You Were Created to Be Victorious!!! (3.19.21)

My Precious Child,

You are an amazing person.
You were carefully planned.
You were carefully chosen.
And I Made you special. 

My Holy Spirit is releasing you to be precisely the person who I Designed you to be.  I Designed you to be strong, bold, faithful, and able to do all things in My Strength and in My Anointing.

Yes, you will succeed at that which you put your hand to; because My Holy Spirit dwells within you. I Have confidence in you. You should have confidence in yourself.  Do not doubt yourself. Do not think that you don’t have what you need to be successful. My Holy Spirit is within you, and has filled you with all manner of workmanship needed. I Have given you all that you need. Therefore, STAND FIRM in the face of any temptation, any doubt, any worry, any fear and any trials that may come against you.

Allow My Holy Spirit to continue to work in you, and to change your mindset, so that you too will have My Confidence, My Wisdom, My Discernment, My Strength and My Anointing.  You will succeed. Do not allow yourself to be held back by the lies of the enemy anymore.

Embrace who I Have created you to be.
Embrace the Calling and that I Have put
     on your life.
Embrace the Destiny that I Have put on
     your life.
Be confident in who you are. 

Now, rise up My Child.
Rise up, My Child.

Rise up!

 

Rise up in My Power, and go accomplish all that I Have given you to do. 

I Know that you can do it.
My Holy Spirit Knows that you
     can do it.
My Son Jesus Christ Knows that
     you can do it.
And it's about time - in fact, it is
     overdue - that you know it too.

Put Your Hope, Your Needs, Your Trust and Your Peace in God (3.18.21)

 

 

My Precious Child,
Some of you may not always be aware of My Presence; but I Am ALWAYS aware of yours. I Am with you, and I Am constantly working for your good. I Know what you need, even before you ask Me. I Know, right now, that some of you are going through some circumstances that seem to be so overwhelming, that some of you feel that you cannot make it.

However, know that I Am with you, in the midst of what you are going through. You have nothing to fear.  Worry not.  What you are going through - as long as you put your trust in Me, your life in My Hands - will never overtake you.

I Will not allow it. 
I Am still in control.
I Want you to learn to
      put your hope in Me.

Do not allow your circumstances to have power over you.  Do not allow your circumstances to steal your joy. You have worked too hard for the joy that is in your life. I Promised you My Peace, and My Joy, no matter what is going on in your life. A peace that surpasses all understanding.  That surpassing peace is for you to have, now. Right Now!  Believe that I AM your Provider. Believe that I AM your joy.

Oh, My Precious One, just keep your hope in Me.  If you just keep your hope in Me, your worry and fears will leave you. I Promise you, that it all you have to do.

Turn over to Me that which is troubling you, and watch as I Saturate it with My Peace. It is My Desire for you to walk in My Supernatural Peace, and in the fullness of My Joy; knowing that I Am faithful and I Will bring My Glory into your situation. 

Put your hope in Me, Child.
Seek and understand My Will.
Walk in My Supernatural Peace and
     the fullness of My Joy.
And you will not be disappointed.

#ScriptureReflection - Psalm 146 (3.17.21)

(Those who trust in God
know what it is to be happy.)

My soul, give praise to the Lord;
I will praise the Lord all my days,
make music to my God while I live.

Put no trust in princes,
In mortal men in whom there is no help.
Take their breath, they return to clay
and their plans that day come to nothing.

He is happy who is helped by Jacob’s God,
whose hope is in the Lord his God,
who alone made heaven and earth,
the seas and all they contain.

It is the Lord who keeps faith for ever,
who is just to those who are oppressed.
It is he who gives bread to the hungry,
the Lord, who sets prisoners free,

the Lord who gives sight to the blind,
who raises up those who are bowed down,
the Lord, who protects the stranger
and upholds the widow and orphan.

It is the Lord who loves the just
but thwarts the path of the wicked.
The Lord will reign for ever,
Zion’s God, from age to age.

 

LOOK UP!!!! (3.16.21)

My Children,

Some of you, many of you, have found yourself in a valley of weeping and despair.  In your hearts, some of you feel this will never never end. Like this season has gone on for far too long.  Its seeming like forever, for some of you, with no end in sight.  Some of you have even nearly lost hope of ever coming through this season, and of things changing. Some of you expected a breakthrough by now, and your expectations have not been met.

My Child, My Word is true. 
My Word. Is. True.

You must remain faithful, and refuse the temptation to fall into a depressive state. the enemy desires to steal your strength, and to hinder your ability to move ahead.  he wants you to not only stay where you are, right now; but nothing would bring him more joy than for you to remain stuck, or even to regress deeper, and lose more ground.  he is also trying to extinguish the flame of desire you have for Me, by bringing you down to the depths of hopelessness and defeat.

Look up, My Child. 
LOOK UP!! 

