Encouragement 4 OCTOBER

Introduction
=========  Scroll down to find the encouragement you need.
Sometimes as the new Season brings 'change' , many feel a doom-gloom emotional response from within. There is no need 4 any alarm, our Heavenly Father has a very considerate and 'slow' way of ushering in 'changes' that will benefit and bless His children. He is so full of Mercy. I am remembering that He knows every Chapter of all my Pages He has prepared 4 me. All I have 2 do is TRUST [rely on, lean on, depend on] Him and obey when He gives me Instructions from the sweet Holy Spirit. It is that simple, just simply Listen, and do what He says, You are the Most important thing 2 God! And highly loved! no matter how u may be feeling today, change must come as each Season brings her own blessings 2 enrich our lives..be encouraged thru these devotionals, In Jesus Name. Amen.


01Oct   Bless The Lord - Great things happen when u continually confess the Mercy of God.  Faith rises up on the inside of u.  The reality that God loves u begins 2 sing thru your spirit.   Put His words continually on your lips.  SPEAK psalms and praises out of your spirit and use the praises of David 2 magnify God.  You will soon begin 2 experience the thrill and the joy of realizing that God is indeed "rich in mercy" bcoz of His great love w/which He loves u.  Bless the Lord today!

Hebrews 13:15,16 - With the help of Jesus, we will continually offer our sacrifices of praise 2 God by telling others of the glory of His Name.  Do not forget 2 do good and 2 share what u have w/those in need, 4 such sacrifices are very pleasing 2 Him.


02Oct - Run 2 God - When u make a mistake, when u miss the mark, remember, u have an advocate w/the Father; Jesus Christ the Righteous.  Run 2 Him!   Don't let satan talk u into sinning in one area of your life bcoz u have missed it in another.  Fear and guilt can drive u further and further from forgiveness in God.  Don't let that happen!  U don't need 2b afraid.  No matter how badly u have sinned, God is eager 2 forgive and 2 cleanse u of all unrighteousness. [A mother does not consider it terrible 2 change her baby's diapers, 4 she knows how 2 care 4 her infant, that is how God is; full of Mercy towards us];  Receive His forgiveness.  Run towards Him, not away, Run into His Big Papa Arms today  and find the love u seek!

I John 1:9 - But if we confess [say] our sins 2 Him, He can be depended on 2 forgive us and 2 cleanse us from every wrong. [And it is perfectly proper 4 God 2 do this 4 us bcoz Christ died 2 wash away our sins that separated us from Him.]



03OCT - I prophesy 2 u that the Feast of Trumpets will birth a New Season that will come into full manifestation and go forth in great strength into 2012.  This will be the beginning of God's government becoming very, very apparent 2 us.  The blessings of that government will come when we are living under His rule.  We are equipped by those things that He gives 2 us and made ready 2 go all the way into this new thing that God is going 2 do.  You don't want 2 miss out on it.

Purpose in yourself 2 get in on that which God is going 2 do.  Establish yourself in that understanding, knowing full well that the Day of the Lord comes into manifestation thru His divine government.  You will C it.  U will know how 2 live in it.  U will know how 2 operate in it.  U will know exactly what that means 4 u individually, and then u can go from glory 2 glory into the purposes of God who knows all things and brings forth prophetic destiny by the power of His Spirit. 

Come now, My children, into a perfect truth, a present truth of that which I Am doing. For, in the days that are b4 u that lead from this point until the time that u call The Feasts of Tabernacles, there will be an outflow, overflow, an infusion of My Spirit in such magnitude that it will elevate u in the kingdom of the Most Holy, 2 a place where your feet will be like hinds feet in high places.

Your eyes will be open that u may C, observe and understand the reality of My kingdom in ways that u have not yet experienced, 4 these are the days of revelation. These are the days of the anointing of My Spirit that rests upon u that breaks the yoke of every bondage. The anointing will pave the way b4 u so that u will not stumble, and u will have no doubt. U will walk on this path, and in your excitement of it, great things will be accomplished by u, My people, says the Lord of Hosts. Enjoy the journey. Walk in faith [confidence in Me].

Go forth w/great joy, 4 indeed these are the days of the manifestation of My kingdom.  In these days the reality of a supernatural church will begin 2b understood in the land and will be according 2 My purposes, says the Lord.  It is My will 4 My people 2 live in the glory of the supernatural realm.  The supernatural events that u desire 2C will become a reality, which will establish u in a greater measure of faith than ever b4.  So, arise and come forth into kingdom purpose, says the Lord God Almighty.

Walk in faith - kingdom purpose in this season is 2 bring God's people into a fullness of faith so that the Kingdom of God can be demonstrated.

03OCT - The external circumstances that have taken u down will now seem insignificant compared 2 the strength u have gained thru endurance. Your experiences have established character and a level of maturity otherwise unattainable. Rejoice in your survival!

In the coming Season simplicity will lead 2 the profound. Refuse 2 allow complications 2 take u off course. Your task is 2 eliminate distractions in order 2 gain spiritual depth. That will mean a shift in focus from satisfying fleshly desire 2 developing a spiritual desire 2b one w/Me, says the Lord. This shift in desire will require discipline and self-control, but the outcome will be worth your effort. For, u will certainly C the manifestation of My glory as u continue 2 seek first the kingdom of God.

