My child, I want everyone to experience the freedom, the joy, the peace and the love that is available in Me. If people only knew how it would nourish their entire being to spend time with Me they’d do it more often. I have created you for intimacy with Me. I cherish the time you give to communing with Me. Nothing that this world has to offer will soothe your soul like time spent with Me.
Galatians 5:22 Psalm 27:4
My child, trust Me today for strength. Believe Me today for joy. I know you’re tired. I see your weariness. I will sustain you. I will raise you up with My righteous right hand. Allow Me to live through you in your weakness.
2 Corinthians 12:10 Nehemiah 8:10 Isaiah 41: 10 Isaiah 50:4
My child, I have called you to love and to serve. You will experience My peace as you allow Me to love others through you. You will have joy as you serve. You will walk in freedom as you fully surrender to Me. Most people fear their loss of freedom if they fully give themselves to Me, but that is the very thing that will allow them to gain it. One of the biggest lies of the evil one is that you must always be in control. Give complete control to Me and watch the enemy flee.
Galatians 5:13&14 James 4:7
I asked the Lord to let me know if I should send this word out to our subscriber list this morning and so I took the Bible and it fell open to Matthew 5:16 which says, “Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.” That was pretty clear, so here it is:
My child, all power comes from Me. Strength and joy comes from Me. I also am the giver of life and love. Look to Me alone for everything you need. If you lack anything, I alone can provide. Trust in Me and My provision when all else seems lost. I’ve called you to live a life of faith. The circumstances you are in provide you with the opportunity to believe Me. Will you?
Glorify God today by believing Him!
God wants us to experience joy and fulfillment, and even lots of pleasure as we live our lives for Him. Still, because the role of suffering occupies such a central place in God’s plan for our ultimate destiny in Him, we can’t simply sweep the issue under the rug. So one way to better understand His purpose for us is to begin to recognize the methods by which He employs suffering as a part of His plan to bring us into our destiny.
What are they? First of all, this world is not our home. We are merely sojourners here. The great people of God in the Bible all knew this to be true.(Hebrews 11:13) Paul was well aware of this fact: “For indeed in this house we groan, longing to be clothed with our dwelling from heaven”(2 Corinthians 5:2, Romans 8:23). We simply were not created for the objective of happiness on this earth, no matter how bountiful life here might turn out to be.
It doesn’t matter how rich we become, what prestige or power we gain in life, or even how wonderful our relationships with family and friends are. Mature Christians know that all these things pale in comparison to what we’ve really been designed for. And the fact is that none of these earthly benefits, no matter how marvelous they are, exempt us from challenges and hardships that come in so many different ways throughout our lives. Merely by virtue of the fact that we live in a world full of sin and suffering—what we call a fallen world—puts us in direct conflict with any hope that God’s design could be solely focused on our happiness here on earth.

My child, I am strength in your weakness. I am love when you have a hard time loving. I am joy when you are broken-hearted. I am peace when all the world is chaotic. Come and rest in My Arms. I will bring the refreshing you need. I nourish your soul and give you the strength you need to go on.
Come to Me all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28
My child, living by faith is not the easy life. Living by faith includes tests and trials. It requires you to trust, let go of control and believe. Not living by faith includes tests and trials too. But when you live by faith you experience My peace in the midst of your trials. You have a knowing, deep down that I am in control and I will work all things together for good. Fear cannot reside where faith is. To live in fear is just as much of a choice as to live in faith, but you have two radically different outcomes. Anxiety and fear or peace and joy. Your choice.
Second Peter 2:19 says, “For by what a man is overcome, by this is he enslaved.”
My child, are you overcome with fear, guilt, anxiety or shame? Or are you overcome with truth, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control? Those who belong to Me have crucified the flesh with it’s passions and desires. If you live by the Spirit you will also walk by the Spirit. Choose to walk in Me today.
Galatians: 5:22-25
My child, hang tough. Though the storm rages I am here. Take hold of My hand and let Me lead you through. Don’t focus on the storm. Focus on Me. Even though it seems rough now, I am bringing you into a place of peace. There will always be storms that come and go., but My love is always with you. My peace is always available. As long as you stay focused on Me, you will ride out the storms and come out on the other side. you can experience peace, rest and joy in the midst of the storms if you stay focused on Me.
My child, hear My voice. Hear Me calling you in the depths of your soul. Come spend time in My presence and I will fill you with My joy. Come wait in My presence and I will give you peace. Rest in Me My child, and I will give you strength. I am the Source of everything you need. Come and drink your fill. I pour out abundantly on all who come and receive. This is the most important part of your day. In My presence you will receive everything you need for the rest of your day. Don’t try to go it alone when you have My wonder working power available. Let Me fill you today with My presence. Receive all I have for you. You’ll see miracles. You’ll experience My glory. You’ll live a Super Natural life.
