Our relationship...

My prayer:

I think I am on the edges of understanding something God but I don't completely get it yet. It is about relationships and more specifically our relationship. 

There are preachers who focus mainly on what we, your kids, need to do to live a life with you. It is kind of like self help but the Bible is our instruction manual. You gave us a lot of advice and guidelines and truth is, they are good. When I am able to live my life according to those rules, my life is usually better. 

Then there are the preachers who preach about your Holy Spirit and the power of your anointing. These lessons focus on how, when we are able to partner with you and your power, we see actual miracles in our lives on a regular basis. This is true too. I know that when I rely on your Holy Spirit power, I see amazing miracles in my life and in the lives around me. When I rely on your power, I can do things that I could never do on my own. 

I think you started to show me today how both of things can be true but I want to talk through it with you and see if I am getting it or if there is more to understand. What I think you were telling me today is that it is all about our relationship. Like any relationship, if both parties are not fully engaged and participating in the relationship, the relationship will suffer. 

In our case, you have shown me the things that I can do to live the best life I can. So that is what I can do to hold up my side of the relationship. Then you bring your power, your Holy Spirit anointing. When put together, there is nothing we can't accomplish. 

Also, like any relationship, it is not perfect. There will be times when I let you down and don't do what I should be doing. There will be times when I think you should do something a certain way and you won't do it that way. But, what is perfect about our relationship is that there is always grace. There is always forgiveness and mercy. We can always restore the relationship because its base is real love. 

So, that is what I am thinking...how did I do? Love you God!

What God Said Tonight:

Not bad. You are listening again which is good. You are looking to understand the things in your life that don't make sense and that is good. I have more to teach you. 

I have more grace and love go give you. Your focus has been on what you can do for so long that you have missed out on the full understanding of my grace and my mercy for you. 

The one thing that you are missing is that while there is work involved in any relationship, there is also great joy. There is also love. There is also comfort and peace in being together. 

You have an assurance in our relationship that you will never have in any other relationship. You have the assurance of eternity You have the assurance that there is NOTHING that can separate us. You have the assurance that every time, no matter how many times, no matter how bad the offense, I will ALWAYS forgive you. I will also show you grace and mercy. That is the covenant of my blood that I shed for you. 

Once you get that in your heart, you will live in a new level of joy and peace and love that you have not known before. I am yours and you are mine, now and forever.

Wants and needs...

My prayer:

Awesome God. Today was odd. Sometimes I think that it is not good when I have too much time to think. 

When I am running at 100 mph just to keep up with everything I am doing, I have to really focus my prayer, my faith toward just those things that are most important. Versus days like today when I had time to let my mind wander to things that are not productive.I got caught up in my "wants" God, which are not always good for me. 

I pray God that you fulfill every need in my life and only those "wants" that agree with your will for my life. I love you God. Save me from my own wayward thoughts.

What God Said Tonight:

I have a vested interest in you and your life. I have invested a lot into you. You have invested a lot into me and my Kingdom. We are on the same side working toward the same goals. 

I want you to have more than your basic needs. I want you to live in the glory of my kingdom as a first son, a prince and heir of great, the greatest fortune. I have great plans to prosper you beyond what you have already seen. I will prosper you in every area of your life. You will have abundance. You will want for no good thing. I promise. 

I love you. You are precious to me and I will never forget you or leave you behind. 

Strong rope...

My prayer:

Amazing Father. Awesome teacher. Incredible savior. 

My life is wonderful because you are in it and in charge. It is really that simple. 

People wonder why I work so hard and spend so much time getting to know you and getting close to you. The answer is very simple. The more of you in my life, the better my life is. The better my life is, the better I can make other peoples' lives. The better other peoples' lives are, the better the world is. 

I love you so much God. Thanks for loving me first and loving me more!

What God Said Tonight:

We are woven together like a strong rope. We are still separate as are the cords of the rope; however, we are so woven together it is hard to imagine one without the other.

It makes you strong. It makes you beautiful and it makes you blessed.

Don't ever stop seeking me. Don't ever stop trying to know me. There is always more to know and we can always be closer today than we were yesterday.

The closer you get to me, the more miraculous your life. Things that use to tie you up in knots that you could not find a solution for, disappear in my presence as we get closer.

