DAILY PORTION-THAT PLACE OF REJOICING




And Blessed (happy, to be envied) is she who Believed that there Would Be A Fulfillment of the things that were spoken to her From the Lord.
And Mary said, My soul Magnifies and Extols the Lord,

DAILY PORTION--THAT PLACE OF PURPOSE


And He said to them, "The harvest indeed is abundant [there is much ripe grain], but the farmhands are few. Pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest field!"  (Luke 10 amp)

John 4:34-38


That place, where I desire deeper clarity and I am pulled deeper into His purpose for me.

I have gotten to a place where I am content in knowing that no matter where I am or what I am doing, I am to prepare the Way of my Lord, to make Straight His Path.
 This is the charge to all who desire to Walk with Him daily, for all who claim to Love and adore Him, for all who are Kingdom minded and about our Father's Business.
How can He come through us into the lives of others unless we do our part?
We are to live His Teachings, not just memorize them and spit them back at others I believe is what He meant. How we Live Speaks Volumes about who we Really are.

The daily work of "making the way straight" can be done with or without words, it can be done with one or more, but this Work must always be done.
 Daily focusing on His purpose, (our minds are made up), we reach a place where doing this Work is like breathing, we don't think about doing it, we just do.
When our part is done we then leave to Him to decide When He will pass along the Way made for Him. 
We may not be there to witness this, or we might be. We pray for the places we have sown His seeds, and we move on to the next place He leads us to.
What this means is that, we can't force people to begin to accept His changes until they want to do so.
When His spirit leads us to speak about Him, or to show actions of love, compassion, kindness, forgiveness, etc...  making the Way straight for Him, sowing seeds of good in hearts, that is all we are to do.


 We should not verbally push on and pound people, wondering what is taking them so long to "get there". We should pray the Lord bless the soil (heart) so that it will not kill the seed, but will allow it to grow.
I have never heard of a farmer who planted the seeds and then sat on the ground watching and waiting for them to take root and grow through the soil.  Nor does the farmer dig the seeds up to see if they are still there. That disturbs the process that is required for the seed to germinate, begin to grow roots and to become established.

That place where He reminds us, that we some times, many times do a work that is silent, a work of preparation that is not seen, known about nor applauded by others. It's not for our glory, the glory belongs to God.

This work is directed by His Spirit, we are shown who He seeks to draw near to Him.
 He points them out, we don't have to randomly go up to any and every body "we think" needs to know and hear about Him. Doing this, will likely push people away.
 He knows His lost and when we completely allow Him to guide us, He will direct us to them, And He will also direct us concerning what needs to be said to these of His.  

Remember, we are to Prepare The Way for His Work, not ours.

He sends us forth with seeds to sow, with feet wrapped in His Gospel of Peace. Following Him we sometimes will go through valleys, over mountains, through water and mire to get to these who He seeks. The more we follow Him helping to do His Work, the more we strengthen our relationship with Him, the more we learn about who we really are, the more we understand His teachings and His mission.  The more we are changed into His Love. The closer we are drawn to God.

In Zechariah 4:6 the Lord says... ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the LORD Almighty!

None of us can Give what we Don't have, but What we do have in our hearts is what we give.
If we fix our mouths say one thing because it sounds right and allows us to appear to be of like minds with the others, but in our heart we believe a different thing and with our actions we back up our hearts,  then we are not in agreement with ourselves. We are divided against ourselves.

A house divided cannot and will not stand because it has a bad foundation. We each are a home for God. If the room of our mind is not in agreement with the room of our heart and the room of our spirit and the room of our soul has it's own direction, then we are divided against ourselves, and will not stand. We don't have a proper foundation.
 

ahhhh,
That place where and when It Clicks, and we understand that the preparation of the Way of our Lord that must be Done First is within our own Hearts,  before we can prepare the Way for Him to come into the hearts of others.

