Quiet Your Spirit, Be Still and You Will Hear My Voice (3.3.14)

Psalm 84:4 - Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah

My Child,

Don’t you know I have chosen and called you, 

and I will protect you every step of the way? 

Even when you walk through the fire and the rain,

I will be with you. 

So what causes you to fear this storm that is upon you now?

Quiet your spirit. 

Yes, you must quiet your spirit right now. 

And as you seek My face - remain still, silent, and wait upon Me. 

I will speak to your heart My will for your life. 

Yes, be still and wait for Me, 

and I will fill you with the wisdom and knowledge you will need 

for what lies ahead of you. 

Do not fear this storm, or any storm, for I Am in control.

Be still and oh so quiet; and you will hear My voice. 

If you remain in My secret place, I will keep you safe from the storm. 

I AM your refuge, your strength, a very present help in the time of trouble. 

My Child, draw near to Me, and never turn away. 

Be still and watch what I will do on your behalf, 

for I have placed you safely in the palm of My hand. 

I am your shelter from the storm.

Even though you can’t see a clear way 

out of these adverse circumstances, I can. 

The enemy wants you to believe all hope is gone. 

However, you must stand on My Word 

and know that I AM faithful to deliver you through every trial and tribulation. 

What the enemy meant for evil and what he meant to destroy you, 

will backfire on him and work out for your good, 

which is for My GLORY.

Oh be still My Child, for the winds and the waves
have been prepared to strengthen your faith

for the journey which lies ahead.

Trust in Me.  

When you don't understand what is going on in your life, 

trust that I do. 

Know that everything is part of My perfect plan and timing, 

for I AM stretching you in your faithfulness, 

so that you will trust Me, no matter what you see in the natural. 

So I encourage you to be still and quiet before Me, 

no matter what you hear or see. 

I AM in control. 

I will keep you safe from the storm.

Now be quiet. 

Shhhhh…. 

Yes, be still and quiet. 

Trust Me, I WILL DELIVER YOU THROUGH THIS STORM
______

 - A Prayer Confession -

 Heavenly Father, 

I thank you for delivering me through the storms of life. 

I know this won’t be the last storm that I will go through, 

but You have taught me how to stand on Your word 

and fight the good fight of faith.

You have taught me to wait for Your promises. 

I know You are my Deliverer 

and You will be with me in the midst of my storms. 

I know You will keep me Lord, 

and I thank you. 

Amen

Trust in God & Know, That He Will, Move Mountains (3.1.14)

My Child,
I am still GOD.

The same yesterday, today and forever;
and I have a divine plan and purpose for you. 

I see you have great faith, believing in My power, the miracles 

and the work that I do in the lives of others. 

However, I do not see the faith that you have 

in believing that I will do the same for you. 

Beloved, I am no respecter of persons. 

I did not die and suffer the pain of the cross, 

and then rise again for a chosen few. 

I died for whosoever shall call upon My name. 

And I want you to have faith that what I am doing for others, I will do for you. 

I want you to trust in Me and know that I will move your mountains as well.

The enemy is at work and will do anything he can to knock you down 

and make you believe that My promises aren’t for you. 

If you allow him to do that, he will think he has won the battle. 

It is up to you to believe in My goodness for yourself, 

and to show him that he cannot win.  And that the victory is yours. 

I have given you power and authority over the enemy, 

and nothing, shall by any means, hurt you. 

Now, with your feet planted deeply in My Word, 

you have the authority to tread over the enemy’s plans, bind up his weapons 

and loose My promises onto your life.

So this day, call upon Me! 

Believe Me for that which you know I have promised you. 

Don’t give up the fight! 

Remember, that I am for you and not against you. 

Remember that I have not brought you this far for you to quit.

Remember that I want you to be victorious. 

For My promises to you will surely come to pass, 

so rejoice, for the victory is Ours.

Acts 10:34 - Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that GOD is no respecter of persons:

Luke 10:19 - Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

2 Corinthians 1:20 - For all the promises of GOD in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of GOD by us.

Don't Allow "Failures" to Stop You; Carry On God's Work (2.28.14)

Beloved,

There are things in your life, things you see as failures; 

however, these same things you see as failures, 

I will use as weapons against the enemy. 

I will use your so-called failures as weapons 

to tear down strongholds, principalities, and powers of darkness. 

I will do this so you can see that 

everything you go through has a purpose…to glorify My Kingdom.

Your wounds will be the tools I will use to set My people free. 

Just as every stripe I endured was for your healing; 

so will the pain you’ve gone through, 
be used to destroy the strongholds of the enemy. 