Maximize every opportunity 2b in My presence and 2 do My work. Don't be afraid 2 exercise your faith. I will make a very clear distinction between presumption and a faith, which cannot be shaken or dissuaded. U will know exactly where u stand.
If u will put your trust completely in Me, says the Lord, u will experience true unity. This is a Season when u will no longer stretch up as on your tiptoes 2 try 2 understand revelation or 2C and discern as an external exercise. Rather, u will become one w/Me as I am One w/My Father, and u will know spiritual reality-not as something 2b received or attained, but as a result of being joined 2 My heart. It will be the overflow of intimacy.
Don't waste time on any religious exercise. Take advantage of every moment available 2 seek My face, hear My voice, and obey My leading. Plant the seed of a spiritual desire 2 yield completely and instantly 2 the moving of My Spirit. Demonstrate the kingdom. Do your job w/excellence and confidence. U will not be disappointed, says the Lord God Almighty!

03Oct   Avoid Big Failures - There is a subtle strategy satan uses 2 take control of our lives. The B.I.B.L.E calls it 'lasciviousness" and it means "2 have no restraint."  Don't let him use that strategy on u.  Make up your mind and heart today 2 obey God in the little things.   Lasciviousness has been preached as being extreme immorally, but it doesn't start out that way.  It begins w/just a few seemingly innocent thoughts.  Then those thoughts grow and grow until they begin 2 produce serious sin.  Letting go of restraint can cause your flesh 2 gradually becomes boss over your whole being.  Decide today 2 obey God in the little things as well as the big things!

Ephesians 4:17-24 - Let me say this, then, speaking 4 the Lord:  Live no longer as the unsaved do, 4 they are blinded and confused.  Their closed hearts are full of darkness; they are far away from the life of God bcoz they have shut their minds against Him, and they cannot understand His ways.  They don't care anymore about right and wrong and have given themselves over 2 impure ways.  They stop at nothing, being driven by their evil minds and reckless lusts.

But that is not the way Christ taught u!  If u have really heard His voice and learned from Him the Truths concerning Himself, then throw off your 'old' evil nature - the 'old' u that was a partner in your evil ways--rotten thru and thru, full of lust and shame.  But now your attitudes and thoughts must all be constantly changing 4 the better.  Yes, u must be a new and different person, holy and good.  Clothe yourself w/this new nature.

04OCT - Refuse 2b overwhelmed by the circumstances and situations that u are now facing and having 2 deal with. Maintain your peace and stay calm, 4 I will certainly take u thru this time w/great grace. Know that u are well able 2 accomplish what is b4 u 2 do even when u doubt your abilities. Put your confidence in Me, says the Lord. I can do what u cannot.

Mark 10:27 - But Jesus looked at them and said, "With men it is impossible, but not w/God; 4 w/God all things are possible."

04Oct   The Deciding Witness - U are the only one who can decide if u will get into agreement w/God about your situation.  U are perched precariously between victory and defeat.  You are the deciding witness.   On one side of u is the Word authored by satan that says, "You are not going 2 get healed."  On the other side of u, the Word of God is saying, "My Word is Yea and Amen," and "By His stripes, ye were healed."  U are the one who will decide how it turns out.  Pray and establish your witness!  That is your part.  If u will do it, God will back u w/His Word!

Matthew 18:16 - And I tell u this--whatever u bind on earth is bound in heaven, and whatever u free on earth will be freed in heaven.

05OCT - Expect breakthru in areas that have seemed overwhelming and impossible. Trust Me 2 open up the avenue of success. I answer your unwavering and patient faith. Refuse 2 get discouraged or give up; you've been thru 2 much 2 turn back now. Stay the course, and let strength and courage prevail, says the Lord.

Isaiah 45:2 - I will go b4 u and make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron.

05Oct   Subject 2 Change - Don't center your attention on what u can C in this natural, physical sense realm.  Everything u C is temporal and subject 2 change!  Center your attention on the eternal truths of God and look not 2 the things which are seen.  Lay hold of what the Word says u can have.  Put your faith in the unseen eternal realm.  The things which are eternal are not subject 2 change!   God's promises will forever be the same.

2Corinthians 4:18 - So we do not look at what we can C right now, the troubles all around us, but we look forward 2 the joys in Heaven which we have not yet seen.  The troubles will soon be over, but the joys 2 come will last forever. Amen.


06OCT - Beloved, I am creating opportunities in your life that will lead 2 greater unity w/Me, says the Lord. I will reveal those things that create hindrances and distance between us. Let Me show u the way 2 restored innocence and purity, not as one who worships from outside, but as one who can enjoy spiritual intimacy w/confidence in the reality of oneness.

Hebrews 13:20-21 - Now may the God of Peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, thru the blood of the everlasting covenant, make u complete in every good work 2 do His will, working in u what is well pleasing in His sight, thru Jesus Christ, 2 whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

06Oct   Revolutionary Love - Love is truly the only sure secret 2 your success.  It never fails. Nothing works w/o it, and there can be no failure w/it.  When u live by LOVE, u cannot fail!  And the GOOD NEWS is, that LOVE is already built inside of u!  When u walk in Love, God sees 2 it that u succeed.  Agape Love is a new kind of power and is revolutionary.  It makes u master of every situationNo weapon that is formed against u will prosper.  If u can truly understand the great return from living God's Love, u will be joining the greatest revolution of all time--a revolution of Love!