There is an end to this struggle.  I Am your door of hope.  Look up.  Seek to find your place in Me, (YOUR PLACE in ME) and do not be weary in well-doing, for you will reap in due season - if you do not faint.  Look up. Refuse to give in to discouragement and negative thinking.  Look up.  Do not allow discouragement to take a stronghold in your life, (look up) for it will paralyze you and keep you from moving ahead in My Purposes and in My Mighty, Divine Plan.  Look up. Shake yourself loose from the deception that has crept into your thinking. 

Look up.  Look up. 
Look up.  Right now. 
Look UP!!

Rise up Child, I Say, RISE UP! 
And stand on the Truth of My Word. 

I Have given you the power to trample (yes, TRAMPLE) over ALL the works of the enemy. Stand and Use My Word to break every curse and assignment the devil has sent against you. 

You are not a victim of his schemes
     and plans. 
You will be victorious over every
     weapon he has formed against you. 

Cast off your worries and fears.

Come to Me, in confidence, and you
     will find the help you need. 
Come boldly, before My Throne, and
     you will be victorious over this valley.

 

Read and Meditate on GOD's Word

Psalm 23:4 - Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 

Isaiah 40:31 - But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.

Isaiah 54:17 - No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.

Galatians 6:9 - And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.

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. 

 

 

Be Patient..... and Trust God (3.15.21)

For when GOD made promise to Abraham because he could swear by no greater, he swear by himself, Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. - Hebrews 6:13-15 

 

Faith Believers,
The Lord understands how hard it is for some of us to wait for His Promises, especially when it may seem like everything around us is falling apart.

Sometimes, the Lord will wait, before He Blesses us; to teach us how to glory in tribulations.  So we can understand that the tribulations we endure will strengthen our patience.  And strengthened patience, strengthens our experience, and strengthened experience, strengthens our hope. We cannot allow the things we see with our natural eyes to cause us to lose hope and give up; before we receive our blessings. 

We must hope for what we do not see, and the best way to do this is with patience.

Isaiah 30:18 - And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a GOD of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.

Hebrews 10:36-37 - For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of GOD, ye might receive the promise. For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.

Remember what the angel told Daniel, From the moment we set our heart to seek the Lord for an answer to our problems, He hears us - Daniel 10:12. Just because the answer doesn’t always come when expected, that doesn’t mean that the Lord hasn’t heard our prayer.  We must hold fast to our confession of faith, and patiently wait on the Lord.

What we may think of as a delay, is often "patience" doing a perfect work in our life.  We need to allow "patience" to work, and stop trying to get ahead of the Lord by taking matters into our own hands by trying to force things to happen.

Keep patiently waiting
     and the Lord will bring
     you into a better place.

Hear What GOD'S Still Small Voice Has to Say

 

My Child,
I’ve Spoken to you about a breakthrough that’s in your midst; and some of you are wondering why this breakthrough hasn’t manifested. My Child, do not be weary; for My Promises are indeed coming to fruition.

A little more patience is what you need at this moment. There is no reason to get into a rush because you’re in a holding pattern. I Know that patience isn’t always easy to come by; therefore, continually ask Me to renew your strength, as you wait.

I Know you may not fully understand the process of what I Am doing.

However, have faith in Me, and trust Me with every little detail. I Have never failed. Please know, I Have not forgotten you. Do not let this battle cause you to despair; but seek Me to find the comfort and the strength you seek, in your time of need.

Immerse yourself in My Word.  Allow it to feed and fuel your Spirit, while you patiently wait for your breakthrough.

You will not be defeated.

Believe, that My Words shall come to pass.  Have patience.  Come to Me.  Rest in My Arms.  And know that I Am bringing healing, and deliverance, to each and every area of your life.

READ AND MEDITATE ON GOD'S WORD

Hebrews 10:36 - For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of GOD, ye might receive the promise. 

James 1:3-4 - Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

James 5:10-11 - Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience. Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful and of tender mercy.

Colossians 3:12 - Put on therefore, as the elect of GOD, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

Planting Seeds for the Kingdom of God (3.14.21)

Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain - 1 Corinthians 15:58

Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy. He who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with him - Psalm 126:5-6

Fellow Faith Believers,
When praying for others, and as you do good - in tangible ways - for them, always remember that there will be much rejoicing when even one person gives their life to Jesus!

Every prayer and every loving act is significant; and you may never see or know the results of the seeds you have planted for the Kingdom of GOD. Your planting and watering will produce a harvest for the Kingdom of GOD, according to GOD's Will.

As you pray for others, and as you help to prepare the soil for them to receive many blessings, GOD Will also bless you for being obedient to His Word and for encouraging newcomers to His Word.

The Lord is pleased even if only one person turns their life around, and gives their life to GOD.  For in that moment, Heaven rejoices!

