We Must Open the Door of Prayer, with Our Focus on God (7.31.14)

Jesus not only taught the disciples to focus on the goodness and greatness of GOD; but He also taught them to place their focus on the purity of GOD. He taught them to pray, Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Your name - Matthew 6:9.

The name of GOD is holy because He is holy. 

Names had a special meaning to the ancient Hebrew people. 

The name of a person many times represented the character of that person.

Jesus taught that when we come into the presence of GOD, 

we enter the presence of absolute purity.

We can come into His presence only by the blood of the Lamb, 

with clean hands and a pure heart. 

We must enter His presence with a sense of reverence and awe, 

for GOD is holy.

We must open the door of prayer with our focus on GOD. 

We acknowledge His goodness, greatness and purity; 

with praise and thanksgiving. 

Something supernatural transpires when we offer to Him

the sacrifice of praise from our hearts. 

GOD dwells in the midst of the praises of His people. 

And praise quickly becomes worship.

After Jesus taught His disciples to open the door of prayer with praise, 

He taught them to close the door of prayer in worship. 

Jesus taught His disciples to end prayer 

with their hearts basking in the glory of GOD. 

He taught them to pray,
For Yours is the kingdom and the power
and the glory forever. Amen. - Matthew 6:13.

 ~~ A Praise Prayer ~~
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be Your name!

I honor You and give thanks for the precious sacrifice
that allows me to have access to Your throne room!

You alone are completely good, pure and holy!
That You dwell in the midst of my praise
is too amazing for my mind to comprehend,
and yet I trust that it is true!

For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever! 

Amen!

This is the Day the Lord Has Made. So Let Us Be Thankful, Rejoice and Be Glad (7.30.14)

Faith Believers, let us pray.

I pray that as you begin this day, 

that the Lord will completely deliver you from the pain of your past. 

I pray that He will cause you to remember He is the GOD of Hope. 

He is the GOD of Love and He is the GOD of your future. 

He has given you a new day. 

Yesterday is over, it cannot hurt you anymore.

This is your day. 

It is a new day filled with GOD’s brand new mercies and His amazing grace. 

Therefore, walk in it knowing who you are in the Lord. 

And just in case you have forgotten, let me remind you. 

You are a child of the King. 

You are blessed and highly favored, 

with the angels of the Lord surrounding you. 

This is your day!  So be thankful, rejoice and be glad.

This is the day the Lord has made. 

I will rejoice I will be glad. 

This day I will not let the enemy rob me of my joy. 

This day, I will use the Word of GOD against every attack from the enemy. 

This day, every trap the enemy sets for me will backfire on him 

and work out for my good. 

This day, no weapon formed against me will prosper, 

and every tongue that rises up against me shall be condemned. 

THIS IS MY DAY!

This is the day the Lord has made.
I will rejoice I will be glad. 

This day I am blessed with all spiritual blessings in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
This day the enemy will not rob me of the will of GOD for my life.
This day I will lift up the shield of faith against all the fiery darts of the enemy.
This day in the name of Jesus,
satan is rendered helpless, powerless and ineffective against me.
THIS IS MY DAY!

This is the day the Lord has made.
I will rejoice I will be glad.

This day I recognize by faith that all wicked spirits 

and satan himself are under my feet. 

This day I will fear no evil for the Lord is with me,
His Rod and His Staff comfort me.
This day when the enemy comes against me one-way,
the Holy Spirit will force him to flee from me seven different ways.
This day I will walk in the authority Christ Jesus has given to me.
THIS IS MY DAY!

This is the day the Lord has made.
I will rejoice I will be glad.

This day I shall not want, because the Lord has given me my daily bread.
This day the Lord has supplied all my needs
according to His riches in Glory by Christ Jesus.
This day I will wait on the Lord, I will be encouraged
and He will strengthen my heart.
This is the day the Lord has made,
He gave it to me, and I will not let satan have it!

Lord, I thank you for blessing me with THIS DAY!

