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.

TIME TO TURN THE PAGE

No, it doesn’t matter how many times you have failed and fallen; I will always be there to pick you up. Didn’t I say that if a righteous man falls seven times, he shall rise up again?  My word is true. Failing or falling is part of the process of growing and succeeding.  Therefore, instead of letting those stumbling blocks get you down; see those mistakes pushing you closer to reaching your destiny.  What matters to Me is for you to get up and try again.

No longer look at your failures of the past.  Instead, look at this day; this day that I have given you.  It’s a fresh start, a new page that’s just turned.  This day is your chance to start writing a new chapter in your life.  How the story begins is up to you?  Will you start your new day as a victim, allowing life to just happen to you?  Or, will you rise up victorious with Me and cause a change to happen in your life through My name?  It’s your choice; you can choose to rise up regardless of how many times you have fallen, or you can allow the strongholds of the enemy to keep you bound, and held captive in your past.

THE ROCK AND A HARD PLACE

Beloved, I see your dilemma; that you seem to be between a rock and a hard place. I say to you if you feel you’re caught between a rock and a hard place; choose to cling to the Rock.  Yes, raise your voice and cry out to the Rock.  I am the Rock of your salvation, refuge, strength and the Rock of your defense.  All other rocks and stumbling blocks will crumble under the power of My word.

When you feel the pressure of this world coming against you, come to Me.  Because, stress and pressure are signs that you need a time of restoration, guidance and renewed strength.  I don’t want you to crumble under the pressure of your responsibilities.  Rather, come to Me to be renewed and strengthened, so you can face the challenges with the assurance of complete victory.

IT’S NEVER TOO LATE

Let your faith come alive this day, and stop thinking that it’s too late.  Yes, that is what you’ve been thinking.  I know it may look like it’s too late.  I know it may sound like it’s too late, and it may even feel like it’s too late.  However, it’s never too late for Me. It’s never too late for Me to intervene on your behalf.  Remember, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. Therefore, don’t give up on Me. I haven’t given up on you, and I never will.  My child, I’ve asked this question before, and I will ask it again, “Is anything too hard for Me?”

Come forth, come to My throne boldly and make your request known.  Now, speak forth your desire.  This time I want to speak forth what you desire as a triumphant overcomer, not as a victim of life circumstances. Speak it for as one who has already received the answer to his prayers. Then stand in My name; stand in faith and see it come to pass. Walk in the faith that I have given you.  Believe what I’ve said to you; keep the faith, and know that it’s not too late.

Oh, can you believe that it isn’t too late?  If you can believe, all things are possible to those who believe in Me. My child, it’s time you recognize who I am, and know that I am with you.  Once you get this in your spirit you will know it’s never too late for Me, and you will see the impossible done in your life.

Read and Meditate on His Word:

Jer. 32:27 Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?

Mark 9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

Luke 18:27  And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.

2Co 2:14  Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. 

2Co 5:7  (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) 

2Pe 3:8  But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
