Dreams come true...

My prayer:

Mighty God, I see you opening up new opportunities around me and I am SO EXCITED! It seems like you are about to accomplish all of the visions you showed me. It seems like we are about to network worldwide and be multiple lights to the world. It seems like we are finding favor with people and ministries all over the place. It seems pretty COOL! 

It is so awesome, I am scared a little that it won't happen. I am a little afraid that I will get my hopes up and never actually see it all come together. I know that is stupid. How many times have you told me I would see and be a part of the vision? Too many times to count. 

God forgive me for my doubt and for my lack of faith. Help me to do better. Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

I am the one who gave you the vision, why would I keep you from seeing it come together? It is a purpose and a plan that is for you. You don't have to watch this like a spectator. 

I need you front and center taking charge. I need you to use every skill I have ever taught you for me and for the Kingdom. 

I love you daughter and I know you can do this. Lead us to victory. Lead us to joy unspeakable. Lead us into the vision I have given you. You will find such great joy there. You will find such complete fulfillment. I am with you every step of the way.

Get some rest...

My prayer:

Amazing God, I am so tired tonight I can't keep my eyes open but I can keep my ears open to you. What is on your mind? What can I do for you? Love you so much!

What God Said Tonight:

Your mind is tired but full. It is hard for me to get you to hear me even though you are listening. 

I am grateful that you made it through this day and while I love that you want to listen, I don't need to tonight. I don't need to take your time of rest. You were studying the need for rest. 

Go get some of your own tonight. There is plenty of time tomorrow to tackle the challenges there. I love you daughter. Rest in the peace that I am looking out for you, now and forever.

Strategic plan...

My prayer:

My God. You have surrounded me with wonderful, faithful, supportive, loving people who hear and obey your voice. How did that happen? How wonderful!!! I love that the people you put around me are not super religious but are fully convinced that there is no other way to live than with you in charge. Real, honest, and amazing people. That is who you surround me with. I could not be more blessed! THANK YOU!

What God Said Tonight:

I have placed you in a strategic position among people that are a part of my strategic plan. There are no accidents. Spirit attracts like spirits. You have my Spirit in you and he calls out to his spirit in others. That is how we build a team, an army, for God. 

There are some great battles coming. It is not time for the final battle but there will be many battles to fight until then. Learn how to work together now in  a relative peace. Learn to trust each other now. Learn how to work toward a goal together now. You will be together for a very long time. 

I love you daughter and I will keep you protected but you have a great journey and purpose. It will require every single person I have put in your life. I love you. Go rest now.

Still water...

My prayer:

My God, I have no idea what to pray about tonight. Today was a great day of rest. I still struggled to get my thoughts right, but it was easier today than yesterday. Really, I just want to hear you tonight. What is on your mind?

What God Said Tonight:

Still water can be the evidence of calm or it can hide great depth and turbulence. Just because things appear unchanged and still does not mean that there are not great things happening just below the surface.

There are some days where you think nothing much happened but that is just because your vision is limited. You can not see far enough to know the impact that you have each day. Every word you speak, every thought you have, every act you take has great significance because you are my daughter and I have placed you in a place where people can see what it is to e a child of mine. 

When you smiled at the family on the trail today, you had an impact. When you got caught dancing in worship, you made an impact. When you fought to take every thought captive, you had an impact. You are the catalyst of many things that I want to do. 

I have a purpose and plan for every child of mine. Each child is a catalysts for their area. Be blessed and let me get to work.

Serving through the struggle...

My prayer:

Thank you God that I don't have to be perfect for you to use me. Watching you heal people today during prayer was phenomenal as always! You know how I love that!! It was difficult for me, knowing that I have been really struggling, I was thinking, who am I to pray? But you kept reminding me that it is you and not me that heals. And, you did!

I love you God. I love that you can use someone as imperfect as me and let be a part of your miracle. Thank you more than I can say.

What God Said Tonight:

You are anointed to pray for other people. I have shown you and trained you how to access heaven on earth. I have spent a lot of years training you and I will not let that go to waste because you are in a growing season. 

This struggle that you are dealing with is nothing more than taking you to the next level. You will not fail. You will come out of this stronger than ever. And, since we work on my strength and my righteousness when you pray for people, we don't have to worry so much about where you are at. 

Stay in touch with me. Don't lose your connection with me and everything else will work out just fine. I am your God and your guide. I am the strength behind you and I am the wisdom that guides you. You are my servant, my daughter and my hands and feet. As such, you are privileged but not perfect. I will never expect you to be perfect. But I will expect you to always try your best. 

