The rope...

My prayer:

I am getting excited God! You are clearly up to something and I can't wait to see what it is. I am a little nervous. I seem to be walking into a pretty volatile situation. But, I know that I am headed to the exact place at the exact time that you have planned so that can't be bad, can it?

I pray that your will be done God. That is really the only prayer request I ever need to make. Your will is perfect and your will is the best choice for any of us. So, I pray that your will be done in every situation, in every life, every day for eternity!

Thank you Jesus!

What God Said Tonight:

I am creating a cord of many fibers. I am knotting them all together to make a strong rope that will not break. 

The rope is my "church" and the it will save those who have fallen and need to be raised up. This church is not a place, it is not a building, but it is a unity of power through me. It is an agreement in faith for my will to rule on this earth. It is a consensus of thought that agrees with the mind of Christ. 

My "church", my family, my children are in  position and I am connecting them all to be the rope that will bring people in. I love you daughter.

God's frustration...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I need to thank you for the reminder today that the best way to have the life I want is to fill my life with people who are experiencing those things that I want to experience. It helps me learn and helps me have the faith that those things are possible. Funny how I can forget basic things that you have taught me and that I knew so well at one time. 

How do you put up with me God? You must get frustrated having to teach me over and over, having to forgive me over and over, having to provide, heal, redeem me. It must get old after awhile. Please don't lose patience with me God. I am very grateful that you are more patient, more kind, more forgiving, and more full of grace than I am. I am confident that I would not put up with me if I were you...now there is a weird way to think about it. 

Huh, I am pretty tired and I guess a little loopy. I better hush up and listen to you God. I bet it will be a lot more coherent! LOVE YOU DADDY!

What God Said Tonight:

We have all eternity together my daughter. Of course I will not lose patience with you. We are in this for the long haul. 

I only get frustrated when people stop trying. As long as you are trying, working to be all you can be in me, that is all I care about. I don't mind having to teach you things more than once as long as you keep learning them each time. I only get frustrated when you refuse to learn or refuse to try to learn. 

Seek me. I say that a lot because it is important. It is in seeking me that you will find your true path. It is in seeking me that you will find me. It is in seeking me that you will learn everything you need to know. 

And by the way, you didn't have to relearn anything. You just needed to be reminded. I will often remind you of things, that is easy. Remembering is the building blocks of your future. It is how you make right and better choices tomorrow than you did yesterday. 

Keep trying, keep seeking me and everything you need will be yours. I love you to my daughter. Sleep well.

Taking God for granted...

My prayer:

Mighty God! You are wonderful. It is easy to forget how amazing you are because you are so amazing all the time. I don't want to take you for granted. I always want to be in awe of you. God, there are so many people out there with inaccurate ideas of you. 

I pray that we see you clearly God, know you deeply, and NEVER take you for granted.

What God Said Tonight:

I like that prayer. It is easy to take for granted those things that are with you every day.

I promise that I will continue to show you and teach you new things. I promise that your days of learning are  not over. A life with me does not need to ever grow stagnant. I am the creator of the world and I know all things. I will never run out of things to teach and to show you as long as you are willing to seek me.

I love you. Expect me to shake things up once in awhile. Not only to see change but also so you don't get stagnant and complacent.

So beautiful...

My prayer:

So tired God. Two hours of sleep is not enough. Too tired to put thoughts together but never too tired to listen. I can't wait to hear your voice tonight. Usually when I am this beat, and I get completely out of your way, you come up with the greatest stuff. LOVE YOU!

What God Said Tonight:

You sparkle like silver and gold. When you get free of sin, you reflect my light and sparkle like precious metals and jewels. You are so beautiful when you are free of sin. When you allow my blood to wash you clean of all sin, you are more beautiful than you can imagine. 

I have created you in the image of me. When you were in your perfected form, before sin, you looked like me. You were glorious and so beautiful. That was stolen by sin. Your beauty was stolen by sin. 

