God Is Able to Give You Much More Than This (7.7.19)

Faith Believers,
Regardless of what you're going through, remember this...
GOD IS ABLE TO GIVE YOU MUCH MORE THAN THIS

There is so much bad news in the world right now that sometimes you may feel it’s hard to hold onto the joy that GOD has given you.  If you have been feeling discouraged, if you are wondering when the Lord is going to do something in your life, then I pray this message will bless you.  It is time to put aside the grave clothes and stand up in the authority that God has given to you.

Not a day will go by when you won’t make a mistake, but it is not your perfection that sets you apart.  It is your heart for the Lord, that sets you apart.  If you continue to look at your mistakes or at the pressures around you; the enemy will continue to have you right where he wants you, dead and buried.

Please allow these words to minister to your heart.......

My Child,
I Have called you to stand high above your circumstances. 

Let Me repeat, I Have called you to stand high above your circumstances.

I Called you to stand on top of your mountains, not lie buried beneath them. I Want you to stand on your mountain and SHOUT out that “I will overcome, for My GOD is able to give Me much more than this."  You do not need to stand up in your own strength to try to overcome your situation.  You have Me, your Covenant Partner, and I Will supply the strength you need. 

Together in My Name, in My Power, the impossible will be done.
It does not matter how you feel. 

It does not matter what you are going through right now, I want you to know this is not the end of you. 

Say it, “THIS IS NOT THE END OF ME." 

Take My Hand and put your trust in Me, and walk into your new beginning.  Do not worry about the things you see with your eyes.  Do not worry about the things coming against you.  Put your trust completely in Me, and believe I AM ABLE TO GIVE YOU MUCH MORE THAN THIS!!!

When you feel your way has gotten too hard, and you cannot take another step, lean on Me.  I Will pick you up and carry you through. Go ahead, lean on Me for strength.  Let Me do what you cannot do. 

I Will pull you out of the fire and blow a calming breeze over your life, and put your feet on a steady path. 

I AM ABLE TO GIVE YOU MUCH MORE THAN THIS!!!

So regardless of your situation right now, I Just want you to know this one thing, I Love you, and I Will never leave you.  I Have a life more abundantly planned for you. Shake off those grave clothes and the things that weigh you down.  

Take hold of My Hand and allow My Joy to come into your life.  

Once you allow this to happen, A Light will shine, and you will know that I Am able to deliver you.  You will know that I Am able to do the impossible. You will know that I Am able to restore all you have lost, and you will know that I AM ABLE TO GIVE YOU MUCH MORE THAN THIS!!!

 READ AND MEDITATE ON HIS WORD:
2 Chronicles 25:9 - And Amaziah said to the man of GOD, But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel? And the man of GOD answered, The LORD is able to give thee much more than this

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,

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.

#ScriptureReflection - Wisdom 7:22-30 (7.6.19)

Nature and Incomparable Dignity of Wisdom

 For in her is a spirit
    intelligent, holy, unique,
Manifold, subtle, agile,
    clear, unstained, certain,
Never harmful, loving the good, keen,
²³     unhampered, beneficent, kindly,
Firm, secure, tranquil,
    all-powerful, all-seeing,
And pervading all spirits,
    though they be intelligent, pure and very subtle.

²⁴ For Wisdom is mobile beyond all motion,
    and she penetrates and pervades all things by reason of her purity.
²⁵ For she is a breath of the might of God
    and a pure emanation of the glory of the Almighty;
    therefore nothing defiled can enter into her.

²⁶ For she is the reflection of eternal light,
    the spotless mirror of the power of God,
    the image of his goodness.
²⁷ Although she is one, she can do all things,
    and she renews everything while herself perduring;
Passing into holy souls from age to age,
    she produces friends of God and prophets.

²⁸ For God loves nothing so much as the one who dwells with Wisdom.

²⁹ For she is fairer than the sun
    and surpasses every constellation of the stars.

Compared to light, she is found more radiant;
³⁰     though night supplants light,
    wickedness does not prevail over Wisdom.

A "Love Song to God Our Father" Prayer (7.5.19)

Father GOD,
Help me to abide in You, by listening to the voice of Your Spirit.

I ask for the ability to be still and know that You are GOD, and to seek to do only what I hear You tell me to do.  Please give me a deep desire to abide in You, Your Son Jesus Christ and Your Holy Spirit; and to bear much fruit for Your Kingdom. 

I love you Father, and I want to live my life according to the instructions you have given us through Your Word. 

Send Your Angels, this day, to surround me and my love ones; as you protect us from all evil. 

Father GOD send the Holy Spirit to dwell inside of Me, this day and forever, so that I can be an example to those who are seeking to know You. 

