It is God's Will that You Obtain & Maintain Victory. Be Strong, Resolute & Dwell in His Presence Today... (3.13.18)

My Child,
Refuse to allow yourself to become weary while standing in faith, prayer, and warfare.  Read My Word and be reminded of the good things that come to those who wait on the Lord.  Seek My Face, dwell in My Presence and come into My Presence where you can be refreshed and renewed.

It does not matter what the enemy brings against you, you belong to Me. I in you and you in Me.  Greater is He who is in you, than he who is in the world.  I have already given you the power to defeat the enemy.  Therefore, continue to stand, resist his maneuvers and he will flee.  

Now is not the time to become discouraged.
Do not give up.

You are at the point of a significant breakthrough. So, press your way through and continue to fight through the opposition. Refuse to allow his tactics to overwhelm you or bring discouragement.  It is My Will that you obtain and maintain the victory.  Be strong, resolute and dwell in My Presence.  

So come, today, and dwell in My Presence. 
You will find everything you need in My Presence. 
In My Presence, there is fullness of joy and pleasure for evermore. 
In My Presence, I will revive you, and once again you will clearly
     see the visions I have for you. 

Do you have time to dwell in My Presence today?

My Child,

Come into My Presence, this day, and be still.
It is time for you and Me to come together in sweet fellowship.
Take this day and set it aside for just you and Me.

Release every burden and every disturbing thought to Me.
Give Me complete control this day.

As you dwell in My Presence, I Will comfort you and fill you to overflowing with My Holy Spirit; as I release healing and restoration into your entire being.

Have Confidence in God (3.11.18)

My Child,
The ways of the world have worn you down, and you have very little, if any, reserves left for yourself. That is why I Am not surprised to find you weeping in the midnight hours. the enemy whispered in your ear, told you your faith was weak, and that I Will not do what I Have promised you. he wants you to believe you were mistaken, and that you did not hear from Me. he is telling you to give up. However, you know that if you listen to him, I Will have no joy in that.

 

I Know the promise that you’ve been waiting for has not manifested yet. However, I want you to know what you seek is only delayed, it has not been denied.

I Ask you to trust Me.
I Ask you to patiently wait, with confidence, on your promises
     and be encouraged.
I Know the pressure has been strong, and the times have been
     so long at times, that you feel as though you just cannot
     do it anymore.

Nevertheless, just as I Was with Moses at the Red Sea, I Am
     with you - supporting you right now.
I Am working faithfully to bring you to victory.
Look up and rejoice, for I Am GOD, and I will keep My Promise.

 

I say to you again, trust in Me; and in doing so, have
     confidence in Me.
I Will show up.
I have not missed an appointment, and I never will.

Is Anything Too Hard for God? (3.10.18)

Faith Believers,

In Jeremiah, chapter 32, GOD says, ''Behold I am the GOD of all flesh, is anything too hard for me?" We must line up our words with His during the difficult times of our life, and say the same thing, 'Nothing is too hard for our GOD.'  Regardless of how things look, regardless of how hard the times are, we must say what the Word of GOD says, that “nothing is too hard for our Lord." 

How many times have we cried out to GOD saying, 'Lord it's just too hard...' Yes, it was too hard for me, but it wasn’t too hard for my GOD.  He has always, in His own timing, come through for me, and He will come through for you too.

The Lord wants you to have faith in Him.
The Lord want you to trust completely in His timing for everything.
This is not always easy to do because of our impatience.

We only have to stand on His Word and believe. 
Only believe. 
Only believe that GOD will come through for you in every area
     of your life.

All you have to do is remain steadfast and unmovable in your faith towards the Lord. And regardless of what happens keep declaring, "NOTHING IS TOO HARD FOR MY GOD," and believe it!

GOD will reward those who diligently seek Him. Be determined to live by every Word that comes from the mouth of GOD.   Nothing is too hard for our GOD. He is the creator of the Heavens and all that is on earth, and there is nothing you will face that GOD can’t bring you through,

Right Timing, Standing on God's Word & Simply Believing (3.9.18)

My Child,
You are believing and trusting Me for what you think, in your human mind, is impossible. And yet you also know that what you desire is according to My Will. You've even wondered if you have the timing right.

