All things…all promises and all people must be allowed to go through proper process in order to be fully developed and have no handicap. Only I know the perfect time and place for those precious things to be revealed and fulfilled! For Me, time is never ending. I have a perfect work in progress which will bring complete fulfillment to your life. Let endurance and patience have their perfect work as I shape and mold you with utmost care (James 1:4).

I am ever near to those who worship Me…who call out Abba Daddy. My salvation is near and available for every need…every desire and longing. Because you love My Son and because He dwells in you…abides in you…tabernacles in you…all things are yours. I am yours and you are

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.

Beloved, in light of the life within you…in light of who lives in you, don’t be so eager to speak the negative things you see and feel. Life and death are in the power of the tongue and negative talk, no matter how innocent it seems, can rain on even the greatest Fourth of July parade (Proverbs 18:20-21).

On that grand and glorious day when Sarah discovered her suddenly, the heavens shouted and the trees of the field clapped their hands, singing with joy, “The promise is here (Psalms 96:2)! The promise has come!” When she told Abraham, did they dance and shout for joy? Of course they did. Can you imagine the magnitude of Abrahams worship as the words sank into his heart? The faith of God in him nurtured over the years grew into fruition. In due season the fields yield their fruit (Lev 26:4)

Joy says to you this morning, “I am your strength. I am the joy of your salvation, so don’t focus on your lack (Psalms 95:1; Psalms 118:15). Focus with a grateful heart on all the Lord has done in bygone days. Focus on the promises He has given you with a heart of faith.

Let My Peace mount garrison over your heart and stand guard throughout your day (Philippians 4:7). Read My love notes with the eyes of your heart. “But where are they?” you ask.

Beloved, I, Christ in you the hope of glory, am flooding precept upon precept into every portion of your life. Like a bubbling fountain and an ever-flowing stream I rise up through the annals and hallways of your life to flood you with My life…to flood you with Christ-Life in the midst of life itself.

A renewed mind thinks like I think, loves like I love and is what I am. I lead by the example I set and I am the complete source of all your faith. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word. Beloved, faith COMES. It comes to you in response to the hearing of the Word. Speak My Word out loud and let your own speaking bring this truth to pass in your own life. Speak! Hear! And faith will come.

You are not the rebellious one you have sometimes thought yourself to be. You are not the selfish one other people may at times have thought you to be. You are a piece of My heart. You are not disqualified in any way from fulfilling your purpose or from riding with Me. You are just in need of My tender care—in need of My special attention…which of course…I love to give.