THIS IS MY DAY. I CHOOSE TO REJOICE AND BE GLAD!

Psalms 118:24-25 - This is the day, which the LORD hath, made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD, O LORD, I beseech thee

God Wants to Bless Us, So That We Can Be a Blessing to Others (7.29.14)

Faith Believers,

GOD our Father wants to hear from us in prayer. 

I believe He wants us to stretch our hands to Him; 

in humble submission to His authority, rule, reign, and loving kindness. 

He wants to commune with us as a daddy communes with his devoted child. 

He wants us to surrender ourselves to His Godly judgment and will for our lives. 

GOD wants to bless us so that we can be a blessing to others. 

When we pray, let us pray to, “our Father who is in heaven; holy is His name, 

and may His kingdom come.” 

When we pray to GOD, our Father, 

may we be transcended beyond the reality and connotations 

of our earthly father to an intimate, eternal relationship 

with the perfect true and benevolent, almighty GOD.

Bless & Be Blessed,

- Marilyn

 ~~  A Thank You Prayer  ~~

Benevolent, Almighty GOD, 

Your child is crying out to You!

I am longing to have faith, to surrender my whole self into Your hands, 

without holding anything back. 

I’m not sure why I trust You with some areas of my life 

and not with all areas of my life. 

But I know that You are patiently loving me, 

until I am fully surrendered.

Thank You, Father.
 

For Your Name Alone Is Holy!

In Your Son Jesus' Name,

Amen

Stand Strong & Face Each Day with Faith & Confidence (7.28.14)

My Child,

Do not allow your problems to wear you down. 

Stop trying to handle everything yourself. 

That is why I am here. 

Allow Me to help you. 

Always remember, you can only take one step at a time

and face one problem at a time. 

Then, faithfully trust Me, to give you the grace 

to meet every challenge with wisdom and strength. 

When the enemy comes against you, 

rise up in My Name and refuse to be discouraged. 

I’ve told you before, 

you are more than a conqueror through Me. 

And with Me, you know all things are possible. 

What happened to your trust in Me?

Now is not the time for you to run from the enemy. 

Nor is it the time to be fretful. 

I want you to be strong. 

Stand up and know who you are in Me. 

Face one challenge at a time, for I am with you. 

I will strengthen you; and cause you to rise 

to every occasion and gain the victory. 

Stand strong, and face each day with faith and confidence. 

You were created for victory, not to be a victim. 

Rise up this day with fresh courage and boldness. 

It’s a new day in your life, 

and I am breathing new life into each situation you face.

TAKE ONE STEP AT A TIME, ONE DAY AT A TIME.

Do Not Quit, You Must Never Quit. God Wants Us to Be Ready. (7.27.14)

Beloved,
I am not a man that I can lie.
Nor do I make a mistake in whom I call to serve.

I knew this day would come, and I knew you would be feeling like this.
I'm coming to you to let you know that I am with you,
in the midst of all your suffering.

I am with you always and you cannot quit, for I need you.
Yes, I need you. I need you to finish the work I have begun in you.

Your trials and tribulations have been speaking loudly to you lately.
I know your pain is intense. It seems as though it will never quit,
and you may be ready to throw in the towel.

However, I promise you that I can and I will ease your pain.
I will give you peace.

Look at all the pain Moses, Elijah, and Joseph endured and how they wanted to give up; but at that critical moment, I showed up. In fact, I never left them.  I was with them in the midst of their suffering the entire time. It was I who said ENOUGH, and pulled them out of the fire.

It is I who decide when you are ready to be pulled out of the fire. You feel that you have gone through enough, and you are ready to come out. You must not come out before your time. Pray to Me my child, and do not stop. You are being refined. I am the one who will say ENOUGH for I will know when you are ready.

This is a critical moment right now because you want to turn back, and seek a life of ease; rather than to press your way through to the Kingdom. I say unto you, no man having put his hand to the plough and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of GOD. 

Keep your hand to the plough and do not turn back.
You have come too far to give up now.