I love you and I am yours forever.

Lord of my life...

My prayer:

Another wonderful day God! Thanks for the beauty, the laughter, the company, and the rest. 

I was hoping to hear the news about the next big thing you have for us today, but I trust your timing. And truth is, as exciting as this new thing is, it scares me a little. It requires stepping out in faith in a whole new way and while I want to do it and I will do it, it is still a bit scary. 

Thank you for being patient with me. I pray God that your perfect will is accomplished in all things. I am yours God.

What God Said Tonight:

Don't over think things too much. When it is time for you to step out, you will and I will give you the courage and the strength to do so. 

Your life has been in my hands for a long time now. You chose me to be the head of your life, to be the Lord of your life and I take that responsibility seriously. 

Every truly great thing in your life has been because I set it up for you. You will succeed because I made you to succeed. You will prosper because I made you to prosper. You will accomplish great things for my kingdom because I made you to. 

There is only one thing you can do to mess that up. The only thing that would truly get in the way of your destiny is if you decide to not follow me. If you decide that you no longer want me to be the Lord of your life. That will take you off track. Anything else, I can work with. 

I will work all things to your good. Move forward in faith knowing that I am in charge. Choose me and you will never go wrong. I love you. Enjoy this time, it will not come again.

Release the blessings...

My prayer:

Blessed and highly favored, thank you Jesus! So many situations today God that I thought were going to be tough and you went in before me and worked it all out. YOU ARE SO GOOD TO ME! 

Thank you for all that you do for me and thank you for loving me. Thank you for favor, joy, peace, prosperity, and rest.

All honor, glory and credit goes to you God.

What God Said Tonight;

Your blessings are no mystery. You are my child, you know and understand how my kingdom works, and you are obedient. How can I not bless you?

I love you and I am never happier than when you are succeeding. 

Get ready for more. You have not even begun to experience all that I have for you. I have blessings stored up for you that I am waiting to release. The time will come soon when I can loose those blessings over your life. 

NOW...

My prayer:

BEST DAY EVER!!!!!!!! God you are awesome!!!! Rest, massage, run, amazing news about the next season you have for us that will change the world!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!! 

Awesome God, I can see the amazing future you have for us and I am so worried that I will mess it up. I am SO LESS than perfect and what if I do something to mess this thing up? 

God, please be bigger than my ability to mess it up. YOUR WILL BE DONE! I am all yours God. 

I love you so much. I want to be and do everything that you have for me. That is the deepest desire of my heart. Don't let anything get in the way of that God. 

LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!

What God Said Tonight:

I am your God, I am your friend. I am your healer, I am your redeemer, I am your husband. I am everything you need. 

You are my child and my bride and I will make sure that every last thing that I have determined for us to accomplish is done in my name. 

I am so excited for this next season. You are in my will and you will see the amazing and wonderful accomplishment of a plan that I have had in place since the beginning of time. It is time to see that plan come to fruition. I will see it all come together and you will change the world in my name. 

Now is the time, now is the season, you have been prepared and put into position and you will see my will accomplished in this thing. 

I love you and I will see you victorious in my name.

Wanting more...

My prayer:

Thank you God for a great day of rest and time to worship you. I think I am having some of that after ministry event crash feeling tonight. All the built up adrenaline, joy, amazement, comes to an end and leaves me wanting more. 

I am really greedy when it comes to you and your presence God. I am really greedy when it comes to seeing you do your stuff. I ALWAYS want more. I want more of you. I want more anointing. I want more miracles for me and for all the people around me. I want more. 

I hope that in this case, greed is ok because I don't think I can do anything to change it. 

I can't wait for the next big thing with you God. I thought that I wanted some time to rest and recover, but I am hungry for the next great thing...whatever that is. LOVE YOU!

What God Said Tonight:

I do have a season of rest for you but it is short, so I am glad that you are ready to go again.

Remember that you always need the rest, the Sabbath. For your day to day life, that is one day a week. For the fields it is one year out of every seven. The principle is the same. Work sic and rest one. Then, start again. 

When you get out of balance with that, the time that you work is not as effective as it should be, you get burnt out and you can't live the life I have for you.

So, enjoy this short rest and be ready for the next season, the next big thing, because it is coming sooner than you think. I love you.
