DON'T GIVE UP!


You_cant_give_up 

I keep hearing the Lord say, "Don't give up!"  I see the great effort that you have put forth to break through and come through, to be where I want you to be and to do what I want you to do.  The devil is doing all he can to keep you from moving forward, but I tell you, My people, do not give up.  Refuse to give in.  Rise up and determine to be strong and to overcome.  I have given you power over all of the works of the enemy.  Do not give up any ground. 

Soon you will see your circumstances will take an unexpected turn, so you must be willing to go with the flow of My Spirit.  This will take unusual focus and concentration on your part.  Quiet your mind and emotions, ready to move into the realm of discernment as you listen to My still small voice.  Refuse to allow minor disappointments to crush your spirit or keep you from moving through difficult circumstances.  I tell you that breakthrough is imminent if you will press on to gain the advantage and victory.  Do not become disheartened by adversity.  Keep pressing your way and your perseverance will serve to strengthen you spiritually…IF YOU DON'T GIVE UP.

So be strong, and go forth in My power knowing no weapon the enemy forms against you shall prosper.


Isaiah 54:17  No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD. 

Luke 10:19 "Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Romans 5:3-5 And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

*****ATTENTION MIGHTY WARRIORS*****

I WILL BE ATTENDING A CHRISTIAN WRITERS CONFERENCE FROM WEDNESDAY, FEBRAURY 27TH - SUNDAY, MARCH 3RD.  I WILL HAVE MY LAPTOP WITH ME, BUT I AM NOT SURE ABOUT THE WIRELESS CONNECTION.  THEREFORE, THERE IS A POSSIBLITY YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE THE DAILY WORD UNTIL MONDAY, MARCH 4TH.***

DON'T FORCE THE ISSUE

Careful_for_nothing

My Child,
Don’t don't you force the issue.  Wait on Me, and I will open doors and make a way.  There are things that you just can't push through at this moment.  You must be patient and wait for the right time before moving ahead.  Stay calm and methodically work your way through this current dilemma.  Anxiety and worry will not generate any solutions at all.  And don’t be concerned about what others are doing, or the things they have said.  You belong to Me and I am watching over you.  Be still and listen for my direction, for I will certainly guide you through these difficulties and bring the help you need to achieve the victory.  Put your complete hope and trust in Me.

Your breakthrough is closer than you realize.  I will make your latter greater than your former.  So don’t force the issue and try to make something happen.  Just relinquish all that worries you to Me.  Be patient, trust Me and rest in knowing that the right time will come.  And when it does  I will not disappoint you.  Haven’t you heard good things come to those who wait?  This is true for you at this time, says the Lord.

Ecclesiastes 7:8 The end of a thing is better than its beginning; the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

Psalm 37:34  Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it. 

Isaiah 30:15  For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength



I WILL GIVE YOU REST


FROM DEVOTIONAL BOOK "WHERE PEACEFUL WATERS FLOW"



Come_to_me_and_rest 
Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Come, come walk with Me and I will give you rest. Come and I will remove the burdens that you carry. Come and I will heal your brokenness. Come and I will give you peace and understanding, revelation and inspiration for these days.  Come My child and let Me breathe a refreshing wind upon your weary soul.

Indeed, I am with you and I am for you, and I will increase your faith. I will bestow upon you a revelation of the Father's heart towards you. I will demonstrate My love, My mercy, and My grace to those who believe. You have struggled, but I have watched over you; I have kept you safe. You’ve come through many trials and tribulations.  Your soul needs rest.  You have fought many battles in My name. Oh how I am pleased with the work that you have done.  You need to rest awhile, there are many battles ahead.

I have seen the difficulty of your struggles and hardships. You have endured many trials, but I tell you that resurrection life awaits you. The power of My kingdom will be demonstrated, and I will encourage and touch you to bring life into the weariness of your heart and soul. You must rest to be prepared for the battles that lie ahead.

Arise now and walk forth. Walk over the power of death and over the power of the enemy. The time of refreshing has begun, and the rain is falling. Now is the day of My power.

My Prayer Confession,

Heavenly Father, Thank You for the rest that You give my weary soul.  Lord You have delivered me through some trying times, and the refreshing that I feel right now is reviving me for the battle that lies ahead.

Like HAVE FAITH, YOUR ANSWERS ARE COMING on Facebook

Beloved, if you will release yourself from the bondage of doubt in difficult situations, and learn to trust Me in them, you will find that you are in the flow of resolution.  I have heard the cry of your heart, and the answers are forthcoming.  The light will shine and answers will come in unexpected ways.  No need to strive or worry; just rest in faith.  For even in the midst of uncertainty, I will open doors that will offer unexpected opportunities to do what you have never considered. 

Only trust Me and do not fear, and you will enter a time of greater sensitivity both in the spiritual realm and in the natural realm.  Refuse to allow discouragement to take you captive, and you will find a new level of freedom beyond anything you could imagine.  Be obedient to My leading, and stay in My word, for your answers are coming.  Have faith and know that I am with you and will be with you at all times, says the Lord.  Trust Me! 

