A "God's Faithful Servant" Prayer (1.31.15)

Faithful Father,
I thank You for the promise You have given to your children. 

I'm thrilled at the thought that one day, 

every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess

that Jesus Christ is Lord. 

Yet my responsibility is for today…

That the ends of the earth, and that every person, 

will hear the good news of Jesus - and obey. 

So today Father, allow me to share the good news 

of Jesus Christ with someone. 

I pray Father, that their heart will be receptive to your call. 

I pray Father, that they will realize that you are the only true GOD, 

and beside You, there is no other. 

Your Word said You wish that none should perish, 
so on this day, Heavenly Father, place someone in my path 
that I can witness to. 

Please show me the part You will have me to play, 
so that I can be a faithful servant for Your Kingdom, Lord. 

Thank You Lord, for all that You have done
in my life; and all that You are going to do. 

Amen

4 Vital Things to Know to Win the Spiritual War (1.29.15)

We are human, but we do not wage war as humans do. We use GOD’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments. We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing GOD. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ. - 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 

Have you ever felt defeated and weak in your faith? 

The Bible teaches that we are in a spiritual war. 

There are 4 vital things to know in order to win the spiritual war:

1. The Battlefield is the Mind
   Our faith is based on GOD’s truth and promises. Doubt, guilt, and false teaching can weaken our faith. If we think the same way unbelievers do, it will keep us from knowing GOD. “....We must be transformed by the renewing of our minds” (Romans 12:2) In order to live a godly life, you must first have a personal relationship with Jesus.
    
2. The Enemy is Satan
   “For we are not fighting against flesh and blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world,...” (Ephesians 6:12). People are not our enemies. Our enemies are the spiritual forces of Satan. Satan is real, and the Bible calls him “the ruler of this world of sin” (1 John 5:19), the “Father of Lies”, a murderer (John 8:44), and “the Accuser” (Revelation 12:9-10).
   
   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 can’t take away our salvation, but he can steal our joy and destroy our desire to tell others about Jesus. Because Jesus wants us to be united in love, Satan tries to divide us and set us against each other.
   
3. Jesus has Won the Victory
   We are conquerors because Jesus defeated sin and death on the cross (Romans 8:31-39). Jesus sent us the Holy Spirit, a Helper who leads us in truth. (John 16:13). The Holy Spirit lives in us and gives us the power to have victory. “You had power over them because the One Who lives in you is stronger than the one who is in the world.” (1 John 4:4).
   
4. We have Godly Weapons (Ephesians 6:10-18)
   GOD gives us spiritual weapons to use against our enemy. Spending time reading the word of GOD each day will strengthen us to prevail over the enemy.  

Time To Move Forward & Move On (1.27.15)

My Child,
It is time to move forward. Do not delay in making the necessary changes that I have shown you. Each step that you fail to take, will cause you to lose your way, and to be out of step with Me.

Prepare your mind for action.

You know where I have called you to go, and now it is time that you begin to move out. Each delay will cause you to miss the opportunities that I have arranged for you and your door of opportunity.

So, please do not hesitate to take the first step in this new chapter of your life. Just as I have been with you in the past, I will continue to be with you. Therefore, let go of the things that are holding you back. Let them go.  You don’t need them anymore. What I have in store for you will be a huge blessing. However, you will miss it if you continue to look back, like Lot's wife did, and you know what looking back caused her. She lost everything, and I don’t want that to happen to you. 

I have gone before you to make a way for you to fulfill your destiny.

It’s time to leave the past behind you, for that is where it belongs… in the past. 

Put your  priorities in order and prepare to move as I direct you. There is much yet to do and there is no more time to procrastinate. Focus on what lies ahead and do not worry about the future. I am your future. I have everything in My Hands, so please, be obedient to My Word. 

Listen for My voice and move when I say move, 

then you will receive the blessings that I have planned for you.

MEDITATE ON MY WORD:

Deuteronomy 2:3 - You've been traveling around this hill country long enough; turn north.
Isaiah 30:21 - And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left. 
Philippians 3:13-14 - Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of GOD in Christ Jesus.