Listen to Me beloved, it is I Who placed these desires in your heart.
All things are done according to My Will and Timing.
The only thing you have to do is keep believing that I Will do
     what I said.
If I was not going to bless you with what you have prayed for,
     then I Would have taken the desire from your heart.

Stand on My Word and believe!!!!

Do not look to the left or to the right but STAND and BELIEVE!!!! 

All things are possible with ME!!!!

I have all power over everything.
On this day choose to believe in My Word, the Word of GOD,
     and watch how I will turn this thing around that
     you have believed Me for.

The Way Before You (3.8.18)

My Child,
Do not look at the thing that's in front of you as something to bring you down, or as another stumbling block. If you call it a stumbling block, then it will be. I know it’s hard, but see it as another opportunity for Me to be glorified.  See it as an opportunity to overcome, as a faithful soldier in the army of the Lord. When you face the pressures of life in faith, you will see that with Me, you are more than a conqueror, and that nothing is too hard for Me. 

In the past, you stumbled and fell because you tried to do things in your own strength and force the door open.  Doing this led to disappointment.  Now, you wonder if you can face what is ahead of you.  To overcome what you could not in the past, you must believe that I Am Who I say I Am, and be led by My Spirit. 

Trust that I know what lies before you, and that I know
     what the end shall be.
Take My Hand and face what lies before you.
Face it with faith and with determination. 
With My Help, you will be able to do what you
     could not before.

You will overcome.

My Child, when you move out in faith, you will know that I Am your GOD and that I Have prepared the way before you. Now, lift your head up and look forward to the way that is before you.

Step forward in faith, and soon you will see
     why I led you this way.
You will see that the road you have walked
     has not been in vain.

You will see I Have prepared the way before you,
     and I Will be glorified.

#ScriptureReflection - Romans 12 (3.7.18)

A Living Sacrifice

12 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.  ² Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Gifts of Grace

³ For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. ⁴ For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, ⁵ so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. ⁶ Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; ⁷ if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; ⁸ the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.

Marks of the True Christian

⁹ Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. ¹⁰ Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. ¹¹ Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. ¹² Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. ¹³ Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality.
¹⁴ Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. ¹⁵ Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. ¹⁶ Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight. ¹⁷ Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. ¹⁸ If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. ¹⁹ Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” ²⁰ To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” ²¹ Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

#ScriptureReflection - Isaiah 60 (3.6.18)

The Glory of Zion

60 “Arise, shine, for your light has come,
    and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.
² See, darkness covers the earth
    and thick darkness is over the peoples,
but the Lord rises upon you
    and his glory appears over you.
³ Nations will come to your light,
    and kings to the brightness of your dawn.

⁴ “Lift up your eyes and look about you:
    All assemble and come to you;
your sons come from afar,
    and your daughters are carried on the hip.
⁵ Then you will look and be radiant,
    your heart will throb and swell with joy;
the wealth on the seas will be brought to you,
    to you the riches of the nations will come.
⁶ Herds of camels will cover your land,
    young camels of Midian and Ephah.
And all from Sheba will come,
    bearing gold and incense
    and proclaiming the praise of the Lord.
⁷ All Kedar’s flocks will be gathered to you,
    the rams of Nebaioth will serve you;
they will be accepted as offerings on my altar,
    and I will adorn my glorious temple.

⁸ “Who are these that fly along like clouds,
    like doves to their nests?
⁹ Surely the islands look to me;
    in the lead are the ships of Tarshish,
bringing your children from afar,
    with their silver and gold,
to the honor of the Lord your God,
    the Holy One of Israel,
    for he has endowed you with splendor.

¹⁰ “Foreigners will rebuild your walls,
    and their kings will serve you.
Though in anger I struck you,
    in favor I will show you compassion.
¹¹ Your gates will always stand open,
    they will never be shut, day or night,
so that people may bring you the wealth of the nations—
    their kings led in triumphal procession.
¹² For the nation or kingdom that will not serve you will perish;
    it will be utterly ruined.

