SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND

JANUARY 2025

January 22, 2025: Establish peace in your heart. You can do this by resolving the issues that cause you to worry and take you off course. Deal with problems that you have authority over, and release the things that you can do nothing about. Bring those things that concern you to Me in prayer, says the Lord. Philippians 4:6-7 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

January 21, 2025: Through spiritual righteousness you can escape the penalty of sin, which is death and separation from God. Make every effort to do good and be good in every aspect of living and being, and draw near to the Lord always. You have been given the power of free will to choose your destiny. Romans 8:1-4 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

January 20, 2025: Take advantage of every opportunity to be empathetic and compassionate for the suffering of others. I have given you an understanding heart because of the situations and circumstances you have faced in the past and overcome. Pray earnestly for those who need a breakthrough. Ephesians 4:32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

January 19, 2025: You have been in a time of reflection, which is a good thing sometimes. But, you must not get stuck in a place of regret for some of the choices you made. What is done is done. Leave the past behind and move forward in hope and faith for a better future. I am with you to guide you and direct your steps. Do not be afraid. Roman 8:1-2 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.

January 18, 2025: You have come to a place of understanding why you are where you are, and you have made great progress in leaving the past behind. Now it is time to look ahead and establish goals for the future. Bring more clarity to what you want or need to accomplish in the days ahead. Begin to outline and formulate your desires. Philippians 3:12-14 Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

January 17, 2025: Take time out from all of the distractions of life to spend time in My presence, says the Lord. Do not just say a prayer and be on your way; truly connect quietly and spiritually. Receive the essence of goodness and blessings that have been stored up for you. Be filled with possibilities and hope for the future. I am for you and with you. Jeremiah 29:11-12 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.

January 16, 2025: Issues that have been long standing will finally come to resolution, and you will feel like you are back in a familiar flow of life and spirit. There will be a sense of being able to breathe again in a place that is recognizable. Romans 15:13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

January 15, 2025: Take the next step in your progression. It may be a small step, but still significant in not getting stuck. Keep moving and growing in strength and grace, and be sure to give others the benefit of the doubt. Exercise respect and spiritual poise, says the Lord. Ephesians 4:32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

January 14, 2025: There are things that you have put off doing that need to be done. Now is the time to take the proverbial bull by the horns, put dread aside, and get started. Procrastination is not a good look for you. Proverbs 24:33-34 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest; so shall your poverty come like a prowler, and your need like an armed man.

January 13, 2025: When you find that you are wearing thin, take some time for yourself to rejuvenate. Be kind to yourself, and give yourself a break. Put all of your worries away until you can see yourself as I see you, says the Lord. Remember that I am with you always. 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.

January 12, 2025: Beloved, it is My desire that you would reach a level of being habitually conscious of My Spirit. That is to walk and live in the Spirit and never deviate from being one with Me, says the Lord. This will take deliberate effort and determination in the beginning, but if you persist it will become as natural as breathing. John 4:24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.

January 11, 2025: As you leave the past behind, set your heart and focus on where you are now and where you are going. Grab hold of faith and hope for your future, and take your first steps in accomplishing better things. Never forget that I am with you always. John 14:16-17 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever--the Spirit of truth whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.

January 10, 2025: You are living in complicated times with intricate issues both worldly and personally. Refuse to allow the enemy to convince you that you are stupid. Ask Me, says the Lord, and I will bring clarity to every tangled and complex matter. Proverbs 2:6-8 For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding; He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk uprightly; He guards the paths of justice, and preserves the way of His saints.

JANUARY 9, 2025: Do not be disheartened if others do not appreciate your efforts. What you do is not because of them; it is because I have called you to be all you can be and to do all that you do, says the Lord. Revelation 22:12-13 And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.

January 8, 2025: Put your faith in action, not only through prayer, but by truly believing that I hear and answer your prayers, says the Lord. It is faith that opens the door for you to receive. Refuse to allow difficult circumstances to override your trust in Me. Mark 9:23 If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.

January 7, 2025: Procrastination is your enemy that fills you with dread and causese you to be anxious. You must set your will to do what needs to be done today and every day. Do not put off until tomorrow what you can accomplish today. Ask for help, and I will help you, says the Lord. Proverbs 21:25-26 The desire of the lazy man kills him, for his hands refuse to labor. He covets greedily all day long, but the righteous gives and does not spare. He covets greedily all day long, but the righteous gives and does not spare.

January 6, 2025: For those who have been anxious about what could or might happen in the future, put your faith in Me to help you navigate every challenge. You can overcome your worst fears knowing that I am for you and with you in all things, says the Lord. Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.

January 5, 2025: We are in a new year, a new cycle. It will be full of challenges and opportunities to put the word of God into practice. We will have plenty of chances to succeed or to fail; to walk in the Spirit or live in the flesh. We will either grow because of our experience or we can give up. Every day is a new day; begin with a clean slate. Philippians 3:13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead.

January 4, 2025: To those who have been under a great deal of stress and tension, you must set your heart and mind to purposefully relax. The strain is not good for you emotionally, mentally or spiritually. Release your concerns by putting your trust in Me, says the Lord. I will direct your steps. 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.

January 3, 2025: Set your heart to be the best version of yourself you can be. When you make mistakes, fix what you can, and remember that you do not have to kick yourself around the block. It is your heart and intentions that count. And, you will be rewarded for your effort to make things right, says the Lord. Proverbs 28:13 He who covers his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.

January 2, 2025: You will have a tendency to get overwhelmed with all that needs to be done to get on board with the new year. You must take one thing at a time, one day at a time to reorient yourself and settle in. Be kind to yourself and others in this process. Ephesians 4:31-32 Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

January 1, 2025: I had been praying for direction for the new year when I looked out my window to see the number 73 etched in the landscape in my view. I had never seen that before, and believed it was a sign from the Lord. In my research for the meaning of that number I found that 73 is a powerful and positive sign. It signifies spiritual growth, personal development, and creativity. When I looked again to see the number in the landscape it was no longer there, and I knew it was the supernatural answer to my prayer. So, let us look forward to a new and productive year. Ephesians 3:14-21 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and height--to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.

DECEMBER 2024

December 31, 2024: This is a time when it will be vital to exhibit the fruit of the Spirit. Rise above your carnal nature and give those around you a break from scrutiny and judgment, whether it is expressed outwardly or just in your thoughts. Either way, it is a curse. Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

December 30, 2024: When it seems you are in a crisis, do not panic. Take the time to assess your situation and pray for wisdom. You are a child of God and precious in His sight. Trust in Him to make a way where there seems to be no way. Isaiah 42:16 I will bring the blind by a way they did not know; I will lead them in paths they have not known. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. These things I will do for them, and not forsake them

December 29, 2024: Refuse to allow your exasperation to affect those around you. You must quiet your soul and find a place of peace where you can actually evaluate where you are and what you need to do. Going in circles is not the way to progress. Be still and know that I will show you the way, says the Lord. Psalm 25:4-5 Show me Your ways, O Lord; teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; on You I wait all the day.