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding


Lamentations 3:57 Yes, you came when I called; you told me, "Do not fear."

READY YOURSELF


Delight_yourself_in_the_lord


Ready yourself for victory, for breakthrough into new and greater things! You have not been this way before, nor have you seen what is about to unfold before you.  You have gone through too much and this outpouring has been long-awaited. It will exceed anything you have ever asked or thought of Me.

Prepare and ready yourself for breakthrough. Seek My face and climb higher so that you can get a good view of what lies ahead.  Blessings shall overtake you and you will forget what lies behind you. The former struggles and pains, they will have no longer trouble your heart.

My strength is rising up within you.  Arise in My power and might and be ready for victory! Ready yourself by praising Me in advance for what I am doing.  Refuse to listen to the enemy’s lies of defeat. Honor me and be like Paul and Silas,  sing songs of praises to Me as you come out of your midnight hour.  You are an overcomer. You are victorious. I have decreed it and it is so.

It’s time you READY YOURSELF

Acts 16:25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God:
Ephesians 3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

1 Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

THERE IS POWER IN MY WORD



Gods_word
 
FROM DEVOTIONAL BOOK “WHERE PEACEFUL WATERS FLOW”


Isaiah 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. 

Things might look as if nothing is happening in your eyes, but I am ever-moving, and working things out on your behalf. Many times what I am doing is unseen and unknown until it’s time to unveil it to you. If I let you see it too soon you would try to touch it, or help me out. And we all know what happens when My people try to help Me out, don’t we?

So, I work in the background, making all things from My will. Even at this hour, I am working. I know you can’t tell it, but I am. Many things are coming forth even as I am speaking; and you don’t even recognize them.  You wouldn’t believe some of the things that have just happened around you.  Little things that you take for granted, but important still. All that I do is for you, and for your destiny. Never doubt My ability to work things out.

Do not waver and don’t doubt. Just be patient and wait upon Me. Take a break from your day and sit at My feet. As you do, you will know My plan and My heart for the days to come. For I will always show those who wait upon Me. Take no thought for your course, as it is set. I have your life worked out, so fear not.
 

I WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU


He_cares


My Child


Didn’t I say that I would always take care of you? Then why do you think that allowing your heart to be filled with worry will improve your circumstances?  You must always remember I hold the future in My hands, and I know the end from the beginning.  All I need you to do is trust Me and follow Me. Knowing I will always lead you out of your difficulties.

Whenever you allow your heart to be filled with worry, you give the enemy of your soul to create the very circumstances that you fear. You invite him to lead you and control you instead of Me.  My child I have not forgotten you.  I have not been too busy to notice the difficulties that you face. But I have seen both your problems and the desires of your heart.  I am here to help you overcome your problems, and I will lead you to where you can fulfill your desires.

And when I lead you in a direction that you do not understand, do not think that I am doing this to hurt you.  I am leading you to avoid something that could cause you harm.  I am taking you by the best possible route to your desired destination.

YOUR NEW VENTURE

Good_things_are_coming

 

You have started a new venture and are concerned that after you have been working awhile you might give up and not push through before you have reached your goal.  You did that before and have that concern now.   You have sought many approaches to be successful. Listen, I say unto you, your work is not in vain, don’t give up. What you need to do now is to seek Me If you will seek Me with your whole heart at the time you are tempted to quit, you will not give up.  I will strengthen you and give you determination to follow through.

Then suddenly a door will be open up before you. You have been preparing for this time and it is time to quickly step out in faith and move. You will know what to do as I have trained you to follow the Voice of the One behind you.  All those simple actions and your being obedient to the things I asked you to do were for the preparation of this time.  

The key is to continue seeking Me with your whole heart. Keep your eyes fixed and heart focused; then trust Me as you step out.  Don’t be double minded, and forbid to let any doubt whatsoever creep in.  If the thought comes, dismiss it immediately and move forward with steadfastness, sureness and follow the Voice of the One who leads you into your new venture.

 

Isaiah 30:21 And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

Luke 9:62 Jesus replied, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.”

1 Corinthians 15:58 “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord.”

JUST BECAUSE


Dontmissoutontheblessing

**FROM DEVOTIONAL BOOK “WHERE PEACEFUL WATERS FLOW”**

Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. 

Just because you have not seen the provision I have promised you with your natural eyes, does not mean it will not arrive. I have promised you if you keep your eyes focused on Me and not the expectant provision; you will begin to see greater measures of My Glory in every aspect and area of your daily existence. Look to Me.

You are My chosen vessel of honor. I will not fail you in any way. The provision that you are waiting for is indeed a part of the fulfillment of My plan.  There is no need for you to delay in praising Me for its arrival. Praise Me now. Praise Me just as if you have already dispensed of it in the earth. Remember I said whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

So get into the spirit of praise for what I am doing in your life right now. I am calling you to be the very best steward, with faithfulness in every respect. The reward for your faithfulness is immeasurable, if you would but totally yield the whole of your thoughts towards Me. In the secret place, I will reveal the deeper plans and purposes that I have for you. Cast off all fear and come unto Me and spend time with Me. Allow My love to draw you nearer to Me. My love is perfect love, and it will cast off all fear, so that you can enter in.