I love you daughter and this time is one that someday, you will look back on and recognize the significance and the joy of the freedom that you are just beginning to accomplish. I love you. Rest now, we have more to do tomorrow.

Contradictions...

My prayer:

Amazing God. Why is it that some of the things that feel so good in the short term are the same things that can destroy us? That does not seem like the way it should be. Shouldn't good things feel good and bad things feel bad? It would make this life a whole lot easier! But instead, we have all of these things, like sexual sin, that start off feeling really good but can later destroy us and all these other things (like exercise) that hurt like heck to begin with but in the end do us a lot of good. 

Contradictions. Now that I think about it, there are a lot of contradictions in your Kingdom. Give up your life to save it. The last will be first. To be a leader, become a servant...just to name a few. So, what is the point of logic if reality is not logical? 

I am full of questions tonight God, hoping you are full of answers you can share...

What God Said Tonight:

The thing is, the answers won't help you in the way that you think they will. Understanding why it is the way that it is will not make it easier to live. 

I have given you all of the answers. It is in the book. 

I can help you live this life and understand the contradictions. If everything was completely logical, you would not need me. You are smart, I made you that way. You could figure it all out on your own if it was logical. The way it is, you need to rely on me. You need to lean on me and trust me.. Without that, would you need me? 

There are so many things that steal my kids from me. I don't want it to be easier for you to turn your back on me. I will always guide you and show you my way. I will always be with you. I promise, you won't ever have to figure out life on your own without my help. 

You have some specific questions tonight. Why is it that things that start out good end up hurting and vice versa. It is not as simple as you might hope. There are times when circumstances change so quickly, that we do not need the man we called to play a part. This is one of those times. You may leave. 

One thing you can always count on. I am your champion and I am always with you. Sweet girl, it will all work out, I promise. You are firmly rooted in me and you will go on to do great and might things.

Obedience...

My prayer:

Amazing God! Thank you God for your help. Thank you for keeping me safe and whole and making right decisions. Thank you for always helping when I ask. Thank you God for being you and bringing me through this latest test, complete and whole. 

God I thank you for your continued help and support. I thank you that you will never leave me or turn your back on me. I thank you God that you are never shocked, you are never surprised by the things I struggle with and you are always there to pull me out. 

What is on your mind tonight? I long to hear your voice,

What God Said Tonight:

My daughter, I am not sure you understand the significance of this season in your life. The fact is, you don't really have to understand it I guess, as long as you are diligent to follow my commands for your life. 

I know that at times it can be restrictive. There are times when you really want to do that thing I have told you to. 

Obedience is a sign of your trust of me. It is a sign that you trust me more than you do yourself to know what is best for you.

That is what makes obedience so beautiful to me. It is not that I need a bunch of drones following me saying "Yes sir..." It is just that it shows your love and trust of me when you do or don't do something just because I have told you. You obedience is a gift to me and so beautiful. 

Obedience has gained a negative connotation over the years, but that is not how I see it. I see as a reflection of your love and it is so beautiful to me. 

Disobedience cuts like a knife for the same reason. It shows a lack of trust. It shows that you think you know better than I do. It shows me that you are more interested in the world than in me. 

I thank you daughter for your obedience. It will pay off. I love you.

Help...

My prayer:

Incredible God of everything. I am a bit stunned God. I had no idea this would be such a battle. I had no idea the act of not doing something would be so hard. But, then again, that is always harder. Quitting smoking is a whole lot harder than starting smoking. Not eating that dessert is a lot harder than eating it...etc. 

Thank you God for not giving up on me and helping me to be the person that you have created me to be. Thank you God for favor on my life, even when I don't deserve it. Thank you God for this wonderful life you have given me which is such a gift, not earned. Thank you God for not giving me what I earn...that could be disastrous. Thank you for forgiving me for every time I fall short.

I pray for continued help, guidance, grace and mercy for everyday of the rest of my life. 

What God Said Tonight:

Can you hear me tonight? It may be hard with all of the thoughts in your head. Clear your mind a minute. Stop feeling guilty, stop worrying that an unguarded moment will result in your down fall. 

I will not let you down. I hear your heart and know you need help. I don't leave you alone to fight battles. Have I ever? No, I am here to be your ever present help in times of danger. I am here to be your shelter in a storm. I am here to guide you all the days of your life. 

