It is my belief that most of our inability to love God is based on lies we believe about Him…lies often formed in our own wrong belief system according to what we have experienced at the hand of men or circumstances…and a misunderstanding of the Word and God’s nature. Our greatest hindrance to loving God is to believe we are not loved. How can we truly be intimate with someone we aren’t sure loves us?

Beholding Me is everything and keeps you from being distracted by things going on in your peripheral vision. When you cease to behold Me you will find yourself at odds with others and vulnerable to resentment. You find yourself not given over to love.

Have you marveled as some ride the crest of the wave and move with its energy? Beloved, My promises are like might waves waiting to carry you to the shore of fulfillment with power and accuracy. Each one are “yes” and “amen” (2 Corinthians 1:20).

I will make your home immovable and strong for I am the Master Builder. All the shifting sands of your life are being eradicated and I am standing you on the Rock. I cut away undesirable and prohibitive factors from your life and family. I have come to anoint each corner of your foundation in order to bring forth a new generation of anointing.

Beloved, with trust born from thankfulness and contentment guarding the gateways of your heart and life, I am moved to intervene in the affairs of your life with My Big Hand. As I do these things you must continue to fondly proclaim who I AM. My hands will lead the way and My footprints shall be

Word of the Day
Beloved, I have heard you proclaim My faithfulness to be on time in everything I do with a tenacity and bravado unknown to most or not experienced by many. How clearly you proclaim it with a heart of endearment and praise. You call Me the God of perfect timing and precision. It [...]
