Beloved,
Rejoice in victories!
These small victories, breakthroughs, and
beginnings are a sign of greater things to come; and greater blessings
destined for you. Your praise will be like a seed sown in good ground that will grow into heavenly blessings.
As
you constantly praise Me, your faith will grow - and you will come
to appreciate all that I Am doing in your life. Learn to praise Me in
advance for every thing you have asked and believe Me for. When you
begin to do this, you will never again want to wait for the outcome to
lift up My Name; for the joy of the Lord will flood your soul.
My
child, know that gratitude is a mighty weapon against discouragement
and defeat.
My Word says, let all those rejoice who put their trust in
Me. Let them shout for joy because I Am with them, let them that love
My Name be joyful in Me. I know that you love Me, but do you trust Me?
If you do, then rejoice for what I've already done in your life.
It is My desire for you to trust Me, and give thanks in My Name, for the
small things I Am doing in your life. As you praise Me, you draw
Me closer to you. And when your heart is filled with thanksgiving, the
power of My Presence will disintegrate all hindering spirits which are
trying to block the blessings I have in store for you.
Therefore, lift
up your voice in praise,
and be very grateful for small victories;
for
they are the beginning of greater things to come.

Walk in the Authority of God's Word (9.29.16)
Arise
My people,
and stand on My promises.
Stand now in your spiritual authority.
There is nothing in this world that will stand against you
when you speak My Word.
You are in this world, but not of this world.
I have called you out of the world to be used by Me,
to shine over darkness and be light bearers.
Let the light of My Word shine through you.
Use My authority and operate in My anointing and power.
Let My Words flow out of your mouths.
It’s time that you walk in faith like David,
and defeat the giants in your life.
David knew of this power and when he stood to face Goliath.
David faced his giant in faith and in My Power.
Today, look at the Goliaths in your life and face them now; not with what you know, but with the power that I have given to you. I have given you authority and power over every situation that is not of Me.
Therefore, speak to the mountains in My Name and they shall be removed.
My Word, My Authority, and My Faith are all that you will need
to change your circumstances and situations.

Nothing Can Stop the Blessings that God has in Store for You. Except You.... (9.28.16)
My Child,
I love you,
so don't let the disappointments
of this world get you down.
I AM going to bless you.
I will perform miracles in your life,
in the days ahead, that will amaze you.
I do these things not because of your efforts or righteousness, but simply because I love you. Furthermore, I want you to know that I Am not limited in any way by your age, your problems, or any other circumstance of your life.
Nothing can stop the blessings I have in store for you, except you.
You must believe, and stop doubting, that I Am able to do that which I have promised. Do not bind My Hands with your words of defeat and failure; those words are not in My promises to you.
You block your blessings when you allow doubt to take control.
You can either speak blessings or curses over your life;.
It's up to you.
Dear One, I delight in blessing you. I desire to honor you and show Myself faithful to all who wait for My help. Your very trials and tribulations will be turned into great testimonies after I act on your behalf. That which was once an embarrassing burden to bear, will now become a great testimony of My goodness and faithfulness to all those who love and serve Me with a whole heart.
Trust Me.
Now, rest in Me and you will have joy
regardless of your circumstances.
Like I've said before, know that the miracles I do in your life are just because I love you.

Reaching God through Jesus (9.27.16)
There is a way that appears to be right to a man, but in the end it leads to death. - Proverbs 14:12
Faith Believers,
Proverbs warns us that sometimes what seems right to us, leads to disaster. This is especially true regarding our attempts to reach GOD.
GOD didn’t create us as robots to love and obey Him. He gave us a will and freedom of choice. None of us are perfect. From time to time, we all have chosen to disobey GOD and go our own willful way. The result is separation from GOD. I recently heard a pastor say that the way to heaven is through good works, religion, philosophy, and morality. But all those ideas are wrong. No bridge reaches GOD except one — Jesus.
Jesus died on the cross and rose from the grave, paying the penalty for our sins and bridging the gap between GOD and people. He is the only way we can be saved; we must make a choice by trusting Jesus as Lord and Savior. To do this, we must confess that we are a sinner and be willing to repent and turn from our sins.
Then, we must believe that Jesus died on the cross, rose from the grave, and invite Him into our lives as Lord and Savior. This is the only way to truly reach GOD.
- Marilyn
Lord GOD,
I am a sinner and I repent of my sins.
I believe that Jesus died in my place
and rose from the grave.
I invite Him to come in and
control my life through the Holy Spirit.
I receive Him as Lord and Savior.
Amen.

