Meditate on God's Word & Not Your Problems (4.11.14)

Beloved,

Whatever problems you are facing right now, 

do not allow them to consume you.

I know you feel like you should know better by now, 

but I know that sometimes situations can change so fast, 

you may forget for just a moment that I am with you. 

Never doubt in times of trouble 

the things I’ve spoken to you in the light.

Always remember who is in control of everything. I AM. 

Do not worry about changes that may come. 

There will be many changes through the course of your life. 

However, I promised you good things, 

so do not focus on what you see with your natural eye, 

but believe only. 

Place your future in My hands and rejoice.

Knowing I have promised to bless those 

who are obedient to My Word. 

You are My joint heir with Jesus; 

therefore, do not allow these problems to cause you to forget that. 

Now meditate on My Word and not your problems.

Matthew 6:34 - Take therefore, no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.

Romans 8:17 - And if children, then heirs; heirs of GOD, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

Romans 12:21 - Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

Just Let God Lead the Way (4.9.14)

My Child,

Do not look to man to provide directions for your life. 

Heed My voice, and I will make your path straight. 

I understand the need for fellowship; it is what I encourage. 

However, when it comes to the right path to take, 

the steps of a righteous person will be ordered by the Lord. 

The way that I will lead you will be straight and narrow; 

and if you hearken unto My voice, 

you will have no problem following this path. 

Do not become hasty and try to make things happen 

when I don’t respond in your timing. 

Have faith and patience in Me 

to get you where I need you to be. 

When you allow Me to choose the path and lead the way; 

you can walk through that open door with courage and confidence, 

knowing that all is well. 

Just let Me lead the way.

I will bring to pass My perfect will in your life.

Stay in the Spirit and Let God Lead You (4.8.14)

My Child,

You have a very important matter before you. 

A breakthrough has occurred! 

But you must remember it is Me walking beside you 

and bringing all things together for your good. 

In your enthusiasm, do not become fleshy. 

Stay in the Spirit and inquire of Me before every decision and action. 

Let Me lead you. 

Do I have your permission now to be Lord over this breakthrough? 

If so, you can expect your dreams and vision of your destiny 

to materialize right before your eyes. 

Those dreams and visions you thought were dead, 

will now come alive again. 

Can you trust Me? 

You should trust Me because I have power over all situations.

There is nothing too hard for Me.

Signed,

God

For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? - Matthew 6:25 (NASB)

Believers,

Have a blessed day in the LORD,

Thank GOD for what you have, 

Trust GOD for what you need

No Matter What the Circumstances, Stand on God's Word. He Will Come Through (4.7.14)

Beloved,
You look at your own life and your circumstances; and feel as though I have forgotten or forsaken you. You dwell upon what you are going through and want to give up all hope for your future. I know things may look impossible for you; but I don’t see them that way.

Where is your faith in Me? 

You have more faith in men, than you do in Me. When will you start trusting Me with everything in your life? Why can’t you trust Me when things aren’t going the way you expected? It is important that you trust Me even when your circumstances seem to be moving in the opposite direction.

My directions may not make sense to you, for My ways are not the world's ways. However, I know what I am doing, and I know the timing of all things. I am the GOD of all power, and nothing is impossible for Me. I am a GOD of My word; and I will keep My word to you.  

Just stand in faith and believe Me. 

Have faith in Me and in My faithfulness, 
instead of your circumstances and men. 

Stand on My Word and watch Me come through for you.

Psalm 118:8 - It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man.

You Have Believed God for Your Blessings (4.5.14)

Beloveds,
When My prophet Abraham laid his son on the altar to be sacrificed, he trusted Me with his heart, mind, body, and soul. Today, I have provided you with a ram in the thicket. There will be a return of all that was stolen from you. Right now as we speak I have a blessing waiting for you. You have believed Me for this blessing, and now I will manifest it.

