Do not Entertain the Foolishness of the enemy. Keep Your Eyes Firmly Fixed Upon God. (6.30.15)

My Child,

When you choose to follow me, be not surprised when the enemy tries to tempt you. 

If the temptation doesn’t work, he will try to distract you, and confuse you, with his lies.  Do not be deceived by his lies, and rebuke anything that does not stand on My Word.  You know who I Am. I Am the One - who sends the rain in the dry season. I Am the One - who will give you strength, when you are weak. I Am the One - who will give you a way out, when you are tempted.

I Am your healer and deliverer. 
I will restore all that the enemy has stolen. 
I Am the One - who will provide all your needs.
You know who I Am.

Do not entertain what the enemy is trying to do, that will only cause you anxiety and despair. Instead, keep your eyes fixed firmly upon Me, your Help and your Deliverer.  You know My Promises, and they are Yes and Amen.  You know that I Am the One - who allows the sun to rise, and the sun to set. I Am the One - who will be with you until the end.

I Am that I Am,
and I Am more than able to take care of you.

Therefore, the next time the enemy comes against you, or the next time trials and hardships come your way, look to Me, the great I Am.  Look to Me, and expect Me to demonstrate My faithfulness to you, in the midst of that situation.  I cannot change. It is impossible for Me to become unfaithful to you.  It is impossible for Me to forsake you.

I have promised that My Word won’t return void, and it must be.

So, do not worry about what the enemy is trying to do,
his weapons will not prosper against you.
For greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world. 
Know that I am the great I Am and there is no other.
I hold all power in My Hands!!!!

Build a God-Strong Foundation, that Will Not Be Shaken by the Cares of this World (6.28.15)

My Child, 

Whenever you’re feeling depressed or discouraged; whenever you’re feeling hopeless or filled with despair; do not give up and lie down in defeat. Lift your head up and recognize that you have been listening to the lies of the enemy. Do not let his lies, be the bricks that you use, to build your house with.

Loose yourself from anything that he’s been trying to give you
and choose to use My Word to build a house
that will not be shaken.

What you choose to believe,
is what you will use to build your life with,
and if you don’t choose to use My Words to build your house,
the foundation on which your house is built will not last.

You have a choice to make.
You can either build your house with the solid rock of My Word,
or allow the enemy to feed your spirit lies,
that will cause your house to crumble and fall.

This day, take charge and dispose of every lie the enemy has told you.

Loose yourself from every accusation of the enemy, and believe his lies no more.
Then bind yourself to the working and the ministry of the Holy Spirit.

Listen to My still small Voice,
and replace every lie he gave you
with the Truth of My Word.

Saturate your life, your mind, your spirit with My Words,
and believe what My Word says about you.

When you choose to believe My Word,
your house will not only become wiser and stronger;
but it will also become a foundation that cannot be shaken
by the cares of this world.

MEDITATE ON HIS WORD: 

Psalm 127:1 - A Song of degrees for Solomon. Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

Matthew 7:24-25 - Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
 
John 8:44 - Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 

Step Out in Faith (6.27.15)

My Child,
I am calling on you to exercise faith,
beyond the limits of your comfort zone.

I am calling on you to have great faith, supernatural faith.

If you really believe My Word is true, then step out of the boat.
Step out in faith, step out on My Word and do not allow anything
to hinder you from reaching your goal.

It is My desire for you to be able to stand on the Word
I have given you, and to know that I will
keep My promises.
I am the Lord your God.  I am faithful.

I have tolerated weak faith in My children,
but now is the time to take a stand for My purposes.

Now is the time to make Me known in your life, and the only way
to do that is, to step out in faith and conquer your fears.

I want you to never doubt Me.
You keep asking Me to move in your life,
however, it’s I who have been waiting for you to move.

When you walk in faith, I will make things happen in your life - to the point that you will not doubt my presence. I will cause changes to occur, but first you must move in faith.  Take one step, that’s all I ask..... And if you stumble, My Outstretched Arms will catch you.

However, you will never know what will happen,
if you do not move.

And do not waste any more time worrying about what others are saying or have said.  Yes, I know they are talking behind your back. They are behind you for a reason so, let them stay there, while you keep your eyes on the desires of your heart.

I have already canceled the power of their words by the Power of My Spirit.  
Their words have no weight in your life,
therefore Step Out in Faith - and do not entertain them.

You waited for Me.
Now I am waiting for you.

I am calling you, My Child.
To step out in faith.
Do not look back.

MEDITATE ON HIS WORD:

2 Corinthians 5:7 - For we walk by faith, not by sight:

James 2:20 - But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

James 2:26 - For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. 

Through Love, Faith, Obedience & Trust in God - You will Stand Firm (6.25.15)

My Child,

Stand firm Beloved, and do not waver in your Faith. 

Have I not said that the one who wavers is like a wave of the sea, driven with the wind and tossed to and fro? Therefore, show Me that you trust Me and want to please Me, by having Faith in My Word. It is My heart's desire that you stand firm in Faith, and do not be moved by the things that are happening around you.

