God's love...

My prayer:

What a great day God. Thank you for the cool new thing you brought to me today. Thank you for the reminder and expression of your love. I can't wait for everyone to see The Shack movie! That was the best representation of you and your love in a movie that I have ever seen. Thank you!

What God Said Tonight:

I will use the tools of this world to get my message out but they are no substitute for your heart, your love, reflecting me to those around you . Your reflection of my love has more power than a million movie releases. 

I am a God of a personal touch. You are my hands and feet. Make sure you are touching those around you with my love. Their lives depend on it. 

A good day...

My prayer:

I am exhausted after a pretty wonderful day filled with friends and perspective but I want to hear your voice before I drop off to sleep. What is on your mind?

What God Said Tonight:

You found a place of love, kindness and generosity today and you stayed in it for most of the day. That is a good day. You found a way to give and receive comfort and love. That is a good day. You saw the opportunities in the day and took them and that was a good day. 

Now, my sweet daughter, rest and have a good night knowing my love rests in you. Well done.

Kindness and goodness...

My prayer:

I am searching out, and thankfully finding, kindness. 

This world has gotten so violent (words, weapons, natural disasters, terrorism). From the smallest unkindness to the greatest tragedy, it rages. And still, when I look, really look, I find great acts of kindness. A kind word, a senseless generosity, a small act of putting others before oneself, these things all exist. These things give me respite from the world.

God, I pray that I can be someone's spot of kindness each day.

What God Said Tonight:

I am a seed planted within each of you. I am in your core. With me in you, goodness must come out of you. 

Fertile ground...

My prayer:

Finding a place of joy no matter the circumstances around me, that is a true and profound blessing God. Thank you for showing me joy in the midst of the storm today. Living life with you, there are always little jewels of joy in the most unexpected places.

What God Said Tonight:

I have found fertile and lush ground to sow my Word into. It is ground that is already producing. My Word will take root in this ground and grow in a way that has not been seen before. 

The ground has proven itself. My Word has proven itself. Together they will be amazing.

No shame...

My prayer:

Praying for peace. Praying for favor. Praying for healing. Praying for us all.

What God Said Tonight:

You come to me, bowed down, covered in your spotted cloak. You approach me with fear and reverence. That would have been necessary before I brought you my son. That approach was needed before you were redeemed. 

Now, in your redeemed and restored state, you can approach me with confidence. You can approach me with your head held high, uncovered and whole. You can approach me as a beloved child or a much loved spouse. 

You can approach me, anytime and anywhere. I am always ready for you. I am always eager to see you. My love for you has overwhelmed everything else. 

I loved you to much to see you covered in shame. Do not put on that cloak of shame again. You do not need it. It is no longer yours. 

I love you.

Recognizing God's love...

My prayer:

Today I saw a glimpse of what your amazing core healing that you have shown me over the last several years, could possibly do for someone else. As much as I have loved the wholeness and freedom that you have brought me to, this is the day I have been waiting for. The day when I think I am going to be able to see you heal someone I love so deeply at their very core. 

God, I want your core healing for everyone. Can you imagine what a world this would be if we were all healed and whole? If no one in the world felt the need to protect themselves by hurting someone else? If everyone saw themselves as you see them, beautiful, restored and whole? My mind nearly explodes with the mere concept of it. It would be so amazing! 

Maybe that is what the new heaven and the new earth is all about? If we are all whole, redeemed and healed...WOW! Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

There is a rhythm and a timing to my will. I am not rushed. I know the timing of every last thing in this world. I am not frantic. I know when and where each thing needs to happen. I am not worried. My plan has not changed. 

I am excited. I am expectant. I am on the edge of my seat waiting for the next season. 

The glory, my glory is coming and will be seen around the world. My presence will fall heavily on this world. Those who know me will experience my presence as the intense love that I have for them. Those who don't know me will feel very uncomfortable. It will still be my love but they will not know it, they will think they do not deserve it they may even try to run from it. 

Tell people about my love. Help them. Even if they don't receive it now, maybe your description will help them recognize it when I come. There will be those who come to me in those days. They will be the ones who can recognize me through what they have been told, even if they can't recognize me for themselves. 

I love you!

Water in the river...

My prayer:

I see you working things together God. I see you arranging things that I could not have imagined. 

I LOVE WHEN YOU DO THAT!!! 

It is so amazing and humbling to watch you create a plan and execute it so perfectly. I love to watch you work. Thank you for letting me be a part of your plans God!

