Speak Beloved Speak (12.12.13)

 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with GOD, and the Word was GOD. The same was in the beginning with GOD. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld His glory as of the only begotten of the Father. - John 1:1

Beloved,

In the beginning, I spoke one word and it was so. 

When I said "Let there be light”, there simply was light. 

With just one word, with just one whisper, man became a living being.

I have given to each of you My Word. 

I have given you My authority, 

I have given you all the resources you will ever need 

to defeat the enemy, and I say to you 

SPEAK BELOVED SPEAK! 

Don’t you know there is a creative force that resides within your spirit? 

The same Spirit that raised My Son from the dead 

now dwells within your mortal beings.

Speak beloved 

and know that My Word is not confined by any circumstances. 

Nothing can stop My Word. 

My Word goes forth and accomplishes what I have commanded it to accomplish. 

It will not return to Me void. 

My Word, and faith in My Word, is all that you will ever need 

to change your circumstances and situations. 

My Word transcends even the stars in the heavens. 

Heaven and earth shall one day pass away, 

but My Word will remain forever.

My Word is your sword in this battle. 

Use My Word and watch demons will flee. 

When you release My Word, in faith, over your circumstances, 

mountains are moved, walls come down and giants are subdued. 

My Word has power, My Word has authority. 

Stand upon My Word and nothing will overtake you. 

Oh speak, beloved, speak!

Speak and watch the mountains move out of your way. 

Speak and watch your night turn into day! 

Speak and watch the walls fall down before your very eyes. 

Speak and watch the giants flee from your very presence.

-----

Ezekiel 12:25 - For I am the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD.

Ezekiel 12:28 - Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; There shall none of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord GOD.

A Jesus-like Prayer Life (12.11.13)

Jesus’ primary mission on earth was His atoning, death and resurrection. 

However, He also served as the perfect example for all Christians to follow. 

Being the Son of GOD, He was the model teacher, the consummate leader, 

the exemplary servant and the excellent ethicist. 

His prayer life, as in all other spiritual disciplines, was perfect. 

So a Christian desiring to learn about prayer and how to pray
should carefully examine and follow the prayer life of Jesus.

Jesus is divine, and He was filled with the Holy Spirit
throughout His earthly ministry.
If anyone ever had an excuse for a lax prayer life, it was Jesus!
Yet, Jesus prayed frequently (Luke 5:16), fervently (Luke 22:44), and faithfully (John 17).

Even rising early to pray after a long day of teaching and healing (Mk.1:35).

- Prayer - 

Lord Jesus,
Please teach me how to pray frequently, fervently and faithfully; 

as You did in Your humanity!
You are God, and yet, You rose early to pray.
And you never did or said anything You didn’t receive from Your Father.

Please give me a better understanding of the power of prayer, 

so that I will seek Your face passionately and continually.

Amen

Each Day God Sends a New Dawn, and a New Mercy (12.10.13)

My Child,

You do not have to carry your burdens; 

I am here to take them from you. 

Do not walk each day in guilt from previous sins. 

Give these to Me, and I will wash them away.  

I will throw them as far away as the east is from the west, 

and they shall be remembered no more. 

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.

Each day I send a new dawn, and 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. 

You must believe that My promises are true, 

and sealed with the blood that I shed for you. 

This same blood washed away your sins. 

I have forgiven, I will restore, and I will heal you. 

Say yes, and amen.

Let go of all that held you captive, and all that anchored you down. Release the chains that bind you, for I have set you free.  There is nothing that can enslave 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 thy truth and walk forward in your freedom; knowing that I Am walking with you. Say yes, and amen.

For I made all things and I have much in store for you, more than you can perceive, more than you can begin to imagine. Turn away from the past and walk forward with Me so you can receive all I have promised you.  All I have planned for you. Say yes, and amen.

My child, I love you with an everlasting love and I will be with you unto the ends of the earth. 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. Believe because they are My words and I am not man that I would lie or seek to deceive you. 

Trust that I will restore all things 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?

Its Time You Begin to Expect God to Work Miracles Through You (12.9.13)

You are going through a series of situations 

and circumstances to cause your faith to grow.
They were designed to push you past your comfort zone
and teach you to trust Me like never before. 

Then, as you step out in renewed faith
you will see doors opened which you thought were impossible.
And as you experience My faithfulness in each situation,
it will cause your faith to grow.

