Remember..... (1.23.15)

My Child,

REMEMBER when you walked with Me in faith and not fear? 

Let Me take you back to the beginning, lest you forget the way it was, the way it has been, and the way that it will be. For in the beginning there was darkness, and My Spirit hovered over the places of the deep and spoke light. I AM the one who breathed life into this world. REMEMBER that I AM the one who took nothing, and made it into something. REMEMBER.

REMEMBER I AM He who sees a barren womb and speaks life. 

I AM He who sees sickness and speaks health. 

I AM He who opens the eyes of the blind. 

I AM He who causes the lame to walk, 

and I AM He who sees a closed door and can open it. 

You see there is no task too small or too unimportant to Me. I AM the One who holds your future in My hands. I AM the creator of all things. REMEMBER.

REMEMBER I told you, 'let not your heart be troubled neither let it be afraid.'  REMEMBER I told you to fear not, for I have not given you a spirit of fear, but one of power, of love and of a sound mind. I said in all things come to Me. In all things, take time to pray. I hear the prayers that you whisper, the prayers that you sing, I even hear the prayers that you weep. 

Oh yes, I do hear. 

REMEMBER

REMEMBER the promises I made. They are YES and AMEN.
Why have you forgotten them so soon?

Why have you allowed fear to hold your hand and lead you into this place of fearfulness? And why, My child, are you walking by sight, instead of by faith? It is time to REMEMBER faith. Lift your head to the hills from whence cometh your help, and fill your heart and your mouth with My Words. REMEMBER.

REMEMBER how you walked with Me in faith before?
Now walk with Me again.

I want you to leave fear behind you, and walk the path that I chose for you, the faith path. Do not turn to the left, nor to the right, but stay on the straight and narrow path. And as you walk, you will hear My voice behind you saying, "This is the way, walk ye in it." Yes, I know it is narrow, but this is the path of Faith, and it will bring you truth and life.

Once more, REMEMBER.  

REMEMBER that I have promised to supply all your needs according to My riches in Glory. Not some, but all, of your needs. Now come to Me just as you are: tired, weary and heavy-laden. Come to Me and ask, and I will not withhold any good thing from you. I will not turn you away, I will hold you and comfort you. Come now, into My arms, and you will find peace, you will find rest, and please REMEMBER "I am the GREAT I AM and there is no other."

All power has been given to you from GOD your Father!
REMEMBER.

Turn Your Worries Over to God. Right Now. (1.22.15)

My Child,

Do not fear the mountains that you see looming ahead. 

Do not fear what is to come in the future, 

nor what awaits you at the horizon, but focus on me. 

Right now, as you look ahead, you are probably thinking,

"Oh no, another set of mountains to climb... I wonder what is going to happen.?"

Beloved, do not give in to worry. Worry is something designed to pull you down. Plus it really is something you don't have to be concerned with, because worry wants you to panic about things that have not even manifested yet. Take one step at a time and trust in My Son, Jesus.

Focus on the path that you are on right now. 

Trust Me and let Me direct each of your steps. 

The only foresight I want you to have,
is the fact that whatever lies ahead for you, is part of my plan!
I want you to stand on My Word and trust in Me completely.

So turn your worries over to Me.  Right now.  

Do not worry about what is to come, 

because I have promised you a future 

of hope and of much blessing. 

Focus on what is important right here and right now;

and give your whole heart to the task at hand, 

says the Lord.

Stretch Yourself & Ask in Faith - for This is Your Time, This is Your Season, Start Expecting. (1.21.15)

Faith Believers,

No matter what you are going through right now, expect to see the impossible begin to manifest in your life, in your ministry, in your businesses.  For GOD desires to do exceeding abundantly, above all you could ever ask of Him, above all you could ever even think!  Do you hear that?  He desires to do more than we can even think about!!!  

GOD is an awesome GOD!!!!

Can you dream the impossible?  Well, stretch yourself in faith, stretch yourself in vision and stretch out on the promises of GOD; for whatever you have in your heart to do for the Kingdom of GOD, He has something much greater in mind for you. 

Oh, but there’s something we must do to receive this.  We must ask in faith, believing that we have received what we've asked of the Lord.  Ask, and do not doubt.  Ask, and do not waver.  Ask, and just believe. 

GOD is calling us to a higher level of expectancy in everything we do.  

Settle for nothing less than the power of GOD in every area of your life.  

I believe the Lord is trying to tell us something.

Hear what the Lord Our God says:

My Child,

Expect to see the things that you haven't been able to shake or move,
to get out of your way as you speak the word of faith. 

Faith is the key to the supernatural.

With faith you can go to the throne in confidence and boldness,
requesting whatever you need, and knowing you have received it. 
For it is My desire to bless you with all you need.

