Do Not Allow Worry to Ruin Your Day (7.12.24)

My Child,

Refuse to allow worry to overtake you in your current situation. For some of you, frustration is your enemy. You cannot accomplish what you wish, when you allow your emotions to take over in any situation. Instead, put your trust completely in Me, to do what you cannot accomplish on your own.

There are things beyond your control that require divine intervention. Quiet your soul and let Me bring the wisdom that you need, to do all that is necessary. Regardless of the chaos and bluster in the world, do not let worry rule your day.  I Would have you walk in perfect peace, as you stay present with Me.

Listen for My Instructions.
Let Me bring light into the darkness,
in order to reveal all that you need to understand.

This is a new day, and you can make it a great day if you will walk in faith and embrace My Power to accomplish all that I Have set before you, at this time.

Quiet your soul.
Stay focused on what is true. 

And do not let worry rule your day.

Matthew 6:25-27 - Therefore I say to you, Do not be anxious for your life, what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor for your body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Behold the birds of the air; for they sow not, nor do they reap, nor gather into barns. Yet your heavenly Father feeds them; are you not much better than they are? Which of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his stature? 

Isaiah 26:3 - Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

Get Ready to be Surprised (7.9.24)

 

My Child,

I Am going to bring you forth, into this new season, with many surprises. The surprises that will come forth will bless you, as well as others. However, do not be surprised that the work of the enemy will continue to come against you. Do not lose heart, and do not give up on the path that I Have prepared for you.

Keep your eyes on Me, and press towards the prize that’s waiting for you..... and be ready to receive.  

Do not try to get ahead of Me. Stay on the path that I Have laid out for you, and you will be blessed in many ways. Oh, the abundance of My Kingdom is coming forth in your life; in ways that you have not yet seen.  Therefore, be encouraged, and do not be disheartened by the things you’ll have to endure, to receive the promises. 

The temporary discomfort cannot compare to the blessings.
So, please follow where I lead.

Yes, I Heard you when you asked for help, and help is on the way.  I Am sending someone whose assignment is to walk closely by your side; and help with the increase.  My Child, what you are going to experience will be an inspiration to others. Therefore, do not hesitate to seek Me for what you need.

Ask, and it shall be given.
For I Want your joy to be full.

Now, the answer to your question is 'yes.'  Yes, I Will restore your health.  Yes, I Will heal your wounds.  And Yes, I Will even restore to you the years the enemy touched.

You will recover it all. 
Stay yielded to Me.

And get ready to be surprised.

Do Not Accept Defeat!! (7.7.24)

 

My Child,

Why do you go about worrying about what's going to happen tomorrow?  Do not be anxious.  Why do you fret? Do not listen to the enemy or pay attention to the lying circumstances that surround you.  Do not accept defeat.  Continue to stand on My Promises.  You should know by now, that with Me, victory is assured.

You have a choice to make. 
What will you believe?  

Will it be what you feel or see, or will it be what you have read in My Word?  My Word never changes; however, the things you see or the things you feel will change. Some may lead you to victory, while others will lead you to be defeated. But with Me, I Will always cause you to be triumphant. What will you believe?

Believe in My Word and do not accept defeat.

Open your spiritual eyes and look past the signs which say you won’t  reap My Promises.  Do not rely on how long it is taking; or that things are getting worse.  You must look past these natural and temporal circumstances, and hold on to My Word.

My Child, for you to reap the benefits of My Promises, you must stand on My Word and walk by faith.

When you walk by faith and rely on Me, I Will answer your prayers and provide all your needs. I Will give you wisdom, direct your paths and lead you out of the wilderness. I Will provide even streams in the desert for you.   I Am calling you to even a deeper walk with Me, and that calls for a deeper trust in Me, My Son and My Word. Therefore, those thoughts of defeat must be eliminated.

Yes, you will make it.  Because My Hand is on you and I Am calling you forth. I Am your strength.  I Am your righteousness.  And I Have set you free. 

Therefore, I Say to you, do not accept defeat, do not be anxious, and do not fret. 

You are not defeated.
You are an overcomer. 
You are victorious.

And you will rise above all works of the enemy.

Who Can I Rely On? by Fab Batsakis (7.4.24)

Family,

The following message was written by Fab Batsakis. This message blessed me so much so, that I want to share with you.

We must trust GOD, regardless of what we are going through. Father Elohim knows and sees all things; and there is nothing that will catch Him by surprise.

Our thoughts are not His Thoughts and our ways are not His Ways. Trust GOD with all of your heart and He Will make the crooked places straight; according to His Will for your life.

With Love,
Marilyn

“Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.”

PSALM 37:3-4

People make promises but sometimes they don’t or can't deliver. This teaches us not to trust others. Unkept promises can happen because of unforeseen circumstances or a weakness in character.

GOD makes promises, too. Except that with Him, His words accomplish what He sets out to do. Let us then trust in the Power and Safety of His Words. His Words are true; they stand forever. Believe in His Honesty.

