I warm your heart with the sunshine in the morning to wake you up. I serenade you with a morning song each time your heart speaks a letter of love to Me. I love your smile whenever you are delighte

An undisturbed contemplation in what I want you to do is vital, even crucial and a prerequisite to what is to be accomplished for My Kingdom. I am sending special people to work hand in hand with you. They will come and stand…

Beloved, you must look to the mountains from whence your help comes from and remember that I am not like any man. No, I am not like any man no matter how the enemy would like to use your past experiences and circumstances to convince you otherwise. When the past or present actions or words of others try and obscure My true nature, obscure who I am and what I am willing to do on your behalf, you must…

Listen to My voice. Hear it say, “My grace is sufficient for you this day and every day after. My favor and loving kindness…and My mercy are sufficient to enable you to stand against any opposition…even opposition from within your own thinking”. (2 Corinthians 12:9) So many times you focus on your weakness somehow thinking it surprises or dismays Me. Actually the way I think is quite contrary to such thinking. I think only on what is pure, lovely and upright.

Back in the days when I started ministering I was often asked, “What are you?” What they meant was, “Are you a pastor, evangelist or missionary?” Even though folks could clearly see what I was doing they still asked the question because I apparently did not fit the customary mold. Answering such a question was hard for me since I had been doing some of all three. As a matter of fact I had a passion for all three. I really wanted to answer their question but felt guilty because I didn’t have the answer. This agonizing question was on my mind far too much in the first five years of my ministry.

It is your time My beloved. Yes, it is your time. You are building up your most holy faith (Jude 1:20). Don’t give up. Faithful is He who has chosen you (Isaiah 49:7). Your muscles are growing, building, and extending themselves beyond the bounds of your greatest ability to dream.

Draw aside today and listen carefully for I have indeed given you the very thoughts of My heart (1 Corinthians 2:15-16). Have you ever had the occasion to listen to a bubbling stream…a fountain pouring into a quiet pool? Do you remember the peaceful sound? If you will listen carefully for My still small voice you will hear it beginning to bubble as it makes its way from the deep places within you to the surface of your thoughts.

Not only do I behold you but My thoughts are ever on you (Psalms 33:13-15). Do not in any way be fearful of this prospect. Sometimes your thinking can be so wrong in this area. Often you think the thoughts you have about yourself are the same as Mine. This is only true if all your thoughts about yourself are thoughts of love, goodness, kindness and mercy…full of mercy grace and believe you are walking in a future filled with hope (Jeremiah 31:17).

I know it is the tendency of human nature to focus on the negative and not the positive…to forget the good things I have accomplished in and for you. When you forget it is most important to remember that I have accomplished all things necessary and now sit at the right hand of the Father to ever intercede on your behalf (Romans 8:34). I am your great intercessor and even now as you read this I am interceding on your behalf. Selah.

Yes, the door of heaven is open to you, over you and you are forever within heaven’s habitation. Keep on coming, keep on receiving without question or doubt. You will not be disappointed.