¹³ “The glory of Lebanon will come to you,
    the juniper, the fir and the cypress together,
to adorn my sanctuary;
    and I will glorify the place for my feet.
¹⁴ The children of your oppressors will come bowing before you;
    all who despise you will bow down at your feet
and will call you the City of the Lord,
    Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁵ “Although you have been forsaken and hated,
    with no one traveling through,
I will make you the everlasting pride
    and the joy of all generations.
¹⁶ You will drink the milk of nations
    and be nursed at royal breasts.
Then you will know that I, the Lord, am your Savior,
    your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
¹⁷ Instead of bronze I will bring you gold,
    and silver in place of iron.
Instead of wood I will bring you bronze,
    and iron in place of stones.
I will make peace your governor
    and well-being your ruler.
¹⁸ No longer will violence be heard in your land,
    nor ruin or destruction within your borders,
but you will call your walls Salvation
    and your gates Praise.
¹⁹ The sun will no more be your light by day,
    nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you,
for the Lord will be your everlasting light,
    and your God will be your glory.
²⁰ Your sun will never set again,
    and your moon will wane no more;
the Lord will be your everlasting light,
    and your days of sorrow will end.
²¹ Then all your people will be righteous
    and they will possess the land forever.
They are the shoot I have planted,
    the work of my hands,
    for the display of my splendor.
²² The least of you will become a thousand,
    the smallest a mighty nation.
I am the Lord;
    in its time I will do this swiftly.”

Rise Above Your Circumstances, Stand & NEVER Forget Who God Is.... (3.5.18)

My Child,
I want you to rise above your circumstances and your troubles; and renew your faith and confidence in Me. Do not give into what you see around you, instead continue to stand on My Word, believing that what you’ve prayed for will come to pass.

Stand believing that I will come through.
Stand and never forget who I Am.
I Am in control, and what I Am doing will work
     for your good, if you just trust Me.

This is the day of the latter rain outpouring, and I Am drawing forth My bride to do great exploits with signs and wonders following.

Rise up and do not give in.
Do not believe the enemy’s lies and refuse to allow fear
     to undermine your faith.
It’s time to rise to a new level of faith, and trust in Me.

So often you get stuck in your situations and they hold you down; when really, you should rise above the circumstance.  All you should do is ask Me to bless you amid the trial that you’re in, and allow Me to have My Way. Therefore, whatever you are facing today know that I Am more than able to see you through that which troubles you.

It is time to rise above your circumstances.

If you only knew the blessings I have in store for you, you would rejoice and lift up your eyes to Me, your Heavenly Father, offer a sacrifice of praise and watch Me turn your mourning into joy. 

You can never go wrong by choosing to praise and worship Me,
     in the midst of your circumstances.
This day, will you lift your face to Me, your Father,
     and acknowledge who I Am?
Tell Me you love Me and trust Me.
Ask for blessings and favor on your life this day. 
Lift your voice and say, 'O GOD, bless me today!'

Oh, how I love to hear My Children utter that cry!

Arise, My Child, arise! 
Lift up your head. 

Rise above your circumstances and the King of Glory
     shall come in.

Help During the Time of Need (3.4.18)

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 you from reaching your goal. he is out to distract you from the vision GOD has given you. If he can keep you focused on what he is doing, instead of what GOD has done for you, he will win the battle. And the more we talk about what the enemy is doing the more we glorify him, and not the Lord. 

It’s time we turn this around, and stop broadcasting what the enemy is doing in our lives and start praising the Lord for the victory He has already won. 

Yes, the battle was won when the Lord died on the cross and rose the third day.

~ Hear what the Lord is saying ~

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

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 come to Me, be still and listen to My Voice.  My Love and My Grace will keep you; and guide you from becoming depressed.

Soon the blessings that I have ordained will manifest and come into your life; and oh, how your heart will rejoice and be glad. I Am always working on your behalf, even when you think I Am not.  So much will be going on during your time of testing; therefore, you must stay focused and allow My Grace and Mercy to keep you, as I Work to bring things to pass in your life.

Even when it seems like the battle is over and you have been defeated, even when it seems like things will never get better, stop and recognize that your breakthrough is closer than you realize.

Never stop believing, never give up because it's not over until I say, “It’s over!” 

My Child, I Will be there to help you during your time of need. 

Therefore, do not give up, for the victory is already won.
