Dreams...

My prayer:
Mighty God, King, Teacher, Lord, Healer, Creator and love of my life. Thank you for this day. It was a great day with good friends, good food and relaxation. I needed that after this week.

You have put such amazing people in my life. I am grateful for their friendship, laughter and the joy they bring into my life. We are all flawed, but we all have greatness in us too. Thank you for putting people in my life who see my flaws, but love me anyway. Thank you for putting people in my life that celebrate with me when I am blessed. Thank you for friends who support me when I fail.

Thank you for friends God. What an amazing thing it is to have true friends. Thank you for teaching me that to have friends, all I really have to do is be friendly and trust you.

Thank you for friends that I get to support, lift up and dream dreams for. Thank you for showing me visions and strategies for their lives, ways to help their dreams come true. I love seeing dreams come true in my friends lives. I love seeing M. sing, I love seeing G. witness on Colfax, I love seeing you renewing G.'s dreams. I pray God that you continue to help people see their dreams come true. I pray God that you let me be a part of seeing that happen for the people around me.

I pray God that you help us to never stop dreaming, to never stop hoping. I love you and all that you do. You are the dream maker and the dream fulfiller. Every day I think I can't love you more and then tomorrow comes and I do!

As always God, I pray your blessing over the services held in your honor tomorrow. Bless the Pastors and the speakers to speak your words. Bless the music and musicians to help people praise and worship you in a way that blesses you and encourages them. Help each of us to know how best to serve you and your people tomorrow God. LOVE YOU

What God said tonight:
What do you want to hear tonight? You seem to have an agenda, something on your mind. I don't mind when you have an agenda, but you need to ask me if you want to hear from me about something specific.

Your not doing a very good job of hearing me tonight. It is hard to get through the noise. Focus and know that I am God.

Your dream and your will are the same. Your dream and my dream are the same. We want the same things. I will ensure that your dreams come true.

I will ensure that you get to be a part of others' dreams coming true because I know you love it. Sometimes you seem to love to see their dreams come true more than your own. You don't think you deserve dreams to come true. And, on your own, you don't deserve much, it's true. But covered in my blood you are a joint heir in the kingdom of God and you deserve to have every thing you can dream or hope for.

I want you to break down the wall that makes you think that you can't and won't ever have the things you really want. I need you to believe that you have joy and passion and love and fun and contentment and fulfillment in your future. You have all of this and more. Your life today is good. Your future is amazing.

Try to look over the journey you have been on. As much as your life has changed in the last ten years, that is nothing compared to what you are about to see. I continually speak into your future because sometimes, a lot of the time, you get so convinced that it is not going to happen. Discouragement and doubt are weapons of the enemy that he uses to his full advantage with you.

Try to see you own dreams, your own potential in the same light that you see others. You have no doubt that M will be a successful singer. You have no doubt that S. will be successful at what ever she does in life. See yourself the same way and walk in the confidence that you deserve to see you dreams come true. Through my blood, you have the inheritance. I will make sure you receive it my love.

Stay in this place of peace with me. It took us awhile to get here tonight. Now is not the time to hide. Now is the time to shine. I love you with all that I AM.

Transparency...

My prayer:
King and ruler of all creation. How are you doing tonight Daddy? I love you and need you to speak tonight. I am too tired to even think straight so tonight is all you. I praise you, love and worship you!

What God said tonight:
I love you back sweetheart. You are not as done as you think you are right now. This tiredness and fatigue will lift, it will go away. You are on the edge of greatness and that can take a lot out of you.

Your work, your accomplishments are secondary tonight. Tonight I want you to rest and know that I am God. I want you to remember the purpose behind it all. I want you to remember the vision and all of the many people who will experience me as you continue on your journey.

I love you. I want you to see and experience every dream and vision that we have seen together. You must stay strong and endure. Each day will help. You will do better tomorrow than today. You did better today than yesterday. Each day, do one thing better and you won't believe where we will be in a year, or five years or ten years.

Keep focused and know that I am God and Lord of your life. My purpose does not change. My goals have not changed. I want to see everyone saved and living for eternity with me. That is what I want, but they have to want it. How can they know they want it if they don't see that it is good in you?

In your fatigue and in your joy, you must remember that people look to you to see my reflection. Remember to let me shine through. No matter what is happening in your life, let me shine thorough. Let them see me as your comforter when you are sad, your redeemer when things have been taken from you, your teacher when you are learning, your Daddy all of the time. Let them see me be your strength when you are weak. Don't hide what is happening in your day to day life. Let them see it, but let them see me as the answer.

