Post-it GN #21 FD/MM/FM

By Mama 3587 6/05

Introduction

Dearest Family,

Some time ago in the GN on "Teaching Children to Hear From the Lord," I mentioned the little prophecy vitamins that we've received from the Lord for various people and situations. (These are different from the children's prophecy vitamins posted on the MO site. See ML #3360:162, GN 954.) We've received quite a few for Peter and those who have accompanied him on the trips he's gone on; some of our folks in WS have received them for their relatives both in the Family and out of the Family; we've received them as encouragement and strengthening for people who were fighting heavy battles or affliction, or for those involved in new projects, or as a gift for someone's birthday, etc.

We have wanted to get all these little jewels out to you for some time, but due to the many other pressing projects that are always with us‚ and the lack of personnel to do them‚ we haven't been able to. Recently the Lord inspired us to go with a much simpler approach than we had been planning. We had wanted to categorize them and put them out in a "MOP" type format. But the Lord showed us to simply proofread them and post them on the MO site, beginning with the ones that follow, so that at least you would have them and you could start using them and benefiting from them.

Then, as you read through them, if you have a burden to categorize or compile all the ones on a certain topic, you could send us your compiled list, and we could possibly post that as well for others to benefit from. For example, say you're a provisioner, so you compile all the prophecy vitamins on God's supply, faith, miracles‚ asking and receiving, anointing, witness, etc., into a category called "provisioning." Or you're a Home shepherd or coach‚ so you compile all the ones that are helpful to you in the area of shepherding, insight, love, wisdom, prayerfulness, sample, etc. Or you're going through a particular battle and you compile all the ones that are helpful to you in the area of yieldedness, or hanging on, or overcoming jealousy, etc. Then if you send us those files labeled for the specific need you compiled them for, we could possibly post that compiled topic for everyone to benefit from. Does that sound good?

We won't be able to get all the vitamins out to you immediately, but we'll post them in batches at the rate we're able to process and prepare them for you. Also, if you receive more vitamins or prophecy jewels on any topic, feel free to send them in and we'll prepare and post as many as we can for the rest of the Family to benefit from as well. However, when you're compiling a category on a certain topic, to send in to us to possibly post, please do not mix in ones that are not included in the posted prophecy vitamin GNs. Thanks so much!

Something to keep in mind is that, as I wrote in the intro to the MOP, not every quote is applicable to every situation. Just as in Proverbs one verse says, "Answer a fool according to his folly," and the preceding verse says, "Answer not a fool according to his folly," each of these tidbits of wisdom from our sweet Lover will need to be applied prayerfully and with wisdom. Each little vitamin couldn't possibly cover all aspects or possible factors in any given scenario‚ but within them are many jewels, many words of encouragement, many promises you can claim. And just as they've been a tremendous strength to those who they were specifically received for, as you prayerfully appropriate them and apply them to your own life, I believe they will be a strength and blessing to you as well.

Another point for your consideration is that these vitamins were gone over with the age group of 16 and up in mind. If you want to use any with your junior teens, JETTs or children, please go over them first to ensure that they're age-appropriate.

God bless and keep us all close to Him, and feeding from His Word daily. I love you!

Note: All prophecy excerpts are from Jesus unless otherwise indicated.

(Dad:) "It is one thing just to stick!" Can I say it any better than that? "Moreover, it is required in servants that a man be found faithful." I'm looking, and the Lord is looking‚ and you are being found faithful. Thank you for being a faithful servant, a faithful steward for the Lord. Remember that only Jesus can keep you full of faith—faithful—and fulfilled in your ministry for Him. Look unto Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith.

Never be afraid of where My winds of change are blowing you. I will not guide you anywhere that I will not also provide. You hear My voice calling, and you must not doubt that it is My voice. You are My sheep, and you know My voice when you hear it. Don't look at the circumstances or the worries, but step out and follow My leading. Don't worry about how far this road may take you; just trust that I know where it's heading, and I will bring you safely home again.

I'm feeling very generous these days toward My obedient children. I'm like a rich man who is handing out gifts and blessings right and left. You who please Me deserve everything that I have to give. Is there something special on your heart? Do you have any secret desires? Now would be an excellent time to ask. It would be My delight to fulfill your wish.

There is so much going on these days, and there is an emphasis on so many things. But your main job is still to be a preacher of the Gospel. Your ultimate calling is to evangelize the world and spread My name to every corner of the globe, starting with the town you live in. Is what you are doing accomplishing this? Everything that you do‚ no matter how small or how great, should in some way be taking you closer to the goal of everyone, everywhere hearing My name and partaking of My love.

The love you give is My love. Therefore you need not worry if you feel tired‚ spent in your emotions and drained from much giving. You need not pour out your own love, for that will quickly dry up and fade, but My love will never run dry. It will pour forth as much as is needed, whenever it is needed. If you're feeling empty, then that's perfect. I want you not as an empty vessel, but as an empty conduit, with both ends open—one for Me to pour into you, and the other for you to channel that love out onto others.

Honesty is the best policy. Honesty is a form of love. Honesty will only bring the greatest rewards. Honesty dispels fear. Honesty is made perfect in love, which casts out fear. Only the Enemy wishes to keep things hidden and buried through fear and worry. I wish to bring things out into the daylight, not to expose and hurt, but to cover with love and light. You have nothing to fear from perfect truth and perfect love.

I've got your back covered. I'm watching out for your interests, as you are watching out for Mine. Thank you for so cheerfully doing My work, taking care of the things I have committed to your trust, and trusting Me to take care of the personal situations you have committed to My trust. I won't let you down! I'll be a good business manager for you. I'll work things out the way I know they should be. Just leave it all in My hands and I'll make you happy. Wait and see.

There are few nobler aspirations than being a scholar of My Word and wanting to be totally immersed in it until it fully becomes one with you. I can help you in this. I can help you to read the Word, to live the Word, and to have the Word meld and bond with you. They are My Words and they are My Spirit. I am the One that can best teach you their hidden truths.

You have the freedom to change. If there is anything that is holding you back from becoming the new creature I am calling you to be, you are free in the spirit to change it. I can give you a spirit of freedom and a spirit of change. There is nothing too difficult or too impossible to be made different if you desire it, and if it is My will for you.

Please don't look backwards at what is past. Old things are passed away. There is no need to go there anymore in your mind. Leave the past in the past and press forward toward the things that are before. You don't need to be concerned with what is behind. Focus on what is ahead, on what is to be gained and claimed.

Your children are My blessing to you. Remember that every time you see your kids—that they are like My rainbow, My promise and sign of blessing to you. I love your kids‚ I love your love for them, and I love you.

Keep the heavenly vision. Never forget about that great cloud of witnesses that is around you witnessing and watching and rejoicing for all that you accomplish in My name. I would hate for you to feel like your work goes unnoticed or unappreciated, because even if not many in your world see it, there are thousands here that see it and shout praises to Me and rejoice for the victories that you win in My name‚ and for My cause. You're a star!

