Let Faith Rule & Reign in Every Circumstance (3.31.17)

Beloved,
Bring your burdens into the secret place of My Presence.  And, there, in that place where we commune together, I will hear and answer your prayers according to My Will for your life. 

I Will bring you to a place of spiritual strength and courage. 
Let Faith rule and reign in every circumstance. 
Have Faith in Me and know that I have heard your prayer. 

Do not allow your circumstances to speak louder
    than your Faith. 
Believe Me for complete healing and restoration
    in this particular situation.
Press your way through by being steadfast, immovable,
    and remembering Who I Am. 

I Am the GOD that heals you. 
I Am the GOD that restores everything
    the enemy has stolen from My Children. 

Therefore, loose yourself from these burdens,
bind yourself to My Word,
and know there is nothing too difficult for Me.

A "Make Me A Channel of Your Blessings, Lord Jesus" Prayer (3.30.17)

Dear Lord Jesus,

Every good and perfect gift is a blessing from You
    and You have blessed me with so much.

I ask that You use me to be a blessing to others,
    who are in need or are facing difficulties. 

Make me a channel of Your Blessing.
A channel where love, peace and joy flow freely
     from You, through me, to others.

May I be Your Hands, to bless others.
May You guide my feet to places
     where I can go and be a blessing to many.
May my speech be seasoned with salt
     so that I may speak words of comfort and encouragement;
     while speaking the truth in love.

Give me the grace to be available when others are in need. 

Lord I need for You to increase in my life, so that I may decrease.  Praying that the blessings You pour through me, to others, may draw each one closer into Your Arms Lord Jesus....

In Whose Name I pray, 

Amen

 

 

Follow God's Lead, Trust Him & Have Faith in His Word (3.29.17)

My Child,
The work that is ahead of you may seem daunting and beyond your scope.  However, if you put your trust in Me and follow My Lead; I will make the seemingly impossible not only possible, but plausible.  

 

Follow where I Lead; and I Will go before you, remove every hindrance and pave the way for you to achieve all that I have set before you. 

Follow My Lead, and I Will strengthen you and give you the vision to accomplish more than you could have imagined or believed. Have faith in My Word and follow My Lead; for I Am leading you on the path of righteousness.  There’s no other path that you should take. 

All other paths will lead you away from Me.
You are My Sheep; listen to My Voice and follow My Lead. 

Take one step at a time and do not be afraid. 

Walk in the Spirit and refuse to allow worry or fear
      undermine your faith or cloud your judgment. 

Stay focused and keep your priorities in order
      so that nothing can take you off the course
      I have destined for you. 

I Am with you on this journey. 
Your steps have been ordered.

Therefore, follow My Lead, and don't look back.

An "Embrace Your Trials" Prayer. Let the Testing of Your Faith Bring Forth Perseverance, Steadfastness, Trust, Patience & Grace. (3.28.17)

Thank You Father,
You have promised that the testing of our faith will
    produce perseverance and steadfastness,
which in time will bring forth the beautiful Christ-like character
    that You so desire in all of Your children,
but which all too often I sometimes avoid or regard as a time of bitter struggle.

Help me Lord, to embrace any trials that You see fit to place in my life.
Help me to look at the difficulties that engulf me with Your eyes, and give me
   an eternal perspective on anything that I may be called upon to face,
   so that I may count it all joy - knowing that the testing of my faith
   produces the Godly fruit of patience.

Help me Lord, to use those times of testing as an opportunity to grow
   in grace; and as a springboard to develop a deeper
   and more secure relationship with You.

Lord, Father God, it is not always easy to align my mind with the mind of Christ.
It is often very hard to see trials in a positive light, and to embrace
   the various testings we have to go through, as a thing to be highly prized;
   and yet Your Word tells us that life's difficulties should sharpen our faith,
   while developing our trust in the Lord. 
A trust which is more precious to You than much fine gold.

Give me a heart that understands and chooses to look at trials and tests
   from Your perspective,  so that the testing of my faith
   will bring forth patience and grace,

I ask this in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ,

Amen

This Too Shall Pass. Stand & Know that God is with You; & He Will Never Forsake You.... (3.27.17)

My Child,

What you’re going through shall pass.

Just like all the other trials that have come and gone before, this too shall also pass. You had faith in Me once, now have faith in Me again. I have not changed. I have not turned against you, nor have I forgotten what troubles your heart. 

 

I see everything, and I see that you’re worried 

about what the enemy is trying to do to you.
 
Do not pay any attention to what he’s trying to do. 

 

You gave Me control. All the enemy wants to do is test your faith. he wants to see whether you will have faith in Me - no matter what comes against you. 

 

I want you to stand and know that I Am with you; and I Will never forsake you. After these trials and tests, you will come out in a better place - a place where there is no contention.
 
Strengthen yourself with My Word, and 

do not let go of the faith I’ve imparted in you. 

Set your mind on Me, on things, which are true; and of a good report.

Recognize that there’s nothing that can come against you which I cannot see you through.

Be encouraged this day and know that
this “Job” experience you’re going through
shall pass.

Yes, this too shall pass.

Job 13:15 - Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him
 
Job 42:10 (NLT) - When Job prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his fortunes.  In fact, the Lord gave him twice as much as before.

Philippians 4:8 - Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

1 Peter 1:6-7 - Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: 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 and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 

You are not Alone. Talk to God. Ask Him for Help, Wisdom & Direction. (3.26.17)

My Child,
When you do not know where to go from here,
or what to do next, all you have to do is ask. 
Why are you trying to figure this out alone? 
You are not alone. 

I Am your help; so, ask Me for help. 
Ask Me for wisdom and direction;
and I will give it to you.

Therefore, talk to Me.  Talk to the One who is your sun and shield and I will provide - for no good thing will I withhold from you. 

Why are you trying to hide the things you are going through from Me?  Is there anything you can do or think that I don’t already know?  I see where you are, and I know all things about you.   I Am always with you. Surrender all to Me and I will intervene in your circumstances.  Just ask your loving Father for what you need, Beloved.

I Am not the author of confusion, and I do not want you wandering to and fro; stressing out about what to do.

You are not alone. 
You have someone to lean on. 
You have someone to turn to. 
You have Me. 

You can trust Me with what you are going through for I Am your help. I will give you the understanding that you seek. And I will not let you fall.

Believe it, because I said it and ask Me for what you need.