I Corinthians 13:7-8 - If u love someone u will be loyal 2 him no matter what the cost.  U will always believe in him, always expect the best of him, and always stand your ground in defending him.

07OCT - Cooperate w/the work that I am doing in u 2 bring u into a spiritual place of greater unity w/Me, says the Lord. Make a covenant w/your mouth 2 only speak the truth of My Word in faith. Refuse the temptation 2 speak from a heart of unbelief or despair. Do not allow bitterness 2 defile yourself and others, but rather, rise up in hope. And, trust that regardless of how bleak your circumstances seem at any given moment they will work together 4 your ultimate good.

Romans 8:28 - And we know that all things work together 4 good 2 those who love God, 2 those who are the called according 2 His purpose.

07Oct   Leave Foolishness Behind - Let the Word of God inspire u 2 leave foolishness behind and stir within u the faith 2 reach out and receive what u, as a redeemed child of the living God, have a divine right .. not the curse of poverty, but the blessing of prosperity!   God really does desire 2 prosper u.  It's tough 2 grasp that truth bcoz of the poverty mentality satan has had us in 4 so long.   Proverbs 1:32 says, "The prosperity of fools shall destroy them."  That doesnt mean u should avoid being prosperous.  It means u should avoid being a fool!

Proverbs 13:21Curses chase sinners, while blessings chase the righteous!

08Oct   SEED of Faith - If you have been living in the shadow of a mountain waiting 4 God 2 give u some kind of special faith, make a change today.  Step out and put the measure of faith u have 2 work, moving the spiritual, physical, mental or financial obstacles satan has brought against u!  Romans 12:3 says God has dealt every man the measure of faith.  Put that faith 2 work today. Make a decision 2 walk by faith.  Begin 2 operate mountain-moving faith.  Nothing shall be impossible 2 u as u plant faith and water it w/the Word.  Use your faith and watch it grow!

Matthew 17:20 - "Bcoz of your little faith," Jesus told them.  "For if u had faith even as small as a tiny mustard seed u could SAY 2 this mountain [problem/obstacle], 'Move!' and it would go far away. Nothing would be impossible.

09Oct   Your First and Highest Calling - God is waiting 2 have fellowship w/u today.  He longs 4 u 2 just want 2b w/Him.   Don't get so caught up striving 2 please God in the things u do that u forget your 1st and highest calling which is just 2b in fellowship w/Him.  He wants u 2 walk w/Him and talk w/Him. To discuss the things of life w/Him.  He wants u 2 draw near 2 Him and partake of His very nature.  Why don't u go 2 God right now and just Love Him, and let Him love u!

1Corinthians 1:9 - God will surely do this 4 u, 4 He always does just what He says, and He is the One who invited u into this wonderful friendship w/His Son, even Christ our Lord.


10OCT- Arise today. No longer assume the position of a beggar. Arise as a Child of God. Arise 2 new strength. Arise 2 a position of new faith. Arise 2 a position of power and confidence, 4 such is yours in the kingdom of God. For, My kingdom is a kingdom of strength, a kingdom of power, and kingdom of Joy. It is a kingdom in which u should establish your rights; the right 2b healed, the right 2b provided for, the right 2b delivered and the right 2 receive the strength and Joy of the Lord. Allow My PEACE 2 become your peace that u may abide in peace in these days of tribulation, in these the days of the heartache of humanity, in these days of the overturning of the power of man and the establishing of the power of the kingdom of the Most Holy. So, arise, My children. Go up now and become the kings of this age, says the Lord.

10OCT -I have indeed set b4 u opportunities and choices. I would have u choose according 2 life, truth, and faith. Consider the outcome of your decisions and move in the direction that will bring light and not darkness. Ask 4 wisdom 2 choose wisely, says the Lord, 4 I will give u what u need. Activate your faith, and trust Me in all things.
 

Psalm 23:1-6 - The LORD is my Shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me 2 lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name's sake. Yea, though I walk thru the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are w/me; Your rod [of Instruction] and Your staff [my correction bcoz I'm loved], they comfort me. You prepare a table b4 me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head w/oil; My cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the LORD Forever.

10Oct   Live Free From Fear - It is possible 2 live free from fear in this dangerous and unpredictable world.  Yes! Protection is a solid promise of God.  To abide in the Lord means "2 dwell, 2 remain and 2 continue."  To abide in the shadow of the Almighty is 2 live in continual union w/Him, keeping His Word and obeying His Voice.  Living free from fear is a promise 2 those who abide in the Lord.  If u are afraid of dangers around u, spend more time in the Word and in prayer Until your Trust in God overcomes your fear.  Draw close under the shadow of the Almighty and no matter how dangerous this world becomes--He shall surely deliver u!

Psalms 91:1-3 - We Live Within the shadow of the Almighty, sheltered by the God who is above all gods.  This I declare, that He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; He is my God, and I am Trusting Him.  For He rescues u from the fatal plague.

11OCT - Quiet your soul and settle into the responsibilities given 2 u 4 this time. It will be thru integrity and excellence that u will achieve what I have set b4 u. 

Keep in mind that the realm of the Spirit will be reflected in your natural environment.

Keep the faith and refuse 2 allow the enemy 2 get u off course. Do not neglect your times of intimacy with Me, says the Lord, 4 I Am your glory and strength.

