Encouragement 4 SEPTEMBER

Introduction
=========
  This will be the last month of SUMMER and what a summer it has been. Many times our fears are nothing more than a shadow that we fear but it never harms us! Next time u and I think of a fear, let us remember that a shadow cannot hurt us!
                                                                  
Spirit of Prophecy  Bulletin by Bill and Marsha Burns
As a new Season comes 2 a close and the next is about 2 begin in our lives, let's not forget 2 glean all the good we have learned even from a difficult time in our life, and hold on 2 the new experiences we added 2 the pages of our book...called our LIFE. Let this September month of encouragement bless u! Here u will find a collection of 'help' from the things I have learned, was reminded of, or appreciated in receiving, good information should never be put away on a dusty shelf 2b forgotten, no! But 2 be passed on 2 someone who may need help themselves. Be blessed!

01SEP - My people, be alert 2 instructions that I will bring that will position u 4 a change in spiritual seasons. I will soon bring an announcement thru the voices of My prophets. But, u also must be aware that as certainly as I speak 2 u thru the prophets, the devil will speak a counterfeit word thru false prophets. U must test the spirits and discern truth from error. My word will bear witness 2 your spirit, says the Lord. Gullibility comes thru trusting people 2 much. Trust only Me.

Romans 9:1 - I tell the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit.

01SEP  - Perseverance Gets Results - Perseverance is the key 2 success in intercession.  Laying down your life in prayer is necessary 4 God's will 2b accomplished.  Demonic forces keep God's will from being accomplished in people's lives.  These forces must be broken down thru prayer so strongholds are destroyed and spiritual blinders are removed from the spiritual eyes of people.  God will not go against someone's will but He will move thru your intercession 2 reveal Himself 2 them.  Persevere till u C results!

Luke 11:8 - "I say 2 u, tho he will not rise and give 2 him, bcoz he is his friend, yet bcoz of his persistence he will rise and give him as many as he needs.

02SEP - Refuse 2b offended or take what other people say as a personal attack against u. The enemy would have u respond in ways that will open the door 2 a greater assault. Forgive quickly and move on. Don't dwell on the things that have gone wrong, but rather take the time 2b thankful. It is of vital importance that u keep your focus on things that really matter, says the Lord.

Philippians 4:8 - Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy-meditate on these things.
                                                                                     Autumn Reflection
02SEP - Go 4 Revelation Knowledge - If u need something from God, determine right now that u are going 2 meditate on the Word 'until' u get a revelation.  Knowledge that has been revealed directly 2 your heart by the Spirit of God is called Revelation Knowledge.  The Word will 'light up' your heart if u meditate on it enough.  It will absolutely revolutionize your life.  Keep that Word b4 u 'until' u receive a revelation of Jesus as your Healer or your Deliverer or your Financier--whatever u need Him 2b.  Do not settle 4 a shallow 'mental' understanding of Him.  Get a revelation!

2 Peter 1:2,3 - Grace and Peace be multiplied 2 u in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, as His Divine power has given 2 us all things that pertain 2 life and godliness, thru the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue.

03SEP - God's Country - The next time u are tempted 2 look at situations in this country as impossible, remember 2 Whom it belongs.  This country belong 2 God!  God Himself stirred the heart and mind of Christopher Columbus and planted within him the dream of charting a new course 2 the West.  God brought Columbus 2 America!  He had a special purpose 4 America from the very beginning.  God needed a country where the gospel could be preached freely and not suppressed.  Remember, God's purposes will be fulfilled in this country.  It belongs 2 Him!

Luke 18:27 - But He said [Red] "The things which are impossible w/men are possible w/God."

04SEP - Let God Be Glorified -  God is no respecter of persons.  His Word works 4 everyone.  It is how it is received that makes the difference.  In other countries where people are not bound by religious traditions, they do not argue w/the Word of God.  They simply believe the messenger who tells them Jesus came  deliver them of sin, sickness and death.  They believe w/child-like faith.  When we learn 2 hear the Word of God like that, the same thing will happen 2 us.  God gets glory when the blind C and the lame walk and the maimed are made whole!  Do not let tradition keep God from being glorified.

Matthew 14:14; 15:30,31 - And when Jesus went out He saw a great multitude; and He was moved w/compassion 4 them, and healed their sick. (15) Then great multitudes came 2 Him, having w/them those who were lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others, and they laid them down at Jesus' feet, and He healed them.  So the multitude marveled when they saw the mute speaking, the maimed made whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.

05SEP - Start SPEAKING Faith Now -  Speaking words of faith is good spiritual exercise.  If u will meditate on those words and continue 2 say them, the truth will begin 2 sink in.  They will take root in your heart and begin 2 grow.  Eventually, u really will be speaking from the abundance of your heart.  It takes faith and words 2 put the law of faith in motion.  It is the words that come from the heart that produce results.  When that happens, it will not matter what u have been believing 4, the devil himself will not be able 2 talk u out of it!

Matthew 12:34-37 - "Brood of vipers!  How can u, being evil, speak good things?  For out of the abundance of the Heart the Mouth speaks.  "A good man out of the good treasure of his Heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.  "But I say 2 u that 4 EVERY 'idle' [speaking w/o thinking] word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.  "For by your WORDS u will be justified, and by YOUR words u will be condemned."

05SEP - Arise, My people, and come forth from the darkness. For, indeed these last days are evil days and darkness prevails thru-out the land. It is time 4 u 2 rise and shine 4 your light has come and Christ, the resurrected one, comes 2 u as the Light of the world. And, as He touches u and teaches u and leads u, u also become the light of this world. So, do not hide the light that u have, even in this present time, under a basket, but allow the resurrected One, the Holy One, 2 touch u and cause your light 2 shine brightly in these last days. For the light that shines thru u in these last days will become a beacon 2 others. Others will find themselves coming out of the darkness and coming into the light-the light that shines upon u and thru u. So do not discount yourself. Become that which has been written about u, says the Lord.

05SEP - Beloved, I have called u 2b My witnesses, says the Lord. Be aware, however, that it is hypocritical 2 only speak the truth w/o demonstrating the kingdom. The greatest witness is that of example, and it is more crucial than ever that u be an example of your faith in every detail. Let your behavior become a model that others can follow.  

Matthew 7:21 - "Not everyone who says 2 Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say 2 Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' And then I will declare 2 them, 'I never knew u; depart from Me, u who practice lawlessness!'"

06SEP - Be aware that stagnation is a weapon formed against u. Rise up in absolute resistance 2 defeat this attack. Stir yourself up 2 greater freedom in the Spirit. This is time of a new order of things, and u must make yourself ready 2 receive the new wine of revelation 4 the days ahead. Make yourself a new wineskin thru your flexibility 2 move w/the flow of My Spirit and your willingness 2 receive this great refreshment, says the Lord.

Mark 2:22  -"And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine bursts the wineskins, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But new wine must be put into new wineskins."

SEED  
6SEP - Under Pressure? Plant! -  Jesus has the answer if u feel like u are under pressure these days.  U can give your way right out from under the pressure the devil brings 2 bear.  Giving is always Jesus' way out.  Jesus compares the entire Kingdom of God 2 a SEED.  Every living thing on this Earth came from a SEED.  When satan puts u under pressure, go 2 Jesus and let Him tell u how and where 2 plant.  If u will do that, the SEED will grow up until it breaks the power of darkness and lack.  Plant your Time, your Money, even your Clothes!  Put the devil under pressure 4 a change!

Galatians 6:7 - Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; 4 whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

07SEP - I am stirring up your sense of adventure and expectation 4 that which is yet 2b discovered in the realm of the Spirit. Don't waste this opportunity 2 position yourself 2C, understand, and move in the fresh anointing that is being made available 2 u. Let this stirring have it's way w/your spirit 2 awaken and prepare u 2 come up higher and 2 exercise your faith 2 receive all that I have 4 u, says the Lord.

Isaiah 42:13 - The LORD shall go forth like a mighty man; He shall stir up His zeal like a man of war. He shall cry out, yes, shout aloud; He shall prevail against His enemies.

