Whispers from God

“My peace is the current of my love, flowing over you, in you, and through you. It is a continuous flowing river with an endless supply of abundant grace for you to draw from. It is your daily resource, and the power of my Holy Spirit flowing through you. When you allow it to be the sustaining force of your life, it is all you need.

Your flesh may be resistant to stepping into this river. You may be afraid of the current because you don’t know where it will take you. The water may feel cold when there is confusion in your life and you’d rather stay where you think it is safe and warm.

I want you to fine tune your spirit to mine and be willing to jump in, no matter the condition of the current, knowing that I am in control and I will take care of you. If you are in the waters of my peace, if you are flowing with me, even when the current seems rough, I’ve got you. As you flow in the current of my love, you will not drown or be overcome.

Traveling with me is the way of peace. Stay in the river of my love and I will carry you through waters of discontent, frustration, loss, anger, sickness, or whatever it is, into the gentle pool of my comfort and grace where true peace for your soul is found.”

…a prayer…

Father, yours is the peace that passes all understanding. Help me to always be willing to dive in and trust you. Since the river of your peace flows through me, I should not be overwhelmed when I am drawn into troubled waters, for they draw me into you, and you will always show me the way through. Amen

“I have surrounded you with my love. You can see my provision for you every day. It warms my heart to bless you with my love, and to feel the exchange between us as you receive it.

Thankfulness comes from a heart that is full of love. It is the display of gratitude for your blessings. When you are thankful, joy is natural, and it exudes from your life. Others see it and it becomes a light of blessing to them as well.

When you live in joy simply because you know that you are so deeply loved, my peace sustains you and my grace infiltrates your life. It becomes grace that you are able to give away. As you give grace, you receive it all the more. It is a beautiful cycle of positivity and hope. As you abide in my grace, the beauty of living in my love becomes even more real to you.

Beloved, be love. The world needs love, they need the love you have to give. You are the vessel through which those around you may be loved…not the superficial kind of love that may be conjured up to try and please others, but the love that is poured out of you because of all the love that I have poured into you…the infinite, continual love that comes from me and flows through you.”

• Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them. John 14:21
• Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Psalm 23:6
• So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. Colossians 2: 6, 7
• Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. Psalm 118:1
• Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ. Galatians 1:10
• But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. Titus 3: 4-7
• My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. John 15:12

“My joy is your strength from day to day. It delights me to give you joy, to fill your life with meaning and purpose. I take great pleasure as you accept the plans I want to work out in your life. Your yielded spirit, and firm desire to serve me and submit to my greater purposes for you, enables these things to be accomplished.

There are many things I want to share with you. I want to open the windows of heaven, so you can begin to see glimpses of things to come. The blessings ahead will be like nothing you have ever seen before.

When I left the earth, I went to prepare a place for you, for each of you who call me Lord and Savior. You could not take it all in now.  However, as you allow me to become more and more a part of your life, as you look to me and submit your will to me, and embrace who I have made you to be, you will grow into the best version of yourself. You will be prepared and ready to receive the gift of eternal life which has been reserved for you in the kingdom of heaven.

I knew you before you were formed in the womb. When you received me into your heart and life our spirits were eternally linked. When this body you live in now passes away, your spirit will live, and you will reside with me. Who I created you to be when you were formed in the womb is who you will be in the kingdom of heaven—only there, you will be the perfect version of yourself; the completed vision of my creation for eternity.

There is so much for you to look forward to. With hope to propel you forward, allow yourself to continue walking the path of growth.  Develop your skills and gifts in this life, for they will serve in perfect harmony in the next.

Your spirit is not lost in death. The essence of who you are is in me. I will bring you into complete fullness of life as you allow me to continue to form and develop your personality and gifts in the present. Live in my love. Submit to me daily and receive my strength in all you do. Then I will take you as I have made you into the eternity I have prepared for you. Oh, what a glorious day that will be!”

• Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The Lord, the Lord himself, is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation. Isaiah 12:2
• The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him. Psalm 28:7
• My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. John 14: 2,3
• My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. Psalm 139: 15,16
• However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived”—the things God has prepared for those who love him— these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. 1 Corinthians 2: 9, 10

“My heart is delighted when you choose to draw near to me. I am deeply gratified that you embrace my love for you and that you want to learn from me. Dreams imagined can become dreams fulfilled as we walk together.

Though I am always with you, I don’t usually speak to you in an audible voice, so it is important to work on fine tuning your spirit to hear me in other ways. Sometimes it’s hard to hear me speaking as you go about your daily routines, particularly when outside influences are continually pressing in on you.

Finding balance in your daily life, between the world you live in and the Spiritual world you are a part of is a process. I will help you to understand how to navigate your way through it. This is part of the journey I call you to. It is not easily grasped, and it is difficult to do. Invest in this process wholeheartedly and rely upon my help. Over time, with growth and understanding, it will become more natural to you.