But, I bought it back with my life and my blood. You have been restored to your former glory and beauty. You should walk proudly in that. You are not the person you used to be when you were covered in sin. You are now covered in my blood, washing you clean and making you ready. So beautiful.

Keep up the fight...

My prayer:

Mighty God, I want to see your glory. I want to see your power manifested in more lives. I want to live in the full manifested glory of your will and your power in my life. I want to see you do more in this time than you did in the days that you were here on earth with us. I want to see your people living the blessed and fulfilled lives that you want for them. I want to be in perfect obedience to your will. I want to live a life free of sin and sickness. I want you to be proud of me God. 

God, you have said that you will give me the desires of my heart. There they are. Please tell me if there is anything more I need to do or not do. Please tell me if I am doing anything to block it. I stand in anticipation of your magnificent glory!

What God Said Tonight:

You are in a battle within a war. You are a soldier in that war. You follow your commander's instructions because it is what you were trained to do and because you know the commander has a better view of the battle than you do. 

In the war, you will win some battles and you will lose some battles. You will wake up some days ready to attack and others you will have to force yourself into battle. Sometimes you think, "What is the point? I am only one person in this huge battle, this huge war. Does it really make a difference if I fight or not?" I am here to tell you it makes all the difference in the world. You  must keep up the good fight of faith for your own sake and for the sake of your army. 

You are in a fight for not only your life but for the lives of all of your brothers and sisters. Fight the good fight of faith, every day, every minute, every second of your life. 

We win the war, that is a given. But how you fare in the battle, the casualties and injuries you receive, the injuries your fellow soldiers receive will depend largely on how well you fight. Don't give in to discouragement. Don't give in to the ones who say it is not possible. Don't give in to the voice saying it is all too much and too hard. When I have I ever asked you to do something that I have not given you every last thing and ability you needed to do it? 

We are in this together and we are in it to win. I love you my soldier. Keep up the fight.

Bitter, discouraged and let down...

My prayer:

Mighty God. I want to come against bitterness tonight. Seemed like today was full of people bitter, discouraged, and feeling let down. It is so easy to get that way. Life is rough and every day there are so many things that can knock us down if we let them. 

God, I ask for your encouragement tonight. Remind us that with you in our corner, we can't help but win in the end. I pray God for hope that  will push out the bitterness and discouragement. I pray for mercy, grace and forgiveness that will push out the feelings of being let down. I ask God that you breath new life into us so we can be the people, the children of God that you created us to be. Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

Bitterness is a cancer that needs to be pulled out and killed at the root. The root of bitterness is almost never the thing that you first think it is. Bitterness has a way of twisting around so that it comes out at the oddest times. Search for that root. Find the root and you can get rid of the bitterness. 

Discouragement happens. I get discouraged sometimes. I once got so discouraged I wiped out the entire earth except for Noah and his family and the animals he collected. Talk about being discouraged! I had decided that everything I created was garbage and needed to be done away with. 

SO, don't get concerned when you get discouraged but don't let it keep you from trying again. Once I was done, and saw Noah and his family, I knew that I would never do that again and made a covenant with him and his decedents  What you do about discouragement is always a choice. Make the choice that gets you back on top of it. 

Then there is that feeling of being let down. That usually goes with the discouraged feeling. It will happen but if you trust in me, I will always come through for you. People may turn their back on you but I will be there and I will bring new people into your life. People may lie to you but I will always tell you the truth. People may hurt your feelings but I will comfort you. You have the people that you do in your life for a reason. When that reason is over, I will bring new people. Don't be angry with people because their season is over. Let them go knowing that I will bring new people for the new season. 

I love you so much. I will never leave you. Ever.

Desires of your heart...

My prayer:

My thoughts are really scattered tonight God. So many things going on, most of them good but just a lot. Life is so fast paced these days and I usually really like that. It keeps things interesting. But, I definitely need some down time to regroup and refocus. Thank you that I get the luxury of a Sabbath tomorrow! 

I am yours God for whatever you need me for and thank you for always providing the rest time with the assignments. Thank you for always giving me the strength and ability to do what you ask me to do. Thank you for this life you have given me. I love you God!