DAILY PORTION--THAT PLACE BEFORE THE SUN RISES


*that place where & when i seek Him and the Lord draws me near to Him.*                               
i cherish these early morning times, my Lord wakes me up before the sun begins to rise, before my family begins to rise, before the human noises begin to fill the air with their  distracting vibrating sounds that seek to trap as many as possible.
.
these early, quiet times  are all mine to enjoy the abundant and complete spiritual riches that the quiet always has to offer
early within the sound of quiet, when i can sow into my relationship with my Lord.

that place where i am
pulled further away from what my natural eyes see, what my natural ears hear, away from my small thinking, away from all the limited ways.

that place where i quiet myself so i can hear, so i can grow deeper in His purpose for me, so i can be prepared.

*seek Me Early, says the Lord* (Proverbs 8:17 amp) **He Who supplies seed to the sower* (2 Cor 9:10-15 amp)


that place where He leads me ahead of others, to reveal to me what is ahead.
that place
where sometimes i am simply to watch and wait, 

that place where i can hear who to pray for, who to praise through, to hear what i need to allow Him to correct and realign, what i need to know that i don't know.
that place
where i am told what the quiet of His presence has to tell me, so that i am prepared for today's journey and work.

that place where i am divinely encouraged and inspired.

the quiet of the early provides to me a place where i can reflect on where i was, and how far my Lord has brought me.

*my spirit is humbled and grateful. i am full of appreciation and i worship my Lord.*

i can focus on what i need to be doing for this day, making sure i receive my daily portion of Divine guidance so that i accomplish everything He needs me to do today.

*You, my Lord God put shoes on my feet, You have Ordered my steps, i follow You*
(Psalm 37:23; Psalm 32:8 amp)

i can pour out any thoughts, emotions and lack, that can be used to hinder me in my journey for today. acknowledging, sowing them all as seeds unto Him, point blank speaking out the truth,  that they creep into my thoughts, and try to gain power over my heart.
i know i can simply let my Lord know, straight forward, no fancy words necessary = "Lord help me with removing these things that seek to steal, kill and destroy, that are in opposition to Your Will for my life,  In the name of Jesus, I thank You, Amen!*
 
*Jesus asked, "what do you want Me to do for you?"*

i can go deep into the visions He has placed in my heart, and remind myself what is really important. remind myself that it does not matter what i don't have, or what i don't know how to do, neither does it matter that i may not know when or how things will get done, all those details do not matter to me.
i am content and at complete peace in the name of Jesus, that God will bring it all to pass.
i am completely convinced that in the name of Jesus, God has Already done and supplied everything that needs to be done and to be supplied to me and my family.
no matter what the "new thing" is that we experience on any day, my first action is to turn to Jesus.

 that place where my faith encourages me saying, "as long as I know He has, then i can." i know there's one thing that can block God, and that is a lack of faith.
that is one of the first things i learned, God answers our faith.
if someone does not believe He is, and that He will, then He won't.


*Jesus asked the man, "Are you Sure you want to be Healed?" (John 5:6)*

that place, where
i can hear His Love in the quiet speak to my heart, soul and spirit.... dropping wisdom, clarity, correction, revelation, understanding, and renewing all the fruits and the gifts of His Spirit that have to be had, recognized, cooperated with, and
allowed to have complete control in and through me, so that i can continue to become who God created me to be.
*When Bartimaeus, the blind beggar, called out to Jesus for help, Jesus said, “What do you want Me to do for you?” And the blind man said, “Rabboni, that I may receive my sight!” Jesus said, “Go your way; your faith has made you well!” (Mark 10:51-52).*


that place early in the morning where quiet still rules, i go to get my daily healing and give my praise and love to the One who draws me near.

#are you there yet?
#are you on your way?

DAILY PORTION--KEEP BUILDING


Greetings my sisters and brothers, I pray that you are in your complete and confident faith filled with radical trust and focused on our Lord Jesus.

A Word of Encouragement to you all= Keep your expectations in the Lord Jesus--Keep Building what He has called you to Build!


