Good Morning,
Hear the Spirit of the Lord;
This year will be a time to dig deeper in order to experience the new that I have for you. There will be rare and unique opportunities available to My children to advance the Kingdom. It is paramount for you to be attentive, for there will be a blowing away of old issues. Shackles and bonds will fall off, as you continue to meditate on My promises to you. Decisions and choices that you make will change your course, so make sure that they are formed from My Word. Holy Spirit will assist you to stay on My course, far from accusing tongues. My favor will surround you and crown your year with a bountiful harvest, even the hard pathways will overflow in abundance. This overflow is in various ways, it will affect the whole man. All who will abide under My shadow, I will lavish My protection upon.
I hear your voice as you cry out to Me in the night season, I Am your rescue and your deliverance. I have chosen you and you are My special possession. My love for you is passionate and strong, I will not let you down. I will accomplish My will for you, it may seem impossible now, but there is nothing impossible to Me. I say to you now, be strong and accomplish the work that I have given you to do. I Am bringing everything together, for it is time, it is all working according to My plan. Remain faithful to My plan, for a reward awaits all who run to obtain it.
Join me as I think on this verse today. "Be careful then, dear brothers and sisters. Make sure that your own hearts are not evil and unbelieving, turning you away from the living God. You must warn each other every day, while it is still "today", so that none of you will be deceived by sin and hardened against God. For if we are faithful to the end, trusting God just as firmly as when we first believed, we will share in all that belongs to Christ." (Hebrews 3:12-14) Don't let anything move you away from the great foundation of your faith. I am doing my part to warn my brothers and sisters to keep believing, not to quit. Faithful to the end, here are a group of synonyms that we should look at to examine our walk to see if we are as firm as we were when we first believed. Are you, loyal, reliable, affectionate, ardent, constant, dependable, devoted, enduring, firm, genuine, obedient, sincere, steadfast, steady, trustworthy, unchanging, and unwavering, with and to God? Let's work on being as faithful to God as He is to us. "Test yourselves to make sure you are solid in the faith. Don't drift along taking everything for granted. Give yourselves regular checkups. You need firsthand evidence, not mere hearsay, that Jesus Christ is in you. Test it out. If you fail the test, do something about it. I hope the test won't show that we have failed. But if it comes to that, we'd rather the test showed our failure than yours. We're rooting for the truth to win out in you. We couldn't possibly do otherwise." (2 Corin. 13:5-8; Message Bible)
Love,
Pastor D.