You are about to see something broken off you that is harming you. 

I am your warrior and your guardian angel. I love you so much and I have every intention of keeping you precious and whole. I have no intention of allowing you to be harmed or marred. I love you with an intensity and a power that would frighten you if you could really understand it. It is because of my great love of you that I am willing to give anything to have you with me, forever. 

I am your God, you are my child. We are of the same one flesh and am your teacher. Let me keep you from the pain and from the results of the wrong choices. Trust me to know what your very best is.

Love, all the time...,

My prayer:

What if every child of God came together and decided to just love. Nothing else, just love all the time? Sounds like a cheesy commercial of some kind, but what if. Wouldn't that be amazing God? It should be possible, you made us from your love. How can we do any more or any less? My God I love you. 

What God Said Tonight:

Love is my nature. It is who I am and who I made you to be. You are right, if we all loved all of the time, there would be mo need for any other rule, law or delay in the promise of a new heaven and new earth.

Sin steals the ability to love like that. To love with all abandon.

You are free to love my daughter. I love you more than I can say. Share that love everywhere you go. you may not change the world but you will change everyone you meet.

I love you my sweet daughter. Go rest now. Let me love you and rest for tomorrow. It si a good day with much to do.

Temptation...

My prayer:

Perfect God. I am in a struggle tonight. There are things in this life that you have told me, that for my own good, I cannot have. I know this is true. I know that these things that I am wanting are not good for me. I know, that if I were to give into temptation, they would not make me happy and would actually make me miserable. I know all of that in my head and yet, it doesn't stop me from wanting them. Why do I still want things that I know are no good for me? I am usually a pretty rationale person. I am usually very logical. But, not tonight. Tonight I am sitting here wanting things that I know I should't have. 

Why and how do I stop wanting them? Thank you God in advance for your help. Thank you God for letting me bring anything and everything to you. 

What God Said Tonight:

It would not be called temptation if it wasn't tempting. Even my son was tempted. Do you think you are above him that you should not be tempted? It is simple. You know who the tempter is. You know his game. You know that he lures you into temptation with thoughts that it will be ok just this once. He tells you that you deserve it. He tells you that you are worth it and that it will bring you great satisfaction. 

He is the deceiver. He is a liar. He knows there is one area of your life that you are not satisfied in and he will work very hard to tempt you in that area. He cannot tempt you in areas that you are satisfied. There is no need there. But, in this area, the one where you feel deprived, he can keep coming at you. 

Recognize it for what it is and get your mind on good things. Get your mind on me. Get your mind on the promise that I have on your life. Get your mind on all the many things in your life that are fully satisfying. I will satisfy all of your needs and give you the desires of your heart but you must wait for me and  my timing. It is the best. It is the best for you for me and for the kingdom. 

Hang in there sweet girl. Resist the devil. You will be victorious.

Deep calling out to deep...

My prayer:

I feel so much peace tonight God. You are the God of peace. You have the peace that goes beyond our ability to understand it. I am at peace with you and at my home away from home. I am so comfortable here God. It is as if I have had a second home my whole life. Every time I visit here, it is like coming home. 

My home is with you. Anyplace that you are, it is my home. I bet if I turned that around, I would find that everyplace is my home because every where I go , you are with me. 

My home, my peace, my joy, my salvation, my healer, my blessing...it is all you God! I love you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!

What God Said Tonight:

Open a place for me in your heart and I am there. I am anywhere you invite me to be. I am everywhere, but you will not recognize my presence until you invite me in. 

I am so desperately waiting for my children to invite me in. Invite me into their lives. Invite me into their joy. Invite me into their troubles. I want to be a part of everything that you are. I want to help you with the struggles, celebrate your victories, enjoy your pleasures, I want to be a part of it all. 

I love you. Do you really understand that. Do you remember what it is like when you first fall in love with someone and you want to be with them ALL OF THE TIME? That is how I am with you. I WANT TO BE WITH YOU ALL OF THE TIME. I want to be a part of everything in your life. I want to know you and I want you to know me at an intimate level that goes beyond any other relationship you have. I want to know you at a deeper level than anyone else. I want you to know me at that same level. Deep calling out to deep, that is what I meant when I said that. 

I want to know you and you to know me at a level that is deeper than any other. I love you so much. I have waited so long for this time with you. I have waited so long for you to be ready for this type of relationship with me. You are ready now. Will you agree? Will you trust me? Are you ready for a new level? I think you are but  you have to choose. I love you my sweet daughter.