What God Said Tonight:

I will give you the desires of your heart. No problem too big no dream too weird. I will give you the desires of your heart because you have a heart for me.  It is easy to provide for you and to give to you when you have a heart that is after the same things that I am after. 

Remember to always love through it all. My love in you is the most powerful thing on the planet and will fight through the battles and shine on in victory. 

Love is more than emotion. Love is action. Love is tangible. Love is wrapping a warm coat around someone who doesn't have one. Love is wrapping your arms around someone who needs it. Love is patient and it is kind but Love is also a powerful weapon against evil. No evil  can stand against real, true, pure love. The enemy crumbles in the face of that love. 

SO, love on and I will continue to bring to you the desires of your heart...all of them. 

Paths...

My prayer:

Just when I think I know what direction you are headed, you switch things up. Life with you is EXCITING God!! I remember, before I was living my life for you, I use to think that living for you would be boring. I would have to give up all of the "fun" stuff. But now, just keeping up with you and all you are doing and all you want me to do keeps my head spinning. And it is ALL fun stuff!

Thank you for understanding my weaknesses and protecting me from myself. I am ready to go God! Let's do it!

What God Said Tonight:

This is going somewhere good. This time, these events, may not follow the path that you had in mind but they are following the path that I ordained. That path will not only get us where we are going but it will take us through the things that you need to go through. 

The destination is important but so is the path and the experiences along the way. Your life is a path and I am the destination. Follow every path that leads you closer to me and turn from every path that leads you away. 

I am so happy right now! There is so much that you are right on the brink of. This is REALLY GOOD!

Season of doing...

My prayer:

Thank you God for a day of divine appointments, especially the surprise one at the end of today! I came so close to skipping small group tonight but you had other plans. Thank you for getting me there and for all that you did. 

You always know. It is like you said the other night, most of the time I have no idea why you are asking me to do something but you always have a reason. Thank you for nights like tonight where I get to see the reason. 

It is pretty cool that I get to hang out with, serve, and know you, the all knowing God. YOU ARE AMAZING!!

What God Said Tonight:

It is not a time for waiting it is a time for doing. You are in a season now where I need you to do, to act, and to do so quickly. The waiting season is over, which I know you are glad about. Waiting is not your strongest asset. But doing, that is where you can really shine and I have a lot for you to do. 

Stay alert. Keep your ears open. Keep your eyes open and keep your spirit open to follow my lead. 

We need to grab every opportunity in this season. It is a season where everything you do is multiplied. Both good and bad. Everything you do in this season will be multiplied. Make sure that you do things that you want to see multiplied. 

I love you. This is going to be fun,

Keep going...

My prayer:

Awesome God. There is so much going on and my head is spinning. It is hard to settle and focus on something specific to talk about. 

I guess I will just summarize and say there are a whole lot of needs out there and I thank you that you are big enough to handle them all. I pray God that your will be done in every last one of those situations. I pray that you guide and direct each of us and that you show us the way out and the way up to the next level. 

I love you God and leave it all, every worry, every situation, every problem and every answer, in your hands.

What God Said Tonight:

I brought you through this day as I promised. You are in a better position to accomplish all that is in your heart now than you were yesterday. While there is a lot going on, you are making progress. 

Keep your focus on me and keep moving forward. There is great joy ahead.

You don't know everything...

My prayer:

Awesome God, I am tired of listening to me. What do you want to say tonight? I just want to listen to you.

What God Said Tonight:

Things aren't always what they seem. Situations aren't always what you think they are. You do your best to make sense of the world but you don't have all of the information. There will always be things that will surprise you because you don't know everything you need to know to understand. 

I can teach you much but there will always be some things that you don't know. That is where your faith and trust in me comes in. When I tell you to talk to someone, or turn right, to make a particular choice, when I tell you I want you to do something, even if it does not make sense to you, please, do it anyway. There is always a reason that I am asking and I will try to let you know when I can but trust me and listen to me. 

