Allow God to Have Control (6.30.19)

My Child,
Let go and let Me have complete control of what you face each day; for I Desire to prepare you for mighty things.

Yes, I Am preparing you, so that I Can do a mighty work through you.  I Will lead you and guide you into all truth.  Therefore, do not fret when you feel like things aren’t going the way you planned. Remember, I Want to do a new thing in your life; so please allow Me to have control. Please let Me have My Way in your life.

And, please refrain from murmuring and complaining; and learn to count your blessings. Do not allow the enemy to rob you of your joy by focusing on negative circumstances. 

Yes, count your blessings and be grateful for the things you already have. When you Praise Me for the small things, you prepare yourself to receive great things.  

Now, will you allow Me to have control? I Am the Lord your GOD, and I Have control over anything you face. My Son, Jesus, died on the Cross so that you may have life, and have it more abundantly. 

I Am the Lord thy GOD, all by Myself, and there is no other.
I Am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End of all things.

Release everything to Me, My Beloved Child.

Simply "Lay It All Down" and Let The Father Refresh & Renew You (6.29.19)

My Child,
I Am the same yesterday, today and forever. 

Therefore, when things seem to be completely beyond your ability, come to Me.  For I Am the Rock of your faith. 

When everything seems to be spinning out of control, I Am your place of peace.  Come into My Presence, to receive healing and restoration. Lay it all down. Trust Me for wisdom and direction; and I Will guide you in the way in which you should go.  

Be strong and have faith in Me, the Lord your God and Father. I Am your Source of life and strength.  Yes, seek Me first, and you will find peace and direction for the trials you are facing .

There are times, My Child, when all you will need to do is be quiet and take your hands off everything. 

Today is one of those times. 

So, come now.  Lay it all down, and let Me Carry your burdens; as we walk together, rebuking everything the enemy has laid before you. And while I Am taking care of things, I Want you to set your mind and heart on My Word, The Word of GOD.

Dare to Believe in God's Word (6.28.19)

My Child,
For some of you, one of your greatest problems is that you don't always believe Me and take Me at My Word.  Some of you read the promises of My Word and think to yourself, "That is not for me" or "This is not for today."

My Precious Child, I Am the GOD of truth.
I Am the GOD who cannot lie. 
And I Do Not Change.

If I have given a promise, then I Will watch over My Word to make sure it does not return void. I Am the GOD of all power; no man can stay My Hand, and no force can prevent My Promises from coming to pass.  However, there is one thing that can hinder your blessings from coming forth; and that is your lack of faith and trust in My Word.

Persistent faith is the key that will unlock the promises I Have Made to you.  I May not give you a time frame, and for some of you, you seem to often tend to want to give Me one.  When your promise doesn’t come to pass on your time, some of you become frustrated and decide that I Am not going to keep My Word - and sadly, some of you stop believing.  

You must ask, seek, and knock until the door
     is opened. 
Isn’t this what My Son did in the garden before
     He gave His Life for you? 
He prayed and prayed, until I, God His Father,
     sent angels to minister unto Him. 
My Son Jesus Christ did not give up, nor should you.

You must press through in faith and know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that I Am faithful.  I Am able.  And I Will provide.  

Know that I who promised you, will deliver,
     and stand firm in that knowledge.

Persist in the face of doubtful circumstances and
     rebuke every hindering spirit coming against you.

Stand in faith and believe that I, the GOD who's Son
     gave His Life for you, will always keep My Word. 

So, be persistent and press through in faith,
     take hold of My Promises and do not let go. 

Trust Me, dare to believe and you WILL receive
     that which I Have Promised you.

#ScriptureReflection - Matthew 7:21-29 (6.27.19)

Jesus said to his disciples:
"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,'
will enter the Kingdom of heaven,
but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven.
Many will say to me on that day,
'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name?
Did we not drive out demons in your name?
Did we not do mighty deeds in your name?'
Then I will declare to them solemnly,
'I never knew you. Depart from me, you evildoers.'

"Everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them
will be like a wise man who built his house on rock.

The rain fell, the floods came,
and the winds blew and buffeted the house.
But it did not collapse; it had been set solidly on rock.
And everyone who listens to these words of mine
but does not act on them
will be like a fool who built his house on sand.
The rain fell, the floods came,
and the winds blew and buffeted the house.
And it collapsed and was completely ruined."

When Jesus finished these words,
the crowds were astonished at his teaching,
for he taught them as one having authority,
and not as their scribes.

 

 

 

A "Journey Walk" Prayer (6.26.19)

~ Prayer ~
Dear Heavenly Father,
Even on the days that I am overwhelmed with the challenges I am facing, thank You that You are never surprised by any of them. 

You are truly the GOD who knows; and as a result, I know that I can trust that You are not only with me on this journey, but that You will also give me the grace and strength to make it through. 

Help me to trust You with that today.

Amen

Faith Believers,
What situation do you find yourself in today in which you need to be reminded that GOD knows all about it and isn’t surprised by it?

