The Day is Dawning. Just Keep Standing & Be at Peace. (12.4.14)

My Child,

You waited and trusted in Me. 

You have stood with Me when others turned away. 

You held on to My promises when darkness was all around you. 

No matter the circumstances, you stood with Me. 

I AM bringing you out of your isolation, and calling you to walk forth as a mighty warrior in My Kingdom. I want those around you to see My glory in you. Yes, I hear what they are saying, “Where is your GOD?" They feel that I AM not moving in your life, let alone bringing you forth. Why do you worry about their words? Their words hold no weight in the Kingdom. 

My Word is the only Word 

that will bring change in your life. 

Just keep standing, and be at peace.

My child, I am moving, and they shall see that My word is true. They shall see that I have placed My anointing upon you. You shall step out of hiding, go forth and be a witness to those who are hurting and lost. You shall go forth so that all can see I Am that I Am. They shall see what I will do for those who love Me and will stand with Me. You have come too far, so please do not allow anyone to dissuade you from reaching your destiny. 

Keep standing with expectation in your heart. 

Open your arms to receive all that I have spoken and promised you. 

The day is dawning. 

Now, stand and be at peace, the morning is here.

Ephesians 6:10-13 - Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.  Put on the whole armour of GOD, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of GOD, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 

It Takes Nothing but God's Word to Move Your Problems Out of the Way (12.3.14)

My Child,

Sometimes the problems you face in life are like mountains in front of you. 

They seem so high and so wide, that climbing
or going around them seems impossible.

My child, you don’t have to face those problems alone, 

for that is why I am here. 

I will show you how to overcome the mountains in your life. 

And as you stand on My Word, and allow Me to work through you, 

you will realize it takes nothing but My Word to 

move your problems out of the way. 

As you speak to those problems, in My name,
they will be removed and cast into the sea. 

I have called you to be more than a conqueror. 

No longer should you claim to be a victim
of life’s difficult circumstances.

You are a victor, chosen to succeed and overcome in My power.

Speak My Word.  And watch those problems float away into the sea.

Micah 7:19 - He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.

Mark 11:23  - For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 

God is the Master Potter. Give Him all the Broken Parts of Your Life. (12.2.14)

Faith Belivers: In the natural, when you crack a vase, sometimes you feel that it has lost is use; however, because it is one of your favorite vases, you try to seal it with glue. You know that there will always be that crack in it, and therefore, that makes the vase weak. So, you apply more glue, hoping that this time it will hold together, and eventually you may have to throw the vase away. Such is not the case with the Lord, because GOD can always use a cracked pot.

My Child,

There are many areas in your life where you feel weak, or so damaged by the storms of life, that you begin to feel it will always be this way. You think you will never be whole again, or that things will never change. However, I see the desires of your heart and the struggles that no one else notices; and I am here to tell you that I can and will bring healing and restoration to your life.

I am the Master Potter. I will take what others want to throw away and mend the crack in a way that you will forget it ever existed. I will take the broken parts of your life, put My healing balm on them, and make you feel brand new. I created you, and nothing is too hard for Me. Put aside your impossibility thinking and start believing in the impossible again.  Start believing in Me.

Give Me all the broken parts of your life. 

Give Me your hurt, your pain and your struggles. 

And when you release everything to Me, 

I will take them and transform your life 

to bring glory to My kingdom. 

I will do what you feel cannot be done. 

I will restore what others told you to give up on and throw away.  Give Me all your broken dreams, all your hopes that were ripped apart by life's disappointments and watch as I make them, and you, into something beautiful.

Remember My child, I made you.  

I am the Master Potter.

I do not throw away cracked pots.

I Am the Lord your God, and I fix them.

Jeremiah 18:3-6 - Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it. Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel. 

Keep Your Hands on the Things God has Given You to Do, Continue to Pray & Press Your Way (12.1.14)

My Child,

There are people around you that think you should be worried. However, you know in your heart that things are going to work out. You do not know how, but deep within there is a peace that reminds you that I AM in complete control. Do not allow the voices of others to cast fear and doubt into your life.  Remember you must surrender your fears to Me. The moment you cast everything upon Me, I shall begin to do a new thing within your spirit. Therefore, don’t be moved by the words of others, they do not know and cannot see what I am doing in your life.

I can see that sometimes it is hard for you to be still and pray.  Especially when the people around you, and even your circumstances, say you should do something now. However, you made a promise to Me that you would step aside and allow Me to work. My Child, I AM still working, I never stopped working, in your life. Do not allow the words of others to cause you to believe that I am not faithful. Just as I am faithful to you, I want you to be faithful to Me. Keep your hands on the things I’ve given you to do, and continue to pray and press your way.

Saturate your life with My Word, for there is peace and strength in My Word.  Fill your heart and mind with My loving word, and they will remind you that I will supply your every need. No matter how strong the winds blow, no matter that the naysayers are saying you cannot make it, no matter that you don't have the funds to make it - I say, cast it all down and out, for you have a heavenly bank account in Me, and I will bring it forth in My timing. Do not forget, I do not move on their time, and neither does your life. You gave your life to Me.  I Am in control.  And My timing is always best.

Now, focus and continue to pray. Rest in My peace and do not allow the words of others to distract you. Because nothing, not even the words of others, can stop My Hand for you.

Philippians 4:6-7 (NLT) - Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell GOD what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience GOD's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. 

Faith Believers,

I pray the peace of Jesus
will flood your soul
and destroy any fears
holding you back,
so the vision He has given you
will come to pass.

Trust God with All Your Heart (11.29.14)

Faith Belivers,

There are times in our life when we go through trials and tribulations,
during these times we tend to forget all that the Lord has done for us,
and we focus on what our problems are.

