F A I T H (6.19.20)

My Child,
Do not delay any longer, My Child. 

My Child.
My Child.

Do not let anything hinder you from moving forward in your walk with Me.  

Don’t you think it is time (and for some, well overdue) that you stop talking about having faith and start walking by faith? 

Please stop allowing your faith to lie dormant.  What good is it for you to have faith, and not use it?  Do not postpone another moment, wondering whether I Will do what I Have promised. 

Be strong and of good courage, as you face challenges of this world. I Said in My Word that your walk with me would not be easy, and when you are tested beyond anything you can imagine you must have faith in Me and My Word. 

Step out in obedience and I Will move on your behalf, and bless you. 

Remember, in those moments when your faith in Me may begin to waver, come to Me - in prayer - and I Will give you My Peace, My Direction, My Wisdom and Great Rest. There is nothing this world can do to you, without coming through Me First. 

Yes, I Allow certain things to happen in the lives of those that love Me; but through it all, I Will never take My Hands off of you. Never.  Ever.  And for My Children that are called, you know this, because My Word says so - over and over again; but too many of you have forgotten or are not paying attention to the stories and lessons in My Word.   You must go through a refining period.  Every one of My Chosen and Called Children have gone through a refining period.  So that I Can mold you into a beautiful, powerful, Holy Vessel to be used for the Glory of My Kingdom. 

Trust and believe that I Love you.
And I Will never leave you. 

I Will dispatch My Angels to surround you.

And keep you.

From all harm.
Always.
My Child.

Ephesians 6:10-18  (NLT)
The Whole Armor of God 

¹⁰ A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. ¹¹ Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. ¹² For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.

¹³ Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. ¹⁴ Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness. ¹⁵ For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. ¹⁶ In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. ¹⁷ Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

¹⁸ Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.

• 1 Thessalonians 5:6-8  ~~  ⁶ So be on your guard, not asleep like the others. Stay alert and be clearheaded. ⁷ Night is the time when people sleep and drinkers get drunk. ⁸ But let us who live in the light be clearheaded, protected by the armor of faith and love, and wearing as our helmet the confidence of our salvation.
• Isaiah 59:17  ~~    He put on righteousness as his body armor; and placed the helmet of salvation on his head.  He clothed himself with a robe of vengeance; and wrapped himself in a cloak of divine passion.

The Shield of Faith

• Ephesians 6:16  ~~  In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one;
  

Loins Girded in Truth (Belt of Truth)

Feet Shod with the Preparation of the Gospel of Peace

Your Walk, Your Ministry & Your Road are Unique..... You are Special. You are Called. (6.17.20)

A WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT TO
STRENGTHEN AND COMFORT YOU
AS YOU WALK WITH THE LORD

My Child,
Your walk in the Spiritual Realm is different from everyone else. 

Your ministry, and what I Have Called you to do, are unique.  

I Made you; and every moment of your life was planned,
     even before you took your first breath.

However, there is one small thing that will separate you, and make you different from others.  It is the Anointing that I Have placed on your life. My Anointing on your life has been, and will make, a difference in everything you do.

The Road that I've Called you to walk on is special and unique to Me.  I Chose you to walk this road for the purposes, glory and increase of My Kingdom.  

I Do not want you to 'fit in' 
     with the crowd.  
You are not like them. 

I've Called you to be a Peculiar Spirit, just as My Word said. There will be times that you will be mistreated, talked about and rejected; because of My Holy Spirit, which I Have placed within you. 

Some will even go as far as to attempt to practice 'curious arts,' in an attempt to change the course I Have placed you on.  Nothing they do - or attempt to do - will work, because I Have covered you in the Blood of My Son, Jesus Christ! 

So, My Child, do not think you are a failure. 
And do not think you are wasting your time.  

I Placed you where you are.  
I Know when you sit down.
And I Know when you stand up.  

I Am charting this path for you, and I Will show you how to walk in it.  Know that you are special to Me, and I Desire to conform you to My Image. The journey you are on was designed and uniquely created just for you.

Read and Meditate on God's Word

Psalm 139 -

O Lord, You have searched me and known me.
² You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.
³ You comprehend my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.
⁴ For there is not a word on my tongue,
But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.
⁵ You have hedged me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.
⁶ Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is high, I cannot attain it.

⁷ Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
⁸ If I ascend into heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.
⁹ If I take the wings of the morning,
And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
¹⁰ Even there Your hand shall lead me,
And Your right hand shall hold me.
¹¹ If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall on me,”
Even the night shall be light about me;
¹² Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You,
But the night shines as the day;
The darkness and the light are both alike to You.

