Worry Not. Fret Not. Trust God.... and Believe!! (3.9.20)

My Child,

You do not have to worry. 
You do not have to fret.
You must trust Me when I Say "all is well."
All is well.

You must always know that. Haven’t I Cared for you? Haven’t I Proven Myself more than worthy over and over again?

I Have caused men to give unto you. I Have made the crooked places straight. I Made rivers in the desert. I Brought you fresh water. I Supplied your needs, each time you called. I Know the things you need, because I Am an all-knowing and all-seeing GOD.  I Am close to you always. Ask Me for the desires of your heart, believe in your heart that you have received them; and I Will bless you according to My Will for your life.  Ask and believe in My Name; ask and believe in the Mighty Name of My Son, Jesus.

Nothing shall be impossible to you,
     if you believe.
Only believe, only believe.

I Have chosen a time and place for all things to take place; according to My Plan for your life. Be ready for Me to show up and show out in your life; because you have put your trust in Me and believed that I Would do the things you asked Me to do. 

Also remember, there were doors opened that only I Could have opened. I Will open more doors that have been closed. So, please do not worry.  I Know about everything you need and desire. Oh, yes, I Also know about the desires of your heart that you have have not told Me about.

Rest and know that I Love you. 
Be still and know that I Am GOD.
So again, why do you worry?

Numbers 11:23 - The LORD answered Moses, "Is the LORD's arm too short? Now you will see whether or not what I say will come true for you."

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

Psalm 94:19 - In the multitude of my thoughts within me Your comforts delight my soul.

John 14:27 - Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Matthew 6:25-26 - Therefore I say to you, Do not be anxious for your life, what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor for your body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Behold the birds of the air; for they sow not, nor do they reap, nor gather into barns. Yet your heavenly Father feeds them; are you not much better than they are?

Matthew 6:31-34 - Therefore do not be anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, With what shall we be clothed? For the nations seek after all these things. For your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things. But seek first the kingdom of GOD and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow; for tomorrow shall be anxious for its own things. Sufficient to the day is the evil of it. 

SPEAK Blessings & Believe!!! (3.8.20)

My Child,
Stop trying to figure out everything for yourself, and ask Me for My Wisdom.

The Windows of Heaven are open.  All you have to do is ask for your Blessings; and I Will give you the desires of your heart, according to My Will for your life.

I Want to shower you with an Abundance of My Blessings.
I Want My Blessings to ignite your Inner Spirit.
I Want My Blessings to influence others around you. 
 

Some of you have sown a harvest of tears, now it is time for you to reap in Joy. The Harvest is ripe, and now is the time for you to ask Me for the desires of your heart; and I Will Bless you according to My Will for your life. When you ask for blessings that are not of My Will, do not become discouraged, thinking that I Have led you on. There will always be times when I Will deny what you ask for; because I Have Blessings that are a thousand times better than what you were expecting for.

Your cup will soon start running over, and you will not have room enough to contain it all. 

Remember My Beloved - bless others as I Bless you. My Blessings are not just for you; but you must be a blessing to others, with the things that I Give to you.  Always do this - when you have been blessed, pass it on to others.

#ScriptureReflection - Proverbs 3 (3.7.20)

Trusting in the Lord

3 My child, never forget the things I have taught you.
    Store my commands in your heart.
² If you do this, you will live many years,
    and your life will be satisfying.
³ Never let loyalty and kindness leave you!
    Tie them around your neck as a reminder.
    Write them deep within your heart.
⁴ Then you will find favor with both God and people,
    and you will earn a good reputation.

⁵ Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
    do not depend on your own understanding.
⁶ Seek his will in all you do,
    and he will show you which path to take.

⁷ Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom.
    Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil.
⁸ Then you will have healing for your body
    and strength for your bones.

⁹ Honor the Lord with your wealth
    and with the best part of everything you produce.
¹⁰ Then he will fill your barns with grain,
    and your vats will overflow with good wine.

¹¹ My child, don’t reject the Lord’s discipline,
    and don’t be upset when he corrects you.
¹² For the Lord corrects those he loves,
    just as a father corrects a child in whom he delights.

