The History: A couple of years ago, I started journaling my prayers and God's responses to them. I told my friends about this, they were really interested. I told my Pastor about it and he said, how about sharing those on line. When I asked God, He said, my words are for you, but not just for you. And, here we are...I hope He speaks to you in these words.
My prayer:
Awesome, conqueror God. I think this season that I am in is about taking authority that you have given to me and standing in faith that what you say is truth, even when it comes to my own body. Literally commanding the natural to come into obedience with your truth God.
Thank you for what you are teaching me God. Is not easy, but even in the middle of it, I can see the benefit. Thank you God for loving me enough to not leave me where I am but to teach me and help me grow. I am yours forever God.
What God Said Tonight:
Are you up for this next season? Are you really up for all that I have for you? This next season is going to be more than you can imagine.
There are blessings and curses and you will have to rightly choose. There is life and death and you must rightly choose. This next season will have many turns, many decisions. You will follow me and use all that you have learned. You will see great danger but you will see great glory. There is so much that I want to show you, so much that I want to do with you. There is so much. Are you ready?
I am giving you the choice. I will not force you, especially in this. I will only take you as far as you want to go. I can promise great joy, great blessing. But, I can guarantee great struggle and danger. Can you trust me enough in the danger?
When you are ready, make your choice. It will be the first of many. Choose wisely.
My prayer:
My conquering God. Thank you for battling for me in trouble today. Thank you for people standing in faith with me in the battle. Thank you God for being my rescue. I love you and I am humbled and grateful.
What God Said Tonight:
The battle is not over but I have set up a guard around you. I have built a wall of protection around you. I have stationed my warring angels outside of the wall and on top of the wall. I have created a safe place for you through the battle.
I am your protection and I am your refuge. I will protect you forever. Wait inside the walls for the battle to end. When it is all clear, I will let you know and we will go out and conquer the next things.
I love you daughter and I will not see you harmed. I will turn everything for your good.
My prayer:
Thank you God for teaching me about being correctable. I lived so much of my life getting defensive when people were critical instead of looking to see what truth there might be in their criticism. As you know, I still struggle with it at times.
Looking at others, I can see how much better all of our lives could be if we were able to listen to and change as a result of criticism that is given in love. I watched a dear friend lose their job today and it was because she could not hear the critical feedback she had been given. Instead, she got defensive and came up with all of the reasons that it was not her fault.
How many times have I done that God? How many opportunities have I missed out on because I was too proud to receive correction?
God, you have brought me a long way in this but help me to be even better. Help me to be like King David, who even when he was King over all of Israel immediately repented and turned from sin as soon as someone, anyone, pointed it out to him. He didn't get defensive. He didn't get angry. He just looked at it honestly, took responsibility, repented and asked for forgiveness. I want to be like that God.
I love you Jesus. Thank you for your forgiveness.
What God Said Tonight:
Sometimes it is easier for people to look at themselves in the mirror when they ignore the flaws within them. However, the true reflection will always come through in the end. You cannot lie to yourself forever. Truth will always prevail in the end.
I don't say this to be harsh. Hear it with the love that I am sending it on. It is because I love you that I won't let you lie to yourself forever. It is because of my love that truth must be known.
Seek me and you are seeking truth. Truth can be harsh but it is always the best in the end. Face your flaws today and you will be less flawed tomorrow. True growth comes from the recognition of and direct combat with your flaws.
I love you and you are perfect to me. You are covered in the blood and I see you as whole and beautiful. You are a royal priesthood and you are my beautiful bride. I see you as whole. Being open to correction brings your daily experience into closer alignment with my view of you. I love you, now and forever.
My prayer:
Awesome God. I believe we are on the cusp of a great change and a great new journey. Times of change are exciting and you know me, I love the next new thing. But they are kind of frightening too. What if I get it wrong? What if I miss your voice and make the wrong choices? What if I miss what you have for me?
Those are my fears God. I know that you have good plans for me and for us. I don't doubt that you have plans and I don't doubt that they are good. I sometimes doubt my ability to know what you want and to make the right decisions.
God, please give me wisdom and understanding to make the right decisions. Guide me always God.
What God Said Tonight:
You don't need to worry. I am speaking and you are hearing and you will make the right choices. Not because you are perfect; but, because I am. You have your heart set on my heart. You want the things I have planned for you. That means that you will make the right choices.
I will help you of course. I want you to make the right choices. I want you to experience all that I have for you. I am not going to try to trick you so you miss it. I allow you to go through tests but I always play fair. I will never try to trick you.
You hear my voice, you see the patterns in the messages, you have done everything I have asked you and a few more things. Our next adventure together is awesome. That is why there is so much opposition against you right now. The opposition is not because you are making wrong choices. The opposition is because the enemy is scared, again. You scare him because I am in you and because you are after my heart.
You declared war a couple of weeks ago. The enemy will not lay down and surrender but it will be defeated. You have me on your side. I love you daughter. Soldier on.
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.
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.
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.
