This is a Faith Walk, Trust God for He will Provide (1.13.14)

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. - Philippians 4:19

My Child,
Just because you have not seen the provision I have promised you, with your natural eyes - does not mean it will not arrive. I have promised you that if you keep your eyes focused on Me, and not the expectant provision, you will begin to see greater measures of My Glory in every aspect and area of your daily existence.

Look to Me.
You are My chosen vessel of honor.
I will not fail you in any way.

The provision that you are waiting for is indeed, a part of the fulfillment of My plan. There is no need for you to delay in praising Me for its' arrival. Praise Me now. Praise Me just as if you have already dispensed of it in the earth. Remember these words, "That whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive."

So get into the spirit of praise for what I am doing in your life right now. I am calling you to be the very best steward with faithfulness in every respect. The reward for your faithfulness is immeasurable, if you would but totally yield the whole of your thoughts towards Me. In the secret place, I will reveal the deeper plans and purposes that I have for you. Cast off all fear, come unto Me and spend time with Me. Allow My love to draw you closer to Me. My love is perfect love and it will cast off all fear, so that you can enter into my presence.

And one last thing, just because you don’t see Me moving in the direction you expect Me to move in, does not mean that I am not moving. Remember, My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways.  For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

All you need to do is trust Me.
And know that I will provide.

- My Prayer Confession - 

Heavenly Father,
Thank You for reminding me 
that this is a faith walk. 

You have never failed me.
I am trusting and leaning on You all the way.

I know that delayed does not mean
that my blessing is denied. 

I will wait patiently for Your promises,
For I know You as my Jehovah Jireh,
My Provider

Amen.

You Are Ordained for Victory Through Christ (1.9.14)

Beloved,

Have you not read in My word how the spiritual battles often raged around Me as I went about My Father’s business?  That’s because of Who I Am, and as I pushed back the kingdom of darkness, he would try and fight back.  This is what is happening to you.  The enemy is pushing back because of the works you are doing.  The enemy does not like to lose.  Do not worry about the battle that rages around you, for I have already given you the victory.
 
To be victorious all you have to do is stand and follow My battle strategy.  It’s very simple, I looked to the Father and did only what He showed Me to do.  There were times when the Father simply took care of things and I had to do was to be still.  Other times the Father would call Me to action and would show Me what to do.  I engaged only in the battles that He led Me into, I fought the way He showed Me to fight and each time the Father would give Me the victory.

So do not be surprised when the enemy tries to do the same things to you that He tried to do to Me when I walked this earth; for you bear My name.  I never promised you that it would always be easy, in fact, I said in this world, there would be times of tribulation and adversity.  Do not be afraid of these things, for I overcame them, and they shall not overcome you.  I have placed My Spirit within you, I have given you My work to do and I will empower you to complete it successfully.

I have made you victorious and an overcomer through Me.  So do not fear the battle, precious one, for I am fighting along side of you.  I will work My glory in each of your circumstances as you go forth in obedience to Me.  I will lift you up to the place of victory and I will cause you to stand mighty in Me.  So don’t fear the battle, for you are ordained for victory.

1 Peter 4:12-13 - Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

Psalm 118:6 - The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?

John 15:16 - Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

Seek Me, Then Your Spiritual Eyes Will Be Opened (1.8.14)

Beloved,

For a while now you have been sensing a distance and dryness of My presence in your life.  You have been greatly troubled by this and have considered many reasons why this is so.  You have searched deep within your heart and found mistakes, but your mistakes have been covered by My blood.  My blood is more than sufficient to cover a multitude of your sins, so why are you still sensing a distance from My presence?

Let Me tell you; it is all about pursuit.

In times when you feel that I am distant, that’s My call to you to pursue Me.  To search Me out in all your ways.  Seek Me in your daily activities.  Read My Word daily and in the pursuit of My presence, you will gain renewed strength. This pursuit is designed to strengthen and revitalize your spiritual muscles.  It is designed to draw you closer to Me, to renew your vows and your love for Me.

So when you feel discouraged and disappointed, seek Me.  For when you seek Me with all your heart, surely you will find Me. Then your spiritual eyes will be open to see that it was not I who moved; I was there all the time, waiting patiently for you.

Jeremiah 29:12-14a - Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.  And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. And I will be found of you, saith the LORD

God is Everything for Everybody, Everywhere, Every Time and in Every Way (1.7.14)

 GOD is my Redeemer, He is my Savior,
He is my guide and He is my peace!

He is my Joy, He is my comfort,
He is my Lord and He rules my life!

I serve Him because His bond is love, His burden is light
and His goal for me is abundant life.

