Take Every Thought Captive & Win the Battle in Your Mind (4.30.19)

My Child,

For some of you, there is a battle going on in your mind, and you may be feeling as though you cannot win.  You do not have to fight this battle alone.  You have Me.

Please do not give up on Me. 
I See your thoughts and I Know
     what you are thinking. 
PLEASE, do not allow the enemy to win. 

I Will keep you in perfect peace;
     if you keep your mind on Me.

I Know what you are going through is very difficult, and it seems as though good things are happening to others - even those who don’t profess to believe in Me.  Remember it is I Who makes the sun to rise on evil and good.  It is I Who sends the rain on the just and unjust. 

Do not allow what seems to be happening to others to cause you to lose faith in Me.

Trust Me when I say, 'your blessings are on the way.' 

I Know that some of you can't make yourself believe this right now, but you must refuse to listen to the thoughts of unbelief.  When you think your blessing isn’t going to happen, the enemy will surely cause doubt and unbelief to linger in your mind; and then you will dwell on the bad and not the good I Have done.  Some of you, in this trying time, have forgetten about all the past trials and tribulations I have brought you through. 

My Child, you must learn to resist the enemy and overcome evil with good.  Submit all to Me, resist the enemy, and he will flee.

I Say to you, "Rise up in the name of My Son, Jesus, and take every thought captive.  Saturate your mind with thoughts of ME and do not allow the evilness of the enemy to enter in. Stand on My WORD, speak it out loud and trust Me to see you through every storm of life.  Declare and decree that you will believe what My Word says, even when you cannot see your way.  Command things to line up according to My Word."

Do not allow the enemy to have access to your mind, or any area of your life for that matter. Overflow your mind with My Word, the Word of GOD!  

If thou can believe, in Me, all things are possible.  It is time to fill your mind with good thoughts; declare and decree them out loud each day; and do not doubt. 

It is time to take every thought captive
     and win the battle in your mind.

Let Go of the Things of the Past & Focus on God (4.29.19)

My Children,

Too many of you are holding on to the failures or disappointments from the past.  Some of you are so consumed with the past that you’re missing what I Am doing in your life, today.   I Hold you in the palm of My Hands.

However, I do not hold onto your mistakes.
Nor do I remember them.  

 

And if I don’t remember them, then why are you still holding on to them? Let go of the things in past.  Things that are holding you back or making you feel like you are unworthy of My Blessings. 

Release your mistakes into My Hands and allow Me to remove them completely.  If you surrender your past to Me, I Can (and I Will) bring healing to the hurt and to the pain.  I do not want you to live in the past; for I Am the GOD of now, and I want you to move forward with Me. I Know that what some of you have gone through (in the past) was devastating; but eyes have not seen nor ears heard, the things I Have prepared for those who love Me. 

Release yourself from the bitterness and/or unforgiveness of the past; and move forward to embrace My Love. 

 

Let go and press on to the destiny that I Have for you.  I Am the GOD of today, and it is "in the now" that I Desire to meet you.  If you dwell with Me in the spirit, and let go of the fleshly things of the past; then I Can reveal more of Myself to you.  And then, and only then, will you enter into a deeper relationship with Me. 

Oh My Child, you can’t change what has happened, and why would you want to? 

 

Everything that you’ve gone through has brought you closer to Me, and that is where I want you to be. 

 

Without a valley experience, you would never know the joy of living on the mountain, and you cannot begin to comprehend the things that I Have prepared for you. 

 

So, let go of the past and focus on your relationship with Me.

Exercise Your Faith (4.28.19)

My Children,
the enemy is at work to undermine the strength of your position, through subtle distractions.  I See many of you are stressed out about things you have no control over. 

Exercise your faith, and trust Me with those issues.  Do not be afraid of the enemy's attacks. If you need wisdom, all you have to do is ask Me.  I Will give wisdom to everyone who asks in faith. 

Refuse to allow the issues of life to have control over you.  

