My child, have I not told you what is true? Have I not given you My word, My promise, My Son? It is enough! Believe and walk in faith. Stop doubting Me and My timing. My word will not fail. You can trust Me.
Be Faithful
My child, don’t allow yourself to be taken in by the culture. Do not lower the standard I have given you just to fit in or gain approval from men. I will not bless compromise. Make sure you are the one who is influencing and not the the one being influenced. The road ahead is full of temptations. But I have given you everything you need to say no to those temptations and to stay true to Me. Be faithful. Don’t allow your heart to be overtaken by pride, rebellion or greed. I will show you when all of these come against you. You will see them clearly. Choose not to be taken in by their deception. In the end it is ruin. Choose to remain far away from the world’s culture. It’s not cool, it is death.
If I could only be recognized
The desire for recognition is a central to our nature. The alienation that results from a lack of acknowledgement brings about deep emotional hardship. God understands this about us, and He has done something about it. But He goes further than mere recognition. God honors us—He esteems His children.
Jesus made this apparent in His parable about the Wedding Feast: the guests were being honored simply by being invited. Yet nothing would have come of it without their reply: “Yes, I would love to be there!” Can you see why God would be pleased by such a response? At the same time we can appreciate how grieved He is over those who wouldn’t bother to take the time to attend, or worse yet those who neglected to reply at all. The Bible puts it this way: “Those who honor Me I will honor, and those who despise Me will be lightly esteemed.” (1 Samuel 2:30)

Be Still
My child, be still and know that I am God. Rest in My presence and leave all your worries in My capable hands. Do not fret, it only leads to evildoing. I alone have the power to change the things you are anxious about. Trust Me and release everything into My care. Psalm 41:10 Psalm 37:8
I Will
When you listen, I will speak
When you pray, I will answer
When you trust, I will show up
When you believe, I will do miracles
When you fast, I will move mountains
When you forgive, I will bring peace
When you show compassion, I will comfort you
When you step out in faith, I will lead you
When you give My Holy Spirit full reign in your life,
I will strengthen you and provide everything you need in this life.
Keep Believing
Keep believing when times are tough
Don’t give up when there isn’t enough
Trust Me to provide fro all your needs
Then go out in the world and plant some seeds
A word of encouragement, a call to a friend
Is there a relationship that you need to mend?
Pray for the sick, the lost, the needy
And with your money, don’t be greedy
Have faith, love freely, experience My joy
This life is a test, a trial and you’ll pass in knowing
That Jesus died and took your place
All you need to do is believe and accept His grace
Heaven is real, eternity is true
Where you spend it is up to you!
Life in Me
My child, don’t get caught up in doing when I am more interested in you being. Being who I created you to be. Be in Me. I am in you. Remain in Me as you go about your day. Walk by My Spirit and you will not carry out the deeds of the flesh. Only as you live in Me will you be able to carry this out. I desire that you walk in newness of life. Life in Me. Daily surrendered, set apart with you mind focused on Me. Only then can I do through you what I have purposed from the beginning of time. Remain in Me.
The Center of Your World
My child, let Me be the center of your world. Let Me be the topic of your conversation. Let Me be your focus and top priority. I will give direction to every other part of your life when you put Me first. Give Me the first fruits of your labor. Give Me the first part of your day. Let Me lead and direct you into My path and calling on your life. What joy and freedom comes when you put Me first in every area of your life.
Your Father who wants the best for you.
Wisdom Shouts in the Streets!
“Professing to be wise, they became fools,” says Paul in Romans 1:22. As the ungodly chase meaning in their lives, the futility of their pursuits is pretty obvious to the Christian. But what about those in the church who attempt to supplement biblical truth with human philosophy? This is where things get a bit fuzzy.
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,” Proverbs 1:7 proclaims. So when we as believers seek truth from worldly sources, all the while failing to really understand what the Bible has to say about life, trouble is brewing. In so doing, many have been led astray.
A solid understanding of God’s purpose, found only in the Bible, must always come first. Only then can we discern genuine truth. Jesus didn’t pull any punches: “I am the way, the truth, and the life,“ Jesus proclaimed, “and you will know truth, and the truth will make you free.” John 14:6, 8:32.
The Same Power
My child believe and be filled with My Holy Spirit. Allow My Spirit to flood you to overflowing. The same power that raised Jesus from the grave lives in you! Romans 8:11