I follow Him because He is the wisdom of the wise,
the power of the powerful, the ancient of days, the ruler of rulers,
the leader of leaders, the overseer of the overcomers
and the sovereign Lord of all that was and is and is to come.

And if that seems impressive to you, try this on for size.

His goal is a relationship with ME! 

He will never leave me, never forsake me,
never mislead me, never forget me, never overlook me
and never cancel my appointment in His appointment book!

When I fall, He lifts me up! When I fail, He forgives!
When I am weak, He is strong! When I am lost, He is the way!
When I am afraid, He is my courage! When I stumble, He steadies me!
When I am hurt, He heals me! When I am broken, He mends me!
When I am blind, He leads me! When I am hungry, He feeds me!
When I face trials, He is with me! When I face persecution, He shields me!
When I face problems, He comforts me! When I face loss, He provides for me!
When I face Death, He carries me Home!


He is everything for everybody, everywhere, every time and in every way.
He is GOD, He is faithful.
I am His and He is mine!
So, if you're wondering why I feel so secure, understand this...
He said it and that settles it.
GOD is in control, I am on His side and that means that all is well with my soul.

Everyday is a blessing 

for GOD Is!

Stop Praying Prayers of Doubt & Pray Prayers of Faith (1.6.14)

My Children,
You all have no concept of how powerful prayer is intended to be.

You do not realize that prayer, activated by faith, can move mountains.  Prayer is a powerful tool that I have given you to use for My glory, to accomplish My purposes on this earth.

When I walked this earth, I lived a life of prayer, and I taught on prayer.  I said that when two of you agree together in My name, you can ask for anything and it will be done.  I said if you have faith when you pray, believing that I will answer your prayer, then I will.  I spoke the truth then and it is still the truth now.  I changeth not.

I am the GOD who delights to answer the prayers of My people...providing they do not pray amiss.  I do not respond to prayers of doubt and wavering.  But I do respond to prayers of faith and I greatly desire that type of prayer from you.  I want you to be confident that you can approach My throne with boldness and make your requests known to Me.  I want you to truly believe that I will hear you and will not turn you away.
 
At the same time, I want your prayers to be in alignment with My will, not selfish or carnal, but full of life and led by My indwelling Holy Spirit.  Do you remember how My Son prayed just before He faced the cross?  He told Me what His will and desires were, but then He laid aside His needs and told Me nevertheless, not My will let Thy will be done. There will be times in your life when you must do the same, and I will make those times clear to you.  However, I want you to truly believe that I do desire to give you the desires of your heart.  I delight to give good gifts to My children and I want your joy to be full.

I am the GOD of the impossible.  I am the GOD who hears and answers the prayers of His people and I want you to be mindful of that when you pray, so that your prayers will be full of faith.  I want you to pray prayers that tug on the hem of my garment.  I want to show My glory and demonstrate My great love to you.  I want to answer your prayers.

So, dear child, believe who I am.  

Believe what I have said to you over and over again, 

both in My written word and in My prophetic word.  

Stop praying prayers of doubt and begin praying prayers of faith.  

Pray with the expectation that I will indeed 

hear and answer your prayer.

And I will!

Give Thanks to the Lord, His Faithful Love Endures Forever!! (1.5.14)

I will give thanks to You, O Lord,
and call on Your name. 

I will make known among men the amazing things that You have done. I will sing to You and praise You alone. Teach me what it means to “glory in Your name,” that my heart might always rejoice in You. For it is my great desire to seek Your face always and to remember the wonders that You have done. I give thanks to You, Lord, for You are good. 

Your love endures forever!

You remembered me when I was lost and without You,
and You freed me from the enemy! 

Your love endures forever! 

While I was still in my sin, Christ died for me! 

Hallelujah! Your love endures forever! 

You have not kept a record of my sin, nor treated me as my sins deserve, 

but through Christ, You have removed my sin from me 

as far as the east is from the west, and remembered it no more! 

Hallelujah! 

Your faithful love endures forever!

I will bless Your name, O Lord, and in Your name I will lift up my hands, for Your faithful love endures forever! I will praise You, O Lord, for there is no GOD like You in heaven or on earth — You who keep Your covenant of love with Your servants who continue wholeheartedly in Your way. There is nothing too difficult for You! 

Your love endures forever! 

Yours is the greatness O Lord, with all the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is Yours.

You are exalted as head over all. Wealth and honor come from You alone, for You are the ruler of all things. In Your hands are the strength and the power to exalt and give strength and power to all. And I join with all of heaven, and Your people everywhere, in giving You thanks and praising Your glorious name! Hallelujah! 

Your faithful love endures forever! 

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! 

Amen and Amen!