Why God created you...

My prayer:

Awesome and amazing God! It is good to be back in Israel! This trip will likely be different from the ones in the past but it is just good to be here. I always have so many thoughts when I walk where you walked. 

One thing I was thinking about today as I walked along the beautiful  Mediterranean beach. Why didn't you talk more about being at the Mediterranean Sea? I am sure you spent time there but the only sea I remember you talking about was the Galilee Sea which is really more of a lake than a sea. Maybe you did talk about it but I am not remembering? Paul of course talked about it but i can't remember you talking about it and I am forgetting? You do talk about being in Jaffa which is on the  Mediterranean  

I don't know. It is probably not important. It is just so beautiful to me. I would think it would have provided so many analogies. Well, I think it is pretty clear that I am coming up on more than 24 hours without sleep! My thoughts are pretty random. But, I want to hear your voice, here and now. God, speak to me, please.

What God Said Tonight:

I love being at the ocean with you. I love how you sing my praises to the waves. I love how you see it. I love that you see my power and majesty in it. I love that you see my purpose in it. That is what I love about the ocean, the sea. 

That is why I created my children you know. I love all of the different perspectives and experiences they bring to me. I love to enjoy things with you. That is why it is so hard and painful for me when people, my children, shut me out of parts of their lives. When you put me in a religious and somber box, we miss out on so much. When you keep me relegated to the church house, I miss you. 

Take me with you to the beach. Take me with you when you are out with friends. Take me with you to the movies. I want to enjoy life with you. 

Yes, there is a mighty battle that is raging and it will continue to rage. There are times to fight and to battle. There are times where somber and serious attention is needed. But sometimes, probably more than you think, I just want to enjoy you and being with you doing the things you enjoy. I love you daughter and I love the things you love. 

Rest well when you can. Until then, I will sustain you.

Exciting!...

My prayer:

Mighty and wonderful God! I know I say this a lot, but I am constantly amazed at how I can be facing insurmountable odds, much more than I can possibly get done, and then I pray, and you just take care of it all. Some how, Some way, everything gets done on time! You are the ultimate time management tool!

I love you God. As I get ready for this next trip to your home land, I am so excited to go back! I pray and ask for your traveling mercies, your anointing and favor on every aspect of the trip. I thank you for favor  with you and with man. I pray God for alertness and awareness to be a blessing everywhere I go. Thank you Jesus!

What God Said Tonight:

I am with you every step of the way daughter. This trip was my plan and my purpose for your life. I am with you every step of the way.

Do you feel the spirit of anticipation? Do you feel the air crackling with excitement? The angels are excited. I am excited!

I am your God. Let people know and I will open every door. I will make a way. I will pave the streets you walk on with opportunity. I have a plan to bless you. I have a plan to add and multiply in your life.

I love you daughter and this is a time of excitement and change. ENJOY every minute of it! These seasons don’t come around every day.

Riding on God's grace...

My prayer:

What an exciting and blessed life you have given me God! I am so grateful!! 

But, the truth is, even in the middle of recognizing how amazing this life that you have given me is, I sometimes get stuck thinking of the the dreams that have not yet been fulfilled. I get stick thinking about the one that got away. 

I know it doesn't do me any good. I know I should have moved on by now. I know it is ridiculous to look back and say "what if." What I don't know is why I still do it anyway. 

I love you God. You are beyond generous. Please don't think that I am not eternally grateful for you in my life because I am. I just felt like I needed to share this heart hurt tonight and ask for your help. I don't even know how to pray about this one anymore other than to say, please help. In Jesus name, please help.

What God Said Tonight:

Every one has that one thing, that one situation, that one thorn that is a part of their life and who they are. Sometimes the face of the thing changes, but it is the same thing. It follows you throughout your life. 

It is different for everyone. You remember Paul had his. Remember what I told him, My grace is sufficient. That is what I tell you tonight. my grace is sufficient my sweet daughter. 

This thing in this time has a purpose and a plan. I won't let it crush you. I will heal you from the pain. I will turn it all to your good. In the meantime, know that my grace is sufficient. Lean on me and I will carry you. Trust me and I will not let you down. 

You have come a very far way but you have more road to travel. You have more to learn. You have more to experience. You are not done yet. This, like every other thing in your life, has a purpose and I will use it to initiate such great things that you cannot even imagine. 

