Press On & Persevere, Until Your Victory is Complete (7.31.18)

My Child,
Many of My People are in the valley of decision,
     and some are positioned at the fork in the road. 

I didn’t bring you to this place, on your spiritual journey, to leave you. 

If you allow Me to, I Will guide you through every hard place you encounter.  Yes, I know at times it may seem that I Am not there; and that I don't see or feel the pain you’re going through.  But I Am always with you. Even now, as you read this word, I Am bringing you through the valley of despair.
I Am bringing you through the deserts
     and through the rocky roads of life. 
I Am moving on your situation to transition you
     from where you are, into your place of destiny
     with Me.


Just as My Son had to persevere at Gethsemane to make it to the Cross, in order to guarantee eternal life for My Children; you too must go through your Gethsemane. 

You too must press on and persevere
     until the victory is complete. 

Only then will you have the complete breakthrough
     in your life. 
Only then will you live the victorious life. 
Only then will you walk in My Holy Spirit,
     and be ready to do signs and wonders
     in My Name.


Do not fear the valley, nor the battles. 
For the valleys and battles will come and go. 

My Son's Victory on the Cross
     assured your victory.
You cannot lose, unless you choose
     not to stand and fight.

The choice is yours.
I await your response.
I have given you weapons to fight with,
     so you can win the battle.

Use My Weapons and not yours.
The Weapons I provide are not carnal,
     but mighty to pull down every stronghold.

Lean not on your own understanding.
Lean not on the world's system,
     for it will fail.
Lean on Me, your firm foundation
    and you will get through the valley.

Sing Praises in the Midnight Hour (7.30.18)

My Child,
You seem to be in your midnight hour
     and the enemy of your soul says
     all is lost.

However, I Say sing praises to Me
     in this midnight hour.

It’s easy for you to sing praises when there is light, but I Am seeking those who still have a praise on their lips in their midnight hour.

Praise in the midnight hour shall loose
     shackles off your feet.
Praise will bring you through every stronghold
     of the enemy.

My Child, the midnight hour is set as
     your hour of deliverance.
Not all of My Own will be ready.

Therefore, I Say unto you, start singing praises. 

Let a song of praise rise from your lips.
It is time for your breakthrough.
It is time to triumph over all the enemy has tried
     to do to hold you back.
Praise is one of the keys to victory.
It is not by accident that I have chosen this time
     to bring release to you, so sing.

Sing praises to My Name and lift up your eyes.
Your enemy is scattered when you praise My Name.

My child, lift your eyes unto the hills and sing.
A mighty work has been accomplished.

Your new day is dawning,
     and all has been made ready.

Lift up your voice and sing.
It’s a new day and a new hour.

You will look up to Heaven and say,
     “I cannot believe what the Lord has done,”
     and I did it because you sang to Me
     in the midnight hour.



Read and Meditate on God's Word:
Psalm 119:62 - At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments. 

Psalm 92:1-3 - It is good to give thanks to Jehovah, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; to show forth Your loving-kindness in the morning, and Your faithfulness every night; on the ten strings, and on the harp, with sounding music on the lyre.

Pray Without Ceasing (7.29.18)

My Child,
I know that you acknowledge and have received the spiritual gifts and blessings that I’ve poured into your life. However, there is one blessing that I gave you that you are allowing to lie dormant - and it is prayer.  You asked Me to pour into your life My Spirit of Prayer, so you could pray as My Son prayed. So, why aren’t you using this blessing?

My child, I Am calling you to a new level in your prayers.
I Am calling you to persevere in prayer. 
I Am calling you to stay before Me until every stronghold
     in your life is destroyed, and the enemy is sent fleeing. 

Use this blessed gift and use it now.

A stronger prayer life is needed, now more than ever before; for the enemy is seeking whom he can devour.  Therefore, do not wait until it is midnight in your life before you call on My Name.


Yes, I understand you feel more prayer is needed when you are in a corner surrounded by impossibilities. However, do not allow your feelings to lead you astray. 

