 For everyone who “wills”, I will.  I will do all that you believe and receive.  My glory is dropping like sweet drops of rain all around, for everyone who will stand in the rain of My glory, they will receive what is needed at this moment.

 
Good morning,
 
    For everyone who "wills", I will.  I will do all that you believe and receive.  My glory is dropping like sweet drops of rain all around, for everyone who will stand in the rain of My glory, they will receive what is needed at this moment.  For many it is healing, for others it is deliverance or revelation, still for others it is a closer walk with Me.  You have been crying and asking, and I am your Father, and know that there is not a prayer that comes across your lips that I do not desire to answer.  And I desire to answer speedily, and others I work on to bring you to a place where you really want what I want, and when we are in agreement, I will flood into your life, everything that you have asked and believed Me for.  I Am waiting, many times for you to line up with My word that has been spoken, so that you can receive what I have for you.  There is so much, so much that I want to give, do, and reveal to you.  Any good father wants to bless his child, any good father wants to give to their children everything that they have need of, and to share all that they have.  So know that My desire is for you, always for you, to be highly blessed and highly favored over all men.  All I need from you is a willing heart of obedience to My Word, and to patiently wait on Me.  For I Am doing more than you can understand in your life.  I know that you see and feel things, but you must not to be moved by those things, only by My Word.  For I Am constantly doing things beyond your seeing and your feeling.  I Am working things out for your good.  I know what is for your good and that is what I Am working on for you.  So wait on Me, I Am faithful and dependable and I Am trustworthy.  I will do exactly what My Word says, I cannot lie.  I cannot lie, every promise that I have given you I have sealed it with a yes, and an amen from Me.  I will keep My Word to you.  I will keep My promises to you.  Just stand under My grace and be saturated by My grace, and My ability will keep you.  My ability will cause you to be able to wait and not lose hope, and you will not grow weary, and you will not faint.  You will see your desire come and it will come upon you for I Am faithful says the Lord.
 
    “My grace is sufficient for you [My lovingkindness and My mercy are more than enough—always available—regardless of the situation]; for [My] power is being perfected [and is completed and shows itself most effectively in [your] weakness.” Therefore, I will all the more gladly boast in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ [may completely enfold me and] may dwell in me." (2 Corin. 12:9)
    
    "And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose." (Rom. 8:28)
 
    "Do not hide Your face from me in the day of my distress!  Incline Your ear to me; In the day when I call, answer me quickly." (Ps. 102:2)

As we experience God’s deliverance it causes us to be complete in our body, mind, emotions, appetites, and our will; His peace makes us whole in every area of our lives.  We have a lot to be thankful for!

 
Good morning,
 
     "As for me, I will call upon God; and the Lord shall save me.  Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and He shall hear my voice.  He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me." (Ps.55:16-18)  When we call on God He will save [deliver; liberate; make us victorious].  "He has delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me", what a great promise to us!  When I call to God He answers me with His deliverance for my soul [mind, will, emotions, appetite], by giving me His peace.  Peace means soundness, wholeness, and completeness, health, prosperity, quiet, tranquility, and contentment.  As we experience God's deliverance it causes us to be complete in our body, mind, emotions, appetites, and our will; His peace makes us whole in every area of our lives.  We have a lot to be thankful for!  The  greatest part of this verse to me is that God gives us this completeness, right when the battle is against us.  In the midst of warfare, we need to have soundness of mind, body, emotions, and tranquility, so that we can hear God's directions and instructions for our next step.  Remember we must be able to run this race without being so encumbered by so many weights.  "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up.  And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us." (Hebrews 12:1)  Weights are whatever is prominent, bulky, a mass, hence a burden or an encumbrance.  The very things that we carry in our minds, will, emotions, and our body too; these things that make us not complete, or sound, or tranquil.  Weights keep us burdened down and not moving as the Lord desires us to do.  It is hard to run with a mass in your mind, or your body, or your spirit.  We must desire peace, not drama and chaos.
     Let's put a stop to the lawlessness, disorder, discord, and anarchy that runs rampant in our souls, we can do it too.  Let's strive for the peace of God.  Listen to the way peace is described; "And God's peace [shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." (Phil. 4:7)  That is the peace that God gives right in the midst of the battle.  The kind of peace, that transcends [over the top; rises above; to surpass; be superior; go beyond] all of our understanding.  We must seek this kind of "over the top and superior peace."  God is not the author of confusion, chaos, or disorder, but He is the God of over the top and surpassing peace.  We can always have it by practicing keeping and fixing our mind, our emotions, appetites, and our will on the God of peace.  You can have it on your job, at home, at church, in your relationships, and in all kinds of trouble.  "You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind [both its inclination and its character] is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You." (Isa. 26:3)  Our soul, mind, will, emotions, and appetites, can always be in a superior state of peace, even in the midst of the battle, but it can only be accomplished by keeping our mind on Him, and then He guards our mind.  In peace we can truly hear Him, regardless of the battles.  Keep crying out to Him, evening, morning, and noon, let your voice be heard!
 
Love,