I am your God and I will never leave you. When you think about the one that got away, remember that I am with you forever and will never leave. When you think of what you don't have, remember all that you do have in me. Remember the years you spent hoping and dreaming and all of the things that have now been fulfilled in your life. 

Encourage yourself sweet girl and remember. I love you and I know this is difficult. I am here and I will take you through it, riding on my grace.

Dirty laundry...

My prayer:

Mighty God. I feel like I messed up a lot today. I didn't always say what I needed to say the way I needed to say it. I said some things that I probably shouldn't have said. I was more focused on me than I was on other people. I don't know if I actually helped anyone today...maybe the students in the class this morning, but I am not even sure about that. 

There was nothing wrong with today other than as I reflect back on it, I wasn't the reflection of you that I want to be. Forgive me God for missing the mark today and I pray for your help to do better tomorrow. All I want is to bless you and bless the people you have put in  my life. That is the heart and the core of everything. 

I love you God Thank you for second, third, billionith, chances!

What God Said Tonight:

Arrogance, pride, and self centeredness are the three top terrors of my people. Guard against them constantly. They will destroy you if you let them.

You were created to be a giving being generous and in relationship to the people around you. Understand that truth of who you are so many things become easier. 

I love you daughter and I am grateful that you bring me your dirty laundry. Consider it and you clean to move onto the next thing. I love you daughter 

Building forever...

My prayer:

Today was full of good news God! Success at work, prayers answered for dear friends, new ministry connection...I love living in your favor! You make everything so very GOOD! 

God I am so grateful to you tonight and I would rather listen to what you have to say than fill space with my words. I love you. What do you want to talk about tonight?

What God Said Tonight:

A healing is good. my healing is forever. A love is good, my love is forever. A blessing is good, my blessings are forever. 

Everything I have for you is for today and forever. I am the everlasting God and my gifts are everlasting. There is a permanence to what we are doing right now that I need you to understand. We are not building temporary shelters. We are building permanent homes. 

We are building permanent places of residence for people. We are building a Kingdom that will stand forever. There will be a day when there is a new earth and a new heaven, that is true. But we will build upon the foundation being formed in these last days. 

I am the master builder. there is no coincidence that when I came to earth I was a carpenter's son. I am the great builder. Builder of structures, builder of people, builder of Kingdoms and builder of worlds. I am the builder of the universe and beyond and these things that I build are forever. 

I love you daughter. Build some forever with me.

ALL things are possible...

My prayer:

God, today was rough. I wasn't sure I was tough enough at times. But, like always, you gave me strength to persevere. Fact is, with you, I think maybe there is nothing I can't do. Doesn't mean it won't be hard. Doesn't mean I won't fail before I succeed. But, in the end, because of you, I will succeed. 

There is nothing impossible for you God. All things are possible through Christ. All things. I have heard those scriptures my whole life, but I think for the first time, I can really believe them. I think for the first time, they are more than words. They are the reality that I can do ALL things through you! 

Wow. Thank you God.

What God Said Tonight:

I am your source and I am your strength. When you remember that, ALL things are truly possible for you. There is a world of possibilities that are opening up to you right now, tonight. This is the threshold of living a new life. This is the threshold of a new understanding. 

You will do things that you could not have imagined yesterday. You will see things that you did not think were possible. You will be witness to the miracles of me in this life and beyond. Get the revelation of the limitlessness of me and you will see things beyond your imaginings. 

I am your rock and I am your fortress. I will surround you and keep you safe. But, I will also expand your borders beyond what you see today. I will show you great and mighty things. 

I will do all of this because of my great love for you. I have loved you from the beginning of time and don't plan on stopping now. I am crazy about you and I have waited for this time together. I love you beyond measure and I will NEVER stop. 

Mysteries of life...

My prayer:

My amazing God. I am not sure how to put my thoughts into words tonight. I am in a place of awe. Sometimes, you bring revelation that when I say it out loud, it seems so very obvious; however, there is a new level of understanding in my spirit that cannot be put into words. 

I am experiencing that tonight in relation to the gifts and the anointing that you give each of us. You gift us each differently and wonderfully to accomplish your purpose in this life. then, we spend a lifetime trying to discover and understand those gifts and those purposes. If we are lucky enough to figure it out, then we spend the rest of our lives searching out those opportunities to use the gifts, the anointing, and accomplish the purpose. 

As I say, so simple when I write it out, but so mysterious and challenging to live it out. I love you God and I am grateful that you have given us each gifts, anointing, purpose and I pray that you help us to live it out for your sake and for ours. I love you so very much and I am all yours.

