FOR THOSE THAT ASK TO RECEIVE...PT 2





“Thus says the Lord, Who makes a way through the sea and a path through the mighty waters, Do not remember the former things; neither consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs forth; do you not perceive and know it and will you not give heed to it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” (Isaiah 43:16, 18-19)


I Share with you All that the Lord has told me--has poured into me!!  Amen!

My friends, I encourage you to do as I am doing with the Lord....He has been speaking to me nonstop...well, lol--He does that anyway...but the lift in His voice- the strength of His love poured into me these past few days has been enormous!! Overflowing out of me!!  I am so happy and full of Joy and Peace!
I couldn't Wait to deliver this message to you all!  Glory, Glory!!  Yes Lord!!

I was ushering in the New Year a few months ago...In a Spiritual Way as the Lord does things.
So here we are at the actual natural time, day and place...of a New Year about to start...New Beginnings!

This is the time, the season to leave your past with the Lord, to leave with Him your mistakes, your hurts, your sins, your pain, your disappointments, lost opportunities, unforgiveness, all of that past stuff from this year...He is calling for us to leave it ALL with Him  AND to move forward with Him and lets get to work!   Lets continue to ALLOW His Spirit to Work in us and for us!  Amen!

  Then He tells me to BRING to Him my (our) youth, our powers, our love and as He is our Spirit Guide for getting through this upcoming year, He with us,  He will continue to prepare us to Work With Him to complete everything that has been spoken for us to do with Him!
Glory to the Lord I love Him SO MUCH!

He forgives all that ask for it--at that point He is able to begin to heal those areas of your life!  AS you forgive others,  He forgives you!
Amen!

He will share with us all burdens, all joys, all that lies ahead for us He Will Share in with us--He Will be with us!

I tell you I am VERY excited about the beginning of our natural new year....I am Very expectant of His All for this new approaching year!!  As I have never been before!! 

I have grown, and been matured and been used in order to be used some more! lol
I am probably going to get on unbelievers and fake christians, and young christians  nerves for the next few days! WHEEWWW!!  And that's Alright by me...the Truth will free you!! 

He will bring to us His agelessness, His powers, His love mixed with ours...With Him sharing the burdens of His work with us..us sharing the burdens with Him...we are unstoppable , we are efficient, we are effective in doing Everything that the Lord has asked us to do for Him!  AMEN!

The Lord told me that I (we) need to Open our eyes, so that we can See and Discern the times and seasons that He has moved us into!  He says that we are  within a time of renovation, and restoration!
That this is the time of Spiritual Cleaning, repairing and rebuilding!

The Lord told me not to dream, or ask or desire anything small...not to be afraid to desire, to dream, to ask for Large, GREAT things from Him--As He has put into us Large, Big Desires..He is larger and greater than we could ever imagine! Why would He give us small dreams, small desires, Now He may start us off small ,,, begin in small ways with us..but ohhhh how what He does will Grow Large, and whatever the Lord starts Always Grows!  It does not become stagnant or shrink!

....think about that for a moment....

Oh how I love the friends my sisters and brothers that the Lord has placed in my life! Most of you I only contact via email or phone...a few i see in person--some i have never met in person...no matter to me--you are the ones that He sent to me...
And  I love you all!  Even when some of you run from me., avoid me, don't say thank you for delivering the messages to you from Him.. I still love you and will not leave you unless the Lord directs me to do so! Amen!

I am staying with the Lord...He is rebuilding my life and wants to do the same with you and your life...but you must leave the past in the past -- and step forward into this New Beginnings, And Yes you will need some courage, some faith, some trust and lots of obedience!

What we will see in the natural realm is a sign of what He is transpiring in the Spirit realm.  He is renewing and restoring us to a New Life and Vigor!! 
He wants us to take heart And Yield to His Spiritual Stimulation that Will without doubt, Invigorate us at the deepest levels of our Being!