It will help more than you know. It will bring more people to me than any sermon could. People have heard the sermons. They need to see it living and working in your life. Show them that I am real and I am truth. It isn't hard, just be transparent. It is scary, but not hard.

I love you and trust you with my message and my purpose. I don't give that trust lightly but I know you will strive to do what you can. I love you, really. It doesn't become less true the more I tell you. It becomes more true the more I say it. I love you. Rest and prepare. We have more to do.

Lean on me...

My prayer:
Awesome Father. Today was rough and I don't think I handled it very well. I am beat. But you are God, my refuge and my rest. You are my peace. You are what I need to live and breathe every day.

My God. My Lord. I pray for rest tonight and favor tomorrow. I pray God that you help me to do better tomorrow than I did today. Help me to be more patient, more loving and just better. I pray that you make me a blessing to everyone around me Lord. Help me to be the servant and the joy in someone's life. Help me keep the priorities straight. Love you, love people. Why is something so simple so hard to do consistently?

I love you and trust you to make me what you need me to be. In Jesus name.

What God said tonight:
Sweet daughter. You will rest in my arms tonight. Continue to pour it all out and I will refill you. You won't run dry. Like the widow's oil, you won't run dry. As long as you keep me first and continue to come to me for rest, you will have all you need for each day.

Your life is not really your own. When you gave your life to me, you gave your purpose to me. My purpose is now your purpose. You and I are united as one. You and I will be together for all eternity. You and I will never be apart. Every day is another day to celebrate that. Every day is another day to show the world what they can have if they just choose me. Every day is another day to follow the path I have for you.

Don't think that your life or the things that happen in it are an accident. It was all planned long before you were even born. I knew you in your mother's womb and loved you before you knew that I or love existed.

Rest in the knowledge that we will walk and live each day together. Don't rely on your own strength in the battles, rely on mine. Don't worry about having enough umph to make it through, rely on me. Lean more on me daughter. I love your strength and I made you independent and confident, but remember to lean on me. Remember to rest in me. That will refill your strength for another day. I love you and I am your strong tower. Lean on me.

Poised for action...

My prayer:
Thank you for an incredible small group tonight God!!! Thank you for bringing new people to the group tonight! Thank you for the amazing healing praise reports!! Thank you for healing one of the member's back pain (that she has had for 2 years) tonight before our eyes!!! I love to see your amazing power at work!!!!!!!!

I just have to praise you tonight. I just have to let everybody know that your power is real. That you are real. That your promises are REAL!!!! You are so amazing. Thank you for being YOU!!!! My God you are amazing! I wonder if I can type in my heavenly language? Wonder what that would be like or if it is even possible?

You are awesome, amazing, incredible, fantastic, marvelous, terrific, perfect. You are every good word that has ever been created. It is so easy to love you!!!!!

What God said tonight:
You make me smile daughter. It is my pleasure to show my power to you and to your friends. It is easy to bless you when I know you will recognize me as the source and not let it get you messed up. One of the dangers of blessings is that people can get stuck on the blessing and forget who blessed them. When I know that you won't forget, you won't forget me, it is easy to bless.

Your world is about to change. I have been talking about it for awhile and you have already seen a lot of changes, but it is about to change even more. I know you are ready, but I want you prepared and on the edge of your seat for this next change. I want you poised to act. I want you to be so ready to move that there is no hesitation. Like the door of the plane, just step out. I will be your tandem instructor behind you to give you the last minute nudge, but step out. Be poised and ready.

You are so going to love this next stage. You are so ready. I love you, I adore you and I will lift you to the next level. My darling daughter, you are mine and I am yours forever.

Unity...

My Prayer:
What a weird day God. Thank you for reminding me tonight of the vision and promise. Thank you for friends who hear you and speak into my life. Thank you for bringing them to me to speak over the things that I am afraid to ask you about. Thanks for knowing what I need even before I tell you.

You are so amazing. I love you more than I even thought was possible to love. I remain so grateful to you for all that you do everyday for me, for my family, for my friends and for the world. So often people ask me, "Where is your God?" when they see disaster, tragedy or sickness. You are in the rescue, the restoration, and the healing. You are in the recovery business in a world where we are bent on making decisions that try to destroy us. Thank you God for being my saviour, redeemer and recovery guy! I am yours now and forever. Thank you for renewed vision tonight.

What God said tonight:
I love you, just in case you forgot. I do what I do out of my love for you. Keep trusting and loving me. Sweep away the distractions so we can be together as one. I want your whole life. I want your entire devotion. I want your love.

It isn't that you can't have fun or a life. Remember, I came to to bring you life and bring it more abundantly. But in living, be one with me. Let there be a unity between you and I that cannot be broken. Let there be a unity of purpose that cannot be shaken. Let there be unity that brings strength and accomplishes what you cannot accomplish on your own.

