The Importance of God's Leadership & Prayer (1.12.15)

Faith Believers,

Moses understood the importance of prayer. 

He met with GOD in a tent outside the camp, where the multitudes dwelt. Before he returned to his daily responsibilities and tasks, he cried unto the Lord, “If Your presence does not go with us, do not lead us up from here - Exodus 33:15. Moses knew there would be difficulties, problems and trials along the way. 

Moses knew that he needed the leadership of GOD.

Jesus was not teaching the disciples that there would be no struggles for the man of prayer, in fact, He was teaching the opposite. He taught the disciples that they needed the leadership of GOD in the midst of their trials. Otherwise, they would fall into the snare of the devil. satan is cunning and he continuously sets traps for God's Children.  he does everything within his power to tempt and defeat us. 

A person of prayer, however, can rest assured of GOD’s protection.

Bless and be Blessed,

Marilyn

Faithful Father,
How often do I try to deal with the problems and difficulties in my life,
on my own, instead of inviting You into the midst of my circumstances.

Redeem my struggles, as I seek to allow You to lead me
through all of my trials and uncertainties,
as well as through any pitfalls or traps
set up against me by satan.

Through You I have the victory,
as I seek Your face and yield to Your leadership,
in every aspect of my life.

Thank You Father God,

that I am able to rest in full assurance 

that You are watching over me as I place
my reputation, abilities and even my safety
in Your capable hands.

In Your Son Jesus' Name we pray,

Amen

Your Destiny is About to Be Realized. Let Your Spirit Leap for Joy!! (1.11.15)

My Child,

I hear you asking Me to come and visit with you. 

I say to you, be watchful My child, 

for I am coming to visit you. 

My hope is that you will recognize Me from all others who pretend to come in My Name, because I will not visit you in the way you may expect. I will come to you through those I send, for I will be in them, and they will represent Me fully. 

It is important that you properly discern and entertain the angels that I send.

The angel whom I shall send will lead you from where you are, to the place that I am sending you to. Have faith, My child, have faith. You’ve been expecting and waiting; therefore, be ye ready.

Awaken your spirit to hear as the learned, for this angel has been sent by Me, and through this angel, you will be amazed at what is going to happen all around you. 

Your destiny is about to be realized. 

Oh, how your spirit will leap with joy. 

Lift your head up, look up, for your blessing is at hand. 

Live expectantly and be watchful, 

for I’m coming to visit you, 

and I will bless you with something you have believed Me for.

MEDITATE ON GOD'S WORD

Psalm 62:5 - My soul, wait thou only upon GOD; for my expectation is from him.

Luke 19:41-44 - When He approached Jerusalem, He saw the city and wept over it, saying, "If you had known in this day, even you, the things which make for peace! But now they have been hidden from your eyes. For the days will come upon you when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, and surround you and hem you in on every side, and they will level you to the ground and your children within you, and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation.

Hebrews 13:2 - Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained Angels unawares. 

It will All Work Out for Your Good. Fear Not & Just Trust God. (1.10.15)

My Child,

I see what’s before you; and I’m asking you to look beyond the discouragement that you face, and have faith. Do not fear what you see, and do not give into intimidation from the enemy. 

Continue to stand on My Word, 

believing that I will come through. 

If you can see it through the eyes of faith, you will know that it is only a temporary condition, and you can move past it. Then you would see, that I am in control of all that you see around you, and all of it will work for your good. 

Fear not and just trust Me.

When you allow fear to take control, you’re telling Me that you don’t have faith in the provisions that I have made for you. If only you could see and understand what lies before you from My perspective, you would not fear or worry. You would know that I am faithful and I will deliver you. 

Besides, does fear and worrying produce any good benefits for you? 

No, they do not. 

Therefore, don’t allow the enemy to intimidate you or cause you to fear anymore.

My child, why is it easier for you to believe that you won’t succeed, than it is for you to rest in knowing that your victory is assured? Aren’t you tired of the enemy telling you what you "cannot do?" Well then, open your mouth and let him know what you "can do" through Christ Jesus. Let him know that you are more than a conqueror, and that his weapons of fear and intimidation won’t prosper against you. 

Fear not, resist what he’s trying to do, 

and refuse to allow anything to stop you.

It is time to take control back from the enemy. 

You need this victory!

Take Some Time to Rest Your Mind, Get Your Spirit Settled & Remain Calm (1.9.15)

My Child,

You’ve become tired because of the stumbling blocks you keep running into. 

