God Knows & Understands Everything; He is All-Powerful, Omnipotent and Sovereign (10.30.14)
Oh LORD GOD! Behold, You have made the heavens and the
earth by Your great power and by Your outstretched arm! Nothing is too
difficult for You - Jeremiah 32:17
Because GOD is everywhere all of the time, know
that He is omniscient.
He knows everything. This attribute of
GOD should give us comfort
in knowing the Lord is forever present.
He
not only knows every detail of our lives, but He knows the deep hurts
and needs
of the billions of inhabitants on this earth.
As we focus on GOD and His
omniscience, we can pray with a new confidence.
When we do not understand
life’s circumstances, we can rest assured that He does.
That is why Proverbs
1:7 says, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.”
GOD knows everything, while we only know and understand in
part.
But when we focus on the omniscience of GOD and revere Him,
we will then
begin to know and understand life.
We will be able to pray effectively when we
recognize that
only He knows and understands everything.
GOD not only knows everything all of the time in every
place,
but He also is all-powerful. He is omnipotent and sovereign.
When Jesus
was placed in a tomb after His death,
the demons wanted to keep Him there; but
the Father raised
the Son from the dead after three days.
And Jesus said to His disciples, before ascending to heaven,
'All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations - Matthew 28:18–19'.
the Son from the dead after three days.
And Jesus said to His disciples, before ascending to heaven,

Powerful praying and powerful witnessing are a result of
having experienced GOD in His sovereign reign.
Power and authority do not belong to any person or thing.
Power and authority belong to GOD.
Nobody can stop the move of the Spirit of GOD.
There is nothing too difficult for GOD.

Trust in the Lord (10.28.14)
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart;
and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. -
For the LORD shall be thy
confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken. -
And he said unto Me, My grace is
sufficient for thee: for My strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in My infirmities, that the power of
Christ may rest upon Me. -
Beloved.
You have known in your heart that you have the power.
You have known in your heart that you have the power.
All the power that you need is within you.
You must learn to use it.
It is up to you to use it.
Do not hold back on what I have given you.
You must learn to trust Me.

Hold on. Trust and believe in the promises I have
given you. I have not left you.
I have not abandoned you. I am leading you, hearing
and answering your prayers.

into alignment with My Word.
Whenever you are weak, feast in Me.
For I am Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

Faith Believers,
Faith Believers,
There are times when the Lord assigns certain tasks to
us.
It is in those times that we need to trust in Him
for all we need, to get the job done.
We must not allow circumstances to dictate
whether or not we will obey GOD.
We must be obedient, and know that He is with us in all that we do.
He will never ask us to do anything, without the way already being made.
He would never allow us to fail.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t feel worthy enough,
for we all have fallen short to the Glory of GOD.
What matters is your willingness to the Lord.
He has already looked beyond your faults, He knows you can do it.
You must use what He has blessed you with.
You must use what is in your hands, which is His Word.
Thank GOD for what you have, trust GOD for what you need.