December 28, 2024: You will find ways to solve problems that have plagued you for a while. It will most likely be something simple that you have not thought about until now, but it will be efficient and effective. Matthew 7:7-8 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

December 27, 2024: Set yourself to have a positive attitude as you forge ahead. Remember that I am with you every step of the way. You are not alone. I am truly your very present help, and you can rely on Me. Psalm 46:1-3 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, even thought the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though its waters roar and be troubled, through the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah

December 26, 2024: Contemplate your errors in judgment, but refuse to dump down in condemnation. Mistakes are part of life that you can learn from and make adjustments, but condemning yourself does no good at all. Move on knowing that you will do better next time. John 8:9-11 Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her: Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you? She said, no one, Lord, and Jesus said to her, neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.

December 25, 2024: Set aside time to spend in My presence and receive the benefits of being in the Spirit where you will find restoration and renewal. Whether you are aware of it or not, you need to refocus and reset. Colossians 3:1-3 If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

December 24, 2024: Make today a day of forgiveness for those who have sinned against you. Prepare yourself to be free of agitation and resentment so that you can enjoy the true meaning of Christmas. Jesus Christ was born, lived, and died to give us everlasting life in Him. Let your best gift to others be that of freedom from your own wrath. Matthew 6:14-15 For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

December 23, 2024: It is time to get caught up on tasks that you have neglected. Otherwise they will weigh you down and hinder your progress going forward. Begin again with a clean slate, knowing that there is nothing that can hold you back or trip you up. Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.

December 22, 2024: For those who acknowledge and walk with Me, I am making a way that you can follow. Do not be afraid to miss what I am doing in your life. I truly am for you and not against you. You are My own special treasure. Embrace this spiritual reality, and do not doubt the love that I have for you, says the Lord. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

December 21, 2024: If you want things to be different, you must take the first step to make them different. Unless, of course, change is not within the boundaries of your authority. There are things you can do something about and things you cannot. Stay within the confines of your limitations. Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

December 20, 2024: You will be inclined to think about the past and all of the ways you have been hurt, but this will not be helpful. Those times are behind you, and dwelling on them will not change anything. You must forgive and move on. Otherwise, you will get stuck in a cycle of never-ending remorse. 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.

December 19, 2024: Rise up out of the dead ashes of the past to face a brand new day. Begin again with renewed hope, and refuse to allow the devil to steal your sense of value and commitment to life in the Spirit. Ephesians 6:10-11 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

December 18, 2024: You will have an opportunity to help someone who needs to be encouraged and to know that someone cares. I will fill your heart with compassion for those less fortunate. Go forth in the strength of My Spirit and love to be My emissary, says the Lord. Luke 6:38 Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.

December 17, 2024: This is a time when your perspective of life and relevance will undergo an adjustment. You will be able to see the cycle of life with greater understanding and clarity. Use this time to do all that you can to fulfill your destiny in Me, says the Lord. I am your past, your present, and your future. John 16:13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.

December 16, 2024: There are plenty of people who will beat you up for making a mistake, but that does not mean that you must whip yourself also. Fix what you can when you can and move on. Nobody on the earth is perfect, but that does not mean that you should not try to do the best you can in every situation. Gather your strength and forge ahead. Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.

December 15, 2024: I am with you in times of trouble and in the midst of difficulties. Know that if you look for Me I will be found. If you will take one step towards Me, I will take a giant leap towards you. I will present Myself in ways that you would never expect, but in ways that will be exactly what you need at this moment, says the Lord. Psalm 27:13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

December 14, 2024: To those who have a heart to be helpful, be mindful of the limitations of your strength and energy. Take time to rest and recharge, and be kind to yourself. Spend time in My presence so that your discernment is sharp and directives are clear. 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.

December 13, 2024: In a vision I saw a field of alfalfa being harvested in three steps. First the mowing, then the raking, and finally the baling. I believe the Lord is showing us that we are coming into a season of the spiritual harvest of reaping rewards of our labor. Galatians 6:7-9 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.

December 12, 2024: Faith is your friend, and worry is your enemy. When you are caught between a rock and a hard place, trust that I will show you the way out of your dilemma. I will give you the resources necessary to accomplish what I have given you to do, says the Lord, and not what you have taken upon yourself to do. Be sensitive to the moving of My Spirit. Psalm 9:9-10 The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; for You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.

December 11, 2024: Regardless of your own personal difficulties and condition, you can always help someone less fortunate than yourself. Evaluate the kindness that you can extend or the time you can spend in prayer on their behalf. The more time you spend on others will mean the less time you can spend on yourself, especially in selfish ambition or self-pity. Philippians 2:3-4 Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.

December 10, 2024: There is a limit as to what you can do with physical, emotional, mental and financial resources. Be mindful of your limitations and stay within your boundaries. Do not take on more than you can effectively handle. In this season you will be tempted to throw caution and constraint to the wind and do things you will regret. 1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.

December 9, 2024: Being overwhelmed is a condition of the soul that can only be remedied by taking one issue at a time and dealing with it to the best of your ability until there is nothing else that needs your attention. One day at a time; one step at a time until you have peace. Matthew 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

December 8, 2024: When you become careless and lose the ground you have gained, stop and evaluate how and where you got off, and strengthen your resolve to achieve again what you had. It is not too late to get back to where you were, But it will take self-discipline. Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

December 7, 2024: Examine your life and conditions to discover those things that have outlived their usefulness. It is time to prepare to move forward in the upcoming season of new beginnings. But, you have to leave behind that which will keep you anchored to the past. Allow flexibility to replace rigidity. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

December 6, 2024: You need to adjust your thoughts and expectations to express the reality of your current position. There are things you must do in both the spiritual and natural realm that will enhance the truth of where you are headed. Above all trust Me to bring you through this time without a hitch. James 1:6-8 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for 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.

December 5, 2024: Quiet your soul, and allow spiritual regeneration to rule the day. That does not mean that you do nothing; it means that you stop worrying and fretting over things that are actually beyond your ability to change. Remember that I am your help in trouble and that you can cast your cares upon Me, says the Lord. Psalm 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!

