HOLD YOUR PEACE, IT'S MY BATTLE

Do not fight this battle. It’s My battle, not yours. I say unto you, do not take this conflict onto yourself as if you are the commander-in-chief. I will I take you by the hand and lead you out of this mire. Deep inside you know that only I can deliver you.  If you will hear My voice and obey My commandments, I will give you such a great victory that you will be testifying about it the rest of your life. Even generations to follow will hear of how this battle was won by Me on your behalf.

I know that you are battle weary. These times have been difficult. However, you have not suffered to the point of shedding blood.  Come now and let Me remove the troubles from your heart. I will dry the tears, which you want no one to see.  I will hold you close, and you will see all your troubles fade away. 

Allow your love for Me to dissolve into blind trust. And when you have done this, you will find My door swinging open for you into a new realm I have prepared for you. I know you have not walked this way before, but I have, and now is the time for you to follow Me. 

Now take a deep breath and surrender to My leading. Be satisfied to behold Me as I win this battle for you

WHERE IS YOUR FAITH?

There are times when we encounter great difficulties that we question whether God will do certain things in our lives.  Things go from bad to worse; time is passing by, so we think about other possible solutions we will make just in case things don’t pan out.  We begin gathering our emotions, reaching out to others to ensure we are well-prepared for an undesired outcome.

However, when the Lord looks at this, it might be viewed as a lack of faith in His promises. God’s word encourages us to walk by faith despite the hard times we face.  Regardless of what the situation dictates, His word tells us to only believe, and that all things are possible if we believe.

Someone may be walking through a difficult time right now, and you’re preparing for what to do if things don’t work out.  Why not have faith and wait on the Lord, and EXPECT God to perform a miracle just for you?  He has not forgotten you.  It’s never too late for the Lord.  He’s never failed and never will.

EXCEPT THE LORD BUILD THE HOUSE

My child, whenever you’re feeling depressed and discouraged; whenever you’re feeling hopeless and filled with despair; do not give up and lie down in defeat. Lift your head up and recognize that you have been listening to the lies of the enemy. Do not let his lies be the bricks in which you build your house with. I ask you to loose yourself from anything that he’s been trying to give you and choose to use My word to build a house that will not be shaken.

WHAT WILL THEY SEE

Those who know that you belong to Me are watching you, and they are watching to see what a difference it makes to have Me in your life. They are watching you in the good times, and even more in the bad times.  They are watching to see if your love for Me is strong enough to keep you holding onto My word.  They are watching to see whether you will praise your way out of this situation, or if you turn aside and doubt that My word is true. What will they see?

Will they see a life of blessed assurance or will they see a life of regret? Will they see evidence that My Spirit is sustaining you, and transforming you, or will they see no change at all?  Will they see you filled with My glory and able to overcome all that comes against them by the power of My word, or will they see someone who is defeated; and does not know how to walk in the authority that I have given them? What will they see?

My child, the question is not whether they will see you as My witness; the question is; what type of witness will you be for Me? Will your words and actions be a blessing to My name, or will they be a curse? The day you surrendered your life to Me, you became My witness.  And you are My witness at all times; it's not a part-time job.  It’s a life of commitment, and it lasts forever. Will they see this in you?

I HEAR YOUR PRAYERS

I know right now you are feeling lonely and abandoned, and believe that I’ve forgotten you. You’re feeling this way because you’ve been waiting for Me to move upon your situation. Have I not said, “All things are working together for the good of those that love Me?” Everything that has happened in your life has been an opportunity for you to know Me intimately, and to remind you of who I am. I am a God of restoration. I have not forgotten you. I am always interceding for you. I have moved things out of your way that would have devastated you. I hear your prayers, have faith in Me.

In this season, I will pour out My grace, and My mercy upon you, and I will restore it all. I will restore to you that which you have lost, and the glory of your latter house, will be greater than the former. Begin to thank Me for the grace I’ve granted you. Begin to thank Me working things out for your good.