Find the place of agreement, both with those people in your life and with me and run with it. Look for the places of agreement, that's where the strength is. That's where the action is. I love you and in this unity we will accomplish more tomorrow than today.

Rest my love. There is a great purpose in tomorrow and you will need your strength to meet it.

I LOVE YOU...

My prayer:
Healer, great physician. maker of every one of us, creator of the universe. In awe of you Lord. Thank you for your healing power. Thank you for being the great healer of our bodies, our emotions, or spirits and our souls. Thank you God for healing me. Thank you for healing my friends, my family and so many more people throughout the world.

Thank you for being the God that I can always run to. Thank you for being the one that I know will always be there no matter what the challenge. Thank you that I can trust you when everything else has gone crazy. Thank you for being the calm in the storm and the peace that passes all understanding.

Thank you for being my provider. Thank you that you meet all of my needs out of your riches in glory. Thank you for teaching me how to be a woman of God. Thank you for loving me and teaching me how to be loved. Thank you for teaching me how to love.

Thank you for the Bible that teaches me all of the promises that you have for me, for us. Thank you for amazing experiences that help me to grow and to know you better every day. Thank you for incredible people who encourage and love on me. Life is so much better with people to share it with!

If there was a word better than awesome, I would use that word. Sometimes I wish we had a whole new vocabulary just to praise you God. It seems inadequate to use the same words that I use everyday for everyday things. Maybe that's one reason you gave us the heavenly prayer languages through the Holy Spirit? You knew we would run out of words to worship you adequately? You have all of my praise, my worship and my love Lord.

What God said tonight:
Hear me tonight daughter. You are loved. You are loved. You are loved. I love you, you know that. Know that you are loved. The assurance that comes from truly understanding you are loved and that you don't have to earn it is so important. Hear me again, I love you.

Your praise is beautiful and a sweet fragrance to me. I adore your words and even more, your heart. I love to spend this time with you. You are everything I hoped you to be. When I was creating you, I had this day in mind. I had this moment in mind. I love you. Peace...rest, love, live, pray, it is an easy formula. And remember, I LOVE YOU!!!!

Serving...

My Prayer:
Lord my God, I'm here tonight without much to say. Thank you for your protection today. Thank you for amazing people in my life. Thank you for all you accomplished today.

I don't feel like I did much today. I guess I helped a couple people in little ways. Doesn't feel like enough. I feel a bit empty tonight. Part of it might be the Sunday night blues. I'm almost never excited for another Monday.

Ok, I am going to stop whining right now. Sorry God. How about I focus on the amazing love and patience you have for me. God, how long do you have to hear me complain about the same stuff? You are so patient. You would be well within your "rights" to have turned your back on me long ago.

Why is it easier for me to see what isn't there than it is to see all the amazing things that are there? Last week in Bible study we talked about not looking at the donut hole but looking at the sprinkles. I need to look at the sprinkles more. You are my sprinkles. The joy you bring in my life, the opportunities, the people, and the love.

You had me born on this day quite a few years ago with a purpose and a plan for my life. I pray God that you correct for anything I have done to mess up that purpose. I pray that everything you need to be accomplished through me is accomplished. I pray that I don't get in my own way of what you want to do through me. I pray God that you continue to teach me to love and to pray and to live for you. I pray that each day is one day closer to you God. I love you God. I will continue to do my best. Forgive me when my best is not enough to accomplish what you need to accomplish. Cover me with your grace so people always see you in me.

What God said tonight:
Sweet love. Listen to me and hear me. It is time for a new leaf, a new day. It is time to stop repeating the same circle. You have much to learn and much to say. You are a teacher and a prayer warrior but you are about to see how that plays out in a whole new arena.

You are about to see how the preparation of the last 10+ years is going to be used. Every moment of the preparation will be used for your good and for the Kingdom of God. You won't have to worry about not doing enough. You are doing more than you realize. Buying toilet paper when the church runs out is as important as praying for the sick to be healed. All service is the same. It all has the same level of importance and the same level of reward. Just like there is no sin that is greater than other sins, there is no service that is greater than another service. I value it all.

I value the submission and the willingness to serve. I value the servants heart. I don't value the result. I am in charge of the result, not you. So I value your willingness. I value that you say yes whenever I ask. I value that you seek out opportunities to bless people. That is what I value and that is what you need to teach. Teach by example.

New level, new leaf, new year and new season. I love you more than you can receive but I love you that much anyway because I can't help it. I wouldn't want to if I could. Press forward my love.