It is not flesh and blood that seeks to destroy you,
     it’s spiritual wickedness.

Therefore, you must pray now, and pray in the Spirit. 


One of the keys to receiving your miracles is to live a life of constant prayer. If you want to see things change; then pray, study My Word, and continually stay before Me.

Stay true to the blessings that I have given you.
Live your life as My Son lived His, in constant prayer,
     and you will see that which you seek,
     shall come to pass.

Now, pray and pray without ceasing.
For with Me, the Lord your God, all things are possible.

What is impossible to man is possible with Me. 


Pray
 My Child, pray.

#ScriptureReflection - Jeremiah 3:14-17 (7.27.18)

Return, rebellious children, says the LORD,
for I am your Master;
I will take you, one from a city, two from a clan,
and bring you to Zion.
I will appoint over you shepherds after my own heart,
who will shepherd you wisely and prudently.
When you multiply and become fruitful in the land,
says the LORD,
They will in those days no longer say,
"The ark of the covenant of the LORD!"
They will no longer think of it, or remember it,
or miss it, or make another.

At that time they will call Jerusalem the LORD's throne;
there all nations will be gathered together
to honor the name of the LORD at Jerusalem,
and they will walk no longer in their hardhearted wickedness.

#ScriptureReflection - Matthew 13:18-23 (7.26.18)

Jesus said to his disciples:
"Hear the parable of the sower.
The seed sown on the path is the one who hears the word of the Kingdom
without understanding it,
and the Evil One comes and steals away
what was sown in his heart.

The seed sown on rocky ground
is the one who hears the word and receives it at once with joy.
But he has no root and lasts only for a time.
When some tribulation or persecution comes because of the word,
he immediately falls away.

The seed sown among thorns is the one who hears the word,
but then worldly anxiety and the lure of riches choke the word
and it bears no fruit.

But the seed sown on rich soil
is the one who hears the word and understands it,
who indeed bears fruit and yields a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold."

You May not Realize it, but God has Already Equipped You. God in You & You in God... (7.25.18)

My Child,
I Am looking for willing and yielded vessels through whom I can accomplish My Purposes. I want you to be one of those vessels. Yes, I desire to glorify My Name through you.

If you are willing and obedient, then I Will anoint and empower you to do the works that will bring glory to the Kingdom. I Am calling you to simply say to Me, "Lord, Here I am. I believe every Word You said is true. I present Myself to You, and it’s my desire for You to work Your Glory through Me."


If you're willing to say this to Me, and it is the desire of your heart; then you will experience how I Am able to glorify My Name through My Own. What I have said in My Word is true indeed, those who believe in My Son, Jesus Christ, will be empowered to do greater works. 

This is My promise to you, and I Will honor My Word. Therefore, do not allow the enemy to talk you out of receiving the promise to do greater works in My Name.


My child, even though you don't realize it,
     I have already fully equipped you.
I have given you My Spirit to reside within you.
I in you, and you in Me.

You and I are one.

And as we work together, My Will will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.  Therefore, let us labor as One towards that goal. Remind yourself that you can do all things because I can do all things.

Nothing will be impossible for you
     because nothing is impossible for Me.

Now, watch and see the greater works
     that I will do through you; because
     you believe in My Son.


 
 

READ AND MEDITATE ON GOD'S WORD:
Matthew 6:10 - Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

It Is Time (7.24.18)

My Child,
It's time to put on the mind of Christ and stop thinking about what "feels right and good," and start focusing on My Will.

It's time to let go of the past and take hold
     of the future and the plans I have for you.
It's time to stop thinking of yourself as a victim,
     and start focusing on what My Word says,
     and do it.

Oh, My child, it’s time to let My Mind be in you, and stop neglecting the faith you should have in Me.


It’s time to stop throwing pity parties. The only purpose they serve is to bring you deeper into despair and cause your focus to be on the things that have gone wrong in your life. 

It's time to start having praise sessions and
     start celebrating the blessings in your life.
It's time to rejoice over the tests that turned into
     testimonies, and the victories we won.