I have given you all the strength you will need
to take your stand against the enemy;
and to continue in your calling.
You cannot allow the enemy to stop you.

I say unto you do not quit, you must never quit.
Do not ever think of turning back.

Looking at the things that are happening right now in this world.
I am sending sign after sign that I will return soon.
I want you to be ready so that you will not perish because I love you.

You are a Child of the King. You are Blessed & Highly Favored. (7.25.14)

My Child,

There is something you want to ask Me, 

but you are wondering if you have the right to do so. 

My children, please realize that I know everything about you. 

I know your every thought. 

Therefore, I already know what it is you want to ask of Me. 

I am waiting for you to ask. 

You have not, because you ask not. Ask, and you will receive.

I am Your Heavenly Father, and it is My pleasure to supply your needs. 

It is My joy to give you the blessings of the Kingdom, blessings that are stored up for you. Do not allow the enemy to bring condemnation upon you and cause you to feel unworthy of the promises of the Kingdom. There is no condemnation to those who are in Christ. You have the right to live a blessed life; it belongs to you. Never forget, I came so that you would have life more abundantly.

You seem to have forgotten this. 

You seem to have forgotten who you are, and to whom you belong, 

so let Me remind you. 

You are a child of the King. 

You are blessed and highly favored; and all that I have belongs to you. 

Therefore, as a child of the King, come and talk with Me. 

Talk to your Father and ask for what you need. 

Do not be afraid; just ask.

It is Time. Speak Faith to Your Situations & You Will See Your Mountains Move (7.22.14)

My Child,

You feel as though there is an immovable mountain in front of you, 

and that there is no way around it. 

My child, you do not have to go around that mountain. 

Don’t you remember what I told you that you could do
with mountains in your life? 

I said, whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed, 

and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, 

but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass, 

he shall have whatsoever he saith.

If you want to see your situations change,
then you must speak in faith to your situation. 

Speak and believe with all your heart that what you said shall come to pass. 

It is time to take authority over that which troubles you. 

It is time to take authority, and see your every need supplied. 

It is time to stand on My word, and speak to the mountains in your life 

and truly believe that they are ALREADY cast into the sea.

And if the enemy tries to convince you that it will not come to pass; 

then stand on My word and confess it aloud, and he will flee. 

This is what you must do to resist the enemies in your life. 

This is how you will see your mountains cast into the sea. 

Speaking faith filled words aloud will change the atmosphere. 

Speak My words and allow them to rise up within you and empower you 

to believe in Me for the impossible.

Believe that you are more than a conqueror. 

Believe that you are blessed with all spiritual blessings in Christ Jesus. 

Believe that I have done exceeding abundantly above what you have asked. 

I tell you to have faith and believe that you HAVE RECEIVED the answer to your prayers. 

Believe and see your mountains move.

Keep Your Eyes on God & Follow His Plan for Your Life (7.21.14)

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. 

And when your attempts fail, you feel forsaken and defeated; 

then you wonder why even try. 

Dear child, the enemy is working overtime trying to undermine your faith; 

hoping that you will walk away from Me and give up. 

However, all he can do is try. 

His weak attempts will fail, if you keep your eyes on Me.

Do not worry about what others are doing. 

They have their own instructions and their own problems. 

Remember My Words to you.

Stop allowing the voices of the enemy to draw you away from Me 

and rob you of your peace. 

I want you to listen to what I am saying. 

I have not forsaken you, nor have I forgotten

the words I've spoken over your life. 

I will not leave you comfortless; I am with you. 

The plan I created for your life, is perfect. 

It is a straight and narrow plan. 

It is a plan that will lead you to Me.

Now, I have given you specific instructions.

If you follow them you will reach your destination. 

Please keep your eyes on Me, and not the world. 

Do not allow the enemy to taunt you anymore. 

Stay in My word, and you will see the glorious things I've created 

for those who desire more of Me, and not the world. 

I am with you. 

I will never leave.