God is Your Friend (9.26.16)
My Child,
I Am your Savior.
I Am also your healer, deliverer, and provider.
However, today I want you to think of Me as your friend.
For friendship is so much more special than simply receiving the things that one would give to you. Do not allow yourself to forget that I Am your friend; and I will always be right by your side. I know you. I know your name. I know the circumstances in your life, and I know them well.
When things don’t go the way you expect them to, don’t think that I Am being hard on you. I Am simply perfecting those things concerning you. Beloved, please don't think I Am not watching over you, and that I’ve walked away from you. For I have spoken in My Word that I would never leave you nor forsake you. I know there are times when you face trials that cause you to think otherwise; however, never forget that I Am always with you, regardless of what happens.
So believe what I Am telling you. I wish to dwell with you in friendship; and I want you to prosper and be in good health. Walk with Me in fellowship for I assure you that if you do; joy will fill your heart. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
You are My Friend.

Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
Hebrews 13:5 - Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

When God Speaks, There is Nothing that Can Stop His Word from Manifesting (9.25.16)
Jeremiah 32:17 - Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:
Faith Believers,
The Lord wants to remind you today there is nothing too difficult for Him.
He is on His throne, and His Spirit is within us.
He can break through your cloudy days and
bring forth the sun to shine upon your circumstances.
Everything will pass away except His Word.
When GOD speaks, there is nothing
that can stop His Word from manifesting.
Sometimes, when the Lord tells us He is going to do something, it doesn’t always manifest right away. However, we must believe, and know in our spirit, that it is done. Then we must be prepared with the Word, when the enemy tries to steal what the Lord has promised us. We must stand on what we know is true, and watch the Lord bring it to pass - regardless of how the situation may look.
We must fight the good fight of faith whenever the enemy attacks,
and speak forth the times the Lord has delivered us.
Stand and speak aloud the testimonies of the Lord.
Speak of the times when it seemed there was no way out, but GOD opened a door. Stand firm and speak aloud from Isaiah 54:17 - 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.
Remember, GOD does things through faith, not by sight.
He will bring forth His promises in their appointed time.
And when He brings them forth, you will see it wasn’t by might, nor by power, but by His Spirit in which He worked the miracle in your life.
He is the GOD of possibilities.
All He requires of us is to believe every Word that He has spoken.
He has proven to all of us His faithfulness.
He will accomplish all He has promised.
Be faithful to the Word Our Father has spoken and do not let the enemy talk you out of your promise. GOD is for us, and not against us. He will never forsake us, or leave us.
Fear not, stand firm and declare
the great testimonies of what GOD has done.
GOD delivered you in the past and He will do it again.
He never changes.
He is the same, yesterday, today and forever.
GOD is faithful.
Nothing is too hard for the Lord.

Learning the Art of Patience, How to be Still and How to Be Filled with the Holy Spirit (9.23.16)
Therefore, as GOD’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. - Colossians 3:12-13
Faith Believers,
I have a timeline in which I believe things are supposed to begin and end; and it’s often completely contrary to our Lord’s timeline. Throughout my Christian journey of 35 years, I have had to learn the art of patience, with people and with GOD’s Will.
Sometimes many of us find it easier to judge, rather than to show mercy to others who don't meet our standards. I have stepped ahead of GOD in trying to pick my relationships, jobs, and other things; instead of trusting Him to direct my steps. I am just beginning to understand just how patient and merciful He has been to me all these years, as He has forgiven my bad choices and stubborn ways.
Today, I am learning the art of how to be still,
and how to be filled with the Spirit.
As I do this, the fruit of patience is being pruned in me.
I can wait on GOD for His timing;
I can show understanding to people who reject GOD;
I am able to show mercy to those who are stubborn.
As the Scripture above says, I must bear with people and forgive any grievances I may have, just as the Lord does with me. Knowing that, I am more willing to wait patiently, and to bear the fruit that the Holy Spirit produces within me.
- Marilyn
~ Prayer ~
Lord,
Please grant me the fruit of patience
as I sit still and wait on You and others.
Let me always be reminded of
Your mercy, patience, and forgiveness.
I ask You to prune me in areas where
I still need it, so that I may grow
and bloom in your likeness.
Amen.