When critics begin to speak against you, gathering others to join them, no matter what lies they tell, how they spin what they say about you, nor how many they get to join in with them., Stay Focused on Jesus and God's Purpose for you!They speak through their brokenness, through their hurt and jealousy, they are open to the enemy's work, that is why he is using them to Try and defeat you, to distract you, to get you from walking and living Through God's Spirit to walking and living through your flesh.

KEEP doing what you have been Called to do!


Don't give them any of your time, energy, money, strength, or attention.
 Keep your focus on Who holds the details of your life, your mission, your work, your assignment, your purpose.
THIS Is Not the Time to Get Offended! 

It's The Time to stay Focused, and Keep Building what You have Been Sent to Build!

God is in the midst of the Details of your life and purpose, not the enemy.

Of course they will come against you.... Aren't You serving God in the name of Jesus?
Aren't you healing people?  Aren't you feeding, clothing, giving water to people who need? Aren't you helping people find jobs, getting health care, vehicles, education, and helping them with their children?  Aren't you Bringing the Love of Jesus to them?
Aren't you obeying the Leading of the Holy Spirit?
Aren't you allowing your heart to be Opened? Aren't you learning what you need to learn and being corrected in what you need to be corrected in?
Aren't you spiritually growing and maturing?

AREN'T You bridging the Gaps that exist, that seek to swallow up More and More people?
Yes, you Are!
So With Joy, With Peace, With Faith and With Trust = Remember Who Chose and Called you to do what You are doing = Keep Building What you have Been Called to Build, and let the critics keep speaking against you, They will not succeed unless you allow them to do so. 
Pray for them, and leave them in God's Hands.

Remember, Jesus Never let His critics change His focus nor did He get distracted from His Purpose!
He sometimes never even responded to them directly! He allowed His Actions to Speak for Him! He allowed God's Glory to Speak for Him. He allowed His Purpose to Speak for Him.


Remember, you Have What you Need to Do What You have Been Called to do!

Stay Focused on our Lord and Do what ever He tells you to do!
Glory be to God in the Name of Jesus, So Be It!
"Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God?
Or am I trying to please people?
If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ."

DAILY PORTION- "...BRINGS NO SORROW..."



 The blessing of the Lord—it makes truly rich, and He adds no sorrow with it, neither does toiling increase it."  Proverbs 10:22

I hope that you are enjoying the blessings of this day my
friends. I pray the Holy Spirit encourages you through this message in the name of Jesus.


We all receive God's blessings whether we realize what they are or not. Those who realize what they have and who they are and who Praise our Lord-  are richer for knowing.

Nothing God blesses us with brings us sorrow. They may come with some rough patches, a few bumpy places, and some details that Stretch us in areas we Need to be stretched in, but, none of His blessings bring us sorrow.
New Beginnings always come with changes, because we have to be moved into the proper places of His divine order and timing.


 When we add to what He has given us thinking we can handle it alone and we don't need His input anymore, when we think we know the next steps to take without His spirit guiding us, when we have the wrong or limited perspective of what He has given us, when we try to keep people involved with our work that God is cutting away from us, when we have our expectation in ourselves, and other people instead of in Jesus. Then, any of those or other actions and thinking by us (not God) Will add sorrow to the Blessings we have been given. 

When we allow sorrow to be added in, the Blessings are altered, they are perverted, they are stunted, stale, dry, and stagnant. Oh yes, they will produce "something", but not What God intended for them to Produce. So therefore, we are not receiving the fullness of His Blessings, we receive what we created, which will always be less, shallow, self serving, and will not help any others along the way.
Glory shall not be given to God in the name of Jesus when we receive what only we can accomplish by our human ways. 
You have to ask yourself every day, Whose outcome do I want? God's or mine?
If you are determined to do things your way based on your emotions, ego, pride, fears and doubt,  you will always receive less and accomplish a mess, you will never be able to Help others, and you will probably always be frustrated, irritated and falling through the gaps.
We have to Examine our motives Every day concerning each and every thing, small or large. 