The things that you’ve freely let go of, I am returning to you many times over. The things that you’ve prayed about, and believed, have come to pass. Oh, you never knew how it would happen; you just kept the faith and believed that I would honor My Word.

Deliverance is here! You kept the faith, passed the test and relied solely upon Me to supply all your needs. I am flowing through your life right now as you read this message. Rise up and receive within your spirit what I am giving you. Just as it is in Heaven, it shall also be on Earth. This blessing is yours, claim it and nothing will ever take it away.

Meditate on My Word: 
Genesis 22:12-14

And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest GOD, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me. Then Abraham looked up and saw a ram caught by its horns in a thicket. So he took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering in place of his son. Abraham named the place Jehovah-Jireh (which means "the LORD will provide"). To this day, people still use that name as a proverb: "On the mountain of the LORD it will be provided."

Living by Example, Living in Love, Living Our Lives for Christ (4.4.14)

Be careful to live properly among your unbelieving neighbors. Then even if they accuse you of doing wrong, they will see your honorable behavior, and they will give honor to GOD - 1 Peter 2:12 

Have you ever said or did something that was not very nice and then remembered that you have a Bible sitting on your desk? Or that you always pass out Bible tracks to people you know? You start thinking, 'I had no excuse to be disrespectful to that person. How dare I be rude, almost literally, in Jesus Name?'

If so, you’re in good company.  The Apostle Paul wrote, “I don’t want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway" - Romans 7:19.

Only GOD’s saving grace, through Jesus Christ, allows us to be forgiven; and that grace helps us turn away from sin.  Paul goes on to advise, “Don’t embrace the behavior and customs of this world, but let GOD transform you into a new person” - Romans 12:2.  At one time or another, we all have reacted in a wordly way to situations in our lives, not following Jesus' example of self control.

Jesus told His followers, “You are the light of the world” - Matthew 5:14.  And so, “we must live orderly lives for all to see” - Romans 13:13. You never know when you are being observed by someone who may want to give their life to Christ. But if you are living for Jesus, you can be an example to those around you, even in places where it is unacceptable to talk about Him.

We should strive to live in such a way that non-believers will want the love we have.  Jesus said, “Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are My disciples” - John 13:35; and that “when you produce much fruit, then you are My true disciples” - John 15:8. The Apostle Paul explained that this “Spiritual Fruit” is made up of “love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control”- Galatians 5:22-23.  Living with these Godly qualities glorifies the Father, and can encourage non-believers to want to know more about the Lord.

You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bush. Instead they put it on a stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. - Matthew 5:14-16

Jesus calls us to attract people to Him and to the Father by the way we live. We want unbelievers to see how we live our life for Jesus, in a way that will encourage them to want to live for Christ also. We can attract unbelievers to Christ by example.  By the way we live our lives.

.

Does the way you live your life push people away from Jesus, or are you attracting people to Him?

You can start by asking the Lord to help you to identify all the areas in your life that might push your friends or neighbors away from Jesus. Ask GOD to reveal those things to you. Sometimes we don’t always recognize them right away. But if you ask Him, GOD will show you the areas in your life that are not glorifying Him.

- Prayer -
Lord, 
Please reveal to me, and then free me, from any sin in my life 
that is driving people away from You. 

Lead me to live a life full of the fruit of the Holy Spirit, 
instead of a life full of my sinful nature (Galatians 5:16-26). 

Mold me into someone who will attract unbelievers to You. 

In the Name of Jesus, 
Amen

Never Allow Anything to Interrupt Your Walk with God (4.3.14)

My Children,

The enemy is working hard to undermine the faith you have in Me with subtle distractions. You are stressing out about things you have no control over. Do not be afraid of the enemies attacks. Release your fears and the things that are worrying you into My hands. I am the only One who can turn your situation around and make things work out for your good. Me alone, not man!!!

