Our Source of Strength in Weakness

I know there are days that you feel so weak, so worthless - I do. You may think how can my words, my prayers, change the chaos I see swirling around me. How can I begin to make a dent, a difference in the circumstances that seem so hopeless. But, the Lord, ever faithful in His promise and purposes for your life, He does not stand defeated. No, He is the lifter of your head and the source of strength in your weakness. The Lord provides the means and the energy you need to press on, walk through the fire, soar on the wings of eagles. Be ever grateful that in spite of our weaknesses, failures and hopelessness, He is all we need to go on!

My Precious Daughter,

Yet in your weakness, I am strong. In your perseverance to move through your circumstances and situations, I can work even the smallest of miracles.

Beloved, when you stand on the rock of who I AM you do not waiver, you do not fall. When you've stumbled from taking the wrong path, My hand is reaching out still to lift you up and set you on the right road. My Word says those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength. For it is in Me that all the power, direction and hope you need is given.

Today as you face obstacles, mountains, circumstances that seem insurmountable call on Me. I will be there - I have never left your side. Together we will conquer the giants, climb the highest moutntains and stand victorioious together over the enemy's plans.

Be of good cheer, you can count on Me.

I love  you.


Psalm 37:24 - Though they stumble, they will not fall, for the LORD holds them by the hand.

Isa. 40:29-31 - He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall, But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.

Winds of Change

As I sought the Lord's face for my family today, I was overcome with grief, not only for those who have set Him aside in their lives, but for those who do not know or have chosen to ignore or deny him altogether. But, today I cried out "STOP' once and for all! That the Lord would take a stand and move mightily in their lives. By His hand and my prayers, I am believing for my family's salvation unto the thousandth generation - a legacy of walking in righteousness and boldly declaring the praises of the Lord. That He would be revealed - yes, a new revelation just as in Ephesian 1:17. For the year 2011 will be the year of change, growth and life. That the Lord would restore what the locust has eaten and forever this family would walk the path to righteousness by the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.

The Lord is faithful to the cries of our heart. The response below is not just for me, but for all of us who cry out in faith for our families, friends, loved ones. It is time for us to stand up ... for He wants to prove Himself to redeem, restore and renew the faith of His saints. Let this be the cry of your heart and the response He gives you in the midst of your desire to see revival in your home, your life, your world!


My Precious Child,

I have heard your prayer, your cry for justice and life-changing movement. And, by your words and My hand I declare this to be the beginning of a new year of transformation for you and your loved ones. You have set in motion the army of salvation over your household.

Declare each day, dear one, the revelation of who I AM over those you love. Declare each day, dear one, the promises of life eternal over those whose lives touch yours. Declare each day, beloved, the righteousness, peace and joy which is their portion - your portion - because of My son's sacrifice on the cross.

Beloved, do not falter in this decree. Continue the battle on your knees. Much work is to be done, but there is victory - yes, victory ahead!

Be blessed today, dear one, as the winds of change sweep over your household and those you love. Your boldness, compassion and love for them will bear fruit in due time and the glory will be for the Lord God Almighty!

I love you.


Ephesians 1:17 - ... that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,

Joel 2:25 - So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, The crawling locust, The consuming locust, And the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you.

My Question; His Answer

Over the past several days, I have heard comments and had my own thoughts that caused me to believe this blog was not effective; the words I was hearing were no longer good enough, nor substantive. I even felt that perhaps I wasn't truly doing God's will. It left me, in my human state, discouraged and a little fearful about sharing my journal entries.

But, God is ALWAYS faithful - especially when our hearts are right and we are following his lead. So, as I questioned exactly if, and how, I was approaching the assignment I had been given was being met out with His approval, He answered me. And, while He and I are working on expanding and expounding on the way this blog is presented, I share this particular journal entry knowing that someone out there has a question about the direction their own life is going, and whether they are actually following God's leading.

Because we are all called, I pray this speaks to you today in your own personal situation. Be blessed.