07SEP - Strike It Rich -  Are u tired of poverty hanging around u?  Let the Truth of Galatians 3:14 grow in your heart, "If ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's SEED, and HEIRS ACCORDING 2 THE PROMISE."  The reality of that verse can connect u 2 the power of God.  God has already REdeemed u from the Curse of poverty.  Deuteronomy 28 says, "U are Blessed in the city, Blessed in the country.  Blessed going out, Blessed coming in.  Blessed in your barns [possessions/finances], Blessed in your fields [Your skills/talents],  Blessed in all the Works-of-your-hands."  Put the Blessing of Deuteronomy 28 in your heart and say w/your MOUTH out loud 'until' your Mr Mind believes it.  U will C the Results of Victory in your life w/o fail!

Galatians 3:29 - And if u are Christ's, then u are Abraham's seed, and heirs according 2 the PROMISE.

08SEP - You are nearing the end of an era, a period of time marked by a greater level of discernment and the ability 2 express what u discern w/clarity. Even tho that season is ending, u will not lose the spiritual acuity that you've gained. Instead, u will build on that foundation of precision and have opportunities 2 expand spiritually and apply that new level of discernment 2 every area of your existence. U will need 2 look deeply into the details of every situation w/o fear of recrimination. The more honest and accountable u are, the better able u will be 2 C and accept the truth. The keys 2 discovery are flexibility and transparency, says the Lord.

John 8:32 - "And u shall know the truth, and the truth [u understand] shall make u free."

08SEP - Plant a SEED and Watch It Grow! - If u are facing a need, Do not panic ...  plant a SEED!  God's economy is always the same and it always works perfectly.  If u have good earth [soil], good seed [a good place 2 plant ur seed] and good water [your thankfulness 2 God in faith standing on believing until u C results], u are going 2 have growth.  Your SEED may take the form of money or time or some other resources u have 2 give.  Just make sure u put life in it by giving it Faith and surrounding it w/Praise [thankfulness] and worship.  Plant your SEED and watch it grow!

Mark 4:30-32 - "The Parable of the mustard SEED" - And He said, "To what shall we liken the Kingdom of God?  Or w/what parable shall we picture it?  "It is like a mustard SEED which, when it is sown on the ground, is smaller than all the SEEDS on Earth;  "but when it is sown, it grows up and becomes greater than all herbs, and shoots out large branches, so that the birds of the air may nest under its shade."

09SEP - Watch 4 the signs in the natural that I will both reveal and confirm the changes in the spirit realm that are about 2 take place. These changes will position u 4 what is in store 4 u in the next leg of your journey. U are about 2 embark on an adventure that will take u higher and result in closer relationship 2 Me, says the Lord. It will be a ride that u will never 4get; it will be both challenging and exhilarating. Get ready!

Psalms 84:5 - Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, Whose heart is set on pilgrimage.

09SEP - Exercise Your Rights -  Once u receive Jesus as Lord of your life, all the rights and privileges God originally intended u 2 have are restored.  Fellowship w/God, health and prosperity are restored.. but YOU are the one who has 2 exercise those rights!  The devil is an outlaw and even tho Jesus has taken away his authority in the earth, even tho he has no legal right 2 kill or steal from u, he will do it anyway... as long as u will let him get away w/it.  Resist the devil w/all u have got.  He will have 2 flee when u exercise your rights in the Name of Jesus!

Isaiah 53:5 - But He was wounded 4 our transgressions [wrongs/sins/mistakes],  He was bruised 4 our iniquities [sins pasted down 2 us by our former generations];  The chastisement [correction/love] 4 our peace was upon Him,  And by His stripes we 'were/are' healed.

10SEP - His Still Small Voice -  God has not given the sweet TENDER Holy Spirit 2 just a few special Christians.  He has given Him 2 u!  And if u will learn 2b sensitive 2 His Voice,  He will guide u into all Truth.  Start turning your ear 2 His still small voice "within u." Think about how different your life would be if u knew the truth of God about 'every' situation.  U can be on the keen edge of what God is saying as u honor and welcome His guidance into yoru everyday affairs.  Listen 4 His promptings and be quick 2 obey His Instructions He gives.  He is ready 2 speak 2 u now!

I John 2:27 - But the Anointing which u have received from Him abides in u, and u do not need that anyone teach u; but as the same Anointing teaches u concering all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught u, u will abide in Him.

Note: It is not hard 2 learn when God is speaking 2 u. At first u are not sure if it is your own voice or His. But so often times, we as human beings are 'comfortable' in calling ourselves names when we make a mistake or the 'negative talk' we speak 2 our own self about. There4, it comes easy when we can 'know' God's tender sweet Voice, it is at the times that GREAT encouragement, help, goodness, and ALL wonderful things come 2 our HEART. It 'seems' that it is in our MIND, but really it comes in our heart.

That is where God talks 2 us. One important thing that is relevant 2 mention is that the easiest time 2 'hear' the Holy Spirit is when we are CALM or Resting. When we are busy or we are stressed, we are unable 2 hear Him. But once we just decide 2 calm down and turn 2 Him 4 help, we are able 2 relax again.  Sometimes His voice comes from reading something in a favorite book or the Word of God captures your attention and it is as if something just 'jumps' out at u, or u have 2 re-read it 2 make sure u 'see' what u just read.

Many times God's voice comes from a friend or a voice we trust or are at peace with. God has many ways He can speak 2 us. My favorite is when He speaks 2 my heart, I can always tell when He is near me bcoz sweet tears begin 2 form or flow.. I am sure there are more ways we can learn the Voice of God, but in all of them, He waits until we are ready 2 receive. So that is another food-4-thought, we must be willing 2 receive from Him. Like when someone we do not know gives us a gift of which we are not sure about, we are reluctant...but the great feeling it brings makes us understand it came w/o price, just bcoz we are loved!

We must remember as a Father, Papa-God loves 2 spoil us with all types of Instructions, Gifts and Knowledge that will help us on our Journey called Life. With anything, it takes practice, so do not be hard on yourself and 'try' 2 hard 2 hear. God is so great, He repeats Himself if u missed it. He knows your heart.

11SEP - Do Not Be Disturbed - When u make God your stronghold in time of trouble, no one can    overcome u.  God is on your side and that gives u the advantage.  Set your affections on the LORD.  God's counsel will give u stability when all the world around u is shaking.  Evil tidings will not be able 2 steal your Peace.  The Thoughts of God will immediately rise up and rebuke the evil tidings from taking 'root' in your Heart.  If u are facing trouble today, do not be disturbed!  God's Counsel stands 4ever.

Psalms 33:10 - Many sorrows shall be 2 the wicked; But he who trusts in the LORD, mercy shall surround him.

12SEP - Arise My children 4 it is time 4 u 2 rise and shine in the kingdom of the Father. It is time 4 u 2b fully equipped. I have been teaching u, leading u, and guiding u. Now it is the time of application. It is time 4 u 2 apply that which u have learned. Begin 2 apply by faith My word 2 every circumstance. Learn 2 apply by faith the words that I give u so that they will become a light unto your path. Let your faith now arise and come higher. Begin 2 exercise that spiritual muscle that I have given 2 u.  Learn 2 walk by faith and believe w/a faith that is greater than u have ever exercised b4. Your faith will come by hearing and by hearing the word of the Lord and your faith will work thru the love of Jesus Christ. Allow faith 2 become the substance of the things that u hope 4.  Let is become the evidence of that which u cannot perceive or C. Allow it 2 become a witness 2 u that I am indeed w/u and I will bring u thru 2 victory as u walk w/Me in this season of Glory, says the Lord.


12SEP - Refuse 2 evaluate the details of your circumstances according 2 how u feel. I am doing a new thing, and that which u will be required 2 release is not a loss but is necessary and beneficial 2 u in the grand scheme of things. This is not a time of mourning, but a time of rejoicing at being established solidly on spiritual ground so that u will be able 2 progress rapidly from here, says the Lord. Lift up your head and set your heart on pilgrimage.  

Luke 21:28 - "Now when these things begin 2 happen, look up and lift up your heads, bcoz your redemption draws near."