I never take something away from you without giving you something better. The mistake people make is that they look for the same kind of thing as what I asked them to give up for Me. Sometimes My recompense comes in similar form, but often it does not. Don't put Me, or your own happiness, in a box by looking for My blessings only along certain avenues. I can, and will, bless your life in many ways, and not always as you might expect. But what you can count on is that there will always be a greater gift and blessing to make up for any loss or forsaking.

Life is a battle. And it's meant to be, because that's where the challenge lies. But you've got to remember that after each battle comes the victory. This is what I promise you: If you'll put your trust in Me, I promise the victory time and again.

(Dad:) When your life is over and you arrive in Heaven, you'll be so thankful you did your best for the Lord and gave it everything you had! On Earth, there will always be battles and tests. But isn't it better to be battling against the Devil than against the Lord? That way your victory is ensured.

The specific circumstances, battles, and weaknesses that come up day to day are not so important. What is crucial is how you handle these things—the conclusions that you draw and the results that come forth in the final analysis. Making the right decisions is what counts!

Darling, come lie in My arms. Here is where all your hopes and dreams will come to pass. I am your all, your strength, the love of your life, the fulfillment of your every desire.

Hush. Listen, can you hear the music? How I love to play for you. You make My heart sing. When you love Me like you do, out comes beautiful music!

Strength is what I have to offer, and what I have I give freely. I have an abundant supply. My storehouse never runs dry.

One step at a time, one prayer at a time, one praise at a time, one do-the-humble-thing action at a time. That's yieldedness‚ that's fighting, that's making progress.

No child of Mine can ever call themselves "alone." Even when others around you fail, I never fail. I am with you to love you, protect you, and guard you‚ to whisper in your ear and tell you the way to go. All you have to do is listen.

Today is fresh and new. Yesterday is past. Today is a fresh new start, a clean slate, the beginning of a new life.

Treasure every moment of every day, because every moment of time is special.

I understand pressure, how it can press upon you, the discomfort and stress it can generate. This is why I created a safety valve. Come to Me when you are burdened and weighed down, and I will give you rest. I will give you relief. I will be your pressure valve.

When you don't understand and you can't see all sides of the situation, just remember, I'm way up in front and I see all things. My view is all-encompassing. I have perfect wisdom. I can see all eternity‚ and thus I know the best direction to take.

Wisdom is a life skill. Knowledge on its own is not where it's at, and will only give you a big head. If you find yourself disregarding other people's opinions right off the bat‚ that's a sign you've got a big head. It's so much better to be humble and meek, lowly in your own sight. Then I will lift you up. Humility is wisdom.

I've used the sorrows you have known in life. They've been needed to keep you from being shallow and vain. Those I gift greatly in life must also bear the cross of knowing disappointments and pain, so that they can become truly great.

(Dad: ) This is the confidence we have in our Husband: We know that if we ask anything according to His will‚ He hears us. And we know that because He hears us, whatever we ask He's going to do—because we're His brides. He loves us, He delights in taking care of us, and He's never going to let us down. This is His promise; this is what you can count on.

You don't have to worry that you'll not have the strength to keep going. When you are the most tired and feel like you can't do it, that's My greatest opportunity. Call on the keys during these times. Activate their power. Then all you have to do is hold on and enjoy the ride.

I know it's difficult to be immersed in the problems and the cares of daily living. When the problems seem overwhelming and you find yourself engulfed in seeming impossibilities, that's your cue to pull away from Earth's cares and step into My courts. Breathe the cool refreshing air of My Spirit. Let Me clear your vision and show you the way out of each problem you encounter.

You've got to leave behind the cares of this world on a regular basis and come away with Me. I want to show you worlds beyond your carnal mind.

Keep expanding your vision in all that you do each day. Keep looking forward. Live with the heavenly vision in mind. Keep bringing a little of Heaven down to Earth. Keep the vision and prepare your hearts to live in Heaven in the near future.

If you want to stay humble and yielded in all things, start fighting on the small fronts. Yield in all the little things, and the big things will fall into place.

In all you do, remember these key words: love‚ simplicity and humility. If you embrace these three things, you can't go wrong.

Simple acts of obedience. Simple acts of love. Little deeds of kindness. Little moments of prayer. The little things you give. Little words of encouragement. The answers are not found in some complex solution of man, but in the little things, in simple acts of love and obedience to Me each day.

You're going to always find many sides to every story, many different aspects and angles of every situation. This is why you must constantly be aware of finding the right balance in all things, and this is why I tell you to ask Me everything. I can show you where on the scale the right answer lies.

If you want to be more like Me, spend more time with Me.

Even if you feel weak and insecure and you feel the ground trembling under your feet‚ remember that the faintest, humblest cry can release great power on your behalf. Call on the keys and Heaven will come to your rescue.

Victories can only be won through fighting battles. Learn to relish the fight, because that is where My presence, power and strength are found.

When you feel most incapable‚ that is often when I use you the most, because that's when you're most desperate for Me to work through you.

Ask Me to help you develop the gift of encouragement and I will. Then you'll have something everybody needs.

When you find yourself in a bit of a fog, not knowing exactly what to focus your energies on or not understanding what your spirit needs, call on Me and the power of My keys to give you clarity and purpose of mind and will.

My light of truth shines brighter in your life every day. The power of My Spirit within you grows stronger every day. The seed of faith in your heart blossoms a little more every day. The eternal love I have placed within you works its way deeper into your being every day. You are becoming more and more like Me, and I am taking over and possessing more of you every day, until we will move and think as one.

Reach up, reach out, and pull back the veil to the spiritual world to grasp some new truth. It's there for you, available to you whenever you need it and want it bad enough. There's nothing like a little trip into the realm of the spirit and the glories and beauties that dwell there to refresh and renew you completely—your mind, your body, and your spirit.

When you're tempted to think that what I've asked of you is just too difficult, that you'll never make it, that you'll never be good enough, that it's not even worth trying, then try this: Come to Me and ask Me to give you a little peek at one of the multitude of treasures that I plan to give you in reward for your faithful service to Me.

All of the future is not within your power to see, but‚ if you come to Me in sincerity and humility, you can ask Me specific questions about your future and what I have planned for you, and I will shed light on your path. It is My choice how much information to give you, but I will at least give you enough so that you will be sufficiently prepared and better able to handle the challenges that lie ahead.

Are you lacking in vision today? Does it seem like just one more day amongst thousands, that will end quietly and ungracefully without much to show for itself? Don't settle for that kind of passive existence! Reach up to Me‚ call on Me, claim My power, and ask Me to do something through you or for you today that will make it a significant step in history.

There is no greater honor than to be called and chosen for My full-time service. You can't even begin to fully understand or appreciate how much it means to Me to see that you have dedicated yourself completely to Me, and continue to do so every day.