My Precious Child,

Your faith and trust in Me are your most valuable assets. I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. I am your access to the Kingdom of Heaven, eternal life, forever in peace and joy. Hold fast to My words, My promises and use them to breathe new life into each day. Throw aside the grumblings and tenets of this world. The enemy does not want you to succeed, nor does he want you to heed the whisper of My voice.

Be bold, but gentle. Stand firm with joy on the foundation of My love, My sacrifice for your life. Do not stray, but tarry often with  Me. Trust in Me with your whole heart, and do not let what others say dissuade you from owning My truth. Walk worthy of your calling to promote My kingdom, change lives, save souls. By the words I give you, My glory will be revealed and I will be exalted in the Nations.

You are beloved to Me and a treasured jewel in My crown. I have prepared this day for you. Choose wisely , seeking My face in all situations. You are mine.

I love you.


John 14:6 - Jesus said to him, " I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me".

Prov. 3:5-6 - Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

Matt. 28:18-20 - And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, " All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen 

I Love You Perfectly

My Precious Daughter,

I love you.

My love for you is perfect, whole, complete, unconditional. That is why it is so easy for Me to forgive you. That is why My mercies are new each day. That is why My grace is poured over you in every situation. I love you perfectly!

I sent My son to earth as a babe, lowly and without honor or fanfare. I sent Him to walk as a man so you could know My love, so you could receive My love. I sent Him to save you from the pitfalls of life, the plans of the enemy, from yourself.

He gave His life so that you could be set free. So that My complete, whole, perfect unconditional love would be more available, more real, more tangible and ever present in your life. I sent Him so that you could know the heart of who I truly am.

Beloved daughter, each day is a gift to you. Put the past behind you - it is gone. Hope for the future - it is in front of you. Live for this day - it is now and I hold all of it in My hand.

Embrace My mercy, My grace, dear one. Stand on My promises. Hope for your future. Live with joy in your heart today. It is My gift to you.

I love you.


Psalm 36:5 - Your mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

Luke 2:11-12 - Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."

The Great Architect

My Precious Daughter,

You are My beloved daughter. You are loved dearly, not just by others in your life, but by your Heavenly Father. I marvel at your growth and understanding. I delight in your presence with Me each day.

I have much ahead for you. I have much to reveal. The plans for your life have been drawn and laid out on a special table set aside just for you in My throne room. And, I, as the Great Architect, look over those plans each day. I am well pleased.

Walk with Me daily as I construct more and more of who you are. Hold tightly to My hand as I order each footstep. Incline your ear to My still, small voice as I speak of My love and the plans of promise I have prepared for you.

Today is a good day, beloved. A day filled with hope, direction and promise. I am by your side to guide you. Look to Me and all will be well.

I love you.

Call on Me, Turn to Me, Dance with Me

My Precious Daughter,

My beloved child, you have walked some rough and rocky roads. You have endured fires, challenges and trials. You have faced disappointment, sadness and heartache that you never expected. You have watched hope fade, dreams slip away and loved ones perish. Yet, in the midst of all this, I have been standing beside you. Through each circumstance I have walked with you, held your hand and even carried you. In each moment, at every turn I have been right there because that is My promise.

Beloved, not one moment passes that eludes My view. Not a single thought or utterance from your lips escape My hearing. Not a cry for help, a sob of sorrow or a pang of disappointment is outside of My comprehension. I know it all. I see it all. I walk you through it all.

And in those moments of great joy when your heart dances and your smile overtakes your beautiful face, I am there. When your heart races with anticipation and excitement. When your feet cannot keep still, when you spin, twirl and sing with delight, I am right there, too.

Why would I, the Lover of your Soul, want to miss even one tiny moment of your life? What could possibly cause Me to turn My head in distraction and lose sight for an instant?

There is nothing, nothing which can pull My full and complete attention from every detail of your life. There is nothing, nothing that wil cause Me to turn away, drop your hand or walk from you.

Dear one, today we walk together in everything you do. You have My complete attention, all My heart, all My love.

Call on Me for every need, turn to Me in every crisis and dance with Me in each joyful moment. You have nothing to fear for I am with you always.

I love you.


Isa 43:2 - When you go through deep waters and great trouble, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown! When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.