December 4, 2024: Refuse to allow shame and regret to continue to haunt you. You have repented and changed the course of your life. It is the purpose of the enemy to torment you, but you are redeemed and forgiven by the precious blood of Christ. It is truly time to move on. 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

December 3, 2024: Maintain your composure in the days ahead. You are likely to step outside the boundaries of normalcy and exhibit unusual behavior. So, set a watch and spend time in My presence, says the Lord, where you can regain spiritual balance. Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

December 2, 2024: You will be making decisions that will affect other people, so you must be mindful that you will influence those around you. Make a plan, but do not act on it until you know that is the will of God. You will know that because you will have peace of mind about the changes you will make. Philippians 2:12-13 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.

December 1, 2024: No matter how precarious the atmosphere feels to you, I hold you in the palm of My hand. You can depend on Me to bring you through every uncertain situation and secure your spiritual position. Things around you may be unpredictable and scary, but I am your very present help in times of trouble. Believe it! Psalm 46:1-3 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

NOVEMBER 2024

November 30, 2024: Stop for a short time and prepare yourself for what is ahead before you continue on. It is time to think and reorganize before you proceed. Make sure you are in the flow of the Spirit, for these days will challenge you to the core of your being if you are not prepared. Ephesians 3:14-19 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you according to the riches of His glory to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height--to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

November 29, 2024: Be done with self-doubt and condemnation. You can do this by not focusing on yourself. Set your heart and mind on things above and not on things below. Seek spiritual truth where you know that you are loved and valued. You are a child of God. Never doubt that. Romans 8:1: There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

November 28, 2024: Stay strong and refuse to be distracted from what you know to be right and true. Never lose your focus on spiritual truth. Maintain peace and harmony. Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Ephesians 6:9-10 10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

November 27, 2024: You are entering a season of new beginnings. Things may not be according to what you have imagined, but it will be a time of spiritual growth and development like none other. It will be as though you are looking through a different lens where your life will take on new meaning, and you will never be the same again. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

November 26, 2024: Put aside your sense of dread and of being overwhelmed. You have projected out to the days ahead and have allowed fear to creep in. Settle yourself in the assurance that no matter your expectations or circumstances, you will be able to take things minute by minute, one day at a time, and you will be able to do all that is necessary. Psalm 56:3-4 Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You. In God (I will praise His word), in God I have put my trust; I will not fear. What can flesh do to me?

November 25, 2024: You are constantly evolving. You are not who you were last year, last month or even yesterday. The changes are sometimes indistinguishable, but real nonetheless. You would do well to allow spiritual intervention to chart your course. Earnestly seek for wisdom in every circumstance. Isaiah 64:8 But now, O Lord, You are our Father; we are the clay, and You our potter; and all we are the work of Your hand.

November 24, 2024: You must rise above worldly chaos in order to live in the Spirit. Only then can you serve God and enjoy His protection. Be diligent to guard your soul and reap the benefits of unity in the spirit. Ephesians 4:1-3 I, therefore, the prisoner [a]of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

November 23, 2024: The things that have dragged you down to despair are not as bad as you thought. There is hope both in the natural realm and in the spirit that you have not considered. It is time for you to rally and rejoice in the knowledge that you are not alone or without help. You have a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

November 22, 2024: When you think that you cannot endure the circumstances you face at this time, remind yourself that I am with you to bring you through. I, the Lord, am your strength and your shield, your very present help in times of trouble. Access that supernatural strength by faith, and take the next step. Psalm 46:1-3 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

November 21, 2024: Refuse to get overwhelmed by the sadness of this season. Take life as it comes and I will give you the grace to navigate through difficult circumstances. I am your very present help in times of trouble, so lean on Me to bring you through to a place of peace, says the Lord. Psalm 46:1-4 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. There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High.

November 20, 2024: The winds of change are blowing, and you can sense the shift. You must stay solidly anchored to Me, says the Lord. This is not a time to be blown away by your circumstances. Take one day at a time and do the best you can to stay focused on things that are good and pure. Hebrews 6:19-20 This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil, where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

November 19, 2024: My beloved child, do not waste your time worrying about the future, and what might be or what you might have to do. You belong to Me, says the Lord, and I will direct your steps. Establish your faith in that truth. I will never leave you nor forsake you. Take every day as it comes and do what needs to be done right here and right now. Matthew 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

November 18, 2024: When you feel undone and scattered, focus your thoughts on that which is the most vital to where you are right now. You can only take one step at a time, so make sure that every step counts in your progression. You are not where you were, but you are not where you are headed either. Stay current. Matthew 11:28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

November 17, 2024: When you pray, do not speak to the air. Search for Me until you find Me and connect with Me, says the Lord. Come in faith without any unbelief or doubt. You have to be convinced that I will hear and answer your prayer. James 1:5-8 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for 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.

November 16, 2024: Examine the things that have caused you to be upset. If there is something you can do to make changes, do so. But, if there is nothing you can do, accept it and move on. You would do well to put it behind you and take the next step in drawing closer to Me, says the Lord. Your fruitless striving drives a wedge between us. Proverbs 20:3 It is honorable for a man to stop striving, since any fool can start a quarrel.

November 15, 2024: The world around you feels ominous at times, but know that I am your Protector and Guide. I will not let you down. Lean on Me for comfort and assurance that you are in My care, says the Lord. You are precious to Me. 2 Thessalonians 3:3 But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one.

November 14, 2024: It is good to take a day off from all of your busyness, but it is not good to become lazy and to do nothing day after day, allowing laziness to become a habit. Examine your life to see what needs to be done to come into order, and then you must take the first step and every step after that to succeed. You will not regret it. Proverbs 13:4 The soul of the lazy man desires, and has nothing; but the soul of the diligent shall be made rich.

November 13, 2024: When you feel lost in an unfamiliar environment it is because you are entering unknown spiritual territory. You just have to go with the flow and embrace the change. It will be like waking up in a new space where you need to get your bearings. You will be okay. Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.

November 12, 2024: You are going through a season of feeling like you are being used without reward, but you must remember that I will reward you nonetheless. I see your heart and know your motives, and you have nothing to be ashamed of as long as you do what I have called and chosen for you. Forgive those who have belittled you and move on. Colossians 3:23-24 Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward.

November 11, 2024: You will begin to have revelation about how to manage your life more efficiently, which will result in being more effective. It is not that you are off course, but that you will be more successful in what you have been given to do. Be flexible as you progress. Proverbs 16:3 3 Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established.