¹³ For You formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mother’s womb.
¹⁴ I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
¹⁵ My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
¹⁶ Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.

¹⁷ How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How great is the sum of them!
¹⁸ If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand;
When I awake, I am still with You.

¹⁹ Oh, that You would slay the wicked, O God!
Depart from me, therefore, you bloodthirsty men.
²⁰ For they speak against You wickedly;
Your enemies take Your name in vain.
²¹ Do I not hate them, O Lord, who hate You?
And do I not loathe those who rise up against You?
²² I hate them with perfect hatred;
I count them my enemies.

²³ Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me, and know my anxieties;
²⁴ And see if there is any wicked way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting.

Isaiah 30:21 - And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

Luke 4:18-19 - The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

Romans 8:28-30 - And we know that all things work together for good to them that love GOD, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

Faith Believers,
There is nothing you will face today
that GOD can't bring you through. 
So, let your faith be bigger than your fears.

Just BREATHE....... (6.16.20)

A WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT TO
STRENGTHEN AND COMFORT YOU
AS YOU WALK WITH THE LORD

Fellow Faith Believers,
With all that is going on today, 
I want to remind you to stop.
Remember Who Is in control and.......

JUST BREATHE

My Child,
It is 3 am. 
You cannot sleep. 
You look to Me. 
And you ask, and wonder why? 

What’s going on? 
What’s the reason that I Am
     going through all this? 

I Say to you to, 'Breathe.  Stop.  And – JUST BREATHE...'

I Realize that the enemy has fought many of you; and some of you feel like you're beginning to sink. Child, Child, My Beautiful Child - you know that he has no power.  But still, it affects you.  I Say to you to 'breathe - Just Breathe.....'

You are with Me. 
You are with Me. 
You are with Me.  And there is NO WAY that any of his tactics will stop you.  

You will go on.  
You will push through.  
And you will be successful. 

And when the enemy thinks he has you, at that very moment, at that very second - I Shall show up, on the scene; and the enemy shall be caught in a whirlwind of confusion.  The very thing the enemy thought would take you down, shall take him out.  And raise you up.  I Say to you My Child, to 'breathe - JUST Breathe!'

I Have called you to be a leader. 
I Have called you to be a leader. 
I Have called you to be a leader.  And you are in, with Me, all the way.  The word 'failure' must never be in your Spirit.  Because you don’t have time to quit and nothing is a failure.  A lesson, yes.  A failure, no.  

All you have to do is stand strong on My Word, Child, hold on and 'breathe - JUST Breathe!!'

I Say to you to breathe,  JUST Breathe!!

Breathe, JUST Breathe......

Read and Meditate on God's Word

Proverbs 3:24-26 - When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet. Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh. For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken. 
 
Isaiah 59:19 - So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.
 
Matthew 11:28-30  - Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. 

 
John 16:33 - These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. 

1 Peter 5:7 - Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

Once We Pour OUT, We Make Room For God to Pour IN - Forgiveness.... (6.15.20)

Faith Believers,

Envision your heart like a pitcher.....

 

Praying about the people we need to forgive is the means by which we tip that pitcher Heavenward, and slowly begin to pour our negative feelings and frustrations out to GOD. 

 

As we pour out, a wonderful thing happens, we make room for GOD to pour in. Our omniscient God knows that a heart heals when a heart changes. 

 

Until we make room for fresh content that changes our hearts, we will never be healed from the injury and subsequent feelings of unforgiveness.

It is important to pray “for” those whom we need to forgive. Most of us are already aware that we need to do this; however, we often stubbornly hang onto our “right” not to. If we are to be like Christ, we relinquish our “rights” and take on humility, being obedient to the Lord.  As Jesus says in Mark 11:25 - And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.

If unforgiveness has been a hindrance to your prayer life in the past, remember that satan will continue to attack you in this area, again and again – until your victory is firmly established in the strength of Christ Jesus. 

 

  -  Marilyn

If you forgive anyone, I also forgive him. And what I have forgiven—if there was anything to forgive—I have forgiven in the sight of Christ for your sake, in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes - 2 Corinthians 2:7-11

 

~ Prayer ~

Father, 

Help me.  For sometimes it just feels good to be angry with someone who has hurt me. 