12SEP - Change The Image - Look at the promises of God in the Word 'UNTIL' w/your 'inner' eyes--the eyes of your spirit--a PICTURES is formed.  It takes time 2 change an inner image. Remember, it is Faith that changes things and w/o the inner image of Hope, Faith cannot work.  Go 2 the Word of God today and begin 2 change the images inside u.  Change them from images of despair 2 images of Hope. Get a 'blueprint' in your Heart and your Faith will build on it!

Romans 8:24,25 - For we were saved in this Hope, but Hope that is seen is not Hope; 4 why does one still Hope 4 what he sees?  But if Hope 4 what we do not C, then we eagerly wait 4 it w/perseverance.

13SEP - I will cause u 2 C and understand the limitations of your responsibilities w/more clarity. This is so that u do not intrude or try 2 exercise your authority beyond the limits of your duty. It is My desire 4 u, My children, 2 assume your rightful place w/o causing confusion or overstepping your boundaries. U will have opportunities 2 determine those things that are yours 2 do and those things that are not. Walking in the Spirit will reveal your course of action in every situation, says the Lord. Be sensitive 2 My leading.

Joel 2:7 - They run like mighty men, they climb the wall like men of war; every one marches in formation, and they do not break ranks. They do not push one another; every one marches in his own column. Thou they lunge between the weapons, they are not cut down.

13Sep - Real Intercession - The Lord is looking 4 people who are bold enough, committed enough 2 go 2 prayer 4 others.  Real intercession is going 2 the Lord and going up against the devil on behalf of someone else.  The next time someone does u wrong, do not ask God 2 knock him in the head.  Consider the fact that God loves him enough 2 die 4 him/her and someone out there may be praying 4 his or her salvation.  so begin 2 pray 4 him/her instead of against that person, uniting your prayer w/whomever else may be praying on their behalf. The next time u are tempted 2 clobber somebody, dare 2 change his life instead!

Isaiah 59:16 - He saw that there was no man,  And wondered that there was no intercessor;  There4 His own arm brought salvation 4 Him;  And His own righteousness, it sustained Him.

14SEP - I want u, My people, 2 become first responders in the realm of the Spirit, so that your actions in response 2 the enemy's attacks are immediate and effective. Be aware that the longer u wait 2 resist and bind the powers of darkness, the more damage can be done. Your spiritual actions are vital 2 your freedom, says the Lord.
Luke 10:19 - Behold, I give u the authority 2 trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt u.

14Sep -  Take Correction - There is one thing u can do that will accelerate your spiritual growth more than almost any other thing: Learn 2 take correction from the Spirit of God and from His people.  Proverbs 1:7 says, "Only fools strike out at, or despise, correction."  When your pastor or anyone else in the Body of Christ has a word of correction 4 u, receive it gratefully.  Appreciate those who share the Wisdom of God w/u.  Make up your mind 2b Teachable and receive correction.  U will be able 2 grow in spiritual things more quickly! And bcoz God LOVES U, He keeps His eyes on u.

Proverbs 9:8,9 - "The Way of WISDOM" - Do not reprove a scoffer, lest he hate u;  Rebuke a wise man, and he will love u.  Give INSTRUCTION 2 a wise man [person], and he will be still wiser,  Teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.

15Sep - In a vision I saw the priests of God carrying the Ark of the Covenant 2 the edge of the Jordan River as when the waters rolled back so that the Israelites could walk across. I realized that the people did not all cross at the exact same moment. There were those who were first 2 arrive on the other side of the river and the procession continued until they all crossed. In the same way we, the body of Christ, are not all in the same place in our walk w/the Lord. We are all at different stages of growth and understanding.  And, the Lord said, "Some of u, My people, will move 2 a higher level in your spiritual warfare against the powers of darkness. Those who are ready will be more aware than ever of the works of the enemy. I will begin 2 give u the faith and strategy 2 wage a good warfare, overcome, and gain the victory over every attack. Be bold, and do not be afraid."

Jeremiah 12:5 - If u have run w/the footmen, and they have wearied u, then how can u contend w/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?

15Sep - How is Your Spiritual Maintenance? - Have u become so entangled w/the affairs of this life that u find yourself becoming a "maintenance man"?  It is possible 2 have 2 maintain so many natural things in your life that u do not have any TIME left 2 maintain your own spirit!  Natural things in your life can suffocate your spiritual life if u allow it.  When u find yourself in that situation, it is time 2 simplify your life.  Nothing is as important as spending TIME in Prayer and in the Word with your Heavenly Father-God!  So, if there is something u want in your life, ask yourself if u can spiritually 'afford' it!

Mark 4:19 - "..and the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires 4 other things entering in choke the Word, and it becomes Unfruitful...


16SEP - You, My people, will have 2 make a special effort 2 stay focused and not allow distractions 2 keep u from efficiency and effectiveness in the kingdom. There are any number of things that could take u off course or interrupt the flow of My Spirit in and thru u. Your concentration on your relationship w/Me is vital 2 your spiritual health, says the Lord. Rise above the issues of life and the cares of the world and trust Me 2 lead u in peace.

Proverbs 4:23 -  Keep your heart w/all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.

16Sep - Stand Up and Be Counted -  Start praying now about the coming elections.  Do not wait until  election time is here b4 u start seeking God 4 whom 2 vote.  U are commanded 2 pray 4 your country and leaders.  But having prayed, God expects u 2 'act.'  The elections in the United States are vital 2 the Future of this Nation.  Thank the Spirit of god 4 His Wisdom concerning 4 whom u vote.  Thank Him 4 giving u Wisdom 2 declare the Name of Jesus and declare that this shall be a God-indwelt, God-ordained, God-overseen administration.  So register.  Pray.  Vote.  Then stand up and be counted!

I Timothy 2:1-2 - You there4, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.  And the things that u have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these 2 faithful men who will be able 2 teach others also.

17Sep - Be Courageous - If u are going 2 fight the good fight of Faith 2 the finish, u will have 2 do just like Joshua did.  You will have 2 continually draw courage from the Word of God.  Living a life of Faith takes courage--courage 2 stand up in the face of sickness, 2 believe 4 prosperity when poverty is everywhere.  The battle of Faith is not fought only once.  If u want 2 keep living in Victory, u have 2 fight it again and again.  Bcoz Joshua obeyed the Lord and meditated on His Word day and night;  He found courage and was able 2 lead the Israelites into the Promised Land.  U 2 can be changed from a coward 2 an overcomer.  Be courageous!

Joshua 1:7-8 - "Only be strong and very courageous, that u may observe 2 do according 2 all the law which Moses My servant commanded u;  do not turn from it 2 the right hand or 2 the left, that u may prosper wherever u go.  "This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but u shall meditate in it day and night, that u may observe 2 do according 2 all that is written in it.  For THEN u will make your way PROSPEROUS, and THEN u will have Good Success.

 18Sep - Why Did God Create You? -  Dare 2 believe u are something really special today!  U are on-of-a-kind creation made by God in His very own Image.  U were made 2 have Fellowship w/God!  God made u so He could give His Love 2 u.  He does not want 2 dominate u.  He wants 2 Love u!  God wants 2 communicate w/u,  2 share His Heart w/u.  Dare 2 receive God's LOVE today, and dare 2 Love Him back!

I John 1:3 - ... that which we have seen and heard we declare 2 u, that u also may have fellowship w/us; and truly our fellowship is w/the Father and w/His Son Jesus Christ.

19SEP - Well, what are u waiting 4, My people? Have I not spoken 2 u? Have I not come 2 u? Have u not felt the stirring and the moving in the Spirit of the living God? Do u not understand that these are unique times, that these are great times? These times will bring forth the manifestation of My presence and My kingdom. There4, I say again, why do u wait? Rise up and take your position in the kingdom. Rise up w/your faith and reach out 2 receive. Rise up and write your destiny upon the spiritual fabric of your existence. Come forth in this hour. Do not wait any longer. The glory of My kingdom is being poured out in a greater dimension than u have ever witnessed, says the Lord God Almighty.