November 10, 2024: You are in a spiritual pause. Take this time to reflect on the progress you have made and see how far you have come. You are about to enter into a phase of preparation for that which is ahead. But, you do not have to be afraid that you will miss the next move of My Spirit. It is I who will prepare you and position you to accomplish My will, says the Lord. Move with the flow of My Spirit. Galatians 5:16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

November 9, 2024: There are people who disagree with you or decide they do not like you, but you must not dwell on those possibilities. You were not called to please people; you are called to belong to Me so that you can thrive spiritually and eternally, says the Lord. This is a time to sort out and get your priorities straight. I am with you to show you the way. Galatians 1:10 10 For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.

November 8, 2024: Examine yourself to see if you have gotten off course spiritually or naturally. It is vital that you make the necessary corrections so that you can proceed with the assurance that you are in the flow of the Spirit and in harmony with what you have been called to do and to be, says the Lord. Only then will you thrive. Proverbs 4:25-27 Let your eyes look straight ahead, and your eyelids look right before you. Ponder the path of your feet, and let all your ways be established. Do not turn to the right or the left; remove your foot from evil.

November 7, 2024: This is a time of transition. You are not where you were, and you are not yet where you are going. Exercise patience and maintain your faith and hope as you go through this season of adjustment. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

November 6, 2024: You will have an opportunity to remedy an ongoing problem. But, you must be sensitive to the leading of My Spirit and not allow your flesh to rule. Listen for the still small voice within you, and be obedient to divine direction, says the Lord. 1 Kings 19:11-12 Then He said: Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord. And behold the Lord passed by, and a great strong wind tore into the mountain and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.

November 5, 2024: Release all of your worries and concerns to Me. If you could have done anything about them, you would have. Settle into a place of quiet serenity where you can heal from past wounds and uncertainty. I am your strength and your courage to move into the next phase of existence, says the Lord. Philippians 4:6-7 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

November 4, 2024: Do not underestimate your ability to come out of this funk. Stay focused on the positive aspects of where you are and what you are doing, and be done with condemnation. I have not condemned you, says the Lord. I have brought you to a higher place spiritually through the things you have suffered. Take your rightful position in Me. Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

November 3, 2024: Beloved, I want you to take care of your spirit life like you would care for an infant child. You need to feed it, protect and nurture it. You need to keep it alive and growing. When you neglect it, it will wither and die and become a thing of the past, a dim memory. Your spirit life is your future, your destiny, and your eternity. John 17:3 And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.

November 2, 2024: So, you got your feelings hurt? That doesn't make you any less of a person or treasure to Me, says the Lord. Pick yourself up, forgive, receive forgiveness, and move on. You are of great value to Me and those around you. Be still and know that I am God and that I am for you and not against you. Romans 8:30-31 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified. What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

November 1, 2024: When you have been through a harrowing experience, take the time to deliberately reboot your thought process so that you do not become a victim of circumstances. Exercise your right to be victorious in all things; up and not down, above and not beneath. Victory is assured. Romans 8:37-39 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

OCTOBER 2024

October 31, 2024: You fuss and worry about too many things. You need to settle into a place of trusting Me in every situation and know that I am not only aware of what is happening, I will lead you through every valley and place you on a mountain top where you can see clearly, says the Lord. Worry will lead to presumption and can take you off course. Put your trust in Me. Psalm 56:3-4 Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You. In God (I will praise His word), in God I have put my trust; I will not fear. What can flesh do to me?

October 30, 2024: Check yourself and see if I am still your first love, says the Lord. Do you continue to have a zeal to live your life serving Me, or have you made prayer another chore? It is time to stir yourself up and renew your fervor to have real relationship with Me instead of your service being just a habit. Hebrews 10:22-23 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.

October 29, 2024: In a dream I was preparing for a wedding. It was never clear who was getting married, but the preparations were not in a building, but rather in a beautiful mountain meadow with a stream of water running through it and beautiful wild flowers. People from all over the countryside were beginning to gather in the excitement of preparation. I was trying to come up with an estimate of the amount of food that would be necessary for the event. Revelation 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.

October 28, 2024: This is a good time to take inventory of where you are in life, what you believe, what is important to your ability to thrive, and what your goals are. Only then can you adjust your daily life to fit your needs and desires. And, do not forget to factor in your relationship to Me, says the Lord. Matthew 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

October 27, 2024: Position yourself for a new beginning that will follow the changes over the last months that have brought you to a place of order and in alignment with My plans and purposes. Yield at this time to the moving of My Spirit as I bring you out of a spiritual desert. And, trust Me with your life, purpose, and destiny, says the Lord. You are embarking on a new day!Psalm 118:24 This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

October 26, 2024: Stand firm on what you know to be true in this season of conjecture. Keep your focus on what is right and good, and make the best of the time you have today. Be kind and maintain a generous heart towards your fellow human beings, says the Lord, and you will be rewarded. Proverbs 11:25 The generous soul will be made rich, and he who waters will also be watered himself.

October 25, 2024: Being off-balance mentally and emotionally is often the result of having your routine interrupted or having to deal with some kind of trauma. Go back to that which is familiar and reset. Come into My presence, for I am the same yesterday, today, and forever, says the Lord. Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

October 24, 2024: When you endure a difficult time, you need to reset by reminding yourself of where you are, who you are, and what is important to you. Reestablish your relationship to Me, says the Lord, for I will set you on the solid rock of faith and endurance. Your strength in life depends on your spiritual connection. Be strong. Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.

October 23, 2024: Leave the past in the past. It does no good to recount your sins. You have repented, and the blood of Christ has covered you. You have been washed clean by His blood. Be done with self-loathing. Take your rightful place as a precious child of God, and accept His forgiveness. Psalm 32:1-2 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.

October 22, 2024: You are entering a phase of simplicity, if you will accept it. There are things that you can eliminate from the list of demands on your time and energy that will result in clarity of purpose and strength of resolve to eliminate that which is unnecessary. This is a time to simplify and fortify. 2 Corinthians 1:12 For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that we conducted ourselves in the world in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom but by the grace of God, and more abundantly toward you.

October 21, 2024: Set your mind on things above instead of worrying about what is ahead. You do not know what tomorrow or next week or next year will bring. Even your best guess is conjecture. Stay current, and the day will unfold as it will. Take it as it comes with a sense of faith and clarity, says the Lord. Matthew 6:33-34 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

October 20, 2024: Before the new season begins in earnest, it would be good for you to evaluate and make necessary changes to that which is not working effectively. The corrections will tend to be small adjustments rather than large, sweeping revisions. Be sensitive to the leading of My Spirit to show you exactly what requires your attention at this time, says the Lord. Proverbs 10:17 He who keeps instruction is in the way of life, but he who refuses correction goes astray.