I will set My people free from the fears and injustices inflicted upon them.

I will never hold your failures against you, 

but I will turn all things around for My glory and for your advancement in Me. 

I am the Lord your God, who will never remind you of your sins, 

for you have a purpose and a destiny. 

Don't allow your failures to stop you 

nor hinder the calling I have place upon your life. 

You are precious to Me, My chosen one, and I love you. 

Be healed and carry on My work.

Romans 8:28 - And we know that all things work together for good to them that love GOD, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Hebrews 10:17 - And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

2 Timothy 1:9 - Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,

1 Peter 2:24 - Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. 

You're not at the End of Your Rope; You're at the Beginning of Hope (2.27.14)

Are you at the end of your rope?

I know you are going through some of the worst trials and situations of your life. 

It looks as if no matter what you try to do to relieve the pressure, nothing works. 

You solve one problem and two more appear. 

You are asking JESUS to help you!

You have rebuked the enemy until you are blue in the face. 

You have asked everyone you know to pray for you, 

but nothing seems to work for long. 
You are tired, beat, out of energy and 

you just can't seem to walk with the Lord like you used to. 

You cry out to GOD, and it appears that He’s silent. 

In fact, you feel like if one more thing happens…... 

Well, get ready one more thing is about to happen, the Lord has a word for you.

My Child,

All is not lost or hopeless; do not believe what the enemy has been whispering into your ear.  You are NOT the world's greatest spiritual failure! I am bringing you to the end of your own strength, so I can fill you with Mine. There is strength in your weakness, but I want you to rely on My strength, not yours.

I've heard every word that you've said. I've heard your thoughts. I never sleep and I will respond to your prayers and your cries; however, the problem isn't with Me. The problem is whether or not you believe that I have heard you. The problem is whether or not you believe that which you've asked for, that I am able to do. Do you believe this? If you do, then do not cry about it any longer. It is time to get up off your knees and start walking.

Yes, it is time to start walking in the Spirit, praying in the Spirit, and praising in the Spirit. You've been carrying your own burdens far too long. What you've been through has been painful, and it may feel like you are at the end of your rope, but you’re not. You’re at the beginning of hope. Renewed hope in Me. 

The way to overcome all that you're going through - is to surrender your ways, your plans and all that concerns you, to Me.  You must allow Me to lead you into the realm of the Spirit. It is time for you to move into My rest, and experience My peace and joy without measure. 

Oh, My child it's time for you to have peace and joy in your life.

If you will just stop fighting and let Me have the remote control, things will begin to move suddenly and smoothly. I want you to have a new beginning, for your season has arrived! You might not realize this, but at this very moment, things are happening that will amaze you. Now is the time for you to walk in the Spirit.  And know that nothing can stand against the presence and power of GOD.

Now, rejoice and say “My season has arrived. Bless me O GOD!!” 

Because your breakthrough is here!!!

Matthew 9:28 - And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.

Putting on the Full Spiritual Armor of God (2.26.14)

Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour - 1 Peter 5:8

satan vigorously opposes anyone that prays 
and he dreads our prayer life more than anything else. 

Do you realize there is nothing the devil dreads more 
than your prayers to our Father?  

One of his greatest concerns is to keep us from praying. 

He loves to distract us so that we will not have time to pray. 

The enemy laughs at us while we struggle, but when we begin to pray, 
he trembles. 

Never forget that one of the greatest thing we can do to worship GOD 
is to pray and fast.

Greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world. 

satan will flee from your life as you draw closer to GOD 
and as GOD moves in your life. 

Praying to our Father in Heaven is very key in this battle that we are in. 

We fight not against flesh and blood but against spiritual wickedness in all places.

- A Spiritual Warrior Prayer -

Lord GOD Almighty,

I desire to be strong in Your mighty power. 

Therefore, I will put on the full spiritual armor You have given to me, 

so that I can take my stand against the devil’s schemes. 

Continually remind me that my struggle is not against flesh and blood, 

but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of the dark world 

and against the spiritual forces of evil in all realms. 

I will put on Your full armor so that when the day of evil comes, 

I will be able to stand my ground. 

I will stand firm with the belt of truth buckled around my waist, 

and with the breastplate of righteousness in place. 

I will take up the shield of faith with which I can extinguish 

all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 

I will put on the helmet of salvation.  

The sword of the Spirit I will use, 

which is Your holy word. 

In Jesus' Name,

Amen

Praise GOD for his limitless power. 

Thank the Holy Spirit for being “in you” 

and for being “greater than the one who is in the world.” 

