Reflections...

My prayer:

Awesome God, I am too tired to think but never too tired to listen. What is on your mind tonight?

What God Said Tonight:

Life is a series of reflections. People reflect the attitudes and the ideas of the people around them. Spirits reflect the spirits that are around them. There is a saying that birds of a feather flock together, which is true; but I say, birds that flock together become more like each other. 

Always consider the people you are spending the most time with. Know that whatever you see in them, it is likely reflected in you whether you realize it or not, both the good and the bad. 

That is one of the reasons I want to hang out with you all of the time. The more time we spend together, the more you reflect me. The more you reflect me, the more the people around you reflect me. The more they reflect me, the more the people around them reflect me. That is how we win the world for my Kingdom. 

I love you. Let my love be reflected in you.

Think on good things...

My prayer:

What a wild week God! Struggles and triumphs, sickness and health, rest and hectic business. Kind of a week of opposites. I have no idea what to expect from tomorrow. But really, I don't ever know what to expect from tomorrow. You said it best when you said we are not promised tomorrow. Tomorrow might not even come. 

I think I forget that and get complacent thinking that I know what tomorrow will bring, but I really don't. Thank God I know you are in charge so even though I don't know, I know that you do and you will take care of everything. Mmmm, now that is a good thought to rest on tonight.

What God Said Tonight:

Look around. Everything is paused for a second. Like a painting, you can capture snapshots of life sometimes. Sometimes those pictures are good and sometimes they are bead. It is easy to remember the bad ones but you have to work to hang onto the good ones. 

Bad times come to everyone. My people, choose to remember the good times. Keep them fresh by reliving and retelling them. Keep the art of storytelling alive and share your blessings, your blessed moments with all that you know. It will multiply the blessing out and back. 

There are some things you can't order or control but you can control what you think on. THINK ON GOOD THINGS and your life will be better regardless of what you go through. 

Wow...

My prayer:

Wow, wow, WOW!!! Amazing God! I could not have asked for a better day! You took care of everything again! From the moment the first song played and was so perfect, I knew that you were completely in charge and everything else simply fell into place. I stepped out in faith and you took care of the rest. THANK YOU!! Then, the confirmation of Mom's complete healing, THANK YOU!!!! Then, the completion of your healing in me, THANK YOU!!!!! You are awesome God and I am SO GRATEFUL!!!

What God Said Tonight:

I had fun today too. Thank you for trusting me and believing that I would do what I said. You would be surprised how often that does not happen. 

I love you and I have more adventures for us. Today is a beginning, not an end. Today is the launching pad, not the landing pad. Wait until you see tomorrow and the next day. You are going to be amazed at all that we will do together. 

I have waited for a long time to be able trust that you will do what I say when I say it, knowing that I know what I am doing. There is a deep love and trust that is required for that kind of obedience.  Obedience in fear is an ugly and destructive thing. Obedience in love strengthens the love and accomplishes great things.

Stepping out in faith...

My prayer:

Awesome God! I am feeling so much better! Thank you for healing me!!

Tomorrow, you have asked me, or provided for me an opportunity that is so far out of my comfort zone, I am a bit freaked out. I don't know how to do this thing on my own talents so I really need you to show up. God, I need you to give me the words you want to be said. I need you to be in charge of the whole thing and I need you to anoint what they say and what I say so people are encouraged. 

Wow, I am pretty needy tonight! I am "stepping out in faith" on this one God and I don't want to make a fool out of you or of me. Thank you for listening.

What God Said Tonight:

I have told you that if you stand up for me, I will stand up for you. You are standing up for me tomorrow so I will stand up for you. 

The past years have been preparation for this time. Your life has been preparation for this time. Each new opportunity, each time where you need to go beyond your natural abilities, those are the times to take everything you know and you have learned about trusting me and walk into the new season with courage and with hope. 

I love you and I will not let you down. You will see my glory in this. You will be my light and my ambassador and you will not let me down. I love you. I love you. I love you. If you forget everything else, remember that.

Stomach flu...

My prayer:

Awesome healing God, tonight I need to ask for me. I need healing. This stomach flu kicked my butt today and I need complete restoration to do all the amazing things that you have for me this week. God, I thank you that by your stripes and your sacrifice, I am healed. I know you are Jehovah Rapha, my healer and I put my faith in your healing power. Thank you Jesus!

What God Said Tonight:

My healing power is active and working in you right now. You will have all that you need to do all that you have been called to do. I do not call you to things that I will not make a way for you. 

Trust in me and all that you know of me and get some rest. Tomorrow is a new day.

Not good enough...again...

My prayer:

All knowing God. My thoughts are scattered again tonight. I am not as good of a person as I want to be. I get tired of messing up, hurting people, not being all that you called me to be. I know I will never be perfect but I want to be better than I was today. 

God, help me to be better tomorrow than I was today. Help me to be a bigger and better blessing to the people around me. Help me to better recognize your opportunities. I can live with myself tonight if I have hope that you will make me better tomorrow. Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

You my dear are in a constant state of construction. As long as you are alive, you have the opportunity to be and do better. You have the opportunity to grow and to learn. Life, is a great opportunity to be the best you that can be. 

However, remember that even at your best, it is never good enough to earn your salvation. I provided that for you. You don't ever have to earn that. It is my gift and is not earned but received. 

Being the daughter of the most high God gives you a starting place that is better than you could have ever hoped for on our own. The rest is up to you. The level of maturing and blessing in your life is up to you. How you treat other people and what you do with the gifts I have given you is up to you. Each choice you make that is in agreement with my will shall result in greater levels of blessing, joy and peace. 

Make good choices, repent when you mess up, and remember that I am your God and your salvation. My mercies are new every day. Tomorrow is a new day with new opportunities. 

Into the details...

My prayer:

My God. You showed up and showed out again tonight and I am so grateful that I get to serve you!!! You literally took care of every last detail of this event, down to the last second. That is so like YOU! :D LOVE YOU LOVE YOU LOVE YOU!!! 

What God Said Tonight:

I am into the details. I care about the details. I am a big vision God but I also care about the hairs on your head. 

I know that tonight was important to you. It was important to me too. When you trust me, fully trust me like you did tonight, I can take care of every last detail. 

I still need you though. I need you to show up. I need you to follow my voice and be my hands, be my feet. I need you to hear and follow my voice. Not everyone can hear me yet so those who do, I need you to hear and to do. 

I have an army of volunteers that I am growing and training daily. Where we are going will require great trust and great obedience. Tonight was good training for that time. 

I love you daughter. You did good. Not in what you did bit in how you trusted.