What God Said Tonight:

My will for you is like water in a river. It flows and ebbs. Sometimes it stays around in a lake for awhile. Those are times of rest and community. Then, when it is time, I move you down the river.

Your life is meant to be lived in motion. Some lives are meant to be lived in stasis. Your life is meant to be lived in motion. 

You next new thing is around the corner and you are going to love it.

Neighbors...

My prayer:

I really have nothing to say tonight God but I want to hear your sweet voice before I go to sleep. Speak to me Lord?

What God Said Tonight:

Your neighbors across the way are very interested in you. They watch to see what you are doing and where you are going. Your neighbors are watching. 

You may be the only child of mine they see. Make sure that thy see me in you. If all they see is the person, why would they ever want to know me. If all they see is you with the same struggles as they have. 

The benefits of my son-ship are vast but if people do not see those benefits reflected in you, they will never find me. 

I love you. We will talk more later.

Broken glass...

My prayer: 

I feel a change coming God and I am SO READY!! Thank you for change. Thank you for the encouragement throughout this day. Thank you for being mine. I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

Broken glass can be seen in several different ways. It can be seen as trash. It can be seen as dangerous. It can be seen as art. It is all the same glass but depending on who is looking at it and their intention, it can take on very different meanings. 

Life is like that too. The circumstances in your life can be seen as trash that you need to throw away as soon as possible. They can be seen as dangerous. Or, they can be seen as the art of your life., The things that make your life beautiful. 

What makes the difference is not so much the circumstances but how you choose to see them and what you do with them. Living a life filled with art is a lot more fun than living a life of scary trash. 

I love you.

Faith...

My prayer:

Today was definitely different than I thought it was going to be! I am still not sure if it was a good day or a bad day. Thank you for being with me and turning a really rotten situation into a less rotten situation. I am still holding out for you turning it fully to my good but today was a nice start. 

I pray for my friend and for his complete healing. This latest report regarding the brain lesion needs to be reversed, removed and rebuked. God I pray your complete healing in him. I leave him firmly in your hands trusting you to take care of him (and me).

What God Said Tonight:

Faith is an interesting and misunderstood thing. Faith is more than belief and it is less than reality. Faith is the assurance of things hoped for. It is not the promise. It is not the evidence. It is the assurance. 

Faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God. Why? It should be pretty obvious. The more you are told of a thing, the more you are assured of that thing. Be it healing power, financial provision, whatever. 

Your faith has made you well is something that I said a lot on earth. How can the assurance of a thing make it become reality? It is your acting upon that faith, that assurance. Once you act upon it, believing it, your faith makes the difference. Someone can be healed of an infirmity that has kept them in a wheel chair for years but until he gets up out of the wheelchair, the miracle is present but evident. 

Faith and acting on that faith makes the miracle evident. Put your faith in me.

You are about to see...

My prayer:

I am going to need a lot of direction, favor, peace and grace tomorrow God. It is going to have to come from you because I am pretty sure the circumstances won't be providing any of it. But, maybe that is just negative thinking. Maybe something wonderful will happen? 

That is the beauty of life, we never really know what is going to happen next. All I do know is with you on my side, it will literally, all work out. 

THANK YOU JESUS!

What God Said Tonight:

You are about to see what all of the rest time is for. You are about to see new avenues and opportunities. You are about to see a future that you had not yet imagined. 

Get excited! Your world is about to change and it is good!!!

The big dream...

My prayer:

I have slept more in the last two days than I have in the last month! I guess I needed to catch up. Thank you for the time and ability to rest God. I am not sure what comes next but I am guessing being well rested for it will help. 

Thank you for the adventure of life. Thank you for new challenges, new opportunities and new paths to follow. 

You are amazing!

What God Said Tonight:

Do you remember the dream I gave you, the big one? There were many things in that dream that you could not understand at the time. You are about to see that dream manifest in your life. 

You do have choices. You can watch it or be in it. You can lead it or you can follow. I have a plan but there are many ways that it can be carried out. You choose. 

You will see, in this case, it will be so wondrous that your role, big or small will get lost in the wonderment of what I will do. No one will steal my glory but all will be included in it. 

I love you and your next season is here.

Silent warrior...

My prayer:

An entire day of joy, peace and no tragedies, what a great change! Thank you for today God. The break from the drama was a real relief. I am ready to rest in your presence and eager to hear your voice.

What God Said Tonight:

There is movement and purpose all around you but much of it occurs outside of your awareness. 

I can see the purpose and power that is at work in your life. I can see the attacks and the attempt to disrupt your purpose. Because I see them, I can block them. Because i see them I can mobilize the warriors in your defense. 