Confess moments when you have limited God’s power 

because of your doubts or unbelief. 

Commit yourself to living in the presence and power of GOD every day. 

Ask Him to make you more aware of His presence 

and His protection daily, and not to take Him for granted.

- Marilyn Chaney

Stand on My Word & Watch Your Blessings Come To Pass (2.24.14)

My Child,

You have endured much. 

Now is the time for you to come into

all that I had in mind for you, from the beginning. 

Your life is not happenstance. 

Every day of your life,

and every deed you have ever done, 

I have known since the day you were born. 

So calling upon Me with prayer will open My ears to all you desire. 

Your desires now are in alignment with My will for you. 

Search for Me and you will find Me. 

Cling to what I have promised you. 

When you stand on my Word, 

the things I want to bless you with, will come to pass. 

I love you and only want the best for you.

Jeremiah 29:11-13 - For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. 

For He is Greater than All of My Fears (2.23.14)

Quiet your heart before the Lord. 

Commit to Him those situations in your life that are difficult.

______

Lord Jesus, 

You said that in this world I will have trouble, 

but that I should take heart, for You have overcome the world! 

Hallelujah Lord! 

You are greater than all of my fears. 

You are more powerful than all the forces of darkness 

that wage war against my soul! 

You alone are Lord! 

May Your name be great and proclaimed loudly in and through my life!

Forgive me Lord, 

for the times that I do lose heart, 

and for those times that I am overcome by the world. 

Please intervene on my behalf before Our Father.

Dear Father, 

Give me eyes to see that my momentary troubles 

are achieving for me an eternal glory 

that will far outweigh them all! 

And may I be found worshiping You 

in the midst of the obstacles, challenges, and trials of this life. 

Remind me constantly, by the Holy Spirit, that I am not home yet. 

Empower me to persevere and endure hardships in my life 

for the sake of Your name and the formation of Your character in me.

I acknowledge that You know all my ways, 

and that You will bring me through the storms in my life.

Refining me as gold. 

May the trials I face teach me to obey Your Word. 

May my faith be proved genuine and result in praise, glory, and honor to You. 

I confess that You alone are GOD, 

there is no other and I trust in Your name alone to save me. 

I rest in Your sovereignty and hope in Your name as I wait on You.

For You have searched me and You know me and everything about me 

- when I am still, when I am busy, where I go and what I do.

You know all my ways and every thought I have. 

Even before I speak a single word, You know it. 

There isn’t anyplace I can go, where You are not there.

Thank You Father,

that even the heavy darkness that seems to engulf me at times,

is as light as a feather to You. 

I praise You and acknowledge that every day of my life 

has been ordained for me by You. 

Therefore I submit myself to You alone 

and stand against the schemes of the enemy

in your son, Jesus’ name. 

Amen

Spiritual "Drive-By Shootings" (2.21.14)

We are all subject to spiritual "drive-by-shootings." 

We are in a war with the enemy, who simply wants to steal our joy, hassle our souls and afflict our bodies.  satan has a skillful strategy. he doesn’t come up to you and announce, "Hello, I’m satan and I’m here to wreck your life." No, he is usually more subtle and secretive than that. Remember, he first appeared to humanity as a snake in the Garden of Eden.  he has mastered his craft of deception, temptation and destruction with eons of practice. 

he knows we can overcome him by faith. So he focuses his forces against our confidence in GOD; against our trust in Christ, and His word; and against our self-confidence in our new identity in Jesus. his goal is to wear you down, so that you will throw in the towel.  he wants to bombard you with so many attacks that you will give up on GOD.

Have you noticed that GOD always lets satan go first with his attacks?  In other words, GOD will sometimes allow the enemy to attack you before He steps in. After satan attacks you, GOD will overshadow you and undo every scheme and attack the enemy has constructed. 

GOD will then restore everything that was taken from you, and give you 10 times more than what you had before. He will restore all that was lost. That's why when we endure attack after attack from the enemy, it is important not go give up on GOD, but to continue to push through in faith, knowing that GOD is not a man that He should lie. 

The enemy has been defeated, and has no power to hurt you regardless of what you are experiencing. Trust GOD and know there is nothing and no one equal to HIM.  Know that He has all control over everything.

Who can stand against HIM? 

GOD said, who is man that you are mindful of him? 

The enemy will try to use whomever he can to carry out his plans. 

But put your faith in GOD and know that He is JEHOVAH SHAMMAH. 

He is ever present with you!!!!! 

No weapon formed against you will prosper.