Learning how to calmly, confidently and boldly face the temptations that come at us every day will increase our confidence in our ability to discern, recognize and resist the lies of our enemy every time we are faced with his deceptive whispers.
Remember, first the enemy deceives then he manipulates.  His purpose is to make us not trust in the Lord, to make us not put our expectation in the Lord, to make us lean on our own thinking, and ways. He will come through others when he can't get into your head.  Others at your job, in your family, strangers, who ever is open to his authority, he will use with the sole purpose of stopping God's will in, for and through us.
It's not about you, or me, it's about satans sole purpose and God's will.

We need to remember on purpose, to Pray these troubles, difficulties and temptations Up to God in the name of Jesus, as they are opportunities to do so.
Doing so, will turn us around and enable us to see as God reveals to us what we need to do concerning them all.
If we keep them hemmed in, thinking them over trying to find a way to make them all work out for our good on our own, then we shall fall into the gaps they create.
See them for what they truly are, opportunities for us to give them to our Lord to take care of. He already Has a solution for every trouble, difficulty, issue and set of circumstances that shall ever face us. We need to remember this truth and turn to Him so that we see and receive His Ways Made Through!


If you are doing the Will of God, Of Course satan is going come after you! Of Course he is going to attack you every chance he gets. You are walking by faith and trust, praising God, expecting God, learning what Jesus said and doing what He told us to do, you are freeing people from evil strongholds, feeding people, blessing people, encouraging them, helping to Push Back The Darkness in other lives and in your own life as well.
Of Course satan is coming after you. 
Let me give you a reminder to alter your perspective.... life's difficulties and troubles are intended to stop us and make us doubt and fear.  God turns everything meant for bad into Good for us--to Help us accomplish His will for each day.

So, no matter what the impossibilities, troubles and difficulties are that we face, God has turned them all around and given them a Way to Increase our speed. As long as we remember to see them from a higher perspective and call on the forces of the power of His love, His wisdom, His truth, and put them into action, we will Roll right over these dark troubles as our light shines forth.
Whatever they are, we must overcome them and not be fooled into thinking they have power over us.  They are sent to make us pervert the BlessingsTo make us leave His leading, to make us think we are wasting our time. Don't leave the purpose that God has put you here to do!
I remind you to Put all your focus on the Lord, stay in the flow of His spirit and His spirit Will reveal to you the Strength of your faith.  Making a conscious effort to put and Keep your Trust in Jesus as He leads us through the chaos, the smoke and mirrors, the transitions, the changes and the difficult and challenging times.
Keep seeking His face and sit with Him to be renewed through devotion and dedication to His Kingdom purposes you have been put here to accomplish.

With all the spiritual shifting that is going on we have to stay focused on Jesus, we have to sit with the Lord More than less, we have to stay diligent and strong allowing Him to be our strength, to be humbled and speak out to Him, "LORD I cannot do this alone, I cannot do this without YOU!"
He has established us in a Growing and Maturing Faith and Trust, He is our Very Present Help in times of trouble.

What ever God has you doing seek His ways concerning EVERY detail, Every decision, no matter how small you think it is--it is VERY Important for you to accomplish His will for today.
Don't rush His process, don't try to change His order and timing, Push your emotions, fears and doubt Down under the Power and Authority of His Holy Indwelling Spirit.
He allows Pressure to lay on us so that we will See and Know what we are really made of.  So that we will be aware of all the closed doors to Him in our heart, so that we will Open those closed doors in our hearts to Him. Pressure aligns us with His will where we are out of line.

We all speak out, "Lord, Open all the doors I need to go through, IJN, Amen!"
Well, have you ever thought that Many of those doors that are closed are within our own hearts?

He has to open us up First, before the Way in the natural is Opened up for us to go through!
Conquer the small difficulties so that they do not become large troubles later on down the road.
There is No Failure with Him, therefore, as long as we stay in His presence, stay in His Love, stay in His Power, we shall not fail. The minute we add in our own thoughts, actions and "good ideas" we Will Bring Sorrow to His Blessings. 