I pray this prayer in the name of Your Son,
     Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

Amen

#ScriptureReflection - 2 Samuel 21:15-22 (NKJV) (7.4.19)

Philistine Giants Destroyed

¹⁵ When the Philistines were at war again with Israel, David and his servants with him went down and fought against the Philistines; and David grew faint. ¹⁶ Then Ishbi-Benob, who was one of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose bronze spear was three hundred shekels, who was bearing a new sword, thought he could kill David. ¹⁷ But Abishai the son of Zeruiah came to his aid, and struck the Philistine and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, “You shall go out no more with us to battle, lest you quench the lamp of Israel.”

¹⁸ Now it happened afterward that there was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob. Then Sibbechai the Hushathite killed Saph, who was one of the sons of the giant. ¹⁹ Again there was war at Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaare-Oregim the Bethlehemite killed the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.

²⁰ Yet again there was war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in number; and he also was born to the giant. ²¹ So when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea, David’s brother, killed him.

²² These four were born to the giant in Gath, and fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.

Tell Everyone (Yourself & Others) of the Kindness & Many Good Things that God has Done (7.3.19)

I will tell of the kindnesses of the LORD, the deeds for which he is to be praised, according to all the LORD has done for us—yes, the many good things he has done for the house of Israel, according to his compassion and many kindnesses. - Isaiah 63:7

 

Faith Believers,

All too often, our faith is man-centered, rather than GOD-centered. We think it’s all about us - when it always has been, and always will be, about Him! In this verse, Isaiah is focused upon GOD and His Kindness to His People.

Isaiah demonstrates for us a marvelous way of staying GOD-focused. Isaiah committed to speaking of the kindnesses of the Lord. GOD had been good to His People as The Father's Deeds demonstrated, and Isaiah was going to make sure that the Israelites were aware of this fact.

So here is a question for you, for us...   Are you telling others how good GOD has been to you? Are you aware of the “many good things” The Father has done for you? If you are, then "Shout it from the roof top!!!"

Let yourself, hear yourself, telling others of the kindness of GOD.
This will help you to keep your focus in the right place.

~ Prayer ~
Father,

You are so good.
You have blessed me with Your Presence and
     Your Awesome love.

Give me both the opportunity, and the courage,
     to let others know how You have worked
     in my life.

I want to speak of Your Loving Kindness with
     clarity and boldness.

In the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ,
     I pray this prayer.

Amen

Do Not Lose Hope, God Will Answer (7.2.19)

My Child,
Pray with confidence in My Ability to answer your prayers. Cease with the complaining prayers and pray with expectancy for your promises to be fulfilled. I Am not a man that I should lie, nor a son of man that I should change My Mind. Do not give up on what I Have Promised you.

Just because you have to endure this situation,
     do not give up and lose hope.  I Will answer.

Quiet your spirit, for changes are happening; and I Want you to be able to hear the sound of My Still Small Voice, to know in which direction you should go. The enemy still seeks to distract you, and to throw confusion into this trial. Regardless of what he tries to do, continue to believe.

Beloved, lift your head up and look beyond what you are facing at this moment, and do not waver in your faith. Changing your mind back and forth causes indecision, and double-mindedness.

Look beyond what you are going through because it is only temporary. the enemy will do all he can to put just one more thing in your way, so that you will give up hope. Nevertheless, stand and refuse to allow him to have the victory.

he knows if you get through this obstacle, it will give you the courage and strength needed for your breakthrough.  So, stand My Child.  Do not stop praying to Me, and do not give up hope. 

I Am faithful,
      and I Will answer.




READ AND MEDITATE ON GOD'S WORD
Numbers 23:19 - GOD is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

1 Corinthians 1:9 - GOD is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

Hebrews 10:23 - Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; For He is faithful that promised;

Hebrews 10:35-36 - Cast not away, therefore, your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of GOD, ye might receive the promise.

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.

True Power Comes When You Pour Love, Encouragement & Blessings Into Others (7.1.19)

My Child,
I Have chosen you, so do not be afraid to step forward and do what I Have called you to do. It is not in your own strength that things will be accomplished, but in Mine. My Hand is upon you. It is time to go forth with what I Have poured into you throughout the years. What you’ve learned and received must be shared.

The seed I Planted in you has been dormant for too long. It’s time We water it and bring it to life.  It's time to start pouring what I’ve have imparted in you, into the lives of those around you. I Know you have daily concerns, which you feel are overwhelming; but you must trust Me to take care of them. There are others waiting to receive from you.  Lay aside your own needs, and begin to strengthen those around you with words of encouragement.

When you reach out and bless others, incredible things will happen.  The cares which overwhelmed you will slowly fade away. This will happen because you took the time to pour what I’ve given you into others. 

True power comes when you pour love into others.



Read and Meditate on God's Word
Luke 6:38 - Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

Acts of the Apostles 20:35 - I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

1 Timothy 6:18-19 - That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
