Love assignment...

My prayer:

You are so amazing God! This day, from the moment I woke up until this very moment has been so perfectly arranged by you! I love days like this. I love it when I can so clearly see your will and your purpose in every moment of a day!

Thank you for all of the amazing people you have put into my life. I am consistently blown away by the awesome, gifted, loving, supportive, praying, people you surround me with. It makes life so much easier to have amazing people around to love and support you. I am RICHLY blessed God and I am so grateful to you!

I guess it is pretty obvious that I am fresh from prayer and worship group. Life looks so much better after soaking in your presence for a few hours. I LOVE YOU!!!!!!

What God Said Tonight:

I have made you to be a shade tree for those who are hot. I have made you to be a comfort. I have made you to be a wise counsel. I have made you to be a grateful servant to your fellow man. I have made you to be and to do many things and you will do them all. But most of all, I made you to love you and to be loved by you. 

Never lose sight of love. Never lose sight of the primary purpose in all that we do, love. I am sending you out on a new mission and your only job on this mission is to love. Let them see my love in you. Let them experience a love that heals and a love that strengthens. Let them know the true love that comes only from me. Those are your marching orders. Keep it in the forefront of your mind. 

It will not always be easy to love on this mission but that is your assignment. I love you baby girl. You are so very precious to me. I will not let you be hurt. I will not let harm come to you. My love will protect you. Be confident in my protection and go out and love.

The rope...

My prayer:

I am getting excited God! You are clearly up to something and I can't wait to see what it is. I am a little nervous. I seem to be walking into a pretty volatile situation. But, I know that I am headed to the exact place at the exact time that you have planned so that can't be bad, can it?

I pray that your will be done God. That is really the only prayer request I ever need to make. Your will is perfect and your will is the best choice for any of us. So, I pray that your will be done in every situation, in every life, every day for eternity!

Thank you Jesus!

What God Said Tonight:

I am creating a cord of many fibers. I am knotting them all together to make a strong rope that will not break. 

The rope is my "church" and the it will save those who have fallen and need to be raised up. This church is not a place, it is not a building, but it is a unity of power through me. It is an agreement in faith for my will to rule on this earth. It is a consensus of thought that agrees with the mind of Christ. 

My "church", my family, my children are in  position and I am connecting them all to be the rope that will bring people in. I love you daughter.

God's frustration...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I need to thank you for the reminder today that the best way to have the life I want is to fill my life with people who are experiencing those things that I want to experience. It helps me learn and helps me have the faith that those things are possible. Funny how I can forget basic things that you have taught me and that I knew so well at one time. 

How do you put up with me God? You must get frustrated having to teach me over and over, having to forgive me over and over, having to provide, heal, redeem me. It must get old after awhile. Please don't lose patience with me God. I am very grateful that you are more patient, more kind, more forgiving, and more full of grace than I am. I am confident that I would not put up with me if I were you...now there is a weird way to think about it. 

Huh, I am pretty tired and I guess a little loopy. I better hush up and listen to you God. I bet it will be a lot more coherent! LOVE YOU DADDY!

What God Said Tonight:

We have all eternity together my daughter. Of course I will not lose patience with you. We are in this for the long haul. 

I only get frustrated when people stop trying. As long as you are trying, working to be all you can be in me, that is all I care about. I don't mind having to teach you things more than once as long as you keep learning them each time. I only get frustrated when you refuse to learn or refuse to try to learn. 

Seek me. I say that a lot because it is important. It is in seeking me that you will find your true path. It is in seeking me that you will find me. It is in seeking me that you will learn everything you need to know. 

And by the way, you didn't have to relearn anything. You just needed to be reminded. I will often remind you of things, that is easy. Remembering is the building blocks of your future. It is how you make right and better choices tomorrow than you did yesterday. 

Keep trying, keep seeking me and everything you need will be yours. I love you to my daughter. Sleep well.

Taking God for granted...

My prayer:

Mighty God! You are wonderful. It is easy to forget how amazing you are because you are so amazing all the time. I don't want to take you for granted. I always want to be in awe of you. God, there are so many people out there with inaccurate ideas of you. 

I pray that we see you clearly God, know you deeply, and NEVER take you for granted.

What God Said Tonight:

I like that prayer. It is easy to take for granted those things that are with you every day.

I promise that I will continue to show you and teach you new things. I promise that your days of learning are  not over. A life with me does not need to ever grow stagnant. I am the creator of the world and I know all things. I will never run out of things to teach and to show you as long as you are willing to seek me.