Putting on Your "Spiritual Warfare" Armor (10.27.14)
Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty
power. Put on all of GOD’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against
all the strategies of the devil. - Ephesians
6:10-11
Faith Believers,
We cannot fight in our own strength.
That is why GOD has given us spiritual armor
to defend ourselves from our enemy. (See Ephesians 6:10-18)
Here are the 6 pieces of armor you need for spiritual war.
That is why GOD has given us spiritual armor
to defend ourselves from our enemy. (See Ephesians 6:10-18)
Here are the 6 pieces of armor you need for spiritual war.
- The “Belt of Truth”The belt of truth holds everything together. Jesus said, I
am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father , except
through me. - John 14:6. Jesus is the Truth. Jesus called the Holy
Spirit the “Spirit of Truth.” (See John 16:13) Jesus
said the Bible is truth GOD uses to sanctify us. (See John 17:17) As
we get everything that is untruthful out of our lives, we become more and more
like Jesus, and safer from spiritual attack. Without Jesus, you are unclothed
and unprotected during battle. Accept Jesus today so you can be ready for battle with
the belt of truth.
- The “Breastplate of Righteousness”The breastplate of righteousness protects our heart. “This
righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe - Romans 3:22.
Jesus makes us a new person created to desire Godly things. (See Ephesians
4:22-24) But it is His righteousness, given to us, (See 2 Corinthians 5:21) that we trust in, and not our own.
- The “Shield of Faith”The shield of faith is our trust in the promises of Jesus.
Focusing on GOD’s faithfulness can block accusations, doubts and temptations
that attempt to attack us. (See Ephesians 6:16)
- The “Helmet of Salvation”The helmet of salvation protects our thoughts. Our enemy
falsely accuses and lies to us. 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 - 1 Thessalonians 5:8.
- The “Shoes of the Gospel”The shoes of the Gospel represent the readiness given by the
Gospel. It’s important to understand the truth about Jesus well enough to
explain it to others. That helps you to remain standing, even after some of the
worst attacks. It also makes your feet beautiful! How beautiful on the
mountains are the feet of the messenger who brings good new, the good news of peace
and salvation, the goodness that GOD reigns! - Isaiah
52:7.
- The “Sword of the Spirit”The sword of the spirit is the Word of GOD, and our only weapon of attack. We must become skilled in using it by reading our Bible daily and spending time with our Father.
Thank GOD for what you have, trust GOD for what you need.

The Great Power of Jesus' Love (10.26.14)

For I do not hold anything back.
My love caused Me to give up everything for you,
and this has not changed.
Many of you have yet to know the incredible power of that love,
and how much it will still change you to make you into something beautiful.
You cannot earn this love.
My love is freely given, so revel in it and receive it.
Yes, My love is a gift to you and does not come with any cost,
because the price was paid when My Father sent Me to walk amongst men..
It was a free gift from the foundation of the earth, and it has not changed.

Spend time with God, in Prayer & Meditation, Every Day (10.25.14)
Faith Believers,
Understand, satan’s goal is to keep people from GOD.
he attacks our thoughts with lies, temptation and guilt;
so we will doubt our salvation in Jesus.
he even steals our joy.
But he can never take away your salvation, because “the One
Who lives in you, is stronger than the one who is in the world."
The enemy of your soul will send all kind of people
and things into your life to destroy you.
Some people will come as Angels of light,
and you will know them by the fruit they bear.
Some you will recognize right away because
their spirit and demeanor will reek of satan.
Most of the time people do not have to open their mouth,
for the Lord will show you who they are through the things that they do.
That's why it is important to develop a relationship
with our Father and Savior, because the devil has come
to steal, kill and destroy whatever he can.
The only thing he will respect is the Word of GOD.
Spending time with the Lord each and everyday, in prayer
and meditation, is the only way to beat the enemy at his game.
The Lord will protect those who are faithful to Him, those who love Him.
Put satan under your feet, where he belongs, by rebuking him,
in the name of Jesus, each time he rears his ugly head.
Pray for those people that the enemy is using.
The workers of satan fail to realize that he has already been defeated
and he has no power to harm a child of GOD.
Stay in prayer, and believe that you are
going to recieve the victory over all your situations.

And painful as it may be, it is a process that we cannot avoid.
I say "we," because I will be with you until the end.
Remember, I promised never to leave you, nor forsake you.
Together, we will make it through.
And you will begin to confess over and over, even in your sleep,

Surely I have been crucified with Christ.”