19SEP - Beloved, set your heart on expansion. I want 2 liberate u from the limitations of religious confinement. I would have u open your heart and mind 2 receive greater revelation of the kingdom. Release yourself from concepts that limit truth 2 worldly concerns and self-focus. It is My desire 4 u 2 begin 2 C the larger picture of My kingdom in terms of ultimate purpose and destiny, says the Lord. This will broaden your horizons.

1 Corinthians 15:50 - Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption.

19Sep - A Word About Angels - Angels are real!  If u are a believer, they are a vital part of your life.  U  have a right 2 expect angels 2 watch over u and protect u bcoz u belong 2 God!  Angels are at work today just as they have always been.  They have not retired.  They have been at work down thru the ages taking care of God's people.  Angels are not little fat babies w/long blonde hair and bows and arrows in their hands.  They are BIG, Strong Warriors!  God's promise 2 u is that your Heavenly Father has given u angel(s) 2 watch over u--so do not be afraid, stand fast!  U will be watched over and kept in all of your ways!

Psalms 91:11 -  For He shall give HIs Angels charge over u,  To keep u in all your ways.

20SEP - Move quickly thru the responsibilities of this time, 4 u are transitioning into a new Season and a different set of circumstances. Clean up and clear out things that are no longer significant or relevant 2 your spiritual growth and kingdom position. Deal w/distractions that keep u from complete concentration [FOCUS] on being yoked w/ME in kingdom work, says the Lord.

Matthew 11:30 - "For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."

20Sep - Time 2 Get Serious - When the devil launches a serious attack against your body, do not hesitate.  Get serious about the Word.  Put yourself under its constant care and it will take care of u.  There are times when u will have 2b downright extreme about the Word of God.  U may be facing a sickness so severe that u will need more than just a few moments in the Word and a quick prayer 2 receive your healing.  U have 2b serious about the Word if u are going 2 live in Divine Health!  Continually consider Jesus until THOUGHTS of Him push the thoughts of that sickness [problems/fears/worries] right out of your mind!

Psalms 63:1,6 -  "Joy in the Fellowship of God" -  O GOD, U are my God;  Early will I seek You;  My soul thirsts 4 You;  My flesh longs 4 You,  In a Dry and Thirsty land where there is no water.  When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches... Bcoz You have been my Help.

21SEP - I see your heart of perseverance even tho u have not seen the manifest reward in some things. But, I say 2 u, I am your Great Reward in all things. I honor your endurance and unwillingness 2 give up. I have not raised up a company of quitters. The company that I have established is one that is encouraged and strengthened regardless of what is seen in the natural realm, says the Lord.

2  Corinthians 5:7 - For we walk by faith [Faith is Confidence IN God], not by sight.

21Sep - Unity of Faith - It is time 2 walk in LOVE.  IT is time 2 walk in Unity of the Faith.  To be truly  powerful in the Kingdom of God and 2b a real threat 2 the devil, u have 2 walk in unity w/other members of the Body-of-Christ.  Refuse  fall prey 2 division and isolation.  U are not an island unto yourself.  U cannot do anything w/o affecting other members.  The Body of Christ is held together by God and one another.  The Body must grow up together unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.

Ephesians 4:11-14 - And He Himself gave some 2b Apostles, some Prophets, some Evangelists, and some Pastors and Teachers,  4 the equipping of the saints 4 the work of ministry, 4 the edifying of the Body of Christ,  til we all come 2 the Unity of the Faith and the Knowledge of the Song of God, 2 a perfect man,  2 the Measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;  that we should no longer be children, tossed 2 and from and carried about w/every wind of doctrine, by the Trickery of men in the cunning craftiness by which they lie in wait 2 deceive...



22SEP - Practice discernment and exercise your faith. Your awareness is like a muscle that can be developed w/use. Don't be afraid 2 activate your spiritual acuity in everyday situations and circumstances. This is a season when u can operate in spiritual gifts at a higher level than u ever thought possible. Prepare yourself by faith 2 hear My voice, 2 C visions, 2 dream dreams, and 2 have a heightened sense of your atmosphere and environment. Set yourself 2 receive all that I have made available t2 u, says the Lord. I AM w/u.
 

Acts 2:17-19a - And it shall come 2 pass in the last days, says God, that I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall C visions, your old men shall dream dreams. And on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy. I will show wonders in heaven above and signs in the earth beneath.

22Sep - A Little Every Day - There is no such thing  as an overnight success in the Kingdom of God.  Real strength and real growth come as u consistently and constantly keep the Word b4 your eyes, in your ears and in the midst of your heart.  Make up your mind 2 begin the daily process of constant growth today.  Determine 2 start putting the Word in your heart consistently.  A SEED planted in the ground does not spring up in full growth overnight.  It grows constantly, 24 hours a day.  Your faith can be bigger than u ever dreamed it could be as u meditate daily in the Word and act on it regardless of how u 'feel'!

Luke 13:18-19 - Then He said, "What is the Kingdom of God like?   And 2 what shall I compare it?  "It is like a mustard SEED, which a man took and put in his garden; and it grew and became a large tree, and the birds of the air nested in its branches."


23SEP - Trust Me in all things, and don't worry. Even when things are undone and seem chaotic, I AM w/u. I will lead u in the path of righteousness, and establish u on the road 2 destiny. When the world around you is inconsistent and unreliable, I am your place of stability. I will not leave u nor forsake u. I will remain faithful and perform My word, says the Lord.

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 to His purpose. 

23Sep - Rekindle The Fire - Have u grown lukewarm toward God and His Word?  Has the fire inside of u dwindled into a little flicker 4 the things of God?  There is an answer.  Rekindle the fire!  God's Word says 2 draw near 2 Him and He will draw near 2 u.  Delight yourself in His Word.  Whatever has been stealing your TIME away from His Word must be removed.  Become diligent again.  IF u will give your attention 2 the things of God, soon your desire 4 God will increase.  Pray in the Spirit again.  Believe and act on the Word.  That all-consuming fire can be yours again!

James 4:8 -  Draw near 2 God and He will draw near 2 u.  Cleanse your hands, u sinners: and purify your hearts, u double-minded.

24Sep - God's Will is Liberty [Freedom] It is time 2 take up where Jesus left off and set the captives free.  God wants people free!  If u could put the will of God into one word, it would be liberty-- liberty from sins and sickness, poverty, oppression, and every other 'curse.'  The Father's will is accomplished here on Earth thru u.  Jesus said  u would do His works and even greater!  He has given u the Holy Spirit 2 empower u  do His will.  So quit questioning the will of God and start carrying it out.  His will is liberty!

2 Corinthians 3:17 -
Now the LORD is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the LORD is, there is liberty.

25Sep - Move Closer Every Day - Right now, make a decision 2 give yourself 2 the  things of God.  Abiding in Jesus is not something that comes automatically.  It is a life-style that involves discipline and effort.  In this natural world, u are surrounded by ungodliness.  U live in a body that is totally natural.  Unless u purposely counter that w/daily prayer and time in the Word, your body and your Mr/Miss Mind will simply give in 2 the pressures around u and go the way of the world.  U have 2 choose 2 give yourself 2 God, 2 give Him First Place. Move closer 2 Him today.

John 15:5 - "I AM the Vine, u are the branches, He who abides in ME, and I in him, bears much fruit:  4 w/o ME u can do Nothing.



26SEP - I hear the Lord say, rise up My people. Weave 4 yourself new garments in this season, 4 the kingdom of God is at hand. The glory of that kingdom shall become a covering 2 u and 2 those w/whom u walk. So cast off the old, 4getting those things which are behind, run the race quickly 2 that which is ahead. Come into this newness of time and into this Season w/strength, Joy and Peace. Most of all come w/a glorious expectation of My goodness, My presence and My power. For, surely I AM the Lord your God who 4gives all of your iniquities, heals all of your diseases, and provides all those things necessary 4 u. So arise 2 a new position of faith today and call [name] those things, which are not as those they were. Retain your joy and I say again rejoice. For, I have not left u, I have not 4gotten u, or forsaken u. And, it is true that I will be w/u always 2 lead and 2 guide u; 2 empower u and 2 teach u the things that pertain 2 the kingdom of God. For such is the time and such is the season. Come forth, My beloved, and be what u have been called b, says the Lord.

