Commit Thy Works (2.19.21)

 

My Child,

Commit everything you do unto Me.

Take Me, as your partner, and your plans will succeed.

It is My Desire for you to be the head and not the tail.  For you to prosper.  To be above and not beneath. I Want to move in your life and guide you into all truths. If only you would cast your cares upon Me, I Would be your Burden Bearer. There is no problem that I Cannot solve.  No situation that I Cannot see. 

Release everything unto Me and watch your healing come through.
Release everything unto Me and watch your finances turn around.
Release everything unto Me and watch your loved one come home.

Release all to Me, and watch Me do the impossible in your life.

Oh, if only you commit it all to Me, My Precious Child. For there is nothing I Would not do for you. Just let Me have My Way in your life. Let Me come in.  And I Will do what no other can - or will - do in your life.

Let Me have My Way.

Commit thy works unto Me.
Trust and obey Me.
And I Will cause your plans to succeed.

#ScriptureReflection - Deuteronomy 30:15-20 (2.18.21)

¹⁵ See, I set before you today life and prosperity, death and destruction. ¹⁶ For I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him, and to keep his commands, decrees and laws; then you will live and increase, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land you are entering to possess.

¹⁷ But if your heart turns away and you are not obedient, and if you are drawn away to bow down to other gods and worship them, ¹⁸ I declare to you this day that you will certainly be destroyed. You will not live long in the land you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess.

¹⁹ This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live ²⁰ and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the Lord is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

#ScriptureReflection from Joel, Psalms, 2 Corinthians & the Book of Matthew (2.17.21)

Joel 2:12-18

Return to the Lord.
Yet even now - oracle of the LORD -
    return to me with your whole heart,
    with fasting, weeping, and mourning;
Rend your hearts, not your garments,
    and return to the LORD, your God.
For he is gracious and merciful,
    slow to anger, abounding in steadfast love, and relenting in punishment.
Perhaps he will again relent
    and leave behind a blessing,
Grain offering and libation
    for the LORD, your God.

Blow the horn in Zion!
    Proclaim a fast,
    call an assembly!
Gather the people,
    sanctify the congregation;
Assemble the elderly,
    gather the children
    even infants nursing at the breast;
Let the bridegroom leave his room
    and the bride her bridal tent.
Between the porch and the altar
    let the priests weep, let the ministers of the
    LORD weep,
And say, “Spare your people, LORD!
    do not let your heritage become a disgrace,
    a byword among the nations!
Why should they say among the peoples,
    ‘Where is their God?’”

Then the LORD was stirred to concern for his land
    and took pity on his people.

---

Psalms 51:3-6, 12-14, 17

Be merciful, O Lord, for we have sinned.

Have mercy on me, O God, in your goodness;
    in the greatness of your compassion wipe out my offense.
Thoroughly wash me from my guilt
    and of my sin cleanse me.

For I acknowledge my offense,
    and my sin is before me always:
“Against you only have I sinned,
    and done what is evil in your sight.”

A clean heart create for me, O God,
    and a steadfast spirit renew within me.
Cast me not out from your presence,
    and your Holy Spirit take not from me.

Give me back the joy of your salvation,
    and a willing spirit sustain in me.
O Lord, open my lips,
    and my mouth shall proclaim your praise.

2 Corinthians 5:20 - 6:2

Brothers and sisters:
We are ambassadors for Christ,
as if God were appealing through us.
We implore you on behalf of Christ,
be reconciled to God.
For our sake he made him to be sin who did not know sin, 
so that we might become the righteousness of God in him.

Working together, then,
we appeal to you not to receive the grace of God in vain.
For he says:

    In an acceptable time I heard you,
        and on the day of salvation I helped you.

Behold, now is a very acceptable time;
behold, now is the day of salvation.

Psalm 95:8

If today you hear his voice,
harden not your hearts.

Matthew 6:1-6, 16-18

Jesus said to his disciples:
“Take care not to perform righteous deeds
in order that people may see them;
otherwise, you will have no recompense from your heavenly Father.
When you give alms,
do not blow a trumpet before you,
as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets
to win the praise of others.
Amen, I say to you,
they have received their reward.
But when you give alms,
do not let your left hand know what your right is doing,
so that your almsgiving may be secret.
And your Father who sees in secret will repay you.