You ask, “How is it that I waver?"  

You waver when you do not Trust in Me. 

You waver when you do not Believe that My Plans for you, are good. 

You waver when you do not Look to Me - to supply your daily needs.
You waver when you don’t Trust Me - for protection and direction. 

Have confidence in Me, and know that I am the GOD of all Truth. Trust that I care for you, and that I am a loving Father, who desires to give good gifts to His Children. However, you must know there is something which I require from you. 

I require that you Love Me, Trust Me and Be Obedient to My Word. For it is through Love, Faith and Obedience that you will stand firm.

You must trust that I am a loving GOD, that I will bless you and know I am both able & willing to meet your needs. Then demonstrate your love to Me by Trusting Me, even when you do not understand what I am asking of you. Obey Me without question.  Trust that I know what I am doing.  I am in control of all situations. And finally, look to Me, keep your eyes on Me and not on the circumstances.

I love you, and I will not abandon the one
who walks in Faith before Me.

I know this has been a time of shaking for many; however, those who trust in Me should not worry about the things of this world.  Yes, things will happen and things will be shaken. But you, Child of Mine, can stand firm if you are rooted and grounded in Me. For I am your place of refuge, I am with you and you shall not be moved. I have the power to sustain you, regardless of the circumstances that surround you. So, do not waver, trust that I am faithful and more than able to keep you.

Beloved, I am giving you a choice.

You can choose to look at your circumstances and worry over them.
Or you can choose to look to Me, trust that I am in control
and believe that your prayers have been answered.

If you choose to look to Me and hold fast to your confession of faith,
I will cause My peace and blessings to come upon you.
And then you will see I have made provisions for you.
So, do not waver in faith.
Be strong, and walk in it.

MEDITATE ON HIS WORD:

Psalm 46:5 - GOD is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: GOD shall help her at the break of day. 
 
Hebrews 10:23 - Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
 
Hebrews 11:6 - But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to GOD must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. 
 
James 1:6-8 - But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. 

A Spiritual Battlefield Peace Prayer (6.24.15)

Heavenly Father, 

I praise and worship You, because You are GOD.  

I am honored to be Your servant and I take my stand today
against the devil and his schemes against me and my family.

Father, as I take up each piece of the armor,
please secure it in place on me.

I take up the shield of faith and extend it over myself. 
It extinguishes all the fiery darts of the evil one.
I put on the helmet of salvation,
which protects my mind from the enemy’s attacks. 
I have the mind of Christ.
I put on the breastplate of righteousness,
which covers my body with the righteousness of GOD. 

In Christ, every foothold of evil has been washed away
and I am clothed in righteousness!
I gird my loins with the Your belt of truth. 
 
Your Word, O GOD, is truth. 

Father, sanctify me according to Your Word; 
and remind me, through the Holy Spirit, of the truth 
that destroys the lies of sin.
 
I shod my feet with the preparation of the Gospel of Peace. 
I have Peace with GOD through the blood of Jesus.  
I have favor with GOD and with man.  
I walk in my inheritance, as an adopted child of GOD, 
and have authority over all evil, in Jesus’ name. 

I will use the Sword of the Spirit, by speaking the Word of GOD, 
as it applies to whatever situation I may face today.  

Father, please remind me of Your Word, via the Holy Spirit. 
I will continue to pray in the Spirit throughout the day, 
and intercede for all Christians, as the Holy Spirit prompts me.  

I believe that the Holy Spirit is interceding
on my behalf, according to my prayers.

Thank you, Father, for the whole armor of GOD.  
Please surround me with Your hedge of protection
as I move forward on the spiritual battlefield today.  

I praise and worship You Father GOD,
Now and forever, 
Amen.

Walk in Love (6.23.15)

My Child,
You are worried about many things and because of this,
you’re blocking the flow of My Power.

I have something to offer you that will cause your worry to cease - more of My Love. It is My desire that you continue in love as I have loved you. When you have My Love working in you, it will cast out the spirit of fear.  Love conquers all.

With My Love dwelling within you,
even the insurmountable walls which seem
to be blocking your way,
will become a bridge to your blessing.

Fear and unbelief will block the flow of My Power in your life. When you walk in fear, you shut Me out of the very situations where you desperately need My Grace. You need more of My Love in your life, and you can have this by reading My Word.  Reading My Word will help you with your unbelief, resolve that which troubles you and destroy the spirit of fear.  Reading My Word will cause you to have more Faith in Me. I have not forgotten about the things you desire.

I am a GOD of My Word and
I will fulfill the desires of your heart.
Be at Peace, Beloved.  Selah.

Now, stop concentrating on your problems.  You are My Child and I have given you much work to do.

Everywhere you go
and in everything you do,
I want you to spread My love.

The only way that most people will ever experience My kind of Love, is through you. How will they know of Me?  How will they know about My Love, if you are focused on yourself, and not on Me?

So, come and dwell in My presence - to be refreshed and filled with My Love.

I am the Lord your GOD,
I am Love,
and I want My Love
to shine forth and dwell within you.