How can you hope to fight an enemy you can't see? I am here for your defense of the seen and the unseen. I am your silent warrior who will always fight for you. 

I love, now and forever.

No weapon...

My prayer:

Thank you for your soft words of encouragement this morning. I would not have gotten through the day without them. With them, I not only got through the day, I actually really enjoyed big sections of it. 

Knowing that you hear me and that you will make a way for me makes all of the difference. I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

NO weapon formed against you shall prosper. How many times have you heard that promise. How many times have you truly believed. 

Now is the time. 

You will see daily affirmation of my love and my vows to you. I love you more than life  and I will see you home,

One day closer...

My prayer:

I did not like this day God. I don't really want to talk about it but I need your help and healing. I need your guidance and direction. 

Every instinct I have is telling me to run. It is telling me to get out, away and don't look back. What do you want me to do? Where do you want me to be? 

Is this all for a purpose and if so, can you let me in on it? It would help if it made some sense as to why it was happening like this, I think. 

I need your help God. I need your voice.

What God Said Tonight: 

The quiet you hear is not the sound of indifference. It is the sound of agreement. I have so many plans for you and every day is one day closer,

Weirder...

My prayer:

Today was pretty weird! A series of weird and unpredictable events. Thank you for your protection through it all. Here at the end of the day, I am left shaking my head and trying to make some sense of it all. It might be a waste of time though. Some things just don't make sense. 

I hope you had a better day than I did!

I ask for your peace and comfort to cover me tonight God.

What God Said Tonight:

Hang on. It gets weirder before it gets better but you are not alone. 

Match made in heaven...

My prayer:

SO much to get done and not enough time in the natural God. But, I know, with you, it is possible. You show me time and again that if I follow your lead, I will get it all done and it will all work out. I just need to remind my self of that sometimes. 

Thanks for being my everything. You are truly everything I need.

What God Said Tonight:

I see you and I see your need. I do not let you falter. I do not let you fail. 

I will be your strength and your supernatural help. 

Never forget we are in this together. A win for you is a win for me and vice versa. You are the priest I created you to be. I am the God you need me to be. 

We are a match made in heaven, literally. I love you.

Confusing...

My prayer:

I never want to lose sight of the privileged and honor that I have in being yours God. It is almost unthinkable that the creator of the universe loves me, takes care of me, teaches me, talks to me. It sounds silly to my own ears. But, here we are and who you are to me and all you do for me is undeniable. 

Awesome Father. Thank you for choosing me. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for redeeming and saving me.

Everything I am and all that I have is yours. I was singing that song tonight about giving you my heart when I realized, with all of the healing you have done on my heart, it has more of you in it than me at this point. My heart truly is yours, in every way. 

I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

Sometimes life is like looking at he negative exposure of a picture. Everything that is supposed to be light looks dark and everything that is supposed to be dark looks light. The world can confuse you. It can make you think right is wrong and wrong is right. 

There is one true litmus test for all things. It is my word. You know it. I have written it on your heart. Remember always to seek out the answers in it. Remember to judge every message and every revelation you have against my word. Look for the truth in the things that match. 

The days to come are going to be more and more confusing. The lines between blessings and cursings will get more and more blurred. The lines between those who are for me and those against me are going to be harder to see. Not everyone who says they are for me are known to me and not everyone who says they are against me is truly against me. There are false surrogates of me that make it all even more confusing. 

In the midst of the confusion, keep your arms wrapped around me and your thoughts fully planted in me. You will need that anchor. 

I love you and I will not lose you.

We need each other...

My prayer:

What a crazy world God. 

Praying that your will be present in every aspect of every event in this world as it is in heaven. Praying that we find our identity in you and who you made us to be. Praying that we find a way to receive every amazing gift you have given to us. 

Thank you for boldness, guidance, peace, joy, love and health God. I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

A man is not more or less than the seed that began in him from the dawn of time. A man is the clay that I brought together and breathed life into. He is made of earth and  supernatural life. One without the other is not worth very much. 

The substance of earth, of matter, without the presence and spirit of God breathing life into it is nothing more than dirt. The presence of God with no substance to live in is power without purpose. We need each other. 

You are my creation and I made you for a reason. I am your God and I am the power and the purpose inside of you. Together we will yet see even greater things together. 

Never lose sight of the importance of the partnership.

God's anointing...

My prayer:

I am grateful for your protection today God. There were a lot of close calls and you kept me and my home safe. You are very good to me. Thank you!