So, take your eyes off the lives of others. 

Follow the plan for your life, 

and you will reach your destination.

John 14:18 - I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. 

At This Very Moment, You are Where God Wants You to Be (7.20.14)

Faith Believers,

I love Psalm 139, read it when you have time, it will bless you.

Psalm 139:7-10 says, "Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there, If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there Your hand shall lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me."

Be encouraged and know that GOD is with you; 

and from His perspective, all is well. 

He knows where you are, 

and what you are going to say even before you say it. 

Isn’t He wonderful? 

Oh, I just love Him so! 

Hear what our God has to say:

When the trials and tribulations of this world come your way remember, I know where you are, and I am in control. I hold you in the palm of My hand. I am never surprised about what is going on in your life. I do not have to react to anything the enemy sends your way. 

You can never flee from My presence, 

so your attitude should be one of trust and confidence. 

Never allow the spirit of fear to enter into your heart, 

for I am with you. 

Always enter My presence with a spirit of thanksgiving and praise.

I know your every thought. 

I AM your creator and I know how much you can bear. 

I know your strengths, and I know your weaknesses. 

Remember, I even know the number of hairs on your head. 

Amazing, isn’t it? Yes, I know that much about you. 

After all, I created you. My wisdom, understanding, and strength are immeasurable. 

Is there anything too hard for Me? No! 

Therefore, rest in knowing there is nothing you will ever face that I cannot see you through.

So, be encouraged this day. I know where you are, and I have worked things out for your good. I see what you are going through, and I have not forgotten about you. Remember, I promised to always be with you, even to the end of this world. I will never break My promises to you. 

Therefore, you can rest knowing that I love you. 

Rejoice in knowing that you are the apple of My eye, 

and I know where you are and what you are struggling with.

No Weapon (7.18.14)

No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD,and their righteousness is of Me, saith the LORD. - Isaiah 54:17

And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck,and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing. - Isaiah 10:27

Beloved,

I have given you the power to break the enemy.

Nothing shall be impossible to you.

No weapon formed against you shall prosper.

Have faith in My name and demonic spirits must flee.

They can’t stand the name of Jesus.

In My name you shall heal the sick. 

In My name you shall declare victory over the enemy of your soul.

Stand on My Word and all that I have promised you.

Nothing by any means shall overcome you.

Stay on the Course My Child; Stay on the Course (7.17.14)

My Child, 

Do not change directions just because you have come to a bump in the road. 

I placed you on this journey, and you are going in the right direction. 

Did you expect every step of the way to go smoothly?  

Because I have been opening doors. 

Do you remember what happened to the children of Israel when I opened the door and led them out of Egypt? Was their journey to the Promise Land smooth? No, it was not. However, it was the road I chose for them to travel, and I chose it for a reason. It was to humble them; to test them and find out whether or not they would obey My commands.

Therefore, I say to you, do not change your direction, 

for I have chosen this path as an answer to your prayers. 

The obstacles you are encountering are happening for a reason, 

and soon they will be revealed.

I want you to have faith in My Word, and do not worry. 

I led you down this road, and I will not leave you. 

Haven’t I always provided for your needs? 

Well, do not doubt Me now. 

I have not changed. I will deliver, and on time.

Remember, challenges are a part of life. 

How you deal with the challenges will determine the outcome. 

So, do not change directions; instead rejoice about the road I have chosen for you. 

Have faith and complete trust in Me, and know that I am walking with you every step of the way. 

Oh, I have so much waiting for you at the end of this journey.

Stay on the course My Child.

Stay on the course.

Have No Fear, Look to God and Wait on Him (7.16.14)

My Beloved, 

Whatever you are facing at this time, is not too much for Me. 

I am the One who can change things. 

I am the One who will turn what the enemy intended for bad, into good. 

Rely on Me and do not depend on your own strength. 

Am I not strong enough - to destroy your mountains and keep your feet from falling? 

Have no fear, look to Me and wait on Me 

to bring to pass that which I have promised.