¹³ Joyful is the person who finds wisdom,
    the one who gains understanding.
¹⁴ For wisdom is more profitable than silver,
    and her wages are better than gold.
¹⁵ Wisdom is more precious than rubies;
    nothing you desire can compare with her.
¹⁶ She offers you long life in her right hand,
    and riches and honor in her left.
¹⁷ She will guide you down delightful paths;
    all her ways are satisfying.
¹⁸ Wisdom is a tree of life to those who embrace her;
    happy are those who hold her tightly.

¹⁹ By wisdom the Lord founded the earth;
    by understanding he created the heavens.
²⁰ By his knowledge the deep fountains of the earth burst forth,
    and the dew settles beneath the night sky.

²¹ My child, don’t lose sight of common sense and discernment.
    Hang on to them,
²² for they will refresh your soul.
    They are like jewels on a necklace.
²³ They keep you safe on your way,
    and your feet will not stumble.
²⁴ You can go to bed without fear;
    you will lie down and sleep soundly.
²⁵ You need not be afraid of sudden disaster
    or the destruction that comes upon the wicked,
²⁶ for the Lord is your security.
    He will keep your foot from being caught in a trap.

²⁷ Do not withhold good from those who deserve it
    when it’s in your power to help them.
²⁸ If you can help your neighbor now, don’t say,
    “Come back tomorrow, and then I’ll help you.”

²⁹ Don’t plot harm against your neighbor,
    for those who live nearby trust you.
³⁰ Don’t pick a fight without reason,
    when no one has done you harm.

³¹ Don’t envy violent people
    or copy their ways.
³² Such wicked people are detestable to the Lord,
    but he offers his friendship to the godly.

³³ The Lord curses the house of the wicked,
    but he blesses the home of the upright.

³⁴ The Lord mocks the mockers
    but is gracious to the humble.

³⁵ The wise inherit honor,
    but fools are put to shame!

#ScriptureReflection - Esther 4:12-16 (3.5.20)

Prayer of Esther.
¹² Queen Esther, seized with mortal anguish, fled to the Lord for refuge. ¹³ Taking off her splendid garments, she put on garments of distress and mourning. In place of her precious ointments she covered her head with dung and ashes. She afflicted her body severely and in place of her festive adornments, her tangled hair covered her.

¹⁴ Then she prayed to the Lord, the God of Israel, saying: “My Lord, you alone are our King. Help me, who am alone and have no help but you, ¹⁵ for I am taking my life in my hand. ¹⁶ From birth, I have heard among my people that you, Lord, chose Israel from among all nations, and our ancestors from among all their forebears, as a lasting inheritance, and that you fulfilled all your promises to them. ¹⁷ But now we have sinned in your sight, and you have delivered us into the hands of our enemies, ¹⁸ because we worshiped their gods. You are just, O Lord. ¹⁹ But now they are not satisfied with our bitter servitude, but have sworn an oath to their idols ²⁰ to do away with the decree you have pronounced, to destroy your inheritance, to close the mouths of those who praise you, to extinguish the glory of your house and your altar, ²¹ to open the mouths of the nations to acclaim their worthless gods, and to extol a mortal king forever.

²² “Lord, do not relinquish your scepter to those who are nothing. Do not let our foes gloat over our ruin, but turn their own counsel against them and make an example of the one who began this against us. ²³ Be mindful of us, Lord. Make yourself known in the time of our distress and give me courage, King of gods and Ruler of every power. ²⁴ Put in my mouth persuasive words in the presence of the lion, and turn his heart to hatred for our enemy, so that he and his co-conspirators may perish. ²⁵ Save us by your power, and help me, who am alone and have no one but you, Lord.

²⁶ “You know all things. You know that I hate the pomp of the lawless, and abhor the bed of the uncircumcised or of any foreigner. ²⁷ You know that I am under constraint, that I abhor the sign of grandeur that rests on my head when I appear in public. I abhor it like a polluted rag, and do not wear it in private. ²⁸ I, your servant, have never eaten at the table of Haman, nor have I graced the banquet of the king or drunk the wine of libations. ²⁹ From the day I was brought here till now, your servant has had no joy except in you, Lord, God of Abraham. ³⁰ O God, whose power is over all, hear the voice of those in despair. Save us from the power of the wicked, and deliver me from my fear.”