What God Said Tonight:

There is an anointing over you and your path that covers all that you are and all that you do. My anointing keeps you moving through the things that wills stop others. 

My anointing makes you powerful when you should be weak. It makes you full when you should be empty. My anointing is all that you need. With it you are fulfilled. Without it, you feel constant lack that has to be filled. 

My anointing is not given lightly but once given, it is yours forever. 

I love you and I will always find a way out for you. I will keep your feet firmly planted on my ground. I love you.

Victory over pain...

My prayer:

Thank you for healing the new hurt tonight God. I was injured today. It really hurt inside and out. I called out to you and you took the pain. You showed me a different view. Suddenly, it didn't hurt anymore. 

I can remember the pain. The pain was real. But now, it is gone. It is a memory but it is not in me. That is a miracle God. 

THANK YOU! Without your healing this hurt would have easily turned into deep bitterness. You are amazing and I am so grateful for you!

What God Said Tonight:

I have a truly divine timing in your life. Have you noticed? I have a pattern to your life. You can stop worrying about when to do things. When to take care of things. I have perfect timing in your life and will lead you and guide you in all things. 

I timed your healing. I knew this was coming today. I knew that you would need layers of healing to weather this storm. 

I can't keep painful things from happening to you on this earth. I can't keep other's free will from them and sometimes their decisions will cause you pain. But I can heal you. I can prepare you by making you whole. I can strengthen you so blows glance off  of you and they don't stick. They may bruise but hey do not break. 

Come and let's celebrate your victory over pain tonight. 

Serpent crushed...

My prayer:

I have never felt more comfortable in my own skin as I do right now God. Thank you for your healing and restoration in my life. 

I am sure there are new battles and challenges ahead. I am sure that I need more healing. But, right now, I am whole and I am content here with you. 

Thank you for giving me this blessing.

What God Said Tonight:

The serpent is crushed under your heel. He tried to sneak in and wanted to see you dead but, he has been stopped. He is under your foot and he cannot move in your life. I have given you the power of my resurrection to hold him. 

Glory in the victory and don't move your foot. Stand your ground. I love you.

God love...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I have nothing to say tonight but I have an empty ear to hear with...

What God Said Tonight:

I have held you in the palm of my hand since the beginning of time. I have fawned over you. 

There are those who are tired of hearing about how much I love you. I have bored them with tales of our love. I haven't tired of you though. I will never tire of you. I made you for me. I made you. 

The pressure is off...

My prayer:

Every once in awhile, I get a glimpse of how you are using my life to help someone else and it is humbling and wonderful all at the same time. 

I hope I listened well enough, the her and to you. I hope I said enough, or the right things. I hope I was the light that you intended me to be. 

Thank you for giving me an opportunity to bring your love into someone else's life. It is my favorite thing to do.

What God Said Tonight:

Stand still and know that I am God. As the world races by, stand in my presence and know that I will take care of you. Not just your needs but also your opportunities. I will guide you and help you to be all that I called you to be. 

The pressure is off. I am in you and I will guide you into every right place, every right moment, every right relationship. I am the miracle in your life that assures that you always win in the end. 

My child, my prince, my servant priest. I love you You are mine.

Simple night time instruction...

My prayer:

A night of privilege God. Thank you. I feel blessed and honored by where you have planted me and who you have planted me with. 

Sometimes, I lose sight of the honor. Sometimes I can spend too much time looking at what others have and the position they are in. Those comparisons almost never end well. 

But tonight, no comparisons. Just thankful gratitude that I get to be who you made me to be doing what you made me to do. I love you!

What God Said Tonight:

It is late. 

You are covered. 

You are mine. 

I love you more than life. 

Go to bed.

In the midst of chaos...

My prayer:

My thoughts and prayers tonight are not here with you and me but with so many others that need your help tonight. People in this freezing cold with no roof to keep them warm. People who are grieving over someone taken from this life too soon. People who are petrified of all that is happening in the world. People who are sick, hurt, broken, who need your healing power. 

Sometimes I am overwhelmed by the needs God but I know you are not. I place them all firmly in your hands where they can find help. 

Thank you for being big enough, powerful enough, wise enough, compassionate enough. Thank you for being enough God.

What God Said Tonight:

I am here. I have not and will not abandon you or the world. The end times, the time when this world is passing away and making room for the new world and the new heaven, was never meant to be a time of peaceful calm. That type of radical change requires upheaval. 

I can promise you that your steps are ordered and as long as you stay focused on me, you will find great joy even in the midst of the chaos. I promise that if you stay focused on me I will make you a catalyst for peace and for love in the midst of the chaos. 