“When you pray,
do not be like the hypocrites,
who love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on street corners
so that others may see them.
Amen, I say to you,
they have received their reward.
But when you pray, go to your inner room,
close the door, and pray to your Father in secret.
And your Father who sees in secret will repay you.

“When you fast,
do not look gloomy like the hypocrites.
They neglect their appearance,
so that they may appear to others to be fasting.
Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward.
But when you fast,
anoint your head and wash your face,
so that you may not appear to be fasting,
except to your Father who is hidden.
And your Father who sees what is hidden will repay you.”

Embrace the NEW (2.16.21)

My Child,
You must - now - move on to newer and higher things.

No longer long for the past.
No matter how good it may have
     seemed for some of you. 

You are already on your way.  You are about to enter into a new realm with greater glory and higher visions. Be ready to receive and expect major blessings to come your way.  Your patience, and sowing faithfully into My Kingdom, has not gone unnoticed.  Neither has your steadfastness through hard times gone unseen. Nothing escapes My Presence.  Nothing escapes My Notice.  So, I Call you today to leave the past behind ~ and fully embrace new life and liberty.

Embrace this new beginning.

And soon you shall see My Spiritual Blessings poured out in such magnitude that you will not be able to contain them.  

 

It is time for a new start, a new season, a regeneration of My Purposes, My Visions and My Plans for you. If you can receive it ~ if you are willing to receive it ~ I Am going to begin to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that you can even believe or expect in your life.   That is My Gift to those who have ears to hear, and the heart to receive it by faith. 

Therefore, be obedient.
Stay faithful.
And embrace the new.

And My Child ~ never ever forget ~ that I Am always working on your behalf.

God Has Plans For YOU (2.15.21)

Failure?
Not so.

Beloved,
I Had a plan for you, before you took your first breath. I Gave each of you special gifts and visions, all orchestrated by Me, for what I Called you to do.

You were created in My Image, and I Do not create any failures. You see, some of you think that your visions and dreams are fading; because things may not be going according to your plan. Stop looking at things with your physical eyes. You must walk by faith, not by sight.  You must understand that things are going according to My Perfect Will.

Beloved, when you choose not to look at your dreams and visions through the eyes of faith; it is a high probability that many of you will think that those dreams and visions are too big for you to accomplish.

Then your confidence is shaken.  Then, for many of you, you will begin to believe that you will never accomplish your dreams. However, I Gave you those dreams; and they are not too big for Me to fulfill. I Put those dreams in your heart, and I Will bring them to pass.

You will NOT fail.
You CANNOT fail. 
For you are My Created Work.

Even when you may feel like you are
     drifting away.
I Will pull you back.

Now, put your thoughts about failing, away.

Failing is not A Part of My Perfect Plan for your life.

Even though, for some of you, your situation(s) may appear to contradict what I Have given you, the facts remain - "I Have abundant, wonderful plans for you, My Beautiful, Brilliant Child; and I Never change My Mind."

NEVER STOP PRAYING!!!! (2.14.21)

 

My Child,
Do not let your heart become troubled, just because things may not yet be what you've expected.  It is not over until I Say that it is over.  Do not stop praying until you receive your blessings. Allow Me to show you how to bring your heart into a state of peace, to receive your blessings. 

Oh My Precious Child, quiet your soul.  Be calm.  For the victory - My Victory - that is coming forth in your life will bring extraordinary joy.

Out of the chaos many of you are going through, I Am Bringing peace to the turbulent circumstances. I Am Flooding your troubled heart with My Joy.  My Holy Spirit will turn each and every disturbance into a peaceful, over-flowing river. Oh, Child, cease not praying.  Cease not praying and I Will turn the Light of My Holy Spirit on; so that you can experience the darkness retreating from your life. 

Believe in Me and never stop praying.

Be assured that I Am for you and with you.

You are My Treasured One.
And I Am leading you through this valley. 

Now, let your heart be filled with joy and your lips with songs of praise. Pray and know that, in the end, We win.  And there will be a total redemption of all things lost.

I Love You Child.