Then I will push you a bit further. 

I am going to take you through experience after experience, 

designed to grow and mature your faith.

If you look at your life, you will see that you have been going through the same type of faith-producing situation over and over again. I am explaining it to you clearly so that you don't become confused and think you are under attack 100% of the time from the enemy. You’re not. I want you to understand that some of your trials are coming from Me, in order to cause your faith to grow. So instead of looking to war in the spirit, yield to Me while trusting and stepping out in faith, believing the things I have promised.

It is My desire that you become strong, mighty, full of faith.  

That you are able to do all things that I place in your hand to do. 

Yes, it may seem like I am asking the impossible of you, 

but I will enable you with My supernatural power. 

Your faith will activate My power in your situation 

and you will see the impossible take place according to My will.

Things are changing and it is time you begin to expect Me to work miracles through you. 

It is time for you to realize that My Son really meant what He said that you would do the same works, the same signs and wonders that He did when He walked this earth. That is why I am working in your life now.  To begin building your faith. I am preparing you for greater things. 

So look forward expectantly to what I will be doing in you and through you, for I am causing your faith to grow so that you can work with Me to fulfill My purposes.

--------

Luke 17:5 - And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.

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 and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ

It's a Faith Battle, My Child (12.8.13)

1 Peter 5:8 - Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

Isaiah 59:19 - So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.

My Child,

The enemy has been creeping and plotting.  

Seeking ways to destroy everything you believe in. 

He never sleeps nor rests from his assignment against you, and you are being tempted to lose heart. I see your struggles and your discouragement, and I know it’s been difficult for you at times. Why do his attacks surprise you?

Remember this, some of his greatest weapons are lies and deceit. Don’t fear him My child. Stand firm and continue to resist him. He has no power over you. Do not give him a place in your life, not through unrighteous thoughts, words, or deeds. You are more than a conqueror through Me. I have provided all that you need to overcome his attacks. That’s right, by the blood of the Lamb and the word of your testimony, he is defeated. You have nothing to fear.

So stand strong when the enemy comes against you.  Know that My Spirit shall lift up a standard against him and send him fleeing from you. You are my chosen one.  I did not put a spirit of fear within you. Stand strong and know that I have already won the battle, all you have to do is resist him. 

It’s a faith battle My child, a faith battle. 

I love you.

- A Prayer Confession -

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for reminding me
that I should not be allowing myself to fear the enemy
and his evil schemes.

Oh what joy floods my soul when I think about
how You rose on the third day
with all power, defeating the enemy for us!

Thank You Jesus!

Yes, Lord
I know it’s a faith battle,
and in Your Holy Name,
I will resist the enemy and watch him flee.

Amen!

Be Still and Have Faith, Beloved (12.6.13)

Beloved,

I see that you are very troubled and restless. 

Why are you listening to those troubling reports and believing them? 

Don't you know that GOD has control over all diagnosis? What evil scheme can the enemy concoct that will leave GOD standing there scratching His head? Nothing can take our Father by surprise because He is a forever knowing and forever seeing GOD. If GOD is for you, who can be against you? He has all power, and there is nothing and no one who is equivalent to Him. He is GOD all by himself.

GOD is the Faithful and loving Father who will never fail you. He will watch over you to guide you through even your darkest night. Hasn't He always allowed the Spirit to bring you peace in the midst of a storm? Hasn't He confirmed His words and His promises in your life over and over?

I say, Be still and have faith beloved. Praise and worship GOD for by doing so you will find rest for your soul. This will be the key to your victory and this will also be the key to defeating the spirit that troubles you. Never lose faith in what GOD is able to do for you. TRUST IN HIS WORD AND BELIEVE IN HIS WORD when the floodgates of negativity open up against you. Remember HE IS Jehovah Shammah (The Lord is present) and there is no other.

John 14:1 - Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in GOD, believe also in me.

Continue to Pray, Don't Give Up (12.5.13)

Beloved,
You have so much on your mind, 

and you’ve been praying fervently about something you need to do. 

You are seeking wisdom and guidance from Me for the next step. 

Continue to pray, don't give up. 

I will show you what, where and when to take the next step. 

Therefore, stay before Me in prayer. 

Stay in close communion with Me.  

By doing this you will be reassured of My love for you. 

This will strengthen your faith and trust in Me. 

