My child, look to Me and not your circumstances. I will show you the way. Your life is in My hands and I have the perfect plan for you. Know that I am a faithful Father. Know that I will not lead you astray. You can trust Me with your whole being. The plans I have for you are good. You just need to walk in them.
A New Thing
My child, let not this new thing take you by surprise. Embrace change. This new year I will be releasing new things. They will come quickly, miraculously. Expect the unexpected. Don’t be caught off guard. Press in to what I am doing. It is a new season. A season of revival. What was once dead, I am bringing to life.
Praise and Worship
My child, you don’t praise and worship Me because I need it. You do it because you need it. You were created and designed to worship. You choose what it is or Who it will be. The only time you will have true fulfillment is when you worship Me.
An Exorbitant Price
“…you are not your own. For you have been bought with a price…” (1 Corinthians 6:19-20)
When we think of worship, we often view it as singing together at a gathering, which can indeed be a powerful and fulfilling experience. But what is worship, really? Consider Romans 12:1. “…present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice…which is your spiritual service of worship.”
What a price God paid to purchase us, that He Himself might dwell within us–a living temple. Is it any wonder, then, that He goes on to say in verse 20: “…therefore glorify God in your body?” What might this mean for your life today?
Distractions
My child, put away all that distracts you. Keep the phone off and don’t go to social media until after our time together. Satan wants you preoccupied first thing in the morning. I want your full attention. I have much to share with you. Come to Me with your whole heart. Open My Word and be ready to receive. You will be surprised and amazed at what I have to tell you. Don’t miss out by being distracted.
Trust Me Today
My child, trust Me today. Leave tomorrow’s worries for tomorrow and don’t regret your yesterdays. Today is where I want you to put your focus. Be thankful and joyful for today and all that I have to show you. Don’t miss today by worrying about tomorrow.
Nothing to Fear
My child, don’t sell yourself short. If I am in it, there is nothing to fear. Leave doubt at the door and walk through. Never underestimate My power and ability to do beyond what you ask or think.
Ephesians 3:20-21
Thriving in a Sin-riddled World
What Christian doesn’t yearn to be free from the nagging presence of sin–the grinding reality of a redeemed life pitted against our self-serving flesh in this sin-riddled world. Thankfully, God has made provision for our sin. The purpose of Christ’s redeeming sacrifice is to impart God’s own righteousness to us, in spite of our sinful nature.
Because we now belong to Him, we don’t need to earn God’s favor. We already have it! God showers His grace on us, making His righteousness our own. By His grace alone we are given the unbridled capacity for intimacy with God, in spite of the weakness of our flesh.
This Life is Fleeting
My child, this life is fleeting. It is a blip in time compared to eternity. What are you worrying about? Will all of your anxiety change or alter your situation? Put your trust in Me and My ability to work all things out for good. I love you. You are called according to My purposes. Romans 8:28
Do You Believe Me?
My child, do you believe Me? Do you live a life of faith or are you living by your feelings? Are you walking according to My Word or are you believing the lies of the world? I came to set you free from this world. I came to bring life and light to the darkness. You can know Truth. You can live free. You can know Me when you surrender your whole heart to Me.