Take some time right now to thank GOD that He not only know all about it, but He is right there beside you, walking through it together with you.

Change is Happening, Things are Changing. Stand, Be Renewed, You've Been Prepared - Now Go Conquer the Land.... (6.25.19)

Beloved,
Stay close to Me and allow My Presence to overshadow you and saturate your life.  Just because things are turning around, do not be tempted to stay away from Me. Strengthen yourself in Me, and stay before Me, so that discouragement will not be able to undermine the Blessed Assurance that is now upon your life. 

You are My Work in progress; and I Am working on you, and pouring much into you, because there is much to be done. 

I Am renewing your Spirit, so that you will be able to stand strong against the spirit of fear and do mighty things in My Name. Stand, My Child, and be renewed in the faith and confidence that I Am pouring into your life. 

Continue to feed upon My Word daily.  Hunger and thirst for it more than you do for natural food.  

Change is happening, and I Want you to enjoy what is happening in your life; but never forget where your help and your strength come from. Remember, apart from Me, you can do nothing. 

Things are happening, and the things you’ve been seeking will happen suddenly. 
You’ve been prepared.
Now it is time for you to go forth,
     and conquer the land.

#ScriptureReflection - 2 Corinthians 12:1-10 (6.24.19)

Brothers and sisters:
I must boast; not that it is profitable,
but I will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord.
I know a man in Christ who, fourteen years ago
(whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows),
was caught up to the third heaven.

And I know that this man
(whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows)
was caught up into Paradise and heard ineffable things,
which no one may utter.
About this man I will boast,
but about myself I will not boast, except about my weaknesses.
Although if I should wish to boast, I would not be foolish,
for I would be telling the truth.
 

But I refrain, so that no one may think more of me
than what he sees in me or hears from me
because of the abundance of the revelations.
Therefore, that I might not become too elated,
a thorn in the flesh was given to me, an angel of Satan,
to beat me, to keep me from being too elated.
 

Three times I begged the Lord about this, that it might leave me,
but he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you,
for power is made perfect in weakness."
 

I will rather boast most gladly of my weaknesses,
in order that the power of Christ may dwell with me.
Therefore, I am content with weaknesses, insults,
hardships, persecutions, and constraints,
for the sake of Christ;
for when I am weak, then I am strong.

I Want you to eliminate from your thoughts all the negative things and focus only on the good. Focus on My Word,  Focus only on things of a good report. Look for divine appointments and open doors today. Ask Me to open your eyes to the doors I Am setting before you.

I Am sending an anointing for prosperity upon you, and it will cause you to push forward and advance in those areas where it looks impossible.

#ScriptureReflection - Wisdom 7:7-14 (6.22.19)

Solomon’s Respect for Wisdom

⁷ Therefore I prayed, and understanding was given me;
I called on God, and the spirit of wisdom came to me.
⁸ I preferred her to scepters and thrones,
and I accounted wealth as nothing in comparison with her.
⁹ Neither did I liken to her any priceless gem,
because all gold is but a little sand in her sight,
and silver will be accounted as clay before her.

 
¹⁰ I loved her more than health and beauty,
and I chose to have her rather than light,
because her radiance never ceases.
¹¹ All good things came to me along with her,
and in her hands uncounted wealth.

 
¹² I rejoiced in them all, because wisdom leads them;
but I did not know that she was their mother.
¹³ I learned without guile and I impart without grudging;
I do not hide her wealth,
¹⁴ for it is an unfailing treasure for mortals;
those who get it obtain friendship with God,
commended for the gifts that come from instruction.

Even in the Midst of Unexpected Circumstances, Expect to Be Blessed. The Best is Yet to Come.... (6.21.19)

My Child,
Some of you have looked at your circumstances and lost sight that there is a future and a hope for you.

I Have not forsaken you, nor have I Forgotten you. When you pray, expect Me to move on your behalf and meet your needs. Even in the midst of trials and unexpected circumstances, expect to be blessed.

I Am God.  There is nothing too hard for Me.

Pray, and I Will provide the strength you need for the journey.
Pray, to find your place in the body of Christ - for your gifts and calling,
     and seek ways in which to enhance and use those of which you
     already have.
Pray, for understanding, as to what it is that I Would have you to do;
     then, surrender all to Me and allow yourselves to be led
     completely by My Holy Spirit in all things.

Be strong and look to Me, The Author and Finisher of your faith; and hold on. 

Expect great and mighty things. 

I AM the God of miracles.
I AM your God. 

The best is yet to come!

Focus on God's Promises, not Your Problems (6.20.19)

My Child,
Expect Me to do great things on your behalf.
Do not let negative thinking or discouragement
     rule in your heart.
Turn a deaf ear to those who try to rob you of your joy. 

Yes, turn from those who are trying to persuade you to look to man for all things pertaining to you. Am I not able to do all for you that I Have promised? Then I say to you, change your thinking and trust Me to do what I have promised.