What God Said Tonight:

You have described the pieces of life well but you are wrong to think that it is a struggle. It does not have to be. I have created all life to come together into a beautiful package of variety and beauty. 

To discover your gifts, you only need to open them and begin to use them. To understand your purpose, you only have to ask and follow the desires I have put in your heart. To experience my anointing, you need only to worship me. It is not difficult. 

There are things in life that are difficult but this is not one of them unless you make it so. If you listen to me when I tell you who you are, you will not struggle in this area. If you listen to what the world says about you, you will struggle. The world does not have your best interest or mine. The world, who is caught up in sin and all that it  entails, only wants to see you fail so it does not fail alone. 

But, focus on me, hear what I say about you and you will no longer be confused. I say you are a royal priesthood. I say you are a child of the Most High God. I say you are a King and a Prince. I say you are more beautiful than rubies and gold. I say you are mine and as such more valuable than anything else in the universe. Listen to me, receive your gifts, and walk in my anointing to achieve the purpose I have for you. It is easier than you think.

God's assignment...

My prayer:

Mighty and generous God. Today was wonderful! I am so blessed. Your favor and blessing on my life is amazing. 

God, I am in a place of perfect peace tonight here with you. There is no worry, no stress, just peace and your presence. It is so good God. Your presence is so wonderful! You are so wonderful! 

I love you God and pray that my life be a blessing to you. Help me God to use my life and my time to bless you. Show me the ways that I can bless you. Show me the things that you want me to do. I want what you want God. I am all yours, now and forever.

What God Said Tonight:

I have an assignment for you, several actually. You won't have to struggle or seek them out. I will bring each assignment to you. I will not hide them. I will make it plain.

You only have to say yes when I bring it to you. You only have to trust me, even when the assignment doesn't seem glamorous or fun, trust me and say yes. You won't ever be sorry when you say yes to me.

I love you daughter

You are mine...

My prayer:

My God you are so amazing.. I can hardly believe how you so completely worked everything out today. 

Thank you for hearing my prayer last night. Thank you for taking care of every last detail of this day, including the ones that I didn't even know about. Thank you God for being such an amazing Father to me!!! 

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! God, what is on your mind? What can I do for you? How can I help with what you doing?

What God Said Tonight:

You are mine and I will always take care of you. That is really it you know. That is all you need to know. If you really understand that, if you truly understand that you belong to me and I belong to you, you will never fear or worry again. 

You are never alone. You never have to deal with the daily demons of worry and anxiety. You will not be spoiled but you will be blessed. 

You are a child of the most high God and you will show the world what that means. You are my billboard sweet daughter and I love you. 

Don't worry...

My prayer:

My God, Father who takes care of me. I really need your help for tomorrow. I try not to ask for help for this kind of thing too often. I don't ever want you to feel like I only come to you when I need or want something. But tomorrow, there are so many things that could go wrong and without your favor and intervention, it will be miserable, I will fail, and people who paid good money aren't going to learn anything other than how NOT to organize a training session. 

I am not entirely sure how I ended up in this position. You know me, I tend to overplan and overprepare; but everything kind of fell apart on this one and I need your help. I ask God that you find a way to work it out so the people aren't dissapointed and so we can have a successful training day. 

I love you God and I am so grateful that you are my Father, that you take care of me, and that I get to lay every burden at your feet. Thank you!

What God Said Tonight:

I love it when you bring me your worries. Worry doesn't do you any good Worry is a thief and a robber. Worry steals you time, your health, your peace and leaves you with nothing but bad health and no sleep. 

I am grateful that you come to me with everything. I never meant for you to live this life alone. I always planned we would live it together. A lot like we are right now. I have your back, I am with you, I will not see you fail. 

Blanket of love..

My prayer:

Amazing God of my heart. I love you so much! I mean, really, deep down, bottom of my heart, with all my soul, LOVE YOU! 

I live an incredible life because of you. I get to help people because of what you do in my life. I get to be a part of seeing you move in other peoples' lives. I get to see you do miracles almost every day. I get to see you take bad and wrong situations and turn them around for our good. I get to see you teach and grow us into better people everyday. 

My life with you is so blessed. You have created an open window to heaven in my life and I am so GRATEFUL!!! YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!

What God Said Tonight:

I want to wrap you in a blanket of my love tonight. I want to snuggle up with you, keep you warm, safe and covered. I want to surround you in the comfort of my love. I am your place of safety. I am your place of warmth and love.

