Daily Communication with God, through Prayer (3.9.15)

Faith Believers,
Followers of Jesus Christ know, that prayer is the best way to communicate with GOD. Prayer is the vehicle for daily dialog with the One who created us. The importance of daily communication through prayer cannot be overestimated. It is so important, that it is mentioned over 250 times in Scripture.

So why is daily prayer so important?

First, daily prayer gives us an opportunity to share all aspects of our lives with GOD.
Second, daily prayer gives us the chance to express our gratitude for the things He provides.
Third, daily prayer provides the platform for confessing our sin and asking for help in overcoming that sin.
Fourth, daily prayer is an act of worship and obedience.
And finally, daily prayer is a way to acknowledge who is really in control of our lives.

Let's take a look at each of these important reasons in a little more detail.

Life's circumstances change on a daily basis. In fact, things can go from good to bad to worse in a very short time. GOD calls us to bring our concerns to Him for disposition and potential blessing. He also calls us to share our joys and triumphs with Him. In fact, Jeremiah 33:3 states, "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know."

GOD wants us to call on Him so that He can answer our prayers. He also wants to share with us incredible blessings, that we might otherwise have missed, had we not reached out to Him through prayer. And finally, James 4:8 tells us to "draw near to GOD, and he will draw near to you."

GOD wants us to be close to Him at all times.

Thank GOD for what you have,
Trust GOD for what you need.

Be Patient & Let God Show You What a Loving Father Will Do for His Children (3.8.15)

Beloved,

You are in the world, but you are not of this world.
You are My Child and you are in My care.
I want you to put your trust in Me,
for I am well able to supply everything that you need.

I am your loving heavenly Father and I delight in taking good care of you.  You believe this to be true, but at the same time, you have difficulty believing this because you are confusing My care with My discipline. It is easy to assume that if you do not live up to every one of My expectations, or if you are not perfect, that I will punish you by withholding what you need.

I have been with you all this time and yet, sometimes you act as though you don’t know Me. I am not a man who would lie. My promises to you are "Yes and Amen."  I cannot, and will not, go back on My Word.  I understand that all of My children may occasionally fall short of My Glory, but you should know by now that I am a GOD who forgives. No good thing will I withhold from you.  My care and provision for you are not based on your performance, but on our love-relationship. I would never turn away from you, My Child; for it’s My desire to give you the Kingdom.

Yes, I will discipline you, but I would never withhold anything you need because of a "mistake" you may have made. Have you forgotten the time I blessed you, when you knew within your heart that you were wrong?  You were disciplined because I love you, but still you received a blessing beyond for what you asked. That’s the type of Father whom you serve.

Therefore, do not fret nor be alarmed by the things you see happening in this world.

Instead, have faith in My Love for you, to provide your needs,
regardless of what is happening around you.
Trust that "I am Who I say I am."
I am your loving Father,
and I understand what you need and when you need it.

Now, remember there is a difference between My care and My discipline.
Be patient and let Me show you what a loving Father does for His children.
 

MEDITATE ON HIS WORD:

Numbers 23:19 - GOD is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? 
 
John 14:9 - Jesus replied, "Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and yet you still don't know who I
am?
 
Luke 12:32 - Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
 
Romans 3:23 - For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of GOD; 
 
2 Corinthians 1:20 - For all the promises of GOD in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of GOD by us. 
 
Hebrews 12:6 - For the LORD disciplines those he loves, and he punishes each one he accepts as his child.

An Encouragement, Strength & Wisdom Prayer (3.6.15)

Heavenly Father,

I ask you this morning to give me the heart
to encourage others by what I say and do today.

GOD, You are the Father of all people. 
Never let me look down on others or make anyone feel inferior.

Lord, show me how to live today with genuine concern for others.
In expressing my care, may I show people that they are
valued, loved and appreciated for who they are.

Father GOD, send the Holy Spirit to live within me today,
to give me peace and calm as I work amongst co-workers
who are not saved and may be letting the enemy use them.

Lord, give me the strength to pray for them,
even as they attack me with their evil deeds.
Your Word said that we must pray for those who the enemy is using,
because they know not what they are doing.
I know You love them Father, just as much as You love me,
regardless of what they do. 
So help me to see them, as You see them;
and to love them, as You love them.

Give me the wisdom to share the word of GOD with them today,
with a loving heart, as I speak blessings over their life. 
In spite of their deeds towards me, that are not of You.

Father, thank You for being there for me and
for keeping me under the shadow of your Wings.

Amen

God Sees Our Victory (3.5.15)

My Child,

I saw your victory last night, when you refused to close your tired eyes;
until you knelt down on weary knees, to give Me thanks.

I saw your victory this morning, when you struggled out of bed;
to have just a few moments with Me in prayer.

I saw your victory, when you forgave that person;
who was cruel to you without just cause.

I saw your victory when you asked Me for the strength, to do the right thing;
when your employer treated you unfairly.

I saw your victory, when you yielded to Me, resisted temptation and remembered;
that your body is a dwelling place for the Holy Spirit.

I saw your victory when you gave Me praise;
when everything around you was falling apart.

And I saw your victory, when those around you didn’t understand, what I was doing in your life; and walked away. You could have walked away too, but you chose to stand firm in your faith; and follow Me.

I saw your victory, because deep within your heart, you know who I am.
I am your victory.  And every time you choose Me, you choose victory. 

So, if I can see your victory, then why can’t you? 
Start today, and claim victory over the enemy.
Then, and only then, you too will see what I see…
Victory.