When I asked you to encourage the woman during church on Sunday, I know you thought it was not an appropriate time but thank you for doing it anyway. There were things happening that you did not know about. When I ask you to pray for someone you haven't thought about in months, please pray. There are things going on that you do not know about. 

I love you daughter and I don't ask for obedience out of any type of power trip. I am God almighty and I am more powerful than anything or anyone else, ever. I ask for obedience because sometimes I need you to do something and I don't have the time or the ability to explain why. Trust me that there always is a "why" and follow my lead. 

Mirrors...

My prayer:

Hi God! Thank you for a wonderful day. 

Something I noticed today, or maybe I have been noticing it for the last week or so but it really stood out today. We, your children, know who you say that we are but we have a hard time really believing it. 

You have told us we are a Royal Priesthood that we are above and not beneath, that we are children of the most high God, set apart and made holy. You have told us that we are destined to succeed and that everything we do will prosper. 

These are all promises you have for us and how you see us. But, we very seldom see ourselves that way. I know so many beautiful (inside and out) women who feel worthless most of the time. I know so many men who are mighty men of God but who have been beaten down by life and are afraid that they will never be who they "should" be so they just stop trying all together. And, you know that I don't see me right. 

God I pray and ask that you give us new eyes to see. I pray and ask that you help us to see ourselves as you see us. I believe that with this new found understanding of who we are, we will finally be able to accomplish the things that you have for us and the things that are on our hearts. 

What God Said Tonight:

The problem is that you are looking in the wrong places to see who you are. You are looking in the mirror of society, the mirror of those around you, you are looking in mirrors that make comparisons. Your worth is not dependent on the worth of those around you. Your worth is determined by me. 

You know how it is. You think your house is a fine house to live in until you go to a friend's house and see how well they live. Suddenly your house isn't good enough. It is the same thing when you start to compare yourself to others. 

Your only yardstick should be me. Your only concern should be "What does God think of me?" I know there is the popular saying of WWJD (What would Jesus do?). I would ask that you think of it a bit differently  Ask "What would God think of me doing...?" You know how I think, you know what I think of you, use those as your guides and your measuring sticks for who you are and how you are doing. 

The only one watching is me and I love you more than you will know. A big part of life is learning to see yourself. An even bigger part of life is learning to see me. When you begin to see me in you, you have it made! Love you so much.

Distractions...

My prayer:

There is nothing better than hanging out with you God. Your presence makes everything better. Your Spirit brings a peace and a joy that is beyond explanation. Your power gives me an assurance and a hope that you can handle anything that comes my way.

I want to be more aware of you in the everyday moments of life. I want to be more aware of your presence in my life. I want others to see you in me no matter where I am or what I am doing. I love you God. Thank you for being in my life and in me.

What God Said Tonight:

The distractions of life are so numerous that it makes for tough competition for your attention. To experience me and my presence more, cut down on the distractions. Turn off the cell phone. Turn off the computer. Turn off the television. 

Remove at least one distraction during each day and you will see more of me. Clear out the hallways of your mind and of your life. Decrease the clutter and you will be better able to see me and be with me. 

I am here. I am always with you and will never leave you. But sometimes the distractions get between us and make it hard to see. There is nothing wrong in the distractions themselves except that they keep you form me. 

Love you and can't wait to spend more time together with fewer distractions.

Ordained and chosen...

My prayer:

What a perfect night God! This week was a little rough but tonight made up for it and then some! Great work out, yummy dinner and then intense and wonderful prayer and worship with some of my most favorite people! Your presence was so thick tonight God. Thank you for all that you did and thank you for being there with us, guiding directing, helping, loving  healing, and just being wonderful you! LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!

What God Said Tonight:

I have a purpose and a plan in every thing in your life. There are no accidents and no coincidences in your life. There are only blessings and opportunities. There are only moments of joy and moments to learn from 

I have ordained you as my child and a Royal Priest. You will walk on the horizon and see my miracles transform the world. You will see the new heaven and the new earth. You will see the remnant and you will see the dead coming back to life. 