And one last thing, just because you don’t see Me moving in the direction you expect Me to move in does not mean that I am not moving. Remember My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, for as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. All you need to do is trust Me and know that I will provide.

My Prayer Confession,
Heavenly Father, Thank You for reminding me this is a faith walk.   You have never failed me, and I am trusting and leaning on You all the way.  I know that delayed doesn’t mean that my blessing is denied. I can wait patiently for Your promises.  For I know You as my Jehovah Jireh, My Provider.

ROLLED UP

I_know_the_plans
FROM DEVOTIONAL "WHERE PEACEFUL WATERS FLOW"


1Peter 4:12-13  Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:  But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

Have you ever got up in the morning and went to the bathroom to brush your teeth before starting your day, only to remember that you forgot to stop at the store the day before to pick up toothpaste? You stand there staring at the almost empty tube thinking that you aren’t going to be able to get enough out of it to brush your teeth. Already running late, you need to brush your teeth before leaving the house; therefore, you have got to figure out a way to get the last ounce of toothpaste out of the tube.

So what do you do? You got it! You start rolling up that tube, so you can get more out of it. The container may look empty, but you and I know if we roll it up, if there is anything is left in that tube it's going to be pushed out.

ROLLED UP

STAND AND DECLARE WAR!

I_can_do_all_things1 

My warriors, this is time to press into Me. It is the time to get on your knees and seek My face like never before as you cry out to Heaven.  Say no to the tricks and schemes of the enemy and declare war! Stand and walk in faith, and know that I will bring you through, no matter the trials. .  Let Me arise in the midst of the battle and march forth. Declare war!

 

Declare war and expel darkness.  Stand firm on My word and put on the whole armor of God. Shout and declare that I am alive and My power and authority is on you.  This is no time to be a victim of life's circumstances or the wiles of the devil. You are a chosen generation, part of a royal kingdom, and I have established you with My authority to overcome.

No weapon formed against you shall prosper, for I am with you.  I am bigger than any obstacle that may come across your paths.  I have given you authority and boldness to speak to the mountains and defeat the giants in your life.  Now is the time for you to go forth in power to accomplish what I have set you to do.  I have gone before you to make the crooked places straight. I have already prepared the way, and the stumbling blocks and hindering forces have been removed.

YOU DON'T HAVE TIME TO TURN BACK

Good_things_are_coming 

Romans 11:29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. 

Luke 9:62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. 

 
I've said it once, and will say unto again. You can't even think of think of turning back now. Your calling and gifting I gave to you are without repentance. I haven't changed my mind about My choosing you. I am not a man that I can lie, nor do I make a mistake in whom I call. I knew this day would come, and you would be feeling like this. I have come to you now to let you know I am with you in the midst of all your suffering I am here, and you can't quit; I need you. Yes, I need you. I need you to finish the work.


Your wounds and pain have been speaking to you. I know your pain has become intense. It seems as though it will never quit, and you are ready to through the towel in, but I promise the pain will let up. Look at all the pain Moses, Elijah, Joseph, endured and how they wanted to give up, but at the critical moment I was there. I never left them, I was with them in the midst of their suffering; it was I who said ENOUGH, and pulled them out of the fire. It was I who said when they were ready. Then, and only then, were they ready move on to their next step in coming closer to Me.

So it is has become with you, you feel you are going through the fire, and you are ready to come out, You must not come out before your time. Pray on My child, and don’t stop. You are being refined; I am the one who will say ENOUGH. I know when you. are ready.  Now I say unto you, be careful that you do not heed the voices of the one who are seeking to discourage you.

TURN YOUR THOUGHTS TOWARDS HEAVEN

See_beyond_the_clouds


You have so much on your mind right now, your heart is heavy, and things seem to be closing in on you.  All that you hope and believe in is being challenged, and you’re wondering can you hold out.  I want you to know the faith that I have imparted in you is more than enough to move every mountain, and overcome any problem or circumstance that you face….if you will just believe in it.

 You have faith that will see you through to victory over every mountain and every discouragement when you act upon it.  Remember faith without works is dead.  Take your eyes off the problems and look unto from whence cometh your strength.  Turn your thoughts towards heaven and think on things above.  Reach inside and activate the mind of Christ given to you.   You asked for wisdom and I have given you what you needed.   With Me victory is assured, I will never fail you.

Refuse to stay where you have been.  Loose yourself from those shackles that are trying to hold you down.  If the enemy can keep your mind on what you don’t have,  and all that is going wrong in your life, you will never reach what I have waiting for you.  It’s time you shut him out, leave him behind and move to a new spiritual address.  We have things to do.
 
James 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.


1 John 5:4-5 "For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world – our faith. And who is the one who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God."