I love you and I am here for the long haul. The end is in sight.

God's options...

My prayer:

So grateful for the healing change you have made in me God. Your healing power never ceases to amaze me. You heal us physically, emotionally, spiritually.  In a world that seems hell bent on making us ill and hurt I have a God who is heaven bent on seeing us whole and healed. 

THANK YOU JESUS FOR HEALING US!!!!!!

What God Said Tonight:

The difference between living life as my child and living life on your own is not about the things that happen to you. It is about the options of responses you have to those things. 

When you are my child and you get sick, you can call on my healing power and have assurance that you will be healed. When you are hurt you can come to me for comfort and healing. When you are not living as my child, your reactions are limited to those you can do on your own.

The web...

My prayer:

Ok, so I wrote an entire post, you had some really cool stuff to say about miracles. Then I go to publish it and your whole part is deleted...Seems like maybe that one was not meant to go public?

Well, let's see what happens when we try again...

What God Said Tonight:

 

One thing to always keep in mind is that this current experience of yours is bigger than what you realize. Each situation occurring in the world right now is actually a small piece of a much bigger web. 

This is a unique time in the history of the world and of my people. There is truly nothing that is insignificant and everything has intertwined meanings. 

I don't expect you to understand it all but I do expect you to trust me. I will tell you when it is time to act. I will tell you when it is time to move. If your ears are trained on my voice, you need not worry about a thing. 

I will guide you always. I will love you always.

Take out the trash...

My prayer:

Ok, today was a pretty rough transition back to 'normal life'. I am exhausted and just about everything on me hurts. I do not like 'normal' God. 

I pray for your supernatural intervention in me. Renew my mind, my body and my spirit. I pray for wisdom God. If there is some cause of this that I can do something about, please let me know so I can change whatever needs to be changed. 

Please help Jesus. I don't know if this is harder to deal with just because last week was so wonderful or if it is hard to deal with because it is that bad. Regardless, I need you help and healing power. 

Thank you Jesus!

What God Said Tonight:

It is 'take out the trash' day. There are some things that you have discarded but you have not fully let go of. Take it to the curb and let me take it away. Once and for all it is time to let go. 

You are who I made you to be. You are a child of God. You are not someone who has to live damaged any more. You are renewed and restored in my name. You are strong and whole through my grace. Jump up with me. 

You are going to a new level. It is one that you couldn't reach with the heaviness of the old hurt. Now that you have let it go, you can soar with me. 

I love you.

Dream big...

My prayer:

Content, excited, tired, happy, not a bad mix. I know I keep saying it, but thank you God. I really needed this week. I hope and pray I can keep this renewed joy for awhile, or maybe forever. 

What God Said Tonight:

I have more blessings for you than you can receive. I have more joy than you can contain. I love you more than you can know. 

You see, as big as you can dream, I dream bigger for you. 

I love you. I am with you. I will bless you, all the days of your life.

In the midst of God's joy...

My prayer:

I have nothing to ask for tonight and everything to be thankful for. You are amazing and I am grateful!

What God Said Tonight:

The joy of me is your strength. When you can tap into my joy, when you let it inside of you, it makes you strong. It makes you invincible. Let my joy strengthen you, fill you, and light you up. You are made to live in the midst of my joy. 

I love you child.

The good and the bad...

My prayer:

I am so very grateful tonight God. Thank you for the change of scene, location with new things to do! It is great to have a new perspective for a minute. You pour out your blessings on me. THANK YOU!

What God Said Tonight:

At any given moment, there is joy, pain, peace, strife, blessing, cursing, rain and sun somewhere in the world and somewhere in your life. The choice that is yours, the thing that is in your control, is which you will focus on. 

I will guide and direct you to all the things you need to do. I will take care of the rest. 

In the meantime, choose your focus wisely. If you want to experience the good, focus on the good. If you want to experience the bad, focus on the bad. I promise you, in every bad situation there is some good and in every good situation there is some bad. It is simply how this flawed world is. 

It won't always be that way. There is a time coming where joy and peace will reign. In the new heaven and the earth, it will not be the same. Until then, make your choice.

Don't fight alone...

My prayer:

I trust you God. I trust you to do what you have said you will do. I trust you to guide and direct my life. I trust you to heal us. I trust you to deliver us. I trust you to save us. 

You do not change and every promise you have made will be accomplished.  Thank you!

What God Said Tonight:

I am t;he rock and the cornerstone. I do not burn in the fire. I am made stronger by fire. 