Oh, I know it might "feel" right to give up, because you don’t see anything happening, but is it My Will for you to give up and allow the enemy to win? No, it's not.  Because giving up means you don’t have faith in Me to do what I promised. 

When you don’t have faith in Me, it is impossible to please Me.  And if you are not pleasing Me, then you are giving glory to the enemy.  Why would you want to glorify someone who steals from you and delights in destroying your life?  


My child, it’s time to stop speaking out of your flesh, and start speaking faith-filled words. Remember, whatever you confess, whatever is consuming your mind - is what you shall receive. Therefore, if you choose to continue to dwell upon what you don’t have and confess the wrong words; you will fill your life with everything you don’t want. 

My child, stop allowing the enemy to make you feel like a victim and let this mind be in you, so that your life will be filled with the blessings of the Lord. O let this mind be in you, which was also in My Son, Christ Jesus.


READ AND MEDITATE ON GOD'S WORD:
Proverbs 23:7 - For as he thinks in his heart, so is he;

Isaiah 26:3 - You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You; because he trusts in You.

Philippians 2:5 - Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

1 Corinthians 2:16 - For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. 


Hebrews 11:6 - But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to GOD must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

John 10:10 - The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I
am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly

Philippians 4:8 - Finally, my brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are right, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue and if there is any praise, think on these things.

Simply Put - YOU. MUST. BELIEVE... #SayYesAndAmen (7.23.18)

My Child,
Each day I send a new dawn and a new mercy. 
So, no matter what yesterday held, a new dawn
     unfolds for you every morning. 

My child, you know this, yet you allow the enemy to weigh you down with the guilt and shame of the past.   Let go of all that held you captive, and all that anchored you.  Release the chains that bind you, for I have set you free, and there is nothing that can enslave you. 

If I AM with you, who can be against you? 
Who can come against Me?
Who is powerful enough to make Me run? 
Is there any? 
No! 

Say yes, and amen.


You must believe that My Promises are true and sealed with The Blood that My Son shed for you.  This same Blood, His Blood, washed away your sins.  I Have forgiven, I Will restore, and I Will heal you. 

Just believe and walk in the faith you have in Me. 
Set your eyes on Me, listen for My Voice, fill your spirit with
     My Word, and walk towards your destiny;
     knowing that I Am walking with you. 

Just say yes, and amen.


I made all things and I have much in store for you; more than you can perceive, more than you can begin to imagine.  However, you can only see this if you turn away from that which is hindering you. 

Turn away from the past and walk forward with Me, so you can receive all that I have promised you, all that I have planned for you. 

I Will not let anything harm you. 
I Will make a way out when your back
     is against the wall...
And I Will deliver.
Believe in Me as you believe the sun will rise
     each day.
Say yes, and amen.


My child, I love you with an everlasting love, and I Will be with you to the ends of the earth. Believe because they are My Words and I Am not a man that I would lie or seek to deceive you. Trust that I Will restore and bring you into a new season.

Now, will you say yes and amen to My Will?
Yes and amen to My Way?
And Yes and amen to Me?






READ AND MEDITATE ON GOD'S WORD:

Set a Guard Over Your Mouth (7.22.18)


My Child,
My increase is upon you,
     so set a guard over your mouth.

Yes, you need to watch what you say.

I hear those who confess themselves right into poverty and others who lock themselves into lack, because of their continual confession of negative things. Set a careful watch over the words of your mouth. 
Loose yourself from all that’s negative and confess the Word.  My Word. 

Confess My Word, that’s all you need to do.

If you have forgotten what I’ve spoken to you, inquire of Me and I Will confirm My Promises. Expressing your worry, fears, discouragement, and disappointment will tear down all that we have built

Your words will either build up or tear down
     everything around you.
They will either bless you or curse you. 

Choose to be blessed by repeating the promises of
     My Words, until they find a resting place
     in your heart. 

I want you to set your mind on My Word.

Think in faith and then dare to step out into
     My Provision and My Protection.

