My Word Is Alive

My Word will not return void. My Word will be accomplished on earth as it is in heaven. You can stake your life on it. Know that what I say I will do. My Word is alive and active and when you proclaim it there is power. Power to break down barriers. Power to set the captives free. Power to move mountains. I have given you My Word so you can walk in My ways and carry out what I have purposed for you. Read it. Know it. Believe it. For I am the Living Word and I came to draw all men to myself.

Hold On To Me

I saw a young father holding his young son walking along the shoreline. The son was facing his dad and had his hand wrapped around his father’s arm. It was a beautiful picture of the child being content and secure in the arms of his father. I heard God speak to me saying, “this is how I want you to be. I want to take care of you. I am holding you. You just need to hold on to Me. You are secure in My arms.”

Sin No Longer a Problem?

As Christians, wouldn’t it be wonderful if sin was no longer a problem? If sin wasn’t an issue, wouldn’t it be a lot easier to wholeheartedly live for Jesus? Great thought!—just not within the realm of reality. Still, what could possibly be wrong with wanting complete freedom from sin’s influence so that single-minded devotion to God might be a bit less stressful?
Well, we need to think about what letting us slide through life in the comfort and security of sinlessness would ultimately achieve. It’s only possible outcome would be a good life here, with the added hope of even a better eternal life in heaven. What’s wrong with that, you might ask? The trouble with this notion is that, while nice, it doesn’t line up with God’s plan. He has a much greater purpose for our lives, because our destiny with Him in heaven is so much more than just a wonderful place to spend eternity.

From Free from the Power of Sin: the Keys to Growing in God in Spite of Yourself

I Am With You

I the Lord am with you wherever you go. I am here. I give you strength when you are tired. I give you joy in the midst of pain. I lead you in the way you should go. I give you favor, blessing and honor. Walk in a manner worthy of your calling. Walk in confidence in Me. Let kindness and love flow through you and believe all things are possible with Me.

Shine Bright For Me

There is a veil over people’s hearts. Like a fog or mist covering them. When My light comes, it breaks through the darkness and brings them into the light. Come and be light to the lost. Bring My truth to the hurting world. People are longing for answers. They desire hope. But without My light they can’t see it. Shine bright for Me. Allow Me to break through that cloud that is blocking them from seeing the truth. I am what they need I am the answer to their hopelessness. I can answer every one of their questions. I am truth and light. I set people free and release them from the domain of darkness, transferring them into the kingdom of My beloved Son. Lead people to Me. Introduce them to Me and I will do the rest.

My Delight Is In You

My child, I rejoice over you, My delight is in you. I have adorned you with My jewels of righteousness. O rejoice My child. Rejoice and lift your eyes up to the heavens. Behold your God who adores you, who brings you into His Kingdom and clothes you with the garment of salvation. You My love are My bride, My chosen one. You are royalty and you reign n the midst of your enemies. Take comfort in the fact that you are safe and secure in the shelter of My wings and you will overcome. Glory in the fact that I purchased you with My blood and when the enemy sees you, he sees My protective hand on you. Take courage My bride. Look to Me. I am your Bridegroom. I am your covering. I Am and there is no other besides Me.

Abundantly Beyond

My child, I am able to do far more abundantly beyond all that you ask or think. Do not try to place limits on Me. In your own strength you can’t. But in Me all things are possible. Believe Me for the impossible.

The Small Things

Let My love shine through you in the small things. In a smile, a word of encouragement, an act of kindness. Give of yourself, not to be noticed by men or applauded, but in the everyday, moment by moment opportunities to serve.

Feelings about Yourself

How do you feel about yourself? Are you happy with who you are? Or do you sense the need for change in your heart? Most of us do. It’s frustrating, though, when change doesn’t come quickly. It causes us to lose hope that it ever will.
It’s different with God. He has a purpose in allowing painful circumstances. That’s because He needs to deal with the weakness of our flesh. He must go deep within our nature to rebuild our character—a true change of heart. And this is a process He can accomplish by no other means than time and suffering.
God’s purpose for creating us as He has sheds a lot of light on why He allows sin to be a problem. Understanding our freedom from the power of sin is so important! Why? Because through it God offers us unfettered relationship with Himself—in spite of ourselves—the true source of transformation.