Remember, His true believers, those that are Beloved to Him, Watch for Him every day and night...not just one night out of the entire year!!  Don't get caught up with empty rituals, and religious traditions that will Not move you any closer to the Lord if your motives are not correct ...but in fact may keep you from growing in His love!  Check your MOTIVES.....

I encourage you to OPEN your and your ears, and your heart to SEE that we are in His time and season of His Work of restoring, rebuilding, spiritual cleaning and Holy Uplifting Us by His love. 
Expect Him at All Times and He Will not Disappoint you!  He has Never Disappointed me...not one time and I don't Expect Him to Ever disappoint me! 

Hallelujah!!  Glory to the Lord, The KING of KINGS!  Jesus Loves us so much!  I pray that You will be able to leave your past all of it--in the past and come on and step forward with Him.,...let us continue to share in His work with Him!  There is Much to do!!

Happy New Year to you all-I appreciate you all and value your life!
Sending much Love to you from my heart and home to you and yours!
In the name of Jesus, AMEN, AMEN, AMEN!

*NOTE*  I know this message is full of anointing and power and sounds GOOD!!  But He does expect you do to more than just read this and say amen...He is Expecting YOU to come to Him in prayer, In praise and in Worship and Do what He has directed us to DO!--Obedience is a Form of True Worship to the Lord!**



You look at life differently when you walk through things that
within your own power cannot be changed--
you Know that Only God can do the Impossible!

“I have set the Lord continually before me;
because He Is At my right hand, I Shall Not be moved.”

FOR THOSE THAT ASK TO RECEIVE...PT 1




Good day my friends, my sisters and brothers....


**I pray and hope that each of you that reads this will be open, will stay teachable and willing to His Love, His directions, His guidance, surrendered fully to continue to be changed by His love from who the world has made us to be - into who He Created us to be!  He does and can speak to each heart accordingly…In the name of Jesus, I pray and hope this will be true for you-that you have asked to receive from our Lord, and Now you continuously Expect Him!  Amen.**


The Lord has a strategy for each of us that will ask Him for it, And then Wait for Him to reveal it completely in His timing.  He has prophecy, declaration of His Will, He has a sword of Truth to cut from you what needs to go and for you to use to provide freedom to those in bondage….

He has knowledge, wisdom, understanding, all for those that ask for it… He will give….He has promises, the results of being blessed, miracles, healing, for all who do but ask for them all…He Has promised to tell/to warn His people of things to come…If you have ears to hear and eyes that can see, then you will not turn away the message, the warning, that He sends….


We have to Wait until He leads us to do, to say, to help-be of service--How He says and When He says….we cannot do His Work our way, by our thoughts, by our sight, by our power…that is just religious busyness…walking in place, helping no one including ourselves!

People are always telling others, “I’m blessed!”…but they do not live like they are.  If you know you have been blessed by the Lord, then live in the results of being blessed; you will not have to tell anyone that you are—it will be seen by the way you live, the way you act, they way you talk.

The Lord wants you to Rise Up into this new level of Faith that He has moved you INTO.  Rise Up and Know that He Is with you, with us that asked, that lean on Him, that rely on Him, that are willing and teachable…... 

He is leading and guiding us into the Fullness of our destiny spoken by His heart for each of us…and He Will be With us throughout this Journey until the very end of the age.

He will always provide to us Spiritually First, then in the natural.  It is His Process of divine order. Being impatient will not hurry Him, but will hinder you and your progress.  Stop seeking material stuff for instant gratification! 

Think about this….If people spent as much time in God’s presence as they do shopping, thinking of what they don’t have, thinking about how to get more stuff, etc…they would not be so shallow and empty as they are. Trying to fill up the spaces and places in their lives that ONLY the Lord can sit in.

I hear people talking about catching the sales, wondering how they can spend their gift cards…the thought came to me…I wondered if any of these people used those sales to buy some things for the women’s and childrens shelter….I wondered if any of the people that received gifts cards (that they maybe really didn’t need) just walked up to someone who is poor and maybe homeless and just gave them away…I wonder…..


