Fascinated...

My prayer:
Awesome Father. I just want to hear from you. I am finding more and more that I would rather listen than talk when it comes to you. I know, it is a BIG change :). But, I love you and I am fascinated by you. Tell me more...


What God Said Tonight:
I am fascinated with you too my daughter and I love to hear what is on your heart and mind. I love when you come directly to me the source to listen. 


That is the thing, I do want you to be listening to other people who teach my word. You will learn a lot not only what they are teaching but how they are teaching it. I want you to learn a lot by observing those things. But, always bring it back to me. Always check it against my word. Always run it by me to ensure it is good and right teaching. People don't always get it right, even when they try to, so check it all out with me. 


I love you my sweet daughter and now I want you to go finish your day of rest by sleeping well. You are mine and I am yours forever.

Gift...for later...

My prayer:
Another great day in your presence and with your people God. I love the joy you put in my life. I love how you protect me. I love you. I am pretty tired and fading fast God with thoughts running together and not making sense even in my head. I think maybe I should stop talking and start listening. 


What God Said Tonight:
I have a gift for you. I have it wrapped up in beautiful wrapping. It shimmers in the light and promises great beauty inside. 


I have lovingly prepared this gift for you. I have kept it safe for a long time, waiting for you to be ready. And now, you are almost ready. You are ready enough for me to let you know the gift exists and that it is wonderful and that it is yours. But it is not quite time to open t. It is not quite time for you to take it out and use it. 


It won't be too much longer but I want you to know it is coming. I want you to wait with anticipation. I have been waiting with great anticipation to give it too you. I am so excited about it! I cant wait to see your response. I can't wait to see what you do with it. 


I have said it before, giving is better than receiving and that is good for me too. I love to give to you. I love to give to my children. I would rather give and bless you than do anything else. It is my greatest pleasure to bless you. I love you and I am saving up blessings for you my daughter. 

Challenge your doubts...

My prayer:
All knowing God. You have given me two messages today about unity, authority, and community. Usually you give me things three times when you are really trying to get my attention, but I don't need to wait for the third message any more. I am here and paying attention. 


I am a little confused though. I know the importance of unity, authority and community. Is there something I am missing? Am I out of order in some area and I don't realize it? God, I ask for the revelation of how and where this message applies to me. Or, if it doesn't, if it is just good info to be reminded of, please let me know that. 


I have searched myself and I am not sure what you want me to change. Thank you God for your wisdom, your guidance, and your grace.


What God Said Tonight:
I want you to challenge yourself. I want you to challenge your own doubts. I don't doubt your understanding and your obedience. I don't question your faithfulness. But, you do. You are. 


You are doubting the path you are on and I need you to challenge it yourself and decide, is this the path you stay on? Do you continue to follow my voice, as scary as it might be sometimes, or do you fall back into the comfortable, the easy? 


I need you to carefully assess every doubt. I need you to challenge every act. I need you to be free of all doubt. I need you to know that you are in my will and that I have you on this path for a reason and for a purpose. I need you to recognize that this path is not a rejection of all that you have learned but it is a fulfillment of it. 


But, don't believe it just because I am telling you it is so. Challenge yourself. Work through it, logically. When you are SURE, when you have no doubts left. we will be ready to move on. When you know that you know that you know that you are right where I want you to be, we will move on. Build our foundation strong. We are about to build up another level.

Soak it up...

My prayer:
I love you like crazy God. I love that there is always more to learn about you. I love that I can never get bored with you. I love that you change things up for me all the time to keep me on my toes. I love that you know me and understand me better than I know myself. I love that you make sure I have everything I need. 


God, please always keep teaching me. I love to teach but I love to learn, really learn, just as much. Thank you for a season of learning.


What God Said Tonight:
I love to teach you and I love it when you the student becomes the teacher. Knowledge and wisdom are great gifts that will serve you well throughout eternity. I am the source of all knowledge and wisdom. 


I know it all and I will teach you all that you can handle. Soak it up like a sponge. Soak it up until it just starts running off the top because the sponge is so saturated. I want to saturate you with my wisdom. I want to equip you with the knowledge you will need tomorrow. I want to prepare you  for the challenge to come. Soak up my knowledge, my wisdom, and be ready to apply it. 