I am always here for you, waiting to catch you up in my blanket of love. I am always here to wrap you up in my love. 

There are times for you to go out into the world, fight the battles and spread my word. But, there are times like tonight where I want you all to myself. There are times like tonight where I just want you to curl up with me and receive all the love I have for you. 

Nestle in my love. Tonight is for you and me.

Let the fire roar...

My prayer:

It is so GOOD to be back here with you God, at this time and this place! I loved the rest and the beautiful setting. I loved the time to relax in your presence. I loved the people. I loved the beautiful ocean. I loved the rain forest. I loved being unplugged for a whole week. I loved it all! But, it is awfully good to be back here, in our special spot, talking with you.

God, I am rested and ready for the next steps, the next level. I am ready for whatever you have next for me, for us.

Thank you God for rest, rejuvenation, and a fresh perspective!

What God Said Tonight:

I am a fire in your heart. I am a fire in your spirit. I have been smoldering, building up heat, waiting for you to be ready.

Now, we are here and it is time to let the fire rage. It is time to let the fire burn. we are about to see great and mighty things. We are going to see a cleansing change that will bring great revelation and great understanding of the full will of my my Spirit on earth.

I have been holding onto some things to release in the season and in this time. The time is here. You, my children are ready. Let the fire roar!

Shake us Lord

My Prayer oh God is that you shake us again, wake us up and make us men and women of integrity. May our thoughts and heart be pleasing unto you. As we face tests each day, teach us hear your voice and do what you ask. We are your humble servants, help us to return to our first love, you God! Bring us back to the first day you came into our hearts and we had an unquenchable fire. Restore us and make us new again.

In this world it is hard to find people with integrity, there are so many who just follow the masses. When one person breaks the law, the others do also, justifying it by thinking they did it so I can too. Where do you stand in this world lacking integrity? Do you notice when others are breaking the law, or bending the rules? Are you standing up in boldness for what you believe, or have you given in and joined them. God has given us his guide book to follow, and his Holy Spirit to nudge us when we stray from what's right.

I have given you my word, it is living and will give you the power you need to stand up against all temptation. My spirit will give you the courage to stand in the face of intimidation. When everyone around you is walking in a way that does not please me, you can choose to do the right thing. Don't worry about what others will think or say, just remember I am an all seeing, all knowing God. I know your heart as well as theirs.  Put on the full armor and stand strong, be the great men and women I created you to be. I want others to see me when they see you. 

Simplicity

In this world so full of chaos, we must force ourselves to stop and enjoy the simple moments. All the technology cannot match up to those simple times of worship, when we run into the arms of God as a little child. Have you stopped just to have a quiet moment with God today? How about sit and listen to the rain, or sit and watch a butterfly flit around? God is calling out to us saying- your life has become so cluttered and so complicated. Simplify by shutting off all the gadgets, tuning out all the distractions and just sit with me a while. I love to spend time with you, it's up to you to come and be with me. I won't force my way in through all you have going on. Until you are ready, I will patiently wait. Let's show God how much we love him today by simplifying our lives and have a time of quiet worship with him. He loves you like no other and is waiting for us to show him our love and appreciation.

Father God, I pray tonight that we will recognize how much we really need to stop and simply sit with you, to honor you for you are holy. You deserve so much more than we could ever give, my prayer is that we all will give more from our hearts than ever before. That our priorities get realigned with what is the most important thing, and that quality time with you.

Let it go

I saw before me a huge wall, strongly built, almost impossible to knock down. As I stood starring at the wall, I realized I had created it and I am the only one who can break it down. If I will lay down my offenses, forgive all who have hurt me and release any bitterness, then the wall will crumble. As I began to release everyone from the depths of my heart, I had to turn and run, for the wall was crumbling down. If I had not run away it would have landed on me. Can you imagine being crushed by the very wall you built? Once the wall came down there was a glorious light on the other side and as I got closer, I heard a soft voice say your free.

Be Free in Jesus tonight, release any and everyone and receive his greater peace. Lord may your joy fill heart, as this painful step is taken. Of all people you know what it is like to forgive great offenses, to release those who have caused tremendous hurts. It says in your word we must forgive and you will forgive us. Thank you for your grace and the strength to do what seems impossible. Praise to you almighty God! 

Fight for it.....

The struggle of many Christians....