Realizing God is the Answer to All My Needs (1.26.15)

Faith Believers,

I realized that GOD is the Answer to every one of my needs! 

Every one of them! 

GOD has shown me that I must trust, praise and worship Him. This was so hard when my heart was hurting and needing answers immediately! I learned that as I praised Him and acknowledged Him (out loud) for Who He Is, my confidence grew in Him.

Today, I know that every time I am confronted with a situation that overwhelms me - I must first lay all of my burden at the feet of Jesus, I must take my hands off the situation and take time to praise and worship GOD!  

I sit in my chair, put on some worship music, read from the Word or just speak out words of Praise to my Father. If I am at work and become overwhelmed, I take a little walk or go to the restroom and speak words of trust and praise to my JEHOVAH.

You see beloved, when we pray to the Father, opposition will come against us. That opposition is the enemy. When you Praise the Father, acknowledging Who He Is, the demons have to flee! They can't stand our Worship of Jesus or the Father! So when you praise and worship GOD, you will run the demons off. 

Remember, nothing is impossible with GOD!

Now is the time to pray and call upon our Father, believing that He is fully capable of answering your every need.  Oh, how GOD loves to answer the believing and trusting heart!

God's Timing (1.25.15)

My Child,

My Word is a light unto your path and I will guide you every step of the way; but oftentimes, you want a floodlight to make the entire journey clear. If you knew everything that was ahead, you would be too afraid to step out in faith to reach your blessings. I AM the great I AM, and I know that if I show you one step at a time, you will build up the faith to overcome each step. Even though I have many good things planned for you, each one must come in the correct timing.  My timing.

Showing you too much, might tempt you to get ahead of My plans, and I don’t want you to be out of My Will for your life. Please do not think that I am withholding anything from you.  For I know your journey and I know how much you can handle. Trust in My timing to reveal your next step and to provide your provisions. Therefore, do not be discouraged just because the entire picture is not clear. Rather rejoice!  Because each step makes you stronger, wiser and equips you for something greater.

Be patient, rest in Me this day.
So you can be ready for the next step.

Remember..... (1.23.15)

My Child,

REMEMBER when you walked with Me in faith and not fear? 

Let Me take you back to the beginning, lest you forget the way it was, the way it has been, and the way that it will be. For in the beginning there was darkness, and My Spirit hovered over the places of the deep and spoke light. I AM the one who breathed life into this world. REMEMBER that I AM the one who took nothing, and made it into something. REMEMBER.

REMEMBER I AM He who sees a barren womb and speaks life. 

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, 

and 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.

REMEMBER I told you, 'let not your heart be troubled neither let it be afraid.'  REMEMBER I told you to fear not, for I have not given you a spirit of fear, but one of power, of love and of a sound mind. I said in all things come to Me. In all things, take time to pray. I hear the prayers that you whisper, the prayers that you sing, I even hear the prayers that you weep. 

Oh yes, I do hear. 

REMEMBER

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 fearfulness? And why, My child, are you walking by sight, instead of by faith? It is time to REMEMBER faith. Lift your head to the hills from whence cometh your help, and fill your heart and your mouth with My Words. REMEMBER.

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 stay on the straight and narrow path. 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.

Once more, REMEMBER.  

REMEMBER that I have promised to supply all your needs according to My riches in Glory. Not some, but all, of your needs. 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, I will hold you and comfort you. Come now, into My arms, and you will find peace, you will find rest, and please REMEMBER "I am the GREAT I AM and there is no other."

All power has been given to you from GOD your Father!
REMEMBER.

Turn Your Worries Over to God. Right Now. (1.22.15)

My Child,

Do not fear the mountains that you see looming ahead. 

Do not fear what is to come in the future, 

nor what awaits you at the horizon, but focus on me. 

Right now, as you look ahead, you are probably thinking,

"Oh no, another set of mountains to climb... I wonder what is going to happen.?"

Beloved, do not give in to worry. Worry is something designed to pull you down. Plus it really is something you don't have to be concerned with, because worry wants you to panic about things that have not even manifested yet. Take one step at a time and trust in My Son, Jesus.