I want to tell you today‚ in a way you've never heard before, how I love you and how much I love you. Stop, get quiet, open your heart and mind to Me, and let Me give you a glimpse into My mind, so that you might better understand how much you mean to Me.

Do you hear the call of the wind? It's the call of the wind of My Spirit‚ and it's beckoning you to branch out, to step out, to enter further into this marvelous realm of true reality—the realm of My Spirit and the supernatural, the realm of the keys and the mind of God. There's always more to discover!

In tales of old‚ men set out on innumerable endless quests to find the "holy grail." Such is the intense desire within man's heart for a connection with Me, and for the ability to live eternally. Yet such knowledge and power have I given unto you freely. You need not roam to the ends of the earth in its pursuit. You need only accept it.

I am anything and everything that you want or need Me to be. I am a powerful king and ruler, ready and able to command nations, and more. Yet I am also a comfortable, cozy pal‚ a friend to sit beside you and hear you out.

Take a little pause now from whatever you're doing, and tell Me something you love about Me, something you appreciate about My love. I love hearing these things. I want to hear them as often as you'll say them.

What do you need? What do you want? The power of Heaven is yours to command, and there are no impossibilities for you, so don't be afraid to ask! And if you don't know what you need, call on My Spirit to pray for you and through you, to bring about My answers and solutions.

Call My name and I'll be there in a hurry. With Me right beside you, you need never worry. Don't let life's troubles get you into a stew. Ask for My help, because I'll know what to do.

When I've called you to do something and shown you that it is My will, then I will empower you and help you to overcome any obstacle. Keep fighting in prayer, with faith, using the power of the keys, until you have victory.

You started off as a little seedling, and now you've grown into a tall tree. You used to look up at everyone and everything; now you find yourself looking down and seeing so many that look up to you, that need you and depend on you. It can be frightening, and sometimes you don't know what to do to help them. But always remember that you do have a lot within you to give‚ and when you ask Me what to give and how to give it, I'll show you.

Let Me shine through you today. Let Me use your words, your touch, your example, your kindness, to bring someone closer to Me today. Open yourself up to be refilled and renewed with My Spirit. Pray for Me to lead you and guide you to the one who needs you most, and step out in faith and obedience to do what I show you to make a difference.

So many people suffer through their lives without ever knowing true love. But I've blessed you, My darling, with love in so many forms. Look around you, at your loved ones, your family and friends, and ponder the many ways in which you have been shown real, pure, sincere love. It's a treasure worth more than anything in the world.

Together, you and I can do anything. Nothing and no one can stop you from doing and being all you want and need to be. And there is Someone by your side with the power to guarantee that you will make it!

I've never failed in one word of all My good promises. Stop and think back on the promises I've made to you, and thank Me for how I've fulfilled them. Let that strengthen your faith as you look ahead to the next challenges. Seek Me for My Words of promise for each challenge you face. Ask Me to tell you how I'm going to work, and then hold Me to those promises until I have done it.

Stretch your faith. Let it grow. Ask for something that seems too big, too difficult, almost ridiculous. Ask in faith. Ask for something you need. Ask for something that you know is impossible without divine intervention. Ask through the power of the keys. Do it today! Do it now! Watch it happen!

When this world gets you down, when the troubles and the confusion of life surround you and close in on you, escape to Me. You can escape by rising above at any moment. You don't have to wait for conditions to improve in any way. Simply call out to Me. Ask Me specifically to help you rise above the pressure and strain, then and there, and I will lift you to a safe and secure haven for your mind and spirit.

There is a chamber in your heart, deep and hidden‚ where I have prepared a place of retreat. This place is protected from all the cares of the world, from all the attacks of the Enemy. This place is a defense in times of desperate need. To reach this place‚ all you have to do is ask Me to take you there. While you are in this place, I will wipe away all your tears and fears and renew your strength and courage to face life again.

You are one of My Endtime witnesses. You are one whom I have chosen to stand boldly and proclaim My Words and truth unto the nations. This may sound dramatic, but it's the truth. Every day that you go out and reach My sheep‚ every time that you feed and follow up on those I have led you to, you are already fulfilling this—for I reach "the nations" heart by heart. Yet the time will also come when you will stand before many and speak boldly, and the world will listen.

I am the Lover of your soul. I love all of you, your whole soul‚ your whole being. That means both your body and your spirit. All of it is precious, beautiful, and special to Me. I made you, your physical and spiritual self, to suit My needs and My pleasure, and I am happy with My creation. And as you are also happy and thankful, positive and praiseful, then it enhances My happiness even more.

I am your Great Provider. I know you have many needs, but there is not a single one that I am not capable of fulfilling. If you need something, then you can demand it, in faith and expectancy. I own this world and all its wealth, and I will not withhold from My beloved brides that which you need. Claim it today, through the power of the keys!

Don't let discouragement get the better of you. Don't look at the waves. The waves are there—problems are there, your weaknesses are there, they're not your imagination—but they cannot drown you. They need not control you or direct your life. As Peter walked on water, you can walk on top of them and subdue them through My supernatural power.

The keys of the Kingdom give you power to overcome all evil and wrong. They give you power to obey My will. They give you the strength to do that which I ask you to do‚ even when it seems impossible.

Through the power of the keys, there is no gulf too wide, no depth too deep, no mountain too high for you. Hold on to the keys, for they are the power for this new era.

When you wake up, call on the keys for the day. When you lie down at night to sleep, call on the power of the keys. When you speak, call on My power. When you eat, call on My power. No matter what you do, call on My power!

Do you feel low or down? Are you too tired to face today? Don't worry, My love, I've got the boost you need. Come and get energized through hearing from Me for today.

What blessed peace can be found in the silent moments when you and I commune together, just the two of us. Here is where you find your strength. Don't neglect this private time with Me—it is your strength.

Fear not for the tests which will come your way today. They are molehills and can be easily leapt over with My power. Don't let the Devil turn them into mountains before you. See with the power of the Spirit that there are no obstacles for you because you hold the power of the keys in your hands.

Peace and quiet might be hard to find in such a busy Home, but if you take a moment with Me you'll find that your heart can enter into My secret place where you can be refilled and refreshed by My power. Don't miss it.

Focusing on the power is going to be the solution to all your problems. It doesn't need to take a lot of time; even just stopping for one minute to send up a quick praise, prayer, or plea for help or direction will be a tremendous solution. Try doing this throughout your day today, and see what a difference it'll make.

It doesn't matter how many times you make the same mistake. Keep trying‚ keep fighting, and you will win.

I long to be one with you always. See how many times you can bring Me into your heart and life today. I promise that I will make your day special (in a very good way) as you do.

You're officially in the era of miracles. When you get stuck in a difficult situation, you can smile and know that a miracle may very well be just around the corner.

No worries! I promise to always take care of you and see you over every obstacle. I'm always here for you‚ so when you're tempted to worry, just remind yourself of My love and power that's always going to pull you through.