 

There are times when I feel justified about my pain, and too often, I struggle to let go of my negative feelings towards whoever has caused that pain and those feelings.  

 

Please remind me that I MUST die to self, and all those things that my 'self' wants, in the flesh, so that I can live as Your Son, Jesus Christ - who took on the nature of a servant. 

 

Help me to be slow to anger and quick to forgive, as You Are, so that satan will not outwit me! 

 

Keep my heart aware of the enemy's attempts to cause me to fall into the trap that is the sin of unforgiveness. 

 

I pray this prayer in Jesus' Name,

 

Amen

 

 

 

Fear Not the World..... (6.14.20)

Blessed are all who fear the LORD and all who walk in obedience to Him and His word. You will eat the fruit of your labor, blessings and prosperity will be yours. Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house and your children will be like olive shoots around your table. Yes, this will be the blessing for the man and women who fear the LORD. - Psalm 128:1-4

 

Faith Believers,

It does not matter what challenges you may face in this world.  Keep your focus on our Father.  

 

For Blessed are we whose sight, hearts and minds are kept on Father GOD.  GOD will Bless you immensely when you Bless His Name, the Name of the Lord. 

 

Do not be afraid to step forward and proclaim His Name!!!! 

 

For by doing so, the Lord GOD will bless your entire family, merely based on your submission unto Him.  

 

'Do not fear the world,' says the Lord.  But rather, put your trust in Him, and He will guard your life unto Eternity.

May GOD Bless you today and always!!!

#ScriptureReflection - Ephesians 4:17-32 (6.13.20)

The Christian’s Walk

¹⁷ So this I say, and affirm together with the Lord, that you walk no longer just as the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind, ¹⁸ being darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart; ¹⁹ and they, having become callous, have given themselves over to sensuality for the practice of every kind of impurity with greediness.

  ²⁰ But you did not learn Christ in this way, ²¹ if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught in Him, just as truth is in Jesus, ²² that, in reference to your former manner of life, you lay aside the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit, ²³ and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind, ²⁴ and put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.

²⁵ Therefore, laying aside falsehood, speak truth each one of you with his neighbor, for we are members of one another. ²⁶ Be angry, and yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, ²⁷ and do not give the devil an opportunity. ²⁸ He who steals must steal no longer; but rather he must labor, performing with his own hands what is good, so that he will have something to share with one who has need. ²⁹ Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear.

³⁰ Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.  

³¹ Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. ³² Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.

PRAISE God, Even in the Fiery Furnace (6.12.20)

A WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT TO
STRENGTHEN AND COMFORT YOU
AS YOU WALK WITH THE LORD

My Child,
Does it seem, at the present moment, that you are going through the furnace of affliction? Are you questioning what is happening in your life? Are you looking around and wondering 'when is the fire of affliction going to die down?'
 
Indeed, I Am doing a mighty work in your life. 

the enemy of your soul is also trying to do a work to defeat you during your time of testing. he wants you to give up in this battle.  KNOW THIS - I Have equipped you for the battle.  And although it may seem like the furnace has become 'seven times hotter,' know that I AM with you in your furnace of affliction.

I Am moving on your behalf. 
And I Am working everything out.

Do not be discouraged. I Am with you, as I Was with the 3 Hebrew youths - Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego - in the furnace, during their tribulation. Be of good cheer, for I Sent My Son to overcome all that you could ever face.  

Walk as an overcomer, knowing that
     you have the victory over the enemy.

My Beautiful Child, hold your head up and do not be downcast. Instead, begin to praise and magnify My Holy Name. Praise is your secret weapon.  Praise and worship are the liberating force that will set you free from every trick of the enemy. Worship Me, right in the midst of your fiery furnace.  Sing praises unto My Name. Yes, praise your way out of your troubles; and deliverance will come forth.

Praise Me in the Spirit, and it shall elevate you above the furnace of your affliction; and bring peace to restore your soul. Ask Me, daily, for My Holy Spirit to rule over your mind; and you will feel the presence of My Holy Spirit arise in your heart. 

So, praise Me in the midst of your fiery furnace.  And the plans that the enemy had to destroy you, will work out for your good. 

I Will have the Last Word in your life.

Why Give Up?!?! To Be Clear, Giving Up Won't Accomplish Anything..... (6.11.20)

A WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT
TO COMFORT AND STRENGTHEN YOU
AS YOU WALK WITH THE LORD

Joshua 1:9 - Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD, thy GOD is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

Luke 9:62 - And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of GOD

Beloved,

Oh, I Know it is difficult for some of you right now. 
And I See ALL that you are going through. 
But you must not give up. 