Everything You are Going Through is Working Out for Your Good. Rejoice! (10.22.14)
We are troubled on every side, yet
not distressed: We are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not
forsaken; Cast down, but not destroyed. - 2 Corinthians 4:8-9
Beloved,
Just as Paul suffered in his ministry, and I suffered in mine,
so shall you suffer in the walk you have chosen.
After all you have chosen to follow Me.
Yet, I want you to be just as faithful as
My servant Paul, he didn’t give up.
Trouble surrounded him many times,
but he knew at all times I could see him through.
Why? Because, Paul knew that trouble doesn’t last forever.
I must allow you to suffer as My Father allowed Me to suffer.
I never said it was going to be easy, but I always promised
you that I would be with you.
Remember, I told you I would never forsake you,
nor leave you. My Words are true.
I am always watching over you.
My prayer in the garden wasn’t just for Me,
it was for all of My sheep.
I cried out in the garden; I cried out to My Father three times.
It was there I told My Father, nevertheless. Say it with Me.
NEVERTHELESS. NEVERTHELESS.
That is your word, your breakthrough word, use it with My name.
My name is JESUS.
Now press your way through Beloved.
Each test has a purpose, and each test will make you
wiser and stronger. I want you to be more like Me.
Everything you are going through is working out for your good.
Yes, it hurts. I know you want to give up,
but you can’t, because trouble won't last forever.
Think it not strange when a fiery trial comes upon you,
as though some strange thing has happened. It isn’t strange.
Look at how My disciples suffered, and how they were changed.
Oh, look at how suffering changed Job. Rejoice!
Push your way through the storm. Rejoice I say rejoice!
Trouble won’t last forever.
Again, I know it’s hard, but you have to know that I am with you;
and guiding you through the storm.
Think of how bad it would be if I wasn’t with you,
in the midst of the storm, holding back the winds and the waves of the sea.
Stop looking at the situations and the circumstances
of this life, and focus on My glory.
Yes focus on Me, because I am the only one
that can change your situation.
Lift your eyes up and look unto the hills
from whence cometh your help, because trouble won’t last always.
You should know, that at the end of the storm will be your blessing.
Yes, there is a Lily in the Valley,
and it is as bright as the MORNING STAR.
There is a ROSE OF SHARON springing up
in the midst of your desert,
because your breakthrough is HERE.
Your deliverance is HERE.
The time has come for you to be blessed.
Beloved,
Just as Paul suffered in his ministry, and I suffered in mine,
so shall you suffer in the walk you have chosen.
After all you have chosen to follow Me.
Yet, I want you to be just as faithful as
My servant Paul, he didn’t give up.
Trouble surrounded him many times,
but he knew at all times I could see him through.
Why? Because, Paul knew that trouble doesn’t last forever.
I must allow you to suffer as My Father allowed Me to suffer.
I never said it was going to be easy, but I always promised
you that I would be with you.
Remember, I told you I would never forsake you,
nor leave you. My Words are true.
I am always watching over you.
My prayer in the garden wasn’t just for Me,
it was for all of My sheep.
I cried out in the garden; I cried out to My Father three times.
It was there I told My Father, nevertheless. Say it with Me.
NEVERTHELESS. NEVERTHELESS.
That is your word, your breakthrough word, use it with My name.
My name is JESUS.
Now press your way through Beloved.
Each test has a purpose, and each test will make you
wiser and stronger. I want you to be more like Me.
Everything you are going through is working out for your good.
Yes, it hurts. I know you want to give up,
but you can’t, because trouble won't last forever.
Think it not strange when a fiery trial comes upon you,
as though some strange thing has happened. It isn’t strange.
Look at how My disciples suffered, and how they were changed.
Oh, look at how suffering changed Job. Rejoice!
Push your way through the storm. Rejoice I say rejoice!
Trouble won’t last forever.
Again, I know it’s hard, but you have to know that I am with you;
and guiding you through the storm.
Think of how bad it would be if I wasn’t with you,
in the midst of the storm, holding back the winds and the waves of the sea.
Stop looking at the situations and the circumstances
of this life, and focus on My glory.
Yes focus on Me, because I am the only one
that can change your situation.
Lift your eyes up and look unto the hills
from whence cometh your help, because trouble won’t last always.
You should know, that at the end of the storm will be your blessing.
Yes, there is a Lily in the Valley,
and it is as bright as the MORNING STAR.
There is a ROSE OF SHARON springing up
in the midst of your desert,
because your breakthrough is HERE.
Your deliverance is HERE.
The time has come for you to be blessed.
~ Prayer ~
Heavenly Father,
I am so grateful that trouble won’t last forever.
I know, that as long as I have You in my life,
I will always be victorious.
I am so grateful for your amazing Grace,
and even though things sometimes seem to be unstable,
I will rejoice in your Holy Name, in spite of.
I know you are with me because Your Word said,
You will never leave me nor forsake me.
Thank you Lord God for all trials,
because I know I will overcome them all,
in Your name.
I offer this prayer in Your Son Jesus' name,
Amen