I have chosen you for this time and I have equipped you to be a part of it. I have shown you many thins with more to come. 

Your willingness, your faithfulness and your love have made a way for you and for your family that will serve you well.

I love you daughter and I am ready to take you to into the next level.

God has got this...

My prayer:

You ALWAYS work it all out. No matter what "it" is. That is what amazes me about you. That is why I am so grateful for you and that is why I can't imagine life without you my wonderful Lord! 

Without you my life would be an endless stream of hopeless fear. With you, my life is an everlasting assurance of hope. I see you handle things time and time again in my life and in the lives around me and it gives me complete assurance in your ability to handle any and every situation. Living with you and with that assurance is FANTASTIC!!! 

Thank you for choosing me God. I would be lost without you.

What God Said Tonight:

I got it all handled. Go sleep the sound sleep of someone with no worires.

The truth hurts...

My prayer:

Awesome God! What a night of harsh but real truth! Thank you God for discernment, wisdom, and  friends who are willing to look truth in the face, no matter how ugly. God, I pray that you help me to make the changes I need to make. Help me to be a better person. Help me to be the person you created me to be. Thank you...and ouch! :)

What God Said Tonight:

Yes, the truth hurts but lies hurt more and they hurt for a longer time. 

You have new eyes to see and new ears to hear. Don't let your eyes and ears get clouded because the the truth is hard. 

Now is the time to step up to the next level. Now is the time to be more than you were yesterday. Now is the time to step into the destiny I have called you to. Their is no room in that destiny for anything that is not truth. 

I love you daughter, just the way you are. But, I know that you will be happier, more fulfilled, better able to do all that you want to do if you face these truths and move  into your new season. 

Now is the time.

God's worldwide tour...

My prayer:

Amazing Father. I thought I was going to talk to you tonight about the disillusionment with everything that has been going on. But then, as I was signing on to the blog, I saw that over 10,000 people have clicked on and read the entry that you called "A day in the life of God...". That is AMAZING God! That tells me that there are A LOT of people who want to know you. That tells me that we have not lost our hunger for you. And THAT IS AWESOME!!!

I get discouraged sometimes when I look at what is happening around me. I start to think there is no hope for us. Then, I see something like that and realize that there are still people here who love you and people who are curious about you.

God I pray that every last person who is curious about you have a personal experience of you tonight. I know it is a lot to ask but you are a big God. I pray that you sweep across the globe and give every last person who wants to know you, a personal experience of your love for them, tonight. 

Wooo!! Can't wait to see what you do God!!!

What God Said Tonight:

I like that prayer daughter., I will sweep the world and everyone who is seeking me will find e. Everyone who looks for me and wants to know me will experience me, tonight. 

I am seeking those who seek me and I will find every last one, no matter where they are. This is going to be fun!! 

Love you daughter. You will see this harvest.

Diamond cutting...

My prayer:

Hi God! How are you doing? Did anything wonderful happen today that made you smile? How are the angels? Did everything get done that needed to be done today? Has anyone told you they loved you today?

Just in case, I love you. I appreciate you. I am in awe of who you are and all that you do. 

What God Said Tonight:

I am excited! Today was a good day with many wonderful things. I smiled a lot and even got a few belly laughs in. There is always much to do and not enough laborers but through multiplication, we got it all done. 

And, most important, I love you too daughter. I love that you remembered me today. I love that you  were able to set aside your interest in you and just focus on me for awhile. That will always serve you well. Those times when you can get out of your own muck to grab onto me, those are the times when I can pull you out. There are no problems bigger than my ability to get you out of them. 

Trust me in all things and I will not let you down. I am your God. I am your Lord. I am all yours. You  are precious and I will keep you safe, whole, and undamaged. You are being cut but those cuts will only make you shine more. You are a diamond that has been forged under heat and pressure and now is being perfected in the cutting. The result will be a rock that has more fire and more beauty than you can even imagine. Get ready my diamond in the rough.