God's Word Covers Every Situation, Every Temptation and Every Problem (3.4.15)

My Child,

No matter what you are going through, you are never beyond My reach. Do not allow the enemy to draw you away from Me. his plan is to make you become overwhelmed and weary with your problems to discourage you,  but I am always near to you. I will keep My Hand upon you to strengthen you, lead you and guide you. Is anything too hard for Me? No! I have the power to change any problem that you have into victory over the schemes of satan.

Do not look at the problems with your natural eyes; and do not be overcome by your inability to resolve them.  Leave that to Me. When you continue to look at things in the natural, you become overwhelmed; and you forget that My Word covers every situation, every temptation and every problem. 

I have all power My Child!!

My hand is not shortened that it cannot reach you.
Turn your problems over to me.

My Child, I know how hard it is to keep your eyes focused on Me during troubled times. Yes, I do know it is hard, but you must trust Me to deliver you. I have you in My hand, and I am carrying you even when you cannot feel that I am. 

Hold on to Me in Faith,
knowing your problems are not problems to Me.

Meditate on God's Word: 1 Peter 4:12 ; Jeremiah 32:27 ; Isaiah 59:1

  ~  My Prayer Confession  ~
Precious Savior, 

I am so grateful that my problems
are not problems to You.

And I am ever so grateful
that I can cast my cares upon You
when my burdens become
too much for me to carry.

I know I must walk this journey
by faith and not by sight.

What an awesome GOD you are Father.

Amen 

Trust God to Guide Your Steps & Make Your Way Perfect (3.3.15)

My Child,

I know you are tired of trying to keep your head above water and I know you feel like giving up.  The waves created by the storms of life have overwhelmed you.  However, I say to you, please do not give up hope because I am going to deliver you.  Child of Mine, have you forgotten that I am the GOD of restoration? I think you have or you wouldn’t be feeling as though you can't go on. Refuse to allow the enemy to make you feel like a failure, for I am with you.  I see what you have to endure, and if you don’t give up, I will bring you through these times of adversity triumphantly.

Do you think that you have disqualified yourself from My blessings and purposes for your life? I want you to stop feeling as though you have failed.  The enemy will try to convince you that you have messed things up, you are not adequate and there is no hope.  But he is a liar and the father of all lies, do not listen to him. Trust that I can restore all things the enemy has stolen from you. Let the power of My Spirit draw you out of this place of desolation into life and restoration.

When there seems to be no way, trust Me to guide your steps and make your way perfect.  I will make a way and lead you out by My hand.  I am able to restore all the things in your life that I have promised; just trust in Me, and put your hope and faith in Me. I am with you to bring you through these trials to victory. I will give you My mercy and grace to bring you through this storm.  Stay faithful to Me, do not be afraid, and know that I am your very present help in times of trouble.

Meditate on His Word:
 

Psalm 46:1 - GOD is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.

Psalm 55:22 - Cast your burden on the LORD, and He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved
Psalms 121:1-2 - A Song of degrees. I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. 
2 Corinthians 12:9 - And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Faith Works Best when You have Complete Trust in God (3.2.15)

My Child,

Do not accept, nor allow, anything that is not of Me, into your mind. 

If it doesn’t bless you, it is not from me. 

When thoughts linger in your mind that are not of Me, they will cause you grief and restlessness.  Therefore, do not allow doubt and unbelief to control your thoughts; for they will hinder you from achieving victory over the enemy. You must take your thoughts captive and turn them into the blessings I have promised you.

When you trust in My Word, all doubt and unbelief will flee from you.  Think about those things that will bless you and bring glory to My name. Do not give place to the enemy in any area of your life. If doubt has a place in your life, faith cannot operate. Meditate on My Word, thus leaving little room for doubt and unbelief to manifest. 

Faith works best when you have complete trust in Me. 

Guard your mind. Declare and decree that you will trust Me,
even when your back is against the wall.

I will keep you in perfect peace if you will just keep your mind on me and the things I have promised you. I do not lie, I cannot lie, nor can I fail. Each night before you go to bed, come to the altar and leave all of your cares there; and I will surely give you peace. 

I will fight your battles for you. 

Meditate on My Word as you fall asleep, 

and I assure you, your sleep will be peaceful and sweet.

Then when you arise,
know that the enemy of your soul has been defeated.

You will always have victory in Jesus!

MEDITATE ON HIS WORD

2 Corinthians 10:5 - Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

Watch & Pray, My Child. Watch & Pray. (3.1.15)

My Child,

The enemy is at work to undermine your faith, and the strength of your position, through subtle distractions.  he is slowly attacking your prayer life, and next, he will cause your faith to dwindle. You must pay attention or you will fall into his trap, allowing other things to get in the way of spending time with Me.  Set watch; and do not give in to anything that has the potential to destroy your faith, hope or confidence.

Remember, your strength and faith come from being
in My presence and hearing My Word. 
My Child, watch and pray. 

I know you feel there’s so much you need to do, however you will not be able to accomplish anything, unless you spend time with Me and allow Me to minister to your spirit.  Unless you spend time in My presence, and allow Me to pour My refreshing oil upon you, how will you be able to help others?

Think back to the times when you prospered the most.
Wasn't it during those times that you read and meditated on My Word?
Wasn't it during those times that you were obedient and prayed,
as My Spirit led you to pray?

I say to you, watch and pray.

My Child, watch and pray; and I will pour out My Spirit into you.
Doing this blessed you before, and it will bless you now.
Go back, return to thy first works and your strength and faith will return.

Return to thy first works, your lack will cease and
you will prosper in all you do. 

My Child, watch and pray.
I say, watch and pray.
