Fix me...

My prayer:

Fix me God. Not for my sake but so that I don't miss the opportunity that you have for me that could bless so many millions of people. You know my weaknesses and I can absolutely see how they could keep me from the "promise land" that you have been showing me. But, I don't know what to do about it. So, please fix me if I need to be fixed. I don't want to miss what you have for me. 

What God Said Tonight:

The "fix" is already accomplished through my sacrifice for you. 

Your weaknesses are only opportunities for me to be strong in you. Your faults are only opportunities for me to heal and prepare you to heal others. 

I never ask you to be perfect. You are already perfect in me. I never ask you to fix yourself. Your fix is in me. I never asked you to deal with your issues so I can use you. I can use your issues as easy as I can use your strengths. 

Stop worrying, please, Just let me love you. I really will take care of the rest. 

Diamond vision...

My prayer:

Good stuff God! What a fantastic night! Love what you are doing, love what you are building, LOVE YOU! 

I know there are challenges, hurdles and struggles we will go through but at least for tonight, I can see how it is all worth it...SO worth it! 

Thank you God for letting me be a part of your plan.

What God Said Tonight:

My vision, my plans are like a crystal or a diamond. I have a core to the plan but how we get there and what we do with it is not fully determined until you choose. 

There are many options and they are all beautiful and they will all accomplish the core purpose. I get delight out of seeing what you choose and how you choose to take us there. That is fun for me. 

This is a journey that we walk together.

Rest...

My prayer:

THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU...THANK YOU!!!!!!!

What God Said Tonight:

You know I love a grateful heart my child. 

I love you. 

Rest in the peace that is mine tonight. Rest in the complete assurance that you are mine and I am yours. Rest in the confident knowledge that all of my plans for you are good. Be assured that your days, your purpose, your future has only just begun and the best truly is yet to come. 

Good night my child.

The future is good...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I need you and your power manifested in so many areas of my life right now. And, they are all rather urgent. If you don't make these things happen, they are not going to happen. If they don't happen, I need a new plan and new direction. 

Thank you for healing, thank you for direction, thank you for provision and thank you for favor! You are amazing and I love you so much!!!

What God Said Tonight:

I am here and working on your behalf. I did not fall asleep. I did not look away. I am on the job and I will not let you down. 

I am in you and you are in me and we will see the future together. I see the future and I know that it is good. You can see me and know that I am good. 

Love you and rest in the complete assurance that I am working on your behalf, even right now.

The judge...

My prayer:

Wonderful God. I know we are not supposed to judge people and I really try hard to stay out of that role. But, I have to admit, sometimes, like today, when I find out that someone I know and trust is not the person I thought they were, or at least did not behave in a way that I thought they could (or at a minimum in a way I hoped they wouldn't), it is just hard. It is hard when people disappoint me. I don't expect anyone to be perfect but I had hoped for better from this person. 

Wow, as I am writing this I realize just how judgmental it is! Who am I to decide that someone else went too far over the line? Would I want someone else to do the same to me, NO. 

I guess it really doesn't matter. We are human and flawed. You covered us with your sacrifice. Anything we do or don't do is between you and us, not between us and us. 

Thank you for shining the light on my attitude. I will try to be more careful.

What God Said Tonight:

I did not come to condemn the world but to save it. I am not interested in pointing out errors, I am interested in restoring wholeness. I am the judge, but I have given a pardon through my son so that you, each of you, can know my love, know me and live the life I intended for you. Not the life of payment. 

I am guiding and directing you because you invited me into your life to do so. Not as a taskmaster and not as a judge. I have the authority and power to be both but I choose to be your friend.  

I ask that you have that same grace for those you love. 

Painted brick houses...

My prayer:

Life is good, you are great and I am ready to hear your voice...

What God Said Tonight:

Little brick houses of different bright colors, lined up along the road. In each, there is a family, a person, who has hopes, dreams, fears, and joy. Each one has a family that is trying to find their way through this life. Each one of them has a way of knowing and getting to know me. 

I don't see any theological requirements in that picture. I don't see any limitations in that picture. I only see people.

Every celebration will turn into a new mission, a new season. Every challenge will provide knowledge and understanding for the next challenge. Life can be really exciting if you see what is happening in the spiritual realm. 

End times...

My prayer:

One look at today's (or any day's) headline news stories and I have no doubt that we are in the end days that you described God. I guess I just didn't really realize that I would be living through them. Kids getting shot in schools, police shootouts shutting down highways, people being held hostage in a convenience store, and people walking up and hitting strangers hard enough to knock them out and kill them...for no reason. And that is just my neighborhood. Start looking globally and the story gets even more complicated. 

Sometimes when I get to thinking about it I become afraid, other times I get angry, and sometimes, most of the time, I ignore it, just so I can cope and live out each day. But, sometimes, every once in a while, I recognize how amazing it is that I am alive right now and witnessing the final hours of this season of humanity. Sometimes I get excited about what you will have for me to do in these days. Sometimes I recognize the privilege and the trust that you are showing by having me be alive during this season. I am ready God, let's do this!

What God Said Tonight:

It is not about the money or the numbers anymore. It is not about control anymore. It is now about the pure and complete relationship with and in me that people can be saved from sin and the effects of sin. 

Now is the time for people to know me, face to face and with no distance or interference. Now is the time that people need to get serious about what they believe and who they trust. 

The time for game playing is over. The time for truth has arrived. And nothing else will set you free.