Come into Agreement with God's Promises, Be Patient & Focus on His Word (9.22.16)
My Child,
Although you’ve been attacked by many storms,
I encourage you to strengthen yourself in Me,
strengthen yourself in the Lord.
My Word has gone forth from My Mouth, and just as the rain comes down from heaven and does not return without watering the earth, so shall My Word accomplish what I have spoken. It will not return empty. It will accomplish what I desire, and achieve its purpose.
Do not focus on the things which can be seen
with the natural eye but stay focused on My Word.
Believe in the promises I have spoken over you.
My timing is perfect, and always remember beloved, your timing is not My timing. You will begin to see the seeds that I have planted within you, flourish into blessings.
Your voice is heard in the heavenlies, so come into agreement with My Promises and speak ʺAmenʺ to them. Be patient in this present time of suffering, and persevere as Job did.
I Am full of compassion and mercy;
and very soon you will see
what I Am doing in your life.
This is my promise to you.

Praying for our Enemies (9.21.16)
Faith Believers,
Our Lord is the GOD who gives life to the dead and calls things that are not as though they were - Romans 4:17b. Sometimes it is hard to imagine that our enemies could ever turn away from evil and come to Christ, but He has called us to pray for them. What seems impossible to us is possible with GOD - Mark 10:27. What greater love could there be than to pray for GOD to draw them into His kingdom?
Here are some passages from Colossians that you can pray on their behalf:
~ Prayer ~
Loving GOD,
Teach me to pray for my enemies,
and show me how to love them as You do!
Free them from darkness and draw them into Your Light!
Make Yourself known to them so that they will become
Your precious children, clothed in holiness.
Fill them with Your Peace!
Continue to use me as a conduit for Your Love in their lives!
Amen
Our Lord is the GOD who gives life to the dead and calls things that are not as though they were - Romans 4:17b. Sometimes it is hard to imagine that our enemies could ever turn away from evil and come to Christ, but He has called us to pray for them. What seems impossible to us is possible with GOD - Mark 10:27. What greater love could there be than to pray for GOD to draw them into His kingdom?
Here are some passages from Colossians that you can pray on their behalf:
- Pray that GOD will rescue them from the dominion of darkness and bring them “into the kingdom of the Son He [the Father] loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins” (Colossians 1:13-14).
- Pray GOD will make known to them His glorious riches through the mystery of Christ (Colossians 1:27).
- Pray that they may “know the mystery of GOD, namely Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge” (Colossians 2:2-3).
- Pray that they will “put to death whatever belongs to [their] earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry” (Colossians 3:5).
- Pray that they will rid themselves of “anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from [their] lips” (Colossians 3:8).
- Pray that they will become one of GOD’s children, holy and dearly loved, clothed with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience (Colossians 3:12).
- Pray they will come to know and possess the love of the Lord (Colossians 3:14).
- Pray that they will come to know the peace of Christ and that it will rule in their hearts (Colossians 3:15).

Loving GOD,

Your precious children, clothed in holiness.
Fill them with Your Peace!