Weakened by decay, all I see, all I hear have are those lost in a fallen world. Discouraged, broken, hurting, and lost. Filling the void with the things of this world. Feeling the pull I have become cold and hard hearted, allowing my self to lose hope. A lack of belief that things will change, they have been this way for so long. I sit feeling trapped, just wanting to be close to you and feel your presence. I feel as though I have failed you and disappointed you. Did I miss it, did I hear correctly what you had to say? I need to hear from you Lord, the doubts are getting stronger and louder. Is there a way to regain my faith and respark my joy?

Gods response...

You have allowed the cares of this world to creep in and quiet my voice. You have been listening to voices that are not mine. Shut out all the voices and the words that are not from me. Soak up my word, in a world full of famine, this is your feast. Be filled with my love and your joy will be restored. It's time for you to fight for what you know I have given you. Don't let go like those who become weak and stop trusting me. Remain strong, my grace is sufficient for you. 

A world of ants

Do you ever feel like an ant compared to God? We are so tiny in comparison, yet entrusted with a great purpose. The original plan- to all work together on the same goal, each unique, each special, each with a specific purpose. Sometimes we feel so unappreciated and insignificant, yet this is far from the truth. We are great in the eyes of God, small in size yet mighty in power. 

You must know who holds your seemingly tiny life in his hands, and you will no longer feel like an ant. Just a small and helpless creature wandering around in this life. Know that you have great purpose, there are people only you can reach with my love and shine my light upon.  I want to use you to reach others who are searching for more in this life.

The next time you go to step on an ant remember the times you have felt that small in this world and be encouraged, knowing it has great purpose, and it knows what it's purpose is. If you sit and watch an ant, it does not let obstacles stop it from completing it's purpose. It will go around, under, over, and even backwards just to get around what is blocking it. God has also created us to be this resilient, we are capable of finding ways around our obstacles and challenges. Sometimes we choose not to.

My Prayer...

God give us the resiliency of the ant, able to see our purpose and not allow obstacles and challenges to stop us from completing it. when we feel small compared to you, remind us who lives inside and the strength we posses! Go build what God has purposed you for!

 

Who is painting your life?

Father God, I praise you tonight for the talents you have given me. All honor to your name for making me aware of what you have placed within me so others can be touched by your presence and see what you have shown me! Awesome and powerful is your name- You are the creator of so many masterpieces and I am honored to be one of them. Thank you for the ability and the strength to walk out this journey with you as my guide.

Tonight you have shown me a canvas that was full of darkness and turmoil.  Then I heard you say this canvas is your life and I will paint you a new picture if you allow me to. The ugly painting then burned up and a new canvas appeared, it was blank. God began filling it in with brilliant colors, ones so beautiful it is difficult to describe them. Each time my mind filled with negative or worry some thoughts the painting turned to chaos and I heard you say change your thoughts, burn the canvas and start anew. Then God took my hand and I was painting with him moving my hand. There was a large river of  deep blue, and a tree growing along side of it. He reminded me that he is the vine and we are the branches. The tree then had a flame in the middle yet it did not burn up( just like the burning bush). This represented the children of God receiving his fire by being attached to the vine. He said anyone can change the picture on the canvas, I just need to guide their hand. If you are allowed to paint our lives the outcome is beautiful, yet when we take the brush and take control, a great mess is made. Thank you God for giving me a new canvas to paint the picture you had in mind!

Storm Dancers

Great and mighty God, I thank you that you are the peace giver and only in you can we obtain true peace. I praise you for giving us the ability to have the peace you give by just receiving it from you. There is calm in the storm because you are in it! I ask you to reveal all that you desire in the midst of the storm, don't let me miss whatever it is you are showing me. Glory and honor to you precious Lord of all!

 You have shown me in a vision Jesus Clothed in glowing white with a beautiful purple sash around him, blowing in the winds of the storm. Jesus is standing with his arms outstretched saying to all come unto me and you will have peace. As I approached Jesus he said only you can calm your storm, I can't stop it for what you must learn in the midst of it. However you have the ability to stop feeling the wind and the rain by just believing and receiving the peace I give. I then saw the storm all around me but I felt not the rain, or the wind, as if there was a force field all around me. I began to dance and praise Jesus for what he had given me, and suddenly there were many others dancing around me and praising God, the dry area grew and grew by the peoples belief, and we could see the storm all around us yet we remained dry and calm. I am with you in the storm, only you can calm it by learning to receive the gifts I give. Receive tonight, let go of all doubt, any hindrance and just receive.
