WHO WILL YOU BELIEVE

Dear one,

 

The enemy of your soul has been trying to make you weary, to steal away your hope, your joy,  and your future.  He wants you to believe that I have forgotten about you, and that your future will be dark, dreary and filled with nothing but hard times. He wants you to forget about all the promises I have spoken over your life.  

 

He wants you to base your sense of well-being on the circumstances that surround you.  He wants to grind down your hope in light of the difficulty and despair that the world faces. The enemy wants you to believe that you have accomplished nothing that you are worthless, and negative things people are saying about you are true.  He wants to tear down and destroy all the good things that I have been building in you.

 

But guess what My child?  What the enemy wants, and what I want and desire for your life are two different things.

 

THIS IS YOUR TIME

Your tears reflect how the lies of the enemy have caused you to believe the circumstances around you will never change.  You say things have become impossible, and you feel like screaming.  You think you've let Me down.  You’re frantically trying to put your life back together, but you don't know how to get back up.  It feels like everything is slipping through your fingers.

Stop, listen to Me and let these words sink deep, and speak new life into your spirit. Arise, My glory is upon you.  Don't hide anymore, let Me fight for you; let Me be your strength.  I know when your strength fails you.  I know when you’re feeling like the world is closing in around you and there's no way out.  I also know you've tried to be strong and you hid these things from the outside world. But there is nothing you can hide from Me,   My child, I know all things.

It's okay, let it go, I understand how you feel. I am here.  It’s time for you to rest your mind, and your heart.  I have a   plan for you; and I won't let you fall   The things that you think are holding you back are only making a way for My Glory.  These things that trouble you are not My reality.  Oh I know it feels so real, but even in this struggle, you cannot deny the flicker of My truth that pulls you back every time.  This is Christ in you, the hope of glory. 

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.

I AM WITH YOU, DON'T TURN AWAY

You have been feeling so alone. I see and feel the hurt and grief of your heart. Right now there is no one in the physical to hold you, no one to touch or who you can touch. Nothing could be further from the truth that you are alone. I have not forsaken you, I am there. I know I am not there with a body with skin and bones but I want you to feel My presence and know that I will never leave you.  Don’t listen to what the enemy is trying to tell you.  I never left you, I never turned away.  I am with you, and I promised to be with you always. I’ve never forsaken one promise.

Don’t turn away from Me, but cling to who I am.  Hold onto My hand.  If only you could see and experience the invisible you would see Me right there by your side, smiling and holding you affectionately just at the time when you need it.  Let nothing separate you from My love.  I want you to know that all is well.  Even though you can’t see it and may not feel like it, all is well.  I am with you, don’t turn away.
 
John 20:29 (NLT) "Then Jesus told him, "You believe because you have seen me. Blessed are those who believe without seeing me."

Hebrews 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

Romans 8:38-39 (NLT) "And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God's love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow-not even the powers of hell can separate us from God's love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below-indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord 

DWELL WITHIN MY SECRET PLACE

My Child,

  When you focus your attention on Me I will show you the distractions in your life. I will minimize the things that you don’t need to concern yourself with in this season. But in order to do that you must dwell in the secret place and abide under the shadow of My wings. This is where you will find peace, joy, love and protection.

  As you release all your worries over to Me, trust Me to carry all that concerns you for My love  flow freely over your life.  Watch and wait for My timing on all that is coming forth.  All the power you need is provided by the same Spirit that raised My Son from the grave. Yes, I have provided all that you need in order to do My will.

  As you dwell within My secret place you will begin to receive My provisions, and grow stronger in your walk of faith. My covering on you is all that you need.  Trust Me, rely on Me and stop trusting in your own strength and abilities.  Know the depths of My love for you. Believe that My power will accomplish your destiny for My kingdom, and supply all your needs
  Now come and dwell with Me in My secret place.
 
Psalm 91:1-4 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust. Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.