I encourage you today - to watch, to pray and to be
     mindful of the words that you speak.

Let My Words flow forth from your mouth in praise.

Stand and declare boldly "The Lord is blessing me!!! 
    He is enlarging my territory and doing exceeding and
     abundantly above anything I could ever imagine." 


Again, I say unto you...
     Set a guard over your mouth.

#ScriptureReflection - Mark 6:30-34 (7.21.18)

The apostles gathered together with Jesus
and reported all they had done and taught.

He said to them,
“Come away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.”
People were coming and going in great numbers,
and they had no opportunity even to eat.
So they went off in the boat by themselves to a deserted place.
People saw them leaving and many came to know about it.
They hastened there on foot from all the towns
and arrived at the place before them.

When he disembarked and saw the vast crowd,
his heart was moved with pity for them,
for they were like sheep without a shepherd;
and he began to teach them many things.

It's Time to Break Free, Release and Move.... (7.20.18)

My Child,
You are dragging your feet because you are afraid to do what I have shown you to do.  You are afraid to step out because you don’t want to fail again; and because of this, you are moving at a snail's pace and getting nowhere. 

How do you know that you will fail, if you won’t even try?


Did you think that by ignoring the prompting in your spirit,
     it would ease off or go away? 
Did you hope that I would change My Mind
     and lead you in a different direction? 

I change not.

Don’t you realize that I see the end from the beginning? 
Don’t you know that when I make My Plans, I make them
     with full knowledge of the past, present, and future? 

My Plans will come to pass.


You have asked Me to fulfill the desires of your heart. 
You reached out to Me to provide, and asked Me to
     cause you to rise up and take your place. 

My Child, I have been answering your cries, but you've allowed the spirit of fear to hinder you from taking the opportunities that I’ve opened before you.  You must move from your place of complacency and move forward with Me.


I have chosen a plan for you that is best suited to your abilities and the desires of your heart.  I’ve set things in order for you to fulfill that plan; and when you do, you will be surprised to see the final results.  However, you must not doubt Me and you must not question My Wisdom; for this doubt is causing you to be held captive to your past. 

Do not allow the mistakes of the past 

     to keep you from moving forward. 
Your sins have been forgiven.
All things are made new.


It is time to break free, My Child.

It’s time for you to take My Hand and allow Me
     to lead you quickly to your destination. 

But you must shake off the spirit of fear,
     for there can be no more delays. 
There must be no more doubt in the Word I have given you.  

You must act now so that you don’t miss
     the opportunity that lies before you.







READ AND MEDITATE ON GOD'S WORD:
Psalm 119:59-60 - I thought on my ways, and turned my feet to Your testimonies. I made haste and did not delay to keep Your Commandments.

Malachi 3:6 - For I am the LORD, I change not; 

Romans 12:11 - As to diligence, not slothful, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord;

Hebrew 6:11-12 - And we desire that each one of you show the same eagerness to the full assurance of hope to the end,  That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

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.

At that time Jesus exclaimed:
“I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth,
for although you have hidden these things
from the wise and the learned
you have revealed them to the childlike.
Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will.
All things have been handed over to me by my Father.
No one knows the Son except the Father,
and no one knows the Father except the Son
and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him.”

God is Your Source (7.18.18)

My Child,
Can you see that I have everything you will ever need?

There is no lack and there is no limit
     to what I can do in your life.

I Have all that you will ever need, and I Hold in My Hands the answer to every prayer. So, why do you look to yourself or to the world to meet your needs? 

I Am your source for everything. 

I will not withhold anything good from My Children who are following My Word.  Just reach out in faith, and believe it’s yours. Hold fast your confession of faith and believe that what you’ve prayed for, shall come to pass.  And it will.

This is My Promise to you.

My Child, realize that I have already provided.
You cried out to Me, and I answered. 
Now, it’s up to you to reach out, by faith,
     and take hold of these good things.