26SEP - Ho, warriors of the morning! Rise up against the enemy's onslaught and give him no ground 2 create confusion or infirmity [disease]. Refuse 2b distracted by his tactics. Stay on track w/your faith 2 overcome. U have all the power and authority necessary 2 gain the victory. Be strong, says the Lord. I am w/u.

Joshua 1:9 - "Have I not commanded u? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, 4 the LORD your God is w/u wherever u go."

26Sep -Let Your New Man Out -When u made Jesus Christ Lord of your life, u became what the Bible calls a 'new creature."  Inside , u are not the same person u were b4 or who u were at the moment of ur nature birth on earth.  U now have the nature of God 'born' inside of u!  With the help of the Holy Spirit, u can let the new nature inside u take over the outside as well.  It will not happen automatically.  U have 2w make a decision 2 bring your body into obedience 2 the new man within u.  The Holy Spirit will give u the power 2 put sin out of your life and under your feet.  Then the new man/woman inside u will begin 2 come out!

Romans 12:1- I beeseech u therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that u present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable 2 God, which[] is your reasonable service.

27Sep - Spiritual Armor 4 Spiritual War- Are u blaming circumstances and people 4 the problems u are having?
     Do not waste your energy fighting natural conditions.  There are supernatural powers 2 go 2 war against! 
     Ephesians 6 says that it is not a battle of flesh and blood, but of the spirit.  Satan is the prince of the power of the air.  "The air" (the Heavens around this Earth which is the atmosphere surrounding this planet) is where wicked spirits operate.  Put on your spiritual Armor and wage war against the evil powers that 'try' 2 defeat u!

Ephesians 6:12 - For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the Heavenly places.

27SEP - There are things that u need 2 know b4 u can move forward, but don't push. Wait on Me, says the Lord, bcoz everything needs 2b in order and in perfect timing. Refuse 2 get frustrated when things aren't moving along as quickly as u would desire. Take a deep breath, rest in the assurance that I am in control, and trust Me. Everything will be all right.

Isaiah 40:31 - But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up w/wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.


28SEP - Now is the time 2 resolve old issues b4 u move into the new season. I speak of such things as unforgiveness and bitterness against yourself and others. Allowing these things 2 exist in a fresh spiritual environment of possibilities would only pollute and defile clean and pristine opportunities. Enter this time w/a clean heart. Examine yourself 2 C if u are in faith and ready 2 receive all that I have prepared 4 u, says the Lord.

Psalms 51:10 - Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

28Sep - No Burden - God knows what it takes 2 live in Victory in this present evil world.  His ways are not burdensome or oppressive.  Rejoice when He tells u something.  It is 4 your good!  The people of this world cannot tell u how 2 live Victoriously.  They do not know how.  But God does!  He can make things work, even in the middle of darkness; and if u will follow His INSTRUCTIONS, Commands, and Precepts from His Word, u will know how 2 live in Victory.  God's ways are NOT a burden 2 u. They are your Success and Victory!

I John 5:3 - For this is the Love of God, that we keep His commandments.  And His commandments are not burdensome.

29SEP - Prepare your heart 2 come boldly into My presence. Refuse 2 allow anything at all 2 come between us. Now is the time 2 clear the spiritual air so that u can stand righteously b4 Me, says the Lord, made clean by the blood of Christ. Accept giveness and get ready 2 express the excellence of My kingdom in your mortal existence. Be done w/all things that have held u in bondage, and be free.

Philippians 2:13 - for it is God who works in u both 2 will and 2 do 4 His good pleasure.

                                                                               JudeMcconkey Photography

29Sep - Dare 2 Decide - God has an inheritance 4 u, but He is not going 2 stuff it down your throat.  he has given u a Truth from His Word that will revolutionize your life if u will pay attention 2 it.  God has given u the right, the priviledge and the power 2 DECIDE.  He has provided the power, His Name, the blood of Jesus and His Kingdom, but u have 2 decide 2 receive it.  If u make a decision 4 God, He will back u 2 the hilt w/His power!  There is no devil in hell big enough 2 stop u.  Do not let fear hold u back.  Make a quality decision 2 go 4 God.  It is your choice!

Exodus 8:10 - So he said, "TOMORROW."  And he said, "Let it be according  your word, that u may know that there is no one like the LORD our God.

Proverbs 4:20 - My son/daughter, give attention 2 My Words; Incline your ear 2 My sayings.




30SEP - I was reminded of Psalms 84:5 -  Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, whose heart is set on pilgrimage. And, I heard the Lord say: Take 2 the highway, the narrow road that leads 2 salvation. Refuse 2 sit down and become stagnant in your current spiritual condition. Challenge yourself 2 press on in the way of progression and mount up 2 greater heights in the realm of the Spirit. Set your heart on pilgrimage. The way of the lazy man is like a hedge of thorns, but the way of the upright is a highway. (Proverbs 15:19)

30Sep - Compassion in Action - Jesus has sent u 2 reach out and touch a love-starved world w/His compassion.  That is the one thing people need more than anything else in the world.  They need someome 2 reach out 2 them w/the compassion of God!  Let God activate the compassion within u by spending time w/Him.  U will begin 2 feel what God feels about the suffering of mankind.  Follow Jesus' example.  He met man's need by the power of God bcoz He was moved w/compassion 4 them.  Stir up the compassion within u until the desire 2 C others set free becomes paramount in your thinking.  U can be His compassion in action!

Matthew 9:36 - But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved w/compassion 4 them, bcoz they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd.

AUGUST Encouragement

Introduction
========= Summer may be difficult for some of us, but God's Arms are always WIDE when it comes 2 carrying us thru those most difficult days. 
   May this month's encouragement touch, heal and inspire open hearts that are willing 2 learn 2 receive His miracles.. Papa God's Open Arms are waiting 4 you, especially when you hurt. Be blessed this month!

01Aug - Rise up today from the dead ashes of religion and religious concepts and precepts that bring failure after failure upon your life. Rise up into a new Hope, into a new place where u have understanding of who I Am. I Am God who is 4 u and w/u. I empower u and carry u 2 victory. I Am 4 u, My dear children, and u must understand that the enemy cannot win. Understand that his weapons are useless against u. So, I say, activate your faith and dare 2 believe that all things are possible 2 the those who believe. Dare 2 believe that I am 4 u. Dare 2 believe that I Am w/u. Dare 2 believe that I Am empowering u so that u can live the victorious life, says the Lord.

01Aug - Can u C? Can u discern? The pressure that has come thru the events of your life are 4 the purpose of making changes that will equip u 4 the next leg of your journey. U have come 2 a high place in the spirit that requires greater wisdom and greater freedom from the works of the flesh. There is a mighty work 2b done, but 2 fight against this leading or ignore it altogether will cause certain stagnation. Yield 2 My pressure, says the Lord.

Romans 6:16 - Do you not know that 2 whom u present yourselves slaves 2 obey, u are that one's slaves whom u obey, whether of sin leading 2 death, or of obedience leading 2 righteousness?

01Aug - Receive Your Miracle - When u made Jesus the Lord of your life, u believed, confessed and received the greatest miracle in the Universe: the miracle of a Reborn spirit!  Every answer u need from God will come in exactly the same way.  If u do not have enough faith yet 2 believe 4 the miracle u need, then get it.  "Faith cometh by hearing and hearing [listening], by the Word of God."  So start filling the ears of your Heart w/The Word until faith 4 your miracle is full grown.  Believe, confess and receive your miracle today. Remember it is yours 'today' not when it arrives!    

Romans 10:10 -  For w/the Heart one believes 2 righteousness , and w/the mouth confession is made 2 salvation.

02Aug - Watch 4 the temptation 2b discontent, 4 this will lead 2 negative attitudes that will seduce u away from My blessings 4 u. Be strong and choose 2b thankful 4 all that I have given u and all that I have given u 2 do. Thankfulness will create a spiritual atmosphere that attracts goodness. Be diligent 2 maintain a positive outlook, says the Lord, 4 it will benefit u greatly. 

