Cleaning out the old...

My prayer:

Wonderful God. Today was long and tiring but I need our time together before I go to bed. 

I want to hear about what you want to do. What is on your agenda? I want to know how your day was. I am a little tired of me so let's talk about you tonight.

What God Said Tonight:

You had a good day of cleaning out the old. I am doing the same. I am cleaning out the old to make way for the new. 

It is a new day, a new season, and there is a new covenant that has yet to be truly understood. My grace is more than what you know. My love is more powerful than you have seen. My power is more complete than you recognize. 

I am launching a new season where those who are willing can see the true depth and length of my gift. I am launching a new season where those who are willing will experience my power and my love. 

I am excited about this new season and I will take all who are willing into it with me. Come along and I will show you great things. 

I love you daughter. Go and rest. Tomorrow has new joy, new tasks, new life in it.

Hunger for the truth...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I am completely devoted to discovering and understanding the complete truth of you and who you are. I cannot be satisfied with less. I can't be satisfied with not knowing, not understanding. I cannot be satisfied with the status quo. 

I know you are perfect and I fully believe that. So, anything that does not line up with what you have said is a result of my lack of understanding. God, help me to understand. Help me to know the "why" always.

What God Said Tonight:

I love your curiosity and hunger for the truth. It will take you to many interesting places, as it has already. But also know that my revelations to you are timed and specific to what you need when yo need it. I cannot share everything with you right this second because it would not make sense. It would overwhelm you and you would not understand how it applied to your life. 

Continue to hunger for the truth but know that I will give you the knowledge you need when you need it. I will not let you go into any situation unprepared. I will equip you for every eventuality and every circumstance. 

I love you and I made you  and I will provide for you everything you need, I promise. 

Rejection...

My prayer:

Abba. I am working really hard to not be offended tonight God but I am failing. I know getting offended doesn't do me or anyone else any good. I also know that it is ridiculous for me to be offended in this case anyway; but knowing that doesn't keep me from feeling it. 

Rejection, even rejection over something I didn't really even want, still stings. 

God, help me to have peace over this. Help me God to not get caught up in my pride and to be humble. Help me to love and not get bitter or angry. Those are all things that I know you would want me to do (and not do) but I will need your help. I can't do it on my own.

What God Said Tonight:

I am your peace and I am your identity. I have opened up some opportunities and I have closed others. You are entering into a new season and not everyone or everything can go into the new season with you. Your good byes and closed doors are not rejections, they are simply the evidence of a new season in your life. 

You have been hungering for something new. You have been so bored with the status quo. You know that to bring in the new I have to clear out some of the old. I need to make room in your life. 

You know that if you really wanted it, I would be happy to give it to you. I would be happy to keep that opportunity and those people in your life But truth is, we are on a new road and a new journey and you will need to be free to follow my voice. I can't have you tied to other obligations. 

And, I know you, if they would have asked you would have said yes. You  know you are not good at saying no when people ask for your help. 

SO, truly, let it go knowing that this is my will. There is no reason to wonder about the reasoning behind their actions because the truth is, I am the reason behind their actions. Be grateful that they listen to my voice as you do and that they are obedient.

Gray...

My prayer:

My God, my friend. Thanks for getting me through this day. With 3 hours of sleep, I thought it was going to be a disaster but you brought me through, as always. 

God, I love your consistency. I love that you are the same yesterday, today and forever. I love that you are so complex that even if I spent every moment of every day for the rest of eternity, I could never know all of you.

Keep teaching me about you. Keep showing you to me. I want to know all of you. You fascinate me. 

What God Said Tonight:

You have seen the black and white of things but now you are getting to know the gray. Not everything in this world is clear cut. Some things are. My love for you. My goodness. My truth, those are all very black and white.

But many things are gray. many things don't fall into the convenient buckets that you try to put in your life to give you a sense of control. I will continue to show and teach you about the gray. In the gray is much of the excitement of life. In the gray is your free will. In  the gray is the artistry of life.

I love you and always will. Now that is black and white. Should you take the new job opportunity, that can sometimes be gray. The gray stuff, which is most of life, is where you get to choose, and I knwo you love to choose.

Unselfish love...

My prayer:

Thank you Daddy! You took care of everything today, just like you always do. 

I admit that I had a little doubt early on when it looked like it was all going to fall apart, but just at the perfect time, you brought all of it together. You do that so often. You are never early but you are always on time. It is so true that it has become cliche. 

But really, I am just grateful that you do show up. I am grateful that you always know the right timing. I am grateful that you find something to love in me and that you bless me like crazy.

What God Said Tonight:

I have not left you or forgotten you ever. I am constantly thinking about you and constantly working on your behalf. 

In the world, with people, they don't have the capacity to have your best interest before their own all the time. It is not human nature. Some people have come close but it is the rare thing, not the norm. 

It is one way that we are different from each other. 

I am love and love gives. Love thinks about you before it thinks about itself. You can trust me to always think of you first because it is my nature. My God nature. You have human nature, I have God nature. My God nature will not allow me to ever forget you or put you second. 

You are always my number one. Love you.

Timing of truth...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I have a lot on my mind but mainly just boring details of life. Nothing profound or wonderful. 

I do want to thank you for renewing my brother's dream! I forgot how fun it is to watch you bless new believers. It seems like when someone is new to living life with you, you tend to move so quickly and profoundly in their lives. It is so fun to watch you bless him!

There is a lot going on tomorrow God and a lot that could go wrong. I ask for you to be in complete charge of it all and working it all out for my good like you do. Thank you for always taking such good care of me God. 

I LOVE YOU!

What God Said Tonight:

I have waited to tell you something, to share something with you. I have waited because the timing of knowledge is as important as the knowledge itself. Not everybody is ready to hear the whole truth all of the time. 

I speak in parables a lot for that reason. I speak in images and stories so that people can discover the truth when they are ready. Until then, it is just a nice story that people can ignore. Don't get angry when people ignore the story. It is just not their time yet. 

I have you at a place for great revelation. I have you here because in this time I will need warriors on earth who will stand strong in me no matter what. I will need warriors who know the truth, the whole truth. I will need you to know the truth. 

I have prepared you and I will reveal more truth to you each day. It will be like building a brick foundation, one piece at a time. but, once built, nothing will shake it. 

Be alert to me and my words. Be ready for knowledge in and about things that you thought you already knew. I am giving you new levels of knowledge and understanding because it is your time. 

Safe in the midst of treachery...

My prayer:

My God. I need wisdom. You have said that when we lack wisdom we should ask for it and you will give it to us so I am asking. There is so much going on right now, both the things I can see happening and the things that I sense are happening in the spirit realm. 

God, I ask that you help me to understand what is going on and what, if anything you want me to do. 

What God Said Tonight:

The activities and things going on should not be unusual to you or strange. They are nothing more than the tired old tricks of your enemy. He is whispering doubt in your ear. He is telling you that you are less than you are. He is trying to distract you so he can get you off track. 

I have seen his plays so many times and he never really has anything new. It is lies, deception, and every attempt to separate you from people, your destiny and from me. 

He cannot succeed. He will not succeed. 

You are covered in my blood. You are set apart. You have a purpose and a plan on your life that cannot be cancelled unless you yourself choose to cancel it. I will not allow any weapon to harm you. I will not allow any enemy to triumph over you. 

I am in this battle with you and I will fight, I will win. I have you completely covered. You do not need to worry. I have you safe in the midst of his treachery. Trust me to be the God I have shown you  that I am. Trust I am.