Your trials and your tribulations will not conquer you if you are leaning on me. Don't ever try to tackle them on your own. I did not make you to fight alone I created you to fight as my child, under my protection and my banner. 

Volcano...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I am praying for peace and love and decency tonight. Remind us of who we are in you. Remind us how to love and not hate. Help us to find your peace in chaos. Help us to love each other like you love us. We clearly can't do this on our own. Thank you.

What God Said Tonight:

A boiling, active volcano is not actually dangerous until it erupts. The boiling and churning looks ominous but is not actually dangerous until it overflows. 

Don't be too concerned over the churning. Sometimes things need to churn and heat up to create action. 

I am with you. You do not need to fear. You are safe in me. 

What God wants...

My prayer:

I am grateful to be here with you tonight God. As I reflect on this day, I am left with just an intense gratefulness for you and for you in my life. I can't think of anything else to say. I don't want to bother you with any needs. I don't need any answers (a big shock, I know!). I just need you to know how grateful I am for you. 

I can hear the angels singing hallelujah God! How beautiful. 

What God Said Tonight:

I have jewels, I want you. 

I have gold, I want you. 

I have everything I could want but I only want you, my children. 

Come, live in and with me now and forever. You will not regret it. 

With you...

My prayer:

Thank you for your presence today God. There were plenty of challenges but I felt you with me all day. 

Sometimes I feel you more. I notice your presence more. I know you are always with me and that you never leave me but sometimes, I feel it more. I love when I feel you more. 

Your presence provides such assurance, peace and confidence. You are my everything God. 

What God Said Tonight:

I love when you feel me more too. 

It brings you more into your real self. It let's me talk to you more freely. It let's me guide you more directly. When you are focused on me, paying attention to my presence, you are less likely to be distracted by the enemy and his tricks. You are less likely to go down paths that lead to destruction. You are more likely to see the joy and blessings I have for you. 

I love being with you. I love it even more when you are with me, truly with me. Together forever my love.

God's child...

My prayer:

Today was good God. You gave me new insight. I got to be a blessing at least once. Nothing earth shattering but just good. 

Tonight, I come to a place of peace and expectation, in your presence. I love you and can't wait to hear your voice tonight.

What God Said Tonight:

Once, when you were younger, you came to this place, afraid of me noticing you, 

Now you come to this place with the boldness provided to you as one of my children. There is so much to learn just from that one concept. You are now my child. 

The day of reconciliation...

My prayer:

Trusting you to guide me. Trusting you to lead me. Trusting you to heal me. Trusting you to save me. 

Trusting you to guide all of your children. Trusting you to lead all of your children. Trusting you to heal all of your children. Trusting you to save all of your children.

Trusting you in all things at all times.

What God Said Tonight:

I have yet to show my true power here on earth. I have yet to show my glory to the world. I have more to give and more to do. 

I will take all things together and remake this world into the vision that it was meant to be. I will see a day where I walk freely with my children through the garden. I will see a day where satan is removed into the pit of hell. I will see a day where my children are free of oppression and pain, I will see a day where you and I live with one another in peace, joy and wholeness. 

The day of reconciliation is not far off. It is nearly here and it will be glorious. Stay strong in me. Stay diligent in your waiting. I am coming soon, in all my glory, in all my strength, in all my power to make this world all that it was intended to be. I love you.

Truth...

My prayer:

I spend a lot of time and effort trying to figure out life. I spend even more time and effort trying to figure out you. What do you want? What makes you happy? What makes you angry? How can I best live a life for you? I ache for the answers. 

Sometimes, I believe I have them. Sometimes, life and you make sense. More often, I wonder if I really know anything. 

If I were a different person, it probably wouldn't matter so much. I know a lot of people who don't understand why I get so worked up about things. A lot of people who say, why can't you just relax and see what happens? I don't know specifically why other than it is not how I am made.

I started asking questions as soon as I could talk. And despite the many years of questions, I still have more questions than I do answers.

My point of telling you this tonight? I don't know. Maybe just to explain why I am always asking...something. Maybe to just generally ask that you give me or help me to find answers and truth. 

God, I want to live a life based on truth. I would rather know and live in truth than in the best of fantasies. To do that, I need to know what the truth is. You are the only one who definitively knows the truth. Please continue to share it with me.

What God Said Tonight:

Truth is a light that makes things clear. Lies make things more confusing. Truth leads to more truth and lies lead to more lies. 

Look for those truths that illuminate the facts around them. You can trust in those truths. If the truth makes the facts around them more confusing...it is likely not the truth. 