Do not give in to anything that has the potential to destroy your faith, hope, or confidence.  

Stand strong and know that I Will direct your steps.  I Will provide everything you need to accomplish what I Have given you to do. 

Let nothing interrupt your flow
    in the Spirit.

Exercise your faith
    and do not be afraid.

Hebrews 10:23 - Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

James 2:17-18 - Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.

#ScriptureReflection - Galatians 5 (ESV) (4.27.19)

Christ Has Set Us Free

5 For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.

² Look: I, Paul, say to you that if you accept circumcision, Christ will be of no advantage to you. ³ I testify again to every man who accepts circumcision that he is obligated to keep the whole law. ⁴ You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace. ⁵ For through the Spirit, by faith, we ourselves eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness. ⁶ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love.

⁷ You were running well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth? ⁸ This persuasion is not from him who calls you. ⁹ A little leaven leavens the whole lump. ¹⁰ I have confidence in the Lord that you will take no other view, and the one who is troubling you will bear the penalty, whoever he is. ¹¹ But if I, brothers, still preach circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been removed. ¹² I wish those who unsettle you would emasculate themselves!

¹³ For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. ¹⁴ For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” ¹⁵ But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another.

Keep in Step with the Spirit

¹⁶ But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. ¹⁷ For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. ¹⁸ But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. ¹⁹ Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, ²⁰ idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, ²¹ envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. ²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³ gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. ²⁴ And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

²⁵ If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. ²⁶ Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

God's Direction (4.26.19)

My Child,

The voice of the enemy is trying to lead you down a wide path.

Do not heed his voice any longer.

My Paths are straight and narrow, and you won’t have any difficulty finding them; if you listen to My Voice and follow in My Footsteps.

Do not look to man for directions. I Will guide thee. I Will direct your steps.  For it is written in My Word, “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord," not by man.  

All you have to do is trust Me to guide you, be patient, and allow Me to do everything in My Time. 

Do not be hasty, and do not lean unto your own understanding.  Rest in Me and I shall bring it to pass.  Trust in Me, wait for My Directions and I Will deliver you from your troubles. 

I Will bring you out into a better place. 

Wait for My Guidance and you shall receive
     that which you have desired.

Do Not Be Afraid to Ask (4.25.19)

My Child,
There is something you want to ask Me, but you wonder if you have the right to do so.

My children need to realize that I Know everything about them. I Know their thoughts, even when far away. Therefore, I Already know what it is you want to ask of Me.

I Am waiting for you to ask.
You have not, because you
     ask not.

Ask, and you will receive; so
     that your joy will be full.   

I Am Your Heavenly Father, and it is My Pleasure to supply your needs. It is My Joy to give you the blessings of My Kingdom, blessings that are stored up for you. 

Do not allow the enemy to bring condemnation upon you, and cause you to feel unworthy of the promises of My Kingdom. There is no condemnation to those who are in Christ. You have the right to live a blessed life.  A blessed life belongs to you. If you remember, I sent My Son so that you would have life, more abundantly.

You seem to have forgotten this.
You seem to have forgotten who you are.
And to whom you belong....
So let Me remind you.

You are a Child of the King.
You are blessed and highly favored.
And all that I Have, belongs to you.

Therefore, as a Child of the King,
     come and talk with Me.

Talk to your Father....
     and ask for what you need.

Now, do not be afraid.
Just ask.

Trust in His Guidance & Never Fear (4.24.19)

My Child,
I Know you are still experiencing suffering and sorrow at this present time.

Never fear, I Am your Father.
I Will be with you always.
I Will not leave you, nor forsake you.

Believe in My Strength, and stay suited up in the armor I Provided for you to wear, which is My Word, the Word of GOD, your Bible. As you walk through your valley, I Will be right by your side, letting no evil come near you or your dwelling place.

I Want you to listen very closely to what I Am saying in this hour. Do not doubt My Word, stand strong, and listen for My Guidance.