Do not run anymore.  And dry your eyes. 

Keep your face turned to Me and stand on My Word. 

Let the truth that I speak take root within you 

and allow Me to work in your life. 

Nothing, and I mean nothing, can separate us. 

Nothing can come between us and nothing will harm you. 

I am protecting and watching over you. 

My eyes are always open. 

I do not slumber and I do not sleep.

Give Me all the cares and worries that plague your mind. 

Give them to Me and think about them no more, 

because I am here to free you from them all. 

Release everything to Me and walk in My strength 

and My light, into the new dawn that is breaking before you. 

I want you to walk into new pastures 

where My right hand will lead and guide you. 

Have no fear and do not worry, 

just allow My peace to flood your soul and know all is well, 

because you have placed your trust in Me.

Look Up, Stand Strong & Face Each Day with Faith & Confidence (7.15.14)

My Child,

Do not allow your problems to wear you down. 

Cease from trying handle everything yourself. 

Allow Me to help you. 

Allow me to be your rock and strength. 

Faithfully trust Me to give you the grace to meet every challenge with wisdom and strength. When the enemy comes against you, rise up in My Name and refuse to be discouraged. I have told you before, 'You are more than a conqueror through Me, and with Me all things are possible.'

Now is not the time for you to sit down, back up, or give up. 

Nor is it the time to be fretful. 

I want you to be strong. 

Stand up and know who you are in Me. 

Face one challenge at a time, for I am with you. 

I will strengthen you and cause you to rise to every occasion, and gain the victory. 

Look up, stand strong, and face each day with faith and confidence. 

You were created for victory, not to be a victim. 

Rise up this day with new courage and boldness. 

It’s a new day in your life, and I am breathing new life into each situation you face.

Commit Thy Works, Trust and Obey the Lord (7.14.14)

My Child,

Commit everything you do unto Me. 

Take Me, as your partner and your plans will succeed. 

It is My desire for you to be the head and not the tail, for you to prosper, to be above and not beneath. I want to move in your life and guide you into all truths. If only you would cast your cares upon Me, I will be your burden bearer. 

There is no problem that I cannot solve; 

no situation that I cannot see. 

Release everything unto Me.  And watch your healing come through; watch your finances turn around, watch your loved one come home. Release all to Me.  And watch Me do the impossible in your life. Oh, if only you would commit everything to Me. There is nothing I would not do for you. 

Just let Me have My way in your life. 

Let Me come in, and I will do what no other can do nor will do in your life. 

Let Me have My way. 

Commit thy works unto Me, trust and obey Me, 

and I will cause your plans to succeed.

Joshua 1:8 - This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

Proverbs 16:3 - Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.

Take a Bold First Step, Do Not be Afraid to Step Out on God's Calling. It's Time to Move. (7.13.14)

My Child,

Your destiny lies before you. You must step out in faith, believing that I will bring to pass the the things I have promised. The vision I gave you was for an appointed time.  Now is that time. Just as the children of Israel got up and move from their place of bondage in order to receive their promise, so must you. 

It is now time for you to leave your Egypt. 

The bondage you endured is over, leave it behind. 

Take a bold first step and I will be there for you the rest of the way.

Take the first step towards the land of milk and honey. 

Open your mouth and speak the words I’ve poured into you. 

Those words have power and force, because the Lion of Judah lives within you. 

Call upon Me and allow Me to work through you. 

Do not fear, because I have not given you the spirit of fear.  

I have given you peace, love and a sound mind. 

Do not be afraid any longer to step out on my calling. 

It’s time to move.

Romans 8:15 - For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

We Must Be Still, Through it All, and Know that He is God (7.11.14)

I asked, "GOD, what do you mean when you say, 'Be and know that I am GOD?'”

He answered, "My Child, what I mean is, Though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the sea; though the waters roar with trouble, though the mountains before you shake. Though the strong winds blow and the storm rages…BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD.

