My child, I am a God of peace. I bring My peace to your soul. Even though in this world you experience trials and tribulation, My peace is available and ready to calm your heart. Receive My peace. Live in it. This takes faith and courage and will become your way of life if you allow it. Only you can decide to accept it or reject it. My offer is always there. When you keep your eyes on Me and believe Me, you will have no trouble in experiencing My peace. Take your eyes off of Me and put them on the circumstances, then fear and anxiety will rule your heart. You choose. My peace or the world’s anxiety. It’s up to you.

Housecleaning
It’s time to do some housecleaning. I’m talking about internal housecleaning. Rid yourself of all the junk you carry around. Get rid of past regrets and failures. Don’t hang on to bitterness or unforgiveness. Place all distractions and discouragements at the foot of My cross. Be done with worldly pleasures. I am calling a pure and spotless bride. I desire all of you. Give Me your whole heart. Don’t hold anything back from Me. Do you not know I hold the world in My hands? Do you not know your future is secure in Me? Then die to every selfish desire. Be done with every vain thing. Rise up and take your place in Me. You are My bride. My pure and spotless bride. You are washed clean by the blood of My cross.
Stand And Resist
My child, you are anxious about so many things. Only one thing is necessary. Time spent at My feet, and total surrender and devotion to Me. Seek Me with all of your heart. Come, let go of everything, every thought, every concern. I am your all and all. I am your everything. I am all you need. Walk in My presence today My love. Take those thoughts captive. Don’t let distraction be your guide today. I will come in like a flood. I will have victory over this battle in your mind. Stand, resist and take authority over the one who would love to take you captive. You are free in Me. Live in that freedom today. Your Father who paid the price for your freedom.
I will lead you
My child, listen carefully and heed My words. Do not go the way of the world or take the path of the fool. You are destined for a higher calling. Your path has been planned out by Me. Before the foundation of the world, I set up your destiny and calling. Walk in My way for you. Do not choose your own. Do not be distracted or detoured. Keep your eyes focused on Me. I am the Way, the Truth and the LIfe. Stay focused. I will keep you from stumbling. I will make your way clear. Your destiny awaits My child. Take My hand, I will lead you up the mountains and through the valleys. Let Me lead you to the place I have for you.
Our Warrior King
Oh My Child, greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. You are more than a conqueror. You are an overcomer. You can do all things through Christ who gives you strength. So do not fear and do not back down. I am with you. I am your Warrior King. I am your mighty fortress. If I am for you who can stand against you? Lead not a life of fear, but of faith. Faith in Me, your God and Creator of this universe. I will accomplish what I set out to do. Your job is to obey Me and walk in a manner worthy of your calling with which you have been called. My word is sharper than any two-edged sword. Believe it and stand firm in it. This is your destiny,
Majesty
Do not the heavens declare My majesty? The stars in the sky, the sun and moon all speak of My wonder. The seasons and mountains, the seas and all they contain. The roar of thunder all tell of My power. Learn to listen with spiritual ears. Learn to see with My eyes into the supernatural. My wonders are incomparable. Oh, I long to show you My glory. I long to share My wonders with you. As a father desires to share the world with his children, I long to share My world with you. As a bridegroom longs for his bride, so I long for you. Come My bride. Come to Me and I will show you My glory.
Duped by Satan into Earning Our Way
It’s sad that so many have been duped by Satan into believing that we must now earn our own way now that we’ve been saved. Think back to your desperately sinful condition when God reached down and pulled you out of that pit. God’s grace was overwhelming, wasn’t it! So how could you think that He might now abandon you just because you continue to struggle with sin in your life?
Good news! God has resolved the issue of your sin—past, present and future. It’s a done deal! Freedom from sin is God’s way of guarantying enduring intimacy with Him. Yet this doesn’t mean that the struggle between the appetites of the flesh and God’s requirements are not going to be a battle for us. This on-going conflict is precisely why the assurance of being freed from sin is so important as we go about living our new life in Christ.

This is Holiness
Do you not understand? Have I not made it clear to you? It’s Christ in you, the hope of glory. As you move out of the way, I come and fill you. Less of you and more of Me. This is holiness. Me filling you to overflowing. You cannot accomplish this on your own. It’s impossible. Only with Me are all things possible. So move completely and totally out of the way so I may come and fill every bit of you with My Spirit. I desire to work through you to reach the lost and hurting world, but I can’t do this if you are still hanging on to your own will. Turn your will over to Me. My plans are so much greater than you could ever imagine.
It’s not About What We Do or Don’t Do
“If I have truly died to sin, why do I still feel so alive to it?” This really is mysterious! Don’t think you’re alone here. It’s not an uncommon question by any stretch of the imagination. “Just what did happen to me when I became that new creature in Christ? What’s this life all about?” The answer lies in the fact that it’s not about what we do or don’t do. Rather, it’s about who Jesus Christ is and what He has done.
No, this doesn’t relieve us of all personal responsibility. Of course not! It does mean, though, that the foundation for our relationship with God has been laid by Him alone, not by anything we can do in and of ourselves. “Oh, I believe that,” you might say—but do you really? Do you really believe that your relationship with God isn’t somehow rooted in trying to be good?

Gifts are meant to be shared
My child, whatever is good and true and uplifting, share that with others. When you come across something that encourages you, pass it along. Gifts are meant to be shared. Make sure your gift is not left unopened or not shared. Open your gift. Enjoy it and pass it along. In this you are accomplishing your calling. Never hoard your gifts. In so doing you lose them. The more you share, the more I will pour out to you. Be willing to give away everything I give you. Make room for more. There is abundance when you willingly share with others. 2 Corinthians 9:6-15