I speak Encouragement to you-I Pray in the name of Jesus that you Be Opened! EPHPHATHA!!
I ask the Lord's Spirit to reveal to you all the closed doors in your heart toward Him and then to Open them and allow Him to flow into those areas that are Really meant for Him in the first place.

In the name of Jesus, I Pray the Lord remove the scales from your eyes and ears so that you may See and Hear, I Pray that you recognize He has given us the Grace to Trust Him More, I Pray that you Ask Him to Help you with your unbelief, I Pray that You Be Opened in the places of your heart that are closed to our Lord, and I Pray that you add no sorrow to the Blessings of the Lord that He has given to you.  May these words be More than words in our Lives, All Glory be to God in the name of Jesus!

I love you and I need you-we need each other!  So Be It!

 
Matthew 10:31-42

"Now Unto Him that Is Able to Keep You from falling, And to Present You Faultless Before the Presence of His Glory With Exceeding JOY..."

"This poor person cried, And the Lord Heard, and Saved this person out of all of their troubles!"  Psalm 34:6

 "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.  Therefore we will not fear, even though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though its waters roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with its swelling." Selah
Psalm 46

DAILY PORTION-GRACE TO TRUST JESUS MORE


"Therefore do Not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."  Matthew 6:34
“Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.” (Psalm 19:14


Greetings to you in the Love of Jesus.
I want to remind you that in the midst of uncertainty, when troubles seem to roll in an overlapping pattern, when your situations and circumstances are treating you like a pack mule... in the Name of Jesus, before you begin that pity party, Open up what Ever faith and trust you have and Start Praising our Lord!

Begin Every prayer with a Praise and end ever prayer in Praise, This is how we speak in the language of Faith and Trust--making sure that our prayers are Heard and answered.
Praise Establishes an open way for communication between us and our Lord. Even in our distress, before we begin to cry and fall weak, we should Bless the Lord with All our heart and soul. As trouble attempts to overwhelm us, seek the Divine approach to our Father and Let His Love be the loudest sound you hear!
He Will supply the Grace we need to Trust Him More!  To Trust Him in the Details of our lives.

See, our needs speak to Him before we open our mouth--so when you open your mouth make sure that you are Blessing His Holy Name and Praising Him for His faithfulness first.  Do not allow shame and distress to move you out of the flow of His spirit.  Do not allow your emotions to carry you further away from His presence.
Search your mind until you remember and find cause to be thankful for all He has already done for you!  Bless Him and Thank Him!

When we do our part in this Relationship, our Lord can do His part, and you can rest assured that Deliverance is already happening in your life. Praising and Looking to Jesus and staying focused on Him Gladdens our hearts, Joy lifts us up, Peace can freely flow providing the balance that we need. The burdens and worry fall to the way side, and we are Right with God.
Praise and Blessing His Holy Name Will release us from worrying, doubts and fears, keeping all emotions under the control of His Holy Spirit.
Emotions are in strong contrast to faith and trust in Him.  You  don't want to really go where these emotions will take you, they will surly hinder your walk in the Spirit.

In the Name of Jesus, I encourage you to set your face toward The Peace that Jesus Left us with, to make up your mind and keep it made up that His inner peace--that Peace that surpasses All understanding will take over our circumstances and reveal to us that they are Nothing compared to the Love of God for us.
Be strong, stand in your faith, allow God to stretch your Trust and Love so that you are Not wavering back and forth, but are Being established in a Good foundation that He has prepared for you.

Surrender All Every day to God in the name of Jesus--Surrender All,!

Let your love be the loudest sound God Hears from you!
In the name of Jesus, So Be It!

