Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. “If you are the Son of GOD,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written: 'He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’”
Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your GOD to the test.’” - Matthew 4:5-7
Faith Believers,
It would have been the most sensational day in the history of the Temple. Imagine the reaction of the people, had Jesus floated down into their midst from the highest pinnacle of the Temple. Jesus would immediately have been acclaimed Messiah and there would have been no Cross. Of course, without the Cross, there would have been no salvation or eternal life . . . just an earthly ruler.
How do you handle the temptation to be recognized for what you do or say?
This continues to be a struggle for most people, as well as for those who have given their lives to Jesus. There is always the temptation to draw attention to oneself in order to accomplish something for GOD. Whether it is an important accomplishment at work or school, or simply our own desire to be recognized for doing something in ministry, it seems to be a human tendency to desire the attention of others. Everyone at some point in their life has sought to be approved or confirmed by another human being.
More than any other man, Jesus knew how temporary the acclamation of mankind could be.
What lasts and truly satisfies is doing what the Father has said to do.
And yet, how does one do this consistently,
with purity of heart and humility?
We must realize that all power in Heaven,
and on earth, belongs to the Lord.
The Bible says "Who is man that we should be mindful of him?"
- Marilyn
~ Prayer ~
It is so easy Lord, to fall into the trap
of trying to attract attention,
even when I’m serving You.
Forgive me when I strive for the approval of men
rather than Your approval.
Help me to not use worldly means to accomplish Heavenly goals.
I want all that I do to be in the power of Your Holy Spirit.
Amen

Do not rethink what you started.
Do not look back, or wonder, if the timing was right.
Do not look to the right or left to see if anyone else is doing what you’re doing.
And do not worry about your enemies.
And do not worry about your enemies.
Keep your eyes on the path before you.
Look not to your circumstances as any measure of your worth or ability. Look up and behold My face, for I will draw you up and set your feet in a broad place.

My Child,
Please stop looking at the storms in your life, and focusing on how hard the waves are blowing. Do not allow these things to cause you to think that I will not answer on time.
Do not look to the left nor to the right.
Instead, lift your head up and look to Me.
Seek My Face,
seek only My Face.
Reach out and take My Hand,
and do not let go.

Press on through, you will make it.
I Am here to help you.
I Will protect you.
You must stand strong and press through the trials of life, because “In this life, you will have trials and tribulations, but be of good cheer; I have overcome the things of this world."
This is a faith walk.
Everything you do must be done by faith, in Me.

Keep Your Eyes on God, Not the World. Follow His Plan for Your Life & You will Reach Your Destination. (3.19.17)
My Child,
I hear your deepest concerns, as you watch others receive their blessings. Now, you question and wonder what is wrong with you, and if your promises will ever happen. At times, you are so desperate for a blessing, that you try to make things happen in your own strength. When your attempts fail, you feel forsaken and defeated, and you wonder 'why even try.'

Say "Nevertheless" to the Battles that Rage Around You. Stand Up in God's Name & Face Your enemy. THIS BATTLE IS WON!!! (3.17.17)
My Child,
I know things aren’t exactly what you want them to be right now, and that you haven’t received all that you were promised. Now, you’re thinking “Why should I continue down this path. Things were better when I was living in the world." You don’t truly believe that; because if you did, you wouldn't have surrendered your life to Me. Stop allowing the enemy to invade your spirit with negative and harmful memories. Stop running and tell the enemy “Nevertheless though He slays me, yet will I trust Him."
Recognize WHO I AM, and know that the only power the enemy has over you is the power that you give him. I say to you again this day, stop running from your enemy. satan is not your lord. he's never provided for you. When you were living a life pleasing to him, it was I who watched over you. I protected you, so do not draw back from Me now. Tell the enemy, “So what, my circumstances aren’t where I need them to be. Nevertheless, I am not ashamed, for I know who holds my future, and I will endure hardships as a good soldier in the Lord’s Army."
Say “Nevertheless” to the battle that rages around you.
Stand up in My Name and face your enemy.
Rebuke the enemy in My Name and command him
to leave your life, your house, your ministry, your family
and all that pertains to you alone.
Put on your armor, stand strong, raise your shield
and block all the enemy’s attacks.
I've called you to be My Mighty Warrior, so be
encouraged this day and stand strong in the Lord.
I Am Jehovah Jireh; I Will provide.
I Am Jehovah Shalom; I Am your peace
in the midst of the battle.
I AM Jehovah Nissi, THIS BATTLE IS WON!

