Be Determined to Dwell on the Things of God & Trust Him to Work All Things Out for Our Good (11.17.16)

Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. - Matthew 6: 34 

Faith Believers,
Many of us have spent restless hours being anxious about tomorrow (I know I am guilty of this). It might have been worrying about a loved one, a reply from a doctor, or waiting to hear if we have gotten a job. It really does not matter what the situation was, many of us have been anxious about things we could do nothing about.        

Jesus tells us not to be anxious about things that could happen, because there may be nothing we can do about the situation. He tells us that we cannot change our statue, nor change the length of our life. He said our Heavenly Father knows what we need. We spend so much time being anxious about tomorrow, that we often forget about enjoying today. We are on the earth to have fellowship with Jesus, but if our mind is occupied on worrying about things, we lose the opportunity to enjoy our life that has been given to us for that day.

Let us determine to dwell on the things of GOD
   and trust Him to work all things out for us.
He is concerned about every thing that comes into our life.
He knows our strengths and our weakness.
He will continue to make us strong where we are weak,
   and will continue to make us stronger where we are strong.        

Let us look at each day as a gift from Him to be blessed and be a blessing.

Sometimes one of the best things we can do when we are filled with anxiousness is to ask the Lord to allow someone to cross our path that we may be a blessing to. When we bless others we often forget ourselves and concentrate on helping those who need our help. This not only takes our mind off ourselves, but it also allows us to do the will of GOD.  

GOD is good and He wants us to experience His goodness every day.
Let us be determined to embrace all He has for us.
Let us be determined not to allow anxiousness steal the day
  that the Lord has made for us to enjoy.

Maintain Your Faith and Do Not Give Up Hope. Be Patient, Have Faith & Stand Strong..... (11.15.16)

My Child,
There are times during a storm when after you have prayed;
however, I need you to be quiet and listen to Me.

I know that seems hard to do when you’ve had a setback.
However, being still and listening is part of trusting Me.
Being still and listening to My Voice will give you a perfect peace
that will bring you safely through the storm. 

Don’t allow the situation to cause you to give up hope, nor lose faith.
Just be still, listen and meditate on My Word.

When you meditate on My Word, I will bring you through these harsh circumstances. I will show you the way that leads to Victory. All you need to do is maintain your faith and do not give up hope.

I did not promise that it would be easy.
I did promise that I would be with you, and I Am.
Therefore, be patient, have faith, and stand strong.

Trust Me to show you the way in which you should go,
then move according to My Will,
and you will have the Victory.



Read and Meditate on His Word
Psalm 25:5 - Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the GOD of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

Hebrews 13:5 - Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

When the enemy Comes on Strong (11.14.16)

Faith Believers,
If you feel like you are living in the war zone,
be of good cheer.

The heat is on because the enemy knows he has lost the battle.
Hallelujah!

If he thought he was winning, he would remain dormant so that he could keep control of things. However, because he's coming on strong, it shows that he is panicking and doing all he can to try to wear us down. Do not fear, because every time he shows his ugly head, he gets blasted by the Lord and loses his grip.

If we weren't such a threat to the enemy, he wouldn’t bother us.
The enemy sees the anointing on your life,
he knows how valuable you are to the Lord -- and he’s scared. 

Everything the enemy is doing is working against him, and working towards the culmination of GOD's perfect plan and purpose for us. You'd think by now the enemy would have learned that all he is doing is bringing us closer to the Lord.  However, by attacking us he's showing he’s not smart at all.  

I know that what we are going through is not comfortable,
sometimes it's downright painful,
but didn’t GOD tell us this would happen?

Didn’t He tell us in this world we would have tribulation? 

However, He also told us that He had overcome the things of this world and would never leave us. These are the things we must remember when we come against hard times. Just think about this, all you’ve gone through has prepared you for the blessing the Lord is sending your way. 

So rejoice,the victory is ours,
and the enemy knows it.

He knows he has lost the fight,
and that’s why he’s mad.

So what, who cares about him being mad?
GOD has already defeated him, and our only concern is pleasing the Lord.  


Hallelujah to the Lamb who sits on the throne!!! 