Release Past Issues; Embrace a Life of New Season & New Changes (10.21.14)
My Child,
In this season, I am going to open many doors

God Loves a Humble Heart (10.20.14)
If we claim we have no sin, we are only
fooling ourselves and not living in the truth. But if we confess our sins to
Him, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all
wickedness - I John 1:8-9
Imagine that a well-known preacher has just spoken at your
church service.
The preacher is wearing nice clothes and people are crowding
around him
so they can shake his hand. Then just a few feet away, you spot a criminal
who has recently been released from prison. He is poorly dressed,
smells worse than he looks, and no one wants to go near him or talk to him.
so they can shake his hand. Then just a few feet away, you spot a criminal
who has recently been released from prison. He is poorly dressed,
smells worse than he looks, and no one wants to go near him or talk to him.
As the preacher talks to his admirers, you are surprised to hear him say things
such as: “I am a really good person, because I preach really good messages
and never break any of GOD’s rules” - or - “People should follow my example.
I do not break the law, like that bad criminal over there.”
As you draw closer, you notice the criminal is crying.
He buries his face in his hands and falls to his knees.
He cries out to GOD and says, “Lord, please forgive me for all I have done!
I am a terrible sinner, and I need You to change my life.”
He buries his face in his hands and falls to his knees.
He cries out to GOD and says, “Lord, please forgive me for all I have done!
I am a terrible sinner, and I need You to change my life.”
Who would you rather be like? The preacher who showed up
to GOD’s House bragging about his own goodness?
Or the humble criminal who knew he was unworthy,
and desperately needed GOD’s forgiveness?
Remember, “The sacrifices of GOD are a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart…” (See Psalm 51:17.)
GOD loves a humble heart.
If you want to repent, the first thing you must do
is recognize your sin. After you recognize your sin,
humbly confess your sin to GOD and agree with Him
about how serious it is.
The last step to repentance is to thank GOD for His forgiveness,
and ask Him for the Holy Spirit’s power to turn away from that sin.

The Goal of Prayer is to Glorify God Our Father (10.19.14)
And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son
may bring glory to the Father - John 14:13
The goal of prayer is to get what we pray for, right? Wrong.
The goal of Christian prayer is to glorify the Father through His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. GOD is glorified through the accomplishments of His will and the advancements of His Kingdom on earth. The Father is glorified by our obedience, spiritual growth and deepening relationship with Him.
Since we often ask for things outside of His Will, things that will not advance His Kingdom; we must develop our spiritual maturity and enrich our relationship with Him. Unanswered prayer is a part of the normal Christian life. It is not an indication that GOD isn’t listening to us. Nevertheless, most of us persist in thinking, "there must be some way to get Him to give me what I ask."
More than a few are convinced that "things" such as: good works, offerings, vows, extreme discipline, praying at “holy” places, using blessing cloths, oil, icons, candles, persistence (repetition), and getting "large numbers to intercede" will incline GOD to listen to their prayers. Such ideas assume that there are "ways" to get “spiritual leverage” and apply “power” or “authority,” to facilitate receiving the answers that we “want.” There is no evidence in scripture that this is the case.
Does GOD lack, of course not.
Is He dependent on anything we might give, devote,
vow or sacrifice to and for Him? He is not.
The Bible says GOD doesn’t need
anything
we promise or give to Him.
Is there any way we can obligate Him?
The Bible clearly says, we can never obligate, manipulate or control GOD.
The Bible clearly says, we can never obligate, manipulate or control GOD.
GOD controls all things and is all powerful!!!
If you are
praying for something and GOD has not answered,
it could be that what you are praying for is not His will for your life.
it could be that what you are praying for is not His will for your life.
Our Father know what is
best for us.
For from him and through him and to him are all things:
to
whom be glory for ever. Amen - Romans 11:34-36, ESV
Awesome and Loving Father,
You don’t need anything I have to give, and yet,
You have promised to give me everything I need!
Your Word is clear, that all things are under Your control,
and that my prayers should always glorify You.
Help me to continually look for ways to bring pleasure to Your heart;
and to always be aware of Your holy presence.
May my life be set upon the things that are upon Your heart,
attentive to whatever You call me to be
and to do in and for Your kingdom!
In the name of Your Son Jesus,
Amen