Colossians 3:22 Bondservants, obey in all things your masters according 2 the flesh, not w/eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing God.

11Oct   Prepare 4 Persecution - If u are going 2 live 4 God, u are going 2 run into persecution somewhere along the line.  The devil's going 2 make sure of that!  But when u are wise 2 the strategies of the devil, it's harder 4 him 2 use them successfully on u 2 confuse u and get u off track.  The more u grow 2b like Jesus, and thru more of God's Glory is revealed thru your life, the bigger threat u are 2 satan's kingdom.  All who live godly lives are going 2 suffer persecution.  So, when it comes, rejoice and be glad!  There is no way persecution can hurt u if u will take the [Luke 6:23] cure: rejoice and leap 4 Joy!

2Timothy 3:12 - Yes, and those who decide 2 pls Christ Jesus by living godly lives will suffer at the hands of those who hate Him.

Luke 6:20-23 says: "The Be-ATTITUDES,": Jesus speaking in Red:
"BLESSED are u poor, For YOURS is the Kingdom of God.  21)  BLESSED are u who hunger now, 4 u shall be filled.  BLESSED are u who weep now, For u shall laugh again.  22) BLESSED are u when men hate u, and when they exclude u [like my family members], And revile u, and cast out your name as evil.  For the Son of Man's sake.  23) Rejoice! in that day and leap 4 Joy!! For indeed your REWARD/HARVEST is great in Heaven, for in like manner their fathers did 2 the prophets.

12OCT - Even though u cannot seem 2C the next step, I have gone b4 u 2 make crooked places straight, and I will lead u by the way of peace. Yours is not 2 worry or fret about what the future holds, but only 2 trust that I am w/u and will direct your steps even in the midst of the storms of life. This is a time when u need 2 look up and maintain strong faith, for there is nothing impossible 4 Me 2 do, says the Lord. Only believe!

Isaiah 42:16 - I will bring the blind by a way they did not know; I will lead them in paths they have not known. I will make darkness light b4 them, and crooked places straight. These things I will do 4 them, and not forsake them.

12Oct   Tune in 2 The Spirit of Grace - The Holy Spirit was given 2 u 2 counsel and teach u how 2 live in this present world.  The "Spirit of Grace" instructs u from inside!  Becoming spiritually minded is life and peace. When u tune in 2 the voice of the Spirit of Grace, u can become spiritually minded.  Listen 2 His still, small voice inside your heart.  Listen and obey Him. Trust Him bcoz He has your well-being in mind.  Perhaps He's prompting u 2 get up a little earlier and spend more time in the Word and in prayer. Whatever He is telling u 2 do, do it.  You will be stronger in the grace of God, and in the blessing of God.

Titus 2:11 - For the free gift of eternal salvation is now being offered 2 everyone..

13OCT - I've been thinking about this scripture: Jeremiah 12:5 "If u have run w/the footmen, and they have wearied u, then how can u contend with horses? And if in the land of peace, in which u trusted, they wearied u, then how will u do in the floodplain of the Jordan?" And, I was asking the Lord how can we contend w/horses? They are bigger and stronger than we are. This was His answer: U, My beloved, have been given power over ALL the works of the enemy. That even means the power of something that seems bigger or more powerful than u are. All u have 2 do is be led by My Spirit 2 defeat all of the powers of darkness. Do not be afraid; no weapon formed against u will prosper!


2 Corinthians 2:14 - Now thanks be 2 God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and thru us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.

13Oct   From Religion 2 Reality - U were made in the righteousness of God in Christ!  U were made a "joint-heir w/Him."  This Truth will radically alter your life if u will accept it.  It will take u from dead religion 2 reality!   Jesus has given u a position of Authority.  All u have 2 do is step up and receive it, 2 take your rightful place beside Him and learn 2 operate the way He does.  He went 2 the Cross 2 give u what He already possessed.  U are everything 2 the Father that Jesus is!  John 17:23 says that God loves u as much as He loves Jesus.  Dare 2 receive this message in your heart.  Give yourself permission  2 believe it. The reality of who u are IN Jesus can deliver u from religious bondage forever!

2Corinthians 5:21 - For God took the sinless Christ and poured into Him our sins. Then, in exchange, He poured God's goodness into us! What a provoking thought! That my sins, mistakes, stupid decisions, were paid by God's innocent Son so I could be blameless! O Lord, how do I thank You 4 all You have and are doing 4 me? Thank You is not enough.

14OCT - Be done w/all trauma of the past. Today is a new day, and this is a day when u can move forward w/a new lease on life. By faith remove the stigma of condemnation and rise up in new hope and confidence that u are more than a conqueror. Set your face like flint and allow nothing 2 deter u from your desired and sought-after goal. I am your Hope, your Strength, and your very present Help in times of trouble, says the Lord.

Romans 8:37 - Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors thru Him who loved us.

14Oct   That Glorious Name - Do u as a believer put faith in the powerful Name of Jesus?  Dig into the Word and find out just how much power and authority His Name carries.  Use that Name every time u pray.  All that God is and does is represented in the Name of Jesus.  When u present your requests 2 the Father on the basis of all that  Jesus is, u can boldly expect 2 have those requests granted -- not bcoz u are worthy, but bcoz He is!  Jesus' Name alone carries enough clout 2 guarantee your prayers will be answered.   Every circumstance in your life must BOW its knee in honor of that glorious Name!

