“Occasionally the mountains that you climb are not easy to get over; it may take years to reach the peak, and to arrive at the place where the glory of my Son shines so brightly that all else is washed away.

Today, I set you free from the past. Today, I open the heavens to let my Son shine upon your soul, restore your mind, and heal your heart. Today you are free and forgiven. Today all things become new.

Today you can live in the power of my love. Today the past will haunt you no more.  You are forgiven and free. Embrace me, embrace my love and know that I walk closely with you to guard you in all your ways. There will never be a time again in your life where you feel alone and lonely for I am always near.  I will always provide and make a way for you.

Let your tears be tears of joy and thankfulness for your Father has redeemed you!  I have given you a seat of honor in my Kingdom. You are blessed, and you are free.

Live in the freedom I have given you for my glory, as well as for your joy.  May it be so because of Jesus, my Son, who is in you; the one who loves you most of all.”

“My child, it moves my heart when you desire to include me in your day. I desire to be first in your life. Our relationship is a special treasure and pleasure.

When your days are long remember that my plans for you will always prevail. Rest, knowing that I have your life in my hands and that my plans are for good, to bless you and to help you be a blessing to others. All the work that I have done in you up to this point is for something greater that I am working out in you.

Where others have disappointed you, I will not. Where you have been hurt, I will heal and bless. Where you have been lonely, I will make relationships. You don’t have to worry about what to do or how to do this by yourself, for I am with you.

It is not my desire to bring you pain or frustration. It is my desire to build your confidence in me, and your oneness with me. You are learning to see that I am greater, that my ways are higher, and my purposes are right and true for you. Choose not to worry or fret about the things which are in my control for I am at work to bless and fulfill your life in ways that you cannot see yet.

I see you and I see your heart. I see your desire to fully trust in me. Your faith will be rewarded, and many blessings will come as you humbly trust in me.  Your first priority should always be to focus on me and the fact the I am all knowing, all seeing, and all-powerful to move, to act, and to make a way for you in this life, in the time I have ordained for you.

Live free in me, live confidently in me; live with joy in your heart for I, who am greater, am working to draw you near to me. I will make you stronger and provide all of your needs according to my glorious riches.  I long to reveal my plans and purposes for your life as you remain open to me, and in faithful trust understand that your life is hidden safely in me.

You are mine and I love you with perfect love, unlike no other. Live peacefully, take comfort in my presence with you today and always.  I am faithful, and what I say will come to pass.”

“But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations”.   Psalms 33:11

 “Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.” Proverbs 19: 21

 “Set your minds on thing above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.” Colossians 3:2-3

“Sometimes in the stillness of the morning it is good to just be quiet.  In quietness and trust is your strength.  I am in the wind. I am in the air you breathe. I am all around you. It is your choice to breathe me into your life, your actions, and decisions, but it all starts with an awareness of my presence in the silence around you.

Soak in the silence; bask in the glow of my presence; feel the light of my love as it pours over you. Receive my Spirit, abide in me, and know my great peace today.  I love you my child.”

Isaiah 30:15 “This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says: “In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength…”

“Sometimes things grow from the doing, not simply because you have a master plan. Remember, I am the Master, and I always have the plan.  You don’t have to fret about anything, just be open and willing. Do what you feel led to do, what is on your heart to do. I can bring something out of nothing and that something can be a beautiful work of art. I know this is what you desire so stay with me on your journey and we will accomplish it together.”

Psalm 20:4 – “May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed.” (NIV)

“When your focus is upon me, all the cares of your world find their place behind me. You can rest and find peace in my presence because I hold you in the palm of my hand.  Trust enables you to embrace dependency upon me. It frees you to experience the gift of my abundance when all is not quite as you’d like it to be.

I encourage you to let go of everything that is unimportant, those things that would hinder you from the freedom I’ve provided for you to live in.  Allowing your humanity, (emotional reactions of irritation, frustration, anger, humiliation, rejection, pride) to get in the way, makes it difficult to live above your circumstances.  Conversely, going against the grain of your humanity frees my Spirit to work in you to accomplish the greater purposes I have for you in those times.

Acknowledging me, in faithful obedience, will help you steer clear of little things the enemy uses to trip you up. Letting go of unimportant things enables you to see the good I desire to reveal in every situation. My way is always better, although in some instances, it may not be easier because it may be contrary to your feelings, and fleshly responses.

