Birth pangs...

My prayer:

Woohoo! Day 1 of crazy week is done and I survived. Thank you Jesus!! Only 4 more days to go. 

Thank you for joy God. Your joy is so wonderful. In the middle of chaos, your joy can just walk right in and give a whole new perspective. 

Your gifts are really so wonderful, joy, peace, love, healing and more. You give the best gifts! Just sitting in your awesome tonight God. Can't wait to hear what you have to say.

What God Said Tonight:

I have anointed my servants. I have prepared my children. I have seen my gospel preached throughout the world. The time is nearly here. The time to move into the new season that will end the tyranny of satan on this earth. It is so close, you should be able to see it all around you. 

Do not get afraid. Never forget that these times are known, predicted and expected. It is the necessary birth pangs needed to birth the new heaven and the new earth where we will live together for all eternity. 

The time for a fully restored relationship with me, in my Kingdom, is at hand. 

Ah, my precious child. I would that you would know my love for you. I would that you could know the depth and the breadth of my love for you. 

Turn up the heat...

My prayer:

So beautiful. Beautiful day, beautiful love, beautiful you. You make life worthwhile God. You make life beautiful. 

I ask for your help this week. There is so much I need to do and so much I want to do (and not all of those are the same things). I can do all things through you (which you have shown me over and over). So, I ask for your help again. Give me the strength, the peace, the wisdom to do what needs to be done. Make me a blessing to those around me.

Thank you for always being there for me, always willing to help, always loving me. You are the reason I get out of bed each morning. You are the reason...well for everything. I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

I have placed a fire in you. It has been turned down to the pilot light for this last season because I needed to heal some things in you. But now is the time to turn up the heat. 

You are going to notice dreams being resurrected. You are going to notice a drive that you have not felt for awhile. You are going to notice that as you act with the fire in you, that things happen, things change, that the power and glory of your God is evident in all that you do. 

I will give you all that you need for this coming season. You are not in it alone. You my child are never alone. 

All that you need...

My prayer:

Thank you God! I needed rest and you gave me rest. I needed time to corporately worship you and you provided a time and a place. I needed an opportunity to minister and bless someone and you provided a beautiful opportunity. You provide for all of my needs! What a wonderful Father you are!

What God Said Tonight:

I am. I am all that you need. I say that not in the sense that with me, the rest of your needs go away. I say it in the sense that I have all that you need within me. 

I have the power and the wealth to give you everything you will ever need. My wealth is not just of rubies and diamonds, but I also have a wealth of knowledge, love, peace. 

I have ALL that you need and I will provide it to you my child when you need it. 

I love you and taking care of you is one of my favorite things to do.

Search in faith...

My prayer:

You are worthy of all praise. You are Holy. You are Mighty. You are Worthy! You are my everything. 

I may not know what tomorrow, or even tonight, may bring but I know as long as you are with me, it is enough. I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

You have been chasing rest all week and not catching it. tonight, you shall rest. Tomorrow, you shall rest. I will give you rest. 

You have been searching for open doors and new opportunities. I have opened doors and the opportunities are here. 

You have been searching for even closer relationship with me and you have found it. 

Search in faith and I will always help you to find that which you search for. I love you too my sweet child.

Enjoy...

My prayer:

Thank you God for laughter! There are few things better after a long and stressful day than being able to laugh until tears come out of your eyes. Thank you for joy. Thank you for fun. Thank you for a life that is not all struggle and striving; but a life with some times to just enjoy and have fun!

Love you!

What God Said Tonight:

Enjoy your life every second that you can. There is coming a time where those moments to enjoy are few and far between. But, as long as you are children of the Most High God, there will always be something to enjoy. Always something to celebrate. There will always be a victory. Either just won, about to be won, or in the midst of being won. There is always a place to find joy in me. 

Enjoy the sunrise, I made it for you. Enjoy the sunset, it shines for you. Enjoy the breeze, it blows for you. I created the world for my children. Enjoy every minute of it. 

Why pray?

My prayer:

God, I love living life with you. 

Thank you for your help today. Not that long ago, if something like that happened to me, I would have really lost it. But, just a few minutes to walk away and ask for your help, you gave me peace and direction and you worked it all out. Like you always do. 

Thank you for taking such good care of me God. Each day with you is better than ten lifetimes without you. 

What God Said Tonight:

I am your ever present help in time of trouble. You are my child, of course I will help you whenever you need it. 

I won't jump in without your permission though. I need you to ask, to invite me in. I created you with free will and I will respect that will. I will respect you. But, when you decide you want my help, I am never  more than a prayer second away from being there, helping you, and working everything for your good. But, I do need you to ask. 

I need you to ask for others as well. That is why your prayers for others are so important. Especially your prayers for people who can't pray for themselves, for whatever reason. Maybe they are too sick. Maybe tey are too hurt, emotionally, spiritually. Maybe they don't know how or that they can. Maybe they don't even know me. In those cases, in those times, when you intercede and pray for them, it opens the door for me to go in and help. 

Don't forget to pray. Don't forget to ask. It is VERY important. 

I love you.

Holy Spirit knowledge...

My prayer:

Wonderful Father. The older I get, the more things I know about but the less sure I am that I am right about anything. Even you. I know more about you today than I ever have before, but each new thing I learn about you makes me realize how incompletely I knew you yesterday and how much better I will know you tomorrow. 

Maybe that is part of where maturity comes from? The understanding that what I know today is more than I knew yesterday and less than I will know tomorrow and that all that I will ever know is nothing more than a splinter of what you know.

God, thank you for all that you have taught me. I pray and ask for discernment in the situations and challenges that come against me and the people I love. I ask that this discernment be out of your knowledge, not mine, so that it is truth and can actually help. Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

I am the keeper of all knowledge and the author of truth. I can only speak truth. I am the source of all true knowledge. And, I have sent you my Holy Spirit to share that truth with you and to help you. 

The Holy Spirit is my way of sharing my knowledge and the truth with you on a daily basis. It is my way of communicating with you while you remain on this earth. Without the Holy Spirit in you, you are handicapped and fighting the fight of faith with less intelligence and less weaponry than what you should and need to have. 

Always allow my Holy Spirit to be active in you so you have all of the benefits of my knowledge as you face this world and all of its challenges. Let me help you. Don't shut me out and don't ignore my promptings. They are ALL for your good. 

Love you sweet chid. I will teach you all that you need to know in the season that you need to know it. We are in this together.