Focus on the path that you are on right now. 

Trust Me and let Me direct each of your steps. 

The only foresight I want you to have,
is the fact that whatever lies ahead for you, is part of my plan!
I want you to stand on My Word and trust in Me completely.

So turn your worries over to Me.  Right now.  

Do not worry about what is to come, 

because I have promised you a future 

of hope and of much blessing. 

Focus on what is important right here and right now;

and give your whole heart to the task at hand, 

says the Lord.

Stretch Yourself & Ask in Faith - for This is Your Time, This is Your Season, Start Expecting. (1.21.15)

Faith Believers,

No matter what you are going through right now, expect to see the impossible begin to manifest in your life, in your ministry, in your businesses.  For GOD desires to do exceeding abundantly, above all you could ever ask of Him, above all you could ever even think!  Do you hear that?  He desires to do more than we can even think about!!!  

GOD is an awesome GOD!!!!

Can you dream the impossible?  Well, stretch yourself in faith, stretch yourself in vision and stretch out on the promises of GOD; for whatever you have in your heart to do for the Kingdom of GOD, He has something much greater in mind for you. 

Oh, but there’s something we must do to receive this.  We must ask in faith, believing that we have received what we've asked of the Lord.  Ask, and do not doubt.  Ask, and do not waver.  Ask, and just believe. 

GOD is calling us to a higher level of expectancy in everything we do.  

Settle for nothing less than the power of GOD in every area of your life.  

I believe the Lord is trying to tell us something.

   - Marilyn

Hear what the Lord Our God says:

My Child,

Expect to see the things that you haven't been able to shake or move,
to get out of your way as you speak the word of faith. 

Faith is the key to the supernatural.

With faith you can go to the throne in confidence and boldness,
requesting whatever you need, and knowing you have received it. 
For it is My desire to bless you with all you need.

As you make My Word the ultimate authority and final say in your life,
expect My promised blessings to overtake you. 
Expect ministries that have been 'un-heard of' to emerge with signs and wonders.
Expect circumstances that looked impossible to turn around quickly. 
Expect a turnaround in your finances. 
Expect your prophetic destiny to manifest.  

Expect miraculous healings like never before.  

This is your time, this is your season,
start expecting.

Meditation on God's Word:

Deuteronomy 28:2 - And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy GOD.

Galatians 3:20-21 - Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever.  Amen

James 1:6-7 - But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.  For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

The Listening Side of Prayer (1.20.15)

I keep asking that the GOD of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better - Ephesians 1:17

Elijah and Daniel both listened to GOD first, and then prayed. They based their prayers on what they had “heard.” Elijah heard GOD speak directly. 

Daniel heard GOD speak through the scripture. 

They took GOD’s revelation seriously. 

They took their prayer responsibility seriously. 

They understood the listening side of prayer.

Listening prayer is simply this: First, we listen, and then we pray. There are several different ways that we can listen. First, we can “hear” directly from GOD. When God the Father speaks, it is always through His Son and His Spirit. Of believers, Jesus said, “My sheep hear my voice . . .” - John 10:27, NASB. Hearing Jesus’ voice is direct hearing. Paul calls the Holy Spirit the “Spirit of . . . revelation” - Ephesians 1:17. This Spirit of revelation dwells within us; and is able to reveal what GOD wants to say directly to our hearts and minds. 

What we “hear” from GOD shapes our prayers, 

so that we know what to pray.

By listening, we may even learn when not to pray for something. At a time when the spirit of unrighteousness reigned in Israel, GOD said to Jeremiah, “Do not pray for this people nor offer any plea or petition for them: do not plead with me, for I will not listen to you” - Jeremiah 7:16.

The link between our prayers and GOD’s actions is so, tight that GOD doesn’t want us praying for things that He definitely doesn’t want to do. Though He probably won’t speak to you as decisively as He did to Jeremiah, He may at times put a check in your spirit when you start praying for someone or something. When that happens, it may be time to change your prayers. 