God's promises...

My prayer:

Thank you God for a wonderful day. Thank you for the opportunities to serve you and your people. Thank you for healing and comforting so many people today who needed you. Thank you for the help and wisdom about my car. Thank you for fixing my dryer. Wow! You were busy today!

Amazing God, I pray and hope that I NEVER forget that you can take care of EVERYTHING no matter how big or how small! Thank you for being a God that is big enough to take care of the major events but loving enough to take care of the daily annoyances. 

You are so wonderful and I am so grateful for you in my life!!!!!!!!!

What God Said Tonight:

I am good to fulfill my promises. You can take my promises to the bank. You can count on them. 

When I promise to take care of you, I will take care of you. When I promise to provide for you, I will provide for you. When I promise to give you the desires of your heart, I will give you the desires of your heart. 

I don't make promises to get your hopes up and dash them. I give you promises so you can plan your life, focus on me and let me take care of the rest. 

I will work all things to the good of those that love me and are called according to my purpose. That is a promise and I will not be found to be a liar. EVER. 

Love you. Get ready for tomorrow....

Relationship...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I can't think of anything worthy to talk about tonight, but I always want to hear what you have to say. That is all that really matters anyway. What is on your mind? How was your day?

What God Said Tonight:

You said one true thing there. There is only one thing that matters in this life and that is our relationship. As long as our relationship is good, everything else will work out. 

When our relationship is good, you are loving and caring with other people. When our relationship is good, you are fully provided for in every area of your life. When our relationship is good, you are growing and maturing in your walk. When our relationship is good, everything else is good too. 

So, you are right when you say the only important thing is me but more specifically, the only important thing is our relationship. Me and you together. It is the relationships with my children that matter. That is the only thing that really matters. It is the well that all else springs from. It is the root of all good things. 

I love you daughter. Rest for tomorrow is nearly here.

Fear flees...

My prayer:

Mighty and all powerful God. I am fighting with fear tonight. You know that is unusual for me but it has been creeping up. Mainly fear of everything just going completely wrong. I don't really know where it is coming from. You have not given me a spirit of fear, so it is not from you. But there it is and I hate it. 

God, I lay the fear at your feet and I chose to walk in faith. I choose to remember and believe that no matter what happens, you will work it out for my good. Help me to stay in faith and out of fear please God.

What God Said Tonight:

Your fear is related to feeling like you are not in control. When you finally can give up that wrong belief that if you are in control, you can make everything ok and if you are not in control, everything will fail, if you can give that up, you can learn to trust me at a new level. You can learn that me being in control is the only real way to be sure that everything will work out. 

Let go tonight my daughter and you will see the fear flee. When you remember that I am in charge, I am in control, fear cannot stand in the face of me. It always runs away and hides. That is what fear does, it runs in the face of power. It grows in the environment of doubt but it flees in the environment of faith. 

I love you daughter and I have this covered.

Blessed...

My prayer:

Incredible God. You are so wonderful. I love how you are there for me no matter what. No matter what the issue, you show up and take care of things. 

Thank you so much for working out my meeting this morning. That could have gone really badly and I asked for your help and it went wonderfully. 

Why do you treat me so good? I certainly don't deserve it. I am very grateful but I know I don't deserve all of the grace, mercy and favor you show me. I know you are probably going to say it is because you love me, but why do you love me? I am not sure I love me all the time so how can you? Anyway, thank you again. You are wonderful and I love you very much.

What God Said Tonight:

I know it is hard for you to understand. I bless you because you are mine. I know you want to understand why I bless you because you think if you understand it, you can get more blessings in the future. It does not work that way. I bless you because you are mine. 

The only real qualification you need is to belong to me. I will always find a way to bless you when you belong to me. It may not always be in the way you want right at that minute. I do need to teach you and help you become all that you can be. But, I will always find a way to bless you. 