John 14:13 - "In solemn truth I tell u, anyone believing in ME shall do the same miracles I have done, and even greater ones, bcoz I am going 2b w/the Father," said Jesus.  "U can ASK Him 4 anything using MY Name, and I will do it, 4 this will bring praise 2 the Father bcoz of what I, the Son, will do 4 u.  Yes, Ask anything, using My Name, and I will do it !

15Oct   The Heart of the King - God desires that His people be governed according 2 His Will.  If u will open the way thru prayer, God will deal w/the leaders.  Make it a point 2 pray 4 them today.   God heard the prayer of King Nebuchadnezzar.  He was an ungodly ruler of an ungodly nation.  He had taken captives from the land of Judah.  He had some of God's people under his authority.  So, God began 2 deal w/him.  If u will humble yourself and pray in unity, God can change the injustice and corruption that exist in our country.  God can change the hearts of the leaders.  He will make sure His children are governed justly!

Proverbs 21:1 -  Just as water is turned into irrigation ditches, so the Lord directs the king's thoughts.  He turns them wherever He wants 2.

16Oct   Put Patience 2 Work -  Patience is not designed 2 help u suffer failure gracefully,  It is designed 2 put u on the road 2 success.  Patience (or being consistently constant) is the power twin of faith.  They work together 2C to it that the promises of God are fulfilled in your life.   Faith opens the door 2 God's promise 4u; and patience keeps it open 'until' that promise is fulfilled.  So if u have your faith sights set on a certain promise of God today, dont let the delay discourage u.  Put patience 2 work.  The Word guarantees u will receive your reward.

Hebrews 10:35-36 - Do not let this happy Trust in the Lord die away, no matter what happens.  Remember your reward!  You need 2 keep on patiently doing God's Will if u want Him 2 do 4 u all that He has promised. His coming will not be delayed much longer.

17OCT - Let the rain from heaven fall upon u. Let it refresh u. For, in the refreshing of that rain your spirit man will be quickened, your faith will be energized, and u will come 2 know that My glory is coming in a fresh and new way. There will be an abundance of new life within u. My power will spring up, and the power of My word will become the sword by which u will defeat the enemy. Allow the rain of the Spirit 2 bring that which is needed. It is time 4 u, My people, 2 ask 4 the rain, in the time of the rain, and this is that time. It is time 4 u 2 ask in faith that the water of heaven would fall upon u and bring u out into a bright place; into a place of glory; into a place of My presence; into a place of Healing; into a place of restoration and renewal. Let the rain of the Spirit become a river that flows thru and around u, says the Lord.

17OCT - To those of u who seem 2b stuck and don't know what 2 do 2 get unstuck, u need 2 quiet the inside voice of worry and regret, and seek Me 4 wisdom. Do not rely on your own ideas that emanate from frustration and desperation, and refuse 2 allow emotional reactions 2 motivate u. I will show u the next step and the way out of your dilemma if u will truly listen, says the Lord.
 

Proverbs 3:5-6 -Trust in the LORD w/all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

17Oct   Living the Love Life - Commit yourself today 2 lay down your own life.  When u lay down your life, u live 2 please God instead of yourself.  U let your life be guided by His Love.  Laying down your life may mean spending time in prayer 4 someone, laying down your own selfish desires in order 2 meet the needs of another.  It means giving of yourself w/Love and understanding.  Tell the Lord that u are willing 2 take up the Love life today by laying down your own life.  Accept His call 2 give of yourself.  Count it a privilege 2 share Jesus' Love w/others.

John 15:13,14 - And here is how 2 measure it --the greatest love is shown when a person lays down his life 4 his friends.; and u are My friend if u obey Me.


18OCT - You are My offspring, says the Lord. You belong 2 Me. The past days, months, or even years of struggle are becoming a thing of the past as I prepare u 4 this time of new things. Refuse 2 allow the fears, disappointments and failures of the past 2 dictate your current course. Allow Me 2 bring forth a transformation. I will heal the brokenness of the past and give u new hope 4 the future.

Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the thoughts that I think toward u, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, 2 give u a future and a hope.
  
18Oct   From Tradition 2 Truth - If religious traditions have robbed u of the goodness of God, if they have taught u He brings trouble into your life so He can teach u something, start washing those traditions away w/the Truth.  Open your heart 2 receive the Truth about your Heavenly Father.  In order 2 receive all the benefits God desires 2 give u, u must be absolutely sure that He is a good God.  U must be certain that His Will 4 u is health, not sickness, prosperity, not poverty, happiness, not sorrow.  Get out your Bible and let God Himself tell u thru His own Word that He is the God that heals u, that He is a God of mercy, lovingkindness and compassion.  God is Love!

Psalms 103:2-5 - I Bless The Holy name of God w/all my heart. Yes, I will bless the Lord and not forget the glorious things He does 4 me. He forgives all my sins. He heals me.

19OCT - There are places in u that have required healing. Until now u have received a measure of healing, but I am releasing the full measure in those who will believe wholeheartedly and w/o any fear or doubt. Your faith has been prepared 2 receive all that is necessary, but u must exercise and put into action the faith that you've been given, says the Lord. Only believe, and u will receive.

