I, John, heard a voice from heaven speak to me.
Then the voice spoke to me and said:
"Go, take the scroll that lies open in the hand of the angel
who is standing on the sea and on the land."
So I went up to the angel and told him to give me the small scroll.
He said to me, "Take and swallow it.
It will turn your stomach sour,
but in your mouth it will taste as sweet as honey."
I took the small scroll from the angel's hand and swallowed it.
In my mouth it was like sweet honey,
but when I had eaten it, my stomach turned sour.
Then someone said to me, "You must prophesy again
about many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings."

A 2018 Thanksgiving Prayer (11.22.18)
~ Prayer ~
Amen
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for allowing me and my loved ones to see another Thanksgiving day.

Thank You for blessing me and my family; and keeping us safe from all
harm.
As we gather today and enjoy the festivities that Thanksgiving will bring, I pray You will continue to bless us and watch over us. Bless those who are not able to celebrate Thanksgiving with their loved ones - for what ever the reason(s) - but assure them that all things are done according to Your Will.

#ScriptureReflection - Revelations 4:1-11 (11.21.18)
I, John, had a vision of an open door to heaven,
and I heard the trumpetlike voice
that had spoken to me before, saying,
"Come up here and I will show you what must happen afterwards."
At once I was caught up in spirit.
A throne was there in heaven, and on the throne sat one
whose appearance sparkled like jasper and carnelian.
Around the throne was a halo as brilliant as an emerald.
Surrounding the throne I saw twenty-four other thrones
on which twenty-four elders sat,
dressed in white garments and with gold crowns on their heads.
From the throne came flashes of lightning,
rumblings, and peals of thunder.
Seven flaming torches burned in front of the throne,
which are the seven spirits of God.
In front of the throne was something that resembled
a sea of glass like crystal.
In the center and around the throne,
there were four living creatures
covered with eyes in front and in back.
The first creature resembled a lion, the second was like a calf,
the third had a face like that of a man,
and the fourth looked like an eagle in flight.
The four living creatures, each of them with six wings,
were covered with eyes inside and out.
Day and night they do not stop exclaiming:
"Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God almighty,
who was, and who is, and who is to come."
Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks
to the one who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever,
the twenty-four elders fall down
before the one who sits on the throne
and worship him, who lives forever and ever.
They throw down their crowns before the throne, exclaiming:
"Worthy are you, Lord our God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things;
because of your will they came to be and were created."
and I heard the trumpetlike voice
that had spoken to me before, saying,

Ask.... And God Will Give You Wisdom & Direct Your Steps.... (11.20.18)
My Child,
Once
again, I Say to you "Be still."
You are restless and sometimes even moody.
The situations you are facing have caused you to become unsettled, anxious and impulsiveness. But I Say to you, "Wait on Me." I Will most certainly bring you through this troubling time; and I Will strengthen, establish and settle you, according to My Will, as you yield to My Guidance.
Be at peace My Child, for you can trust Me absolutely.
I Am calling on you to get to know Me more intimately than ever before.
Ask, and I Will give you wisdom and direct your steps. Do not step out in your flesh , nor by the power of your own good ideas to try to bring a resolution to your problems.
Take the time, and make an effort, to become more intimate with Me; so that you can be elevated into a place you have never been.
Rise up in the Spirit and seek Me with your whole heart.
Seek Me and ye shall find Me.
Have faith in Me, for I Am the Lord your God.
I Shall send the Holy Spirit to order your steps,
when you trust and believe in Me.

A Crisis of Your Faith (11.19.18)
My Doubtful Child,
I Know you are going through a crisis of your faith, and your circumstances have caused you to doubt if you ever heard My Voice. You are allowing your circumstances to speak louder than your faith.

that is therein.
I Am the GOD who created you and knows all about you,
there is nothing too difficult for Me.
I Know you may not feel like it, but I Want you to strengthen yourself in My Word.

the faith of My Word. Resolve to rise above the doubt that plagues your
mind, and truly believe Me for complete deliverance in this particular
situation. Refuse to allow fear to have any place or control in your
life. Let faith in Me "rule and reign" in your circumstance.
I know, deep within your spirit, you believe in My Word.
However, doubt has starved your faith.