October 19, 2024: Whenever you get discombobulated do not panic. Quiet your soul, and come into My presence, says the Lord. Being alarmed will not help, but will only make things worse. Allow these days to be a time of quiet contemplation and discernment. Psalm 62:1-2 Truly my soul silently waits for God; from Him comes my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved.e October 18, 2024: Evaluate where you are physically, mentally, and emotionally so that you can make the changes that are necessary to your well-being. There are places of procrastination that will impede your progress both spiritually and naturally. Take yourself by the scruff of your neck and the seat of your pants and take the next step in doing what needs to be done. The result will be an astounding sense of freedom. Proverbs 13:4 The soul of a lazy man desires, and has nothing; But the soul of the diligent shall be made rich.

October 17, 2024: See that you do not become weary of doing good even when you feel used and unrewarded. Set your heart to know that you do not need accolades for doing what you have been given to do. Just give it your all, and know that you will reap whatever you sow. Galatians 6:7-8 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.

October 16, 2024: You can look back and reflect and regret the things you have done until you are exhausted. It will change nothing. You were not perfect then, and you will not be perfect today. But, you can put the past behind you, and set your heart to be the best version possible of yourself today. Seek Me for guidance and direction, says the Lord. Philippians 3:12-14 Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

October 15, 2024: Take a deep breath. You have been here before and have gained the victory. This is no different. Set yourself to stay calm and do not doubt the breakthrough that is coming. Exercise quiet reserve and patience. Ecclesiastes 7:8 The end of a thing is better than its beginning, and the patient in spirit is better than a proud in spirit.

October 14, 2024: Be gentle with yourself. You need healing both emotionally and physically, and beating yourself up because you do not feel like you measure up will only be harmful. Give yourself to Me, says the Lord, and I will heal you and set you free. I will treat you with the utmost care. 1 Peter 5:6-7 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

October 13, 2024: Stir yourself up and renew your faith. Yes, there have been disappointments and setbacks, but those things can serve to strengthen you spiritual resolve. It depends on whether you choose to be a victim or to rise up to be an overcomer. You can allow your past difficulties to anchor you where you are. Or, you can allow them to fuel the next phase of your destiny, says the Lord. Psalm 84:5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, whose heart is set on pilgrimage.

October 12, 2024: Refuse to allow the behavior of others to get you down, but rather have compassion and exercise understanding. These seem to be the days of criticism and measuring others according to your unspoken standards. This is a time to do unto others as you would have them do to you. Matthew 18:33 Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?

October 11, 2024: When those around you need encouragement, take the time and make the effort to lift them up and make sure they know that you care. Sometimes it only takes a kind word to make a difference. It will cost you nothing, but could mean everything to someone you encounter. Galatians 5:22-25 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christs have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

October 10, 2024: Perfect order brings perfect peace. Being out of order complicates every aspect of your being and doing. Take the time to recognize what you need to do to make changes that will not only simplify but fortify your life and purpose. And then, do it. You will be amazed by how small changes can make a big difference. 1 Corinthians 14:40 Let all things be done decently and in order.

October 9, 2024: There are things you can change and things you cannot change. Do not waste your time and energy on the impossible, but rather focus on what is possible and righteous. You can scream your head off, but if no one is listening, you might as well be silent. Prayer changes things. Psalm 139:1-4 O Lord, You have searched me and known me. You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off, You comprehend my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word on my tongue, but behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.

October 8, 2024: There are things that you must forgive and forget in order to embrace the next leg of your journey. You must not get stuck in things that are trivial, but move on to embrace that which is consequential and necessary for spiritual growth. Never let your pride get in the way of holiness. 1 Peter 1:14-16 As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: Be holy, because I am holy.

October 7, 2024: You might find that you have been defeated, but you are not destroyed. Continue to press through difficulties of this time with consistency and strength of will. Stay within the confines of what is spiritually and morally correct, and rely on supernatural help to gain the victory, says the Lord. 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.

October 6, 2024: Reset! It is time to recognize the need to start over. Wipe the slate clean and begin again by getting your priorities in order and doing what is important for this season. Everything in the past has brought you to this point in your life. Take stock of what you want to take with you into the next phase of your existence and what you want to leave behind, and then do it. Be brave and resolute. Isaiah 50:7 For the Lord God will help me; therefore I will not be disgraced; therefore I have set my face like flint, and I know that I will not be ashamed.

October 5, 2024: Count your blessings and be grateful. It is only by the grace of God that you can access His divine presence. Remember your first love, and His sacrifice that made turaeternal life available to you. Make your devotion to Jesus Christ your first priority every day. Only then will you truly prosper. Psalm 63:3-5 Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise You. Thus I will bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name. My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips.

October 4, 2024: When you are faced with a task that is out of your wheelhouse and beyond the realm of your expertise, do not hesitate to ask for help. You will not be diminished in any way except that your ego might be bruised a bit. These are days of reality and humility that will undoubtedly produce spiritual growth. James 4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

October 3, 2024: When you get off course, take the time to get back into routine. It is routine that causes you to prosper spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically. The enemy would love to get you into despair and confusion. Refuse to allow his intervention into your life and circumstances. 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed but not in despair; persecuted but not forsaken, struck down, but not destroyed.

October 2, 2024: Be thankful, and pray for those less fortunate. Remember that you belong to Me, and it is only by grace that you have what you have and do what you do. Always keep Me in your thoughts and allow Me to direct your steps, says the Lord. There is much to be thankful for. Ephesians 5:18-21 And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another in the fear of God.

October 1, 2024; When health issues continue to plague you, do not give up. Bolster your faith and seek Me earnestly for healing, says the Lord. Refuse to feel sorry for yourself, and never doubt My ability to perform miracles and to set you on the path of recovery. I am the God that heals. Psalm 30:1-2 I will extol You, O Lord, for You have lifted me up, and have not let my foes rejoice over me. O Lord my God, I cried out to You, and You healed me.

SEPTEMBER 2024

September 30, 2024: There are long-standing issues that need resolution. It seems like it has been forever, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Keep pressing on, and do not lose hope or give up. Victory is near. Romans 5:1-4 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope.

September 29, 2024: A call goes out to those who truly trust in Me and fulfill My purposes on the earth. I will bless those who wholeheartedly live a life of truth and righteousness; those who will represent honesty, justice and innocence in word and deed. Come, and allow your life to be an example of My goodness, says the Lord. Jeremiah 17:7-8 But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.