I spend a lot of effort seeking out ways to bless you. You know how at Christmas or for someone's birthday, you spend a lot of time and effort to find that "just perfect" gift? I am doing that for you all of the time. My reward is you grateful receipt and the joy it brings you. I love you daughter. You are blessed.

A life of joy...

My prayer:

Today was SO WONDERFUL GOD!! THANK YOU!!! It wasn't that anything great or anything horrible happened. There was great, good, neutral, and bad things that happened today. But all day long you gave me joy, energy, and a hope. That is what made today so fantastic! 

I would like to have many more days like this one God.

What God Said Tonight:

You can have as many days like today as you want. Your joy was dependent on me and not the circumstances and that is yours forever. My joy is yours forever. My love is yours forever. My peace is yours forever. Forever and always I am yours. 

You only have to reach out to me. You only have to plug into me and I will give you joy, peace, love all the days of your life. 

Worry is worthless...

My prayer:

You, my awesome God, work EVERYTHING out! Two nights ago I was stressing out, not sure how I was going to get everything done and you just completely moved things around, no effort on my part, and now there is plenty of time. THANK YOU! 

I love that you know the end at the beginning and I love that when I trust you to guide my steps, everything happens in its right time. 

I pray God that you continue to lead and guide me and that you, in your infinite wisdom, show me each thing that I need to do as I need to do it so I am as effective as possible in getting done the things that you have for me to do. Your faithful servant.

What God Said Tonight:

Worry  is such a waste of time and energy. All worry is worthless and only prayer and trust in me will move those mountains. That's the only way to ensure that you get to the destination. Otherwise, worry will hijack your future if you let it. You and me forever my daughter!

Crazy stuff...

My prayer:

What if we lived our entire lives as if we believed that the Bible is completely true? What if we believed you when you said, after doing countless miracles, that we would do even greater things than what you had done. What if we were to really believe that ALL things are possible through Christ  What if...? What if we believed that we could tell a mountain to move and it would move? 

What would this life be like if we, your kids, could really believe and get a hold of your word and believe it to be completely true? I am not sure, but I want to find out!

God, help me to believe that every word of your promise is true, even the crazy stuff. God, I pray for the faith to believe for the crazy stuff! Thank you Jesus!!

What God Said Tonight:

Careful what you ask for my daughter. Are you ready for the crazy stuff? I know you are but you need to now it too because I will show you crazy stuff. 

The world of the Spirit does not make sense in the world of the physical. When those two worlds combine, anything can happen. 

I am the creator of all things and are therefore sovereign  Some people picture me as some great and far away God that rules from on high without feeling and without care. That is not who I am. I am God with you. I am God in you. I am right here. I never left you and I never will. 

You belong to me and I will establish you. 

Just beginning...

My prayer:

Mighty God. What's on your mind tonight? I am not really in the mood to talk but always in the mood to listen to you. Love you!

What God Said Tonight:

I haven't yet begun to show you all that you are are capable of through me. You think that you have seen a lot and done a lot and you have. You think that your life has been lived but it hasn't. You have only just begun. 

I have so many more seasons and lives for you yet to experience. I will give you fullness of life. I will give you  many lifetimes of experience. You and I are together for all eternity so we have a lot more time together.

And, I know you need to change. You need to see different options and live out different paths to stay excited. There are unlimited paths for you to explore. I have so much for you. Do not get discouraged thinking things are at an end. You are still in your beginning. Your end is on the other side of eternity. 

I love you and I will see you fulfilled with EVERY DREAM OF YOUR HEART.

Fear, despair, apathy...FAITH

My prayer:

What a wonderful day of rest God! Thank you for the luxury of rest. My mind is wandering tonight for sure. 

I think the one thing that I do want to ask about is this fear vs. despair vs. apathy thing that I am seeing and experiencing. There are so many horrible things happening in the world and because of the internet, we see them all (or a lot of them). And for me, I bounce around from getting afraid, to despairing that there is anything I can do to apathy or avoidance. Then when I am being smart about it, I finally get to the point of faith and trust in you to take care of it all. 