Believe in Me.

And Never.

Stop.

Praying.

Luke 18:1-7 - And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not GOD, neither regarded man: And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. And he would not for a while: but afterward, he said within himself, Though I fear not GOD, nor regard man; Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. And shall not GOD avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? 

John 15:11 - These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

#ScriptureReflection - 2 Kings 5:1-14 (2.13.21)

Elisha Cures Naaman’s Leprosy.

¹ Naaman, the army commander of the king of Aram, was highly esteemed and respected by his master, for through him the Lord had brought victory to Aram. But valiant as he was, the man was a leper. ² Now the Arameans had captured from the land of Israel in a raid a little girl, who became the servant of Naaman’s wife. ³ She said to her mistress, “If only my master would present himself to the prophet in Samaria! He would cure him of his leprosy.”

⁴ Naaman went and told his master, “This is what the girl from the land of Israel said.” ⁵ The king of Aram said, “Go. I will send along a letter to the king of Israel.” So Naaman set out, taking along ten silver talents, six thousand gold pieces, and ten festal garments.

⁶ He brought the king of Israel the letter, which read: “With this letter I am sending my servant Naaman to you, that you may cure him of his leprosy.” ⁷ When he read the letter, the king of Israel tore his garments and exclaimed: “Am I a god with power over life and death, that this man should send someone for me to cure him of leprosy? Take note! You can see he is only looking for a quarrel with me!” ⁸ When Elisha, the man of God, heard that the king of Israel had torn his garments, he sent word to the king: “Why have you torn your garments? Let him come to me and find out that there is a prophet in Israel.”

⁹ Naaman came with his horses and chariot and stopped at the door of Elisha’s house. ¹⁰ Elisha sent him the message: “Go and wash seven times in the Jordan, and your flesh will heal, and you will be clean.” ¹¹ But Naaman went away angry, saying, “I thought that he would surely come out to me and stand there to call on the name of the Lord his God, and would move his hand over the place, and thus cure the leprous spot. ¹² Are not the rivers of Damascus, the Abana and the Pharpar, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be cleansed?” With this, he turned about in anger and left.

¹³ But his servants came up and reasoned with him: “My father, if the prophet told you to do something extraordinary, would you not do it? All the more since he told you, ‘Wash, and be clean’?” ¹⁴ So Naaman went down and plunged into the Jordan seven times, according to the word of the man of God. His flesh became again like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.

 

 

Move Ahead..... and DO NOT Turn Back! (2.12.21)

My Child,
What you have seen, and heard, from Me is possible for you. I Know that you don’t always understand it.  And Child, you don’t have to. However, I Want you to trust Me and know that it is possible. I Do not speak as one who is vain and full of imagination. I Speak as The One.  The One Who has wonderful and marvelous gifts waiting for you.

With Me impossibilities are eliminated. 
For with Me, all things are possible.
I Desire to show you things that you
     have only dreamed of.  

 

I Am pushing your faith to the next level, just like you asked Me to do.

Now, I Want you to step forward.
Plant your feet on solid ground.
And look straight ahead into the face of
     your impossibilities.
And believe.

Do not allow anyone to cause you to turn back. You have been pressing your way through some impossible situations.  And I Am so very proud of you, My Child.  You keep pressing.  You keep trying.  You keep on coming to Me, first.  Listening for My Still Small Voice.  Looking for My Signs.  Expecting that I Will show up.  Believing that I Will show up.   

 

Therefore, do not turn back now. Be strong.  Be courageous.  Be steadfast.  Be faithful.  Be not discouraged.  Be focused, on Me.  And you will take the land set before you. 

 

Move in obedience.  Listen to My Voice.  And you will overcome those who would try to hinder your walk with Me.

 

Stand with Me. 

And be firm in your commitment to follow Me no matter what the cost. 

 

I Want you to get a clear picture of Me - Standing beside you, Walking hand in hand with you.

Surrender your impossibilities into My Hands.  And relax. Be obedient to what I Tell you to do, and do what I Tell you to say.  For you are about to see the Awesome Wonders that I Have been waiting to do in your life.

Just move ahead.
Do not turn back.
One step forward.

Then another step.