Ultimately, my design and plan for your life is so much more than what you do with it every day. No matter what you do, or how you feel about it, I want to bring you to a place of balance because it is an unparalleled way to live and to experience the joy of my presence with you.

Because of your humanity, finding me in your present circumstances could be challenging. Finding comes from seeking, and that is done with intention and determination. You will find rainbows every day when your eyes are open to the things I want to show you. Your life will be colored by the truths that I want to teach you so that you are empowered to live by the fulness of Christ in you.

With the eyes of your spirit wide open, I can satisfy you with knowledge and understanding. Breathe in sync with my spirit. Feast upon the encouragement of my word which nourishes and sustains your soul. You will find balance and joy in your journey as you continue to walk with me.”

• …let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. Hebrews 10:22
• Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Matthew 11:29
• Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me or seen in me—put into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. Philippians 4:9
• At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it. And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and ruby. A rainbow that shone like an emerald encircled the throne. Revelation 4: 2,3
• Surely you have granted him unending blessings and made him glad with the joy of your presence. Psalm 21:6

“You are loved so very deeply and in the quiet of this moment, I want you to reflect on the fact that you are known by me and you are a one-of-a-kind precious treasure. I understand your weakness. I accept you as you are, and I see that your heart truly desires fellowship with me.

When you feel like there is a void between us or between me and your prayers, you must accept that I am in the void. Though you may not have received the answers yet, that does not mean that I have abandoned you or forgotten your prayers. Your feelings don’t dictate my presence in your life. I am always with my children, I am always with you. This is a part of who I am that you must receive by faith.

The physical world you live in and the Spirit world you’re a part of are not the same. You see with your eyes, touch with your hands, and hear with your ears. This is how you know and comprehend the world around you. In the Spiritual world the natural elements are different. I am infinite, you are finite. I can be all places at once, you are in one place at a time. I see all, you see a very limited view.

Because you are mine, you get to see glimpses of my kingdom. Because you have placed your trust in me I give you hope, and by faith you accept me and all those things which are unseen. Your faith is the roadmap to me. Do not give up or be discouraged when you do not see your prayers answered immediately, or when the journey seems hard, long, and frustrating. My promise to you is that I am with you all the time and together we will get to the places you need to go.

Faith should not be based upon feelings. Feelings are fickle and fleeting. Your faith should be based upon your trust in me and your confidence in my love for you. You are precious to me. I go with you throughout your journey even when you may ‘feel’ like there is a void between us. Keep your faith in my love and trust in me always as you continue to follow me.”

• But because of his great love for us, God who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. Ephesians 2: 4-5
• And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. 1 John 4:16
• Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. Ephesians 1:3
• You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you…Romans 8:9a
• Faith is the confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1

“I have filled your cup with my loving kindness. All you need to do is allow it to spill over to others where I have placed you. Show concern, compassion, and your love for me by giving it away.

Keep judgement far from you for you do not know all that another person deals with in their life. Wear understanding like a garment and live in such a way that my love shines forth through you.

Don’t give up on doing good because as you sow kindness and love, you will reap the same. I will pour my blessings and love right back into you.  You will find your needs are also met as you willingly help to meet the needs of others.

When things around you change, you may rest in me for I don’t change. The steady supply of my love flows constantly like a river in your direction. You may rest in the power of my unchanging love for you and be assured that you will have the strength needed to face the challenges of each day.

Keep drinking from the cup of my loving kindness and you will find the refreshment you need to continue to serve me where you are.”

• Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Colossians 3:12
• The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.” Jeremiah 31
• For great is his love toward us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord. Psalm 117:2
• Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. 1 Peter 4:10

“Mountains can be beautiful to look at when you are living in a calm and peaceful valley. However, they may not look as attractive if I ask you to climb one. Some embrace mountains enthusiastically as an adventure, others see them as obstacles. I allow certain mountains to be obstacles in your life because there are things I want you to teach you. This is not to harm you, it is to help you.

I want you to learn to trust me fully, and to believe that together you and I can do whatever it is I am calling you to do. You are not alone once you have invited me into your life. I have promised to be with those who love me, and I will help you do what I ask of you. I will help you to conquer your fears. Because of my great love, you will not fail.

The mountain you face is for a season and you must trust my reason for allowing it. It is more important that you focus on the one who is leading you than on the mountain itself.

My plans are always going to be for your best and I will lead you in the right direction. Trust me as you step out on faith to climb the mountain in front of you. I am calling you to go with me on this journey. Are you ready? We can begin when you say yes.”

• In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him. Psalm 95:4
• Who may ascend the mountain of he Lord? Who may stand in his holy place? The one who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not trust in an idol or swear by a false god. They will receive a blessing from the Lord and vindication from God their Savior. Psalm 24: 3-5
• The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you or forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Deuteronomy 31:8

“Not everything you face in this life is going to be easy, but you must know that because you are mine, all things are possible with me. My Spirit does not depart from you in times of struggle. You can always connect to me because I am with you through all your days, in every path you choose to walk.