It is a Faith Walk. Whatever We Confess is What We Shall Receive (10.17.14)
Faith Believers,
GOD’s method for us to receive His blessings is found in 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.” In addition, in Mark 11:24, Jesus said,
“Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe
that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.”
In order to receive, we must
believe and confess what we read.
Our faith in GOD’s Word comes from hearing
and hearing by the word of GOD. (See Romans 10:17.)
GOD has already provided us with the key to receive what we desire from Him.
GOD has already provided us with the key to receive what we desire from Him.
However, if we don’t use the key, the door will never open.
We will never have
more than what we believe and confess.
For with the heart, we believe; and with
our mouth,
confession is made unto salvation. (See Romans 10:10.)
We can’t believe
beyond what we are saying out loud.
Our Lord and Savior operates on faith-filled
words.
Whatever we confess is what we shall receive,
and if we choose to
confess the wrong words,
we are neglecting the faith we should have in the
Lord.
You may find yourself saying, “I just can’t make up my mind,
whether I will confess His Word or anything else,
however nothing seems to be working.”
Well, the Lord said in His Word that He knows you,
He knows your works, and He would rather you make a choice.
However, you don’t know if you want to be on fire
with His Living Word, or cold and dead.
That’s ok, because the Lord will decide for you.
He has said that because you are lukewarm and straddling the fence.
He knows your works, and He would rather you make a choice.
However, you don’t know if you want to be on fire
with His Living Word, or cold and dead.
That’s ok, because the Lord will decide for you.
He has said that because you are lukewarm and straddling the fence.
He doesn’t want anything lukewarm in His
mouth,
therefore, He chooses to spit you out of His mouth. (See Revelations 3:15-16.)
Just as your negative confession will bring negative results,
Just as your negative confession will bring negative results,
a neutral
confession, which is not a confession at all,
produces the same as a negative
confession.
GOD operates on Faith Words.
If we want to experience the blessings
of healing
and the abundant life that Jesus hung, bled and died on the cross
to give us, then
we must repent and renew ourselves
with the divine plan that GOD has established for us
to receive His blessings.
Now, we know what we should be doing;
with the divine plan that GOD has established for us
to receive His blessings.
Now, we know what we should be doing;
therefore, let us start
confessing His Word out loud, daily.
One more thing, confessing His Word is not all that
we have to do to receive the blessings and benefits
that Jesus has already provided for us.
We must HOLD FAST TO OUR PROFESSION OF FAITH,
WITHOUT WAVERING, FOR HE IS FAITHFUL
THAT PROMISED. (See Hebrews 10:23.)
This means, when the blessings don’t come when we expect it;
we must not allow doubt to come into our heart and
cause us to speak flesh-filled, not spirit-filled words.
Remember, what you confess, is what you will possess;
and His Word said, “Ask in faith, nothing wavering.
Let not that person think that they shall receive anything of the Lord;
for a double-minded, person is unstable” - James 1:6-8.We confessed and believed in the Lord to receive salvation.
Therefore, let us confess and believe in the Lord
to receive His blessings. It’s a faith walk.
We must begin to speak what GOD has said concerning our life,
and allow Him to show us the power behind His Words;
so they will manifest in our life as reality.
Let us return and follow the plan the Lord has laid out for us, His Children.
After all, He left us with plans to prosper, to give us hope and a future.
(See Jeremiah 29:11.)
I don’t know about you, but I would rather have His plans, than mine.