So, what am I asking? I guess I am asking for help getting to that place of faith and trust faster and staying there longer because the other phases are painful and unproductive. I know that is where you want me to live, in the place of faith and trust. Therefore, when I am in fear, despair or apathy, I am out of your will. 

God, I pray that your will be done on earth and in my life as it is in heaven. 

What God Said Tonight:

Faith is a decision. You know that. You have been taught that over and over. 

You can choose to live in faith or you can choose to live in fear. You can choose to ignore what is happening around you or you can choose to trust me to take care of you. You have been given the power and the privilege of choice. 

Never forget the power of choice. It is your primary weapon in this world. Make the right choices and live a blessed life. Not that everything will be perfect. You still live in a world where sin is running rampant and so even when you make every smart choice, there will be those who make poor choices that effect you. But, when you are making the right choices, when you are choosing faith and trust in me, I promise to work it all out in the end for you. 

I will never turn my back on you. 

Set up...

My prayer:

You are so amazing, wonderful, incredible, beyond words, beyond emotion, beyond...everything! I lack the ability to praise you adequately. I am too limited to properly praise the God of all creation. But I will praise you anyway. I can't help it. 

You make everything right. You give me hope. You give me favor. You give me abilities that are not my own. You give me love. You don't just love me, you give me love. It is a gift that you give me, that strengthens me and fills me with joy when I have no reason to be joyful. I LOVE YOU GOD!!

What God Said Tonight:

I have such great things planned for you! I am excited just thinking about it. The heavens are on pins and needles as we get ready to launch into this next season. There is so much, I couldn't tell you all of it because you would get overwhelmed. But believe me, it is wonderful beyond your imagination. 

I am so EXCITED!! You will love it, I promise. 

For right now, enjoy the anticipation. It is part of the experience and part of the preparation. You are in the right place, at the right time, with the right preparation...that is a set up for something WONDERFUL!

Always...

My prayer:

Thank you thank you thank you thank you God for rebuking the devourer in my life!!! The way you protected me last night from the scam was amazing. I really believed that email was from "P" and that she had been robbed in the Philipinnes. But you knew better, you blocked the transaction, you had "L" call me to make me think twice about whether it was real and you showed me how to uncover the truth. YOU ARE AWESOME!! Thank you!!!

What God Said Tonight:

I take care of my children. It is what a Father does. I love you and I will not see you taken advantage of, especially for having a giving heart. 

I will protect you, always. I will teach you, always. I will love you, always. I am a forever God and you and me are for always. You are precious and safe in my arms, always.

Sandwiches...

My prayer:

What a difference a day and an act of obedience makes God! It was awesome to be back in your will today! It was super busy but everything was flowing again. 

Thank you for pointing out where I got off track and thank you for getting me back on track! Thank you for never giving up on me. Thank you for always giving me another chance to get it right. You are more wonderful than I can say. What is on your mind tonight?

What God Said Tonight:

Life is like a sandwich. The stuff on the inside gives the sandwich its flavor and makes it specific. The bread surrounds every sandwich and gives it its identity as a sandwich. 

Jesus is the bread of life and he surrounds you and all of my children. It is what gives you your identity as a child of God. But inside the bread, you are all different and wonderful in your own way. 

Appreciate the similarity that identifies you as mine while appreciating the differences that give you flavor. I love you now and forever.

Wonderful 2013...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I am ready! I am ready for a new year. I am ready for change. I am ready for whatever you want to do next! I love you God and I trust you completely. Guide me, teach me, show me where you want me and my answer will always be "yes!"

What God Said Tonight:

I have some pretty wonderful plans for you this year. Promises fulfilled. New challenges. New friends. New miracles, well new to you. I am excited about where you are headed. 

My plan for your  life has not changed but we are entering a new season that will be wonderful. Wonderful for you and wonderful for the people around you. 

Sow your seed in this season. It will produce a mighty harvest. Everything you sow will be multiplied 100 fold.  Sow time, skills, finances, give and I will give it back to you multiplied.
