Now, It Is Time to Seek the Lord! (5.9.17)

Sow for yourselves righteousness, reap the fruit of unfailing love, and break up your unplowed ground; for it is time to seek the LORD, until he comes and showers righteousness on you - Hosea 10:12

Faith Believers,
Now is time to seek the Lord!

When we experience periods of spiritual dryness, we look for answers in many places. But GOD’s Word directs us to seek the Lord, for He is a very present help in time of troubles.

You may say, “But I’m already a Christian, why should I seek the Lord?”

The sad truth is, we all have a tendency to move away from His Presence. We find ourselves spiritually dry and wonder why such things could happen to a believer. The Lord’s presence must be continually sought after. Complacency and the natural tendency we have towards becoming distracted by the affairs of this world require us again and again to seek the Lord.

Whenever there is spiritual drought and you need to hear from the Lord, your response should be, “It is time to seek the Lord!”

Seeking requires effort.
It should not be a vague desire but a consuming passion.
It requires persevering through prayer.


~ Prayer ~Gracious Father,
It is so easy to become distracted by the things of the world
when my heart should be set on Your Plans and Purposes.

Pour a renewed passion within my heart to seek Your Face
and to live in Your Presence continually,
regardless of  my circumstances.

I love You, trust You and worship You Lord. 

Amen

Bless the Name of the Lord at ALL Times (5.8.17)

"I will bless the Lord at all times."

My Child,
This should be your thought, no matter what happens in your life.  Whenever faced with a trial or test, praise should be your first step.  Yes, before you cry out "in distress" to Me, let a praise of thanksgiving rise up to the Heavens.

Do this always. 
Even in the most difficult circumstances,
    take the time to search for the smallest thing
    to be grateful for, and begin to praise Me. 
When praises come forth from your lips,
    you begin to defeat the enemy.

You send the enemy fleeing from your presence, and you open a line of communication between you and Me.  Then, you will find, that I Will do My Part and abundant blessings will begin to flow.

Oh, what joy you bring to My Heart when you overcome the enemy with Praises to Me.  

Take time to delight yourself in Me,
    and watch the desires of your heart come forth. 
Take time to search for joy, every day of your life. 
Hunt for it (joy), like 
hidden treasure.  

Right now, enter into a Spirit of Praise and Thanksgiving, in the midst of what you’re going through; and destroy the works of the enemy.

Oh, bless My Name at all times.  Make a joyful noise unto Me, the Lord your God, and watch Me deliver you from all your fears.

Read and Meditate on God's Word:
Psalm 34:1-4 - 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. 

Psalm 37:4 - Delight thyself also in the
LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

Psalm 103:1-2 - Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

Prayer is.... (5.7.17)

Faith Believers,
A prayer is simply coming into the presence of GOD and talking to Him.

We come to Him as we are, with all our sins and faults. Prayer is like a son or daughter talking to a very loving father. However when we pray, the loving father is GOD. GOD is always prepared to listen to us.

Prayer is simply a journey with GOD.
It begins at the point that you pray to Him,
     and ask for His help in your life.

He leads, and you follow Him.

The simplest form of prayer is a cry from the heart which shouts out aloud, "Please help me, GOD."  GOD always answers to a cry which is from the heart.

Prayer can also help us in attaining GOD's guidance in the most difficult phases of our lives. This is when we are not sure of which direction our lives should take.

Also, sometimes in our lives we lose faith in GOD,
     and begin to assume that GOD doesn't listen to our prayers.

We might feel that no matter how many prayers we pray, we are not able to get through to Him; or we might feel that GOD does not care about us, and therefore He does not answer our prayers.

We might also ask ourselves the question: what is the right way to pray to GOD?

One thing is for sure that we must always approach GOD with total reverence in our hearts for Him. The Lord has promised to never forsake us nor to leave us. When you feel as though you cannot express your prayer in words, ask GOD to listen to your heart.

He know who we, His Children, are and what is in our hearts.

Philippians 3:13-14 - Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of GOD in Christ Jesus.

Proverbs 4:11 - I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.

James 1:22-24 - But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.  For if any be a hearer of the
word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 

Revelations 2:29 - He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Never Forget Who God Is (5.4.17)

My Child, 
I
 heard you last night, so I speak today
    to remind you of Who I A
m.

I Am the One who loves you, who cares for you, who watches over you. I Am the One who brings salvation into your life. I Am the One who heals you and preserves you. I Am the One who directs you and calls you
    into places you’ve never walked before. 
I
Am the One who knows you personally. 

I
 know your name. 
I
 know where you are going. 
I
 know how to bring you to that place of victory,
    and I will do so in this present season;
    therefore, get ready for transformation.

Get ready to move beyond those things that have been bothering you, and the things that held you captive; because in this season I Am going to elevate you.
I will pour My Wisdom into you so that you will understand who I Am, and that you belong to Me. And because you belong to Me, nobody can take you out of My Hand.

