Stand Firm in Faith & Refuse to Give Up - Receive God's Answers to Your Prayers (8.13.19)

My Child,
I Am answering your prayers in a way, which might not seem to make sense to you, but for some of you - why don’t you have faith in what I Am doing?  You prayed, believed, and expected a reply. However, the reply that came forth was not quite what you expected.  Now you are wondering if I heard your prayer.  A part of you questions whether I even Care, and some of you are beginning to doubt if it’s worth keeping your commitment of having faith in Me.

The angel told Daniel, from the moment he opened his mouth, to seek understanding and speak forth My Word for that which he desired; I Heard Daniel's prayer.

I Want you to believe that I've sent forth My Word for your deliverance and provision as well.  Therefore, never allow your eyes to deceive you - have faith.

Have faith and believe.

Believe in Me, and the promises I Have Spoken over your life. Stand firm in faith and refuse to give up, until you receive your answer.

I want you to be just like the woman who persisted and would not leave My Son's Presence, until He healed her daughter.  Stay before Me, until you see My Hand move upon your situation.

Continue to pray in My Name, have faith; and the things that once blocked your blessings, will have to fall away.  Then your eyes will be opened, and you will see that I Was there all the time, working on your behalf.

You will see that I Was there, waiting for you to call your blessings into existence.

I heard you.
I’ve answered your prayers. 

Have faith My Child,
     help is on the way.

Daniel 10:12 - Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy GOD, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words.

Matthew 15:22-28 - And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs. And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

Mark 11:22 - And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in GOD.

Stop Doubting God (8.12.19)

My Child,
You must believe, and stop doubting, that I Am able to do that which I Have Promised.

Do not bind My Hands with words of defeat and failure. Defeat and failure are not in My Promises to you.  My Promises will always give you hope and a future.

My Child, I Delight in blessing you - because I Love you.  I Desire to honor you and show Myself faithful to all who wait for My Help. Your very trials and tribulations will be turned into great testimonies.

Those things which were once an embarrassing burden to bear, will now become a great testimony of My Goodness for all those who love and serve Me with a whole heart. 

Therefore, do not doubt My Word. 

Do not doubt the things that I Am
     yet to do in your life.

Obedience, 'Doing,' Faith & Trust Will Bring Your Blessings. Start Expecting.... (8.11.19)

Faith Believers,

Is there something that you need right now? 

Have you been waiting for something so long, that you’re wondering whether you will ever receive it?  If so, let me tell you that the Lord we serve will come through for you.  If you’ve asked Him for something, trust and believe that the Lord has heard your prayer, and He is working on your behalf right now.

Therefore, start expecting to be blessed.

Listen to His Still Small Voice 

My Child,
Many of My Children are weary because My Promises have not yet materialized in their lives.  I Want to tell you, this day, My Words will not return to Me void.  My Words will accomplish all that I Have declared.  Look expectantly for the manifestation of those promises to take place in My Perfect Timing; for I Am not a man that I should lie. 

However, you must be sure you are obeying My Word, in order to receive My Promises.  I Honor all obedience in full.  If you meditate on My Word and you are a doer; I Promise to do My Part. 

I Long to see every one of My Promises fulfilled in your life. 

 

It hurts when I See you struggling, especially when I Know the price that was paid for you to live an abundant life.  Abundance is part of your inheritance. If you are obedient to My Word, and are a doer of My Word; abundance will come to you and blessings will overtake you.  That promise wasn’t just for the children of Israel, that promise was for you too. 

My Word is everlasting. 
 

Therefore, I Say to you today, if the spirit of lack has been hovering over your life, and you are beginning to lose faith in My Word, rebuke that spirit.

Let out a shout of praise, then reach up in faith and get your blessing.  Your obedience and faith are the things that will unlock the Windows of Heaven, and cause My Blessings to overtake you.

Nothing Is Too Hard, Nothing Is Hidden from God (8.9.19)

No creature can hide from GOD. Everything is uncovered and exposed for him to see. We must answer to him. - Hebrews 4:13


My Child,
Nothing is hidden from Me.
There is no situation, or plan of man, that
     I Cannot Turn the tables on.