Though your bills are due, though they give you a hard time at work, though your spouse won’t act right, though your children are disobedient, though there’s a sickness in your body, and though your enemies are getting on your last nerve…BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD.

Cease your fears, and dry up your tears, for I am right here to comfort you.

I am right here to guide you and hold you up.
I am right here to heal and deliver you.
There is nothing you will face, that I cannot see you through.
Cast your cares upon Me for I deeply love you and care for you.
So stop all of that worrying, complaining and doubting.
I am in the midst and I shall not be moved.

I am your very present help and I will never be late.

My Child, this is what I mean by BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD."

GOD is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of GOD, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. GOD is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: GOD shall help her, and that right early. The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted. The LORD of hosts is with us; the GOD of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth. He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire. Be still, and know that I am GOD: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. The LORD of hosts is with us; the GOD of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. - Psalm 46:1 - 12

What Would You Do if You Truly Knew that Jesus is in Control of Your Life? (7.10.14)

Let me ask you some questions. What would you do if you truly knew, deep down within you, I mean beyond a shadow of doubt, that Jesus is in complete control of your life?

Would you worry less?

Would you live each day to the fullest?

Would you stop panicking whenever something goes wrong?

Would you be able to function more clearly?

Would there be more joy in your life?

If you have fully surrendered your life to the Lord, then He is in control. 

No matter what you go through, He will be there to protect you. 

He is there to guide you and fix whatever is broken in your life. 

He is there to make a way, when there appears to be no way.

With the Lord on our side, no weapon formed against us will prosper. 

Oh, we may stumble and get a few bumps and bruises along the way, 

but when it’s all said and done; we will rise up victoriously with Christ. 

That is our heritage as children of the Most High GOD.

Therefore, meditate on these promises the next time fear raises it’s ugly head.  The Lord says:

• DO NOT FEAR THE DAYS AHEAD, as I have ordered them according to My Word, and they will be revealed as you walk forward in Me. Nothing is left to chance; all things come forth at My Command.
  
• DO NOT FEAR TO LAY HOLD OF MY PROMISES. For I have given you My Word. In it is everything that pertains to your life, and to My Purposes concerning you. Do not waver, but believe My Word, for it is your guide. My Word will lead you and be within you. What I have said to you, and placed within your hearts will come to pass.
  
• DO NOT FEAR THE ACCUSATIONS that are coming against you by those who do not understand the call that I have placed upon you. They cannot know the work I have done within you. However, I will cause them to see Me in you, and I will be your defense and your refuge.
  
• DO NOT FEAR THE NEW DOOR THAT IS BEFORE YOU Yes, it is a new day, and yes, it is a new walk for you. I have given you everything that you need to accomplish those things that are before you. Do not linger at the door, if you wait too long, it will close, and it will remain closed. Move forward.
  
• DO NOT FEAR THE ONSLAUGHT OF THE ENEMY that is attacking you and your family. For the enemy knows that I have brought you to the crossroads and that your family is crossing over into freedom and destiny. I say, look up! Watch me move in your family and know that I will bring them all in.
  
• DO NOT FEAR. Have faith in Me and watch me how I will lay everything out before you. It is, as I said it would be. FEAR NOT, ONLY BELIEVE.

God is the Potter & We are the Clay (7.9.14)

My Child,

The work I began in you, I am sure to finish. 

Be confident of this. 

I love broken vessels. I love picking up the pieces. 

I am the Potter, and you are My clay. 

My work in you began before you were born, surely I will finish it. 

Even now, I am preparing you to fulfill it; nothing will be left undone.

When you stumbled, I was there to pick you up. It was only a small hindrance. 

When you cried, I dried your eyes. Not one tear was wasted. 

When you drifted away, it was I who led you back. It was only a minor setback. 

All part of My work. 

Yes, they may laugh at our slow progress, 

but soon they will marvel at the finished product. 

Oh, how they will marvel.

I will complete the work I have started in your heart, 

and I will take you to places you have never known. 

You are My work. No matter what happens, 

remember, you are My work. 

