You are an Overcomer, Ordained for Victory. You Must Continue to Fight! (6.19.15)

My Child,
I do not change.
I Am the Lord Your God.
I Am faithful.
And as I promised, it shall be.

However, did you expect your blessings to be handed to you on a silver platter? You believed in your spirit that you were close to your blessing. You felt it so strong, you could almost reach out and touch it.  So, why did you stop fighting when the battle became intense? Why did you cease claiming the victory? Who told you that you could not win this battle? You must continue to fight.  Go in and possess the land I have promised to you. I led the children of Israel to the promised land, but they had to go in and possess it first, and so must you.

Do not allow the size of the battle to make you believe you can’t possess your promises. You are ordained for victory; therefore do not back down from this battle. There is a great victory waiting for you, but you must press on to obtain it. You can possess all the promises that I made to you, but it will not come cheaply, for I will involve you in the process of obtaining them.  

Yes, I may require you to fight to possess your promises. You cannot just sit back and expect it to fall into your lap. You cannot be a bystander.  You must rise up, believe in My Word and rebuke the enemy.  However, do not become disheartened and do not despair, for I will fight with you.

I will give you the victory each time.
Remember - Faith, without works, is dead.

The promise land belonged to Israel, but they had to fight to possess it. I could have sent an angel to destroy the inhabitants of the land, and allowed the children of Israel to merely walk in and possess it. However, I wanted them to be involved in the process of taking their land. I wanted them to understand, and appreciate the value of their inheritance. I wanted them to understand the cost of their victory and not take it for granted.  My child, this same rule applies to you.

You are an overcomer.

I have put My Spirit within you, to help you and to strengthen you. I will not turn My back on you, nor are My ears  deaf to your cries. I will bless you and give you the desires of your heart. However, I want you to understand that this type of victory comes only through battle.

You must fight the good fight of faith to possess your promised blessings.

Now, I have prepared a table for you in the presence of your enemies, but you must go and possess the table.  The enemy will do all he can to stop you from partaking of the table, because he knows this table will fill you up to overflowing with My power. The table is prepared, and your promised blessings are upon it; but you must possess the table.  Be not slothful about it, because the enemy is watching your table, and he too want to possess it.

This is the time to fight for the promises
that I have made to you.

So go in, My Child, and possess the land.

God is Calling Us to a Place of Total Trust in Him (6.17.15)

My Child,

I am calling you to a place of total trust. 

I want you to rely solely on Me.  

Do not worry about the future, 

for you are in My Hands. 

Remember that I alone hold your life and I am forever faithful. As I have always proven Myself faithful to you in days past, so will I always prove Myself faithful to you in the days ahead. Therefore, keep your eyes on Me and look to Me alone.

I want you to keep looking to Me and trusting Me in all things. 

Trust Me when things are good; and trust Me in the midst of difficulties and trials. Remember, that I know all things; and I am asking you to simply trust Me as your Heavenly Father. 

If I provide for even the sparrow, 

how much more shall I provide for you?

Yes, you will still go through hard times, but I am the author and finisher of your faith; and I will take care of you. My child, I am not calling you to walk in a place of fear. 

I am calling you to a place of victory through total trust in Me. 

Rely solely and completely on Me.

Draw close to Me, and you will experience My faithfulness at work in your life; and I will cause your faith to grow. 

Abide in My presence.  

Draw closer to Me as you walk daily, with Me. 

Get to know Who I really am, 

and you will know that there is no need for fear.

MEDITATE ON HIS WORD: 

Proverbs 3:5-6 - Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Psalm 56:3 - When  I am afraid, I will trust in thee. 

Learning to Let Go when God says "No" (6.16.15)

Faith Believers,
How often are we unwilling to let go of something when
our Heavenly Father has said “No” to our desire or prayer?
Sometimes we grieve over it and don’t move on.
We say, but GOD, if only …..........

However, in my faith walk, I have learned that I must accept what GOD is doing in my life today; and trust that He does, in fact, know best. I know that He is at work in my life, and as Romans 8:28 reminds me, “GOD causes all things to work together for good to those who love GOD, to those who are called according to His purpose.”