Mark 11:23 - "For assuredly, I say 2 u, whoever says 2 this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.

19Oct   Don't Let Division Stunt Your Growth - Don't let satan stop your spiritual growth by giving in 2 the spirit of division.  Envyings, strife and divisions reduced the early Corinthian Christians back 2 the natural, or carnal, state they were in b4 they were born again.  Satan's goal is the same today!  That same spirit of division is sent against u continually.  A house divided against itself will fall.  That spirit of division is assigned against your personal life, your Church life, your social life and your family life.  U dont have 2 yield 2 that spirit!  Speak re Truth IN Love!

ICorinthians 3:1-3 - Dear family, I have been talking 2 u as tho u were still just babies in the Christian life, who are not following the Lord, but your own desires; I cannot talk 2 u as I would 2 healthy Christians, who are filled w/the Spirit.  I have had 2 feed u w/milk and not w/solid food, bcoz u couldn't digest anything stronger.  And even now u still have 2b fed on milk.  For u are still only baby Christians, controlled by your own desires, not God's.
                                                                              
20OCT - I have spoken 2 u thru My written word. I have spoken 2 u thru My prophetic word. I have given u dreams and visions 2 assure u of My promises 2 u of provision and protection. All u have 2 do is 2 put your trust in Me and believe what I have said. Refuse 2 allow fear 2 have a place in your heart or 2 allow doubt and unbelief 2 undermine or destroy your faith, says the Lord. Stand your ground of strong belief and be unwavering.

Numbers 23:19 - "God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?

20Oct   Prescription 4 Life - Do u want 2 know how 2 live a superior life right here on earth? Jesus has given a presciption 4 life that can be lived right here, right now.  Your purpose on earth is 2 pls God.  You are 2 lay down your life in order 2 fulfill His desires.  Jesus did not live His life 4 Himself.  He lived it completely 4 God and He lived in total Victory.  By spending enough time w/Jesus so u can learn 2 hear His Voice and respond in obedience, u will be genuinely fulfilled.  U are His special possession in the earth and He wants 2 give u  
His prescription 4 life!

Mark 8:34-35 - Then He called His disciples and the crowds 2 come over and listen.  "If any of u wants 2b my follower," He told them, "U must put aside your own pleasures and shoulder your cross, and follow ME closely.  If u insist on saving your life, u will lose it.  Only those who throw away their lives 4 MY sake and 4 the sake of the Good News will ever know what it means 2 really live.

21OCT - Take advantage of every opportunity 2 demonstrate My love 4 all of mankind. Express My heart toward those in your environment thru respect, love, and kindness. You will be judged according 2 your deeds among men. Since u are the dwelling place of My Spirit show by example the essence of My existence as u abide in My love and allow it 2 flow out of u w/sincerity of heart, says the Lord.

John 15:9 - As the Father loved Me, I also have loved u; abide in My love.

21Oct   Covenant Prosperity - God has a purpose 4 preparing His people.  He desires 2 establish His covenant on the earth and desires 4 His people 2 give 2 those in need.  Forget about your own needs.  Raise your Vision and set your mind on giving 2 meet someone else's, on establishing God's covenant in the Earth.  If u will start giving, if u will start taking care of the needs in people's pocketbooks, u will be far more likely 2 win their hearts.  Than stand fast in faith and get ready 2 enjoy the greatest prosperity u have ever known!

Deuteronomy 8:18 - Always remember that it is the Lord your God who gives u power 2 become rich, and He does it 2 fulfill His promise 2 your ancestors. [TLB]

22Oct   When Tough Times Come - No matter how tough or painful a situation u may be facing today, Trust and Obey the Directions [Instructions] of your Heavenly Father.  The Holy Spirit can bring u the comfort u need.  U may not feel like praising the Lord or obeying Him when He asks u 2 read a particular scripture.  But if u will obey Him, u will be strengthened.  His Gentle Love and Re-assurance will replace the ANGER and PAIN u are experiencing.  Walking in the fear of the Lord is having so much Respect 4 Him that whenever He reveals something u need 2 do, u do it immediately -- even if it goes against your natural desires.  Trust Him during your tough times!

Acts 9:31 - Meanwhile, the Church had peace thru-out Judea, Galilee and Samaria, and grew in strength and numbers.  The believers learned how 2 walk in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of The Holy Spirit.

23Oct   Choose Life -If u were given the choice between Life and Death, which would u choose?  The answer seems obvious. But, in reality, it's not.  The Bible says death is being carnally minded, being  entangled in this present worldly realm. The Bible tells u what life is.  "My Son, attend 2 My Words," [Proverbs 4:20-22]" ... 4 they are Life!"  To be 'worldly-minded' is Death.  To be 'Word-minded' is Life.  Dont get so entangled w/the business of living that u choose Death by default.  Put the Word of God first.  Choose Life!

Romans 8:6 - Following after the Holy Spirit leads 2 Life and Peace, but following after the old sinful nature leads 2 Death.


23Oct - Be patient and wait for the proper time and opportunity to deal with places of division and strife.  There are corrections to be made, but certainly not in the heat of the moment.  I am in process of revealing hidden motives and attitudes in yourself and others that can result in honest examination and communication.  Refuse to rise up in pride in any confrontation.  Humility is the key to resolution, says the Lord. 

