Prepare for Your Season

farmer plowing fieldSeasons are to be prepared for, just ask any farmer getting his land ready. There is a time to work and a time to rest.

This is My Church’s time to work, to reach out, to give, to plant in others’ lives. You give out and I’ll pour back in to you. Generous hearts will never be needy.

The farmer’s work tool is his tractor. My children’s tool is to use their Bible. It has all you’ll need.

Don’t get weary. This season will reap a great harvest!

Influence

child reading the BibleEveryone will be influenced by someone or something.

I gave My Word that My children would follow it, be instructed by it, trust in it.

Be radically influenced by My Word.

What is impacting you? Are you being led by feelings of truth?

The truth makes you free; releases you from things that are false. The truth has the power to stop wrong actions, wrong words, things that destroy. But as an auto cannot run without fuel, My children cannot live successfully without My Word in them.

Read it, hear it, soak in it. It will influence your actions. And your heart.

Are there Giants in Your Land?

Self-doubt holds back more believers than any other enemy.

But 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’ll soon be on that mountain and not living in the dark valley. But know this, those whom I can trust in small matters will be leaders of much larger ones. Because 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?

Are You My Child?

Do you not know how I want to care for you?

But many times I must watch as My children struggle to walk alone. When you surrender to My will, when you repent and receive My free gift of salvation, then I will direct your steps.

You have only to ask and believe.

Many are deceived and don’t understand My love. My heart’s desire is to have a relationship with My children. The time is approaching soon when My church, those who know Me as Lord and Savior, will come home. Don’t let pride or stubbornness keep you away.

Come just as you are.

Come today, not next week. Today is the day of salvation. Can you trust Me? I will do all I’ve promised.

My Kingdom is forever and it’s for you.

You Are Not to Keep Score!

forest pathSo many of My children feel like they have let Me down, not done anything to please Me. The only way to let Me down is to not finish the race. Keep walking the path before you and it will lead you exactly where I want you to be.

Don’t rely on feel-good scorecards. Just because something feels good, it doesn’t necessarily mean it is good for you. Or that it is My plan.

My peace is what should lead you. Don’t go there is you don’t sense My peace in your heart. Don’t keep score for that usually means you’re looking at your past. Today is where you live.

Rejoice that your name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. That’s the only scorecard you’ll ever need!

You are mine, always.

Listening for His Voice

If we would have God hear us when we pray, we must hear Him when He speaks.

Rest in His love. Walk in His Way.

Faith–Walk Ye in It.

silhouette of people arms outstretched holding hands sunrise in backgroundI’ve given you My Word that you would know My voice, know My direction for your life. I know the plans I have for you, and I have promised to never leave you.

My Word never changes. It does not say one thing one day and something different the next day.

I say if you give, I will bless you. I say if you obey My Word, I will direct your every step. I say to not forsake or neglect the assembly of the saints to come to church.

My Word is My direction for you, written in Love. Your obedience is your gift to Me. It’s always your choice. Enter My gates with thanksgiving in your heart, come with an attitude of praise. I will lift you above all that the world would try to burden your with.

I love you and the best is yet to be.

How Is Your Relationship with the King?

Cherish them, repair them if necessary, but never let hardness of heart or being unable to forgive destroy relationships. Be quick to forgive and forget. And kindness and love will make for great results—always.

My relationship with you is My top priority, My heart’s desire. May this relationship grow stronger and more precious every day.

Live a live of great relationships and expect it as well.

Let My Peace Abide in You

Pain can bring destruction or revelation depending on how it affects your heart.

Pain can be a motivator or a destroyer of hope.

Pain can be used for good or defeat you into numbness.

Choice is always yours for even with pain, it must be surrendered. I didn’t create you to carry it. But it’s impossible to live in a world where there is no pain.

Pain can be a great teacher or convince you of what is valuable. Pain can be physical, emotional, or spiritual. But I come to heal ALL. And where that is not obvious, My grace will be sufficient.

Can you trust Me? Can you surrender all?

Pain cannot stay where My peace abides—in you.

Don’t Give Up

Rainbow over mountainsMany are healed or delivered in an instant, but most are peeled one layer at a time.

It is a complete work—a finished work.

When healing begins in the Spirit and by the Spirit, the enemy’s plan is stopped. Not just put on hold, but completely over.

Don’t pay any attention to what you see in the flesh. I never begin a healing without completing it. Only believe and speak faith, always.