Learning Faith Lessons from the Apostle Paul (10.12.14)
Faith Believers,
Scripture states that our chief enemy is satan. “For our
struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the
authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual
forces of evil in the heavenly realms”- Ephesians 6:12. Therefore, we
should recognize that behind our flesh and blood enemies ultimately satan is at
work.
The Apostle Paul probably understood this concept more fully
than any of the disciples or other believers. At one time, he persecuted the
followers of Jesus, even casting his vote to have many put to death, while he
watched in approval. A case could certainly be made that Paul considered all
believers to be his enemies, and vice versa.
But when GOD got Paul’s attention
on the road to Damascus, which ultimately led to Paul's salvation through Jesus, Paul grasped for the first time, the mercy of the Lord. He understood that the
followers of Jesus were not his enemies, and at that moment, GOD gave Paul tremendous insight
about the real enemy – satan.
Paul went from being an enemy of GOD, to a child of GOD; through
a personal encounter with Jesus. Paul described the difference, from personal
experience to the Philippian church: “For, as I have often told you before and
now say again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ.
Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in
their shame. Their mind is on earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven” - Philippians 3:18-20a.
It is also important to remember that, like Paul, each of us
was at one time an enemy of GOD: “Since we now have been justified by His
blood, how much more shall we be saved from GOD’s wrath through Him! For if,
when we were GOD’s enemies, we were reconciled to Him through the death of His
Son, how much more, having been reconciled shall we be saved through His life?
Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in GOD through our Lord Jesus Christ,
through whom we have now received reconciliation” - Romans 5:9-11.
Because we
have experienced the mercy of GOD,
should we not also extend it to others?
Bless & Be Blessed,
Marilyn
Chaney
Merciful Father,
My life is whole and new, since I began a relationship with
Jesus,
even when I go through disappointments and struggles.
There are so many who believe You to be their enemy,
when satan is the one who is making their lives
miserable and dysfunctional.
Please use me to bring Your light and mercy
into the lives of those around me
who are in the midst of difficult circumstances.
In the name of Your Son Jesus,
Father I pray.

It Is Time to Remember Your Faith & Walk "The Faith Path." All Your Needs will be Supplied. (10.11.14)
My Child,
Remember when you walked with Me in complete faith,
and fear was not a part of your life?
Well, let Me take you back to the beginning,
lest you forget the way it was, the way it has been
and the way it should be.
In the beginning, there was darkness, and My Spirit hovered over the places of the deep. I spoke and there was light. I AM the one who breathed life into this world. Remember, I AM the one who took nothing, and made it into something.
Remember, I AM He who sees a barren womb and speaks life into it.
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.
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 I told you, 'let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid'. Remember I told you 'fear not, for I have not given you a spirit of fear, but a spirit of power of love and of a sound mind'. I said 'in all things come to Me and in all things take time to pray'. I hear the prayers you whisper, the prayers you sing, and I even hear the prayers you weep. Oh yes, I hear those too.
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 oppression? And why My child, are you walking by sight, instead of by faith?
It is time to remember faith. How, you ask?
Remember faith by lifting your head to the hills
from whence cometh your help,
and by filling your heart and your mouth
with My Words.
Oh, My child, 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 walk the straight and narrow. 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.
and fear was not a part of your life?
Well, let Me take you back to the beginning,
lest you forget the way it was, the way it has been
and the way it should be.
In the beginning, there was darkness, and My Spirit hovered over the places of the deep. I spoke and there was light. I AM the one who breathed life into this world. Remember, I AM the one who took nothing, and made it into something.
Remember, I AM He who sees a barren womb and speaks life into it.
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.
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 I told you, 'let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid'. Remember I told you 'fear not, for I have not given you a spirit of fear, but a spirit of power of love and of a sound mind'. I said 'in all things come to Me and in all things take time to pray'.

Yes, I know it is narrow, but this is the path of faith and it will bring you truth and life.
Once more, I tell you to remember.
Remember that I have promised to supply all your needs
according to My riches in Glory.
Not some, but all of your needs will be supplied.
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, but I will hold you and comfort you.
Come now, into My arms and you will find peace and rest.
Remember beloved, without faith it is impossible to please Me.
I want you to know that I have power over everything that is happening in your life.
Nothing catches me by surprise so trust me.
And walk with Me in faith.

