Ripples...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. What are you up to? You have told me you have a plan and it is good. I believe you. I am searching after you and that plan. And then, a dream I thought was dead, suddenly has new life! Is this somehow the plan, the opportunity? If so, that is amazing and wonderful. And, I will need you to show me what the next step is. 

I love you Lord. I pray your will is done in every single thing.

What God Said Tonight:

The stars sparkle and shine long after their purpose is passed. You will see the after effects, the ripples of your life and your actions for a very long time. It is why your actions today matter so much. 

What you do today will shape tomorrow and many tomorrows after that. And, not just for you. Those ripples go out in the world and affect more people than you will ever know. You can ride this ripple for a bit. 

This is not quite the opportunity I was telling you about but it is a part of what we will do. It is the training ground and the launch pad. I do have great plans for you my child and I will love you forever.

God's glory...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. I am dreading tomorrow a bit. But even as I say that, I recognize that I have no idea what tomorrow will bring. I know what I fear it will bring but so often, what I fear never comes to be, especially when I turn it over to you and your will.

So, that is my prayer Lord, I pray that your will is done. I pray that whatever happens tomorrow, that your will is accomplished. If that is the outcome, then I can rest and be satisfied. 

I love you Lord, now and forever.

What God Said Tonight:

I have never seen a better time than now to trust in me. I have never known circumstances that needed me more than now. It is an exciting time for the glory of God to be present and evident in everyday life. 

That being said, there are challenges and tragedies and fear. It is in those times when my glory and power shines all the more. White looks whiter when it is on a black background. The color white does not change, it is as white as it ever will be. But when put up to a black background, it appears that much whiter. 

My glory is as great now as it was in the beginning but in the face of the circumstances of today, it appears that much more glorious. I never revel in the tragedy but I will always use it for your good and for the glory of the Kingdom. 

I will see you rise above the circumstances. I will place you above the challenge and the fear and I will see you victorious. You will shine my glory in this world and in this circumstance. 

I love you my daughter, now and forever.

Opportunity...

 

My prayer:

What a fantastic weekend God. Thank you for the peace, the new experiences, and most of all, the chance to minister to a dear friend. Seeing you get the glory and all that you are doing in her life was pure joy. It has been a while since I have had an opportunity to minister like that and it was truly wonderful. 

Now, I am headed back into the work week and will need your help with whatever challenges that brings. But for now, for tonight, I just want to hear what you have to say.

What God Said Tonight:

Never has there been such a time of opportunity as this. A lot is happening and it can be overwhelming but if you keep your eyes and your spirit open to my leading and my voice, I will bring you into those situations and experiences where you can truly have an impact. An impact for the glory of the Kingdom of God. That is where that experience of joy and fulfillment really comes on strong. 

My Kingdom has come and is gathering my people. 

I love you my sweet child. You are mine and I am yours forever more.

Peace and Joy...

 

My prayer:

A truly wonderful day Lord, thank you! I wonder sometimes at the joy that you give me. In the middle of a world gone crazy, you give me joy and peace. It seems impossible when I think about it but it has been true so often. Thank you for that amazing gift. I pray, above everything else, that your will is done. I love you Lord.

What God Said Tonight:

There is nothing to worry about when your future is with me. I have given you eternal life with me. I have promised to always take care of you. I am your peace. My presence in you gives you that peace. 

The joy, that's just blessing. I love my children and I love to see you blessed. 

We have more to see and do tomorrow but it will be with the peace that I am in charge and will guide your steps. It will be with the blessing of joy scattered throughout. 

I am yours, now and forever my child.

The whole purpose...

 

My prayer:

Sweet Father. Thank you for all of the revelation lately. You are opening my eyes and my soul to deeper levels of truth and it is amazing. I pray that you continue to lift veils and fill me with understanding. Everything is better with you and with your direction and will in charge. I love you Lord.

What God Said Tonight:

I have come to set things right. I have come to fulfill all that has been prophesied. I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. Through me, you have salvation. 

You know these words and you know my purpose in saying them. It is the door, the introduction. It is how people come to know me and come to begin life with me. There are more words that come later, more teaching, and more understanding. But sometimes, it is the basics that matter the most. 

I love you. You are put on earth to live your life for me. I am in you and I experience all that you experience. I live in you and through you and together we see great victories and joy. I will never leave you because living in you was the purpose from the beginning. I made man that I could abide in him and he in me. It is the whole purpose. 

I love you and I love your life. Let's go live more of it. 

Who am I...

 

My prayer:

Amazing Father. I have struggled today, and a lot of this week. I feel like I let you down. I have questioned who I am and what I am good at. But then at other times this week, I realize I am just being overemotional and over critical. During those times, I shake it all off and experience that joy that only comes from you. 

So, what is real? Do I have an issue going on with my identity? Have I forgotten who I am in you? Have I forgotten who you are? Or, am I just being hormonal and overemotional? 

Awesome Father and teacher, if there is something I need to learn or change, please show it to me, crystal clear. I will do it, or I will try to do it and keep trying. If this is all in my head, I pray for peace that passes understanding and the joy of the Lord to be my strength. I love you Lord, now and forever.

What God Said Tonight:

Who you are is my daughter. Who you are is perfect in my eyes. I made you, I have seen you grow and I have celebrated that growth in you. 

Today is not a day to start something new. Today is not the day for you to strike out on your own to find a new path or a new goal. 

I am with you in this and in everything and I will guide you and lead you. I have much to teach you but this is not about a lesson. This is something different.

Waiting for tomorrow...

 

My prayer:

Amazing Father. What an amazing week you gave me. I expected the worst and you gave me favor, joy, health, and love. Living life with you is incredible.

While you were working everything in my life out for my good, there was a lot of bad, truly horrible things happening in the world. It is hard to imagine things getting much worse in the world but you have already told us that they will. You have also told us how it all works out and that we have a place with you in eternity. That is the only way I can live here and not lose my mind. Keeping focused on you and the future I have with you, that keeps me sane and let's me enjoy the amazing things you bring to my life. 

Thank you for choosing me, thank you for dying for me, and thank you for loving me.

What God Said Tonight:

Waiting for tomorrow is only possible when you have the assurance of me today. 

I am your God and I will see you perfected in the blood and sacrifice of my Son. I have planned an eternity and you are in it. Remember to look to me in every battle and struggle and celebration. I am with you always. 

And, breathe. Everything will happen in its own time, including my return to earth. I will not delay one moment longer than I have to.