"So will I compass thine altar, O Lord: that I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works!~"
-Psalm 26:6, 7

DAILY PORTION--THOUGHTS



We have to Remember on Purpose to Focus our thoughts. It is so easy to become distracted with all the noise of the world, the noise of fears, sadness, disappointment, past mistakes, lies, and just plain foolishness.  We become distracted with our desires, plans, and wants, our needs and lack shout to be heard and given attention, driving us to try and manipulate situations to go a certain way.
The Noise of comparisons, the noise of jealousy, of hurt and pain, of sickness and illnesses....
They All compete for our attention. Quiet is needed for us to focus and remain truthful and strong. Boldness is necessary over our emotions and self will, so that we are walking, living and moving Through the Spirit of our Lord.

The Lord wants us to Focus on Him, to Allow His Love and Faithfulness to Be the Loudest Sound we Hear.  He desires for us to React in and through Love and Faith to all things that come against His purposes, plans and will for our lives.  To quiet those things that compete for His Glory! 
So that when we speak Power combined with our Faith, "PEACE! Be STILL!"
Every thing Calms Down!

These distraction create resistance to the changes He desires to Make in us and for us.  They are sent to steal our faith, joy, power, love, to make us stagnant in His purposes for the Building up of His Kingdom here on earth as it is in Heaven. His Kingdom is Within Us--In our Hearts!

They create stress, confusion and we end up with a mind that wanders through scattered thoughts, entertaining the "what ifs, and the "but".

Use your gifts of Self-Control and  Push yourself to stay focused on His Love and purposes for each day. Every time ramblings, negative and useless thoughts invade your mind,
Focus on Today's purpose, since we live One day at a time.  Remember, that Today Is Enough For Today!

We have to re-train/re-teach ourselves to React to every problem, trouble, sickness, illness, every health issue, every lack and need, every angry person, every rejection, every hindrance, with Love and Faith.
Using our gifts of Self-control and Self-discipline Keeps our emotions from guiding our reaction, so that our hurt and pain, our unresolved issues do not move us to react through  them.  These are dead, toxic places in us that we give power to because we will not Face them and kill them with the Truth of God's Love.

If we feed and water these emotional responses, then we are saying that they have power over us, we are saying we would rather have them instead of the Holy Spirit as our comforter.  We are saying that we would rather be defensive toward every thing and person that God sends to Speak the Truth of the Lord that we Need to hear so that we will be Cleansed of these dead, toxic places in our hearts.

These are every day things that are Out of Our Control --we have No power to change them without the Power of God's Holy Spirit Helping us to do so. These are the things that Must be handed over to God in the name of Jesus so that He is able to turn them all around, to manipulate them into Glory for Him and Victory for us. We Must cooperate with His Spirit in order to Allow spiritual and emotional growth and maturity to continue to do what God sent them to do.

All of these distractions are sent to make us and keep us unproductive and to move us away from being obedient to His leading and Love. To keep us off balance, to keep us in darkness and to keep clarity away from our minds. If we hold on and water these seeds of distraction we will end up as hypocrites, our mouths will speak LOVE, but our Hearts will be against all things that God Is.

I Encourage you to Focus your mind and push away negative, and unproductive thoughts and ways- to Call upon and allow the Holy Spirit to Cleanse our spiritual lives, to make the atmosphere and environment CLEAN so that we are able to Receive greater clarity for the Purpose we are to accomplish on this day.
Delight yourself in the Lord and He will bring to pass all the visions, plans, purposes and Love that you are in need of.

In the name of Jesus, So Be It!

"For the weapons of our warfare are Not carnal but Mighty in God for Pulling Down strongholds, Casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself Against the knowledge of God, Bringing every thought into Captivity to the Obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled."2 Corinthians 10:4-6  

2 Tim 4:1-5; John 18:34-37; Luke 17:19-25

DAILY PORTION--MORE WATER NEEDED



"This Is The Confidence we Have in Approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us." 1 John 5:14


 
As I was watering our flowers, I focused on the fact that I had to provide more water for the plants that are in Large containers. Now, I know this, but I had not given thought to it in detail, specifically how this is connected and relates to our need for the Lord's Water, our presence in His Presence every day.  So, I am standing over each plant, I've got the nozzle set to "shower" and "gentle water pressure" so I will not provide the water too strong or too fast. Either one would defeat the purpose of watering as I would waste the water and disturb the soil in a way that could damage the roots.