I need you. I want you to remember that you personally have a special destiny‚ a special role in the Endtime play that only you can fill. Even if you can't see it now, it will become clear to you.

Love is never wasted. Keep on loving, whether or not you see results right now, because one day you will.

Let Me kiss you and hold you now. I long for you‚ and I care for you. You are Mine, and I want to remind you of how special you are to Me.

Don't be afraid of change. Never be afraid to try something new. You just might find that you like it, and that it's the answer you've been looking for.

I have millions of new ideas, new solutions to old problems, simple solutions that'll make your day-to-day life so much easier and more pleasant. Bring Me those little nagging problems and things that bug you, and let Me help you fix them.

You can laugh in the face of any problem now, for you are filled with power—the power of the keys, the power to rise above, and the power that comes with the knowledge that NOTHING is impossible.

When you witness, you always win. Are you feeling tired or "blah" or discouraged? There's nothing like finding a hungry sheep and filling their need. It'll give you the boost you need, not to mention it'll bring many other blessings raining down upon you.

It really makes Me happy when I see you enjoying yourself—eating your favorite food, spending time with your favorite person, or playing your favorite game. Have fun, relax, enjoy the fun things in life.

You'll never regret a loving, unselfish, or sacrificial deed. Look for ways to give, ways to put others first. Promoting unity is a sure way to bring down My blessings and supply.

Faith is not something you feel; it's something you do—an action which gets results. Stretch your faith, exercise it‚ and you will not be disappointed.

As you learn to love more fully, you become more like Me. I cause your spirit to shine, and to radiate love and beauty. This enhances your gifts and brings down My power and Spirit upon you in greater and greater measure.

Need a boost? My Words are always there for you, always full of power, always ready to lift you up, give you answers‚ encourage your heart, give you strength and much‚ much more. Never underestimate the power of My Words.

It's a new day, with new weapons, and a new start for many. So don't dwell on past problems or mistakes, but believe Me for what I've called you for today!

You're My special choice for the ministry I have you in. So you can trust Me and believe that I will give you all that you need for the job.

It's easy to lie back and let the winds of change flow over you and only ruffle your hair‚ but not change your innermost being. But I want all the New Wine and new moves of the Spirit to change you as much as possible, because that will make you more a part of Me and more like Me.

My Word is synonymous with Me, and the New Wine is My new, fresh, exciting Word for you today—Word that will help you meet the challenges of today with vigor and enthusiasm and zest of spirit!

Embrace Me in the morning, and let My Spirit permeate your heart, soul, feelings‚ and thoughts. I want to become more and more a part of you‚ so that you can be a tool in My hand, and so that I can show you My love all day long, in every situation.

Emotional changes‚ hurts, disappointments, trials—these are hard to bear, but remember that I measure each one out with great care‚ concern, and love for you, so that there's never more than you and I can handle together. Give it all to Me, and I will ease the pain and heal your heart.

If you feel the job is too great for you, you're right! It is! But it's not too great for Me, and I will bring My will to pass through you, as you yield your all to Me and follow My bidding closely.

This day that I've given you is a gift, but it's like an empty box now. As you begin your day, moment by moment, it is your choice as to how you will fill it. Let it be filled with beautiful things from Me.

You are a wonderful, amazing creation of Mine, that I ordained to fill a spot that only you can fill. I love to see you move and act and think with My power and anointing, fulfilling your destiny, the role that I created you for.

The Family is becoming a mightier army and a more powerful weapon which I can wield against the Enemy. Thank you for making the right choices. Thank you for choosing to give Me your all. Praise Me for the victories that I will win for you, and the progress that I will make through you.

It's good that you are taking on new and different responsibilities. There will be some challenges, but that's always good for you, and it's a good opportunity for you to learn new things and work with new people. Don't necessarily rely on your old tactics and ways of doing things. I've given a new mode of operation, so be open to My leadings and ask Me everything at each step. Then I can put My blessing on you and your life.

I will perfect that which concerns Me. You are My beloved bride in whom I am well pleased, and I have great need of you. I take you into My arms and love and cherish you, for you have given Me your all. You have given your life and strength in love for Me and those around you. And as you give, so will it be given to you.

My love, I look upon your face and I behold such beauty! Your service to Me all of these years has been seen and will be remembered, and you have great blessings and rewards in store for each and every sacrifice. Yet your love for Me shines even brighter than your works. I feel your love and it is drawing us closer together for all eternity.

I know this past year has had its ups and downs. Maybe you feel like there have been more downs than ups. But I have had My hand in your life, and have been working in your heart to make you what I want you to be—a highly trained individual for My use.

I love you so much and am here for you. Thank you for drawing close to Me in your times of need. It is then that I am able to fill you to the full with My love to pour out on others. Thank you for a job well done. I have great need of you, and this Family is not the same without you! Thank you for sticking it out and saying yes to Me. I love you.

Don't worry if you feel weak and incapable at times. I rejoice in this, for it brings you closer to Me and keeps you humble and desperate. It is only when you are down that you can look up and see My face. That is when you truly know that without Me you are nothing.

Be not weary in well doing, but look to Me and seek Me. Ask Me everything. I will give you the wisdom and the grace and the love that you need. In due season you shall reap if you faint not.

I'm so proud of you! There are many times you've been tested and you've stuck—you've looked to Me and totally yielded yourself to Me. You've persevered and you've held on to My hand by pure faith. Sometimes things seemed rocky and turbulent for you, and you let Me be your grace and help and strength. I'm so happy and thrilled that we've grown so much closer together as friends, as lovers, as companions.

I know you feel overwhelmed. I see that you feel insecure and at a loss. I know the things you are feeling. But are you not desperate to commune with Me and get My direction and instruction? Ah, this is My plan. I will place you exactly where I want you, and in the end, when you look back, you will see My perfect will and My perfect timing in all things, even if from your present vantage point it might look like confusion. I have My hand on your life.

As you step out by faith to be and do all that I have called you to, even when it looks like you are stepping out into thin air, I will cause the ground to rise up to meet you.

Claim all the promises in My Word, for they are for you. I would have given them for you alone—I care about your happiness and well-being and success that much.

As you claim My promises with others, the power generated is multiplied. Such are the dynamics of united prayer when applied to united goals. United prayer followed by united action, according to My will and My Word, is unstoppable.

You're just getting started! As you learn to use all of the weapons I have given‚ you will do greater things for Me than ever before—greater things than you ever imagined possible!

You'll have your ups and downs as long as you're in human flesh; that's just part of life. But when you get down, you don't have to stay there. Latch on to Me and let Me lift you to heavenly places.

Things really aren't as difficult or complicated as they sometimes seem. You've been given new powers for new responsibilities, but the old formula holds true: Trust and obey and you'll receive My anointing and blessing.

You can have as much of Me as you want, whenever you want, as often as you want. I'm always here to listen, to love, to encourage, to counsel, and to empower you to do My will.