As you make My Word the ultimate authority and final say in your life,
expect My promised blessings to overtake you. 
Expect ministries that have been 'un-heard of' to emerge with signs and wonders.
Expect circumstances that looked impossible to turn around quickly. 
Expect a turnaround in your finances. 
Expect your prophetic destiny to manifest.  

Expect miraculous healings like never before.  

This is your time, this is your season,
start expecting.

Meditation on God's Word:

Deuteronomy 28:2 - And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy GOD.

Galatians 3:20-21 - Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever.  Amen

James 1:6-7 - But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.  For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

The Listening Side of Prayer (1.20.15)

I keep asking that the GOD of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better - Ephesians 1:17

Elijah and Daniel both listened to GOD first, and then prayed. They based their prayers on what they had “heard.” Elijah heard GOD speak directly. 

Daniel heard GOD speak through the scripture. 

They took GOD’s revelation seriously. 

They took their prayer responsibility seriously. 

They understood the listening side of prayer.

Listening prayer is simply this: First, we listen, and then we pray. There are several different ways that we can listen. First, we can “hear” directly from GOD. When God the Father speaks, it is always through His Son and His Spirit. Of believers, Jesus said, “My sheep hear my voice . . .” - John 10:27, NASB. Hearing Jesus’ voice is direct hearing. Paul calls the Holy Spirit the “Spirit of . . . revelation” - Ephesians 1:17. This Spirit of revelation dwells within us; and is able to reveal what GOD wants to say directly to our hearts and minds. 

What we “hear” from GOD shapes our prayers, 

so that we know what to pray.

By listening, we may even learn when not to pray for something. At a time when the spirit of unrighteousness reigned in Israel, GOD said to Jeremiah, “Do not pray for this people nor offer any plea or petition for them: do not plead with me, for I will not listen to you” - Jeremiah 7:16.

The link between our prayers and GOD’s actions is so, tight that GOD doesn’t want us praying for things that He definitely doesn’t want to do. Though He probably won’t speak to you as decisively as He did to Jeremiah, He may at times put a check in your spirit when you start praying for someone or something. When that happens, it may be time to change your prayers. 

_________

Heavenly Father,

Speak to my heart as I listen for Your voice 

through Your Word, in my circumstances, through others, 

or in whatever way You choose! 

May Your Words shape my prayers
and guide my life into the midst of Your divine activity!

Help me to be attentive to Your voice,
never doubting Your ability 

to share Your heart with my own.

Amen 

You Have Sown in Tears, Now You Shall Reap in Joy (1.19.15)

My Child,

Let this be the day when you see the Heavens open 

and tilt the treasures of GOD over you. 

You are about to be changed by My grace and power.

I tell you, I am about to bless you and bring you into a whole new world of living. You’ve sown in tears, now you shall reap in joy. Therefore, be ye ready to step out in faith, for My call upon your life dictates that you 'go, be and do'. 

Boldness will open the doors, 

and confidence will push you through those doors. 

My mercy and grace are with you.

So be ready to run.  

You have been a forerunner for Me.  Telling of My goodness and mercy.  Now, I am being the Forerunner for you, letting people see the anointing on your life. They shall see what the Lord has done. Yes, you are the victor because I went before you and defeated the enemy of your soul. I want you to gather up the spoils of the war that I have won for you. 

Step into the water of impossibilities, 

and I will lead you to the mountaintops to declare My gospel to the nations. 

Now, get into gear and be ready to run to the promised land prepared for you.
_________

Deuteronomy 28:12 - The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations, but will borrow from none.

Psalms 126:2-5 - Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them. The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad. Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south. They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

Malachi 3:12 - And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts. 

Every Obstacle presents an Opportunity. God wants You to "Count it All Joy." (1.18.15)

Faith Believers,
There’s a story about, how in ancient times, a king had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he would hide and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Most people came by and simply walked around it. Others loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear, but no one did anything about getting the big stone out of the way.  Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. On approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road

After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. As he picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse laying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the king indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. 

This man learned what many others never understand. 

Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve one's condition.

Are you ready for this?  

What is it that you are going through today? 

What is it that is trying your patience or getting on your last nerve? 

What obstacle is blocking your way? 

There is a reason for everything that you are going through. 

Stop right now, where you are, even get up from your desk if you have to - and give GOD the praise, give Him the glory and shout HALLELUJAH for allowing you to be the vessel He has chosen this day to be glorified through!!!

1 Peter 4: 12-13 - Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

Oh, Praise His Holy name for another opportunity for the Lord to be glorified in what you are going through. For GOD wants you to count it all joy this day. Know this - that the trying of your faith (that obstacle) worketh patience. So, all the while "that obstacle" or "those people" are working your last nerve, trust that you are being perfected. Therefore, let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. (See James 1:2-4). That’s right, the more that obstacle blocks your way, the more you are being blessed. Don't try to avoid it, don't ignore it. 