Take your mind off things in which you should be releasing to Me. Lift your voice to Me and pray with a heart filled with thanksgiving, knowing I will not leave you. As you come to Me for help, I will breathe new life into your wounded spirit. I will carry you in My arms and the brokenness you feel will fade away.  I will protect you; no harm shall come near you. I hear your prayers, trust in Me.
 

YOU ARE MY WORK

FROM DEVOTIONAL "WHERE PEACEFUL WATERS FLOW" 

Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

The work I began in you, I am sure to finish. Be confident of this. I love broken vessels; I love picking up the pieces. I am the Potter, and you are My clay.

My work in you began before you were born, surely I will finish it. Even now I am preparing you to fulfill it; nothing will be left undone.

When you stumbled I was there to pick you up, it was only a small hindrance. When you cried, I dried your eyes, not one tear was wasted.

When you drifted away, it was I who led you back. It was only a minor setback.  All part of My work. Yes, they may laugh at our slow progress, but soon they will marvel at the finished product. Oh how they will marvel.

I will complete the work that I have started in your heart, and I will take you to places you have never known. You are My work. No matter what happens, remember You are My work. Rest now we have so much work to do.

********************************************

I want you to know this day that God is not through with you.  Don't lay there and allow the enemy to convince you that it's over.  IT'S NOT OVER!! IT'S NOT OVER!!

You have only just begun to walk in the anointing and the prepared destiny that the Lord has ordained in your life.  

Rise up mighty woman of God and take your rightful place.   Rise us fearless man of God and lead the march into the enemy's camp and take back all that he's stolen from you.  

GOD IS NOT  THROUGH WITH YOU.  HE IS WORKING IT OUT IN YOUR LIFE.  DON'T GIVE UP ON HIM, HE HASN'T GIVEN UP ON YOU!

BLESS THE MINISTRY WITH A LOVE OFFERING

THE BATTLE IN YOUR MIND

There is a battle going on in your mind, and you feel as though you can’t win.  You don’t have to fight this battle alone, you have Me.   Please don't give up on Me.  I know you are on the verge of this happening.  I see your thoughts and I know what you are thinking. 

PLEASE, don’t allow the enemy to win.  I know what you are going through is very difficult.  And it seems as though good things appear to be happening to others, even those who don’t profess to believe in Me.   Remember it is I who makes the sun to rise on evil and good.  It is I who sends the rain on the just and unjust.  Don’t allow what seems to be happening to others to cause you to lose faith in Me.

Trust Me when I say your blessings are already on their way.  I know you can't make yourself believe this right now, but you must refuse to listen to the thoughts of unbelief when it comes to your mind.  When you believe your blessing isn’t going to happen, the enemy will surely cause doubt and unbelief to linger in your mind.  Then you will dwell on the bad and not the good I have done.  You will forget about all the trials and tribulations I brought you through.  I say to you rise up in the name of Jesus, take every thought captive.  Protect your mind with thoughts of Me and don’t allow the evilness of the enemy to enter in.  

I AM ALWAYS ON TIME

 

I am reminded of a story about the great evangelist Smith Wigglesworth. He tells the story of him leaving his home town to go preaching where the Lord had called him to go.  He knew many of his friends and family would be accompanying him to the railway station, and he also knew  he didn’t have the funds to pay for the train ticket.   As he was having a hard conversation with the Lord, God spoke to him and asked him to trust Him, and act as if he was going to catch the train.

So he went to the station along with his friends and family.  He stood in the queue for the ticket office knowing he didn’t have enough money to pay the fare.  Just as he got to the counter a friend came and pressed some money into his hand.  By the time he got on the train he had been given sufficient money for the entire trip.

He trusted the Lord, took God at His word and He came through for him just as He had promised he would.  In this very same way, as we trust God, He will always deliver what we need today.  Even though it sometimes seems to us that God is late, or comes at the very last minute, just know this HE IS ALWAYS ON TIME.