 Do Not turn and hide and run away, fearful of the world and its evil…do not allow the power of evil to direct your thoughts, your speech, and your heart speaking its lies to you.

Our destiny has been written and sealed by Him, And it Shall come to pass if only you will Believe.  Abide in Him, Walk with Him Stay with Him knowing that as each storm of life arises He is with us Greatly to help us through them.  We come out stronger than we went in.

Out of Heaven out of the Kingdom shall flow all that we need, all that we require for each day. But you must ask to receive as He sends.
Amen.


Isaiah 45:11-12
John 16:13
Romans 8:38


 Many of you keep recoiling at the first smell, sight and hearing of any approaching adversity, and this is because of all that each of you has already been through.


But, let me tell you this truth from the Lord, He is calling us forth to a new level of Boldness, of Faith, of Trusting Him so that we can press through with His Power that  He has already Provided. He Is calling us to Rise Up to this new level that He has put us on. 


Through our Faith we Know the assurance that He Is Always With us and will always give us the strength we need to overcome, pushing through, learning what we don’t know and receiving the correction that we need.  The deepness of the Peace we have because we put our Faith to His Power, adds to our character and our purpose.


John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”


 
As you begin to reflect on this past year of your life, examine how far He has brought you since last year.  Do not give importance to what you have done on your own, whether they be mistakes or something you feel is good; but See what the Lord has done for you, through you and for His people, for Himself, His Kingdom.  


Please do not measure yourself by the worlds standard of being human and of living…you will always be disappointed and ineffective this way.  See and know the truth that He has done for you and in you, the changes that He knew needed to be done, and continue to Allow His Spirit to correct everything else that needs to be as He knows it. 

Confess to Him that you have made up yoru mind to stay this course, or the winds of trouble, will blow you over and under the waters that we walk on!

Look for every way, place and space in which you have blocked your own growth in His love.  Reflect upon the times where you have disobeyed His directions and ignored His guidance when given to you….Guided by His Holy Spirit, Start here and move forward for the upcoming year.

Are you gathering stuff in place of growing in Him? Are you fence sitting concerning certain parts and areas of your Spiritual and natural life?  Examine your ways to see if you are still living and moving and thinking by His Spirit.

The Lord has Already Poured over us His Extra Measure of Grace that we need.  He knows this – Now, so do we.


He has Already exerted His Holy influence over our lives in order to Spiritually and naturally strengthen us to build up our Faith in Him.

We have been given the Spirit of and the power to discern all things.  We have to discern what He has already done for us and through us, to enjoy the fragrance that His presence releases when He is around.  Such sweetness does His Love provide to those that He cherishes…..

TAKE A MOMENT TO SEARCH YOUR MOTIVES....




Greetings to you on this wonderfully made day given to us as a Gift from the Lord!

Please, Slow Down, and be careful of tricks, and traps set/sent by the enemy to try to get you off-balance by pulling you in too many directions.

He loves to use this Season to trick the Lord's people into forgetting the Truth and the Reason for the celebration...

He tries to get us to get caught up in the buying and selling, to get us to use our energy to acquire stuff and to give stuff for the wrong reasons. Forgetting who we live for and Serve. If he gets us all caught up in focusing on stuff then he keeps our minds off of what people really are in need of.....

He attacks us either physically by having too much to do and/or mentally and emotionally. Bringing up past hurts, and memories of missed people...sow those tears and that sadness unto the Lord in Prayer, Praise and Worship KNOWING that He will take them and return His Beauty for your ashes!

Amen!

And yes, the enemy will use other people that serve him to attack us ....the person who takes your parking space, the person who jumps in front of you in line, the clerk who woke up with a case of the nasty A.T, the people who think you are here only to please them, the car that cut you off almost hitting you; and all the other bad behavior that is revealed during this Season and really every day of the year...

How you re-act to these people speaks more about the Lord who Lives in you --who you Serve then it does the nasty acts.