 

Chapter D

Esther Goes to Ahasuerus.  ¹ On the third day, ending her prayers, she took off her prayer garments and arrayed herself in her splendid attire. ² In making her appearance, after invoking the all-seeing God and savior, she took with her two maids; ³ on the one she leaned gently for support, ⁴ while the other followed her, bearing her train. ⁵ She glowed with perfect beauty and her face was as joyous as it was lovely, though her heart was pounding with fear. ⁶ She passed through all the portals till she stood before the king, who was seated on his royal throne, clothed in full robes of state, and covered with gold and precious stones, so that he inspired great awe. ⁷ As he looked up in extreme anger, his features fiery and majestic, the queen staggered, turned pale and fainted, collapsing against the maid in front of her. ⁸ But God changed the king’s anger to gentleness. In great anxiety he sprang from his throne, held her in his arms until she recovered, and comforted her with reassuring words. ⁹ “What is it, Esther?” he said to her. “I am your brother. Take courage! ¹⁰ You shall not die; this order of ours applies only to our subjects. ¹¹ Come near!” ¹² Raising the golden scepter, he touched her neck with it, embraced her, and said, “Speak to me.”
¹³ She replied: “I saw you, my lord, as an angel of God, and my heart was shaken by fear of your majesty. ¹⁴ For you are awesome, my lord, though your countenance is full of mercy.” ¹⁵ As she said this, she fainted. ¹⁶ The king was shaken and all his attendants tried to revive her.

A Minor Setback (3.4.20)

My Child,
You must find a place of peace and strength in My Presence, regardless of the difficulties you have faced.  Do not give up. Refuse to give in to the temptation of discouragement and despair.  The difficulties of recent days will pass, but you must press through. This thing was just a minor setback - so stand up and refuse to allow the enemy to silence you. Regardless of what you face remember, I Am with you and I Will help you.  I Will never leave you nor forsake you. Trust in Me and I Will bring you through all of this confusion. This confusion is from the enemy, and not of Me. 

I Am not the author of confusion,
     but I Represent peace and order.

Be strong and resolute.  And refuse to allow fear or panic, take you out of the will I Have for your life.   Take whatever time is necessary to sit still before Me and talk with Me. 

Call out to Me, ask for My Wisdom regarding your next step and I Will show you the way.  Continue to seek Me for Wisdom and Guidance; and I Will strategically maneuver you around the obstacles placed before you. I Will lead you through every valley, as I Bring you into a place of peace and safety. 

My Child, I Want you to learn from what you have gone through; and use it to resist the enemy. I Want you to know that you have Mighty Power within you - over every work of the enemy.  So resist him and he will flee from you. 

Never forget who you are in Me.
You are more than a conqueror.
And I Am with you.

Read and Meditate on God's Word
Hebrews 13:5-6 - 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. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

Psalm 118:5 - I called on the LORD in distress; the LORD answered me and set me in a broad place.

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.

2 Corinthians 2:14 - Now thanks be to GOD who always leads us in triumph in Christ,James 4:7 - Submit yourselves therefore to GOD. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Romans 8:37 - Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

2 Corinthians 4:17-18 - 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.

God CAN Do the Impossible in Your Life.... The Question is, "Do You Believe He Can?" (3.3.20)

Faith Believers,
Did you know that GOD can do the impossible in your life?

The Word of GOD says that 'all things are possible with GOD.'  The challenge we face, is believing those very words.  We look at the challenges we face, through the eyes of man, and each time these challenges overtake us and cause us to become afraid and worry. Our Lord and Father has power over everything within this world, and nothing is catching Him by surprise.

This virus that has manifested and is killing so many people can be controlled and stopped by our Father at any time. In the book of Revelations it states that in the last days this world will be stricken with a plague. We are living in the last minutes before the return of Christ, and He wishes that no one should perish. It is our duty to share the Word of GOD with as many people as possible, as soon as possible, so that no one will perish.

Our Lord is always able to do the impossible.
He is Alpha and Omega, the beginning and
     the end of all things 

This day, let us agree together in prayer that the Lord Will have mercy on us during these trying times. All things are possible with GOD, and there is nothing He Will not do for those who love Him and serve Him. There is nothing like the peace of GOD that surpasses all understanding, when things around us are spiraling out of control.