There will not  be a long wait between learning and application. There will be an even shorter gap between learning and teaching. I love you my sweet student. Rest well tonight.

Know God...

My prayer:
Awesome and amazing God. I love you. I am in awe of you. I am impressed by you every day God. 


It is my desperate hope that I never lose the wonder and the amazement of who you are and all that you do. I see people, good people, people who have loved you that have been beaten down by life or just got too caught up in the day to day living that they have forgotten how amazing it is that you, the God who created it all, the God who caused us to exist, love us, want to know us personally, are invested in our success. That is a miracle all on its own. 


Thank you God for the frequent reminders of how awesome you are. Thank you for loving me and choosing me. 


What God Said Tonight:
I am more than what you realize right now. That is why I ask that you never stop learning. that is why I ask that you never stop striving to be closer to me. No matter how much you know of me right now, there is more to know. I am greater than your imagination. 


You can never get bored with me. Not if you are really seeking me, because, there is always more to know. My word, the Bible is living and active. The more you read it the greater your understanding of it and me. 


I need you to study my word regularly and diligently. Look at all of the layers of the message. Understand the mesage as well as the story. Study the original meanings. Study the culture in which the people lived. Study all of it. Then, pray and meditate with me and I will show you even greater insigts. 


Rededicate your life to study of my word and I can promise you revelation and understanding beyond what you can imagine today. I can promise that you will remain in awe all the days of your life. I love you daughter. Study my word and know me.

Quiet time...

My prayer:
God, you are so good and I don't feel like I am doing enough for you lately. I have gotten comfortable again and in a rut. You know how I hate ruts. What is the next new thing? What do you want to do next? What can I be doing now? I love you God and I love every adventure we have together. I am ready for a new adventure.


What God Said Tonight:
A new adventure may not be what you need right now. We will have many new adventures, don't worry. This time, right now is a time to where I need your full attention. I don't need you to be too distracted by "doing." 


You are not stuck. You are preparing. A new season and a new adventure is on its way. You will need to be prepared. We will need to be closer than ever, you will need to trust me more than ever, you will want to know my sovern will rules. 


During this time, take advantage of the luxury of spending time with me with no immediate agenda. Draw close to me my daughter. Curl up at my feet and learn all that I have for you. Curl up in my lap and experience my love for you. Curl up with me and know me like never before. 


I have you in this quiet time for a reason. Use it wisely.

Terrifying...

My prayer:
Awesome God, last night scared me but today was sweet rest. There was so much pain last night, I wasn't sure if I was going to make it. But, with your help I did.

That is the great thing about this life with you God. No matter what happens, no matter how bad things get, I always have hope in you. I always can count on you to bring me through it.

Life without that assurance, life without you, must be TERRIFYING! Especially right now, with everything that is going on. I mean, 100 tornadoes tore through the country, killing and destroying everything in their path. That is terrifying! There are people being killed everyday for what they believe in or sometimes for no reason at all, TERRIFYING! This world is so violent these days and down right TERRIFYING!

God, I pray and ask that you help me to not be controlled by fear. God, help me to remember that you did not give me a spirit of fear but of power, love, and a sound mind. Help me to remember that no matter what the situation is, no matter how terrifying, that you are bigger and more powerful and you are on my side.  Thank you Jesus!

What God Said Tonight:
You are living in terrifying times, there is no doubt of that. These are the days, the last days that I spoke about.

There is a special generation that I have called to live in this time and you are a part of that generation. I have chosen you for this time. Not because I want to punish you but because I need you in this time. I need you to help my people. I need you to remind them where their hope comes from. I need you to show them where to look and what to focus on.

This is not an easy time but it is an exciting time. This is the last age before we get to cleanse the earth of sin. This is the last steps before we can live together forever in paradise. I have almost finished the new Jerusalem. I have everything in place. It is only a matter of time. Be patient and know always that I am God and I will protect you all the days of your life. I love you daughter and I always will.