My Child, do not forget these things that I have said, for I know the lies spoken into your ears by the evil one. Remember, it does not matter what he says.  he does not love you - I do. 

Therefore, the only thing you must remember is who I Am. 
I
Am the One who watches over you. I Am the One who provides for you. I Am the One who delivers you,
    and I Am the One who heals you.

I declare to you this day Who I Am, and I declare to you
   My Love, My
Joy, and My Peace.

These are My gifts to you - receive them, embrace them, and never forget
   
Who I Am.
Read and Meditate on God's Words:
Psalm 139:1-8 - O LORD, you have examined my heart and know everything about me.  You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I’m far away. You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do. You know what I am going to say even before I say it, LORD. You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to understand! I can neverescape from your Spirit! I can never get away from your presence! If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the grave, you are there. (NLT)

2 Samuel 22:2-3 - And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; The GOD of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence. 

John 10:10 - The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I
am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

The 2 Keys to Victory: Go Where God Sends You, and Pray (5.3.17)

When your people go to war against their enemies, wherever you send them, and when they pray to you toward this city you have chosen and the temple I have built for your Name, then hear from heaven their prayer and their plea, and uphold their cause - 2 Chronicles 6: 34-35

Faith Believers,
Notice two important keys to victory: “…wherever you send them, and when they pray to you…” 

Victory for the people of GOD is always dependent upon following the Lord’s Will.  Solomon presented a powerful message for physical and spiritual victory: go where GOD sends you, and pray.

We need to remember this as we do battle daily, with the enemy of our souls.
Though we must remember that our battle is NOT against flesh and blood,
     as it was in the Old Testament, it is still a very real struggle; and the need for
     this sort of authoritative praying and submission to the leading of GOD is essential.

  -  Marilyn

~ Prayer ~
Father God,
I submit my life to you completely.

I will go wherever you send me,
    and I will pray as I go.

May Your Presence and Power go with me always.
You said in Your Word that You would never
     leave me, nor forsake me.

I trust you Father.
In the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, I pray

Amen

Stand Firm on the Rock of Faith... & Believe (5.2.17)

My Child,
I want you to rise above the circumstances
    which created a place of despair in your heart. 

Regardless of the attacks that caused you to fear,
    I Am still the Rock of your spiritual foundation.
I Am holding you up, even when you feel like you
    cannot even lift up your eyes.
I will bring you through your current dilemma.
I will give you wisdom, direction, and I will bring people
    into your life that will help you through this difficulty.
 
Stand firm on the Rock of faith, and believe.
I want you to have faith and stand, even when it seems
    that there is no place to stand.
I want you to stand when the world
    seems to be crumbling around you.

Stand and rest in the assurance that I AM who I AM. 
 
Take the time to re-focus and turn your concentration from stressing over what you feel you cannot do; to the victory that comes through obedience to trusting in My Word.

Establish your heart in absolute faith, and do not doubt.
Turn your heart towards the Rock, and pray in faith for My Intervention.

I will hear your cry, and I will answer.

2 Samuel 22:47 - The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.

defence; I shall not be greatly moved.

Psalm 95:1 - O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.

Isaiah 65:24 - It shall come to pass that before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear

Do Not Be Moved by the Words of Others, They Don't Know What God is Doing in Your Life (5.1.17)

My Child,
There are people around you who think you should be worried.
However, you know in your heart things are going to work out.

Oh, you don’t know how, but deep within there’s a peace
     that reminds you; I AM in complete control.

Do not allow the voices of others to cast fear and doubt into your life, because you should surrendered your fears to Me. The moment you cast everything upon Me; I began to do a new thing within your spirit.

Therefore, do not be moved by the words of others,
     they don’t know what I Am doing in your life.

I know sometimes it is hard for you to be still and pray,
     especially when your circumstances are telling you
     that you should do something.

However, you made a promise to Me that you would
     step aside and allow Me to work on it.
My child, I AM still working.
I never stopped working in your life.
Do not allow the words of others to cause you
     to believe that I Am not faithful.

Just as I Am faithful to you, I want you to be faithful to Me.

Keep your hands on the things I’ve given you to do,
     and continue to pray and press your way through. 
Saturate your life with My Word, for there is peace and strength in My Word.
Oh, fill your heart and mind with My Loving Words,
     and they will remind you that I will supply your every need.

Regardless of how strong the winds blow,
     no matter what the naysayers are saying, 
     do not give up. 
It doesn’t matter that you don’t see the funds right now. 
I say you have a heavenly bank account in Me,
     and I will bring it forth in My timing.

I do not move on their time, and neither does your life.
You gave your life to Me, I Am in control and My timing is always the best. 

Therefore, do not allow others to distract you.

Now focus and continue to pray.
Rest in My Peace and do not allow the words of others
     to distract you; for their words cannot stop My Hand.