1 Timothy 6:6 - Now godliness with contentment is great gain.

03Aug - You will have opportunities in the days ahead 2 solve both short-term and long-standing problems. If u will set your heart 2 know the solution, I will give u the wisdom necessary 4 breakthrough. But, u must seek Me and believe that I will help u. As u know, double-mindedness gets u nothing. Your singleness of mind and faith will give u the answers u need, the progress u desire and the breakthru you've longed 4, says the Lord. 

James 1:5-8 - If any of u lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives 2 all liberally and w/o reproach, and it will be given 2 him. But let him ask in faith, w/no doubting, 4 he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

04Aug - Beloved, u are yoked together w/Me 2 do all that is necessary 2 build the spiritual kingdom of Christ. That means that I work w/u 2 accomplish what is set b4 u. U are not alone; I am w/u. By the same token, I will not do the work w/o your participation. This is a joint effort when u do your part, and I do mine. I do not expect u 2 do My work, so u must not expect me 2 do what is in your power 2 do. Set your will 2 use your authority and 2 take responsibility, but also 2 accept My help, guidance and wisdom, says the Lord.    buckscountryframes                    

Matthew 11:30  -"For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."

05Aug - Strive 2 enter into My presence. Take the time and make the effort 2 connect. I am here, but u must come and worship in spirit and in truth. The issues of life and stress have taken their toll, so come and be refreshed and renewed. I await our communion. Come 2 Me and let us have sweet fellowship together, says the Lord.
Acts 3:19 - "Repent there4 and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord."

08AUG - Rise up My people. Walk the path that is set b4 u. For, indeed, in these days I will reveal 2 u the path that leads 2 life, prosperity, health, provision and 2 freedom. For, I am the Lord of Hosts, and I shine My light upon that which is being prepared 4 u. I enable u 2 walk so that u may experience the goodness of the kingdom of the living God.  U are My chosen generation; holy priests, true worshippers, the guiding light that this world needs 2 C. So, rise up and shake off the dust of the world. Shake off that which has brought failure and discouragement 2 u. Rise up as the child of God and say, "I will walk this new path. I will walk on this path in the goodness of your glory. In Jesus name, let it be so."

Psalms 46:10 - Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!
08AUG - I call u today 2 set your sights on higher spiritual ground. No matter where u are in your circumstances, now is the time 2 come higher in your dedication 2 Me. The condition of the earth and the chaos of people and nations demand a greater level of commitment in order 4 tribulation 2 produce victory. Your total submission 2 Me is critical at this juncture, says the Lord. Arise 2 new heights. Isaiah 60:1 Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon u.
  
09AUG - Make time 4 Me in your busy schedule. Your ability 2 stay connected spiritually will produce peace and good fruit in the face of overwhelming circumstances. Remember that u don't have 2 accomplish enormous challenges all at once; u are well able 2 do one thing at a time, moment by moment and still succeed. Refuse 2 allow stress and pressure 2 steal your peace and joy, says the Lord.


Isaiah 26:12 - LORD, U will establish peace 4 us, 4 U have also done all our works in us.

10AUG - These are days when having your priorities in order is vital to success in any endeavor, but b4 u can establish good priorities u must establish your value system according 2 kingdom purpose and the word of truth. If what u value is according 2 worldly standards, u will not bear everlasting fruit. Beloved, it would be 2 your benefit 2 define your values in terms of eternity and not your temporary existence in the world. Now is the time when u can make adjustments, says the Lord.

Matthew 6:24 -"No one can serve two masters; 4 either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal 2 the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon [money]."

11AUG - Arise from spiritual slumber and seek 2 walk in the light of My revelation and wisdom. Walk in the understanding that I give u. I speak 2 those who have been distracted and compromised and those who are not living on the cutting edge of kingdom purpose. Begin now 2 make up 4 lost time by making a new commitment 2 focus on that which really matters, says the Lord.


Ephesians 5:14-18 - There4 He says: "Awake, u who sleep, arise from the dead, and Christ will give u light." See then that u walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. There4 do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not be drunk w/wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled w/the Spirit.



12AUG - As much as u try 2 keep all of your ducks in a row, so 2 speak, u still feel out of sync. This is bcoz u are sensing the turmoil in the spirit. There is a clamoring 4 position in the unseen realm as powers of darkness station themselves 2 take advantage of opportunities 2 rule in the political arena on earth. The spiritual atmosphere is one of chaos and confusion at this time, but u can find your peace in My presence as u trust in My guidance and protection, says the Lord. Be still and draw near 2 Me.




15AUG - Go forth w/great joy, My people, 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. It is My will that My people live in the glory that I bring, and out of that glory will come the supernatural manifestation which u have desired, and that reality will establish u in a greater measure of faith than ever b4. I am calling u 2 arise and come forth into kingdom purpose, says the Lord God Almighty.

15AUG - You are on a fast track of preparation 2b equipped and positioned 2 take the next step in your progression2 kingdom destiny. I will take u every step of the way, but whether the journey is easy or hard depends on your willingness and obedience. The more completely submitted your heart is 2 Me, the easier it will be 2 flow w/My Spirit, says the Lord. I will give u wisdom along the way, and I will make the path clear. Trust Me and let Me lead.


Psalms 31:3 - For You are my rock and my fortress; there4, 4 Your name's sake, lead me and guide me.

15AUG - Evidence of A Miracle -  Remember that it is faith, not appearances, that makes miracles happen.  Sometimes a miracle can be short-circuited by trying 2C it in progress.  If there is not an immediate, outward change in people u pray 4, don't withdraw your faith and assume nothing happened.  The facial expressions of people u pray 4 or preach 2 can sway your faith.  Make a decision now 2 never be moved by those outward signs.  The next time u are tempted 2 evaluate what God is doing by the looks of things, don't do it!  Moving in faith is the only real evidence of a miracle!  

Hebrews 11:1 - Now [always present tense] Faith is the substance of 'things' Hoped 4, the evidence of 'things' not [yet] seen.

16AUG - It is of utmost importance that u understand that your authority in any given situation is the direct result of carrying out your responsibilities. If u are reluctant 2 take responsibility 4 your motives, actions and attitudes, your ability 2 progress will be greatly inhibited. Don't forget that u reap what u sow; it is an immutable spiritual law. Now is the time 2 make adjustments where necessary so that u will reap a good harvest, says the Lord.


Galatians 6:7 - Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; 4 whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

16AUG - A Firm Foundation - Commit 2 living the life of Love today.  It is a firm foundation u can build your life, your family and your ministry upon!  Love sums up all Jesus said 4 us 2 do.  If u will build your life on it, even the most violent storms of this world will be unable 2 shake u.  It will make u solid in every area of your life.  U can win your family w/the Love of God.  And if u will build your business on Love, u will prosper beyond your wildest dreams.  When the storms of life begin 2 blow--at home, at work, or in any situation--u can enjoy the solid security of Love.  Love never fails!

John 15:17 - "These things I command u, that u Love one another", Jesus said.




17AUG - I have given u a brief glimpse or an inkling of what lies ahead, but it would be a big mistake 4 u 2 act on any part of what u know bcoz u are far from having the complete picture. The things that I have shown u are 4 the purpose of establishing u in greater peace so that u can take things as they come in stride w/o overreacting either positively or negatively. U must live day by day in spiritual reality and present truth. Stay current, says the Lord, and trust Me 2 direct your every step. 

Proverbs 16:9 - A man's heart plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps.

17AUG - Give God a Way In - Have u opened the door and given God a legal right 2 intervene in your financial affairs, 2 bless u richly, and 2 defend u against the destruction the devil brings?  When u Tithe, u open the door 4 God 2 come into your finances!  Do not wait until your back is against the wall 2 start Tithing.  Learn 2 act on the Word now so that when satan tries 2 put u in a financial corner, he will fail.  When u have established yourself on the Covenant of God, satan's power over u is broken.  U can be sure the pressures will come, but u can also be protected by the Special Privileges that are Guaranteed 2 those who Tithe.