  The Spirit of the Lord began to say to me, See, the larger the vessel the more soil to provide for. Don't stop watering before you provide All the water that the soil needs.  Make sure to
give them a good soaking so that "all" the dry soil gets the water it needs. After you wet the soil, Make sure to pull out the small weeds trying to grow in the soil around the flower, they are easier to pull out after they are wet.
Pay attention and make sure you know which seeds you are watering, the good seed or the bad seed.

This made me think about myself, my family members, and all the people I come into contact with each day.
What am I watering (through my words, thoughts, prayers, praise and actions) in each that I deal with each day, the good seeds or the bad seeds?
 Am I providing enough water to bring forth the New Growth in myself and each of us?
Am I sitting with my Lord Long enough to be thoroughly and completely watered=Soaked so that all the New Growth God has planned in me and my people is properly feed?


We are vessels, some with large containers and some with small containers. I am not speaking about the size of our physical selves, but our hearts and the calling that God has placed on each of us.

We have the seeds that God has planted in us and everyday we need spiritual watering, cultivating, weeding, etc, in order to grow the way each seed has been Planned to grow and produce.
We are vessels/containers for His Holy Spirit who provides the gifts and the fruit of the Spirit.
Spiritually watering the dry soil of our hearts feeds the seeds that God has sown into us.
They have to be Spiritually Watered every day or the Good seeds will die and the seeds of weeds will flourish.

The larger the container that holds the flower or plant, the More water you have to give it.

Some people who are Large containers, (called to do Large Work for God) don't sit long enough to be Completely Watered. There are areas of soil all through the container that do not get thoroughly watered. They stay dry, unable by faith, unprepared to fulfill the Purpose given to them.
Just as a flower will not be as Effective in Providing Blooms as Planned for it.
Some people have large Work to do for God, but don't sit with Him long enough to be thoroughly Watered, in order to completely accomplish what God gave them to do.
They miss the Fullness of the Blessing, so God does not get All the Glory.
Many kill off the New Shoots of growth that God has begun in them. They do not water them or provide any spiritual food to these new growths.
Then you hear them wonder out loud, what they think is wrong.

*There is a small shoot of New Growth*

There are times where we spend too much energy fussing, debating, thinking on issues that we have No control over when we should 'Right Away', simply Give these things to the Lord in Prayer. Knowing/Resting in the Truth that He has a plan to make it all work properly.

We get distracted by some "chasing our tail mission", wasting time and energy and never getting the results necessary to add Power to our Faith, or Faith to His Power.
  We have to know our purpose concerning every situation and set of circumstances, and discern when all we are to do is hand the issue over to the Lord for Only He can resolve what is unresolved.
We are to REST in His comfort, allowing our trust and faith to help us wait to See His Glory in the situation, based on God's timing and order, Not ours.
I encourage you to Stop moving so much, To Stop trying to do God's Part and do Your Part, To Stop occupying yourself with empty busy work, and To Sit with Him, and allow His Spirit to Completely Water Your Whole Self, so that you are Restored, Renewed, and Prepared -filled with what You will Need to Accomplish the Work that You have been Called to do!
Give back to God what God has given you. This means, what ever the vision is, don't dwell on it, praise it through. What ever the assignment is, Don't fear doing it, give it back to Him and let His Spirit lead  you to accomplish it as He has planned.

There is Purpose in the Process that God has initiated for us, and there is Purpose in the Promises that God has made to us. Don't rush the processes and don't confuse the purpose of either of them.
We have to be careful Not to try and  Make the vision or promise come to pass by inserting our own thoughts, ways, thinking, and actions. If we do that, we will mess things up.