_________

Heavenly Father,

Speak to my heart as I listen for Your voice 

through Your Word, in my circumstances, through others, 

or in whatever way You choose! 

May Your Words shape my prayers
and guide my life into the midst of Your divine activity!

Help me to be attentive to Your voice,
never doubting Your ability 

to share Your heart with my own.

Amen 

You Have Sown in Tears, Now You Shall Reap in Joy (1.19.15)

My Child,

Let this be the day when you see the Heavens open 

and tilt the treasures of GOD over you. 

You are about to be changed by My grace and power.

I tell you, I am about to bless you and bring you into a whole new world of living. You’ve sown in tears, now you shall reap in joy. Therefore, be ye ready to step out in faith, for My call upon your life dictates that you 'go, be and do'. 

Boldness will open the doors, 

and confidence will push you through those doors. 

My mercy and grace are with you.

So be ready to run.  

You have been a forerunner for Me.  Telling of My goodness and mercy.  Now, I am being the Forerunner for you, letting people see the anointing on your life. They shall see what the Lord has done. Yes, you are the victor because I went before you and defeated the enemy of your soul. I want you to gather up the spoils of the war that I have won for you. 

Step into the water of impossibilities, 

and I will lead you to the mountaintops to declare My gospel to the nations. 

Now, get into gear and be ready to run to the promised land prepared for you.
_________

Deuteronomy 28:12 - The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations, but will borrow from none.

Psalms 126:2-5 - Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them. The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad. Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south. They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

Malachi 3:12 - And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts. 

Every Obstacle presents an Opportunity. God wants You to "Count it All Joy." (1.18.15)

Faith Believers,
There’s a story about, how in ancient times, a king had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he would hide and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Most people came by and simply walked around it. Others loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear, but no one did anything about getting the big stone out of the way.  Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. On approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road

After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. As he picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse laying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the king indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. 

This man learned what many others never understand. 

Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve one's condition.

Are you ready for this?  

What is it that you are going through today? 

What is it that is trying your patience or getting on your last nerve? 

What obstacle is blocking your way? 

There is a reason for everything that you are going through. 

Stop right now, where you are, even get up from your desk if you have to - and give GOD the praise, give Him the glory and shout HALLELUJAH for allowing you to be the vessel He has chosen this day to be glorified through!!!

1 Peter 4: 12-13 - Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

Oh, Praise His Holy name for another opportunity for the Lord to be glorified in what you are going through. For GOD wants you to count it all joy this day. Know this - that the trying of your faith (that obstacle) worketh patience. So, all the while "that obstacle" or "those people" are working your last nerve, trust that you are being perfected. Therefore, let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. (See James 1:2-4). That’s right, the more that obstacle blocks your way, the more you are being blessed. Don't try to avoid it, don't ignore it. 

That obstacle is your stepping stone to victory. 

Count it all joy, and praise your way right through it.

Right on to your blessing.

GOD says:
Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is GOD's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. - 1 Thessolonians 5:16-18. 

For this trial of your faith is much more precious than of gold that perisheth. Tried with fire, you want to be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: - 1 Peter 1:7

So, is that obstacle still there? 

You know what to do with it.

That’s right, count it all joy!!!!

Do Not take Your Eyes off the Vision Before You. Bear Witness to What God is Doing in Your Life (1.17.15)

My Child,

I gave you a vision.  

Do not take your eyes from it.

But continue to press towards the mark set before you. 

Keep the vision before you, 

so you can bear witness to what I am doing. 

I know about your daily trials and cares. 

Do not allow those trials and cares
to divert your eyes from the vision. 

My Son, Jesus Christ, spent much time with Me

during His time on earth. 

That is how He kept His eyes on My vision. 

To do what He did, you must do the same. 

Spend much time with Me.

I have placed you where you are, 

and I will enable you to move forward 

as you continue to look to Me. 

After all that you’ve gone through, you should know 

by now that I am more than able to keep you. 

Reach out to Me and I will lift you up, this day.

I will lift you far above the pressures trying to pull you down. 