Malachi 3: 8-12 'Do Not Rob the Living God -
08: "Will a man rob God? Yet u have robbed Me! But u say, 'In what way have we robbed You!'   In Tithes 'and' Offerings.

09:  U are cursed w/a curse, For u have robbed Me, Even this whole nation.

10:  [Our Part]:  Bring all the Tithes into the Storehouse. That there may be Food in My House, And prove Me now in this, " Says the Lord of Hosts [A Military Title],   [God's Part]: "If I will not open 4 u the windows of Heaven [1], And pour out 4 u such blessings that there will not be room enough 2 receive it [2].


11:  "And I will rebuke the devourer 4 your sakes [3].  So that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground [4], Nor shall the vine fail 2 bear fruit 4 u in the field [5]," Says the Lord of Hosts;


12:  "And all nations will call U blessed, For u will be a delightful land [6]," Says the Lord of Hosts. 


Note: Our part in obedience is so small [1 Part], in comparison 2 all the [6 Parts] God has 'Promised' 2 do 4 us! His part is far greater in doing 4 us than us doing 4 Him, but with every relationship, there must be 2 sides of the relationship, even so...even our Tiny part He is requesting of us, IS FOR OUR GOOD. Our part is 2 give Him 'permission' 2 bless us, bcoz God is a gentleman, He does not barge in and force us, even w/His own blessings, no, He waits 2C our obedience and then He quickly does His part He has already had prepared 4 us. It is so easy 2 just give something 2 someone, but how much more precious when God not only cares 4 us, but 'shows' us how 2 'remain' in His blessings.

Like a Loving Father, He is teaching His Children how 2 live good lives, He never takes credit 4 His part, but waits 4 us 2 learn His loving and kind blessings toward His creation. When we realize how small our part is and that in itself is 4 us also, we should desire 2 love Him more.

Have u ever done something kind 4 someone? Do u remember the 'good' feeling u felt? It is like this and deeper when we obey such simple basic laws set up 4 our good. Whatever we need from God, that is what we need 2 plant. Today if u need more money, plant a money SEED in someone's life, give from what u have, dont make it hard, just give a 'portion' from what u have on hand; If u need food, than u know what 2 plant, plant a food SEED into someone that has less 2 eat than u today;..whatever u need God 2b 4 u, give that 2 someone else and then watch and C how the blessing will come back 2 u. Be thankful u are not left alone, but have a Loving Father in Heaven who has prepared wonderful things 4 your life.

18AUG - There is nothing u cannot do as long as u walk in the Spirit. Walking in the Spirit of God means whatever u do, u do it from Love.. In order 2 accomplish what is set b4 u it is imperative that u follow My leading instead of trying 2 fulfill the lusts of your flesh. If u will do this, there is no power of darkness 2 big 2 overcome and nothing 2 daunting that u cannot gain the victory over. Put your faith, hope and trust in Me, says the Lord, and u will not be disappointed.

Philippians 4:13 - I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

18AUG - Get Out From Under - As a victorious child of God, u do not have any business living your life 'under' your circumstances.  Do not let problems and situations rule over u.  Jesus lives within u!       DandelionStudio
Over 2,000 years ago, Jesus defeated satan's kindgom.  Thru His death, Jesus striped satan of everything.  He took the Keys 2 Death and Hell.  He bound the strong man, spoiled principalies and powers, and made a show of them openly.  Bcoz Jesus lives in YOU, u have overcome.  U have the victory so u neve have 2 live 'under' your circumstances again!

IJohn 4:4-7 - U are of God, little children, and have overcome them, bcoz He who is in u is greater than he who is in the world.  They are of the world.  There4 they speak as of the world, and the world hears them.  We are of God.  He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us.  By this we know the Spirit of Truth and the Spirit of Error.  Beloved, let us love one another, 4 Love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.  he who does not love does not know God, 4 God is LOVE.

19AUG - Beloved, in your point of desperation, hold on 2 your faith and seek My face. I am not far from u, and I know the details of your struggle. My ears are not dull of hearing, nor is My arm 2 short 2 bring deliverance. U are My own special treasure, and I am vitally interested in every phase of your existence. It is My will 4 u 2 overcome and succeed, says the Lord. Trust Me 2 help u in your times of need.

Psalms 46:1 - God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.


19AUG - See Yourself Risen With Jesus -  When pressures come, when troubles and trials are bearing down on u, remember Jesus Christ is risen from the dead!  This is the Key 2 holding onto the blessings of God!  Satan hates that image of Jesus rising from the dead.  Satan was stripped 4ever of his authority then.  All of Heaven and hell saw him defeated.  Keep that picture in the forefront of your mind and etched in your heart so deeply that satan can never talk u out of your victory.  No trial or tribulation, nothing satan sends your way, can cause u 2 fall when u C yourself risen w/Jesus, the Antointed and Victorious Conqueror!

 2Timothy 2:8 - Remember that Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, was raised from the dead according 2 my gospel.. 




20AUG - When Someone Does U Wrong - Do u want 2 know how 2 put the power of God 2 work 4 u the next time somebody does u wrong?  Crying out 4 vengeance of God 2 strike like a lightening bolt is not acting like your Heavenly Papa.  God has great, great mercy 4 u--and them!  Step one: Identify your enemy.  The person who hurt u is not the enemy.  It is the devil behind it all.  Step two: Once u have gotten your spiritual guns pointed in the right direction, fire!  Bind the devil from doing u harm by hitting him hard w/the Word.  Step three:  Forgive and pray the prayer of intercession and love 2 bless those that have hurt u.


Luke 10:19 - "Behold, I give u the Authority 2 trample on serpents and scorpions, and over ALL the power of the enemy, and NOTHING shall by any means hurt u...

21AUG - Hell Cannot Put Out the Light - When the circumstances around u begin 2 get black and u are tempted 2 despair, think about Jesus.  He is the Light of the World and He lives inside of u.  The devil's darkness is no match 4 u even when u are at your weakest and u might feel like the light inside of u is small.  All the forces of hell cannot put that light out within u, no matter what!  When that revelation hits u, u will never let the darkness back u into a corner again.  You will overcome it w/the Light!

John 1:4,5 - And these things we write 2 u that your Joy may be full.  This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare 2 u, that God is Light and in HIM is no darkness at all. Be encouraged!

22AUG - 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.

22AUG - U are My chosen people, and I have always directed your steps. But, in these days I will give direction in ways that cannot be disputed. I will show u by example and thru indisputable signs when 2 stop, when 2 go, and when 2 change direction so that there is no way 4 u 2 misunderstand My leading, says the Lord. Pay attention, so that u don't miss My signals [Clues].  

Daniel 4:3 - How great are His signs, and how mighty His wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and His dominion is from generation 2 generation.

22AUG - NO consolation Prize - Patience is the ability 2 stand fast on the Word of God even when your Victory seems slow in coming.   Patience and faith go hand in hand, but neither one will go 2 work 4 u w/o your help.  When the devil sends trying circumstances your way, do not just lie down and let him run over u.  Let patience have her perfect work.  If u will remain consistently constant, trusting in and relying confidently on the Word of God, u will end up perfect and entire, wanting nothing!  It is no consolation prize.  Patience is a powerful force that will put the promises of God in reach!




James1:4 - But let patience have its perfect work, that u may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

23AUG - I hear the Lord saying that there are some of u that need 2 cleanse your dwelling place. U need 2 sanctify it again even as they sanctified the temple in the days of old. Cleanse the spiritual atmosphere. Anoint the windows and the doors and forbid satan's intrusion. For many of u works of darkness have been designed against u, which have allowed their access. So, I say, establish again your sanctuary, your place of protection by the anointing that breaks the yoke of that which satan has desired 2 send. Break curses, cast them down, and remove every evil presence from your establishment by the anointing oil and your faith in Christ Jesus. Sanctify the people, the house and even your car, if necessary--whatever God leads u 2 do. This announcement doesn't make satan very happy, bcoz he's been found out. If u have been having trouble, things have been going wrong and breaking down, then it is time 2 clean up.