Remember, You are in This World, but not of This World (9.20.16)
Wounds from a sincere friend are better than many kisses from an enemy.
- Proverbs 27:6
Faith Believers,
We all seek happiness in life, and we often look for the answer in worldly things; like making lots of money, getting a great job, or even finding the perfect significant other. Can you relate? Though the world makes us believe these things will satisfy us, true comfort and happiness do not come from worldly things. Rather, happiness comes from GOD, and the Bible shows us this over and over again.
Let’s be reminded of Esau, the firstborn and favorite son of Abraham’s son, Isaac. In Genesis 25 and 27, it tells how he lost his birthright and blessing. Esau ignored what was important to his father. His life shows what can happen to “those who look to this world for their reward.” (Psalm 17:14) Expect trouble from the world (John 16:33), even persecution (John 15:20).
Friendship with the world is an offense to GOD (James 4:4). Instead, love the world the way Jesus did (John 3:16). Reject all its temptations (1 John 2:15-16), deny yourself, and embrace the cross (Luke 9:23). The only way to really win in life is to resist the satisfaction the world offers (Mark 8:35). Christians gain victory over the world by our faith (1 John 5:4)! How amazing is that?
Many of the Bible’s stories warn us about looking for comfort from this world, rather than from GOD, to help us learn more about how we should avoid making the same mistakes.
The life of Samson was a story of entitlement and pride. Samson felt his chosen status (Judges 13:7) and great strength gave him the right to immorality. He once set eyes on an attractive pagan woman and told his parents, “I want to marry her. Get her for me” (Judges 14:2). Can you relate to these lustful and entitled feelings? Many of us can. The world makes us believe these feelings are okay, but what does the Bible tell us? Samson was deceived by Delilah, blinded and enslaved in the temple of an idol. This is a warning and a reminder to us not to live our lives in the same way.
When you are told you do not fit into an environment, or group of people; or you are different and people shun you, PRAISE GOD!!!!!! GOD has made it clear to us that we cannot be His child and be friends with this world. Remember beloveds, you are in this world but not of this world.

It's Time to Move... Be Ready to Receive Something New (9.18.16)
My Child,
You are in a phase of recovering that which has been stolen by the enemy. If you stay alert and are willing to follow My Leading, I will restore all that is necessary for your well-being. I will restore all.
However, there are still things that are better left alone. Yes, some of the things which were removed were not of the enemy. Yes, there were things in your life, that were not blessing you; therefore, I removed them to prevent them from causing you further harm. Ask of Me, and I Will give you wisdom and the proper discernment to know the difference.
Stay prayed up and watch for temptations that try to pull you back into an old spiritual condition, particularly that of fear. If you dwell in My Presence, you will recognize it when it comes; because you will feel restricted by it. Never forget that I did not give you a spirit of fear, so walk in the power of My Might, and do not be overcome by the temptation of the evil one.
Refuse to allow anything to cause you to retreat emotionally, mentally, or spiritually.
You’ve come through many valley experiences to get to this breakthrough. I paid the price for your freedom, therefore forget the things that kept you in bondage, and keep your mind focused on how I Am about to bless you.
It's time to move, so remove yourself from the past, and be ready to receive something new.
Come to Me in faith with your request,
and I will open what no man can shut,
and I will shut what no man can open.
Now leave the past behind My Child.
Read and Meditate on God's Word
Joel 2:25 - And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.

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.
James 1:5 - If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of GOD, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
Galatians 5:1 - Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
2 Timothy 1:7 - For GOD hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
Revelations 3:8 - I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name.

Jesus' Secret Power.... The Power of Prayer. (9.16.16)
Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus who died more than that, who was raised to life is at the right hand of GOD and is also interceding for us. - Romans 8:34
Faith Believers,
No man ever prayed as Jesus prayed. Prayer was the secret of his power, the law of his life, the inspiration of his toil and His strength. Jesus was the only person on earth whose prayer life never waned, even for a moment.
Not many of us can make that claim. Jesus lived up to the high prayer standards that Paul set when he said, Pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests - Ephesians 6:18 and Pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances - 1 Thessalonians 5:17–18. - Marilyn
~ Prayer ~
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of GOD,
Please teach me to pray!
Show me how to pray without ceasing,
in the Spirit, and on all occasions!
Help me to continually give thanks,
in every circumstance of my life,
whether good or bad.
Touch my heart so that I can learn to pray
for the lost, the lonely, the sick and the oppressed.
Send the Holy Spirit to teach me how to pray the way you did.
Amen