I am there for you. 

Do not doubt what I have imparted in you, 

for you are My Child. 

I am breaking the way open before you, this day. 

You will leap and shout when you see all that I am doing. 

Keep the vision before you.
And know that I AM!

Focus Your Attention on God's Grace and not Your Problems (1.15.15)

My Child, 

Focus your attention on My grace and not your problems.  

This is My time and I want to be glorified in your life. 

Oh, how quickly you forget about My Grace when a trial comes upon you. 

How quickly you forget that My grace is more than sufficient. If you focused on My grace and not your problems, you would know that I will lead you safely through this storm. My grace enabled you to overcome your problems before, and with My grace, you shall overcome them again.

Whether you realize it or not, when you are constantly thinking and worrying about your problems -  you allow them to become your god, and at that point, you have placed your problems ahead of Me.  I am a jealous GOD, have no other god before Me.  

This is My time in your life, 

think about My grace and mercy; 

for they will bring blessings into your life. 

Use your time wisely, 

use it to lift up My name and praise Me, 

use your time to turn your prayers - into praises of thanksgiving - 

for what I have done, and for what I am doing in your life.

My Grace has carried you this far.

And it will be more than sufficient to see you through to the end.

Giving God Your "Prime Time," Make Him a Priority in Your Life (1.14.15)

My Child,
I want you to hunger and thirst for more of Me, and if you do, 

I promise you will surely find Me, and I shall quench your thirst. 

However, you cannot do that in your few minutes 

that you give Me of each day. 

I do not want your leftover time. 

I do not want to be an afterthought. 

I want to be the priority in your life. 

I want the best you have to offer.

You spend your time on the things 

that you value and love the most. 

So, show Me how much you love Me. 

Show Me that I am the One whom you value 

more than anything else in your life, 

by giving Me your prime time.  

Seek Me first; make Me the priority in your life. 

Call My name with the first breath of the morning. 

Seek to see My face when you open your eyes. 

I want glorifying My name to be the first thought of your day, 

and you can do that by giving Me your prime time.

Oh, that you would spend more time with Me. 

I’m calling out to you, can you hear Me? 

Then come to Me and spend time in My presence. 

Come, spend time with Me and let Me 

give you strength for the day’s journey. 

Spend time with Me, allow Me to order your day,
and My favor shall go before thee. 

So, give Me the best you have to offer. 

Give Me your prime time, 

for only I know what time it is.

Focus. Focus, Settle Your Mind, Adjust Your Thinking & Stand on God's Word (1.13.15)

My Child, Your mind is going in too many directions. Please get your mind settled and focus on what you must do. When you do this, other things will begin to fall in place. Your future depends on what you should be doing now, so don’t allow your mind to wander any longer. Don’t allow your mind to be filled with so much confusion, that you become distracted and waste precious time.

Focus. Focus and adjust your thinking.
I will do what I’ve promised.
Get your mind back into the truth of My Word.

Get refocused on what I have spoken,
and believe that I am faithful.

Whenever the winds of adversity begin to blow,
stand on My Word.
Don’t let negative thinking rule in your heart.
I am the Lord Your God, and I will make a way for you.
Slow down, get your mind settled
and I will guide you along the best pathway for your life.

I wonʹt let you fail.
I wonʹt let you fail.

The Importance of God's Leadership & Prayer (1.12.15)

Faith Believers,

Moses understood the importance of prayer. 

He met with GOD in a tent outside the camp, where the multitudes dwelt. Before he returned to his daily responsibilities and tasks, he cried unto the Lord, “If Your presence does not go with us, do not lead us up from here - Exodus 33:15. Moses knew there would be difficulties, problems and trials along the way. 

Moses knew that he needed the leadership of GOD.

Jesus was not teaching the disciples that there would be no struggles for the man of prayer, in fact, He was teaching the opposite. He taught the disciples that they needed the leadership of GOD in the midst of their trials. Otherwise, they would fall into the snare of the devil. satan is cunning and he continuously sets traps for God's Children.  he does everything within his power to tempt and defeat us. 