23AUG - Leaving the Low Life Behind - The hight life--or the low life?  God's kind of life...or the world's kind of life?  U cannot have them both.  U have 2 choose.  When u take God at His Word and trust Him 2 take care of u, u will be living the High Life.  Your roots will go down so deep that no drought can dry u up and no storm can blow u down.  No matter what  happens in the world around, u will prosper.  Depression or inflation will not be able 2 break u.  U will just  keep thriving and bearing fruit.  The world has nothing 2 offer u that can compare 2 those Promises.  Leave the low life behind!

Matthew 16:25 - "For  whoever desires 2 save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life 4 My sake will find it.



23AUG - I speak 2 those who still have unfulfilled desires, and I tell u that as long as fantasy, lust and seduction are the operative forces in your life, u will be led by your own flesh rather than by My Spirit, says the Lord. Begin again by the cleansing of the foundation of your desires. Change your mind, and make Me your entire desire and your single focus. Then, I will be able 2 lead u 2 a higher spiritual place.  

Psalms 61:2 - From the end of the earth I will cry 2You, When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

24AUG - I'm calling u, My people, 2 remove the garbage and take out the trash. But, I am speaking 2 u spiritually that u must consider and remove whatever has been an offense 2 your spirit and caused defilement of your spiritual environment. Look 4 attitudes and motivations that are not pleasing in My sight, says the Lord, and make adjustments where necessary. I will guide u in this process, 4 it is My desire 2 lead u 2 complete freedom from bitterness and ungodliness. I am speaking 2 u, beloved. Don't ignore your responsibility 2 look at yourself and not others in this regard. 

Ephesians 4:17-24 - This I say, there4, and testify in the Lord, that u should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, bcoz of the ignorance that is in them, bcoz of the blindness of their heart; who, being past feeling, have given themselves over 2 lewdness, 2 work all uncleanness w/greediness. But u have not so learned Christ, if indeed u have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: that u put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according 2 the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that u put on the new man which was created according 2 God, in true righteousness and holiness.

24AUG - Tradition -- A Killer! - There is a deadly killer on the loose in the Church today!  It is far more deadly than cancer or heart disease.  It is called tradition!  Tradition is a robber.  It has the power 2 steal God's Promises from u.  Tradition says it is not always God's will 2 heal u.  If u believe that, then u cannot pray IN faith believing u Receive.  Faith is the SEED of healing.  If u do not plant it, it will not grow.  Tradition says healing has passed away.  God said, "I AM the Lord that Healeth thee."  He never changed!  Tradition says God gets glory out of sickness.  No No No!!!!  God gets glory from your healing!!  Do not be killed by tradition! 



Matthew 15:6 - ..'is released from honoring his father or mother.' "Thus u have  made the commandment of God of no effect by your tradition.

25AUG - Clarity is the order of the day. I am releasing u 2 a higher level of spiritual acuity bcoz u are ready 2C more clearly your own heart and discern from that place of awareness. Old positions of dullness will become a thing of the past as your eyes are opened 2C and accept the pure truth w/o condemnation. As the days of justifying ungodly attitudes and behavior end, the days of clarity begin. I am calling u 2 a greater manifestation of purity and holiness, says the Lord.

Matthew 5:8 - Blessed are the pure in heart, 4 they shall C God.

25AUg - Choose Friends Wisely - If u want 2 walk in the things of the Lord, do not choose friends who walk in the things of the devil, who do not give God any place in their lives.  The company u keep has a great influence on your spiritual life.  Fellowship w/godly people will help speed u on 2 Victory.  Evil companions will corrupt u.  Godly friends are repulsed by sin and will help u not fall into temptations.  Choose your friends wisely.  Fellowship w/those who call on the name of the Lord out of a pure heart.  Their Love, Peace and Faith will rub off on u!       Also remember that what we watch on TV, read in magazines or books, or allow also is determining which company we keep.

ICorinthians 5:9 -I wrote 2 u in my epistle not 2 keep company w/sexually immoral people within the Brethren who call themselves a brother. 

26AUG - The tools necessary 2 defeat every work of darkness and 2 overcome the works of the flesh have been made available 2 u. Don't forget that u can access by faith the grace 2 overcome and gain the victory.

Be strong and maintain spiritual integrity and courage. Victory is assured!

Romans 5:2  - thru whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.    Returning Home

26AUG - Take the First Step - God wants 2 change your life one step at a time as u obey even His smallest INSTRUCTIONS [commandments].  He has given His Spirit 2 guide u everyday.  Do not make the mistake of waiting around 4 that one big revelation.  God does not  always work that way.  To hear God, u will have 2 set aside your own ambitions and desires.  Spend TIME in prayer and in the Word.  Tune your EAR 2 the Voice of His Spirit.  U may not know where He is leading, but u will begin changing one step-at-a-time.  Trust God.  He is smarter than u are.  Just take that first step in obedience and trust--and then take the next one!

Psalms 37:23 -  The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord.  And He delights in his way.

28Aug - Watch out 4 the temptation 2 take control where u have no responsibility or authority.  Situations will arise that are startling n have the potential of throwing u into a tailspin, but u must not react w/plans of your own 2 find solutions or change things so that u will be more comfortable.  U must settle in your heart the fact that things will happen that are beyond your ability 2 fix.  That is when u can ask Me 2 give wisdom n direction beyond your finite understanding, says the Lord.  Trust Me!

James 1:5 If any of u lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives 2 all liberally n w/o reproach, n it will be given 2 him.

29AUG - I hear the Lord saying receive your victory today. Do not wait 4 it 2 come when necessary, but receive your victory this moment. Reach out by faith & allow Me 2 bring the victory that is b4 u that can be yours this day w/o the waiting. And when this victory comes 2 your heart there will come the sound of rejoicing within. Your faith will cause your spirit man 2 rejoice, even b4 that which u need comes. So, I encourage u 2 receive by faith the victory that u require this moment. Then just walk by faith, believe & receive by faith, says the Most High.

29AUG - You are living in times when it is of utmost importance 4 u 2 discern between truth and error; between My will and seduction from the enemy. Time is short, and u must stay the course and not be taken off track. Be alert and let My Spirit lead u. Otherwise, u will be led by your own desires and imaginations, says the Lord.

Romans 13:12 -The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.

30AUG - Make no mistake; I C every detail of your life. You can run, but u can't hide. Be sensitive 2 the conviction of My Spirit 2 bring correction.  U can choose 2 either repent (turn from) all that is unholy and ungodly in your life, or you can carry on w/rebellion and disobedience 2 My word, says the Lord. The choice is yours and so is the harvest. U will reap either the fruit of righteousness or of unrighteousness. Take advantage of this opportunity 2 adjust the course of your life.

Hebrews 12:11 - Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

Promise on the Horizon
31AUG - Be alert 2 situations and issues that will serve as a platform from which 2 deal w/old mindsets that will not serve u well in your current journey 2 higher spiritual ground. Make a review of the things that I punctuate in your current environment, but do so w/o allowing rejection or condemnation 2 cloud your vision. The enemy will do whatever he can 2 keep u from looking at things objectively and w/clarity. But if u will C this time as being necessary 4 instruction leading 2 greater understanding instead of a personal attack against who u are, it will serve as a springboard 2 the next phase of your journey. Otherwise, it could just become a trap, says the Lord.

Mark 8:25 -Then He put His hands on his eyes again and made him look up. And he was restored and saw everyone clearly.

31AUG - Put Your Spirit in Charge - Are u doomed 2 live a life of failure till Jesus comes and the fleshy body is glorified.  Take heart!  Your spirit is more powerful than your flesh.  Build up your spirit, strengthen it until it dominates your flesh.  Praying in the Spirit applies spirit 2 flesh.  It causes your spirit 2 rise up and take charge.  God knows your weakness and has given u a way 2 overcome.  He has given u the ability 2 pray in tongues and w/your understanding also 2 wield the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God.  Let the Holy Spirit teach your spirit 2b in charge and the devil will have no foothold in your flesh!

Romans 8:26 - Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses.  For we do not know what we should pray 4 as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession 4 us w/groanings which cannot be uttered.

Be blessed!