September 28, 2024: You must leave the past behind you if you want to progress. You cannot live in the past or entertain past regrets and move ahead at the same time. You will do one or the other. It is My will for you to be the best version of yourself here and now, says the Lord. With My help you can do that. Philippians 3:13-14 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

September 27, 2024: It is okay to look back and evaluate where you have been and what you have done, but you must not get stuck there. Endeavor to stay present with Me and with what I am doing in your life. There are lessons to be learned, goals to be attained, and things you will miss if you are not paying attention. Isaiah 43:18-19 Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

September 26, 2024: I am taking you in a direction that seems unfamiliar and strange at times, so you must pay attention and not leap ahead before you are sure of where you are going, says the Lord. You will be dealing with situations that seem to be beyond your ability to deal with, but trust Me to lead and direct your steps. Psalm 37:23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way.

September 25, 2024: Count your blessings and be thankful for all that you are, all that you know, all that you do, and all that you have. Remember that you are nothing, know nothing, do nothing, and have nothing apart from Me, says the Lord. But, by My grace and empowerment, you are able to enjoy blessings beyond imagination. Psalm 103:1-2 Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits.

September 24, 2024: Take the time to evaluate where you are in life and what you need to do next to fulfill your commitments. Your tendency is to do nothing, but there are still things that need to be done, both physically and spiritually. Ask for wisdom and direction when it feels like you are stuck right here. James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

September 23, 2024: You have had a long row to hoe, but you will begin to see the results of your efforts and be able to move on. Things that have been out of balance or difficult to find closure will now become a part of your personal history. Take a deep breath, and look to Me for the next step, says the Lord. I will show you the way. Psalm 32:8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.

September 22, 2024: Do what it takes to maintain life in the Spirit. Only then will you have the power to overcome the flesh and the works of the enemy. Set yourself to be spiritually aware and to keep your heart right with Me, says the Lord. Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

September 21, 2024: When you are going through a difficult time, do not stop. Keep moving. Keep forging ahead even when it seems like you are moving at a snail pace. Never doubt that I am with you and that I am your very present help in times of trouble. Be strong and unwavering. Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

September 20, 2024: Quiet your soul. Refuse to overreact to your circumstances. What you have been going through was momentary and not a dreadful trend. You will come through this time with greater understanding and resolve. You have been tested and found to be worthy, says the Lord. 1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.

September 19, 2024: The word for the day is patient continuance. You are making progress, but you are not there yet. Keep the faith, and do not lose hope that you will break through. The adjustments in your life are not yet finished. You are still coming into perfect and divine balance, 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.

September 18, 2024: This is a turn-around day. The areas of your life that have been a struggle can now be put behind you, and you will be able to make significant progress in moving ahead. Your faith and diligence will begin to pay off. The last thing you should do is give up before you have reached your goal. Galatians 6:9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.

September 17, 2024: In the strength of your will you can rise up out of the dead ashes of the past to embrace a new day with hope and courage. Today is a new day. Begin by finding your place of peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Be renewed and refreshed in My presence, says the Lord. 2 Timothy 1:1 7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

September 16, 2024: There is a spirit of fear being loosed on the whole world. Do not succumb to this attack. When you feel anxious, quiet your soul, and be pragmatic in making decisions before you forge ahead. Seek God for wisdom, quietly evaluate your options, and then do what is best for you to do. Psalm 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!

September 15, 2024: Make every effort to walk in righteousness. There is a world-wide epidemic of lunacy, but you must stay on the path of life that is becoming increasingly narrow. Stay connected to Me, says the Lord, and allow My Spirit to keep you in a place of truth and sincerity. You are indeed living in the days of the great falling away. 2Thessalonians 2:3: Let no one deceive you by any means; for there shall come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition".

September 14, 2024: You have been through a rough patch, but I say to you: Hang in there, keep the faith, the end of your suffering is near. Be sensitive to My leading, and do what I show you to do. Fear and dread only make things worse, so keep a positive attitude and look with hope to the future, says the Lord. Hebrews 11:1-3 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.

September 13, 2024: If you encounter an unpleasant surprise, stay calm and do what you can to get past it. You will have to dig deep to find the strength and resolve to deal with what seems like adding insult to injury, but you are well able to survive and even thrive. Keep your faith in Me to bring you through every circumstance, says the Lord. Isaiah 40:28-31 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall, but those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.

September 12, 2024: For those who have been suffering with seemingly no way out, your redemption is near. You will soon be able to break through into new territory that will manifest physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Stay focused on the truth and promises of My word, says the Lord. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

September 11, 2024: You have made such good plans, but some of them have not worked out. That is because they were based on what you imagine instead of reality. Begin again with what you know is right and true. You cannot predict how others will respond or fit in with your wishes or desires, so the only plans that really work are those which have to do with you as you endeavor to live and walk in the Spirit.Galatians 5:16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

September 10, 2024: These are days when it will be necessary to find a place of spiritual stability where you know absolutely and without a doubt that you belong to Me, says the Lord, and that I will lead, guide, and direct your steps. Release yourself from all doubt and fear, and put your trust completely in Me. Psalm 46:1-3 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

September 9, 2024: Take charge of your spiritual life, and fight hard against the wiles of the devil. He is an invader and a liar. His aim is to take you off course by creating fear, doubt, and unbelief. It is time to rise up in the Spirit and take your rightful position in the kingdom of God where you can find peace, joy and love. 1 John 2:4 He who says, I know Him, and does not keep his commandments, is a liar and the truth is not in him.

September 8, 2024: Long standing wounds, both mentally and physically, will begin a healing process that will set you free from your agony. Believe it and receive it, says the Lord. You are not alone in your suffering. I am with you always. Psalm 139:7-10 Where can I go from your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; if I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there Your hand shall lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me.

September 7, 2024: Be still and know that I will give you the wisdom and direction needed for the next step in your journey. You will be made aware of solutions to difficult problems and be able to move on. Position yourself to be sensitive to the moving of My Spirit, says the Lord. Psalm 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.

September 6, 2024: Change is on the horizon. Do not try to force change; just let it come. It will be nothing to worry about or lose sleep over. Stay focused and solid in your relationship with Me, says the Lord. Maintain spiritual diligence. Romans 12:2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what the will of God is--His good, pleasing and perfect will.

September 5, 2024: Find a place of serenity for your soul. The world around you is hectic and can affect your sense of peace and calm. You must deliberately choose to not allow your environment to trouble you. Be still and know that I am God. Psalm 46:9-10 He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth. He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the shields with fire. He says: Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.

September 4, 2024: It is time to reset and consider how you spend your time and energy. There are things you can do to maximize your effectiveness without overlooking things that are vital for your well being. It will require some planning before you forge ahead. Lean on Me for wisdom, says the Lord. James 1:5-6 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.