I Will not fail you.
I Will uphold you.
So fear not.

All is well.

Fear is of the enemy.  It is not of Me, therefore do not abide in it.

Trust in Me for all things.
At this moment, I Am sharpening
     your discernment.
Ask of Me for spiritual interpretation,
     and I will give it to you.

Be ready to receive, for it
     will come to you quickly.
Allow your mind to be transformed
     by what I Am saying to your Spirit.

Spend time in My Presence; more and more each day. Spending time with Me will eliminate any fear that is trying to overtake your Spirit. It will also block those anxious thoughts which trouble your Spirit at night.

Abide with Me, for there is no fear with Me.

Move in the leading of My Holy Spirit.

Praise Me continually.

Pray without ceasing, for I Am with you.
Know who you are in Me and know that all is well.

Trust Me.

Listen for my guidance and never fear.

Fret No More, Speak Forth, Embrace/Receive More of Me & Bask in My Precious Glory (4.23.19)

You’ve been distressed lately and
     suffering in silence.
However, through your pain and
     tears, you are still crying out
     for more of Me.

My Child,
I’ve heard you, and I Am going to honor your request. I Will fill those empty places in your life with more of Me than ever before. There is nothing greater you can ask for, than to have more of Me in your life.  

Dearest Child, I Called you and anointed you for great things.
I Repeat - I Called you (past) and anointed you (already done) for great things.

However, and too often, you’ve allowed thoughts from the past to come in and linger in your mind. the enemy is using those thoughts to torment and hinder you from moving forward; and therefore, you’ve been suffering in silence.

My Child, fret no more.
Fret No More....

Use My Name to bind up and cast out what the enemy is trying to do.
Use My Name, and I Will raise up a standard against the evil one, and he will not harm you anymore.

Remember that time, that moment, when you surrendered your life to Me?  It was at that time that I placed My Words in your heart, and it's time (right now & everyday from now on) that you speak My Words forth, by faith.

Speak forth My Words, continually, and when you do so, My Words Will destroy the stronghold of the enemy and bring you closer to Me. 

Speak forth all that I have given you.

Speak forth the mighty Name of My Son, Jesus, and the enemy will flee; for the enemy cannot stand to hear My Son's Name.  
 

And, My Child -- stop worrying about
     whether or not you are in the
     right place, for you are.

You are.....

I Have placed you exactly where you need to be, so that you can do the things needed for this season.

My Precious Child, I Adore You.
I Am so proud of you.
And I Am with you.

Continue to bask in My Precious Glory, as you receive more of Me.

God Has Been 'Turning Things Around...' & Your Time of 'Turnaround' is Here! (4.22.19)

My Child,
Yes, I know that for many of you, this has been a time of extreme testing; and many of you feel as though you have been tested in every area of your life. Even though you may have felt so overwhelmed at times, you must understand that this time of testing has brought you great growth and new perspectives in many areas of your life.

Nothing you went through was in vain.
All was done for My Glory.

Count it all joy that you were allowed to suffer for (and in) the Name of My Son, Jesus Christ. Oh, how you have endured, My Child. 

 

Through the storm, through the
     hurt and pain, you held on. 

 

However, your time of testing is nearing an end, and you will never be the same. It will be for you as it was for My Son; you will come out in the supernatural power of My Holy Spirit. The end will be far greater than the beginning.
 
Oh, can’t you just feel it in your own spirit? Great growth has taken place in your life, and so many lives will be blessed because of how you have persevered through the storm. Before promotion and the inheritance of the promises, there are always 'times of testing.' 

 

Watch now, for I Will surely cause the circumstances and situations of the testing to bring you forth in the supernatural power of My Holy Spirit; and to make the end of the time of testing, much better than the beginning.

Stand up My Child!
For your time of turnaround
     is near.

I Say to you, nothing will ever be the same in your life.
It is time for a turnaround.
It is time now!