We can’t buy GOD’s faithfulness with good deeds. We are already good by grace — not because of our efforts; but because of our right standing with GOD through His Son. Yet, we can cultivate a relationship with Him and get closer to Him. As we get closer to GOD, we feel His presence in our lives more. We also become satisfied in GOD for Who He is. As we get to know Him, we develop a deep trust in Him. That motivates us to do good things in His Name.

In Him, we live, move, and have our being (Acts 17:28). When we depend on GOD and His Word, it pleases Him. We need to trust God with the desires of our hearts. When that aligns with His Will, which is the best thing, He will deliver, just like His Word promises. GOD cares about pure desires. Even if we are not unfaithful, GOD stays faithful because he is unchangeable.

So, trust and rely on Him. Take your eyes off your circumstances and instead focus on GOD, Himself.

~ Prayer ~
Heavenly Father,
I ask You to help me to trust in You. Thank You for Your faithfulness.
Teach me how to do what pleases You, in Your strength.
In Jesus’ Name.
Amen.

Think about what is preventing you from trusting GOD more. What aspects of GOD's character can help you overcome your hesitation? Write it out in a letter to GOD and then read it out loud to him, asking for his help.

Believe. Only Believe. Believe in Me.... (7.1.23)

My Child,

Do not waver in your faith.  Do not tremble, as if there’s no hope.  And do not think that I won’t answer your prayers.  I Am with you and I Will see you through this storm, just as I Have in past times.

Believe, only believe. 

Believe and know that just One Word from Me; and the turmoil will be still. That is all you need…just One Word.

 

Believe in Me, and allow Me to speak A Word into your life that will strengthen you. Believe in Me, and you will be able to stand during the storm raging around you.  Oh, how I Want to amaze you - and I Will - if you do not waver in faith. Do not waver and you will see My Hand guiding you, moving the giants out of the way, and leading you to My Provision.

 

My Child, nothing is impossible to those who believe.

Therefore, do not waver, and start trusting. Stagger not at My Promises with unbelief; but be strong in faith, knowing that I Can do all that I Have promised.

Let not your heart be troubled any longer.  If I care for the sparrow, how much more do you think I Care for you, whom I Love the most?   

Waver not any longer; just trust in My Word.

 

~ Let Us Pray ~

Heavenly Father,
Strengthen us that we may boldly stand on Your Word, and not waver because of the circumstances that surround us. 

Help us to keep our eyes upon You, and not on our 'troubles'. 

Lord, You alone are our only hope.  

We pray this prayer in The Name above every Name, Your Mighty Son, Jesus Christ.  

Amen.

Say Yes and Amen (6.28.24)

 

My Child,

You do not have to carry your burdens; I Am here to take them from you.  Do not walk each day in guilt from previous sins.  Give these to Me, and I Will wash them away.  I Will throw them as far away as the east is from the west; and they shall be remembered no more. I will throw them in the sea of forgetfulness.  If I AM with you, who can be against you?  Who can come against Me? Who is powerful enough to make Me run?  Is there any?  No! 

Say 'Yes and Amen'.

Each day I Send a new dawn and new mercy.  So, no matter what yesterday held, a new dawn unfolds for you every morning.  My Child, you know this; yet you allow the enemy to weigh you down with the guilt and shame of the past.  You must believe that My Promises are true, and sealed with The Blood that My Son shed for you.  This same Blood, His Blood (His Sacrifice) washed away your sins.  You are forgiven, I Will restore, and I Will heal you. 

Say 'Yes and Amen'.

Let go of all that has held you captive, and all that has anchored and weighed you down.  Release the chains that bind you, for I have set you free; and there is nothing that can enslave you.  Just believe and walk in the faith you have in Me.  Set your eyes on Me, listen for My Voice, fill your Spirit with My Truth, and walk forward in your freedom knowing that I Am Walking with you. 

Say 'Yes and Amen'.

For I Made all things, and I Have much in store for you.  More than you can perceive, and more than you can begin to imagine.  However, you can only see this if you turn away what is hindering you.  Turn away from the past and walk forward with Me; so that you can receive all that I Have promised you.  All that I Have planned for you. 

Say 'Yes and Amen'.

My Child, I Love you with an everlasting love; and I Will be with you until the ends of the earth.  I Will not let anything harm you.  I Will make a way out when your back is against the wall; and I Will deliver.  Believe in Me, as you believe the sun will rise each day.  Believe because they are My Words, and I Am not a man that I would lie or seek to deceive you. 

Trust that I Will restore, and bring you into a new season. 

Say 'Yes and Amen'.
Say 'Yes and Amen'.
Say 'Yes and Amen'.

It's Time to Walk Forth. You have The Victory! (6.25.24)

My Child,
I Know it has been a very long journey, but it was a much-needed experience. The process of teaching you to trust Me has been a worthwhile experience. My Child, you have done well.  You have experienced My Goodness, My Mercy and My Faithfulness; and you embraced Me, fully.

It is time to walk forth, confident in Me;
and fully assured that you have the victory.

 

Nothing will be as you think; however, it will be as I Have ordained for you. For the thoughts and plans I Have for you, are for your success. I Only want good and perfect for you. I Have so much planned for you.