I have given you discernment. Discernment grows with practice. The more you use it the better it gets. Use your discernment to seek out the truth of things. Look for the light. I know you and I will show you, now and forever.

Joy...

My prayer:

I am not really in a talking mood tonight God but I am in a listening mood. Is there anything you want to say? I am here. I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

I can do all things. I can make the impossible possible. I can make a way when there is not way. I can split a sea and I can make it rain frogs. I can deliver and I can condemn. 

My nature is to love, to heal, to help. 

My response is never panic or fear. There is nothing to fear when you understand my power and that I am fully on your side. Why panic, why worry if you know you have the most high God, the healer, the most powerful, the redeemer, backing you on every move, every struggle. 

With me, all joy is possible. Without me, no true, lasting joy is possible. 

Survived...

My prayer:

I am not sure how to explain the last 48 hours God other than to say THANK YOU! I have experienced such a dramatic shift in the spirit realm and in my emotions. The ridiculous heaviness, depression, darkness has lifted dramatically. Thank you God for rescuing me. Thank you for prayer warriors praying for me. Thank you for relief! 

When I look back to what you told me two nights ago regarding the Monster...it all makes sense now. You are my rescue God!

What God Said Tonight:

I bring to you, peace of mind. The mission is unchanged. The goal is the same. The journey was interrupted. 

You had a chasm open in your path and it tried to swallow you. But, no weapon formed against you can be successful. Others can wield their weapons against you but I will make sure they do not harm you.

You have been attacked and you have survived the attack. Survivors are always stronger than those who were never attacked in the first place. 

Revel and glory in the strength provided to you by your enemy. Be grateful for the opportunity to become strong in me. 

I love you all and we are in this together. Together we will rise and together we will triumph.

The monster...

My prayer:

God, I have more problems than answers tonight. Stupid things are going wrong and I can't fix them. I need your help, I need you. Please bring your help, your joy. I need you.

What God Said Tonight:

This monster that is in your life is not as big as it seems. It is not as permanent as it seems. I have one kick in it and I am about to shove it out of your life. Kick it into oblivion. 

You are being stretched. You are being tested. Lean on me and I will see you through. I will ensure your victory through me. 

You are not alone. You are my child. I love you.

Trust and faith...

My prayer:

Not feeling very strong tonight God. I am not feeling very hopeful. I am just not feeling it. I am grateful that you have taught me that my feelings can't always be trusted. I am grateful that you have shown me that you can do some of the most miraculous things when it looks like nothing is going to work out. 

I pray for my friends who have fallen in a hole that there does not seem any way out of. I pray your miracle working power in their lives. They know you. They love you. They trust you God. I ask that you show up and turn this mess into a miracle that can be shouted from the roof tops. 

Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

Tonight is a night for trust and for faith. You don't have to feel it but you need to believe it. You don't have to go get it but you have to receive it. I have freely given.

Now...

My prayer:

Awesome Father. Thanks for good friends and fun today. It was a good day. 

God, I pray and ask for purpose tomorrow. I pray that I can be a true blessing in someone's life. I pray that you profoundly touch someone through me. I pray that I can be your hands and feet here on earth. Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

I find joy in the truly simple things in life. I find joy in the sun shining off of a drop of dew. I find joy in the first blade of grass in Spring. I find joy in you, my child, when you sincerely want to help. 

Tomorrow is a canvas waiting to be painted and we will paint it together. Tonight is more tangible. Tonight you can choose to be a blessing right where you are. 

Living for tomorrow will never fully satisfy you. Find the opportunity in now and act on it.

Shine a light...

My prayer:

A lot of random thoughts running through my head tonight God but none really worth talking about. Thank you for the rest time today. Thank you for showing me different perspectives. You are my awesome God and I am so glad I don't have to live this life without you! 

What is on your mind tonight?

What God Said Tonight:

I have shone a light on some things to help those who have not found my  salvation yet. I need to give them every chance. I have children who are lost and deceived by this world and I will give them every last chance that I can. 

But, the time is coming and it is not too far away where everyone will have to make a choice and the choice  is for eternity. Make no mistake about it. When that time c comes, I want to be sure everyone understands fully the choice they are making, It is all I can do without violating the free will I have given them. 

All of that to help you to see why so many terrible things are so public right now. I have opened the eyes and the ears of people so they can be prepared to make a choice. It is not that there is more evil or more tragedy. It is that I am shining my light on it so it does not go unnoticed. 

The enemy has been hiding in the shadows long enough. It is time he face his followers in the light of day. 