• Read Psalm 24 and praise GOD as the King of Glory; the Lord, Strong and Mighty; the Lord, Mighty in battle; the Lord Almighty!
• Give thanks for GOD’s Power as His Blessings are poured into your life and ministries.
• Confess any attempts to live and minister by your power, instead of by the power of the Holy Spirit.
• Commit yourself to being a channel of GOD's Powerful Love.
• Ask GOD to give you clean hands, a pure heart, integrity of soul and honest speech; so that His Power can flow through you, unhindered.
• Pray that your family and friends will seek GOD’s Face, and be allowed into His Presence through Christ Jesus.

~ Prayer ~
Father GOD, 

Help me to stand firm upon Your Word,
so that nothing moves me away from
Your Will and Your Purpose. 

May each day give me an opportunity to
give myself fully to Your Work of Prayer,
knowing that these efforts will never be
done in vain.

Give me the humility of heart to pray
for the eternal salvation of others.

In the Name of Jesus Christ, I pray.
Amen

 

#ScriptureReflection - Hebrews 13:18-25 (3.13.21)

¹⁸ Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a good conscience, desiring to conduct ourselves honorably in all things. ¹⁹ And I urge you all the more to do this, so that I may be restored to you more quickly.

Benediction

²⁰ Now may the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the eternal covenant, that is, Jesus our Lord, ²¹ equip you in every good thing to do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

²² But I urge you, brothers and sisters, listen patiently to this word of exhortation, for I have written to you briefly. ²³ Know that our brother Timothy has been released, with whom, if he comes soon, I will see you. ²⁴ Greet all of your leaders and all the saints. Those from Italy greet you.

²⁵ Grace be with you all.

 

 

#ScriptureReflection - Jeremiah 17:19-27 (3.12.21)

Observing the Sabbath

¹⁹ This is what the Lord said to me: “Go and stand in the gates of Jerusalem, first in the gate where the king goes in and out, and then in each of the other gates. ²⁰ Say to all the people, ‘Listen to this message from the Lord, you kings of Judah and all you people of Judah and everyone living in Jerusalem. ²¹ This is what the Lord says: Listen to my warning! Stop carrying on your trade at Jerusalem’s gates on the Sabbath day. ²² Do not do your work on the Sabbath, but make it a holy day. I gave this command to your ancestors, ²³ but they did not listen or obey. They stubbornly refused to pay attention or accept my discipline.

²⁴ “‘But if you obey me, says the Lord, and do not carry on your trade at the gates or work on the Sabbath day, and if you keep it holy, ²⁵ then kings and their officials will go in and out of these gates forever. There will always be a descendant of David sitting on the throne here in Jerusalem. Kings and their officials will always ride in and out among the people of Judah in chariots and on horses, and this city will remain forever. ²⁶ And from all around Jerusalem, from the towns of Judah and Benjamin, from the western foothills and the hill country and the Negev, the people will come with their burnt offerings and sacrifices. They will bring their grain offerings, frankincense, and thanksgiving offerings to the Lord’s Temple.

²⁷ “‘But if you do not listen to me and refuse to keep the Sabbath holy, and if on the Sabbath day you bring loads of merchandise through the gates of Jerusalem just as on other days, then I will set fire to these gates. The fire will spread to the palaces, and no one will be able to put out the roaring flames.’”

 

 

#ScriptureReflections - Hebrews 13:12-15 (3.11.21)

  ¹² Therefore Jesus also suffered outside the gate, that He might sanctify the people through His own blood. ¹³ So then, let us go out to Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach. ¹⁴ For here we do not have a lasting city, but we are seeking the city which is to come.

¹⁵ Through Him then, let’s continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips praising His name.

Prayers Start with GOD (3.10.21)

The Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accord with God’s will - Romans 8:26-27

Fellow Faith Believers,
I want to share a radical thought.  It has transformed my way of praying and my way of thinking about prayer.

For years I believed that my prayers started with me. I felt I had to "get GOD's attention."  I learned that I was wrong.  Prayer doesn’t start with us. Prayer starts with GOD.  This is what changed my prayer life.

GOD is the initiator of all prayer.
He Leads us to pray.
He Gives us prayer ideas.
He Stands on the promises that we pray,
     according to His Will. 

When we pray, we are GOD’s instrument. GOD is at work, whenever we pray. He Makes His Will known to us; so that we will ask for the very things He Longs to give us. GOD also loves when we pray for others. When we pray for others, GOD's Love is poured out upon them, as well.

~ Let Us Pray ~
Father GOD, 

Thank You that You will help me to pray, especially in my weakness, by the guidance of Your Holy Spirit.  May I continually remember that it is not my will to be done but Yours!

Father, as we live within the last minutes before Your Return, I pray that You will help me to share Your Word with as many people as possible.  So that none will perish, as You have said in Your Word.

I pray this prayer in the Name of Your Son, Jesus Christ! 

Amen