I love you. Expect me to shake things up once in awhile. Not only to see change but also so you don't get stagnant and complacent.

So beautiful...

My prayer:

So tired God. Two hours of sleep is not enough. Too tired to put thoughts together but never too tired to listen. I can't wait to hear your voice tonight. Usually when I am this beat, and I get completely out of your way, you come up with the greatest stuff. LOVE YOU!

What God Said Tonight:

You sparkle like silver and gold. When you get free of sin, you reflect my light and sparkle like precious metals and jewels. You are so beautiful when you are free of sin. When you allow my blood to wash you clean of all sin, you are more beautiful than you can imagine. 

I have created you in the image of me. When you were in your perfected form, before sin, you looked like me. You were glorious and so beautiful. That was stolen by sin. Your beauty was stolen by sin. 

But, I bought it back with my life and my blood. You have been restored to your former glory and beauty. You should walk proudly in that. You are not the person you used to be when you were covered in sin. You are now covered in my blood, washing you clean and making you ready. So beautiful.

Keep up the fight...

My prayer:

Mighty God, I want to see your glory. I want to see your power manifested in more lives. I want to live in the full manifested glory of your will and your power in my life. I want to see you do more in this time than you did in the days that you were here on earth with us. I want to see your people living the blessed and fulfilled lives that you want for them. I want to be in perfect obedience to your will. I want to live a life free of sin and sickness. I want you to be proud of me God. 

God, you have said that you will give me the desires of my heart. There they are. Please tell me if there is anything more I need to do or not do. Please tell me if I am doing anything to block it. I stand in anticipation of your magnificent glory!

What God Said Tonight:

You are in a battle within a war. You are a soldier in that war. You follow your commander's instructions because it is what you were trained to do and because you know the commander has a better view of the battle than you do. 

In the war, you will win some battles and you will lose some battles. You will wake up some days ready to attack and others you will have to force yourself into battle. Sometimes you think, "What is the point? I am only one person in this huge battle, this huge war. Does it really make a difference if I fight or not?" I am here to tell you it makes all the difference in the world. You  must keep up the good fight of faith for your own sake and for the sake of your army. 

You are in a fight for not only your life but for the lives of all of your brothers and sisters. Fight the good fight of faith, every day, every minute, every second of your life. 

We win the war, that is a given. But how you fare in the battle, the casualties and injuries you receive, the injuries your fellow soldiers receive will depend largely on how well you fight. Don't give in to discouragement. Don't give in to the ones who say it is not possible. Don't give in to the voice saying it is all too much and too hard. When I have I ever asked you to do something that I have not given you every last thing and ability you needed to do it? 

We are in this together and we are in it to win. I love you my soldier. Keep up the fight.

Bitter, discouraged and let down...

My prayer:

Mighty God. I want to come against bitterness tonight. Seemed like today was full of people bitter, discouraged, and feeling let down. It is so easy to get that way. Life is rough and every day there are so many things that can knock us down if we let them. 

God, I ask for your encouragement tonight. Remind us that with you in our corner, we can't help but win in the end. I pray God for hope that  will push out the bitterness and discouragement. I pray for mercy, grace and forgiveness that will push out the feelings of being let down. I ask God that you breath new life into us so we can be the people, the children of God that you created us to be. Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

Bitterness is a cancer that needs to be pulled out and killed at the root. The root of bitterness is almost never the thing that you first think it is. Bitterness has a way of twisting around so that it comes out at the oddest times. Search for that root. Find the root and you can get rid of the bitterness. 

Discouragement happens. I get discouraged sometimes. I once got so discouraged I wiped out the entire earth except for Noah and his family and the animals he collected. Talk about being discouraged! I had decided that everything I created was garbage and needed to be done away with. 

SO, don't get concerned when you get discouraged but don't let it keep you from trying again. Once I was done, and saw Noah and his family, I knew that I would never do that again and made a covenant with him and his decedents  What you do about discouragement is always a choice. Make the choice that gets you back on top of it. 

Then there is that feeling of being let down. That usually goes with the discouraged feeling. It will happen but if you trust in me, I will always come through for you. People may turn their back on you but I will be there and I will bring new people into your life. People may lie to you but I will always tell you the truth. People may hurt your feelings but I will comfort you. You have the people that you do in your life for a reason. When that reason is over, I will bring new people. Don't be angry with people because their season is over. Let them go knowing that I will bring new people for the new season. 

I love you so much. I will never leave you. Ever.