That obstacle is your stepping stone to victory. 

Count it all joy, and praise your way right through it.

Right on to your blessing.

GOD says:
Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is GOD's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. - 1 Thessolonians 5:16-18. 

For this trial of your faith is much more precious than of gold that perisheth. Tried with fire, you want to be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: - 1 Peter 1:7

So, is that obstacle still there? 

You know what to do with it.

That’s right, count it all joy!!!!

Do Not take Your Eyes off the Vision Before You. Bear Witness to What God is Doing in Your Life (1.17.15)

My Child,

I gave you a vision.  

Do not take your eyes from it.

But continue to press towards the mark set before you. 

Keep the vision before you, 

so you can bear witness to what I am doing. 

I know about your daily trials and cares. 

Do not allow those trials and cares
to divert your eyes from the vision. 

My Son, Jesus Christ, spent much time with Me

during His time on earth. 

That is how He kept His eyes on My vision. 

To do what He did, you must do the same. 

Spend much time with Me.

I have placed you where you are, 

and I will enable you to move forward 

as you continue to look to Me. 

After all that you’ve gone through, you should know 

by now that I am more than able to keep you. 

Reach out to Me and I will lift you up, this day.

I will lift you far above the pressures trying to pull you down. 

I am there for you. 

Do not doubt what I have imparted in you, 

for you are My Child. 

I am breaking the way open before you, this day. 

You will leap and shout when you see all that I am doing. 

Keep the vision before you.
And know that I AM!

Philippians 3:14 - I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of GOD in Christ Jesus.

Focus Your Attention on God's Grace and not Your Problems (1.15.15)

My Child, 

Focus your attention on My grace and not your problems.  

This is My time and I want to be glorified in your life. 

Oh, how quickly you forget about My Grace when a trial comes upon you. 

How quickly you forget that My grace is more than sufficient. If you focused on My grace and not your problems, you would know that I will lead you safely through this storm. My grace enabled you to overcome your problems before, and with My grace, you shall overcome them again.

Whether you realize it or not, when you are constantly thinking and worrying about your problems -  you allow them to become your god, and at that point, you have placed your problems ahead of Me.  I am a jealous GOD, have no other god before Me.  

This is My time in your life, 

think about My grace and mercy; 

for they will bring blessings into your life. 

Use your time wisely, 

use it to lift up My name and praise Me, 

use your time to turn your prayers - into praises of thanksgiving - 

for what I have done, and for what I am doing in your life.

My Grace has carried you this far.

And it will be more than sufficient to see you through to the end.

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, establish, strengthen, settle you.

Giving God Your "Prime Time," Make Him a Priority in Your Life (1.14.15)

My Child,
I want you to hunger and thirst for more of Me, and if you do, 

I promise you will surely find Me, and I shall quench your thirst. 

However, you cannot do that in your few minutes 

that you give Me of each day. 

I do not want your leftover time. 

I do not want to be an afterthought. 

I want to be the priority in your life. 

I want the best you have to offer.

You spend your time on the things 

that you value and love the most. 

So, show Me how much you love Me. 

Show Me that I am the One whom you value 

more than anything else in your life, 

by giving Me your prime time.  

Seek Me first; make Me the priority in your life. 

Call My name with the first breath of the morning. 

Seek to see My face when you open your eyes. 

I want glorifying My name to be the first thought of your day, 

and you can do that by giving Me your prime time.

Oh, that you would spend more time with Me. 

I’m calling out to you, can you hear Me? 

Then come to Me and spend time in My presence. 

Come, spend time with Me and let Me 

give you strength for the day’s journey. 

Spend time with Me, allow Me to order your day,
and My favor shall go before thee. 

So, give Me the best you have to offer. 

Give Me your prime time, 

for only I know what time it is.

Focus. Focus, Settle Your Mind, Adjust Your Thinking & Stand on God's Word (1.13.15)

My Child, Your mind is going in too many directions. Please get your mind settled and focus on what you must do. When you do this, other things will begin to fall in place. Your future depends on what you should be doing now, so don’t allow your mind to wander any longer. Don’t allow your mind to be filled with so much confusion, that you become distracted and waste precious time.

Focus. Focus and adjust your thinking.
I will do what I’ve promised.
Get your mind back into the truth of My Word.

Get refocused on what I have spoken,
and believe that I am faithful.

Whenever the winds of adversity begin to blow,
stand on My Word.
Don’t let negative thinking rule in your heart.
I am the Lord Your God, and I will make a way for you.
Slow down, get your mind settled
and I will guide you along the best pathway for your life.

I wonʹt let you fail.
I wonʹt let you fail.
