Changing perspective...

My prayer:

My mighty God and Lord. I close my eyes tonight and I see the green of the forest in springtime. I open my eyes and I see the snow and cold of March in Colorado. I was watching Nick Vujicic tonight and listening to how his story changes people's perspective. 

So much of what I experience in life is a direct result of my perspective and not so much a result of the circumstances. It has taken me a long time to learn that and I keep having to relearn it in parts of my life. 

God, I ask for a Godly perspective in every aspect of my life. Help me to see the truth and the potential in every situation, every person in my life. Help me to look away from discouragement and anything that is in opposition to how you think about things. I know that your thoughts are greater than my thoughts but you have also said that I have the mind of Christ. Help me God to look at life with the mind of Christ and not with my fallible, sinful mind. Your perspective is always better than mine.

What God Said Tonight:

How you look at yourself and your life may change over time. How you look at me will also change. Not because I change but because your understanding of me will change. Perspective is not a concrete stable thing. It is by it's very nature, constantly changing. The key is to guide it and herd it toward a positive outlook on a constant basis. 

You must not let your guard down in this respect. It is one of the areas that satan will first come after you. If he can change your perspective, as he did with Eve and Adam in the garden, he can get you to believe and do almost anything. 

Guard against it. Take your thoughts captive and keep yourself surrounded by things that give you a right perspective on life. Stay in my word, include inspiring people in your life, give yourself the opportunity to see and do inspiring acts. 

I will help but this is an area where you have to be an active participant. Your perspective is your responsibility. I love you daughter rest well for a new day tomorrow.

The essence of God...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I am dead tired. Thanks for helping me through the day at work. I am anxious to be back to 100%. This bout with this cold/flu or whatever name the evil spawn wants to take has reminded me how wonderfully blessed I am with divine health 99.9% of the time. 

God I send your word of healing to every person struggling with poor health tonight. God we join together and praise you for your healing power. If we can connect with even the smallest part of that power, we can be completely whole. Just like the woman with issue of blood. All she needed was to touch the hem of your garment. We are reaching out to you tonight Jesus, to touch the merest part of you and your healing power that we can have your miracle healing power working in our bodies. 

THANK YOU JESUS!

What God Said Tonight:

I am not just a healing God, I am healing power. I am not just a God of peace, I am peace. I am the substance of what you need. I don't just know about these things, they are the essence of who I am. 

So, if you need more healing in your life, for you or for others, you need to know me more, have more of me you. Like Paul, when I am completely present in you, so much so that people see me instead of you, when there is no line between your soul and mine, that is when you will see the crazy healing miracles. That is when even just the shadow that you cast will heal. My power will be spilling out of you. 

In the meantime, study me, know me, experience me and you will have all you need to see people healed, I love you sweet woman of God

Walking with God...

My prayer:

Mighty God, my brain is empty tonight. Sounds like the perfect opportunity to hear what you want to say! LOVE YOU!

What God Said Tonight:

I have walked a lot of steps with a lot of people over the years. Sometimes they were steps of joy and sometimes steps of pain. Sometimes we danced and sometimes we limped. I am your ever present help. 

Just because you get discouraged or angry does not mean that I go anywhere. I can handle your disappointment. I can handle your anger. I will NEVER leave you. I will walk every single step of your experience, for eternity with you. 

It is a promise I have made and I always keep my promises. I know you are not use to people who keep their commitments but I am God and I am a covenant God. That means, I will never let you down. 

Know that every step you take, every step, I am right there with you and I am ready for whatever you need. You don't have to scream to catch my attention, I am right there with you. ALWAYS.

Healing...

My prayer:

Awesome Jehovah Rapha. I am believing for the completion of your healing in me. I hate being sick for a lot of reasons but the biggest reason is because I know that it is not your will for your kids to be sick. So, on the rare occasions like now when I get sick, I know that I have something in me that is not of your will and I want it out NOW! I love you God and I leave this thing in your hands. Thank you for your healing power in my life!

What God Said Tonight:

I am your healing balm and I am covering you now. I am restoring you now. I am strengthening you now. I love you and I will see you made well and whole. I lvoe you daughter. Just rest in my healing power tonight. You will see a new day with new hopes tomorrow.

Multiple vision...

My prayer:

Awesome God. My thoughts are so jumbled tonight. I am super tired but extremely grateful for you healing me. I am convicted and motivated to do more for you but in the competing voices of what people want to do, am I losing sight of your will and your vision? 

I could continue with the contradictory thoughts in my head but maybe it is best if I hush up and listen. Love you God.

What God Said Tonight:

Who is responsible for outcomes? Is that you or me? Why do I call you to do Kingdom work? Because you say yes. You can say yes to  people too. I give many people vision and plans for the future and sometimes I want you to help them. Sometimes they want you to help them and sometimes you want to help them. That is all ok. I will bless the work of your hands. 

Anything that gets people closer to me and provides them the opportunity to choose me is in my will. Anything you do to support those things is good and right. 

I will tell you when you are down a wrong path. I will shut it down. You have already given your life to me and continue to commit your will to mine daily. I honor that prayer, that commitment and our covenant. 

Relax, know that I am God and that I am in charge. Do what is good and right. Love people and love me. Simple. Go and rest now. It will look better in the morning. 

One more...

My prayer:

Awesome God. Thank you for your favor again today. You work out everything to the good of those that love you. That is a real, true, today, promise and I am SO GRATEFUL. 

I love your presence. I love your love. I love how you take care of us. You are about ten levels above wonderful! God I ask for one more blessing tonight. Tell me what is on your mind?

What God Said Tonight:

I wait., I wait and wait and then I wait some more. My patience is long suffering but it is not quite infinite. I will not wait forever. I will at some point have to call an end to this season so we can go onto the next. 

I made a promise that one day, satan and his minions would be headed to the lake of fire where they can no longer torment this world and I intend to keep that promise.

But, each time I consider it, and I have considered it often, I see one more face, one more soul that hasn't chosen me yet and I think, one more day. One more day to give that one a chance. My compassion is ruling at this time. But a time will come when I have to put an end to it. 

I will keep my promise. But I will weep for those who don't make it. My heart already aches for them. Those who have not chosen me at the time of destruction will not have another choice and that breaks my heart. 

I love you child and it was my great pleasure to show you favor today. You have many more of those days to come. 

Slow change...

My prayer:

Amazing God. It seems like I am surrounded with messages of true worship and living with your promises in our lives. That seems to be the themes of this season. I love both of those ideas but I am not sure how to help make them happen. I need your help, wisdom, guidance, to know what to do. 

Telling people about it has not changed anything. Showing people has not changed anything. Teaching people has not changed anything. What will change it? Maybe I need to stop trying and let you take care of it? I don't know but I am here and wiling if there is anything I can do.

What God Said Tonight:

I challenge your assumption that nothing has changed. People are changing all the time. Sometimes those changes are like changes to rock. They are small and they are slow but eventually rock turns into to sand and the change is dramatic. Sometimes changes are fast and more easily discernible. However, after all is said and done, the change is no more real in the slow change than in the fast changes. 

You, live your life. Live it for me and tell people about it. Show people what living with me is like. You keep doing that and I promise you the change is happening, whether you see it or not. Be faithful, be patient, and be confident in me.