Don't ever think you can't do what I'm calling you to do, and whatever you do, don't ever say that! Rather, rejoice in your human limitations, knowing that they make more room for Me to work. When you are weak, I am strong.

Call on the keys! Call on the hosts of Heaven! Call on Me! All power in Heaven and Earth is given unto Me and Mine, and we wait to wield it on your behalf whenever you need it. Just call!

If you could truly know how much I love you and how proud I am of you for giving your life for Me, you'd never be discouraged or disappointed with yourself. I forgive your sins, and there should be no condemnation for My children.

You're special to Me. Remember that when disappointments come, when all seems lost, when you're feeling down or just plain uninspired. Inspiration comes and goes, circumstances change, but My love for you is constant. You'll always be special to Me.

Let Me renew your convictions each day through My Word, and through My voice of personal prophecy. It's the Word that gives you faith, and faith is the foundation of conviction, and the fruit of strong conviction is obedience.

Keep the personal Words I gave to you handy, and mark them and review them. Don't let them drift from your mind and heart, but keep following the road to progress and victory that I have placed you upon. I have given you all the counsel that you need‚ and I will continue to give you what you need as you ask Me. But unless you review it and work on it each day, it won't do you any good. Make the most of this wonderful gift of personal instruction that I've given you by reviewing it and putting it into action!

(Dad:) Are the keys a part of your life? If not, they should be! They're the way of the future. They will unlock the doors that you're meant to walk through. They will make it possible for all the promises the Lord has given you to be fulfilled. Study them. Reread all that has come out about them, and work to become experienced in their use. They're for you! Use them!

What can you do today to promote Activated? Even if you're not going out witnessing today, are you going anywhere? Don't go without the tools I've given you to do the job! If you're staying home, take some time to pray for those who are out‚ or to pray for your sheep and contacts. Prayer and obedience will bring this vision to pass. It's the little things—the little times of obedience, the little prayers—that will make it really happen. Do your part today!

No matter what the obstacle, My power is greater! No matter what the difficulty, I can overcome it. Focus on My power! Ignore the impossibilities. If you're not sure what My will is in a situation, then get down to business and ask Me! And once you know, focus only on My will and My promises. I will see you through!

Stretch your faith! Let it grow as I would have it grow, for in the days to come, the faith you have now will not be enough. You must let Me move the mountains and surmount the obstacles with you today. You must put Me on the spot, and learn how to use the gift of heavenly thought power that I have placed in your hands.

You must practice focusing solely on the power. You must become experienced in the use of the keys turned to swords. Remember how those in the vision wielded them with skill and ease? Well, you can bet that wasn't automatic. They had to practice! Come on, put them to use in your life today! There isn't much time!

The most important thing—today and always—is your relationship with Me. If there's anything standing in the way of our communication, today is the day to sort it out and make it right. If there's anything hindering your receptivity to My Word‚ today is the day to resolve it. If there's anything keeping you from having the time with Me that you need, today is the day to be rid of it. Today is the day! There's no tomorrow when it comes to spending time with Me and receiving the power, instruction‚ blessings, spiritual progress and anointing that come with it.

Love is what makes the world go round. Things are moving fast, the Enemy is fiercely at war against My children, and there is a world to win before you're out of time. But there's always time to love—time to stop and listen, time to pray for someone, time to lend a helping hand. It's those little things that make life worth living, and that keep you in touch with why you're fighting a battle in the first place—it's so that My love can reign on the Earth, and so that as many as possible can experience My love in full measure. So put My love into practice in the little ways today. Keep that as your focus, and everything else will fall into place and you'll have the proper perspective.

Do you want to really make a difference today? Spend time before My throne interceding for others. Intercessory prayer goes further than anything else you could ever accomplish today, because intercessory prayer releases the powers of Heaven. If you have 15 minutes and aren't sure how to spend those minutes‚ spend them in prayer. You'll accomplish more in the spirit in those few minutes than a week's worth of struggle in the arm of the flesh could bring about. You will lighten loads and send relief to those who are struggling.

The Enemy fights prayer hard because he knows how effective it is. Don't save prayer for a time when you want to relax. Consider it part of your work. Really get down to business in the spirit, claim My promises, and command Me. And you'll see and hear about the results. Pray! It changes things!

I love how you love Me. Your faithfulness, your endurance, your perseverance in spite of all the daily obstacles, does not go unnoticed. What you spend to reach the lost I will more than repay.

Jesus, others, you, spells JOY. When you're down and confused, check out whether the Enemy is trying his trick of getting you involved in your problems instead of looking to Me and reaching out to others. Seek Me and I'll help you to receive My joy back in your heart.

Praise Me for everything in your life—the good and bad, the pretty and ugly, the joyous and sad—and you will experience peace and contentment that transcend the boundaries of the earth or flesh.

My yoke is easy and My burden is light—if you come unto Me. Come, My love, let Me bear the weight and carry you through this time of difficulty.

Put Me to the test. Call on the keys, expect miracles, and you will get them.

Without My Word you will perish. You will not be able to function, to do the job I have called you to do. It's vitally important that we have our time together every day. Take time with Me and we'll get a lot done to further My message to this lost and lonely world.

Prayer is important. Prayer is power. Pray and call on the keys and you will see things change.

My grace is yours for the asking. My grace is sufficient. My grace will give you strength. My grace overcomes your weaknesses. Ask for My grace and great progress will be made.

Simplicity is intelligence at its best. It is wise to be simple. Simply believe My Word. Simply trust in My Word. Simply put My Word into action‚ and you will see how simplicity is simply amazing! Little is much if I am in it.

Preach the Gospel and you will live of the Gospel. I will supply all your needs and more. The more you lift Me up, the more you seek first My Kingdom, you can be sure that all these other things you have need of will be added unto you. But remember to keep it in the proper perspective. Don't get caught up in the "things" but remember to "seek first the Kingdom."

The touch of My love recreates and gives new life. It breathes fresh vigor into the tired and weary. You have poured out and given much for Me, My love, and yet you never need fear running empty, for as you pour out, I will pour back in. All it takes to remain full is faithfulness to your times alone with Me, where you retreat to My arms and find Me and My love in all its fullness. Its abundance will never diminish, and it will always be there for you—all you need of it and more.

In this new year you will find a new infilling of My love. As times grow busier and more intense, you need not fear, for My love will likewise grow more intense.

You're My beautiful moon, helping to light up this darkened world. Though your light is not your own, when you bask in Mine, then you glow and cast a gentle and loving light on the shadowed places.

Come soar through the air with Me. Come fly through time and space and leave behind the confines of daily life‚ all its tediousness, monotony, and business. Come and be dazzled by the dizzying heights to which My Spirit reaches. Come with Me for the ride of your life! Any time you need a pick-me-up, I'll have something new in store for you‚ something to bring joy and excitement to your heart and mind.

