I want more...

My prayer:

Intimacy. I don't know why but I am really hungry for intimacy. Thank you for the intimacy in worship tonight God. Thank you for the intimacy with the friends you have put in my life that worshiped with me tonight. Thank you God. I want more. I want the clarity of thought and understanding that comes when I am intimately connected with you. During those moments, everything makes sense. I know what is important and what isn't. I understand...everything. The world makes sense and there is peace. I want more...

What God Said Tonight:

You heard me speaking before you stopped talking. The answer to more intimacy with me is easy. You want me to be closer to you, get closer to me.

I am not afraid of intimacy. You can't get too close to me. I will always welcome and cherish intimacy with you. But I will never force it on you. You will always need to come closer to me if you want me to come closer to you.

The days of me choosing a people and forcing myself on them are over. That doesn't work well. I love you more than you can know and I want to live in constant intimacy with you but only if and when you want it. I love you and I am always here when you are ready and when you want it.

Who you are...

My prayer:

All powerful God. My thoughts and emotions are all over the place again tonight. It is making it hard to focus and talk about any one thing. Sometimes life feels like a boat in a stormy sea and I am just trying to hang on. Other times it seems so perfect and I feel like I can take on the world. The crazy thing is, I can go from feeling one way to the other at the snap of my fingers. 

I know that when I am trusting in you that life is supposed to even out; because knowing that you are taking care of it all brings peace. And maybe that is happening. Maybe without you I would really be all over the place? Or, maybe I am not trusting you enough or not often enough?

Uggh! Tired of listening to me talk. What is on your mind God? Is there anything you need/want from me tonight? Anything I can do that would make you smile? Love you!

What God Said Tonight:

You know your foundational teaching. You know that who you are is defined by me, your creator, not by your feelings. You know that your feelings can fool you. You know that your feelings are one of the first areas that your enemy tries to trick you. Foundational stuff daughter. Stuff you know. Now, remember to live it, always. 

I don't need anything from you tonight but I want you to remember who I say that you are. I say that you are a royal priesthood. I say you are the head and not the tail. I say you are above and not beneath. I say you are the daughter of the most high God and that you are loved more than anyone can imagine. I say that I created you for great things. And, I say that I will guide you all the days of your life. 

That is what I say about you. That is who you are. That is what you must hold onto no matter what you are feeling. 

Feelings are weird. They can add great joy to your life but they can fool you. You should not make decisions as important as deciding who you are by consulting your feelings. Who you are is wonderful because I am in you. 

Heir to the blessing...

My prayer:

Your favor God, I LOVE YOUR FAVOR!!!! Thank you for blessings I don't deserve. Thank you for connecting me with people who I would never have met without your help and your guidance. Thank you for letting me be a help to some people today. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!

What God Said Tonight:

I am glad you appreciate my favor in your life but try not to sound so surprised. I want the best for you  You are my child and I want to see you succeed. Like any good father, I want to see you blessed, loved, and fulfilling the dreams of your heart. 

It is my great pleasure to bless you. My children are heirs to a great fortune, now and in eternity. The inheritance is there for any who will receive it and me. I love you daughter. Continue to walk in the blessing. I have intended it for you.

God's storm...

My prayer:

Awesome God. What a great day! Not because of anything that happened but I am simply filled with happiness and joy tonight! Worship with you tonight was fantastic. Add the great work out on top of it and I am simply happy. It feels good. No pressure, no worries, just happy. I hope this lasts for awhile...I like it! How are you doing?

What God Said Tonight:

I am whole, complete and content. I am true shalom, nothing missing and nothing lacking, It is the same thing that I want for you an your life. Completeness with nothing missing and nothing lacking. 

As I look over the skies tonight, I see the clouds stirring up for a storm. Not anything that will happen soon, but just the beginning bubblings. The storm is not one to fear. It is one that will bring much needed water to dry lands. It is a storm that is carefully planned. Don't let the storm worry you. See it and recognize it as the thing I told you about. Recognize it as my tool to bring the water back to the places and people that have dried out in the harsh environment that they have been living in. 