 

MEDITATE ON HIS WORD:

Matthew 13:58 - And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

Ephesians 3:17-19 - That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,8  May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of GOD.

Ephesians 5:2 - And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to GOD for a sweetsmelling savour.

2 Timothy 1:7 - For GOD hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

1 John 4:18 - There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 

Be Not Anxious, Be Patient & Rejoice!!! (6.22.15)

My Child,
I've noticed that you've become very anxious,
while waiting for your prayer to be answered.

Be patient My Child, rest in Me and know that I’ve heard you. And now that you know I've heard you, you should be rejoicing, knowing that what you have asked for, has been granted.  I have a set time for your divine breakthrough and it shall be as I promised.

Therefore, be not anxious, be patient and rejoice.

Don’t allow anxiety to rule in your heart. There’s no time for it, and no place for it, as you walk with Me. So come to Me, quiet your mind and be still. I need you to rest in Me, so you will be prepared for the great change that is to come. 

Resting is part of receiving your blessing. 
Resting in Me will renew your mind and
remove the weariness that you feel.
There’s a time of refreshing waiting for you,
if you will stop worrying - and be patient.

Now, I say to you - Have Faith!! 

For there is a miracle growing within you and it is soon to be birthed.  Like birth, there is a day of delivery; and nothing can stop it.  It will come when you least expect it.  And when it comes, the pain will be forgotten - for the arrival of the blessing changes everything.

So, do not be anxious while you're waiting.

Be prayerful.
Be at peace. 
Reflect upon My Word 
And prepare yourself to receive.

Oh, My Child, there is a great day of rejoicing coming,
and nothing will be the same anymore.

 

MEDITATE ON HIS WORD:

Romans 5:3-5 - And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of GOD is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
 
Philippians 4:6 - Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto GOD.

Praying for One Another (6.21.15)

With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our GOD may count you worthy of his calling, and that by his power he may fulfill every good purpose of yours and every act prompted by your faith. We pray this is so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our GOD and the Lord Jesus Christ - 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12

Faith Believers,

Have you ever felt deeply in your spirit to pray for someone? 

You may have been standing in a checkout line in a grocery store, or parked at a gas station, and notice someone you felt the need to pray for. There was something about this person that made you sense he or she needed prayer. 

This is GOD initiating a prayer within you. 

To respond, simply ask the Lord to help this person and deliver them from the grip of the enemy. The Lord wants us to pray for one another, regardless if you know the person or not. Do this each time you are in the presence of a person that you sense needs prayer. 

Jehovah is a loving GOD and His wish is that none will perish, 

but that all will come to Him in prayer.

Lord, 

Use me today to be Your instrument 

in the life of each person that
I come into contact with today.

Pray through me, by the power of Your Spirit,
to transform the hearts, minds and lives of others
for Your glory!

In the name of your son, Jesus Christ
Amen

Praying for Others - John 6:44 (6.20.15)

Thank you to David and Kim Butts for today's message.

_________

No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day - John 6:44

This verse became very personal for me one winter, 

shortly after I had given my life to Jesus. 

Clara, an older woman in my church, revealed that she had been praying for me daily, for over two years. She didn’t really know me, but she knew that I needed to give my heart to Christ. The significance of that moment didn’t hit me until I came face to face with John 6:44. Had GOD been drawing me close to Him while I was too busy to hear or pay attention? 

I could truthfully say that I had never known any other person who was interceding on my behalf. It made me ask, “What if she hadn’t been praying for me?”  I believe that Clara’s prayers allowed my heart to be open to the voice of the Holy Spirit. 

Because she cried out to GOD for my soul, 

I now have everlasting life. 

GOD was patiently wooing me, but in my ignorance and pride, I already believed I was going to heaven - because I was a “good person.”  Clara prayed that I would bow my knee before the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords. As she did battle on my behalf, I began to soften my will before GOD.  Responding to His call to make His Son, my Lord and Savior.

As GOD’s people have gotten serious about the need to pray for the lost, unreached peoples; all over the world, those "lost people" are responding to Him. Even in places where missionaries are not tolerated, people are having dreams and visions of Jesus. How is this possible, apart from the Spirit of GOD drawing them to Himself, in response to the prayers of GOD’s people? Consider how many people are lost to the prince of darkness because no one has prayed that their lives would be changed because of our loving Father? 

I have no doubt that prayer is the front line strategy for beating down the enemy. 

We may never know, until the Lord comes, 

how many lives have been opened to receive Christ 

because of our prayers.

Spirit of the Living GOD,

Break my heart for lost people! 

Touch me in the deepest places of my soul,
with longing to be continually aware of those around me,
and those around the world, who have yet to come to You.

Place the desire in my heart, to pray for their hearts to be opened, 
so that they can respond, as You draw them closer to You. 

May I never make an assumption that someone else will pray,
when You have placed a person, people or a group
upon my heart to pray for.

Use me Father, to be the conduit that allows lost people
to be drawn by You and to You.

In the name of your son Jesus Christ,
I pray.

Amen