Where would I be without you? I need you and your love. I need all that you have to give Me. I don't just need you because of what you do, but I need you for who you are and what you are—My special creation, My love, My darling, My beauty, My bride.

There's a special place in My palace for just the two of us—a place no one else will ever find. It's a place I've reserved just for you, a place where all is exactly as you would want it. I look forward to the day when I can carry you across the threshold into this spot I'm reserving and preparing for you, My love.

What do you want more than anything right now? What do you need more than anything right now? Do you believe it's in My power to give it to you? Ask, seek‚ and knock; and the answers, the relief, the joy, the love, and the freedom you seek will be granted you in My Own special way.

All the love you give comes back to you an hundredfold. It doesn't always feel like it, and sometimes it seems that more is taken from you than given to you, but you'll see in the end that everything will settle just right, and you won't regret any giving you've ever done.

This year ahead will be the happiest of your life! Not because you'll have everything the way you'd want or hope, but because you've given your everything to Me and put it all in My hands, and for that I'll reward you with a supreme peace and happiness that can't be obtained any other way.

Today I'm writing a song for you‚ My love. It's no earthly song‚ but is comprised of pure heavenly strains. There are no words, either, for My message will be inscribed in a miraculous way. Though others will hear the notes and the tune, only you will hear My love song's words to you. When you get here, I will play it for you. It is one of the most intimate acts of My love. Part of My heart and love is in this song I've created for you today, and you are the only one, aside from Me, who will be able to decipher its meaning.

When there's so much to do and so little time to do it, give all of your burdens to Me. Take each one and give it specifically to Me. I may not help you to accomplish everything in one day, for there is only so much that is humanly possible. But I will give you perfect peace in knowing that you've done your very best and have accomplished those things which were most important.

As a gift of My love for you today, I give you one of My lovely angels of encouragement, joy, and inspiration. She will be by your side today from the moment you wake up till the moment you close your eyes to sleep at night. If you need some extra joy, think of her. She will be encouraging you through tokens of My love throughout the day. She will whisper words of happiness in your ears.

There's nothing more powerful than claiming the power of the keys. There's nothing more beautiful than your heart surrendered to Me. There's nothing more precious than the moments you spend with Me. There's nothing more special than the faith you possess and your determination to trust Me, come what may.

You give and give and give. Like a flower is squeezed and crushed to bring forth a beautiful fragrance, so are you. Though it hurts at times, My precious darling, and you feel so spent and weary, those whose lives you touch are invigorated by the fragrance of My love in you. Thank you for being a vessel of My love.

This day is My love for you, so keep your eyes open at every turn so that you don't miss any of My small tokens of endearment. Look out your window and see the beautiful creation—that's My love for you. Look at your loved ones and mates and friends—they're My love for you. Look at the nice clothes I've given you, the wonderful supply of all your needs—that's My love for you. Look at everything you see today, everything that is good, beautiful‚ and lovely, and remember that it is all a manifestation of My love for you.

You're in a war, and it's a difficult fight. Things aren't always easy—in fact, hardly ever. But you're on the right side and you're fighting for Me. You're fighting for My children‚ you're fighting for lost souls, and you're fighting to be what I want you to be every moment of every day. Don't ever think for a moment that you're through, that you've had enough of the fight, because you're going to win if you don't give in. You're My brave fighter‚ and I'm proud of your faith that compels you to continue on to victory.

I love to speak to you. I love to whisper words of love in your ears‚ as well as words of counsel and guidance that help the problems around you melt away. I know it takes time and effort and a lot of faith to hear from Me‚ but it's so worth it. Not only do you benefit from My answers and counsel and instruction, but I also benefit through your spending time with Me. It makes Me so happy; it's these times with you that I treasure.

You can only do so much. I know you have high ideals and there's so much to do that you feel responsible for. But don't let the Enemy condemn you or tell you that you're not doing enough or you're failing. There's a limit to what you can physically do each day, so just trust that I will take care of the rest. At the end of the day, commit everything undone to Me; don't hold on to it and let it burden or discourage you. This is My work and I will take care of what you can't.

The greatest physical strength is but a mere fraction of the strength and power you can have in the spirit. The flesh must work and train and push to gain strength and endurance. To gain spiritual strength‚ all you must do is to show up at My chambers, rest in My arms, listen to My whispers, and, hand in Mine, follow where I lead.

Enjoy the little things‚ for they are the essence of life. Appreciate the senses I have given you; use them to their fullest. When you look, see. When you eat, taste. When you hear‚ listen. When you touch, feel. When you smell, let the scent fill your whole body. It is only when you take My blessings for granted that life loses its luster.

Passion is the soul of life. Passion in prayer brings speedy answers. Passion in work yields great success. Passion in love brings fulfillment. Passion in life opens the door to joy. Passion in spirit brings complete satisfaction.

When you lift your arms in praise you lift your spirit up to Me. In that moment of praise I touch your spirit and infuse you with a little of Mine.

The greatest thing that can ever be said of you is that you lived and died for Me.

My dear one, how I love your love for Me! It astounds Me‚ it delights Me, it gives Me such pleasure. Come, let us love all day long, and never leave our bed. Let us love in the spirit even while you're working, even while you're eating, even while you're talking with others. Let us never leave each other's side, and I will be content.

Let this day be one in which you see Me in everything—the good and the so-called bad—because all the good and sweet and pleasant things are My love gifts to you‚ and all the so–called bad things are only things I allow so that I may help you through them, and thus show you more of My love.

Did you know that I fell in love with you the first moment I saw you? I love you and never want to be away from you, not for an instant.

Thank you for being My forever love. I am so thankful for brides like you who keep their oil burning, who are faithful to fight to come spend time with Me, even when it's difficult. You have strength that you know not of, because I am your strength, and I never run out.

Times of separation from loved ones can be some of the hardest times on Earth‚ but they can also be some of the sweetest, because I can draw you together in spirit as never before. You are still one with those who have gone away; you are not together physically‚ but you are together in spirit. And when you are together physically once again, I will cement your hearts with the sweet bond you have always known, only richer and fuller than before because it has undergone sacrifice for My sake.

Let My love be your all in all. I love you and will give you everything you need, every need and even your desires, because you delight yourself in Me and want only what is best for My work and My Kingdom.

In the moments when your heart is lonely, remember that I am right here to fill your need. I will give you kisses from Heaven, straight from My throne. I will cuddle you in My throne, because it is very big—big enough for you too. And I will even send you earthly loves to love you for Me. That's how great My love is for you.

Do you know that I see every tear, I feel every heartache, I understand every trial? I understand it all, and I have the antidote, too. So please don't hesitate to tell Me whenever you feel a bit down‚ okay? I will send whatever will fill the void‚ and relieve that little trial or ache or unpleasant feeling—for it is My desire that you are happy each and every day.