He reigns, He is Lord of all, and He is on our side.
Rejoice in His victory, and rest in His faithfulness,
because when the enemy comes on strong,
the Spirit of the Lord will give us the victory over the enemy
every time!



Read and Meditate on His Word
Isaiah 59:19 - So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him. 

John 16:33 - These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. 

2 Corinthians 2:14 - Now thanks be unto GOD, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.

Do Not Be Afraid Any Longer. Just Ask God! (11.13.16)

My Child,
There is something you want to ask Me, but
you are wondering if you have the right to do so.

My children need to realize that I know everything about them. I know their thoughts even when far away. Therefore, I already know what it is that you want to ask of Me. I am waiting for you to ask.

You have not, because you ask not.
Ask, and you will 
receive; so that your joy will be full.

I Am Your Heavenly Father, and it is
My good pleasure to supply your needs.

It is My joy to give you the blessings of the Kingdom, blessings that are stored up for you. Do not allow the enemy to bring condemnation upon you, and cause you to feel unworthy of the promises of the Kingdom. There is no condemnation to those who are in My Son, Jesus Christ; and you are with Us.

You have the right to live a blessed life,
it belongs to you.
If you remember, My Son came so that
you would have life more abundantly.


You seem to have forgotten this.
You seem to have forgotten who you are,
and to whom you belong
.

Therefore, let Me remind you who you are: you are a Child of the King.
You are blessed and highly favored, and all that your Father has, belongs to you. 
So, as a Child of the King, come and talk with Me.
Talk to your Father and ask for what you need.

Now, do not be afraid any longer; just ask.

John 16:23-24 - At that time you won't need to ask me for anything. I tell you the truth, you will ask the Father directly, and he will grant your request because you use my name. You haven't done this before. Ask, using my name, and you will receive, and you will have abundant joy.

Luke 12:32 - Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

Bless God's Name at ALL Times (11.11.16)

I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.  O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.  I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.  They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed. - Psalms 34:1-5
 My Child,
It brings delight to My Heart when you praise Me in the midst of your storm.  Even though you may be going through a stressful time, a praise should be on your lips. 

I know you may not feel like it,
but when you are faced with a storm,
lifting up My Name in praise
should be the first thing that you do.

My Child, before you cry, bless My Name. 
Before you reach out to anyone, stop and bless My Name. 
Before the enemy tries to make you believe -
  I do not care, rebuke him and bless My Name.
Even though you are overwhelmed and
cannot see your way, bless My Name.

Oh, bless My Name!

This is the right way to conquer all that troubles you.  Yes, I know that might be hard to do when you are hurting. However, it’s the right thing to do, it is the best thing to do, it is the only thing to do. O’ bless My Name and draw closer to Me. 

When you bless My Name first, you open the line of communication between you and Me.  Then, along with your praises, let your requests, the cries of your heart be made known. My Child, I will hear and I will come close to deliver you from all your fears.

I will keep your heart and mind at peace.

Sing praises and blessings to My Name, and you will see that I Am faithful to do My part.  Your sorrow will be turned into joy, and you will see.  The very thing which troubled you, will be carried away in a cloud of praise. 

Oh, bless My Name.



Read and Meditate on His Word

Psalm 103:1 - A Psalm of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

Philippians 4:4 - Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice. 

Philippians 4:6-7 - Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of GOD, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Seek God in All that You Do. Spend Time with Him & Receive His Wisdom, Peace and Grace. (11.10.16)

My Child,
Seek Me early in the morning.
Seek Me throughout your day.
And seek Me late into the evening,
especially before you lay down at night. 

Spend time with Me in the mornings, before you start your day, so that I can place My direction, guidance, and blessings upon your heart.

Spend time with Me throughout the day, while you are at work, or during your daily activities; so that I can give you My wisdom, peace, and grace to get through the day.

Most of all, talk to Me, as you place all that is troubling you into My Hands. 

It is My desire to make your burdens lighter.  However, if you desire to live a blessed and prosperous life, then seek Me in all that you do; because My Yoke is easy, My Burden is light and it’s My Desire for you to be blessed.