September 3, 2024: Many of you, My people, feel worn out and exhausted. You must rest to be rejuvenated, and take the time to come into My presence for spiritual restoration. You have given of yourself, and now it is time to receive and be refreshed and renewed, says the Lord. Matthew 11:28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

September 2, 2024: To those who are worried about what the future holds, you are wasting your time and energy. You need to stay focused on what you are facing today, and ask for wisdom for where you are now. I am with you here and will be with you in the future. I will both shut old doors and open new ones. Trust Me, says the Lord. Matthew 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

September 1, 2024: When things become too difficult, take the time to see how you can streamline your activities to make things easier on yourself and still fulfill your obligations. It is not good for you to live your life being overwhelmed. You need to find ways to release the stress and get your necessary rest. Matthew 11:28 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.

AUGUST 2024

August 31, 2024: These are days of evaluation, when you can review what is behind you in order to plan for what is ahead of you. Do this so that you can make informed decisions about how to proceed. But above all, seek My face for wisdom and direction, says the Lord. You can trust Me to direct your steps. Proverbs 16:9 The heart of a man plans his way but the Lord directs his steps.

August 30, 2024: This is a good time to tie up loose ends, to make good on your intentions and promises and to take care of issues where you have continued to procrastinate. This will help you go into the next season with a clean slate and the ability to move on unhindered. You will be glad you did. Proverbs 15:19 The way of the lazy man is like a hedge of thorns, but the way of the upright is a highway.

August 29, 2024: Exercise compassion for those in need. If there are things you can do to ease the burden, do so. You will be sowing seeds that will yield a harvest for you when you need help. Luke 6:38 Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.

August 28, 2024: When you feel spiritually like a tortoise in the desert, look to Me. I am your place of renewal and refreshment. Come to Me to be revitalized. Behold, I will do a new thing, so that you will know that I am with you, says the Lord. Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

August 27, 2024: Refuse to get stuck in trying to guess what the future will bring, and what you might have to do. Conjecture is not truth. Take every day as it comes and do the best you can with current circumstances. Matthew 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

August 26, 2024: Do not give in to self-degradation and under estimating your ability to do all that is necessary in this season. I have called you and chosen you for such a time as this, but you must position yourself to cooperate with My leading, says the Lord. As long as you believe you are not worthy or up to the task, you will not fulfill your destiny. All you have to do is believe that you can do all things that I set before you. Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

August 25, 2024: We are not of this world nor partakers of division. We are citizens of the Kingdom of God. Our allegiance is to the King of kings and Lord of lords. 1 John 5:20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

August 24, 2024: This is a time to reevaluate the use of your energy and to streamline your activities so that you can be more efficient. There are things you do by force of habit that are no longer relevant to your existence. Let go of those things so that you can move forward unhindered. Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

August 23, 2024: You can expect your life to smooth out and not be as hectic as it has been. You will find simple solutions to difficult problems and be able to carry out assignments that have seemed to be beyond your ability handle. I have indeed gone before you to make crooked places straight, says the Lord. Isaiah 45:2-3 I will go before you and make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron. I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, the Lord, who call you by your name, am the God of Israel.

August 22, 2024: Refuse to spend your valuable time on regrets and wishing you had made better choices or lived your life with greater integrity or loved and been loved more completely. Begin again today with better choices and love in your heart for those around you. You are still alive and can still make a difference. John 15:12-13 This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down your life for your friends.

August 21, 2024: When you feel lost and not yourself, be assured that this is a transitional phase. I am still the King of kings and the Lord of lords, and I hold you in the hollow of My hand. Nothing in your life goes unnoticed. Never doubt My desire and ability to bring you through every challenge. Keep the faith and stay strong, says the Lord. Isaiah 49:15-16 Can a woman forget her nursing child, and not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely they may forget, yet I will not forget you. See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; your walls are continually before Me.

August 20, 2024: I keep hearing the lyrics of an old song--pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again. It is indeed good advice for these days. Let today be a new day and a new beginning. Leave the past behind, and look with hope to the future. Isaiah 43:18-19 Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

August 19, 2024: Your breakthrough is coming slowly but surely, minute by minute, one day at a time. Do not discount the progress that you are making, no matter how small it seems. You will soon look back and be amazed at how far you have come, says the Lord. Colossians 3:23-24 And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.

August 18, 2024: Press through the darkness, and resist the work of degradation against you. Continue to push until your existence is found in My kingdom where trust and righteousness prevail. This is a matter of where you invest your time, energy, thoughts, emotions, and will. You do not have to subject yourself to the work of the enemy even when it seems to be pervasive, says the Lord. Romans 13:11-14 And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore case off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in licentiousness and lewdness, not in strife and envy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.

August 17, 2024: Breakthrough for you will come as a trickling stream instead of a roaring river. Your proverbial mantra will be: slow and steady, slow and steady. Take life as it comes; you cannot rush it. There are lessons to be learned that will be of great benefit in moving forward. Ecclesiastes 3:10-11 10 I have seen the God-given task with which the sons of men are to be occupied. He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.

August 16, 2024: When you are worn out with fear and worry, remember that I am with you to show you the way out of the darkness into My glorious light. Matthew 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

August 15, 2024: Be patient and remain diligent. The issues you have been dealing with seem to have no resolution, but you are making progress. Do not give up or lose hope, but rather keep your faith strong. You will be refreshed and renewed by the power of My Spirit, says the Lord. Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.

August 14, 2024: There are things you do and think that are no longer relevant to who you have become. Set yourself to embrace where you are instead of where you have been. You are being renewed day by day to become the best version of yourself possible. Put the past behind you and step into the new you. Isaiah 43:18-19 Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

August 13, 2024: Set your heart and mind to do good in all things. Even then you may have some regrets, but you will know that you did the best you could. The enemy of your soul will always seek to keep you in the bondage of condemnation, but he is a liar and the father of lies. Walk in truth and peace. John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled and do not be afraid.

August 12, 2024: Many of you, My people, are still nursing wounds from the past. And, I tell you honestly that those wounds are healing. It will not be long before you can put the pain behind you and rise up in health and strength physically, emotionally and mentally. You are entering a season of restoration. Isaiah 58:8 Then your light shall break forth like the morning, your healing shall spring forth speedily, and your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.

August 11, 2024: I speak to those who have a tendency to judge and criticize people around you. Be aware that if you are critical you will be criticized. It is a product of the spiritual law of sowing and reaping. If you do not want to be judged, you must be willing to overlook what you consider to be flaws in others and know that I love them as I love you, says the Lord. Matthew 7:1 Judge not, that you be not judged.

August 10, 2024: The things you have been concerned about will begin to slowly but surely be resolved. Do not expect overnight success, however. Be strong and take an even strain. You will need to exercise patience, but you can and will get through this. James 1:2-4 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

August 9, 2024: It seems like you have been through a rough patch, and actually things have been more complicated and difficult, but you are coming through by the direction and power of My Spirit. Do not underestimate My involvement in your life and circumstances. I am with you always. Hebrews 13:5 Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said: I will never leave you nor forsake you.