The key is to keep moving forward. There is a time to be still and rest, but you must continually set your eyes upon growth so that my plans can be accomplished in you. Don’t allow your mind to become stagnant or you will become set in ways that are not in your best interest and you will miss the greatest blessings I have in store for you. Your journey through this life does not end until I call you home. Be willing to go where I want to take you.

The struggle you are facing right now is the one that I want to work out in your life. When I desire to teach you something, you are never going to be able to put it on the back burner. That battle you face in your mind is because I am trying to get your attention. We cannot address the issues until you are on the same page with me.

Jesus walked a path that eventually lead him to the garden of Gethsemane. He knew it was his time, he knew he was going to face an agonizing and painful death. He was overwhelmed because he knew he was going to suffer in his body. Yet, he overcame the battle in his mind and allowed my will to be done in his life. He continued to trust me to give him the strength he would need to get through the suffering he was about to endure.

Since I was there for my son as he faced the most grueling ordeal of his life, I will also be there for you in your struggle—in your pain—in your doubt. You will overcome because He did. You will be successful because He was. You will rise again because in faithful obedience he showed you how to do the same.”

• He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. Colossians 1:17
• They went to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” He took Peter, James and John along with him, and he began to be deeply distressed and troubled. “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death,” he said to them. “Stay here and keep watch.” Going a little farther, he fell to the ground and prayed that if possible the hour might pass from him. “Abba, Father,” he said, “everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.” Mark 14: 32-36
• An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground. Luke 22: 43,44
• …for “Who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ. 1 Corinthians 2:16

“As you open your ears to hear my voice this morning, quiet your mind from all things that would come to distract you so that I can simply minister to your heart during this peaceful moment.

I perceive your spoken, as well as your unspoken, cares and concerns. I hear and receive the prayers you have prayed for those you love. They are carried by my Spirit from your heart to mine. My answers will come due time according to my will and purpose. My comfort is all-encompassing. My healing flows through grace and the unfathomable love I have for you and your loved ones. My joy is your strength and I am ever present with you.

My presence in all things that concern you is a miracle to hold in your heart. It will sustain and strengthen you in weakness. It will deliver you in times of trouble and despair. It will be the joy that allows you to keep moving forward and not get hung up on the past.

I am truly your source for everything and I long for you to see me as such, not only amidst great need, but in your everyday, mundane tasks. Allow my Holy Spirit to be your miracle in chaos and confusion, as you experience pain and hurtful things, in times of sorrow and loss, and in times of great joy. I long to bless you with the comfort of my presence.

I am God your Father, I am personal, I am real even when you cannot see me in a physical way. I want you to call me Father and to feel the warmth of my love surrounding you in such a way that you are carried from day to day on the wings of faith.

If you will embrace me and allow me to be the center of your world, you will see the bounty of my endless provision and blessings. I will faithfully make a way for you through each step of your journey and my glory will become the joy that sustains your life. Receive my hope and keep your trust firmly planted in me because I am good, and I will be good to you.”

• You have searched me, Lord, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Psalm 139: 1-3
• For hardship does not spring from the soil, nor does trouble sprout from the ground. Yet man is born to trouble as surely as sparks fly upward. But if I were you, I would appeal to God; I would lay my cause before him. He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted. Job 5: 6-9
• Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken. Psalm 62:2
• Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Psalm 23:6

“Though you don’t always see the path ahead, I lead you in the path of righteousness. I make a way for you in times of joy and challenge. Accept all these things for they are part of my plan for you.

Challenges may at times feel crushing, however, they can pull you into my presence and cause you to seek me with fervency for deliverance and help that you might be set free.  I use all these things to bless you so that you will see my hand of goodness and deliverance in your life. My grace is enough for each need and I will be your comfort and strength as you trust me.

The enemy may try to come against you when you are down. You must learn to recognize this so that you can cast him away. He will attack your mind and try to deceive you into thinking that I have abandoned you. He is the father of lies, the distorter of truth, and you do not need to give him a foothold in your circumstances. I have given you power over him because my Spirit is in you, and greater is my Spirit in you than he is.

As you separate yourself from the lies of the enemy, you will see the power of my Spirit at work. Your faith is your strength. Your trust in me gives you the power to overcome, to be healed, and to experience wholeness of mind and body. I am your source of healing and I will minister to you in times of trouble, and in times of physical weakness so that you will conquer your fears and come through the difficult way.

I tell you there is always blessing on the other side of trials and tribulations. Persevere with me for I am with you. Deliverance will come from me. My hand will move over you and you will again be restored as I lead you to the green pastures of joy and refreshment.”

• The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day. Proverbs 4:18