Let it all go by the wayside...Let it go..smile and see these times as the opportunities that the Lord has given for you to pray and forgive these people. You will grow and mature from these situations.... if you really want to.

He will trick you and make you think that you have not done enough...that your children and family and friends will be upset and disappointed because they did not get the stuff they wanted...

Well, if that is the truth and the case...then maybe we all need to take a look at how we are raising our children, take a look at who we have allowed to be our friends, and to see if we are living for the approval of our family members, our friends and our children instead of God's approval....
Because the enemy of the Lord will trick you into thinking that you Should seek the approval of people instead of God!

How many of us will ignore the Lord leading us to GIVE Freely and with Joy to the people He Says we are to give to, but will do all for those that He has not directed us to help or give anything too?

The enemy's plan is to make us feel scattered, confused, guilty, and not appreciated, not loved unless we give stuff.  And usually to the wrong people..

I encourage you to Rise up against these attacks and refuse to allow his evil to have any of it's power over you. Each of us controls evil's power Over us...whether it will work or not is up to us...

It's not the power of evil that controls us...it's us if we allow it to control us!

The Power of His Holy Spirit that Loves and Lives within each of us is ALL POWERFUL...all we have to do is Yield to Him and allow Him to do what He was created to do for us...And when we do that brings Honor and Glory to our Mother/Father God, in the name of Jesus!

Yes You can do this...here's how= by deliberately spending quality time in quiet contemplation of His Will, Purpose and Word to regain Spiritual serenity, clarity and balance, to seek His face, His presence, His All for your life...

Willingly and Rejoicingly Desiring Spiritual And Emotional Maturity;

I speak this for you in the name of Jesus, And His Holy Spirit Will provide All that you are in need of!

I know this to be the Truth from the LORD! Amen!

The Lord is The Source of our Peace, our Strength, our Abilities, our Compassion, our Growth, our ALL!

In the Name of Jesus, With Love, Faith, Truth, Trust, and Peace do I send this out to you... I truly Love all of you--You are my Spiritual Family!

"Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." John 14:27


"Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests."

HELP FOR MY FAMILY.....


 Galatians 4:3-8 

3So we [Jewish Christians] also, when we were minors, were kept like slaves under [the rules of the Hebrew ritual and subject to] the elementary teachings of a system of external observations and regulations.
    4But when the proper time had fully come, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born subject to [the regulations of] the Law,
    5To purchase the freedom of (to ransom, to redeem, to [a]atone for) those who were subject to the Law, that we might be adopted and have sonship conferred upon us [and be recognized as God's sons].
    6And because you [really] are [His] sons, God has sent the [[b]Holy] Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, Abba (Father)! Father!
    7Therefore, you are no longer a slave (bond servant) but a son; and if a son, then [it follows that you are] an heir [c]by the aid of God, through Christ.

My friends, my sisters and brothers, my Family....In the Name of Jesus I pray to the Father to provide All the Spiritual and the natural Help that we all need for each day.  I pray that we willingly receive what He says we need based on His Will and Purpose for our lives, not by what we think or desire according to our own will and weaknesses.  I Praise and Thank the Father in the name of Jesus for Hearing me and Answering my prayers to Him, Amen.
I am used by Him to help those that Serve Him, those that He has called to be His Helpers and Workers.  And what a beautifully, varied group of people that He has chosen to Serve Him.....

I also pray that all of you will continue to Seek His Way and timing, will continue to Wait for Him, and Will continue to answer His Calling in complete and total obedience...that you Will continue to allow Him to Change you into the person with the heart and character that is worthy to belong to Him and to be used by Him. This is one of the many ways that we show Him how much we Love Him. I Pray That you Will Actively Love  Him, and Serve Him in and through the Holy Spirit--This is the Only Way to present to Him an Acceptable Sacrifice.

That we all continue to Allow the Processes that His Love has started to change us and teach us how to be Spiritually Lead, instead of emotionally and naturally lead.