I love you daughter. Receive my peace as you see the storm coming. 

Enjoy life...

My prayer:

Wonderful Father. Life has been so serious lately. I want to just enjoy you tonight and celebrate who you are. 

You are my everything God. You are my peace and you are my joy. You are the reason to get up each day. You are my assurance that everything is going to be all right. You are the color in the sunrise and the glow in the sunset. You are a sweet voice on the wind when I am feeling all alone. You are wisdom when I run out of answers. You are health and healing when the doctors have given up. You are everything God and I love you SO MUCH!

What God Said Tonight:

I am. I am all that you say and more than you can imagine. But, you are my child. You are tghe person I created you to be with a call and purpose to your life. I didn't make you only to exist and to struggle. I made you to rejoice and to celebrate. 

I made you to bring joy and to have joy. I made you to spread my word and to rejoice in the effect that it has on my people. I created you for a purpose, absolutely, and I created you to rest in my love, my joy, so you can enjoy it all. Enjoy everything I made for you. 

One day, we will spend all day in celebration and living in constant joy. Take time to practice that once and awhile. Laugh for no reason. Sing louder than you should. Dance...just dance, a lot. 

I love you daughter and together we can enjoy life no matter what is happening around you because I will always take care of everything.

Prosperity...

My prayer:

Mighty God. My thoughts are scattered all over again tonight. Today was great. Wonderful opportunities to help people, great time with friends, great service, and then you top it off with the notice that the 501c3 was finally approved! All GREAT stuff!! 

I guess the common theme throughout today was prosperity and what makes the difference between someone prospering and them not prospering. God, if we could really figure that out, WOW, so many struggles and worry would be done. I know what you have taught me and you continue to prosper me way beyond what I deserve which I am SO GRATEFUL for. Then I see others who have the same knowledge I do, doing the same things I am doing and they are struggling. 

The message today at church was interesting and the scripture about those who conceal their sin do not prosper and those who confess it receive mercy. I had not noticed that scripture in the past. Is that all of it? On top of putting you first in everything and being in right standing with the tithe of course. That doesn't make complete sense because I know there have been times when I did not own up to my sin and you still took care of me and prospered me. 

God, I am tired of seeing your people, your precious children, living with less than enough. Can you help us/me to understand? 

What God Said Tonight:

I am the owner of a thousand cattle on a thousand hills. I created gold I can make gems at the blink of an eye. I have more than enough to take care of all of my children. What father denies his children the things they need to survive? A father, a loving father, only denies his children when having that thing they think they need will do more harm than good. 

I can't give you an answer that applies to every situation. Each situation is different. Each struggle has its own purpose and I have a plan for each and every one of my children. What I can tell you is that I am still in charge and I have a plan for each one. I can tell you that I will not let any of my children fall beyond the ability to get back up. I can tell you I will never turn my back on my children. I will never forsake them. I will never leave them behind. 

There are the basic principles that you have learned so well. Give and it will be given back to you pressed down, shaken together and running over. You know that I will never let you out give me. As much as you give, I will always multiply it back to you. You know that principles around tithing. You know the principles around the confession of sin. You know the bones of the plan. The rest, is me working things out for the good those that love me. It doesn't always look like I am working it out, but I am.

Trust me to love my children and to take care of them. Trust me and let them see your trust. I am here for you always and forever. 

Miracle season...

My prayer:

Mighty God. I can't think of anything to say tonight. I love you and I am grateful for today. It was a good day. What do you want to talk about?

What God Said Tonight:

This is a time and place to see miracles. I will be doing more and more miraculous things not only to get people's attention but also because you will need the miracles to survive the season we are in. 

No matter what you see or what you hear, never stop remembering that I am in charge and I will take care of everything. When you start to feel overwhelmed and you start to worry, stop, remember who I am, and trust that I will take care of it. 

I am telling you this now because there are times coming up where you will need to know this but you won't be able to hear it at the time. I will remind you. I will remind you of this message tonight. 

In the meantime, let this message grow in you. Let this seed sprout in you so that you have so much confidence in who I am that it will be instinct by the time you need it. I love you daughter and I will never let you down.