Today is A New Day, The Time is Now - Prepare Yourself, Rejoice and Do Not Delay (1.4.14)

My Child,

Prepare yourself and do not delay.  

Be prepared, for I say, I made a day and I called it "today”.  

I desire to move in your life today, so be prepared for I will not delay.
Mountains that once stood in your way
will be made flat and your feet will tread on solid ground. 

Did I not say I would do this? 
Am I not He who promised that when you tell the mountain
to be cast into the sea, it shall be so? 
I am He who said “Let it be,” now let it be.

Today, right now;
it is time to take off the rags of mourning that you have walked in. 
You learned much in your desert and wilderness experience;
and during that experience you were changed,
shaped and molded into a new person. 
Now shake the dust off your feet and straighten your shoulders,
for I am about to make a great and mighty move in your life.

So much has happened in the heavenlies,
things that were unseen will soon be revealed. 
Now be prepared, for your season is here,
it is changing before your very eyes.

This is a season of change; and it shall change suddenly.  

One moment it will be one way and then suddenly it will be another way.  

A new, different and wonderful change will take place.

I am closing the doors on your season of tears and hardships;

and opening new windows of opportunity.  

Today make haste, and prepare for I will not delay.  

Today is a new day. A day to stand. A day to be victorious.
It is a day to reap the fruits of your prayers, your tears
and faith in My word. 

A day that I have made and called it "Today”.  

The time is now.  Rejoice.  

I say rejoice with joy, with singing and praises to My name
for your deliverance has come.

Now prepare yourself, rejoice, and do not stop.

It's a New Year, a Time to Walk in Renewed Faith - Part 2 (1.3.14)

Beginning today, I will cherish each moment of my life, 

because everyday is a gift from the Lord.   

I will value this gift and I will unselfishly share this gift with others.  

Beginning today, I will face challenges with courage and determination.  

I will overcome the barriers that try to hinder my quest to succeed, 

for greater is He who is in me than he who is in the world.

Beginning today, I will take life one day at a time, one step at a time.  

Discouragement will not be allowed to taint my positive self-image, 

because the Lord didn't give me a spirit of fear, 

but a powerful spirit of love and a sound mind.  

Beginning today, I will open my mind and my heart.  

I will welcome new experiences.  

I will ask the Lord to bring new anointed relationships in my life.  

And if I choose to walk alone, the Lord will help me realize it’s better to be alone 

than to be in the wrong company.

Beginning today, I am responsible for my own happiness 

and I will do things that are pleasing unto the Lord 

and I know I will be happy; 

because my happiness is found in the Lord, 

and not in others and what they can do for me.

Beginning today, I will learn something new, I will try something different 

and I will savor all the various flavors life has to offer.  

I will change what the Lord allows me to change, 

and the rest I will let go and trust that GOD knows what is best for me.

Beginning today, and every day I will trust in the Lord 

and remember this is the day that the Lord has made.

I will rejoice and be glad; 

and realize GOD's mercy and grace have blessed me to see this new day.

Matthew 6:34 - Take therefore no thought for tomorrow: for the tomorrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

It's a New Year, a Time to Walk in Renewed Faith (1.2.14)

This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it
 - Psalm 118:24 

Happy New Year!!

You have made it through.  You overcame some obstacles that you thought were impossible.  Now leave the past behind you.  

Selah.  

Stop, breath, exhale.  

This is the year for GOD's people to rise up and claim what is rightfully theirs.  GOD says in His word to "forget the former things, neither consider the things of old".  He wants you to forget what they did to you.  It’s a new year, time to forget the former pain.

It’s time to forget all the slander of their cruel word. 

It’s time to forget every hurtful word you heard.

It’s time to forget the people who that brought tears to your eyes.

It’s time to forget about the ones who passed you by. 

It’s time to forget the hurt and pain you suffered in silence.

It’s time to forget those who walked away from your side. 

And it’s time to REMEMBER Jesus. 

Yes, remember Jesus, the One who for your sins, He died.

Therefore, beginning today, I will no longer worry about yesterday.  It is in the past and the past will never change. I refuse to live a life dwelling on what could have been, because in that space, I will miss the great things GOD has planned for me.

Beginning today, I will walk with renewed faith in the Lord.  Regardless of what has happened, I believe there is hope for a brighter and better future, because GOD has plans for me.  Plans that provide hope and a prosperous future.

Beginning today, I will no longer worry about tomorrow.  Tomorrow will always be there, waiting for me to make the most of it.  But I cannot make the most of tomorrow without first making the most of today.

Beginning today, I will look in the mirror and I will see a person worthy of my respect and admiration, because I was fearfully and wonderfully made by the Lord.  Therefore, I will I enjoy spending time with myself and appreciating who GOD created me to be.