August 8, 2024: You can make plans for the future, but you must hold them loosely. You do not know what tomorrow will bring, but you can trust Me to usher you into every new day and give you the strength, wisdom and courage to endure. Take each moment as it comes as you seek Me for guidance and direction, says the Lord. Matthew 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

August 7, 2024: Refuse to allow past failures and regrets to create a state of condemnation and self-loathing. Today is a new day and a new opportunity to move forward and do the best you can right here and right now. You cannot change the past, but you can do your best with where you are today and with what you have to do. Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

August 6, 2024: It is time to resolve old issues. Do what you can to get to the bottom of the problem and seek Me for a solution, says the Lord. Then take the necessary steps to bring resolution. Matthew 7:7-8 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

August 5, 2024: Refuse to allow your mind to find things to worry about instead of putting your faith in Me to bring you through every challenge, says the Lord. Worry will get you nowhere except to undermine your faith. Ephesians 6:10-12 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

August 4, 2024: I see your waffling, not knowing what to do. Settle the issues today, once and for all. Have I not been with you in times when change brought about order? It was I who brought about the circumstances that required change that resulted in divine order. Let your faith rest in the assurance that nothing escapes My notice, and when you call for help I am there to give wisdom and direction. Jeremiah 33:3 Call to Me, and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.

August 3, 2024: Set yourself and take a stance against all that would take you down. I am with you to build you up and give you hope, not to reduce you to tears of hopelessness, says the Lord. I am your help in trouble, your shelter in the storm, and your light in darkness. Know that I will never leave you nor forsake you. Deuteronomy 31:8 And the Lord, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed.

August 2, 2024: To those who feel like you have been run through the mill in recent days and months, you are entering a season of restoration. It will seem to be slow at first, but then there will be a rapid progression of healing physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. In the meantime, take your rest. Isaiah 58:8 Then your light shall break forth like the morning, your healing shall spring forth speedily, and your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.

August 1, 2024: It is good to remind yourself of who you are, what you have been given to be and to do, and to be thankful that you belong to Me, says the Lord. A grateful heart is one who is blessed. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

JULY 2024

July 31, 2024: Stand strong. Refuse to allow circumstances and the lies of the enemy to bring discouragement. Seek eternal truth and pursue it. Continue to walk in the light instead of allowing the darkness of the world to take you down. The truth of My love for you will always prevail, says the Lord. John 4:23-24 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.

July 30, 2024: You must stand firm, endure and press on. There are still mountains to climb and hurdles to jump, but I have given you the will and the ability to keep going, says the Lord. Let the truth of My Word give you the strength to overcome. Never doubt My presence in your life and circumstances. I am with you. Psalm 18:32 It is God who arms me with strength, and makes my way perfect.

July 29, 2024: Even though you are breaking through in some areas of your life, you will have to persevere to gain the victory. There will be solutions to problems that have seemed insurmountable, but you must continue to press through this difficult time, says the Lord. I will give you the strength and ingenuity to succeed. Galatians 6:9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.

July 28, 2024: There are challenges that you must work your way through, but it is My desire that you confront those issues without getting into conflict. Refuse to play the blame game, but rather seek to find what it is in yourself that needs to be brought into divine order. Only through maintaining peace will you gain the understanding necessary to overcome. Titus 3:9-11 But avoid foolish disputes, genealogies, contentions, and striving about the law; for they are unprofitable and useless. Reject a divisive man after the first and second admonition, knowing that such a person is warped and sinning being self-condemned.

July 27, 2024: In a vision I saw a chick pipping through the egg in its first step of hatching. I believe this was the first sign of breaking through the confines of situations that have restricted our progress. This is a time of encouragement to take the next step in breaking through to new spiritual heights. Be bold, be brave, for the Lord is with you. Proverbs 28:1 The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion.

July 26, 2024: This is a time when you can find solutions to difficult problems, and get help where needed. Listen for My still small voice as I give you wisdom and show you the way, says the Lord. This is not a time to give up and resign yourself to accepting situations that are not ideal. Help is on the way. Psalm 46:1-3 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

July 25, 2024: Those of you, My people, who have been through trying times, I tell you that your wounds (both spiritually and naturally) will heal. Pick yourself up and prepare to move on. You have learned valuable lessons and have become stronger than you ever thought possible. Put the past behind you; there are good things ahead, says the Lord. Isaiah 43:18-19 Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

July 24, 2024: When things seem to go wrong, it is not necessarily your fault. Go easy on yourself even if you have some culpability. There is always an element of time and chance, so make the best of your circumstance, and put your faith in Me to bring your through trying times, says the Lord. Ecclesiastes 9:11 I returned and saw under the sun that--the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to men of understanding, nor favor to men of skill; but time and chance happen to them all.

July 23, 2024: You can now deal with issues that have been left unattended, but you will need wisdom. You are not without help. Ask, and I will show you the way. Insights that have seemed to escape you will be readily available, says the Lord. Quiet your trepidation and fear of failure, and put your faith in Me. Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

July 22, 2024: This is a time when you can bring to a conclusion things that have been a bother or concern. The door will be opened to deal with issues that have seemed to be insurmountable. Do not hesitate to take the next step; it will be one step at a time in putting things in order, says the Lord. Put your trust in Me. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

July 21, 2024: In a vision I saw a huge rock that had been chiseled to be perfectly square; it was as high as it was wide and long. And, the Lord said: I am the Rock on which you must live. My word is your foundation. It is strong, immovable, and eternal. It represents your moral and spiritual ethic, and I am establishing that same ethic in those who have strayed from spiritual truth and righteousness. I will bring them back to that solid foundation. 1 Corinthians 3:11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

July 20, 2024: You have turned a page in your life, and the door has opened for you to move forward. It is a time of reflection when you can see who you really are, to correct mistakes, make amends, and become the person you are truly designed to be. You cannot change the past, but you can set your sights on righteousness, peace and joy, says the Lord. Romans 14:17 for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

July 19, 2924: The issues you have faced over the past months will begin to be resolved. Do not underestimate the seriousness of what you have endured, but now is the time to rise above it. Take the next step, and move on with renewed strength and hope. Psalm 113:2 Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and forevermore!

July 18, 2024: Seek to walk in the light of life. Darkness is so easy to slip into when you are facing challenges, but you must remember that you are a spiritual being. You can rise above all that tries to keep you down. All you have to do is realize this truth and make a decision to be all you can be in Me, says the Lord. John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying: I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.