DON'T GIVE UP ON GOD, HE HASN'T GIVEN UP YOU

Have a Jesus filled day,
Minister Shearon

I WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU

 

I want to encourage you this day and let you know how much I care for you.  I am a God of hope and I have wonderful plans ahead for you.  Put your trust in Me and you will not be disappointed with what I am about to do in your life.  Child of Mine, I know what you need and I am the God who provides all that you need.  My desire for you is peace, hope and joy.  I have an abundance of good things in store for you.

The enemy of your souls seeks to discourage you.  He will do whatever he can to get your eyes off of Me and on to a myriad of problems.  He wants to overwhelm you and make your heart weary.  So don’t spend your time and energy listening to his lies.  Instead fix your mind on Me and allow Me to encourage your heart.

Let go of the things that pull you away from Me. Draw into Me, wait upon Me, and your spirit will grow in Me.  Then you will begin to see and  delight in the work that I am doing in your life. You will find strength and not grow weary, for I will sustain you.  You will find a melody in your heart, for I will cause your spirit to sing and I will refresh you in ways that you cannot imagine.

So lift your head up, be encouraged this day, and see that My plans for you are good.

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
 

DON’T GIVE UP ON GOD, HE HASN’T GIVEN UP YOU

I AM BREATHING NEW LIFE INTO YOUR VISION

I know that you are tired and weary and that you feel like there is no more strength or faith left in you right now to believe again in the words or the vision I spoke to you so long ago. I know that you have seen many false starts and then you what little came to pass seem to fly away before your disappointed eyes.  All that has left you discouraged and despondent, and now you find yourself too weak to stand up one more time.  But I want you to know that even now in your weakness and your inability you will see, I am still able to breathe new life into the vision that I have given you.

There have been times that you have felt like Joseph, waiting alone in loneliness and isolation, and even whispered "what's the use in all this?, it always just comes to nothing".  But I would tell you this day that I have wrought a death in you so that My new life can be breathed into you.My power and words can and will take you from the prison in which you felt you have been in to the palace in just a day.  

A CRISIS OF YOUR FAITH

I speak to those who are going through a faith crisis. Your circumstances are causing you to doubt if you have any kind of faith. I know it’s not that you don't believe in Me or believe My word.  It’s just that your situation and symptoms are speaking louder to you than your faith.  I want you to stop right now and consider recognize who I AM.  

I am THE GOD that created the Heaven and the Earth, and all that is there in.  I am THE GOD which created you and knows all about you.  There is nothing too difficult for Me.  Rise up and strengthen yourself in My word.  Resolve to trust and truly believe Me for complete deliverance  and restoration in this particular situation.  Refuse to allow fear to have any place or control in your life.   Let faith rule and reign in every circumstance.  Hold on to what you know is true... MY WORD, and I will hear your prayers and answer you. 

Don't ever forget that I am your stronghold, your fortress, your high tower.  Be strong and immovable in the faith of My word.  Then you will see My glory and be amazed at what I will do in your life, says the Lord.    

PRAY FOR AND CLAIM INCREASE

Get ready; good things are on the horizon. It is a time of expectations in the Lord. What has been next to impossible for you before will begin to be possible and likely. I am the God of increase. In all I do, and I seek increase for My children. Isn’t this also the desire of your heart, to bless and give to those you love the most? So turn loose now of the strings of poverty thinking, and be strong in the grace that is in Me. For you have been thinking of lack far more than thinking increase and plenty. It’s time you ask Me to bless you with a mind for increase.

Years ago you began to pray for your needs to be met with a little left over. Now I want you to pray for and begin to claim increase and overflowing. Let your giving match your expectation of Me. You house is about to be enlarged. Prepare to receive it.

Isaiah 54:2-3 (NLT) "Enlarge your house; build an addition. Spread out your home, and spare no expense!  For you will soon be bursting at the seams. Your descendants will occupy other nations and resettle the ruined cities."

Road To Emmaus

It’s the story that has captivated the imagination of generations. As described in the Bible (Luke 24: 13-35), two first-century travelers were joined by a mysterious stranger. As they walked together, the stranger explained the connection between the promises made in the Old Testament and the crucified Jesus of Nazareth. Soon, the purpose of Jesus' life became clear... and the travelers' sadness turned to great joy. Now you can learn what they learned... on the ROAD TO EMMAUS