The plans of the enemy that are being formed against you, I Will turn inside out, and cause them to work out for your good. Instead of you being the victim and being destroyed; the perpetrators will find themselves the recipients of their own evil.

Nothing is too hard for Me.

I See men doing things in their dark places; but regardless how deep their darkness, I Can still See as clearly as if it was broad daylight. There is absolutely nothing that can be hidden from My Gaze. They have forgotten that My Eyes are everywhere, seeing both good and evil.

Nothing is hidden from Me.

Therefore, stop worrying about what others are doing, and what they are saying. You do not need to know what they are up to. I Know.  And that's all you need to know, so keep your eyes on Me. Do not allow the enemy to distract you and cause you to lose your focus. Oh yes, he wants you to take your eyes off of Me and miss your Blessing.

My Child, set your face like a flint.
Seek My Face only.
Do not let his evil plan hinder you.
For I Am with you.

Nothing can stand against Me.

Now, rest in Me.
Yes, rest in Me and trust that
     I Have you in the palm of My Hand.

I need you to believe that no weapon formed against you will ever prosper. Meditate on My Word and allow your love for Me to send the spirit of fear out of your life. That's all it is, fear.

I did not give you a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind.

I Say again, rest in Me.
Rest in Me knowing that nothing
     is hidden from Me.

I’ve got it all under control.

Seek God in the Morning, Throughout the Day & Before You Lay Down to Sleep (8.8.19)

My Child,
Seek Me early in the morning; seek Me throughout your day, and seek Me at night before you lay down to sleep.

Come to Me early in the morning, before you start your day, for My direction, guidance, and blessings.

Spend time with Me throughout the day at work - as you go about your task(s) - so that I Can give you My Wisdom, Peace, and Grace to get through the day.

And most of all, talk to Me at the end of the day to commit all that you have endured into My Hands. It is important for you to do this so that you can rest peacefully when you lay down at night.

If you desire to live a blessed and prosperous life; then, seek Me to take away those things that have been a burden to you. 

Beloved My Yoke is easy and My Burden is light; and it is My Desire for you to be blessed in all you do.

#ScriptureReflection - 1 Thessalonians 5 (8.7.19)

The Day of the Lord

5 Now, brothers and sisters, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, ² for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. ³ While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

⁴ But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief.

⁵ You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. ⁶ So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober. ⁷ For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night. ⁸ But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet. ⁹ For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. ¹⁰ He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him. ¹¹ Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.

 

Final Instructions

¹² Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, to acknowledge those who work hard among you, who care for you in the Lord and who admonish you. ¹³ Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with each other. ¹⁴ And we urge you, brothers and sisters, warn those who are idle and disruptive, encourage the disheartened, help the weak, be patient with everyone. ¹⁵ Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always strive to do what is good for each other and for everyone else.

¹⁶ Rejoice always, ¹⁷ pray continually, ¹⁸ give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

¹⁹ Do not quench the Spirit. ²⁰ Do not treat prophecies with contempt ²¹ but test them all; hold on to what is good, ²² reject every kind of evil.

²³ May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. ²⁴ The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.

²⁵ Brothers and sisters, pray for us. ²⁶ Greet all God’s people with a holy kiss. ²⁷ I charge you before the Lord to have this letter read to all the brothers and sisters.

²⁸ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

During Times of Testing - Stand Strong (8.6.19)

Hebrews 4:16 - Let us, therefore, come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.



Faith Believers,
There have been so many attacks on GOD's people in the area of their finances. the enemy seems to be pressing in from every angle, doing all he can to oppress us from reaching our goal. the enemy is out to distract us from the Vision that GOD has given us.

If the enemy can keep us focused on him and what he is doing, then he will win the battle.  The more we talk about how busy he is, the more we glorify him, and not the Lord.

It's time we turn this thing around, and stop broadcasting
     what the enemy is doing in our lives.
It’s time we remind the enemy of the mighty GOD we serve. 
It’s time to praise the Lord for what He has done, what He is
     doing, and for the victories that are yet to come. 

It’s time to praise GOD and give Him all the glory for what He did for us when He sent His only Son, Jesus Christ - who hung, bled and died on the Cross.