I ask of Him to HELP my Family as He has put all of you on my heart, just as I seek His Help and Will for my natural family. And for them I am always seeking His All to be poured out for us as every Day and every month we are in need...And I know that our Need calls out to Him before I even open my mouth, Amen.

He supplies everything that we need--it is up to us to take hold of what He supplies and use them as He directs.  Accepting how He does what He does and the timing of His help.
We must have the Gifts of The Spirit Living and Growing, Maturing in us before we can atempt to live out the Beatitude in His Name.

Gal 5
Matthew 5

Saying that you trust Him and have Faith in Him that you Believe Him--but don't actually turn these good sounding words into Action is empty and shallow.  You will only be following your own will and flesh, not the Lord's Will for your life.

Complete Help for my Family do I pray the Lord for.

Stay in your right mind adn a mind focused and thinking aout Him and His Glory...

We Must completely obey His Will without hesitation if we are to realize the Blessings...Yes the Path is Straight and Narrow that leads to His Kingdom...Yes it is difficult at times , yes, you may be tempted at times to pull away from The Straight and Narrow path...Yes, you will get tired, and lonely, and frustrated, and irritated and so many other human emotional feelings....

And Yes, by calling on Him, maintaining your living connection with Him, talking to Him, singing to Him, asking Him which way to go and what to say and then WAITING on His answers..All things we are called to do Can and Will Be Done through His strength and Love...not ours.....Listen for His guidance then you will know when you are in need of physical and Spiritual REST in Him.


We live by His Promises knowing they are true and that He Will do as He has said He will.
We Must Trust Him Wholly With Everything! Doubt will cause delays...Are you trusting Him with All or not?
It gets easier As You Do It....

If any of us turns aside and follows our own will, surely we will end up on paths of detours where His Fruits of The Spirit Do Not Grow, and in places where His Blessings Are Not Poured Out for us or in us. As with myself,  I'm sure that many of you have experienced times like these in your life...when you knew the Lord had not told you to do something and you did it anyway.....And I Hope that you called out to Him to Come and Get you out of the mess that you put yourself into...and so He Will.

We must remember in rocky times that we have spoken to the Lord A "YES Lord", Use me as you have planned---with that willingly given 'YES", comes so much that we had no clue about....some troubles, some trials and tests, some pruning and purging--Some work in places with people that on our own we would never have stepped toward....

These places and people are His Lost Sheep--Not Ours!  This is why we must follow and obey Him when He directs us toward specific places and people---And to do without Hesitation what He says to do.
We cannot pick and choose who and when we will help...if we do that, then we are not moving in His Spirit but by our flesh.

We long to be used as a Blessing by Him to help His people in  this world that has so many sorrows....He has placed this in our hearts....Just as He has placed all of you on my heart to pray for and to help praise your way through!

Do you know understand that He has answered your prayers?  This is why once you answered 'YES LORD", you must stay in close contact with Him, every day!

People will buy a cell phone for every person in their family so that they can stay connected and in touch with each other through out every day....they will pay those cell phone bills in a snap!  Even pray to the Lord for help to pay them...but they will not daily stay in contact, in touch with the Lord,  nor teach their children how to have a relationship with Jesus, nor how to pray and listen to Him every day....

Something to think about....isn't it?

Through the witnessing of 'us' growing through each challenge, rising to meet each and every Work that He sends us on, because we speak Faith to Power out loud, and suffer for Him, we show so many others how we have Courage that could ONLY come by Way of Divine Help.

This Divine Help is our Daily Perpetual Guidance From our Lord, through His Holy Spirit.

I have an Abundant amount of Joy from knowing that every detail of my life is planned by my Loving and Good Mother....these plans that She built on a Wealth of tenderness and love just for me and my natural family, And for my Spiritual Family...You!

We are A Living Letter of Jesus Christ....What is someone going to learn if they began to Read your life?  

Jesus said that all would know His followers, His sheep by their Fruit...have you checked to see what is growing out of your heart lately?  Is it Fruit that would honor the Lord or the flesh?