Be Bold & Courageous; Keep Praying and Trust in God's Grace (10.9.14)
My Child,
I have not forgotten you.
You cannot even begin to
imagine
how much I love and care for you.
I have chosen you for such a time as

I know that you are weary, because you have been
stuck where you are for such a long time.

Take a good look at yourself....
can’t you see how strong you’ve become?
Why would
you even think of turning back to your old lifestyle

Take control
of what you are going through,
just as you did in past times, with prayer and faith in Me.

Learning to Receive Blessings & Love (10.7.14)
My Child,
You may think that people don't care about you,
however there are people in your life who love you,
and truly care for you.
Sometimes it's hard for you to recognize,
because you are so busy caring for them.
You've always felt more comfortable giving than receiving.
You feel strange and tend to resist when
someone is trying to show their love for you.
However, I am opening your eyes so that you can see
how much you are cared for and loved.
Yes My Child, I know it is more blessed to give than receive,
but right now, you need to receive.
I want you to experience what you have given to others.
Do not worry, I will not allow you to become prideful.
Learning to receive is an area in which you need to grow.
Yes, it will feel strange, but do not push others away
who want to bless you.
How can others receive their blessings if you
don’t allow them to bless you?
Do not block their blessings, but rather receive their love.
My Little Ones, there will be many blessings of love
coming to you from those who love you, and from Me.
Psalms 24:5 - He shall receive a blessing from the LORD And righteousness from the GOD of his salvation.

A Time to Let Go & Move Forward, With No Regrets, Forgetting All Pain & Loss (10.5.14)
My Child,
It is time for you to let go
and prepare to move forward without regret.
Distress and sorrow will only keep you bound to the past.
Now is the time to release everything that has caused you to mourn.
Once you have deliberately let go,

Find some time to spend with Me,
and cast all that burdens you at My feet.
Come and let us fellowship together.
Allow My love to wash away the pain of the past
and renew your spirit.

Do Not Be Weary. Come into Jesus' Presence, Be Still, Release Every Burden and Just Rest (10.3.14)
Beloved,
You have been feeling tired
and your energy seems to have
slipped away.
Nevertheless, I say unto you, do not be weary in well doing.
Make
sure that what you are doing is according to My will and not yours alone. Such
things seem good in the beginning, but after a while, they begin to take more
and more energy to keep going. Come into My presence and be still. Release
every burden, every disturbing thought and emotion, and just rest.
Do you remember when I went to the mountain to be alone and spend time with My Father in prayer? I did this for a time of refreshing, to stay close with My Father. This is what you need to do. As you are quiet before Me, I will comfort you, fill you to overflow with the Holy Spirit, and release healing and restoration into your entire being.
Take some time to reconnect with Me,

delivers.

Serving our God with a Pure Life, a Pure Tongue, a Pure Heart, a Pure Mind and Pure Actions (10.2.14)
Woe is me, for I am ruined! Because I am a man of unclean
lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the
King, the Lord of hosts - Isaiah 6:5
Isaiah was specific in his confession.
There was a particular area of his life that needed
the cleansing of GOD — the sin of an impure tongue.
There was a particular area of his life that needed
the cleansing of GOD — the sin of an impure tongue.
When he saw a holy, righteous and glorious GOD;
he could not help but ask God to purge and cleanse his lips.
The high praises of God could never come from impure lips.
he could not help but ask God to purge and cleanse his lips.
The high praises of God could never come from impure lips.
Isaiah had an immensely high view of GOD.
Such a view will spotlight the impurities of our lives.
Many Christians pray, “Forgive me of my sins.”
But such praying produces little repentance.
Repentance is the forerunner of forgiveness,
and God desires to forgive and cleanse His children.
He loves us and wants to remove the burden of guilt.
But we must be specific in our confession and repentance of sin.
~ A Cleansing Prayer ~
Lord of Hosts,
You are holy, righteous and glorious!
Cleanse my heart, my mind and my actions before You
so that I may serve You out of a pure life.
Show me how to quickly confess anything
that grieves Your Holy Spirit,
and pour out Your forgiveness
as I name those things that keep me
from living like Jesus!
Wash me and make me new again
as I seek to honor Your Name Lord!
Amen