Once all of this manifests, you will see that I was there all the time. 

I never left you alone in this matter.

I know you are concerned about the outcome.  About how others will respond. Don't worry about it or them.  Keep your eyes on Me and keep praying. I am working on all that concerns you; and you will be so relieved and renewed once this is over. There will be so much thankfulness and joy in your heart afterwards. So keep praying.

When You Pray.... (12.4.13)

When you pray for a prayer to be answered, what are you expecting? 

Maybe the best way to ask is: Are you wracking your brain trying to figure out how GOD is going to answer your prayer? 

We don’t get to choose how GOD will answer our prayers. Our job is to ask. 

Perhaps He will answer exactly how you expect Him to, 

or maybe the mountains will tremble right there in front of you. 

Whatever GOD chooses to do, it is going to be something so awesome, you would have never expected it to happen that way. 

Our ways are not GOD's ways and our thoughts are not His thoughts. 

Remember, when the Lord does answer your prayers (which will be in His timing and not ours) it will be huge.

- Prayer - 

Holy Father,
Come in Your awesome power.

Help me not to think I can control you
or expect you to move when I think you should move.

Father, I am expecting you to bless me as you promised, 

because I have been obedient to Your Word. 

Father, You are GOD! 

You will do what You will do. 

I choose to keep my eyes on You and glorify You through it all. 

However You choose to manifest Yourself Lord, I will wait and be grateful for my blessing. 

Amen

It's Time to Stand Against All that Is Coming Against You & Trust God (12.2.13)

Beloved,

Some of My people are running from the enemy and his attacks. It’s time to stop running and hold fast to the things that I have spoken and promised you. It’s time to cause the enemy to flee from you. There is nothing that can remove you from My hand. If you continue to look at the circumstances around you, they will cause panic, then unbelief will dwell within your heart. 

Therefore, trust Me and take My hand.

Now is the time to stand against all that is coming against you. 

Now is the time to trust Me to deliver you from all that is hindering you. 

Yes, it’s true that you were attacked by the enemy, 

but you don’t have to stay down. 

Like Peter, you have been sinking into the water. 

Now be wise like Peter and reach up, take My hand, and walk again.

Take My hand and I will heal, deliver and bless you 

beyond what you thought was possible. 

Take My hand and rise up to be all that I have called you to be. 

Nothing is impossible for Me. 

We will conquer and overcome together, 

for I called you to be victorious over the enemy of your soul. 

Trust Me to work out everything for your good. 

Look up, trust in Me, take My hand 

and we will overcome and experience victory together.

Forgiveness Is.... A Decision, A Choice, A Cleansing (12.1.13)

WHAT IS FORGIVENESS:

Forgiveness is a decision I make to obey GOD and to walk as a life-style, in a higher realm, by not allowing someone else's actions or attitudes dictate my actions or attitudes.

First of all, forgiveness is a decision. 

Even though some decisions can be very difficult, GOD has given us the ability to make them. Even if our emotions are screaming, "No! No!"; we are still capable of making a choice to forgive. It is not really accurate to say, "I can't forgive."  That's not true. 

What you are actually saying is, "I won't forgive."

It is a choice. A difficult one, you bet!
One you don't feel like making - sure!
But possible? Yes! 

It is possible to forgive, even though there is nothing within us that feels like forgiving. 

It is an act of our will - not our emotions!

Forgiveness is a decision I make. 

Who makes it?  I do.
Even GOD Himself cannot make that decision for you.
Only you can decide to forgive with your heart. 

If you don't forgive, you will have to live with the crippling consequences of your unforgiveness.

Forgiveness is a decision I make to obey GOD. 

Forgiveness is not a suggestion - it's a commandment. 

GOD doesn't say, "It would really be a good idea if you could find it in your heart to do some forgiving." 

No! 

He says, "You must forgive!" 

Forgiveness is a choice of obedience to GOD
and it's something that can take place in the privacy of your own heart.

Even if you are angry or bitter towards someone who has already died, forgiveness is still possible for you. Because forgiveness is an issue of the heart. And as you forgive, you will experience GOD's peace within your spirit.

Forgiveness is cleansing your heart - before you go to anyone else for advise or prayer. First, make it right before GOD. That's where forgiveness must begin. Then, as the Lord specifically directs you, you can forgive and seek reconciliation with the other person.