A person of prayer, however, can rest assured of GOD’s protection.

Bless and be Blessed,

Faithful Father,
How often do I try to deal with the problems and difficulties in my life,
on my own, instead of inviting You into the midst of my circumstances.

Redeem my struggles, as I seek to allow You to lead me
through all of my trials and uncertainties,
as well as through any pitfalls or traps
set up against me by satan.

Through You I have the victory,
as I seek Your face and yield to Your leadership,
in every aspect of my life.

Thank You Father God,

that I am able to rest in full assurance 

that You are watching over me as I place
my reputation, abilities and even my safety
in Your capable hands.

In Your Son Jesus' Name we pray,

Amen

Your Destiny is About to Be Realized. Let Your Spirit Leap for Joy!! (1.11.15)

My Child,

I hear you asking Me to come and visit with you. 

I say to you, be watchful My child, 

for I am coming to visit you. 

My hope is that you will recognize Me from all others who pretend to come in My Name, because I will not visit you in the way you may expect. I will come to you through those I send, for I will be in them, and they will represent Me fully. 

It is important that you properly discern and entertain the angels that I send.

The angel whom I shall send will lead you from where you are, to the place that I am sending you to. Have faith, My child, have faith. You’ve been expecting and waiting; therefore, be ye ready.

Awaken your spirit to hear as the learned, for this angel has been sent by Me, and through this angel, you will be amazed at what is going to happen all around you. 

Your destiny is about to be realized. 

Oh, how your spirit will leap with joy. 

Lift your head up, look up, for your blessing is at hand. 

Live expectantly and be watchful, 

for I’m coming to visit you, 

and I will bless you with something you have believed Me for.

MEDITATE ON GOD'S WORD

Psalm 62:5 - My soul, wait thou only upon GOD; for my expectation is from him.

Luke 19:41-44 - When He approached Jerusalem, He saw the city and wept over it, saying, "If you had known in this day, even you, the things which make for peace! But now they have been hidden from your eyes. For the days will come upon you when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, and surround you and hem you in on every side, and they will level you to the ground and your children within you, and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation.

Hebrews 13:2 - Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained Angels unawares. 

It will All Work Out for Your Good. Fear Not & Just Trust God. (1.10.15)

My Child,

I see what’s before you; and I’m asking you to look beyond the discouragement that you face, and have faith. Do not fear what you see, and do not give into intimidation from the enemy. 

Continue to stand on My Word, 

believing that I will come through. 

If you can see it through the eyes of faith, you will know that it is only a temporary condition, and you can move past it. Then you would see, that I am in control of all that you see around you, and all of it will work for your good. 

Fear not and just trust Me.

When you allow fear to take control, you’re telling Me that you don’t have faith in the provisions that I have made for you. If only you could see and understand what lies before you from My perspective, you would not fear or worry. You would know that I am faithful and I will deliver you. 

Besides, does fear and worrying produce any good benefits for you? 

No, they do not. 

Therefore, don’t allow the enemy to intimidate you or cause you to fear anymore.

My child, why is it easier for you to believe that you won’t succeed, than it is for you to rest in knowing that your victory is assured? Aren’t you tired of the enemy telling you what you "cannot do?" Well then, open your mouth and let him know what you "can do" through Christ Jesus. Let him know that you are more than a conqueror, and that his weapons of fear and intimidation won’t prosper against you. 

Fear not, resist what he’s trying to do, 

and refuse to allow anything to stop you.

It is time to take control back from the enemy. 

You need this victory!

Take Some Time to Rest Your Mind, Get Your Spirit Settled & Remain Calm (1.9.15)

My Child,

You’ve become tired because of the stumbling blocks you keep running into. 

You've sought many approaches to be successful, but the frustration of not being able to overcome the stumbling blocks, is causing your heart to hurt. You’re a little weary of seeking which way to go and finding the place where you belong. Now you are wondering, 'what’s the use of trying? Is what I’m going through worth all of this?'

My child, your work is not in vain.  

And what you’re going through has a purpose. 

Why don’t you take some time to rest your mind? 