Hear what the Lord is saying:

My Child,
Whenever you are troubled on every side, rest assured, I Am there to keep the pressures of this world from overtaking you. 

Child, you are in this world but not of this world.  I Overcame all of this for you.  Do not allow the times of testing to get the best of you. Stand strong in My Name, with a clear vision.

I Know there are times when you feel confused and don't know which way to turn. Those are the times in which you should be still, come to Me, and listen to My Voice. My Love and Grace will keep you and guide you from becoming depressed.  Let prayer be your weapon against the thief who wants to bring you down. Your best defense is on your knees, to defend what I Am about to give you.

As you pray, your heart and eyes will be opened so that you will clearly see what you could not before. 

Nothing can stop My Hand.  Nothing can stop the blessings that I have ordained that will manifest into your life. Watch wealth and prosperity of the Lord catch up and overpower you as a reward for your faithfulness.  Oh, how your heart will rejoice and be glad.

Therefore, always remember that I Am working on your behalf, even when you think I Am not.  I Am honoring My Word.  So, stand strong, stay focused and allow My Grace and Mercy to keep you; as I Work to bring My Promises to pass in your life.

2 Corinthians 4:16-18 - For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Things Are Not What They Seem (8.5.19)

Dear Child,

There will be times when it seems like I Am allowing a lot of attacks to come upon you.

It may feel as though I've lifted My Hand of Protection from you, but I Have not. My Child, you only experience attacks that will strengthen you and cause you to be drawn closer to Me.  However, you don't see the many attacks that I Have shielded you from. You don’t see the warfare going on in the Heavenlies to shelter you from attacks that would destroy you.

Things are not what they seem.

In your darkest hour, I Want you to remember, things are not what they seem. There is nothing that the enemy can throw at you that will surprise Me, overwhelm Me, or stop Me from keeping My Promises to you.

Things might look alarming and out of control from your perspective. However, I Am never caught off guard and there is nothing that I cannot handle. I Am always working on your behalf to bless you, and to protect you from all harm.

Therefore, during those times of hardship, in those times when it seems like you’re in a dry season, in those times when it seems like I’ve forgotten you - remind yourself of My Promises to you. 

Remind yourself that I Will never forsake you nor leave you. I Do Not disappoint those who put their trust in Me. I Have placed My Holy Spirit within you, and My Holy Spirit will reside in you for all the days of your life. 

I Am there with you, so never forget that
     things are not always what they seem.

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.

Your Season Has Not Passed (8.4.19)

My Child,
I Know how you’re feeling.
I Know what you’re thinking.
And I Am telling you, your season
     has not passed.

Why are you allowing the enemy to disqualify you before the victory is won?  Don’t you know that I Qualified you when I Called you?   I Chose you.  I’ve known you from the beginning, and I Will be with you until the end.

Your season has not passed.

I Know this because you still have so much work to do.

The enemy is trying to fill your spirit with lies about your worth by making you see yourself differently than I see you.  You are not flawed; you were uniquely created.  I have crafted My stamp upon you and My kingdom purposes are written within you.  Therefore, believe Me when I say, your season has not passed; for you carry My presence, and when you are in My presence everything you do is blessed.

My Child, Believe in Me, believe in My Word, and I Will produce a harvest that will not wither when all around you is dry. 

Believe in My Word, and it will go out and cause all you do to prosper; then you will experience wells of living water springing up in your life.

Therefore, choose not to harden your heart through the sin of doubt and unbelief.  Instead, choose to rise up in My Holy Spirit, and allow My Holy Spirit to ignite that mustard seed faith within you, so you will cause the enemy to flee.

The power of My Son's Resurrection is intended for you. 

It is My Gift to you.

It is a Gift that should bring you joy and delight, not condemnation and defeat.  Therefore, reach out in faith, and apply it to your life; because My Son paid a great price for this gift.

So, do not allow the enemy to make you believe that you are condemned, and that your season has passed.  If anything, your season is just beginning. 

Now, shake off that spirit which is trying to disqualify you; and celebrate the new thing and the new season in your life.