When we are in a time of transitioning from one season to another, respect the process. Slow down, and Wait for the Spirit of our Lord to led you. The enemy is always waiting for us to attempt to do things on our own and will bring to us a storm full of confusion, lies, and distractions.
he wants us to think we are going in the wrong direction, that we have made a mistake and we need to do this or that. If this or that is Not what the spirit of God has told you to do, then don't do it.
Use your gift of self-control to keep yourself disciplined.
When we stay within His Peace, Joyful, and at Rest, we are calm and able to Hear the leading and correcting of His spirit.
Do not borrow trouble, which means, don't get involved with anybody's
"good idea". their drama, their messes, and their lack of faith and trust.
Ask for a stronger spiritual discernment from the Holy Spirit so that You will Know your purpose in people's lives.


God will Keep us as long as we Wait on the moving of His spirit and not allow our emotions to lead us, or following what we see and hear others doing.

The anointing that we need to accomplish each Work from God He will supply.
In the name of Jesus, so be it!

Matthew 11:28-30   "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."

Hebrews 4:9-10  There remains therefore a rest for the people of God.  For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.

DAILY PORTION--FIX YOUR FACE

And my Lord said back to me, "Let My Love Be The Loudest Sound You Hear My Child" 


I heard myself talking to myself, as I was encouraging and mostly listening to our daughters tell me about their day today at school. When I spoke out loud those pieces of comfort and wisdom to them, as I spoke Life,  I could feel them flow right into my heart and spread their encouragement all through me.
Our daughters are an inspiration to me.

Today was the first day of school for them. On top of this, they began high school today, Yep! Ninth graders live in this home now.
Our oldest daughter has ASD, so any changes and new beginnings that she does not initiate are challenging for her. I must say, I see growth, development and maturity in her and how she is handling confusion, disappointment, several new changes at once, etc... God answers Prayers, in the name of Jesus, yes He does!

Our youngest daughter as with our oldest, was just going through what all of us have gone through on that first day in high school. When you put it all together, it's what we all go through when many changes happen at once because of new beginnings. We each handle them differently, some better than others.
God will Speak to you through your children, if you are listening to them.

Every thought that came to me as I listened to them reminded me continue to do the same things I was telling them to do. They have been proven to Work.
I was reminded that when I hit bumps, or get tired, to change my perspective and remember that I am within new beginnings. It's going to be uncomfortable, I've never been here before-I will be stretched in ways I did not know I could be.

New beginnings are always in a state of unfolding.
Where we are today in them, is not where God is going to leave us.

Embrace the new beginnings in this season of correction.

Fix your face.
( I heard this growing up when I would pout, frown or was grumbling and moping)
Take the bumps and find the Smooth parts, and Remember that this is only for a short moment the uncomfortableness you are experiencing from doing things a Differen
t Way.

Stretch your body how ever the New Beginnings Stretch you.
There is Now More Room for your growth to Spread out into.

Get Settled, find your spot where you can Stand Firm as you are being blown some by the Winds of Change that always Come with New Beginnings.

You asked God to align you with His Will and Plans.
You asked Him to help you accomplish His Purpose for your life.
Well, that is what is going on.


It's a Season of Correction!
No Matter How we got to these too small places, to these wrong spaces, Here we have the opportunities that Will correct by moving us from where we Are -to- Where we Should Be.
  This Always Brings new beginnings as opportunities for Us to Step out of the too small places and spaces we have become stuck in, not growing and not maturing.

Fix Your Face,
Remember that even though you thought you were comfortable where you Were--you Had outgrown that space, and your Roots were Crowded at the bottom of that container with no Room to Spread out and Not Enough Food available to Feed your Spirit!
Embrace your new beginnings in this season of correction.
I Encourage you to allow Gods corrections to do what needs to be done in you, for you and through you.

In the name of Jesus, To God Be The Glory!



"Peace I leave with you; My own peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled."  John 14:27
(Isaiah 26:3)