Trust GOD through all of this, and know that He Is still in control; and He Still has all power over everything. Faith Believers, know that He can do the impossible in any situation He chooses.

Trust GOD today with all of your heart,
     mind, body and soul and He Will
     give you peace.

 

Thank God for what you have,

Trust God for what you need.

#ScriptureReflection - Daniel 9:1-23 (3.2.20)

Daniel’s Prayer for His People

9 In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of Median descent, who was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans— ² in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, understood from the books the number of years which, according to the word of the Lord to Jeremiah the prophet, must pass before the desolations [which had been] pronounced on Jerusalem would end; and it was seventy years. ³ So I directed my attention to the Lord God to seek Him by prayer and supplications, with fasting, sackcloth and ashes. ⁴ I prayed to the Lord my God and confessed and said, “O Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps His covenant and extends lovingkindness toward those who love Him and keep His commandments, ⁵ we have sinned and committed wrong, and have behaved wickedly and have rebelled, turning away from Your commandments and ordinances. ⁶ Further, we have not listened to and heeded Your servants the prophets, who spoke in Your name to our kings, our princes and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.

⁷ “Righteousness belongs to You, O Lord, but to us confusion and open shame, as it is this day—to the men of Judah, to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, those who are nearby and those who are far away, in all the countries to which You have driven them, because of the [treacherous] acts of unfaithfulness which they have committed against You. ⁸ O Lord, to us belong confusion and open shame—to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers—because we have sinned against You. ⁹ To the Lord our God belong mercy and lovingkindness and forgiveness, for we have rebelled against Him; ¹⁰ and we have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God by walking in His laws which He set before us through His servants the prophets. ¹¹ Yes, all Israel has transgressed Your law, even turning aside, not obeying Your voice; so the curse has been poured out on us and the oath which is written in the Law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against Him. ¹² And He has carried out completely His [threatening] words which He had spoken against us and against our rulers [the kings, princes, and judges] who ruled us, to bring on us a great tragedy; for under the whole heaven there has not been done anything [so dreadful] like that which [He commanded and] was done to Jerusalem. ¹³ Just as it is written in the Law of Moses, all this tragedy has come on us. Yet we have not wholeheartedly begged for forgiveness and sought the favor of the Lord our God by turning from our wickedness and paying attention to and placing value in Your truth. ¹⁴ Therefore the Lord has kept the tragedy ready and has brought it on us, for the Lord our God is [uncompromisingly] righteous and openly just in all His works which He does—He keeps His word; and we have not obeyed His voice.

¹⁵ “And now, O Lord our God, who brought Your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand and who made for Yourself a name, as it is today—we have sinned, we have been wicked. ¹⁶ O Lord, in accordance with all Your righteous and just acts, please let Your anger and Your wrath turn away from Your city Jerusalem, Your holy mountain. Because of our sins and the wickedness of our fathers, Jerusalem and Your people have become an object of scorn and a contemptuous byword to all who are around us. ¹⁷ Now therefore, our God, listen to (heed) the prayer of Your servant (Daniel) and his supplications, and for Your own sake let Your face shine on Your desolate sanctuary. ¹⁸ O my God, incline Your ear and hear; open Your eyes and look at our desolations and the city which is called by Your name; for we are not presenting our supplications before You because of our own merits and righteousness, but because of Your great mercy and compassion. ¹⁹ O Lord, hear! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, listen and take action! Do not delay, for Your own sake, O my God, because Your city and Your people are called by Your name.”

Gabriel Brings an Answer

²⁰ While I was still speaking and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the Lord my God in behalf of the holy mountain of my God, ²¹ while I was still speaking in prayer and extremely exhausted, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the earlier vision, came to me about the time of the evening sacrifice. ²² He instructed me and he talked with me and said, “O Daniel, I have now come to give you insight and wisdom and understanding. ²³ At the beginning of your supplications, the command [to give you an answer] was issued, and I have come to tell you, for you are highly regarded and greatly beloved. Therefore consider the message and begin to understand the [meaning of the] vision.