You've sought many approaches to be successful, but the frustration of not being able to overcome the stumbling blocks, is causing your heart to hurt. You’re a little weary of seeking which way to go and finding the place where you belong. Now you are wondering, 'what’s the use of trying? Is what I’m going through worth all of this?'

My child, your work is not in vain.  

And what you’re going through has a purpose. 

Why don’t you take some time to rest your mind? 

Get your spirit settled and remain calm. 

Be steadfast, and don’t be moved by what you see, because I have a place that is perfectly suited for you. Step back from what you’ve been doing and seek Me for new strategies.

As you seek Me, spend some time counting your many blessings, and you will see what I have already done in your life. Counting your blessings will remind you that My Word is true, and will help you to overcome those stumbling blocks in your way. Counting your blessings will also bring peace to your spirit and a calmness of mind. 

And when your mind is at peace, 

you will realize that what you’re going through is worth it, 

because you’re going through it for Me.

God is About to Open a Path in Your Life You've Never Walked Before. But Worry Not. (1.8.15)

My Child,
Expect me to bless you as you come into My Presence. 
Open your hearts and minds; and I will give you 
revelations and teach you the things I want you to know. 
I will enlighten your understanding as you yield to My Spirit. 
I am about to open a path in your life 
that you have not walked before, but do not worry, 
for I will enlighten you with understanding.

This new path will require you to re-adjust your schedule. 

You will start getting things done that you have been putting off, because you were waiting for a better time to complete these things. Ask Me what needs to be done first, then be obedient to My directions and follow through to completion. I know it may not be what you want to tackle first, but it is better that you get it done now, so it will not hinder your progress later. This next thing that I am opening up in your life require certain things to be in order.

A new day is dawning, so prepare yourself for the things I have planned. 

As I bring you into the next level of your walk with Me, revelations will begin to flow in your life unlike anything you have ever experienced. 

The eyes of your understanding will be enlightened and stored treasure will be revealed. 

Oh My Child, you must be ready, because you have not witnessed My moving in the way in which I am preparing to move in your life, so prepare yourself.

Do Not Allow Anything to Trouble You. Rest in Knowing, God has it All Under Control. (1.7.15)

My Child,
Do you not know by now that nothing can hide from Me, 

and that there are no situations that I cannot turn around? 

There is absolutely nothing that can hide from My gaze. 

So, why are you concerned about what others are doing behind closed doors to get ahead?  Do not worry about them, do not worry about what they are saying or doing. I see in the dark as clearly as if it were broad daylight. I know what they are doing, and that is all that matters. 

Please keep your eyes on Me. 

Do not allow the enemy to distract you 

or cause you to lose your focus. 

You know that’s what he is trying to do. 

Do not allow anything to trouble you.

Please, stay focused and leave those troubles to Me. Trust and believe that I am with you, and I am working on your behalf. Nothing they can do will harm you and nothing formed against you shall prosper. I want you to rest in faith. Trust in Me,  Allow Me to remove those troubles from your heart. 

Be at peace with everyone and allow your love for Me to show through your actions.

Now, do not be moved by what others are doing. 

Come away and be with Me, 

and rest in knowing that I have it all under control.

No Matter What You See, Feel or Believe - All is Well (1.6.15)

My Child,
Your silent cries have reached my ears.
I feel your pain. And I understand what you are going through.

I know you don’t feel it or even believe it,
but you will come through this season victorious.

Yes, it seems difficult, because it’s testing your faith; however, through this test I am teaching you how to overcome all circumstances. Come, let us sit down together, and I will dry the tears that I don't want anyone to see.

You must believe that I understand, and that all is well.
All is well.

Refuse to allow the enemy to take you back into old places of defeat,
for he will certainly do his best to re-establish himself again.
Have faith in Me.  Trust in Me.

I understand the enemy you’re facing, because I faced him first, I faced him for you. You see, I understand what you are going through. I understand what you are experiencing, because I experienced it too. Therefore, if you want to overcome, follow My example and persevere until you prevail. I defeated him.  And I have given you the authority to defeat him too.

It’s a new day. Isn’t it time you believe that I understand what you are going through? Isn’t it time you recognize that I’ve never left you?  That I've never turned away from you?

Isn’t it time you trusted Me to provide for your every need? Yes, it is time. Now, dry your eyes, release your pain, allow your love for Me to dissolve into blind faith and trust in My Word. I understand what you’re going through; I really do. Trust Me.

