Through prayer and gentle guidance we may truly make a difference in someone’s life. So speak kindly, with mercy and grace. Speak distinctly, as we mete out counsel to those we love, cherish, and adore.
Please don’t wait until a crisis arises. Commune with Him daily and seek His face. Plan, pray, persevere, for we are here today, tomorrow gone!
Trust must be the foundation in any relationship. No matter if it is in a marriage, a friendship, a business relationship – and certainly in your relationship with Me, your heavenly Father.
Love cannot grow where there is no trust. How can you trust someone who doesn’t do what they say – what they promise? My Word is My promise to you. As it is written, it will be!
Trust must be built on action. You cannot trust in someone who does not do what they say.
I promise to never leave you – and I won’t. I promise to guide your every step and light the path on which you walk – when you are obedient to My Word.
Can you trust – believe? Your decision will be your future. Trust in Me – not in anything in this world.
My love is not temporary, but everlasting – forever!
In the weather and in lives, there are times for rest and there are times to work. There are seasons to learn and others to teach. You would not wear a coat in summer or sandals in winter. Be wise and a good example to others. Be content and trust in Me.
Seasons have a time span – a beginning and an end. They have an order – spring always follows winter. That has been set in place to never change.
Rest in My care – My provision. Even when your life seems like it’s barren and cold, like dark winter days, spring will always come. The ground must give way for new life to come forth. How much dearer and more important your life is to Me.
Have hope. Live with expectancy. Know that a change is coming – and it is good.
My love for you will never vary, never change, never end – no matter the season.
Good behavior is always rewarded–maybe not immediately. Choices (whether good or bad) will determine your life.
To be saved is a choice – the most important one of your life. My Word says, “Choose this day whom you will serve.”
It is a mystery why some will choose the wrong path, when the right choice seems so obvious. There are always consequences to all that you do.
When you are unsure of which direction to go – wait. Stop moving. Sometimes (most of the time) the answer will come if you wait.
Don’t worry about details that you cannot control. Pray and trust Me for direction. I love you and will never leave you: Nothing is impossible to those who have faith. Believe and know that I will do all I’ve promised. My promises are for you.
“Hear me! Every church without a prayer meeting condemns us; every Bible daily unopened condemns us; every promise of God unused condemns us; every lost neighbor condemns us; every lost heathen condemns us; every dry eye among us condemns us; every wasted minute of our time condemns us; every unclaimed opportunity for God condemns us.
Tomorrow may be too late. Unless we repent now unless we return and fire the prayer altars now, unless we fast and weep now, woe unto us at the judgment!” ~ Leonard Ravenhill, spoken in 1962
Light.
Nothing can grow without it. It reveals things that darkness hides. When a seed is placed in the dark earth, it grows to reach the light above it.
Becoming born again is stepping out of the darkness into His marvelous Light. It means nothing hidden. Lies and deception hide in dark, but truth and love live in the Light. Decide to live in the Light where all things grow.
My Word is truth. It will bring Light and revelation, and faith grows there. All life will be drawn to the Light. Wisdom is constant when revelation comes. My Word will be as a seed that when cared for will grow strong. Plant it in your heart and fill your mind with it. Soon things that were not clear will be revealed to you.
Walk in the Light; don’t stumble in the dark.
Even in this time of great technology, things must be plugged into electricity to be recharged, filled with power. So must My children learn to be filled, rejuvenated by the power of My Word.
Going to church one a week will not sustain you all week anymore than eating one meal a week will sustain your physical body.
Discipline yourself to feed on My Word. It has wonders in it that you must tap into. Just as good food is filled with nourishment and the physical body responds to it with strength and energy, your spirit hungers to be filled with faith that comes from My Word.
Try committing to reading it every day and watch the results. An athlete would never show up to the Olympics without preparation. Can you prepare? Make a decision to grow your faith. Come and listen to what the Spirit of the Lord would teach you.
I have much to tell. Come and listen.
Lord, please bring out to the open what is hidden in secret.
Reveal that we all sin and so need a Savior.
Cover us with Your grace when our human frailty falls so short of all You’ve planned for us.
Let truth abound in this nation, in our cities, and in our homes.
May families give up their busyness and focus on loving those near to them.
Holy Spirit bring to our minds all we need to repent of, every detail. Nothing will hinder us from running into our Father’s arms. That the greatest of all loves might be embraced.
Worship begins with a heart of gratitude. When you are grateful, it’s easy to worship. When you step into worship, your heart is focused on another and not self. Worship puts everything in the right perspective.
I first loved you, and when you love Me, you’ll trust Me on every detail of your life.
Worship is the beginning of prayer. You’re acknowledging that I am your Father, and you know I will never leave you.
I have an awesome plan for each one of you. Don’t let fear or unforgiveness keep you from entering into worship. It’s a place that is holy. My presence will fill the heart of those who surrender all and worship Me.
Come and see.
Don’t be fearful or afraid to occupy the promises the Lord has given you.
Don’t just settle for less when you know the Father has more for you.
Self-doubt holds back more believers than any other enemy. Know this: When you know something is from Me and you’re obedient to step out in it, I will keep your back and bless you for overcoming that fear.
I say choose blessings or curses. They don’t choose—you do! Focus on My love and provision, and you will soon be on that mountain.
But know this, he whom I can trust in small matters, will be leaders of much larger ones. In times such as this, leaders must press on for the goal and not give up, ever.
Are you ready to go to higher ground?