Ephesians 4:30-32  And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom u were sealed for the day of redemption.  Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from u, with all malice.  And be kind 2 one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ forgave u.

24OCT - I hear in the spirit the battle cry of the Lord; the Lord of heavens armies; the Lord of Hosts saying, listen, My people, no longer fear that which is coming. No longer be afraid of that which u C or hear on the news. No longer worry about those things that affect u, 4 indeed, I Am the Lord of your glory. I Am the Lord that leads u, guides u, and provides 4 u. I Am the Lord God Almighty that goes b4 u and prepares the path that u will walk on in these days. So the battle that is b4 u is one of victory, a rallying point in these days. When condemnation comes rally 2 My flag; rally 2 the victory. When the attack of the enemy comes against u rally 2 My banner, 4 My banner over u is victory. If u will call upon My name and if u will fight the good fight of faith then surely I will be w/u in this war. I will cause it 2 become a war that declares victory is yours, says the Lord. 

24OCT - Be aware that the enemy of your soul will use whatever avenue he can 2 threaten and intimidate u so that he can bring u into submission 2 his power. Once under his power he can control u. Stay free, beloved, and do not believe his lies or submit 2 his intimidation. Put your trust in Me 4 protection and provision, says the Lord.
 

Acts 9:1-5 -Then Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went 2 the high priest and asked letters from him 2 the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound 2 Jerusalem. As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven. Then he fell 2 the ground, and heard a voice saying 2 him, "Saul, Saul, why are u persecuting Me?" And he said, "Who are You, Lord?" Then the Lord said, "I am Jesus, whom u are persecuting. It is hard 4 u 2 kick against the goads."

24Oct   God Goes Too! - Be aware today that God is Inside of u, Talking 2 u, Teaching u, Counseling u, Empowering u and Enduing u w/Himself.  Cultivate a constant awareness of the reality of God living IN u!  When u get dressed today, look in thr mirror and say, "I am united 2 the Lord and I have become one spirit w/Him.  Everywhere u go today..God goes.  God is in u.  The Power of God is in u.  The Wisdom of God is in u.  The Victory of God is in u."  Depend on the Spirit of God inside u.  He will put u over!

I Corinthians 6:17 - But if u give yourself 2 the Lord, u and Christ are joined together as one person

26OCT - Be quiet on the inside, and let My still small voice resound, 4 I will show u things and bring u thru 2 the victory that only comes from yielding 2 what I reveal. U can gain much victory as u overcome, but the victory that I give will be absolutely supernatural and beyond what u can do thru self-effort. It will quicken your faith and cause u  trust Me more, says the Lord. These are days when u will have every opportunity 2 rise up spiritually and become one w/Me.

1 Kings 19:11-12 -Then He said, "Go out, and stand on the mountain b4 the LORD." And behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces b4 the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.

25Oct   Get Rid of the Frogs Have u ever wrestled w/one of those problems that stubbornly refused 2 go away?  It seemed 2b immune 2 all solutions?  When the Lord sent the plague of frogs on Egypt, they were everywhere!  It was a serious problem.  Moses asked Pharaoh 'when' he should entreat the Lord 2 get rid of the frogs and Pharaoh said, "Tomorrow!"  But he could have said, "Right now, today!"  When are u going 2 get rid of the frogs in your life?  Do u realize they'll stay around as long as u will let them?  They will be there until u finally make a quality decision 2 go w/the Word of God and cast them out!  Don't be like old Pharaoh and let thr frogs stay one more day!

Exodus 8:9,10 - "Be so kind as 2 tell me when u want them 2 go," Moses said, "and I will pray that the frogs will die at the time u specify, everywhere except in the river." "Do it tomorrow," Pharaoh said.

26Oct   Take Your Place - You are the reason Jesus came 2 Earth and died and lived again.  He didn't do it 4 Himself.  He did it so He could bring u alongside--so u could wear His Name and wield His Authority on the Earth.  He did it so u could stand b4 God and be everything 2 Him that Jesus is.  B4 Jesus ascended, He said, "All Authority is given unto Me both in Heaven and in Earth."  Then He turned around and gave that Authority 2 the Church by giving u His Name.  When u were born again, u were made the Righteousness of God IN Christ.  Dare 2 take your place w/Jesus, today.  Dare 2 believe what the Word of God says about u!

Ephesians 2:4-6 - But God is so rich in mercy; He loved us so much that even tho we were spiritually dead and doomed by our sins, He gave us back our lives again when he raised Christ from the dead -- only by His undeserved favor have we ever been saved -- and lifted us up from the grave into glory along w/Christ, where we sit w/Him in Heavenly realms -- all bcoz of what Christ did.

27OCT - Beloved, it is My desire that u be free from all bondage. The price 4 your freedom has been paid, and all u have 2 do is access it by faith. Be free from all guilt and condemnation and let nothing come between u and Me, says the Lord. You are Mine; You belong 2 Me. You are precious in My sight. Take refuge in that truth, says the Lord.

1 Corinthians 6:20 - For u were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.

27Oct   Don't Depend on Guesswork - When u encounter a problem, seek the Lord thru the Word and in prayer and Ask Him what the Solution is.  Dont stand around wringing your hands and talking 2 others about your problem!  Go 2 God.  He has the right answer.  The Lord always has the answer 2 your problem.  No matter how much Scripture u learn, no matter how fully u perceive who u are in Christ Jesus, u will never outgrow your need 2 go 2 the Word.  Ask God what His plans are 4 your situation.  Dont decide your own course of action and then Ask Him 2 bless it.  Find out what His plan is.  It' already blessed.