Then another step.

And not one step back.

Move ahead.
Do not turn back.

Be Not Anxious..... (2.11.21)

Fellow Faith Believers,

Many of us have spent restless hours being anxious about tomorrow (I know I am guilty of this). It might have been worrying about a loved one, waiting for a test result from a doctor, or waiting to hear if we have gotten a job. 

It really does not matter what the situation was or is (for some of you may be experiencing this right now, especially in these days and times).  For many of us, at one time or another, have been anxious about things we have no control over. Jesus tells us clearly in The Word not to be anxious about tomorrow, for there is nothing we can do about what has not yet happened.

Listen to what Our Father Has to Say

My Child,
I Do not want you to be anxious about anything.
Anything.

Anything.

I know what you need. And as I Said in My Word, I know what you need before you ask. Yet, some of you spend so much time being worried about tomorrow, that you forget to enjoy today. Start looking at each day as a gift, and appreciate the many blessings that each day brings.

Sometimes one of the best things you can do when anxiousness fills your heart is to put your thoughts on someone less fortunate and ask Me how you may bless their lives. When you take the time to be a blessing to someone else, you soon forget your troubles and concentrate on helping them. Doing this will always help you to realize you are blessed and it will teach you to be more appreciative of what you have. Before you know it, you will be counting your blessings instead of focusing on your problems.

Therefore, do not allow anxious thoughts
     to steal your joy. 

I Made this day just for you.
Remember to enjoy the day and embrace the day
     with thanksgiving and love.
Remember this is the day I Made and you are
     to "rejoice and be glad in it."

the enemy comes only to steal, kill, and destroy; but I Sent My Son long ago, and He Gave His Life that you may live in abundance. So, do not allow the enemy to steal any more of your days.

This is the day I have made,
     do not be anxious -
     but rejoice, and be glad.

Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Face Your Challenges..... in Faith (2.10.21)

My Beloved,
So much has happened. 

Things have occurred, which have overwhelmed some of you; and now, for some of you, a spirit of heaviness has come upon you. Now, some of you are wondering what to do because, in the natural, things seem despairing. 

I Am Here to counsel you.
I Am Here with you.
I Am Here, covering you.

I Am Here, protecting you. 
And I Am Here to tell you it is
    not a hopeless situation.
For nothing is impossible for Me. 

And My Child, WHY do you keep on forgetting this very key thing?  Why do you seem to never recall?  Why does it feel like you are not listening?  I Have Given you My Authority and My Power. And you must use it to fight and bind the strong man.  Once I Have Anointed you, given you My Authority, My Power, My Spirit, My Wisdom, My Knowledge and My YOU MUST "DO YOUR PART." Do not allow the enemy to have his way! 

Every challenge that comes your way MUST be faced in supernatural faith and in the strength of My Holy Spirit.  My Strength and My Power are MORE than enough to see you through all (each and every) of your circumstances; but you MUST believe that it is enough.

You must refuse to allow discouragement, difficult conditions or the negative reports of others - to undermine your faith.  You must refuse to allow it.

I Am able to do great things through you, when you face things in faith.

Stand strong in the faith of My Word; and when you stand strong, it will cause you to rise above all the circumstances that trouble your spirit.  All that you have to do is stand in the faith of My Word, stand in the faith of My Presence, stand in the faith of My Authority - and be of good courage.  Do this, and the challenges that you face will be defeated.

Rise up My Child.

RISE UP.

Rise UP. 

Take My "Sword of the Spirit," confront the strongman
     and break the power that is being used against you. 

 

Exercise, by faith, My Authority that I Gave to you long ago.  And though you have had My Authority, you have not - for one reason or another - EXERCISED My Authority, in My Power, in your own strength.  That must change.  Right now.  Right now.  Right Now.....  You must exercise - day and night - My Authority, in you, Right Now.  You must build and strengthen the Spiritual Muscles that I Gave you long ago. 

Hear Me My Child. 
Exercise My Authority.
Right now.

 

Do not allow the enemy to hold you down.  

Turn away from all disappointment and
     all despair.

Turn away, RIGHT NOW!!

And encourage yourself - constantly, consistently,
    and daily - with My Word.