Lord, 
Help me through this period of unrest and difficulty. 
Remind me to call upon Your Holy Name 
when I become discouraged. 

Strengthen me Father when I become weak,

Your Word said that You will never 
leave me nor forsake me.

Help me to always believe that,
regardless of what I see with my eyes
or hear with my ears.

In Your Son Jesus' Name,
Amen

Step Out in Great Faith Quickly, Be Not Intimidated any Longer, Obey God's Voice & Do His Will (1.4.15)

Beloved, 

Take the time and be silent before me to gain a fresh perspective of where you have been and where you are now, before I lead you out to your next point of destiny. It is important that you listen to My voice and believe what I am saying. Do not look back on your past and think of it as a place of defeat but look at it as a place of growth and victory. 

You were tried in the fire, you have come through a lot and you are much stronger; because of the trials and tribulations you have been through. This strength will serve you well in upcoming challenges; and the wisdom you have gained will strengthen your confidence to overcome. Now is the time to step forward, in great faith, to do what I am calling you to do. 

Listen to My voice and 

do not allow your mind to doubt me, 

but continue to listen to My voice, 

as I lead you.

Listen to My voice.  Keep your eyes fixed, your heart focused and trust Me - as you step out. Do not look to the right nor to the left; and do not be moved by what the enemy wants to distract you with.  Just follow the Voice of the One who has all power, and you will see that suddenly doors will open up before you. 

These doors will be doors 

that I have prepared for you. 

It is important that you 

quickly step out in faith and obey My voice.

Do not be intimidated any longer. 

I have given you the wisdom you need
to overcome the enemy and his tricks. 

Just keep listening to My voice, 

know that My grace is saturating your life 

and you will not fail. 

I am leading and guiding you into greater things, 

things that you’ve prayed and asked Me for, 

so be obedient when You hear My voice.

Say “Yes Lord” and step out in faith.

As You Climb the Mountain that is Ahead, Praise God (1.2.15)

My Child,

There’s a new mountain coming before you, and although it might come with new challenges, it also comes with new potential and the possibility for greatness.  So as you experience pressure or change in your life, instead of becoming discouraged, I want you to praise Me!

Praise Me for the things that lie ahead because they are taking you to higher ground. I know that climbing a mountain can be difficult, but the reward at the end will be worth all of the effort.  So don’t worry about the climb, keep your eyes on the end result and look forward to the good things that will happen because of overcoming this mountain.

So often it is easy to look at the mountains and only see the obstacle, 

but I am telling you to look past that, this day.  

Instead of seeing an impossible or difficult situation, 

see the potential in the situation that will cause you to rise up, in My name.

For I desire you to be a success in all you do.  

I desire for you to succeed at work and in your relationships.  

I desire for you to become efficient and to become a person of value.  

The only way you will become all of these things is through positive change.
And so as you have reached out to Me and asked Me for change,
I have responded by allowing a new mountain
to come into your life to bring about this change.

So rejoice, for I am answering your prayers in a miraculous way.

Praise Me and climb the mountain ahead,
for I will be your strength when you are weak. 

Praise Me and climb this mountain,
for I will always be there to lift you up,
and very soon you will see that
all you went through was worth the climb.

Give Your Life to God this New Year & Experience His Peace and Love (1.1.15)

Faith Believers,

The Lord has allowed you to see another year!! 

What an awesome GOD we serve.

He did not have to bless us the way He did at 12:00 on 1 January 2015, by allowing us to see another year but He did!! That's why we should always praise His Holy name, not only on New Years, but everyday of the year. 

He is the reason why we wake up every morning. 

He is the reason why we have a roof over our heads and food to eat. 

Jesus Christ loves us and wants nothing but the best for His children. 

He asks that we are obedient to His Word at all times; and when we are not obedient, that we will ask for His forgiveness.  Make this year the year to develop a strong relationship with GOD, by praising and serving the Lord everyday. Get down on your knees and thank Him each morning for His goodness, mercy and the blessings He has bestowed upon you and your loved ones. 

Our Father has many more blessings He wants to bestow upon you. This year, give Him the chance to show you how much He loves you!!!! If you have not already done so, give your life to Him this New Year and experience the peace and love that only Jehovah can give. 

Happy New Year and may GOD bless you richly and keep you and yours in 2015.