Rise Up & Shake Off Any Spirit of Despair or Rejection. You are not Alone, God is with You. (3.16.17)
My Child,
What is this that I see?
You feel isolated and alone with no one to care or share your heart with, no one to understand. This is a ploy of the enemy to plunge you into loneliness and depression. He wants to immobilize you by bringing you to a place of hopelessness. However, I want you to remember what I said, “I will never leave you comfortless. I will come to you.”
Precious One, come to Me, for I have not forsaken you; nor have I pushed you away.
I have a plan and purpose for you, and I will comfort your heart and establish you in every good word and work. Therefore, do not hide in the shadows of self-doubt. Come into My Marvelous Light.
Rise up and shake off
this spirit of despair and rejection.
You are not alone,
I Am with you.
Refuse to be thrust into darkness and despair. My goodness and merciful kindness will always comfort you. I will never let you walk alone, for I Am your hope and your exceeding great reward.
Come to Me, and I will turn your sadness into dancing. I will strip away that sackcloth of loneliness and clothe you with My Joy. You are My Joy and My Delight; therefore, delight yourself in Me this day and know that you are never alone.
No, never alone;
for I Will be with you always.

A Prayer for "Help, When I Feel 'Less Than.'" And You Can Be the Beginning of Change... (3.14.17)
Faith Believers,
Here is my prayer:
Yet the reality is that you can only change yourself.
Sometimes just realizing what words and situations make you feel “less than” are enough to begin the journey of change. Other times you may need help seeing yourself differently.
Be the beginning of change in your relationships.
Find ways to give approval more often to those around you.
When things need addressing don’t show your disapproval,
but choose a calm time to talk.
Pray together.
Relationships that are worth keeping
are worth the effort.
- Marilyn
Here is my prayer:
Lord GOD,
I so often feel inadequate without even realizing it.
The disapproval I pour out on others
often stems from my own insecurity.
I don’t intend to fight.
God, I need Your Help.It’s a natural tendency to want GOD to change the other person.
Please remind me to address my issues.
Help me to see myself differently
and to allow You to love me
and to change me.
Help me to find my confidence in Your strength
and in Your forgiveness.
I invite You into my life today.
I need You.
In Jesus’ name I pray,
Amen.

Run Into God's Arms & Rest. Selah. (3.13.17)
Psalm 91:1 - Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
Faith Believers,
I know sometimes life can be quite stressful. There are times when it seems the attacks will never cease, and each day brings a new challenge to face. You can end up feeling really weighed down in your spirit. Like a coat of lead has been placed on you.
Rising up in the power and the authority of the Lord will bring a tremendous breakthrough. But sometimes the problems seems insurmountable; so much so, that even rising up seems too hard. It appears that the more we stand against the enemy, the more the attacks increase. We begin to feel like we are going around in circles. Oh, bless the Lord!
Well, today I want to extend an invitation to you to come into the shelter of the Most High, and find rest in the shadow of the Almighty GOD.
Come away from your circumstances and be refreshed.
Leave all the heaviness, leave the struggles of the battle and run into the loving arms of Our Father's Son, Christ Jesus!

Come, away and hide in My arms.
Come away and rest.
I will take you into My secret place.
Let Me remove the heavy garments that you’ve been laboring under; for they are not of Me. I came to clothe you in light and life. I came to wash you with My love and renew a Right Spirit within you.
You need a time of refreshing.
Let Me strengthen you, and you will be able to overcome any mountains standing in your way. With renewed strength, you shall rise up and soar over the mountains. There's nothing that can stop the power of My Hand in your life, so allow Me to help you.
Open your heart to Me today.
Let Me breathe a fresh wind over you,
and purge away all the striving of the flesh.
Just let go of your efforts, surrender all
to Me and rest.
I have so much love for you. My heart is beating out a song of love for you this day. A song of joy, strength and comfort. Listen to My song, and allow it to fill your heart.
Now, breathe.
Please let go of everything and come into My Presence today. Fall into My Arms, receive a fresh wind over your life and be restored.
That is it. Come, My Precious Child.
Run into My Arms, and rest.
Selah.

My Child,

Think it not strange that this is happening to you. Do not allow your frustrations to turn into fear. Remember, I said you would have trials, but to be of good cheer. Therefore, do not allow the circumstances to overwhelm you.
Never forget who you are in Me.
Stumbling blocks might slow you down,
but they cannot stop your blessing.
I know right now it doesn’t feel like it,
but you are winning the battle.
So, do not dwell on the negative circumstances.
Oh, I know it’s not always easy to do,
but learn to count it all joy.
Stand knowing who you are in Me.
Rise above what you’re feeling,
and bring every thought captive
into the obedience of My Word.
You are My Workmanship, and I created you to do Good Works. Therefore, do not allow anything to rob you of the Promises I have for you. Instead, offer to Me a sacrifice of praise; and turn what seems to be a stumbling block, into a stepping stone, for your victory.
Count it all joy,
and start praising Me for the blessings being birthed from this situation.
Count it all joy,
that you were chosen to bring glory to My name.
Yes, count it all joy,
and know that in Me you will have the victory.