Now, take courage My Child, and move. It is time to rise to the new opportunities ahead of you, for I Have placed My Wisdom and My Understanding within you.

 

So much has been deposited within you, and it is time for you to use what I Have given you and go forth.  It is time for you to walk in your victory. Do not procrastinate, and no longer are you to be passive. It is time to be aggressive and to lay hold to those things I Have put within you to do.

Do what I have shown you.    

 

I Am waiting for you to move. When you move and begin to act on what I Have told you to do, then the provision will be there. It will come as you step forth in complete trust in My Word. All the prior stumbling blocks that hindered your walk with Me have been removed.

 

I Am your GOD, and I Will supply all of your needs. I Am faithful. Now, it is time for you to go forth, and be faithful. Take no thought for how the outcome will be tomorrow. There is much that awaits you, if you just move and let Me show it to you.

The Storm You Face, Will End (6.23.24)

My Child,

I Come unto you this day to heal, restore, and to bring you closer into My Presence. It does not matter how intense the storm may rage around you: I Am The One who is always in control. Child, you must trust Me, to the end, no matter how hard the storms are raging in your life.

Always remember, the trial you are going through; it has come to test your faith.  And the trial will end.

 

My Child, trust Me, the storm you are facing will end. You must be ready to go on, trusting even unto the last hour. I Will make a way when you cannot see your way. I Want you to rely on Me, along.  Trust in My Spirit, not in what you see. 

Trust. Fear not.
And know that I Am able to do what I Promised.

 

What is it that you fear? Do not listen to what others are telling you. Listen only to My Voice, only My Voice. Stand on what you know to be true. Do you remember the last miracle I Performed in your life? How you marveled at what I did? You said, "I can't believe The Lord did that!!!" But I did, did I not? My Child, I Will do it again. I Took what you saw as impossible and made it possible. So, why do you wonder if I Am able to provide?

 

Oh, My Child, I Say unto you this day, please take time to reflect upon the blessings of the past, and do not worry. 

I Have spoken unto the storms and commanded them to cease!  

That storm shall be no more. I Am pouring forth upon you a sweet and gentle rain.  My Rain shall renew, strengthen and breathe new life into you.

Embrace what I Am doing.
Do not resist.

It is important that you to trust Me, until the end.

I Will provide. 
Haven't I always? 

Trust Me, the storm will end.

Living in Peace with Everyone (6.20.24)

Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
It is GOD's Will that we live in peace with everyone. However, there are those that thrive on conflict and confusion with others. Their day is incomplete if they are not participating in confusion and discord. As hard as it is sometimes, we as Christians must persevere and respond to such behavior with love and patience.

Just like everyone else, I Am a work in progress, as well; but when faced with situations such as this, I ask myself, "Would Jesus have used these 'not so nice' words?  Or would He have responded in the way I did?" Once words are spoken they cannot be taken back.

Often I ask the Lord to please make me conscious of the words that I speak to others; because you never know how people will be affected by words you say to them.

Marilyn

~ Prayer ~
Lord,

I hate conflict. I really do want to live in peace with everyone. Help me to pursue peace and not just be apathetic about uncomfortable situations.

Show me how to do all that I can to live in peace with others. I want to reflect your peace to everyone I know. I want to respond to hateful words with loving words.

Father GOD, I want to be a reflection of you in words and in deeds.

I pray this prayer, in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ.

Amen

Be It Unto Me According to Thy Word (6.19.24)

Family,

In Luke 1:26-38, we find the story of Mary’s encounter with the angel Gabriel, who announces to her that she would be carrying the Son of God.  In the moment, Mary responded with simple faith, “be it unto me according to thy word.” Such faith!

How would you have responded if you were in Mary’s place and an angel of the Lord came to give you a Word from the Lord? Would you have agreed with The Word and waited for His Promise to come to pass? I know tumultuous circumstances may surround the dream or The Word that the Lord has placed within us.  However, we must respond in faith and say, “Lord, it will be unto Me according to Thy Word."  Because The Word of the Lord says, “He shall supply all our needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." 

That settles it.  It is done. The Lord is simply looking for us to stand in agreement with His Word, so we may bring to earth what has already been established in Heaven.

 

Be encouraged by Our Father's Still Small Voice:
 

My Child,
Only believe.  And have simple faith.  Faith in Me is what you need to have, in Me.  Just rest in faith, believing that I Am working - even when nothing seems to be changing. Call those things that be not, as though they were; and trust in Me.   Yes, have faith and trust. Trust that which I’ve told you, will come to pass.  Have faith that the way has already been made, rest in My Word, and it shall be done, as you believe.

Take hold of My Promises and all the good things that I said I would do. Put aside the words of the enemy and the fears of your heart. Loose yourself from all that is not of Me, and stand in faith.  Stand in faith, believe that I Am acting on your behalf, and it will be done - according to My Word.

 
~ Let Us Pray ~
Father God,
We know without faith it is impossible to please You,
and Lord, You are so wonderful to us.
Therefore, we ask you to please help our unbelief,
so we can always be good and faithful servants.  
Amen.