It will accomplish nothing if you do. 

I hung, bled, and died on the Cross; so that you might have My Strength and My Unshakeable Faith, in such a time as this.  For such a time as this.  Do not despair, for you are not going through this alone.  

I Am aware of all that you are going through. 
And I Assure you that I have heard your cries
     and seen your tears. 

Hold on Beloved.  Do NOT give up.  For nothing is too hard for Me.  And nothing is too hard for My Father.  Our Father.

For some of you, I See how heavy your heart is, and the weight you are carrying is far too much for you.  Cast your burdens upon Me.  Give it all to Me.  And seek My Face.  I Say that again.  Give it ALL to Me.  And SEEK My Face.  

I Will lead you through this valley. But you must release those things that you have struggled against.  Those things that you have tried, but cannot change.  You must lay them at My Feet.  The very Feet that were nailed to that Cross on Calvary.  Release it.  Give it to Me.  Lay those struggle things at My Feet.  

Know that I Am your strength, and that I Can provide all that you need. I Will be there when others turn away.  I Have been there when they have left you all alone.  I Will be there when you cannot be there for yourself. And I Was there, all along, in those moments when you did not have the capacity to be there for yourself.  

There is nothing too hard for Me, Beloved.

Now lift your face unto the hills from whence cometh your help and KEEP MOVING.  Stand strong on My Word, and let the enemy know WHO you are AND WHOSE you are. You are My Chosen One, Beloved.  You are a Child of the Most High GOD, Our Father. You are victorious because I Am victorious within you. You are victorious because I claimed ALL victory when I Died on that Cross.  

Do not let anyone - not man or beast nor the enemy - intimidate you any longer.  Be not afraid.  Move ahead with My Courage, My Boldness, and know - beyond the shadow of a doubt - that I Am with you. 

And REMEMBER,
   IF YOU GIVE UP,
   IT WON’T ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING.

~ My Prayer Confession ~

Heavenly Father, 
Thank You for teaching me that giving up won't accomplish anything.
Oh Father GOD, I know that there is nothing too hard for You.  
I know that there is nothing too hard for Your Son, Jesus Christ.

And because of You, I Can press my way through the storm.  

In my heart, I know that I do not have to - and that I should not
     want to - fight this battle on my own.
Help me never to forget that you are ALWAYS with me.
No matter how I may feel or what I may see, help me never to
    forget that I cannot fight these battles alone.

When the load gets too heavy, I must remember that I can
     come to You and cast my cares upon You. 

Thank you GOD for caring for me.
Thank you Jesus for caring for me.
Thank you Holy Spirit for caring for me.

In the Mighty Name of Your Son Jesus, I pray,

Amen

Faith Believers,
I pray the peace of Jesus will flood your soul,
and destroy any fears holding you back;
so that the vision He has given to you,
will come to pass.

Stand Firm in Hope (6.10.20)

A WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT TO
STRENGTHEN AND COMFORT YOU
AS YOU WALK WITH THE LORD

My Child,

For some of you, you see no hope. However, My Word says that I Have a hope and a future for you. I do not lie.

Come to Me, My Children.
I Want to speak to you.
I Want to reveal My Heart to you.
I Want to give you hope.

This is the day of change, great change, and I Do not want you to grieve for the past; but to enter into a new hope, in Me. Trust Me to provide for your every need. Trust Me to lift you up and out of despair.

I Want you to decide, in your heart, to live for Me.

I Have asked that you be willing to lay down your life for the sake of My Gospel. As you lay down your life, you will enter into new life. 

When you give up living for the things the world has to offer, then you are free to let Me Live through you. This is what I Am asking, on this day, that you turn your attention to Me.  That you gaze up from your troubles, and begin to see Me. When you do this, your mind will come off your negative circumstances and will be renewed with hope.

Put your trust in Me, and you will not be affected by what you see going on around you. Put your hope in Me, and I Will give you the desires of your heart. Know and understand that My Ways are high above the ways of man. I Will make a way, when man says there is no way. 

Come to Me, all who are heavy laden, and I Will give you rest from the storms that trouble you.  I, the Lord your God, Am faithful to keep My Promises. 

Therefore, My Child, let your hope be in Me. 

Trust Me to provide.
Stand firm in the hope given to you.
And do not give up.