Do you need to let go, accept GOD’s voice in your life
and thank Him for what He is doing right now?
Know that Your Heavenly Father loves you
and has only your best interests in mind.

He wants to be at work in your life, always.

        - Marilyn

 ~ An Acceptance Prayer ~
Heavenly Father, 
May I be quick to hear Your voice and 
recognize when You are saying “No.”
Help me to accept everything as being from Your Hand, 
and be thankful for all that You have allowed in my life, 
in order to mold me and make me more like Your Son, Jesus. 
Amen.

Reflection:

What circumstance or unmet desire has been difficult for you to accept?
To show that you trust and believe that GOD’s plans for youare both
loving and the best, surrender this situation or disappointment today to Him.
Tell GOD exactly how you feel.

Then thank Him for His good and perfect plan for your life.

God Has a Plan for You. Trust Him & Speak His Word over Your Situation (6.15.15)

My Child,
You are very important to My plans and purposes, and your complete surrender
has enabled Me to do more through you than you can think or imagine.

As a result, this, My child, has made you a target for the enemy.   However, I say to you; no matter what he throws at you, do not worry and do not fear his attacks.

I am greater than your enemy.
I am stronger, and I have all power.
I am greater than anything you will ever face,
and I have a plan for you.

My plan is that you overcome your fears and weakness, by My strength.

In Me, you will find all that you need. I am the answer to all your questions. I am the Father who loves you, and watches over you. And I am the One, who has given you the authority to destroy the works of the enemy. Therefore, I say to you don’t be fearful and weak. I am with you; lean and depend upon My strength. 

Trust Me and speak My Word over your situation.

Despite the doubts and fears that linger in your mind, I am with you; watching over you to give you hope in a hopeless world. Knowing that I am with you, I want you to rise up and shake off those fears, then boldly speak forth My Word. Stop allowing the enemy to make you feel small and helpless. You are a child of the King and you are mighty in Me.  You are more than a conqueror, for greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world.

Trust in every word I have spoken.
I am faithful.
I will do what I said I would do.
Do not be fearful.  Look to Me.
For I will deliver.

I alone will save.

True Faith (6.14.15)

Children,
True Faith in Me is the cure for all of those attacks coming from the enemy.  
True Faith in Me is your shield against the attacks of the enemy,
coming against your mind and your family.

When the enemy tries to whispers tormenting words into your ear,  
True Faith in Me will drown out his lies.

When it appears that your circumstances are hopeless, 
True Faith in Me will reveal to you things are not what they seem.  

True Faith will tell you I am doing the miraculous in the spirit realm,
and what you see is temporary.

True Faith will tell you I have already given you victory over the enemy.
True Faith will tell you the weapons of warfare will pull down the stronghold of the enemy.

Rise up with the sword of the spirit in True Faith,
and use the authority I have given to you.
You have the power, speak with True Faith to subdue all your enemies.
There is no mountain that will not move at the sound of My Name.

Stand in True Faith and take back what the enemy has stolen from you.

You will have victory over the enemy, as long as you keep
your Faith in Me, Stand on My Word and Stand in True Faith!

Do You Need the Peace of GOD Today? (6.13.15)

So not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to GOD. And the peace of GOD, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus - Philippians 4:6-7

Faith Believers,
When we can pray in the midst of any circumstance, and have a heart of thanksgiving and praise, in the midst of those circumstances, something unusual and supernatural happens.

A sense of peace will come from outside ourselves and will provide what we need to walk through the difficult situation.

It is literally the peace of GOD.

What does it do? It guards our hearts and minds to keep remembering the truth of GOD’s faithfulness, provision and love; so that we do not believe the lies satan wants to plant in us. Praying and praising takes us above our circumstances.

Do you need peace today? Ask GOD for peace. Praise GOD for His attributes, such as His faithfulness and His promise to never leave us alone when we are faced with difficult situations.

Thank God for what you have,
Trust God for what you need.
- Marilyn

Father GOD,
I thank You that You promised Your peace to us,
a peace that is way beyond anything
I can muster up on my own.

I thank You and praise You for Your goodness
and Your faithfulness to me.

Today I claim, right now, that peace You promised in Your Word,
the peace that transcends knowledge and understanding. 

