Words & Whispers

I hear the Lord say:

Peace is what you want but what are you doing to receive it?

I hold out peace to you. Will you take it? 

 Choose you this day whom you will serve: 

       peace or pain?       trust or fear?        truth or lies?

Do you believe I can do what I say?

Do you believe in My promises?

I offer Life, Joy and Peace – receive it, absorb it, digest it.

Abide with Me.

You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you because he trusts in you.

Isaiah 26:3  ESV

I hear the Lord say:

Let Me reassure you. I will never leave you or forsake you. All may crumble around you but I am here, at your side, 24/7.  Life has challenges and championships. Circumstances come and go. My steadfast love never ceases. Be assured that I hear your prayers and I am acting on your behalf. 

The grief is real; it is painful… but don’t let it cloud your picture of My goodness. You know  the phrase “God is good.. all the time.” Remember that you were once in a pit and I pulled you out. I brought you supernatural peace. I work for your good but you must trust Me in the timing. Your prayers for your loved ones line up with my wishes for all My children – to repent of sin and turn to Me in love and expectation for a new mind, a new outlook, a new purpose, a new life abiding in Me.  Keep praying with expectation – it will come to pass!

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.

I hear the Lord say:

Blessings, blessings, blessings – blessings fall on you like rain this day. My anointing oil drips from heaven and covers you. My holy comfort envelopes  you. Warmth from the sun, gentle caresses of a breeze, and the sight of bright yellow daffodils will remind you of my unfailing love. Sing songs of praise, stand firm in the faith, know that I am God.

Isaiah 41:10 : I will strengthen you, I will help you; I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”  There is none like Me. There is none like you. My plan and purpose for you will be fulfilled.

For I am the LORD your God who takes hold of your right hand

and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.

Isaiah 41:13  NIV

Lord, I praise your holy name. I forget not your benefits.

Your goodness is evident. Your faithfulness is true.

I am strengthened by your Word and promises. You say ‘yes’ and ‘amen’ to my prayers.

Your Word is a light to my feet. I take each step in the light of your goodness. Your path is sure. My feet are secure. You guide me and protect me. You cover me with blessings.

I shout for joy at the work of your hands. I declare victory of the schemes of the enemy. Your power is my power. I rejoice in the horn of your salvation. With trumpets and cymbals, I praise the name of the Lord!

~Selah~

No wonder the peoples praise you! Let all the people praise you more!

Psalm 67:5  TPT

I hear the Lord say:

Today, lift up your eyes. See My glory in the sun, in the clouds, in the sound of laughter. The echo of time reverberates through eternity. Deep calls to deep. My world is at peace. Join Me in My throne room, where cares disappear and worry dissolves.

For the same God who made everything, our Creator and our mighty maker,

he himself is our helper and defender!

Psalm 124:8  TPT

I hear the Lord say:

Time marches on, they say. Time can seem fleeting and time can seem dragging. Your perception of time is the key. Anticipating a positive event makes waiting a frustration. Anticipating a negative event makes you feel fearful. Your perspective is the key. Anticipate blessings from Me and you will arise each day in joyful expectation. You awake with songs of gladness. You look for blessings and ways to bless.  Focus on possible negative events and you sink in the miry clay. Time is not be be feared but embraced. It’s not a race against the clock. Be deliberate with your time.  Make conscious choices how to spend your time.

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous.

Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed,

for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

Joshua 1:9  ESV

I hear the Lord say:

An hour, a minute, a day — all time spent with Me is fruitful. Changing your character requires more time, dedication and patience.  Daily renewing your mind, taking thoughts captive and forming new pathways in your mind is an ongoing process.  Don’t despair when you lose focus or falter. I am here to pick you up and set you back on solid ground.

Take heart in remembering that victory is assured.  Keep your eyes on the prize – the upward call of following Me, your Savior and King.

Follow the path of love. Be filled with My love so you can share My love.

But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;

they shall mount up with wings like eagles;

they shall run and not be weary;

they shall walk and not faint.

Isaiah 40:31  ESV
