Moving in with God...

My prayer:

Awesome healing God. I am not sure I am up for much tonight.

Thank you for healing me. Last night and today were rough but I am feeling much better, just worn out. I am so grateful for your never ending healing power!

Before I pass out and hopefully sleep soundly, I need, I want to hear your voice. What were you up to today other than healing me?

What God Said Tonight:

Healing is what I do. It is a part of the gift that I paid for you. I want to see you fully restored, physically, spiritually, in every way.

I paid the price so that you could be the person I intended for you to be, before the sin of this world got a hold of you. I made the garden for you and now, it is all about getting you back there. Back to a place of perfect peace and love. Back to a place where my Father, your Father, can stroll with you during the day.

But don't get me wrong. It is not about going back. It is moving forward into a future that has all the joy of the first Eden with all of the maturity, growth and the relationship that we have together now. It is a place of perfect peace. Nothing missing and nothing lacking.

I have gone to prepare that place for you. I have bought and paid for it. I can't wait to move you in. I love you. Go and rest.

Real love...

My prayer:

I love you so much. It has been awhile since I have told you how much I love you. I tell you a lot how much I appreciate you but sometimes I forget to tell you how much I love you for who you are.

Your presence is the sweetest and most lovely experience in my entire life. Your voice is the most comforting sound in the universe. Your love is the most healing power ever.

You are God all mighty, the great and mighty creator, lover of my soul, redeemer, teacher, savior, and friend. I love you more than I can ever say. My ability to express my love for you is never enough.

What God Said Tonight:

Higher than the highest tower and deeper than the deepest ocean. My love for you knows no barriers and no bounds.

I have pursued you through eternity just to know you.

You will never be without my love. You are forever mine and I am yours. Love, real love, never dies.

Flying...

My prayer:

Life is so weird right now God. I do not want to whine or complain, at all. But I am confused and feel like I should talk it out with you. You always know just what to say to me to help me get my feet back under me at times like this.

So, here we go. Nothing is horrible or tragic. Life is generally good but so much of it feels like a holding pattern. Once in awhile, I get that glimpse of purpose which we are walking into and I get SO EXCITED! But then, it is back to the mundane day to day life again.

God, it might be too much to ask, but what I want is to live a life that is truly glory to glory. I want to live a life where your presence is active and palpable in me 24/7. I want to live a life that is stuffed full of purpose. Where everything I do and everything I am has a purpose in your Kingdom and with your people. I want to live a life where your power to heal, restore, and redeem is constantly flowing through me. I want to live a life where my Sabbath rest is the day where I sit back and glory with you over all that you have done and all that you are...and that is it.

Is that possible. Can we, can I live like that?

What God Said Tonight:

Can it be done? It can. All things are possible through me. Has it been done? Not quite, although some have come close.

I love you sweet daughter and I know your heart. We just have to take a stepwise approach. If you were to have all that I want to give you right now, it would overwhelm you.

I show you pictures of your future to keep you hoping, to keep you motivated but those pictures are not for tomorrow. You have to crawl before you walk and walk before you run and run before you fly. But, you will fly.

Keep pressing. Keep learning. Keep seeking me. Keep asking me. Keep following me. Each day is one more opportunity to be one day closer to flying.

I love you and I am not in a rush. What we are building is for eternity. It has to have solid foundation to last. I am with you now and forever, my love.

Walking in season...

My prayer:

Made it to another Sabbath God! WOOHOO! Thank you for all of your help and unexpected blessings all week. I am ready to rest and rejuvenate with you. So very ready!

What God Said Tonight:

Absolutely everything has a time and a season. I have planned out those seasons. You are at your greatest level of peace and fulfillment when you recognize the season and walk in it fully.

Don't try to grow in a season of rest. Don't try to build in a season of destruction.

Know and understand the season you are in and participate.

That is an essential key to living a balanced life with me.

Love you.

The still, quiet place...

My prayer:

Today was a good day God. I got a lot accomplished. Thank you for your help in everything. Thank you for the new ministry opportunity too! Very excited that we get to go back and minister there again!

It was a good day God but I am wiped out. So tired I can't keep my eyes open. However, my ears are open and my spirit is open. Let me hear your voice.

What God Said Tonight:

The still, quiet place is my favorite place with you. Away from the commotion of life. Away from the worry. Away from the fear. Just you, me, peace and love. 

 

That is my favorite place. Please don't ever stop coming to the still, quiet place with me. Good night my love.

God wants to help...

My prayer:

Today was ROOOUUUUGH! It was if the day was one long unsolvable problem that I needed to try to solve and mostly failed.

It definitely got better when I got smart enough to take a breath and ask for your help. Thank you for always being there when I call.

God, I ask for peace, rest, and restoration tonight.

Thank you Jesus!

What God Said Tonight:

I never run out of strength. I never run out of answers. I am everything you need and I am always available. I am here for you, now and always. I am the answer, no matter the problem or the challenge.

You really do not have to do this on your own. I want to help, with everything. I only have to wait for you to come to me. While I am always here for you, I won't come to you, I won't help if you don't want me to.

Ask and keep on asking. Every time you need me, I will be there.

I love you and I don't ever want you to struggle through the pain and challenges of this life without me, without my presence.

The desert...

My prayer:

Wonderful Father. Thank you for the blessings of today. Thank you for bringing me through the challenges. Thank you that you have something new planned for my tomorrow.

I am looking forward to the next open door. I love being on your team!

What God Said Tonight:

The desert is not devoid of all life. The desert is a place where life exists but it is life that has to be strong enough to withstand the brutal conditions.

Sometimes your desert experiences are not meant to destroy the things in your life. They are meant to strengthen those things.

The desert is a place that will wean out the things in you that are not strong enough to survive and leave you with those things that can and will endure. Your desert season is not a place of weakness, it is a place of great strength.

Do not miss the value of the desert.