 
Read and Meditate on His Word:
Deuteronomy 4:29 - But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy GOD, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.

Psalm 55:22 - Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. 


Matthew 11:28-30 - Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.   For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. 

3 John 1:2 - Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

Are You Going to Give Up? (11.9.16)

My Child,
I know things haven’t worked out the way you hoped that they would, but does this mean you’re going to give up on your vision ever coming to pass?   

Does this mean you’re going to quit and walk away from the things I promised you? 

If you give up, it could mean you never really wanted it. If what you want is a desire within your heart, why would you stop at the first stumbling block that gets in your way?
 
I called you.


I have a purpose and plan for your life that is better than you can ever even imagined. However, it won’t come to pass if you give up.  Just because there is a delay or a stumbling block in your way, that does not mean that what I have promised will not come to pass.

If you want the same things that I want,
then you must believe as I believe.

Believe in My Promises.

Examine every Word I have spoken over your life
and do not let go.
 
I want only the best for My Children. 
This is a promise you must always believe and hold onto.

Now, ask for wisdom on how to remove that stumbling block out of your way, so that you can go and get your blessing.

 

Read and Meditate on His Word:  
Romans 8:28 - And we know that all things work together for good to them that love GOD, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 

2 Corinthians 4:8-9 - We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;  Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 

Ephesians 3:20 - Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, 

James 1:5 - If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of GOD, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

Discerning What is Hindering You from Walking in the Spirit (11.7.16)

My Child,
Be still and discern what it is that hinders your walk in the Spirit. 

There are people you must forgive, and issues that you have to release, in order to be free to move in the flow of My Spirit unhindered. The enemy will use bitterness to defile you and everything it touches. You must set watch and not allow disagreement and opposition to hinder My purposes in and around you.
This is a time of breakthrough for those who will leave the past behind and extend mercy to those who have used you, abused you or been unkind in any way.

I Am calling to you, My people, to forgive with a heart of generosity.
Forgive, and be at peace.

My child, it’s important for you to release the bitterness that you feel; otherwise, there will be things in the natural realm that will siphon off your physical and spiritual energy, causing everything around you to be in a state of  bitterness.

Heed My Call this day, and be obedient to My Word. Let go of everything that’s hindering your walk and holding you back from being victorious with Me.  Take a stand, and refuse to be controlled by the spirit of unforgiveness and bitterness. 

Now is the time to deal with these feelings so you can be blessed.
Forgive as I have forgiven you.


Faith Believers,
As you spend time with the Lord today,
take the time to pray for those who have hurt you,
as well as those whom you have hurt. 
Ask the Lord to bring peace into the situation,
forgive them as the Lord has forgiven you,
then leave it all in His hands.

Be Still and Trust God (11.6.16)

Beloved,
When you have no idea what to do next - be still, ask for wisdom and wait for Me to answer.  There is no need to panic or lose your peace when things don't seem to be falling into place; just surrender all to Me and listen for a Word from Me. 

I will indeed direct your steps and guide you on your path.  
I will tell you what to do and which way to go.
Therefore, do not give into a spirit of fear. 
Be patient, and put your trust in Me.

Be still and be as quiet as you can,
come to Me and I will be a shelter for you.

Dwell within My presence and I will comfort you, strengthen you, and lead you through this storm. Be still and trust Me, and you will see that the enemy is creating circumstances to tempt you, and to cause confusion, so that you will react emotionally to the challenges before you. 

Do not be fooled. 
I Am not the author of confusion!
So, refuse to give him the satisfaction.

Seek Me until you have 
clear directions, and resist the temptation to move ahead without adequate knowledge or preparation.

Do not move without the witness of My Spirit. 

Be still, be strong, stay steady, and your answers will come in due time. 
 
Stand securely in My presence, and be established again in peace. 

Be reminded that you are victorious in all things
and that no weapon formed against you will prosper.  


I Am truly with you, and I will lead you
through every stressful situation. 

Now, take a deep breath, do not lose hope in Me, wait quietly in My Presence, and you will see that I will not withhold any good thing from
you. 

So, be still and trust in Me.