Stand and Begin Walking Forth Once More (9.15.16)
My Child,
Do not worry about those who have come against you,
and who have seemingly shut you out.
Open your spiritual eyes and you will see that
there are more standing with you than there are against you.
I have both seen and heard what has been done to you.
I Am not hindered by their actions, and neither are you.
Do not be envious of what they are doing,
for soon they will be cut down.
You have been chosen to stand in My Name,
and do the work I have called you to do.
So, stand in My Name.
The enemy would like you to think that the door is shut against you, but it is only an illusion. The enemy cannot shut any of the doors that I have opened, nor can he open a door that I have closed. I AM GOD! I have all power! You are to commit all that you are doing unto Me; and in doing so, you will prosper.
Let Me be concerned about what the enemy is doing,
I just need you to focus on Me.
Stand and begin walking forth once more.
Do not allow the enemy to hinder the work we have begun.
You have only just begun to walk in My Name.
You have only begun to see My miracles;
and I will be there in the midst, as you speak My Word.
There is so much I have yet to show you.
You are anointed and chosen before Me.
So, stand strong in the authority I have imparted in you to defeat the enemy standing in your way. Speak to the mountains, and go forth because the door is open. I AM with you, and I Am always right on time.
Now stand up, and do what I have told you to do.
Meditate on His Word: Psalms 37
~ My Prayer Confession ~
Oh Lord,
Thank you for helping me to understand that I should not be concerned about those who come against me.
I know greater is He who is in me, than he who is in this world. I know
You are standing with me as I face my battles, and with You Lord, I can stand against anything and anyone.
I am suited up in Your armour, and I stand victorious in Your mighty Name.
Amen, Amen and Amen

Operating in Complete Liberty... Moving According to God's Plan... Walking in Divine Health & Provision... (9.14.16)
My Child,
Take a break, Beloved.
Stop what you are doing and look up.
Look out to see where you are headed.
Where are you going?
Before you step into the next phase, complete and bring to a conclusion those things that you have begun - and not yet completed. Do all that I have called you to do quickly; for the door that I have opened, and the opportunities I have equipped you for, will require your undivided attention.
In order to move with Me, your house must be in order.
It’s the only way that My perfect plan for your life will come to pass.
You cannot move effectively in what I have prepared for you with issues from the past unresolved. Now is the time to deal with everything that would restrict your freedom of movement or anchor you to the past. Therefore, re-evaluate your current position in various aspects of your life; and take the time to be absolutely certain that you have taken care of things according to My Will and Purposes.
Do what must be done so that you will be able
to operate in complete liberty, and
move according to My Perfect Plan.
Do not deviate from My Plan.
Let Me lead you and I will order your steps.
Let every decision you make line up with My Will.
Do not allow your flesh to make choices for you.
Make sure your decisions are the result of My leading. Beloved, I wish above all things that you would prosper and be in good health. However, you must move according to My Will, in order to walk in divine health and provision.
Spend time with Me, as you embrace My blessings, through obedience to My Word, you will become aligned with My Perfect Plan for your life.
Read and Meditate on His Word
Exodus 19:5 - Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:
Isaiah 43:18 - Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
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.
Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
Psalm 119:133 - Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
3 John 1:2 - Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in good health, even as thy soul prospereth

Pray, Be Patient & Listen for God's Voice (9.13.16)
My Child,
I called you, so please be patient.
There are times you’ve tried to speak, without hearing Me.
You must always hear Me first, then speak.
Do not allow the enemy to pressure you into doing anything
before the appointed time.
Come before My presence to receive the clarity that you need,
and I will reveal everything to you.
Hear My Voice, and discern My Time.
You have been through much pain,
because you have missed My perfect timing.
Do not worry, all is not lost,
and because of your obedience, you will recover all.
Now is the time for you to humble yourself in My Presence and let Me be your guide. You must first realize that it is your personal responsibility to pray and seek My Voice. Do not try to explain to those who question what you are doing; simply confess that you are seeking My Face, and being obedient to My Words.
My child, spend time in prayer with Me. Yes, return to the prayer life you once knew which allowed Me to re-position you. There are things that I want to change in you, so that you can be led by My Spirit in all you do.
I will speak clearly for I Am not a GOD of confusion.
I will make My Voice known unto you.
So listen for My Voice, and be obedient to My Spirit,
for I Am ready to bring into existence what I've promised.
I Will meet with you at the appointed time,
and we will go forth together.

