My child, I give your life meaning. I place dreams and desires in you and help you carry them out. I want to live through you so you don’t drown in the hopelessness and despair of this world. I give you what you need to live a life of purpose and significance. Living above the level of mediocrity takes full surrender to Me. Are you willing to give over everything so I can bring you into your calling? Are you willing to trade a meaningless life for a life of destiny and purpose? Let me have full reign in your life. What do you have to lose?
Just Believe
My child, Continue to delight yourself in Me and I will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to Me and trust in Me and I will do it. You’re not alone in what I’ve called you to do. I am with you every step of the way. Keep your eyes focused on Me and you will see My plan unfold. Don’t doubt, don’t give up, just believe.
Psalm 37: 4-5
My Protective Arms
My child, It’s okay to get angry, as long as you direct your anger toward the evil one. He is at the root of these issues. When your loved ones turn their lives over to Me, then they will be delivered from the evil they currently choose to walk in. But as long as they choose the life of sin, they will not experience My peace. They are miserable without Me. Pray and believe that they open their hearts door to Me. Then I will close off the evil and hide them under My protective arms.
Rock and Strong Tower
My child, I give you peace that surpasses all understanding. I am your Rock and Strong Tower. Nothing is impossible with Me. You are My beloved and I am yours. Learn to rely solely on Me.
Philippians 4:7 Luke 1:37
Be Willing
My child, so much is at stake. So many lives, hearts and souls are languishing in a state of despair. So many broken hearted people, disillusioned and depressed. Look around and see those who I am calling out to, whose hearts door I am knocking on. Lend a helping hand. Give a smile or hug. Reach out to someone today and extend My love to a lost soul. You don’t have to go farther than your own town or city to find needy and hurting people. Be willing to step out of your comfort zone and give My love away today.
Let Go – Pray – Believe
My child, let of of those you love and trust Me with them. Only I can save. Only I can heal. Only I can deliver. The only thing you can do and should do is pray. My grace is sufficient for you. Never under estimate My Power. Let go – Pray – Believe.
2 Corinthians 12:9
Stategies Against Sin
Sin doesn’t stem primarily from our physical body; it’s a heart problem rooted within the soul. We know that our soul cannot change until it is influenced by a healthy spirit. And nothing happens until our spirit is first empowered by the life of God. But when it is, the soul, mind and body are pushed automatically toward their purpose. Ultimately this is the answer to the dilemma of the sinful weakness of the flesh.
This, of course, doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t consciously try to curb sin in our flesh by saying no to it. It would be pretty foolish to let sin run rampant in our body while waiting for change to happen within our heart. Rather, these strategies are designed to work hand in hand with each other. Only when we renounce sin in our flesh and then couple it with the pursuit of healing and change in our heart do we stand a chance of experiencing transformation in our behavior.
Put God in charge–and then cooperate with Him. He has a plan!

The Way I Designed You
My child, I have designed you for fellowship with Me. I created you with a void in your heart that only I can fill. You can’t do this life on your own. You weren’t meant to. Let Me fill that void and live My life through you. I’m looking for wholly devoted and fully surrendered people. Will you be one of those today?
Past – Present – Future
My child, give Me your past. Let Me wash all your regrets with the cleansing work of My blood. Don’t take your past regrets into your future. Give them all to Me and stand refreshed in the shadow of My Cross. Give Me your present. Live every day fully surrendered and wholly devoted to Me. Make every day a day that you are fully engaged and not wasted. Live today like there is no tomorrow. This life is meant to be lived fully and to the maximum. Rest in My peace today. Experience My joy today. Give today everything you’ve got and let Me take care of your future. Don’t worry or fret about what your life will be like. Plan, yes, but give over every plan, dream and desire to Me. For I know the plans I have for you. Plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
Jeremiah 29:11
Chose to Love
My child, love is a sacrifice and love is hard. It takes courage to choose to love when everything in your flesh is fighting the urge to throw up the walls and protect your fragile heart. I have given you My love. I sacrificed My life so that you could live a life of love. Don’t wall off your heart. Remain open to Me and choose to love.