Jeremiah 33:3 - ASK ME and I will tell u some remarkable Secrets about what is going 2 happen here.


28OCT - The enemy has tempted u in various ways 2 entertain reproach and condemnation thru the things you've heard and seen. This is a work of the devil against u. Recognize the lies 4 what they are and refuse the temptation 2 fall into this trap. When rejection comes, it is not from Me, says the Lord. Do not become ensnared, but rather stir yourself 2 know the truth and be free.

Psalms 91:4 - He shall cover u w/His feathers, and under His wings u shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler.

28Oct   Enjoy the Victory - The Bible says u are a Victor, more than a conqueror!  Victory means "final and complete supremacy or superiority in battle or war, success in any contest."  To conquer means "2 get the better of in competition or struggle, 2 master, prevail over, 2 crush, 2 defeat."  Jesus gave u more than a ticket 2 Heaven!  Thru Him, u have overcome, mastered and prevailed over this world and all your problems.  Thanks be 2 God 4 making u an overcomer!  Praise Him 4 joining u w/the One who has conquered the world, the flesh and the devil! Enjoy the Victory!

ICorinthians 15:57 - How we thank God 4 all of this!  It is He who makes us Victorious thru Jesus Christ our Lord!

29Oct   Come, Lord Jesus - If u are feeling hopeless, get your eyes off this world and get them onto the soon return of Jesus.  NO matter how much pressure comes on the Earth, no matter how dark the natural circumstances around u are, u have the blessed hope of His soon return!   This Truth will raise your spirits and purify u.  It will cause u 2 live uprightly, 2 separate u from the sin and failure of the world around u.  It will lift u into the Joy and Victory of God.  The best is yet 2 come!  Shout Hallelujah in the midst of trouble and say, "Even so, come Lord Jesus."

I John 3:2-3 - Yes, dear friends, we are already God's children, right now, and we cannot even imagine what it is going 2b like later on.  But we do know this, that when He comes we will be like Him, as a result of seeing Him as He really is.  And everyone who really believes this will try 2 stay pure bcoz Christ is pure.

30Oct   It's Your Decision - If u are sitting around waiting 4 Jesus 2 decide 2 heal u ... 4 Jesus 2 decide 2 help u ... 4 Jesus 2 decide 2 prosper u and give u Victory ... u are in 4 a long wait. Bcoz that is not Jesus' decision. It's yours!  The daughter of Jairus, a ruler of the synagogue, was at the point of death. Jairus shoved his way thru the crowd and fell at Jesus' feet saying decisively, "Lay your hands on her and she shall live."  Jairus made a decision 2 believe Jesus was the Healer!  Jesus immediately turned and followed him.  In a crowd of 1000's, the faith decision of one man directed the actions of Jesus!

Mark 5:22-24 - The leader of the local synagogue, whose name was Jairus, came and fell down b4 Him, pleading w/Him 2 heal his little daughter. "She is at the point of death," he said in desperation. "Please come and place your hands on her and make her live."  Jesus went w/him, and the crowd thonged behind.

31OCT - I would suggest 2 each of u that u put yourself in a place of faith that will allow u 2 enter into the secret place 2 receive that which has been hidden on your behalf. Seek the treasures of darkness and the hidden riches that I have 4 u. No one is excluded. Everybody is involved. One treasure that is there 4 u will be the manifestation of healing power. If u have received some encouragement, some small portion, stay w/it; don't give up on it. U will get strong and stronger as u go, 4 I Am w/u and 4 u. I know u. I know your struggles. I know what u go thru. I know what u ask and desire. I know your name and who u are, and u are not a forgotten one. I am bringing u forth into My kingdom, and My desire is 2 share w/u in a very intimate way, says the Lord. So, enter into the secret place 2 get full understanding of who I am in u.
 

Psalm 91:1-2 - He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust."

31OCT - Beloved, check the course of your current actions, attitudes, and motivations 2C where they will take u. Now is the time 2 make course corrections so that u can stay on track w/Me, says the Lord. I see many of u, My children, who are making judgments against others that will come back 2 u as judgment. Extend My mercy and goodness 2 those around u.
 

Luke 6:36-37 -"There4 be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful. Judge not, and u shall not be judged. Condemn not, and u shall not be condemned. Forgive, and u will be 4given."

31Oct   Don't Play Dead - Are u willing 2 get violent today?  Yes, violent, determined, zealous and so committed 2 the things of God that u will withstand any attempt 2 take therm away from u!  U cannot just lie down and play dead when u are dealing w/the devil.  He is not going 2 let go of any area of your life -- your health, your finances, or anything else -- w/o a fight!  He is not going 2 give up unless u force him.  The Israelites had 2 fight 2 take their promised land. So will u.  Dont sit there in the wilderness.  Dont sit there while the devil steals the blessings of God out from under u.  Take the land today.  Get violent about it!

 Matthew 11:12 - And from the time John the Baptist began preaching and baptizing until now ardent multitudes have been crowding toward the Kingdom of Heaven,

Amen 2 Jesus!