Rom. 8:38 - And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from his love. Death can't, and life can't. The angels can't, and the demons can't. Our fears for today, our worries about tomorrow, and even the powers of hell can't keep God's love away.

Out of the Ashes You Shall Rise into the Glory of My Name

My Precious Daughter,

 

How great are My plans for your life. How marvelous are My ways. Though the door you thought was yours has slammed shut, the end has not come. Though the plans you sought for gain have fallen short, My plans go on in great measure.

 

I know your heart is torn, disappointed and confused, precious one. But it is not the end. And, what you saw as the solution, the prize, the result to complete this past year's journey is not nearly as great as what I have awaiting you.

 

Do not mourn a loss that is not really so. Throw off your sack cloth and ashes. Rejoice and watch with wonder at the marvelous work I am about to do in your life. Rejoice, beloved. Put the past behind you. Walk into the light of My promise; My glory. All is well - even better than that. My plans are not your plans, My ways are not your ways.

 

Great and marvelous things lie ahead for you. Watch in wonder. Wait with anticipation. Rejoice and celebrate for I am with you, and I have worked all things out for good.

 

I love you.

 

 

Isa. 55:8 - My thoughts are completely different from yours, says the LORD. And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.

 

Psa. 86:10 - For you are great and do marvelous deeds; you alone are God.

In Me ...

My Precious Daughter,

Great and mighty works I have performed in your life, and many more do I have in store.

Beloved, when I sent My son, Jesus, to walk this Earth, He was a tangible example of who I am. His perfect, sinless life is what you are to strive for. His unconditional and righteous love is what you aspire to do. And, greater works than these you shall accomplish, my beloved daughter.

In Me your life has purpose and direction. In Me you can accomplish more than you can think or imagine. In Me your mustard-seed faith can move mountains. In Me you can cast down the enemies of this world and change despair to hope.

I am all you need, dear one. I am all everyone needs. Continue to place your hope and trust in Me. Continue to focus your gaze on My face when the world's chaos rages around you. Continue to walk upright and holy as I guide you each day.

You are My beloved daughter in whom I am well pleased. One day you will see all that I have accomplished through you. One day you will understand just how valuable, precious and beloved you are.

Your faith, your trust and your hope in Me will get you through everything. I will not let you down. You are beautiful and My treasure.

I love you.

All You Need

My Precious Daughter,

Holy is My name. Righteous are My ways. My glory fills My temple and all the saints and angels bow down to worship Me. I AM an ever-present, everlasting and all knowing God. There is none like Me in Heaven or on Earth. I  AM the true Source, the Creator. I AM your All-In-All. The only True and Living God.

This day, beloved, go forth knowing that I AM all those things and more. And, above all else remember dear one, I love you perfectly, unconditionally; and that love never ceases.

Whatever situation comes your way I AM with you. Whatever stumbling block may find it's way in your path I AM here to guide you. Whatever attack may find you I AM here to be your Shield, your Protector. Whatever fear, anxiety or worry may arise within you I AM here to be your peace.

As you take each step I go before you. As you breathe each breath, ponder each thought I AM here beside you. I will not leave you nor forsake you. You are safe, protected and loved. I AM here for you in all you do.

Be of good cheer and rejoice because of My presence in your life. I AM with you always.

I love you.

Your Dreams

My Precious Daughter,

How priceless are your words of thanksgiving. How immeasurable is your praise to Me. Beloved daughter, you are a jewel, a precious treasure and dearly loved by your Heavenly Father. Your worth is endless, and you are My delight.

Dear one, your dreams are My heart's desire to fulfill. Do not give up on those dreams. They are what makes up who you are. Those dreams have been placed in your heart for a purpose; My purpose. They are your hope, your future - a fulfillment of My plan for your life. When the struggles of this world overtake you, don't throw those dreams away. No, beloved, hold fast, for the hope that they bring will carry you through.

I love you, My precious child. I created you, I formed you, I knit you in the depth and darkness of your mother's womb. I know everything about you - every infinite detail. You are My masterpiece and My delight. Dream your dreams, the ones I have planted in your heart; and walk in the hope of the future I have planned for your life.

You are mine; I am yours.

I love you.