My Spirit searches your heart and examines your intentions. When your heart desires to do my will, my Spirit is released to provide the needs of the moment and you will receive the grace you need.

It is a difficult thing to teach yourself to respond to me first, rather than to your flesh. However, this is a goal I desire for all my children to obtain. It is the best way for you to live.

I desire that you be blessed beyond your flesh. This requires sensitivity to my Spirit, moment by moment, and day by day. Keep your focus upon me, and you will find me where you are. Abide in the blessing of my love for you are precious to me.”

Job 22:21 – “Submit to God and be at peace with him; in this way prosperity will come to you.”  (NIV)

 Philippians 3: 12-14 – “Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers and Sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” (NIV)

“Breathe, my child, for it is a time to trust me to provide all that you need for this day.  I am your source. I am your strength and I will help you as you look to me for provision. Let my river of peace flow over you in this moment so that you can hear me and know my thoughts for you today.

Do not be discouraged as you are doing good in the world around you.  My Spirit is upon you to help you, to guide you, and to make a way for you to be effective for me.  Your smile is needed even when it seems like people don’t care. Rest in me; abide in me; be who I have made you to be.

When I place you somewhere there is always a greater purpose for what you do. When you don’t feel like you’re doing much, you can’t imagine what others are seeing by your presence, in your witness, in your behavior. You are a person of peace because you walk in peace with me, and I am your Lord.  I am personal to you.

People are hungry for peace; however, they have a hard time knowing where to find it. Many are simply afraid to look to me because they do not understand what it is to have faith in what they cannot see. You must pray for closed eyes to be opened, cold hearts to be made warm, and closed minds to be made soft.

When others offend you with their language or actions, pray. For it is the enemy of your soul at work trying not only to discourage the one who is speaking, but the one’s whose ears are sensitive to such things.  The enemy only has the power you give to him to discourage you.

Stand firm and remain strong in me. You can do this wherever you find yourself. You are capable of multi-tasking when you exercise your spiritual muscles. Nothing is impossible for you.  Be blessed today for I love you and I am near to you.”

“You are my strength, I sing praise to you; you, God, are my fortress, my God on whom I can rely.” Psalms 59:17 (NIV)

“The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave your nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” (NIV)

“Remember that no matter how you feel miracles can happen as you look to me. For my ways are not yours, and yours are not mine. Anything that you don’t fully comprehend can be considered a miracle.

You don’t always see all the miracles I perform in your life, yet you know that I do. Sometimes your belief is based upon a feeling or a sense that you have; but for my children, miracles happen every day. Though you cannot see them, and you might not understand some of them, you must trust me.

The enemy is a roaring lion, but those who love me are protected in the Spiritual realms so that sometimes what is natural to me is unseen by you, yet you benefit from what I do for you. Faith moves mountains that you do not know exist.  I am your Father and I will always care for you.”

Job 5:9 “He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted.”

“There are times in your life when my peace must be enough; there are things that you cannot fathom or understand about my will and purposes.  That is where trust comes in and you choose to trust me or not. However, when you do, I will never disappoint.

You should not live in the fear of death. For my children it (death) is the pathway to eternity with me and life as it should have been from the beginning. When it comes to heaven, you see through a very dark glass because what is waiting for you is too amazing to be revealed now.

The greatest gift, that of being united with Christ, is the ultimate purpose and fulfillment of your life. I am coming for all my children one day; some before the end of time and some when time ends.  I am coming to each in their own way and my children must trust me.  Life is short, death is long; yet when you are mine and you set your sights on eternity, what will come to you will be more than you could have ever hoped for or imagined. This world is not your home. In the place I have prepared for you, your fellowship with me will never be hindered again.

There is joy in the life you have on earth so be optimistic and always look for me, for you will find me as you seek and pursue me. You can know abundance where you are; but always keep an eye toward eternity. Trust in me for all things, but particularly for the things you don’t understand.

Let it be well with your soul as I pour out my peace upon you.  Walk with me and talk with me and allow me to speak to you in my word, in my creation, and through others who know me and have walked with me. Don’t allow yourself to become too attached to this life otherwise your focus will be skewed, and you will not be able see me as I want to reveal myself to you.  You are passing through, not to, this life. Keep an eye toward the heaven I have prepared for you because it will be glorious.”

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” John 14:27 (NIV)

“Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes.  There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Revelation 21: 1 – 5a (NIV)