Rest now we have so much work to do.

Meditate on My Word: Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ - Philippians 1:6 

Speak It By Faith. Speak Now. (7.8.14)

My Child,

Prophesize over your dry areas. 

Speak to the mountains in your way

and I will call forth those things which are not as though they were. 

Speak it by faith, without doubting, 

and watch your impossibilities turn into miracles. 

With you these things were impossible, 

but with absolute faith in Me all things are possible. 

Listen to My voice and come into My presence this day

 and you will find that which you have been seeking. 

I will give you fresh revelation 

which will bring you to a new level 

of understanding of things to come. 

So, speak now, the word of the Lord

and I will breathe new life into every dead area of your life. 

Speak now, and silence the voice of the enemy. 

Speak now, and be not afraid to step out in faith, 

for I have gone before you preparing the way. 

Speak now, and you will rejoice with unspeakable joy

for what I have done in your life.

Rom 4:17 - (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even GOD, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.

You are Ready, Because the Lord has Prepared You (7.7.14)

 ****The Lord wants to remind you that He is at work in your life****

Beloved,
I know it seems I have allowed you to be tested beyond what you thought you could bear, 

and that you’ve come to the edge of defeat and failure. 

However, it is during those times you have found out how much I love you, 

and that I would never leave nor forsake you.

I was there with you the entire time, in the midst of all you were going through. 

My hand was always upon you and the situation; 

I never took My eyes off of you. 

What you thought was going to take you under, only made you stronger. 

I have been preparing you and building you up for such a time as this.

I know at times you felt others did not understand you 

— much less did you understand yourself! 

Confusion covered you, and you felt alone. 

You felt everything around you seemed to be closed off to you. 

While you were hidden away, I was working. 

Look at what being closed off has done for you; 

now, you are coming forth refined as pure gold. 

You are not the same person you once were. 

You are becoming more like Me. Isn't that what you wanted?

Begin to say, “Christ dwells in me; He is mine, and I am His.”

All that you went through and all that was done to you; 

I have taken and used it. 

All the past mistakes and failures which were meant to destroy or even kill you, 

I have taken and formed you into a strong warrior. 

You may have scars, but they are the marks of your testing. 

They are medals of your battles. 

Lift your head up and say, “The Lord has prevailed in my life.” 

Look forward, no longer hang on to the past. 

There is nothing there for you anymore.

Remember the words I have spoken 

and get ready to move forward. 

All is before you; nothing is behind you. 

Hold on to My words and reject the lies of the past. 

You have been prepared, so stand and listen to My voice. 

I have seasoned you with tests and trials; so now you are ready. 

You are ready, because I have prepared you.

There is Peace, Love, Joy & Power - In Jesus' Name (7.6.14)

God Morning Faith Believers,

As I was praying this morning I found myself saying Jesus over and over again. 

Then I heard the Spirit say,
“Tell them to just call Me, say My name, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.
All you need is in My name. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.

Jesus, say it… say it often. Jesus.

Say it until you feel the peace of My love taking control.

Jesus… In My name there is love. In My name there is peace.

In My name there is joy.

All you need is in My name. Jesus, say it…. Jesus.

There is power in My name.

Abraham called Me, Jehovah Jireh; I am your provider.

Moses called Me, Jehovah Ropheka; I am your healer.

Gideon called Me, Jehovah Shalom; I am your peace,

David called Me, Jehovah Rohi; I am your shepherd. JESUS

Call Me; I love to hear you call My name… Yes, I am Jesus

Oh Jesus, how I love to call your name. 

Jesus, Jesus, the heavens move at the sound of your name. 

Jesus, my provider; Jesus, my healer.

Jesus you are my peace."

Start Trusting the Gifts God has Given You (7.4.14)

My Precious Child,

Why do you listen to those unkind words from the enemy of your soul? 

Those are not my thoughts of you. 

Start trusting the gifts that I’ve given you and stop doubting yourself. 

The enemy is trying to convince you that you will fail. 