Get back into the truth of My Word. Become focused on what I Have spoken, and believe that I Am faithful to keep My Promises to all who have faith in Me. Take authority in the realm of the Holy Spirit and do not back down to naysayers or opposing forces.

Stand upon My Word alone when the winds of adversity begin to blow, and I Will make a way for you. For if I have allowed adversity, it is to prove to you that I Am fully capable of bringing you through all things. I Planted you where you are, and yes, ye shall stand; for I Have your future in My Hands.

And yes, I Will guide you along the best
     pathway for your life.
I Will advise you and watch over you.
I Will not let you fail.
I Will not let you down.

#ScriptureReflection - 2 Corinthians 11:1-11 (6.19.19)

Brothers and sisters:
If only you would put up with a little foolishness from me!
Please put up with me.
 

For I am jealous of you with the jealousy of God,
since I betrothed you to one husband
to present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning,
your thoughts may be corrupted
from a sincere and pure commitment to Christ.
 

For if someone comes and preaches another Jesus than the one we preached,
or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received
or a different gospel from the one you accepted,
you put up with it well enough.
For I think that I am not in any way inferior to these "superapostles."
Even if I am untrained in speaking, I am not so in knowledge;
in every way we have made this plain to you in all things.

Did I make a mistake when I humbled myself so that you might be exalted,
because I preached the Gospel of God to you without charge?
I plundered other churches by accepting from them
in order to minister to you.
 

And when I was with you and in need, I did not burden anyone,
for the brothers who came from Macedonia
supplied my needs.
So I refrained and will refrain from burdening you in any way.
 

By the truth of Christ in me,
this boast of mine shall not be silenced
in the regions of Achaia.
And why?  Because I do not love you?
God knows I do!

 

 

 

 

Receive God's Peace (6.18.19)

My Child,
Some of you have been so busy going back and forth with many activities, that when you lie down at night, your mind keeps running and running. Some of you have become irritable and edgy. Finding it difficult to turn it off and find deep, restful sleep.

the enemy has been chasing you in circles without you even knowing it. he has steadily stolen your peace. For some of you, you must get back into My Word..... before he robs you of everything.


Stop. . . Breathe. . . Selah. . .


Saturate your mind with My Word.
Feed upon it, read it out loud so that My Word
     ministers to your Spirit.
Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of GOD.

When you focus your eyes back on Me, you will find the peace you seek. Then the turbulent waters of your mind will cease, and My Peace will return to you and your life.

Peace.
My peace.
A peace that surpasses all understanding.

Embrace it My Child.

Embrace My Peace.......

Today is a New Day, It's Time to Being Again, It's Time to Move on to New Things.... Today. Right Now. (6.17.19)

My Child,
Today is new, it is filled with brand new mercies, and this day is filled with My Amazing Grace.

Therefore, this day, I Ask you to leave the past behind and fully embrace new life. Today, stop hanging on to your yesterdays; and let go of the fear, the regrets, and the pain it produced. I Am about to release a new wave of glory into the lives of My Children and you cannot bring the old into the new. 

So, let go of the things which are holding you back; so you can move forward with Me and fully embrace the new thing I Am doing.

Great things are happening in the spirit realm, and I Want you to experience this.  However, you cannot be in two places at once, just as you cannot serve two masters. You cannot move ahead with Me while holding onto the past. So stop reliving decisions made, broken relationships and mistakes that will never bless you. 

It is time to move on to the new things
     I Have waiting for you.

Today, receive a fresh outpouring of My Holy Spirit, and allow Me to enable you to be a blessing to those around you. 

Today, no longer allow your mind to dwell in the past and on the things that happened long ago. 

Today is a new day, and it is time to begin again.

After all, you have everything to gain
     and nothing to lose... but the past.

Read and Meditate on God's Word:

Isaiah 43:18-19 - Do not call to mind the former things, or ponder things of the past. Behold, I will do something new, now it will spring forth; will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, rivers in the desert.

Your Blessed Appointments (6.16.19)

My Child,
As you attend your appointments, do not
     worry about the outcome. 

Know that I Am sending an angel to go before you,
     who shall set you up for a blessing.

Therefore, do not be concerned with the immediate or apparent results, just trust that your future outcome is in My Hands.  And if you know that it is in My Hands, why should you worry?

When you became one with Me, you invited Me to dwell in the midst of everything that pertains to you. Therefore, you must have confidence in knowing that angels have been sent to keep charge over you. Your times are in My Hands. Your future is in My Hands.  So, do not fret.  And do not be anxious about anything.  The ultimate outcome of the things that you have cast upon Me are being watched, and angels have gone before you to prepare your blessing.

Therefore, whatever appointments or meetings are on your calendar - commit them to Me, and have confidence that I Am more than able to handle them. And stop stressing about the immediate results, because stressing will cause you to lose sight of the Blessings that I Have in store for you.

Always know that when you commit your appointments to Me, that they will be Blessed.

Now, trust Me to oversee all your appointments.
 
Place all in My Hands, and know that I Have
     ordained the meetings, aligned you with
     My Chosen Ones, and set you up to be Blessed.