Get your spirit settled and remain calm. 

Be steadfast, and don’t be moved by what you see, because I have a place that is perfectly suited for you. Step back from what you’ve been doing and seek Me for new strategies.

As you seek Me, spend some time counting your many blessings, and you will see what I have already done in your life. Counting your blessings will remind you that My Word is true, and will help you to overcome those stumbling blocks in your way. Counting your blessings will also bring peace to your spirit and a calmness of mind. 

And when your mind is at peace, 

you will realize that what you’re going through is worth it, 

because you’re going through it for Me.

God is About to Open a Path in Your Life You've Never Walked Before. But Worry Not. (1.8.15)

My Child,
Expect me to bless you as you come into My Presence. 
Open your hearts and minds; and I will give you 
revelations and teach you the things I want you to know. 
I will enlighten your understanding as you yield to My Spirit. 
I am about to open a path in your life 
that you have not walked before, but do not worry, 
for I will enlighten you with understanding.

This new path will require you to re-adjust your schedule. 

You will start getting things done that you have been putting off, because you were waiting for a better time to complete these things. Ask Me what needs to be done first, then be obedient to My directions and follow through to completion. I know it may not be what you want to tackle first, but it is better that you get it done now, so it will not hinder your progress later. This next thing that I am opening up in your life require certain things to be in order.

A new day is dawning, so prepare yourself for the things I have planned. 

As I bring you into the next level of your walk with Me, revelations will begin to flow in your life unlike anything you have ever experienced. 

The eyes of your understanding will be enlightened and stored treasure will be revealed. 

Oh My Child, you must be ready, because you have not witnessed My moving in the way in which I am preparing to move in your life, so prepare yourself.

Do Not Allow Anything to Trouble You. Rest in Knowing, God has it All Under Control. (1.7.15)

My Child,
Do you not know by now that nothing can hide from Me, 

and that there are no situations that I cannot turn around? 

There is absolutely nothing that can hide from My gaze. 

So, why are you concerned about what others are doing behind closed doors to get ahead?  Do not worry about them, do not worry about what they are saying or doing. I see in the dark as clearly as if it were broad daylight. I know what they are doing, and that is all that matters. 

Please keep your eyes on Me. 

Do not allow the enemy to distract you 

or cause you to lose your focus. 

You know that’s what he is trying to do. 

Do not allow anything to trouble you.

Please, stay focused and leave those troubles to Me. Trust and believe that I am with you, and I am working on your behalf. Nothing they can do will harm you and nothing formed against you shall prosper. I want you to rest in faith. Trust in Me,  Allow Me to remove those troubles from your heart. 

Be at peace with everyone and allow your love for Me to show through your actions.

Now, do not be moved by what others are doing. 

Come away and be with Me, 

and rest in knowing that I have it all under control.

No Matter What You See, Feel or Believe - All is Well (1.6.15)

My Child,
Your silent cries have reached my ears.
I feel your pain. And I understand what you are going through.

I know you don’t feel it or even believe it,
but you will come through this season victorious.

Yes, it seems difficult, because it’s testing your faith; however, through this test I am teaching you how to overcome all circumstances. Come, let us sit down together, and I will dry the tears that I don't want anyone to see.

You must believe that I understand, and that all is well.
All is well.

Refuse to allow the enemy to take you back into old places of defeat,
for he will certainly do his best to re-establish himself again.
Have faith in Me.  Trust in Me.

I understand the enemy you’re facing, because I faced him first, I faced him for you. You see, I understand what you are going through. I understand what you are experiencing, because I experienced it too. Therefore, if you want to overcome, follow My example and persevere until you prevail. I defeated him.  And I have given you the authority to defeat him too.

It’s a new day. Isn’t it time you believe that I understand what you are going through? Isn’t it time you recognize that I’ve never left you?  That I've never turned away from you?

Isn’t it time you trusted Me to provide for your every need? Yes, it is time. Now, dry your eyes, release your pain, allow your love for Me to dissolve into blind faith and trust in My Word. I understand what you’re going through; I really do. Trust Me.

leave me nor forsake me.