Whatever you are going through, never forget to say thank you
to The One who brought you this far.
For our GOD is the very One, the only One, 

who can and will deliver you again.

GOD said to be thankful in all situations, good or bad,
because all things are working together for your good.

The Lord is the ultimate master planner over our lives
and He knows what is best for us.
He will reveal to you, in His own timing,
why you experienced the things you did.

GOD loves us, and would never hurt us.
He has promised never to leave us nor forsake us.

Trust GOD with all of your heart,
and He will surely keep you, as He has promised.

Seek God in a Place of Peace, Experience His Power & Receive the Answers You Need (11.28.14)

A Place of Peace
 

Beloved, 

I know I seem to be repeating myself to you, however you are asking Me the same things. If you would stand still for a moment, then you would sense My presence and hear My Words. You do not need to search for Me, or run to find My presence, you need only to remain still. I am right here and I am listening to your every word. I am the Prince of Peace, and it’s in this place of peace that you will find Me.

I know you are expecting Me to display a mighty rushing wind; however, I can show you so much more of My love when you are in a place of peace. I am all around you and I am waiting for you to become quiet before Me.  Be still in My presence, for in the stillness you will hear My still, small voice giving you divine directions. Stop fighting, stop trying to work things out in your own strength.

Do not allow this season to be the reason that you miss what I want to do in your life. I will give you what you need to overcome, and even quench the thirst that’s growing stronger in your heart. Yes, I will give you the ability, and the gifts, to serve Our Father. However, in order to receive, I want you to set aside some time and seek Me in a place of peace, so that I can bless you with what you need.

So come, get to know Me as the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ, Jehovah Jireh, the Protector of your soul; and you will experience the fullness of Who I Am. 

Rest in Me.

Begin by knowing that I am found in peace.
It is in this place of peace that you will experience My power
It is in this place of peace that you will receive the answers you need.

Philippians 4:7 - And the peace of GOD, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 

A Thanksgiving Prayer (11.27.14)

O Lord GOD, 

From whom comes every good and perfect gift,
we give You hearty thanks for Your love,
Your grace and the tender mercies you have showered upon us.

We praise you for everything, whether joyful or sorrow,
that brings us closer to You and to our brothers and sisters here on Earth.

You created us to give You glory.
Help us to manifest our love and thanksgiving
by treating one another with respect and kindness,
loving one another as you have taught us to do
and give us the passion to help those who struggle
to have the necessities of life.

We pray that as we celebrate this season,
we never forget all that has come from You.

Lord, thank you for having mercy on us and our families
by giving us travelling mercies as we visit loved ones.

Keep us safe as we travel and enjoy each others company.   

We give special thanks for the fruits of Your earth,
the delicious food we are about to eat
and especially for all the family and friends
gathered here to share in this day.

Oh Lord, bless us and keep us,
make your face to shine upon us
and give us grace, this day and forever more.

In the name of your precious son JESUS Christ!

Amen

Just be Thankful & You will See Changes take Place all Around You (11.25.14)

My Child,

You find yourself in a tight place, and the enemy is trying to convince you that your options are few, to none. Because of his nagging whispers, your mind is constantly focused on lack instead of abundance. Why are you allowing his words to determine your happiness? Don’t you know that the enemy is delighted that you are losing hope? Do not glorify him by repeating those words of lack, doubt and hopelessness. Do not allow the enemy to take anything else away from you. Hasn’t he already taken enough? 

My child, lift up your voice and confess the things you are thankful for, and the enemy will leave your presence.

I know during this season you may start to worry about what you don’t have; however, I want you to start being thankful for what you do have. If you cannot praise Me now for the small things I have done in your life, how will you be able to appreciate the greater things to come? I say be thankful. Yes, be thankful for the many things I have already blessed you with. What I have given you is only the beginning of things to come.  

However, I want you to be thankful now in the midst of what you are going through.

I have given you the authority and My Word to defeat the enemy.  Use them.  Do not allow the enemy to torment you anymore. Start now by being thankful for what you have. Start now by speaking forth My Words in your 'tight places,' and My Words will deliver you into a broader place. 

Just be thankful and you will see changes take place all around you.

Father,
I woke up.

I’m alive.

I’m healthy.  

I thank you. 

Forgive me for all my complaining.  

Lord I am ever so grateful.  

Thank you Father God,

In Your Son Jesus' name I pray,

Amen

Meditate on God's Word:

2 Samuel 22:20 - He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

Romans 4:17 - (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 - In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of GOD in Christ Jesus concerning you

Ephesians 6:11 - Put on the Full Armor of God Against the enemy (11.24.14)

Put on the full armor of GOD so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes - Ephesians 6:11

Faith Belivers,

The enemy of our GOD is our enemy as well. 

We are not in a neutral position. 

When Christians gather as the church, we become a real threat to satan. We are there to worship, to pray, to teach, to instruct and to encourage one another to live and proclaim the kingdom of GOD; and as such, proclaim the enemy’s defeat. It is apparent that he will do all he can to prevent that from happening.

The real danger for us is our being unaware of the enemy’s schemes. We approach every difficulty in church as though it is just a natural thing. When churches divide over whether or not to use hymns or contemporary choruses, that is not natural. When the pastor of the church turn out to be a wolf in sheep clothing, that is not natural. When the saints, called to live in love, spend their time criticizing and accusing one another, that is not natural. Beware of these schemes and understand when you see them.  The devil has come to church!

~ Let us Pray ~

Lord, I know how much You love Your Church.
Because of that great love, help us to wake up
and begin to understand the schemes of the enemy,
against Your people.
Give us insight into the spiritual attacks
against the churches we attend.
Show us how to pray in a way that sets the devil to flight,
and brings the overcoming power of Your victory into our congregations.
In Jesus' name,

Amen
