
      I Make all things new. 

All.
Things.
New.




 
Read and Meditate on God's Word 
Jeremiah 18:3-6 - Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it. Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel. 

Joel 2:25 - And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.

Psalm 34:18 - The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. 

Revelations 21:5 - And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.

#ScriptureReflection - Acts of the Apostles 7:11-29 (5.3.22)

 11  “Now a famine came over all Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction with it, and our fathers could find no food. 12  But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent our fathers there the first time. 13  On the second visit Joseph made himself known to his brothers, and Joseph’s family was disclosed to Pharaoh. 14  Then Joseph sent word and invited Jacob his father and all his relatives to come to him, seventy-five persons in all. 15  And Jacob went down to Egypt and there he and our fathers died. 16  From there they were removed to Shechem and laid in the tomb which Abraham had purchased for a sum of money from the sons of Hamor in Shechem.

17  “But as the time of the promise was approaching which God had assured to Abraham, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt, 18  until there arose another king over Egypt who knew nothing about Joseph. 19  It was he who took shrewd advantage of our race and mistreated our fathers so that they would expose their infants and they would not survive. 20  It was at this time that Moses was born; and he was lovely in the sight of God, and he was nurtured three months in his father’s home. 21  And after he had been set outside, Pharaoh’s daughter took him away and nurtured him as her own son. 22  Moses was educated in all the learning of the Egyptians, and he was a man of power in words and deeds. 23  But when he was approaching the age of forty, it entered his mind to visit his brethren, the sons of Israel. 24  And when he saw one of them being treated unjustly, he defended him and took vengeance for the oppressed by striking down the Egyptian. 25  And he supposed that his brethren understood that God was granting them deliverance through him, but they did not understand. 26  On the following day he appeared to them as they were fighting together, and he tried to reconcile them in peace, saying, ‘Men, you are brethren, why do you injure one another?’ 27  But the one who was injuring his neighbor pushed him away, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and judge over us? 28  You do not mean to kill me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday, do you?’ 29  At this remark, Moses fled and became an alien in the land of Midian, where he became the father of two sons.

Decree Your Authority (5.2.22)

Behold Child,
I Have given you My Authority - to bring release and freedom into your life.

You have within you the power of prayer, the power to decree and the power of praise.
And it is time you utilize them; because there are some intruders in your life that must go.

You have allowed them to stay too long. 
And some have created strongholds. 
Hindering you from moving forward.
However, nothing is impossible for Me.

My Child, prepare to do battle.

Yes.  Hear Me, Child.
Prepare to do battle.
Prepare.

It is time to bind the strongman, and declare your God-Given Authority.  The very Authority that I Gave you before you were in your mother's womb.  It is time that you loose yourself from the strongman's grip.

Gird yourself with My Word and pray in My Name.  Doubt nothing, be not doubtful and loose yourself from every stronghold erected in your life.

Yes, bind the strongman, and let him know his time is over.
Tell the strongman - your time is over.
Fill your lungs with air, and loudly proclaim - tell the 
     strongman - HIS TIME IS O. V. E. R.!!

He is defeated.
He shall hinder you no more. 
He matters not.
RISE UP CHILD.
Rise up in battle, bind the strongman
     and walk in your God-give Authority.
For you have always had My Authority.
Too many of you just have not used it.
However the time is now.  Overdue.
Bind the strongman.
Loose the strongholds.

Stand strong in My Name, and speak with the power of My Holy Spirit - who is always leading you and walking with you.  When you stand strong and speak with the power of My Holy Spirit, watch the enemy back away.

Pray on.
Pray and faint not.
Pray without ceasing.
And then be consistent in praising Me.

Praise Me.
Praise My Son.
Praise Me.
Praise My Son.

Praise Me more during those times when it may feel especially hard for you to pray.

Yes, praise Me. 
Praise My Son.

When you begin to say, “Thank You Father," or "Thank You God," or "Thank You Jesus” over and over - you loose yourself from the enemy’s shackles. Therefore, STAND, THIS DAY, and DECREE YOUR AUTHORITY over the enemy.  Bind the strongman.  Loose the strongholds.  Shut down the enemy. Command him to leave in My Name.  Do these things My Child - Stand, Decree, Bind, Loose -  and you will be so amazed at what I Will do for you.  I Have been waiting patiently for you activate the Authority - My Authority - that I Gave you so long ago.  Child, the time is now.  Right now.  Right now.  Right now.  And for some of you, it is long overdue.

Decree My Word.  And as it is written in Psalm 23:5, the enemy shall witness your success and your favor; as I, the Lord your God, prepares your Table of Blessings - in the enemy's face. 

PRAISE!!!!
PRAISE!!!!
PRAISE!!!!

Thou preparest a table before me
 in the presence of mine enemies:
thou anointest my head with oil;
my cup runneth over.
Psalm 23:5