Just Be Thankful (9.12.16)
My Child,
Some of you feel as though the walls are closing in on you, and the enemy is trying to convince you that options are 'few to none.' And because of his nagging whispers, your mind is constantly focused on lack, instead of abundance.
Why are you allowing his words to determine your happiness?
Don’t you know the enemy is delighted that you are losing hope?
Do not glorify him by repeating words of lack, doubt, and hopelessness.
Do not allow the enemy to take anything else away from you.
Hasn’t he already taken enough?
My child, lift up your voice and confess
the things you are thankful for,
and he will leave your presence.
You are worrying about what you don't have; however I want you to start being thankful for what you do have. If you can’t praise Me now for the small things that I have done in your life; how will you ever be able to appreciate the great things to come?
I say be thankful.
Yes, be thankful for the many things
I have already blessed you with.
What I have given you is only the beginning of things to come.
However, I want you to be thankful now,
in the midst of what you are going through.
I have given you authority, and I have given you My Word to defeat the enemy - use them.
Do not allow the enemy to torment you anymore.
Start now by being thankful for what you have.
Start speaking My Words in your tight places,
and they will deliver you into a broader place.
Just be thankful and you will see changes take place all around you.
~ Prayer ~
Father,
You woke me up this morning
and I'm alive, what more can I ask You for?
Lord, I thank You.
Forgive me for all my complaining.
Lord, I am ever so grateful for
the things you have blessed me with.
This is the day that the Lord has made,
I will rejoice and be glad.In Jesus' Name,
Amen
Those who are the happiest don’t always have everything,
but they are thankful for everything they do have.

My Child,
On this day, believe that all things are possible;
for you serve a mighty GOD,
and with Me nothing is impossible.
Let nothing stop you from believing every Word I have spoken, regarding the destiny I have planned for you. No longer allow doubt and unbelief plague you; because your faith should be in Me, your Father, your GOD who hears and answers the cries of your heart.
I Am bringing you into a new environment; and it’s filled with My Joy and Blessings. No longer will you function or think of yourself as a victim - because that life is over, beloved; you are an overcomer, one who will never again be overcome by the enemy.

Worrying Isn't Good For You (9.8.16)
My Child,
I know that you still don’t understand this,
but worrying doesn’t help you.
If you believe in your heart that you have received
what you have asked for, it will be done.
Nothing shall be impossible for you if you believe.
You are very precious to Me, and I do not want you to worry.
When you worry, it doesnʹt help anything or anyone, especially you.
It isnʹt good for your emotions or your body.
So, please don’t worry...
Instead, place your trust in Me.
And be careful with whom you share your concerns with, for not everyone wants you to be happy. Only share when you know they have My Wisdom flowing in their lives.
Not everyone will help you, but I will.
I know all about your every need, all your desires, and I know all about what’s happening in your life. I Am the best person to help you. Remember My child, I Am the One who created you.
I Am always here. I can help, and I will help. It may not always be the way you think, but it will be what’s best for you. Oh, I know you think you know what’s best; however, there are some things that you aren’t aware of, that I must take care of first.
So if you trust Me as you say you do, then do not worry.
I love you.