Take Time to Focus Your Attention on God's Greatness and Love; and Not Your Problems (10.1.14)
Faith Believers,
We sing songs about our God being an AWESOME GOD.
We praise Him for His Glory and His Power.
We talk about the 'miraculous things' He has done,
and we give thanks for His Great Love.
However, today I ask you, “Do you really believe that GOD is bigger than your problems? Do you believe, right now, that GOD can help you in your very difficult, seemingly hopeless situation? Do you believe that GOD is with you in the midst of what you are going through? Do you believe GOD when He says, “I will never leave you, nor forsake you?"
It is one thing to talk about an All-Powerful GOD,
but it is another thing to actually believe
that He is right there, with you,
and available for you today.
Do you believe GOD is bigger than your problems?
OH YES, HE IS!!!
GOD is fully capable of meeting, if not exceeding, every impossible situation or decision that we face. Doing the impossible is GOD's specialty. We serve a GOD who looks at the impossible and says, “I Am Possible.”
However, there is a problem with seeing the impossible become possible; FAITH. GOD said without faith, it is impossible to please GOD! So, today is our chance to please GOD. Yes, it is our time to show the Lord how much we love Him by having faith and believing in His Word.
Take time today to focus our attention on GOD, and not our problems. Right where you are, you can tell Him you love Him, and that it’s your deepest desire to 'trust Him'. Think for a moment of His greatness and remember a situation where GOD did the impossible in your life. PRAISE THE LORD! When you focus on His Greatness and His Love, and not your problems; GOD can and will do the impossible in your life.
Today, trust GOD to handle all that concerns you.
And don't tell Him how you think He should work it out;
just give it to Him and 'leave it there!'
Then truly, truly be at peace and allow Him to guide you by His Spirit as to what you need to do. Don’t be surprised if He chooses to answer you in an unexpected way, after all, “He Is an Amazing GOD.” And do not put a time limit on GOD. He already knows what time it is!
Let GOD be GOD and allow Him to work it out
in His time, so all will be complete and in order.
He will not fail you!
Today, are you willing to come to GOD on His terms?
Today, can you let GOD out of the box,
and believe in Him for the impossible?
Today, do you know Him and love Him enough
that you can have faith that so pleases Him?
Our GOD is a Supernatural GOD that never leaves you
and delights in showing us Who He really is!
So, can we surrender all and allow Him to have His way
and show us Who He really Is?
Oh yes, our GOD is bigger than our problems. We just have to take our hands off our problems and have faith in His word. He loves us so much. Let’s show Him how much we love Him. Let’s please the Lord today by having faith in Him, and love Him with all of our heart. There is nothing GOD won't do for a heart that’s surrendered and filled with love for Him and that trusts in Him completely!
OH YES, OUR GOD IS AWESOME!!!
Mark 11:22 - And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in GOD.
Hebrews 11:6 - But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to GOD must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

in His time, so all will be complete and in order.
He will not fail you!
Today, are you willing to come to GOD on His terms?
Today, can you let GOD out of the box,
and believe in Him for the impossible?
Today, do you know Him and love Him enough
that you can have faith that so pleases Him?
Our GOD is a Supernatural GOD that never leaves you
and delights in showing us Who He really is!
So, can we surrender all and allow Him to have His way
and show us Who He really Is?
Oh yes, our GOD is bigger than our problems. We just have to take our hands off our problems and have faith in His word. He loves us so much. Let’s show Him how much we love Him. Let’s please the Lord today by having faith in Him, and love Him with all of our heart. There is nothing GOD won't do for a heart that’s surrendered and filled with love for Him and that trusts in Him completely!
OH YES, OUR GOD IS AWESOME!!!
Mark 11:22 - And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in GOD.
Hebrews 11:6 - But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to GOD must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