He is trying to convince you that you didn't hear My voice. 

If he can do this, he will have victory over you. 

Not only will he have the victory over you, 

but he will rob others that are waiting to be blessed by you. 

I need you to go forth and bless My people.

At this very moment you are being delivered of this mindset. 

Believe Me, I AM going to place you in a position 

that demands more than you think you have. 

I know you already feel like you are being stretched. 

I AM allowing you to go through these challenging assignments 

to break the confinements caused by your unbelief's'. 

If I trust you, why can’t you trust yourself? 

I created you, so don’t you think I know more about you than you do? 

Trust Me, you will come through this.

Meditate on My Word: Jeremiah 1:4-12

Rest In Knowing That All is Well (7.3.14)

Beloved,
I know that you may feel like I have overlooked or forgotten about you.

But I assure you, I have not. 

I understand the pressure you have been under. 

I see that you’re stirred up, and want to scream, because you think you aren’t accomplishing anything, or going anywhere. However, what you don’t understand is that I am working. I am destroying the obstacles within you that have hindered you from entering into the new things that I have for you.

Do you not realize that I am right there with you?  Equipping you, and giving you, the tools needed in order to fulfill the call that I have placed on your life. I want you to have the best; that is why I have you in the very place you are in right now. I know it may not feel wonderful right now; but very soon, you will understand why it had to be this way.

Meanwhile, allow Me to comfort you in this tough time. 

Allow Me to remind you that after something is broken; 

even after death, the Master Potter will bring about a beautiful resurrection. 

Remember, I was wounded, bruised, and put to death; but nothing could ever compare to the glorious resurrection that came after all My suffering. So, the suffering you are enduring now cannot compare to the glory soon to come.

Therefore, do not be discouraged; 

for all things are working for your good. 

And this road you’re traveling 

is accomplishing things in your life 

that will bring forth pure gold; 

causing your latter to be greater than your former. 

Rest in knowing, all is well.

A Peace Prayer (7.2.14)

Almighty GOD and Loving Shepherd,

You are Jehovah Shalom - the GOD of peace.

Your Word says,"Because the Lord is my Shepherd, I have everything I need! 

He lets me rest in the meadow grass 

and leads me beside the quiet streams." - Psalm 23:1-2 TLB

Lord, you give us rest and lead us beside quiet streams. 

Thank you that you are helping me to hear your gentle voice. 

Thank you that you are helping me to be able to follow you to the quiet streams.

Lord, you say your ways are ways of pleasantness and all your paths are peace. 

Thank you that you want to guide me to a new level of peace.

Help me to find your comforting peace.  

Help me to follow your peace. 

Show me how to muffle all the noise around me.

Show me how to rest in your arms.

Your Word tells us, do not to be afraid of people and their reactions. 

May I begin to let go of any anxiety about what people think of me 

and know that you are the only one I must worship.

I know that you love me Lord, so help me to draw closer to you 

so I can feel your peace which surpass all understanding.

I pray this prayer in the name of your son, Jesus Christ. 

Amen

You Must Now Fight the Good Fight of Faith (7.1.14)

My Child,
You are wondering what to do,
for your situation seems hopeless.

But, I say, this is not a hopeless situation.
For I have given you dominion, authority, power and MY NAME!

And I say, what you must now do is bind the strong man
and fight the good fight of faith.
Rise up as mighty men and women, put on the armor of GOD
and take up the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of GOD.

Confront the enemy and break the power that is hindering you!
Stand on the authority that I have given you.
Do not allow the enemy to hold you down any longer.

Turn away from all disappointment, despair and heartache.
Encourage yourself with My Word.

For I AM with you, and if I Am with you, who can be against you?
Whom shall you fear?
I AM the Anointed One. I am the beginning and the end.
I am Jehovah Shammah (ever present GOD).

I will anoint you and fill you with my power.
Receive My anointing right now and watch the strong man,
who is the enemy of your soul,
flee from you in seven different ways.

NOW FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH!
