EMBRACE WHERE I HAVE YOU

I know it’s hard being where you are right now. Everything within you is screaming, “Enough already. I cannot do this anymore. When can I move on from here?” My child, can you honestly admit that you are ready to move on? Is your heart filled with thanksgiving? Do you want Me to answer that for you?  You have yet to embrace where I have you; and until you can, you won’t be able to move on to the next level.

As I have told you before, everything that you go through as a purpose, and there is a purpose for where you are. You say to Me that you are grateful for what I have done in your life. However, your actions do not reflect the heart of one filled with gratitude.

Let Me remind you of another time when you were seeking Me for a breakthrough to a situation that held you captive.  After a season of praying about what you were going through; one day, you woke up and said, “Lord, nevertheless, not My will; Thy will be done. I just want to please you.” Immediately after you said those words, things fell into place. Strongholds were destroyed. The chains that held you bound were broken by a heart filled with thanksgiving for Me. All you wanted was to please Me, and nothing else mattered. Can you say you are in that same place now?

FILL YOUR HEART WITH MY LOVE

When you are lonely, why do you turn to so many other things in the hope that they will fulfill your needs? Yes, for a time they do. However, just as suddenly as they came into your life, they leave. Then you find that the loneliness is still there, it never left, just hidden for a season. Why won’t you come to Me? Why not allow Me to fill you with My love, so that you are full to overflowing with My love, and you won’t ever be lonely again.

FAITH IS YOUR WEAPON, USE IT

I hear the Spirit of the Lord saying; you have forgotten to come to Me in your time of need. Come in faith. Come boldly before My throne, believing that I will interact on your behalf.  Let faith arise in your soul. Let it rise to new heights. Come and be renewed; come and be healed; come and be the child that I called you to be.  Come and walk with Me in a close relationship and be one with Me in Spirit.

Come forth, not as a victim, but as a victor. Walk in the land that I have provided for you. Walk in the faith that I have given you and cause it to move the mountains standing in your way. My child, I gave you a measure of faith, but you watered it, nurtured it, walked with it, and it is a mighty weapon.  Your faith is a weapon that will cause you to prevail in during hard times. Therefore, use your weapon of faith.

Come, get up from your place of stagnation. Come unto Me with the full assurance that I’ve worked things out.  Raise your shield of faith, and let a shout of victory come forth from your heart this day. This is your time; for the seeds which were planted in your heart are producing a harvest in your life. Now is the time for the manifestation of My promises to burst forth. So, come; come boldly in faith and expect to receive.

Read and Meditate on His Word:

Psa. 46:1, Heb. 4:16, Rom. 12:3, 2Co 10:4-5, Eph. 6:16

GET READY TO BE SURPRISED!

I am going to bring you forth into this new season with many surprises. The surprises that will come forth will bless you as well as others. However, don’t be surprised that the work of the enemy will continue to come against you. Don’t lose heart, and don’t give up on the path that I have prepared for you. Keep your eyes on Me and press towards the prize that’s waiting for you and be ready to receive.

Don’t try to get ahead of Me. Stay on the path that I have laid out for you, and you will be blessed in many ways. Oh, the abundance of My kingdom is coming forth in your life in ways that you have not yet seen.  Therefore, be encouraged, and don’t be disheartened by the things you’ll have to endure to receive the promises.  The temporary discomfort can’t compare to the blessings. So, please follow where I lead.

BE WATCHFUL AND PRAY

You seem unable to focus.  Too many things to consider and circumstances to deal with have spread you thin and worn you out.  This is no time to get bogged down.  Watch; pray, and gather yourself up. It’s time to prioritize and get focused on what really matters.  Remember, procrastination is your enemy, so do what you can to stay on top of the things that require your attention.  Be watchful; pray, and stay focused on Me, and I will give direction and wisdom so that you can stay on course.

TAKE IT BACK!

1Sa 30:1 – 2 And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire; And had taken the women captives, that were therein: they slew not any, either great or small, but carried them away, and went on their way. 

1Sa 30:6  And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.

1Sa 30:8  And David enquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all. 

1Sa 30:18  And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued his two wives. 

It’s easy for you to remember things, which were stolen from you, correct?  When you think about the things you lost; initially, frustration and anger rose within you, because you know satan is was at the core of the loss.  Now, that we know this, what are we going to do about it?

TAKE IT BACK!!!

BELIEVE IT TO RECEIVE IT

John 4:47-53 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.  Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.  The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.  Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth.  And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way.  And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.  Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend.  And they said unto him, yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.  So, the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house. 

Our situation today is no worse than what this father had to overcome.  And just like with this father, Jesus expects us to do something first before He responds to us.  He expects us to believe His word.  He expects us to walk by faith, not by sight.  When Jesus saw the persistence in this man, He said to Him, “Go thy way; thy son liveth!”  And the man believed his son was healed. He didn’t question; he didn’t doubt, he believed, by faith that his son was healed. This is the same response we must have in our lives today. We must believe what the Lord spoke shall come to pass.

John 14:13-14  And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it. 

We must have complete faith in what Jesus has spoken into our lives, then enter into a place of rest.   Resting on God’s word, means you believe it’s already done. Our faith in God should acknowledge the truth of God’s word even when there is no sign to prove it.