These days away from your loved ones are a time of testing for you, and I understand, because I was away from My Father. Sometimes the time seemed so long, and when it did, I withdrew and went to talk with Him. He eased My heart with the assurance that I was doing it for a good cause—for you! And now, you are enduring this separation for the blessing that it will be for My work. Although it's not easy, I will bless you for your sacrifice, My dear one. I see, I know, and I will repay.

My darling, you are never lost to My love. You are never without Me. You are never too bad, or too ugly, or too this or that. You can never be too anything for Me, because I find you wonderful, marvelous, and I delight in having you not just as My girlfriend, but as My wife. Ah, such a wonderful wife you are to Me! Thank you for your love for Me. I love you too.

This is a special day‚ because you are here with Me. I will not fail to show you My love each and every time you turn to Me today. I will not fail to fill your love cup to overflowing, to send you all that you need, to keep you close to Me and drinking in My Words and loving Me and receiving My seeds, and sucking for more, so you can get every last drop of My love. Do you wonder how you will be able to do that all day long? Just try it and see! Ha! It will be fun!

This wonderful day is made to show you how much I love you. I made the sunrise, the blossoms that come out even in inclement weather‚ the beautiful flight of the bird as it arcs in the sky, the twinkly smile of your little one. I made all these so that you would know just how much I love you. I will do anything to make you sure of My love.

You are so special to Me. I love the way your eyes are so sincere, the way your smile sparkles, the way your hair shines, the way your feet and hands are so graceful. You are wonderfully beautiful, and I did a great job making you, if I may say so Myself! Thank you for returning My love—it means so much to Me.

On this day, I wish you to know that I won't send you anything that you and I can't take care of together. In fact, I never will! All through your life, I'll only send you those things which will be a victory for you as you turn to Me and let Me walk through them with you, fight for you, and give you peace and happiness inside.

This is a special day, because it gives Me one more opportunity to tell you that I love you, to show you that I love you, to keep you close to My heart and to fill you with wonderful Words and kisses every time you turn to Me. I look forward to showing you My love today!

When you look at the days apart from your mate, it is easy to see the lack, but I see it as a wonderful time that will bring forth much fruit for Me. I see it as a time of such sweet closeness and communion and lovemaking that we have together. And I pray to My Father that we will continue to love each other as fervently and deeply when your mate returns as we have in these days while he was away. For I love you so much, and I am so thankful for these days of increased fellowship with you.

Thank you for having the determination and courage to fight the Enemy. Thank you for not heeding his lies, for not letting him ruin your day, for not listening when he tells you awful things. I only have love and peace and happiness for you, My very, very dear one. So if you are wondering about anything, just ask Me, and I'll explain it to you and give you My peace and assurance in your heart.

It's wonderful how you exhibit faith in Me, My dear. It makes it possible for Me to open up mysteries to you, to expand your mind to receive things from the limitless realm of the spirit, and strengthen your heart and soul with secrets from My throne. I love to pour out secrets to you, so don't forget to ask Me questions whenever you wonder about anything, and I will be right there to answer you.

This day is a marvelous one, and I'm looking forward to all that we will do together. I love to walk through the day with you, staying just over your shoulder, whispering in your ear, giving you assurances of My love and sharing secrets from My heart. Oh, I love to direct your work, keep you on track, and give you guidance and counsel. But My favorite is the love words we tell each other. I enjoy that and can't get enough of the love we share.

Don't stop loving Me and praising Me, My dear one‚ even if you're busy‚ even if you have trials, even if things pile up around you. As you love Me, and praise Me, and let Me know about your burdens, they will melt away. I will take them away. I will make everything easier, because you are My loved one, and I have given you the garment of praise that will make your life flow smoothly, and also keep you close to Me.

In all that you do for Me today‚ remember that I appreciate each and every act, all the jobs‚ every little iota of work done for Me. I know many times you may not think of it as work for Me, if you're taking care of your children, cleaning up, preparing food, or doing something mechanical. But I look at each task as a song of praise to Me‚ because you've offered it as a sacrifice to Me. I appreciate it‚ and see it as such, and I thank you.

Thank you for serving Me—I couldn't do without you. You are so precious to Me that if you turn away for one instant in your heart, I am so sad. I love to have your love, your service, and most of all‚ I love to have your heart.

This is a day in which I will look for new ways to show you My love, so that you will never, ever doubt it. I don't ever wish for you to doubt that you are extremely special to Me, and that if you were the only one on Earth, I would have suffered and agonized and died just for you—you are just that special and wonderful to Me.

Today‚ let's have fun, shall we? Shall we enjoy each other? Shall we enjoy all that I've done in your life? Shall we enjoy the blessing of loving one another? I love your praises and I love to praise you in return, so let's start the day by loving each other in words, and I'll continue through the day loving you back in any way I can.

It's wonderful to see your joy and your praise of Me. I can't live without it, and it means so much to Me. I can never get enough. Thank you for loving Me—you will never regret it, because I will give you back many more blessings than you can even contain, I promise.

On this day, there will be special surprises for you—in My Word, in the smile of another, in the specific job you do for Me. Look for these surprises, because they will show you My love. I have hidden these surprises all throughout your day for you to find, so you will remember all day long how very much I love you.

This is a wonderful day, because we have 24 hours before us to enjoy each other. I love you and think you're wonderful. Did I ever tell you that? I think you're just absolutely, smashingly beautiful‚ and it never ceases to amaze Me that you love Me as you do. In return, I will give you everything you need, because I know you will use it to give right back to Me.

It's wonderful that you let Me work through you. You let Me love you and enjoy you and inspire you and give you all you need for your work, your play, your time with your children, your friendships, your daily schedule. I love to fill you and lead you and help you. Thank you for letting Me do all of this for you because I love you so much.

In Me you find your perfect calling, your reason for being, your all in all. I do allow earthly love and physical benefits for your enjoyment, and I send them as blessings for your love and devotion to Me. But I am glad that you are seeing how in the last analysis, I am what you live for‚ and I bring you the ultimate in happiness, the heights of joy, the outer limits of ecstasy. You are Mine, and because of that, I will not cease to load My benefits upon you‚ so that you will draw closer and closer to Me.

It's easy for you to look at others and think that they have an easier time than you do, but really, others have hard times that you don't know about. And in these hard times‚ I am just as much there for them as I am for you. But when we come through the hard times together, we are so much closer‚ and that benefit turns even the hard times into happy times. Isn't that right? We love each other more than ever, and I am more yours than ever before.

It's a wonderful thing for Me to know and love you, My love. I think of the many ways you please Me, and My heart sings with joy and contentment. In all that you say and do for Me‚ know that I am pleased with your sacrifice and devotion to Me.

Thank you for your love. Thank you for your faith. Thank you for your service. Thank you for your devotion. Thank you for your sacrifice. Thank you for your perseverance. Thank you, above all, for loving Me. I love you and I see every iota of your being that you have given to Me.