I love you my child and I will keep you from harm.

Numbness...

My prayer:

More tragedy today God. I don't even know how to process it anymore. Every day, a shooting, an earthquake, a child missing, a family mourning, etc. etc. I know you told us that things would get worse before they got better, but how much worse? 

I find myself getting numb. To care, to really see everything that is happening each day and all of the suffering hurts too much. So instead, I become numb and try to turn my face and my mind away from it. I fill my life with distractions so I don't have to look at it. I am not proud of this behavior but I don't know what else to do. I don't know how to look the tragedy in the face and not be devastated daily. 

God, I put us all in your hands. I pray your deliverance comes soon. I pray for your strength, peace and help until then.

What God Said Tonight:

A world gone numb, a people gone numb. That is the way of sin and evil. When evil becomes normal and pain becomes expected, life loses meaning. 

I created you for more. I created you for joy. I created you for love. 

The evil and tragedies in the world today are a reality. Your primary defense is an activating prayer. Your personal defense is to keep your eyes trained on me. I will show you the blessings in the battle. I will show you the joy in the sadness. I will show you the purpose in the chaos. I will keep you safe in my arms. 

When you turn from the evil, do not turn to numbness. Turn to me. 

I love you.

Power of prayer...

My prayer:

It is freezing God. Actually, it is well below freezing, and there are people who are out in this cold, without heat. They will not make it through the night without help. 

I pray for your help. I pray that you bring them help. Keep them safe and keep them warm God. 

Thank you for blessing me with a home, with heat. On nights like tonight especially, these things feel like luxuries.

What God Said Tonight:

I am your shelter in a storm. I have said that figuratively in the past but it is true literally as well. I will keep you and my children safe. My mercy covers you. My grace surrounds you. My power guides you. 

Tonight and every night I will help you and those you pray for. 

Your prayer is a link between heaven and earth and allows for easy access. I can still move without your prayer. I am sovereign. But, with your prayer, the powers of heaven are activated on behalf of you, my child. Heaven listens when you pray and angels are dispatched. 

Keep praying sweet daughter and see my power on earth as it is in heaven.

The battle...

My prayer:

Amazing and awesome God. A whole day where your favor was evident in my life. It was WONDERFUL! Thank you. It has been a while since I have felt that and it is so amazingly wonderful. 

Thank you for everything you did for me today and thank you for everything you kept me from. There was a lot of tragedy in this day that I easily could have been a part of but your protection and favor covered me. 

I pray for those who experienced the tragedies. Be fully present with them God. Let them feel your comfort and healing power. Help them find the strength and the hope to move forward. 

Thank you!

What God Said Tonight:

I have you covered, head to toe. I have your name written in my book. I have you carved in the palm of my hand. I am yours and you are mine. 

I will never keep you in harms way without a purpose and without protection. I was in the lion's den and in the fire. I am in this with you. Your battle, your fire, is nothing more than an opportunity for people to see me at work in your life. 

Don't be angry at the battle. The battle is really your best friend. It is in the battle and the struggle that I get the greatest opportunity to shine in your life. It is in the battle that I can show my glory. It is your victory that the world gets to see my nature. The battle only turns up the flame in your lantern. 

I love you, now and forever.

Sovereignty...

My prayer:

Today was a day where nothing went according to plan and I just seemed to make everything worse with each thing I tried to do to make it better. But, sitting here with you and putting that in writing, I know it isn't entirely true. I had some setbacks today, but nothing really horrible. Nothing that can't be fixed.

I think the really hard thing about days like today is I feel out of sync with you and I hate that. 

God, I pray for your will to be done in every single aspect of my life. Help me to get back in your flow. I love you and I need to be on the same page with you.

What God Said Tonight:

Just because you got knocked off of your plan today does not mean that you are off of my plan for you. 

Sometimes, I have to throw in a roadblock to get you turned in the right direction. Sometimes, in just living your life, you are headed into a disaster and to protect you, I have to turn you aside into a path you did not think that you wanted. 

Trust my sovereignty in your life. I will turn all things for your good and I will turn you for your good. 

I love you and I am always with you.

What tomorrow holds...

My prayer:

Today was a pretty great start to 2017. I am hoping this is a representation of the beginning of a great year. 

Thank for the joy of today. Thank you for taking care of people I love. Thank you for being you and being in my life.

What God Said Tonight:

Today was more a reflection of your life to date than it was your life to come. I have truly great things for your future. 

Today was good. Tomorrow will be great. 

In each day there will be challenges. In some there will be pain. In all, there will be me.