Look with the eyes of faith, and see all that I Have provided. Reach out and enjoy what I Have given to you. Look out over the land I’ve shown you; and once you realize that it’s yours, you will have the faith to take hold of it.

Stand in faith.
Stand and rejoice, knowing that I Am your provider. 
Call upon Me and I Will answer. 
I Am the author and finisher of your faith, and no
     good thing will I withhold from those who love Me.

Smile Again!! (7.17.18)

My Child,
You’ve been dealing with the disappointment
     and rejection of the past.
You’ve been tempted to give up on yourself
      because of feeling unworthy.
the enemy is taunting you, making you think
     that I don’t need you anymore.

However, I say to you, do not give up on yourself because I have not given up on you. There are so many wonderful things waiting to be completed by you. Bring all that burdens you to Me.  Leave them at My Son's feet, and allow Me to heal and restore your joy.

Do not waste any more time allowing the enemy to whisper lies of defeat and failure in your ear.

I love you, and I want you to know how loved and blessed you are.

My Child, there are many blessed and joyous times ahead for you. Take a moment and think about what I’ve 
said.  If you do, it will put a smile on your face.

Let My Holy Spirit refresh you.

Come on, it is time that you learn to smile 
again; and see the beauty that’s all around you. Take some time to smile, or you are going to miss all the beautiful things are happening (right now) in your life.

Rise Above All Chaos & Turmoil; Stay Calm; and Enter into Peace (7.16.18)

My Child,
Everything is going to be alright, just be still
     and maintain tranquility. 

I have given you assurance in the past; now, I Am bringing it again, by way of remembrance.  Rise above all chaos and turmoil and enter into peace.  Even when your circumstances place demands on your time and energy - be at peace.

Do all you can, then turn it over to Me.

I want you to be focused and stay calm, so you can receive the wisdom you need to get through the changes this season will bring.


Stay calm and take one step at a time. 

Frustration is your enemy and will cause you to make mistakes. Therefore, exhale, take a step back and listen for My Voice before you make the next move. If you need wisdom, ask for it, and I Will give it to you.  And when you pray, pray with confidence and faith in My Word, knowing that which you’ve asked is already done.

Put your confidence in Me, and not in man. 

I Will not fail you.
I Will lead you in the way you should go. 


My Child, I haven’t forgotten about you.  The process which I began is still in effect, and I Will bring it to completion. 

Trust Me, everything is alright. 
Meditate on My Word, and be encouraged this day. 

All is well.
All is well.  
Say it with Me, all is well.

Now, receive that in your spirit.
Everything is alright.
All.  Is.  Well.

desire when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

Lift Up Your Head, Do NOT be Discouraged by what You See in the Natural & Live by Faith (7.15.18)

My Child,
There is so much in this world that can discourage or dissuade you from following the path I have laid out for you.

And when your head hangs in weariness, all you tend to see are the obstacles blocking your path. However, if you lift your head up, you will be able to look beyond what is in front of you; and reflect upon the dreams and visions that I placed in your heart. 

Lift your head up and do not be discouraged by what you see in the natural, but remember that you are to live this life by faith, and not by what your natural eyes can see.
 
Lift your head and see all the beautiful things that
     are around you as you walk with Me.
Lift your head up and keep your faith high. 
Look to the possibility that you can do anything
     with Me at your side.
Lift your head up, open up your spiritual eyes and
     focus them on Me.

When you do this, you will see My Hands at work.

You will see the possibilities once again.
You will see these circumstances will work in your favor,
     and not against you. 

In your own strength, you cannot produce all the changes
     you want to see; but in Me, God your Father, all things
     are possible. 

What you cannot do, I Can.
 
It is time to lift your head up.
It is time to take your eyes off the natural
      and walk by faith.

Lift your head and enjoy your journey, for there is
      so much beauty to see and experience.
Lift your head up and have peace in knowing that
     you are not alone on this journey.
Lift your head up and see that I am with you
     every step of the way.

Now, take hold of My Strength, My Joy, and My Power; lift your head up; and let’s move beyond the enemies stumbling blocks.