It's a wonderful thing to be loved by you, because that means I can love you back! I can shower you with blessings all day long, and that's what I intend to do. Thank you for staying close to Me‚ so I can bless you in return.

Expect miracles today! I know that there are some situations that appear very difficult and burdensome, but remember that all things are possible through the power of the keys! Remember to call on the keys for help, and they will unlock doors you know not of! Use their power!

I want you to take some special time with Me today. It doesn't have to be a big, extra chunk of time. Take advantage of those little moments when you are in between things, or doing something that doesn't take a lot of thinking‚ to talk to Me and commune with Me, and we can have little "quickies" throughout the day.

I love you with an everlasting love that will never fade away! You are My precious, luscious, sexy, desirable bride! Revel in My love today, bathe yourself in it, and let it completely overwhelm and envelop you.

Remember to cast all your cares and burdens on Me. You can even make it a mental picture—every time you feel the cares and burdens of this life‚ picture yourself taking that backpack of burdens and throwing it off your shoulders and then walking away from it. Don't even look back, wondering if I'm going to take care of your burdens. I will. I promise to take all your burdens upon Myself, as My Word says. Will you do that for Me today?

You have My sunshine! Even though sometimes the day appears cloudy and gray, you have My sunshine in your heart every day, 24 hours, day and night. Don't ever forget that, okay? No matter how dark and cloudy it looks on the outside, remember the sunshine from Me that I can shed abroad in your heart.

I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you! Seven times seven and seven more, and seventy times seven, and seven million, billion, trillion, gazillion times seven more, I love you! My love for you is never–ending, everlasting‚ and beyond infinity! I love you!

Remember to "seize the moment." Don't get so caught up in your work and service for Me that you neglect to notice and appreciate the little things—My creation, a compliment‚ a meal lovingly prepared, a comfortable bed, the starry night, etc. Take time to stop and enjoy and even revel in these little things I bring along your way each and every day.

Don't be discouraged. I know you're anxious and eager to learn, do‚ see, be, and accomplish much for Me, but you get frustrated sometimes by your lacks and "human-ness." Just remember to lighten up, let go, and let Me‚ and together we're going to make progress and win battles.

You are a vessel of My love. You are My hands, My arms, My mouth. Find someone today who needs encouragement and put those lovely arms around them, stroke them with your beautiful hands, and give them a loving kiss with those sweet lips of yours. I want to use you today to be an encouragement to someone who desperately needs to know that they're loved and appreciated. Keep in tune with Me and I will show you who that is. Thank you for being a willing vessel of My love.

We have lots to accomplish together today. I know you have a lot to do, but remember, it's not by your might or your power, but by My Spirit and strength that things will be accomplished. Just be a holy hole today, a blank sheet of paper. Hear My whispers, ask Me everything, and call on the power of the keys‚ and you'll be amazed at all we will be able to do today. I'm excited about it! Are you?

Tell Me what you want and see if I will not deliver.

The year is before you‚ and there are great things in store. Your wish is My command in our teamworking relationship. Your portfolio is to do the asking; My portfolio is to do the supplying.

All your days will be blessed by Me. All of them are measured, and everything that comes your way must have My permission before it happens.

My darling, what a special love you are to Me. I rejoice in the victories you've won and the spiritual advances you've made. You've reached out and have taken hold of the new powers and spiritual gifts I've offered you, and you're glowing and shining with radiance because of it. Your powers against the Enemy have increased manifold.

Take heart, knowing that this year will be a good one for you. It will be a happy one. You will find peace and a cozy nest in which to make your home. You will be fulfilled and content, and you will see the fruits of your many labors bringing forth that which you have desired—victory and beauty.

Can you see the pretty picture I'm drawing for you? I'm drawing it in the sky for you—the sunset in all its magnificence and glory. This will be a special token of My love to you this year‚ and you will enjoy much, much beauty.

Don't worry about what's to come. I have a special niche already created for you, in the hollow of My hand. No harm will come to you, and I will not ask more of you than you are able to bear. I will make a way of escape and I will provide your every need.

I have called you to the Kingdom for such a time as this. Your heart of love will be needed to help mend and to heal the hurts of those around you. You will be an encourager, a lifter up, a binder of wounds, a bringer of joy. You will have a ministry of giving happiness and shining My light and love on others.

This will be a good year for you. Reach out and take hold of the things that I'm giving you. There are presents and surprises of all sizes and varieties. I'm not going to withhold one good thing from you, because I love you.

I have given you love, life, and happiness. You've given your all to Me. Believe Me, you will see the sacrifices that you've made transform into rewards this year in great abundance, and in just the ways you appreciate.

I will be your strength and your comfort. When you feel tired and as if you can't take another step, allow Me to sweep you off your feet and give you peace and rest. Allow Me to nurse you back to full strength, and put My seeds within you.

Never say you can't. I have given you the gift of rising to meet any challenge. You will not come upon a river that is too high or raging for you to cross; a mountain too steep and rugged to climb; an obstacle too threatening to overcome. You will conquer all, with My arms underneath you.

I love you so much! Let Me shower you with treasures on your birthday. Lie in My arms and let Me massage your body, and give you thoughts of pleasure and love. Let Me envelop you in the warm security of My arms. Let Me take you for a spirit trip. Let Me love you through your mates. Let Me encourage you through your co–workers.

It's never too late to step out and try something new. Don't let this year hold you back in any way. Look at it as a clean slate, a new start, a fresh try.

As you face today, think on all the positive that is to come. Don't dwell on the things that you dread—for they will be positive too, as they work to make your spirit stronger. Think of the joy that you give Me each time you choose to please Me.

I'll make you happier than you can imagine, for all things that seem hard to you right now will pass away, and the things that you've learned will lift you to wonderful heights. There won't be tears of difficulty and pain in the day when you are given your rewards.

I know just what you need, and I know how to make full compensation for any loss or hard things now. Keep fighting. The crown will be given to you for winning the race and making it to the goal line, even though it was hard a lot of the time.

You can praise Me no matter what you're doing. Try it: Thank Me for My power, for the things I've done, for the things that are recorded in the Word—while you go about your day. If you're walking, you can tell Me something you love about Me; while you eat you can think thoughts of thankfulness for My care of you—how you're surrounded in love. As your praises flow‚ you will feel My arms around you.

I love you more than you could even imagine or realize. I have special things planned for us to be able to do together—you and I, in Heaven—that will really make you happy. Every day you keep letting Me give you the grace to fight on‚ and every day I set aside more treasures and new joys for you to experience when you get here. You'll be so glad that you held on through it all when you see My face.

Don't look at the rough road‚ but up at the bright rainbow; not at the mud, but at the smiles in others' eyes; not at the rocks in the way, but at the flowers; not at the sores and calluses, but at the strength you've gained; not at the pain, but at the joy you will know forever. There's nothing you've gone through that I don't have the perfect reward planned in return that will make it so very worth it.