Help me to always believe that,

In Your Son Jesus' Name,
Amen

Step Out in Great Faith Quickly, Be Not Intimidated any Longer, Obey God's Voice & Do His Will (1.4.15)

Beloved, 

Take the time and be silent before me to gain a fresh perspective of where you have been and where you are now, before I lead you out to your next point of destiny. It is important that you listen to My voice and believe what I am saying. Do not look back on your past and think of it as a place of defeat but look at it as a place of growth and victory. 

You were tried in the fire, you have come through a lot and you are much stronger; because of the trials and tribulations you have been through. This strength will serve you well in upcoming challenges; and the wisdom you have gained will strengthen your confidence to overcome. Now is the time to step forward, in great faith, to do what I am calling you to do. 

Listen to My voice and 

do not allow your mind to doubt me, 

but continue to listen to My voice, 

as I lead you.

Listen to My voice.  Keep your eyes fixed, your heart focused and trust Me - as you step out. Do not look to the right nor to the left; and do not be moved by what the enemy wants to distract you with.  Just follow the Voice of the One who has all power, and you will see that suddenly doors will open up before you. 

These doors will be doors 

that I have prepared for you. 

It is important that you 

quickly step out in faith and obey My voice.

Do not be intimidated any longer. 

I have given you the wisdom you need
to overcome the enemy and his tricks. 

Just keep listening to My voice, 

know that My grace is saturating your life 

and you will not fail. 

I am leading and guiding you into greater things, 

things that you’ve prayed and asked Me for, 

so be obedient when You hear My voice.

Say “Yes Lord” and step out in faith.

As You Climb the Mountain that is Ahead, Praise God (1.2.15)

My Child,

There’s a new mountain coming before you, and although it might come with new challenges, it also comes with new potential and the possibility for greatness.  So as you experience pressure or change in your life, instead of becoming discouraged, I want you to praise Me!

Praise Me for the things that lie ahead because they are taking you to higher ground. I know that climbing a mountain can be difficult, but the reward at the end will be worth all of the effort.  So don’t worry about the climb, keep your eyes on the end result and look forward to the good things that will happen because of overcoming this mountain.

So often it is easy to look at the mountains and only see the obstacle, 

but I am telling you to look past that, this day.  

Instead of seeing an impossible or difficult situation, 

see the potential in the situation that will cause you to rise up, in My name.

For I desire you to be a success in all you do.  

I desire for you to succeed at work and in your relationships.  

I desire for you to become efficient and to become a person of value.  

The only way you will become all of these things is through positive change.
And so as you have reached out to Me and asked Me for change,
I have responded by allowing a new mountain
to come into your life to bring about this change.

So rejoice, for I am answering your prayers in a miraculous way.

Praise Me and climb the mountain ahead,
for I will be your strength when you are weak. 

Praise Me and climb this mountain,
for I will always be there to lift you up,
and very soon you will see that
all you went through was worth the climb.

Give Your Life to God this New Year & Experience His Peace and Love (1.1.15)

Faith Believers,

The Lord has allowed you to see another year!! 

What an awesome GOD we serve.

He did not have to bless us the way He did at 12:00 on 1 January 2015, by allowing us to see another year but He did!! That's why we should always praise His Holy name, not only on New Years, but everyday of the year. 

He is the reason why we wake up every morning. 

He is the reason why we have a roof over our heads and food to eat. 

Jesus Christ loves us and wants nothing but the best for His children. 

He asks that we are obedient to His Word at all times; and when we are not obedient, that we will ask for His forgiveness.  Make this year the year to develop a strong relationship with GOD, by praising and serving the Lord everyday. Get down on your knees and thank Him each morning for His goodness, mercy and the blessings He has bestowed upon you and your loved ones. 

Our Father has many more blessings He wants to bestow upon you. This year, give Him the chance to show you how much He loves you!!!! If you have not already done so, give your life to Him this New Year and experience the peace and love that only Jehovah can give. 

Happy New Year and may GOD bless you richly and keep you and yours in 2015.