"3What we have seen and [ourselves] heard, we are also telling you, so that you too may [a]realize and enjoy fellowship as partners and partakers with us. And [this] fellowship that we have [which is a [b]distinguishing mark of Christians] is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ (the Messiah)."

NOTES OF ENCOURAGEMENT & TRUTH TO MYSELF....


And Hopefully You will also be encouraged and strengthened......In the name Of Jesus, Amen.
 

Prayers ending on a High Note of Praise, Joy, and Expectation in the Lord...

The visions the Lord has so lovingly placed in my heart, fills every area of my natural and Spiritual being.....
It is my container to move from here to there....His love is my impetus....

He corrects me-preparing me for leadership-which is critical to the definition of what I see through His Eyes.  To put the vision into motion and bring it to completion, I must continue to be willing and teachable, humbled...to be prepared by Him....and so I am...

It is not a valid point at all that others do not see what I see--the important point of my visions, is that they are within me and that God is already there at the beginning, in the middle and at the completion of them.


He Is already in Place to carry me through the processes of their completion.


He has manifested His Love, His Kingdom, His Glory within me-- this and more will provide the leadership necessary for each step that I take with Him. I without doubt know this...though my human condition is always in need of His comfort, assurances and presence, He knows this and He gives Freely as I seek....Amen.


Joshua 1:3-9




It has been an uphill climb that You my Father have led me on,  I trust, I know that things will begin to level out very soon...That is Your Way.

I trust that the leveling out will also be a process and I will not become discouraged if I do not see some results immediately...


What You have poured into me, I have grown into a place and space of unquestioning Faith in You--a Place in You where I am calmly within Spiritual Faith And, I patiently await Your next move...


You have taught me to have Quiet Trust which is very important at this juncture....The Trust of a child who brings to her mother a tangled, knotted string to fix, but does not stand there anxiously waiting, wondering if her mother
'can fix it'....but drops the string in her lap knowing without any doubt that the tangled knotted string will be repaired; the child turns to continue her work of playing....

You, my Lord are fixing things concerning my life, my heart, my character that need to be fixed...Such an intimate task, a very personal Love do you have for me and my family that which You Will accomplish.....


 "But it is good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust in the Lord God and made Him my refuge, that I may tell of all Your works."
Psalm 73:28




 You, my Lord see the hearts of Your intercessors and You hear the earnestness of our prayers...Through the Gift of Faith in us --I watch and discern....
My prayers and Praise do not come from human faith, but through a divine Faith that requires an Answer from You!
Yes my Father, elevate my focus so that I will continue to be able to see through Your Eyes and Will pray according to Your Will!

My dearest Mother, I know that You are guiding me into a realm of Greater Expectation as You move me deeper into Your Divine Purpose for my life.....I am grateful....

I Cor. 12:7-11

I express my Faith in You as Your instrument of Praise and Love...My Trust sings of Your Faithfulness from the moment Your Love awakens me in the morning til it comforts me to sleep at night

 I know to end all my Prayers on a Note of Joy Filled Praise...this Note of Praise, so You have taught me, is not only my Divine Faith rising up through my difficulties to greet You...It is more ....
It is born from my heart on the waves of Your Spirit, it echos that my HELP is on the Way....

Through my Trusting You with Quiet, unquestioning Faith and Love , I am able to sense the approach of You and I rejoice for truly and verily My deliverance draws near!

I will continue to take Each Day as a Joyous sunrise Gift from You...that my simple daily tasks are done in Your Strength and Love....bringing to me the consciousness of All my Highest Hopes......I Expect Great things through my struggles and sacrifices done in Your name in obedience to Your directions....

I EXPECT GREAT THINGS OF YOU MY LORD!
In the name of Jesus, I thank you as I know You Father, have heard me and have answered me, Amen.

"This is the day which the Lord has brought about; we will rejoice and be glad in it!"Psalm 118