Do not give into anything that has the potential to destroy your faith and confidence in Me. Stand strong and know beyond the shadow of a doubt that I am in control and I will direct your steps. I will provide all that you need to accomplish what I have placed before you. Never allow anything to interrupt your walk with Me.

When you need wisdom for the journey, ask of Me, and I will give you wisdom. Refuse to allow issues that have recently surfaced to have preeminence in your life. Remember, I am Jehovah Shammah, your forever present GOD. When you feel as though the world is closing in on you, come to Me and you will surely find rest. 

Have faith in the things I have promised you.

James 1:5 - If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of GOD, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

Psalms 91:5 - Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day

Psalm 27:1 - The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

A Warrior's Prayer of Thanks, Strength and Blessings (4.2.14)

Dear Heavenly Father,

I thank You for this day.

I thank You for my being able to awake once again, to see, and to hear this morning.

I'm blessed because You are a forgiving God and an understanding God.

You have done so much for me and You continue to bless me.

Please forgive me every day for anything I have done, 

said or thought that was not pleasing to You, 

and I ask now for Your forgiveness.

Please keep me safe from all danger and harm.

Help me to start this day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude.

Let me make the best of each and every day to clear my mind, so that I can hear from You.

Please broaden my mind that I can accept all things.

Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control over.

Let me continue to see sin through Your eyes and acknowledge it as evil.

And when I sin, let me repent, and confess with my mouth my wrongdoing, 

and receive Your forgiveness.

When this world closes in on me, let me remember the example of Jesus 

-- to slip away and find a quiet place to pray.

It is the best response when I'm pushed beyond my limits.

Continue to use me to do Your will.

Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others.

Keep me strong that I may help the weak.

Keep me uplifted that I may have words of encouragement for others.

I pray for those who are lost and can't find their way.

I pray for those who are misjudged and misunderstood.

I pray for those who don't know You intimately.

I pray for those who don't believe, 

and I thank you that You are in my heart and that I do believe 

and have true faith in You.

I believe that You change people and You can change all things.

I pray for all my sisters and brothers,
and for each and every family member in their households.

I pray for peace, love, and joy in their homes;
that they are out of debt and all their needs are met.

I pray that every eye that reads this knows that
there is no problem, circumstance, or situation greater than You.

Every battle is in Your hands for You to fight.

I pray that these words be received into the hearts of every eye that sees them and every mouth that confesses them willingly.

This is my prayer... 

and I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior,

Amen

Release All Anger & Bitterness; for We are Called to Forgive (4.1.14)

In the Lord's Prayer, we are reminded that we are called to forgive those who sin against us. Often we are willing to forgive others, but later satan reminds us of their wrongdoing. We think about it, judge it and pronounce in our hearts that we are "offended" and wronged.

We then become angry, bitter and yes . . . offensive. 

The enemy likes to trick us into being offended people. But the Lord Jesus came to set us free from that trap. If you are feeling trapped, pray and ask GOD to guide you in forgiveness. Reflect on, "Forgive and you will be forgiven." Luke 6:37, Hebrews 12:14-15, Proverbs 19:11

satan loves it when we keep score of other people's "sins".  he convinces us to keep a record of wrongs when we are offended, and to seek revenge on those who have hurt us. Jesus is just the opposite. His ways are always filled with love, mercy and grace. Pray for Jesus' supernatural power and love, to fill your heart and mind today. He longs to help you release others from the punishment you think they deserve. Ask for GOD's power in this.

PRAYER

Jesus, you know how deeply offended I have been with those who have hurt me. 

It's so hard when I think about how they have wronged me. 

I release my anger and bitterness toward them right now in your presence. 

You have set me free by taking away each and every sin in my life. 

Thank you Jesus. 

I pray for those who have caused me pain. 

Please bless them. 

Help them to see your love, mercy and grace. 

I need your Spirit to help guide me, 

as I seek to love and pray for those I continue to struggle with.

Help me, Jesus. 

Amen