Matthew 6:31-34 - Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of GOD, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
Mark 11:24 - Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
Philippians 4:6-7 (NLT) - Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell GOD what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

My Child,
Take back the land that I have given you.
Do not allow the attacks from the enemy
defer your plans for victory;
for I have prepared you for this battle.
I have given you the weapons needed to defeat the enemy.
I have placed in your hand the sword that no enemy can come against.
Yes, I’ve given you the sword of My spirit; which is My Word,
and nothing can stand against My Word.
Fight this battle, suited in the armour of GOD and with the weapons that I’ve provided, because you are not wrestling with flesh and blood; but against principalities and powers in high places. You must use only My Weapons; for it’s with these weapons of warfare that you will overcome and conquer the enemy.
As you engage in battle, put aside every thing that hinders you.
Do not complain and mumble, but allow only
My Words to proceed from your lips.
If you stumble, you will rise quickly, for My Right Hand will reach down and place you upon a Rock. My Godliness will lead you forward, and the glory of the Lord will protect you from behind.
Now stand, suited up ready to conquer the enemy.
I Am walking right beside you: therefore,
allow no fear or worry to trouble your heart.

The Tongue is also a Fire..... The Choice of Our Words. (9.6.16)
Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue is also a fire…. - James 3:6
Faith Believers,
James 3:6 reminds us that devastating fires can be started by a careless tongue. Words spoken thoughtlessly, selfishly, angrily, and hastily can ignite a blaze that destroys what may take years to rebuild.
Think about what has come out of your mouth this past week.
Did you carelessly throw a spark out on dry grass?
Were you surprised at the quick spread of flames?
Did relationships strain because you had an uncontrolled tongue?
It’s easy to do. We justify it by tiredness, stressful situations, or another person’s aggravating behavior. Yet the choice of our words is entirely our own.
GOD has a lot to say about the tongue and the words we speak. You’ll find a wealth of wisdom in the book of Proverbs:
- Marilyn
~ Prayer ~
Father GOD,
Your Word tells me, “He who guards his lips, guards his life - Proverbs 13:3". Please help me today, by the power of Your Holy Spirit,
to be careful with quick retorts, unsolicited opinions,
or critical, sarcastic, and negative comments.
Help me to mind my tongue, as I would mind
a match in a dry forest.
Give me Your Wisdom and Grace
when I need to address situations and issues;
and please give me a sense of right timing in doing so.
Thank You, that You provide help and strength to me,
in this area, when I call out to You.
In Your Son, Jesus’ name I pray,
Amen.

- When tough issues must be addressed, ask first for the help of GOD’s Holy Spirit as you respond (Proverbs 2:6).
- Always keep your distance from gossip. Gossip is already a small blaze. You make a choice to throw water or fuel on it as it comes to your ears and tempts your tongue (Proverbs 26:20).

Remember.... Do not Let the Trial Control You (9.5.16)
My Child,
There will be times when you may not understand why I have allowed you to experience certain things. So, when you find yourself encountering those times, simply turn to Me and do not allow the trial to control you.
Lean on Me for strength when things begin to feel unbearable, and I will keep you from falling. Even though My desire for you is joy, that does not mean you will never endure trials and hardships. I will be with you, strengthening you and helping you to overcome and be victorious.
Just come to Me in the midst of your adversity,
set down the burdens you’ve been carrying
and do not allow them to overwhelm you.
Come and I will show you the destiny I have prepared for you.
As I work on your behalf, I will flood you with My Peace.
I will give you joy that cannot be taken from you,
regardless what circumstances come your way.
So yes, there will be hard times, but you do not have to allow the hard times to control you.
You have, within you, all that you need to overcome
every hardship that comes your way.
All you have to do is come to Me, and
My glory will dispel any trial and hardship
you may be facing.
Read and Meditate on His Word
Romans 8:28 - And we know that all things work together for good to them that love GOD, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
1 Peter 1:7 - That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise, honour, and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
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.
John 14:27 - Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