Problems, Prayers, Purpose & God's Miraculous, Creative Power (11.18.18)
And the peace of GOD, which transcends all understanding, will
guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus - Philippians 4:7
Faith Believers,
Pray
according to GOD’s Will, His Purposes and His Ways; but know that He
Will answer according to His Will.
Our Father will never forsake His Purpose to
answer your prayers. Let me say that again... Our Father will never forsake His Purpose to
answer your prayers. Too often we focus our prayers on either our
problems, or our perceived solutions. GOD wants us to focus on Him! And when
we focus on Him, our hearts are kept in perfect peace - as promised in
Philippians 4:7.
Our focus on GOD is evidence that we are walking by faith;
leaving both the problem and the solution to Him.
Our focus on GOD is evidence that we are walking by faith;
leaving both the problem and the solution to Him.
What
problem are you facing today?
Rather than pray frantically, pray for a solution.
Better yet, why not release your problem to
GOD's Will, through prayer?
GOD wants to do more than simply solve your problem; He wants to demonstrate His Miraculous, Creative Power for His Glory..... So thank Him in advance for doing this!

Awesome Father,
Awesome Father,
Your Will
is beyond my comprehension, and yet,
I long to be a part of all You are doing
in the midst of Your People.
I desire to walk by faith, and to trust in Your Ability
to do abundantly beyond anything I could ever
think or imagine.
May my eyes be fixed upon You, allowing You to deal
with all of the situations and problems in my life!
Help me to lay aside my agendas and plans, in favor
of Your own; for I know that it is not by my own
might or power, but by Your Holy Spirit that my
prayers are aligned with Your Kingdom Purposes!
Amen

Quiet Lives [from "God Calling"] - (11.17.18)
November 17
Quiet Lives
Quiet Lives
"Well done,
thou good and faithful servant...
enter thou into the joy of thy lord."
thou good and faithful servant...
enter thou into the joy of thy lord."
Matthew 25:21
These words are whispered in the ears of many whom the world would pass by unrecognizing. Not to the great, and the world-famed, are these words said so often, but to the quiet followers who serve Me unobtrusively, yet faithfully, who bear their cross bravely, with a smiling face to the world. Thank Me for the quiet lives.
These words speak not only of the passing into that fuller Spirit Life. Duty faithfully done for Me does mean entrance into a Life of Joy - My Joy, the Joy of your Lord. The world may never see it; the humble, patient, quiet service, but I see it, and My reward is not Earth's fame, Earth's wealth, Earth's pleasures, but the Joy Divine.
Whether here, or there, in the earth-world, or in the Spirit-world, this is My reward. Joy. The Joy that carries an exquisite thrill in the midst of pain and poverty and suffering. That Joy of which I said no man could take it from you. Earth has no pleasure, no reward, that can give man that Joy. It is known only to My lovers and My friends.
This Joy may come, not as the reward of activity in My service. It may be the reward of patient suffering, bravely borne.
Suffering, borne with Me, must in time bring Joy, as does all real contact with Me.

God's Rebuilding & Bringing You into Your New Life (11.15.18)
My Child,
I’ve been stripping everything old from you,
and I Know it’s been painful.
However, this was done so that I Could impart the new things that I Am doing in your life. It wouldn’t be wise of Me to pour new blessings into an old foundation that is falling apart; for the old foundation would not be able to contain the new blessings, and they would perish.
My Child, this is what I Am doing with you.
I Am working on your building.
I Am preparing you to receive the new things
I Am bringing into your life.
I Have seen what the storms have done to you. That is why I Am rebuilding and bringing new life in those damaged areas. I am taking away the hurtful things, the infirmities and the pain the storms have left behind; and I Am pouring healing and restoration into your life.
When people see My Finished Work, they will not recognize you. For you will be made Brand New, and your countenance will have changed.
The once shattered, torn, and broken shell that was
holding you together will only be a memory.
You WILL BE made whole again and
crowned in My Glory.