Bless You, Father!!

For You are worthy to be praised!

Amen!

Arise & Shine. God's Glory is upon You. Let Him be Your Strength. (6.12.15)

My Child,

Rest your head, and let your heart be at peace. 

I have a plan, and I won't let you fall. 

When everything in you tells you to run away, then run to Me. 

I will not let the storm steal you from Me. Listen to Me and let these words not only sink deep, but also let them speak new life to you. Arise and shine, for My Glory is upon you. You don't have to hide anymore, let Me fight for you. 

Give the battle to Me.  Let Me be your strength.

My child, I know all things. I know you from the inside out. I know when your strength fails you.  I know when you struggle to breathe, feeling like the world is closing in around you and there's no way out. I know you've tried to be strong, and you hid your pain from the outside world, but I also know that you're tired. 

Please let Me be your strength. I am with you. 

Be filled with all of Me, focus on Me
and I will bring My promises to pass. 

Just let Me be your strength.

I will not leave you desperate and comfortless. I am watching over My Word to perform it. I haven’t forgotten you. 

I am ripping out the weeds that have cluttered your life,

and left you feeling hopeless and tired. 

I’m moving out the old to bring a new refreshing into your life. Let Me be your strength. Let Me refresh you. Give it all to Me.  Come to Me and let Me be your strength.  Just come.  

Come as you are, tired and weary.

And let Me be your high tower.

MEDITATE ON HIS WORD:

On Your Knees, in Prayer, is where the Battle will be Won & You Will be Set Free (6.11.15)

My Child,

The enemy sought to dishearten you and bring you to your knees. 

However, what he didn’t realize is that he pushed you
right where I wanted you to be. 

his attempts to destroy you have brought you closer to Me. 

his desire is to see you mourn and grieve over what happened,
has caused you to seek My Face like never before.  

Yes, you are on your knees, and you are in the right place for deliverance.  

You are in the right place for a breakthrough.  

So, stay right there on your knees

Stay before Me and empty yourself of everything that weighs heavy on your heart. Stay on your knees until you receive your breakthrough. Do not allow the enemy to cause you to faint about what you are going through.  Stay right there on your knees and strengthen yourself in Me. Faint not about this trial, which has brought you closer Me, but count it all joy, because you are right where I need to you be.  In My presence.

Rejoice, I say rejoice, at what the enemy has done.  

he never expected this trial to bless you. 

he never thought you would survive. 

However, when he pushed you that last time, he drove you right into My presence and onto your knees; that is where I wanted you to be.  Rejoice, My child, because on your knees is where the battle will be won.

So, stay right there My child.

Stay right there on your knees, 

because that is right where I wanted you to be.

And there is where you will be set free.

MEDITATE ON HIS WORD:

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. 

God's Infinite Compassion, Grace & Love for Us (6.10.15)

“As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him.”Psalm 103:13

Faith Believers,

Are you afraid to get close to other people, or are you afraid of failure? 

You might live in trepidation of someday dying alone. 

Or the minute anyone says the words “public speaking,” 

your heart starts beating really fast.

We all have things that we dread, things that make us feel like lying down, pulling the covers over our heads and never coming up for air. When I find myself being anxious, I take great solace in Psalm 103. What a beautiful picture of the Father’s heart for His children! When I’m afraid of something, I go to GOD in prayer, asking the Father to look over me and address the problem that is causing me to be afraid. 

GOD has calmed my spirit each time.

For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His love for those who fear Him - Psalm 103:6-12

Also, the Lord will fight for us when we are mistreated. He has compassion for us, and loves us beyond measure. If you are under attack by the enemy and his helpers, trust in the Lord our GOD to fight the battle for you. He will never disappoint you and He has promised to bring those who rejoice in doing evil, to their knees. 

Pray for your enemies and know that the Lord has your back 

because of the great love He has for His children. 

He will fight for you.

Dear GOD,

Thank You Father for Your heart,
infinite compassion, grace, and love for us.

We are so grateful that You protect and provide for us.
Forgive us when we are consumed by our fears.
Help us to put our trust and faith in You, and You alone. 

Amen