John 14:27 - Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Surrender All to God (9.4.16)
My Child,
Have you forgotten that I know every condition of your life?
Have you forgotten that I know all about you and that
I Am not far from you?
Do you know that I Am for you, and not against you?
I know all about the circumstances that you are dealing with in your life. I know the trouble that you have. All of these things I know, but this one thing you must do so that I can bring deliverance into your life; you must give Me absolute control of everything that pertains to you.
Yes, release all that concerns you, to Me.
Bring your concerns to Me, in complete and absolute faith,
so that I can intervene in your situation;
then My power will be manifested in your life.
If you abide in Me, I will abide in you.
I will bless you beyond what you have asked of Me.
I will bless you when the world is not blessed.
Become One with Me and surrender all.
Walk with Me.
Talk with Me, and do those things I have encouraged you to do; so that I can do the things I said I would do, on your behalf.
This day, lift your eyes.
Call upon My Name, for this is the season in which
I will show you the way into the promise land.
My child, it is My Desire for you to live in absolute victory, in all things.
Therefore, I say to you, remember that I Know all about you; and I’ve already provided. However, it’s up to you to give Me absolute control, so that My promises can manifest in your life.
I will never leave you, nor forsake you.
I will be with you until the end.
So, surrender all to Me.

Let Go of Everything that Hinders Your Flow in the Spirit & Focus on Where God is Leading You (9.2.16)
My Child,
Exhale, and work through the temptation to be overwhelmed.
My child, you have not been given more than you can handle,
but the way you deal with it, is key to your success.
In your spiritual progression, you must do first things first, and follow My lead. When you don’t do 'that which is in your spiritual flow'; your progress will be hindered, or even stopped, until you accomplish what I have set before you.
Keep your hands to the plow, do the things I’ve given you to do, and do not stop until the tasks are complete. Your steps have been ordered, now look at what is before you and do that first. Do not try to look at the whole picture right now, for if you do, you are likely to get bogged down in the scope of your responsibility.
Therefore, take the steps as I direct you.
Let Me lead you.
Dear one, I have many things to show you; which will require your heart and mind to be focused and receptive. So let go of everything that hinders your flow in the Spirit, and focus on where I Am leading you.
You are Mine. You are not your own.
I have a purpose for your life
that you have not yet realized.
Now, take first things first, and let Me lead you to your destiny.
Read and Meditate on His Word
Psalm 31:3 - For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.
Psalm 32:8 - I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee withmine eye.
Psalm 37:23 - The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, and He delights in his way.
Isaiah 58:11 - And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
Luke 9:62 - And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of GOD.
1 Corinthians 10:13 - No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but GOD is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.

God Sees All, but He Looks at Our Hearts (9.1.16)
The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good. - Proverbs 15:3
Faith Believers,
GOD sees more than the outward actions. He looks at the heart.
We can’t hide our motives from Him, for His eyes pierce the surface and penetrate into the soul. How many times have we thought or said, “Oh, I’m sure they meant well,” when we weren’t sure that was the case? Motives and agendas are often hidden. The reasons behind people’s acts can be misinterpreted. We may not see the truth of the actions of others due to our prejudices, our own guilt, our own anger or we may be blinded by false trust, gullibility, and naivety.
Others may, in turn, misjudge us. Most people try their best to do what is right, but sometimes they just don't; and then others criticize them. Maybe we become a scapegoat for someone who doesn’t want to own up to their own mistakes, and finds it easier to point to you as the source of their problems. GOD sees that as well.
Of course, if we do something wrong, there is no hiding that from our Lord either. When Achan sinned, stole and plundered from the Canaanites; Joshua called him out on it: Then Joshua said to Achan, “My son, give glory to the Lord, the GOD of Israel, and honor him. Tell me what you have done; do not hide it from me - Joshua 7:19. By confessing, we honor GOD and acknowledge that His eyes never miss anything. That He sees all the good and the bad, the honorable and the wicked.
And when we do falter,
even if we tried our best not to,
He sees that as well,
even when others don’t.
- Marilyn
~ Prayer ~
Dearest Lord,
Let us always honor You in everything we do.
If we do something wrong,
let us not try and hide it from You.
If someone wrongs us,
let us be comforted by the fact that You see all,
and when our plans fail, may we find comfort
in the fact that You know our intentions -
even before we act.
In your son, Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.

The next time you feel like hiding your deeds,
blaming others or are falsely blamed,
give the situation to GOD and honor Him;
because His eyes see everything.
