Words & Whispers

I hear the Lord say:

You are my beloved. Don’t chastise yourself so much. Accept your weakness instead of apologizing for it.  Remember the apostle Paul shared that he boasted in his weaknesses so all things he accomplished pointed back to Me, his Savior.  (2 Cor. 11:30)

You were right to renew your focus on Me and offer yourself as a living vessel of My love. I will show you how to do this. I will bring to mind people to pray for, events to pray for, and words to share.

If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness. 2 Cor 11:30 ESV

But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you,

for my power is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:9  ESV

I hear the Lord say:

Dear one, I am teaching you day by day of My wisdom. Be patient. It’s not going to be downloaded like a computer. It will come in time as you continue to seek My face and listen to My voice. You are listening more and better each day.  Your desire for a deeper walk with Me will be fulfilled.  Stay in My will and keep seeking.  Never be satisfied with today.  Just as your human body hungers and thirsts, so continue to hunger and thirst for more of Me.

Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.”   John 6:35 ESV

I hear the Lord say:

I am the Light of the World. Let your light shine so others can share in My Goodness.  Put all your cares in My Hands; from the greatest to the least. Let Me take care of all of them.  No concern is too trivial for Me.  I know your thoughts before you think them.  So start every day in surrender to My will, in union with My authority and in confidence of My Sovereignty.  Daily die to self; daily pick up your cross and follow Me. Lean on Me for wisdom, insight and guidance. Put Me first and watch how your day unfolds, in appreciation and thankfulness!

I have come into the world as light,

so that whoever believes in me

may not remain in darkness.

John 12:46  ESV

I hear the Lord say:

I am the vine. You are a branch. You and I are securely connected. You receive full health and strength from My vine. Apart from Me, you can do nothing. As you grow in strength and vitality, you will put forth blossoms and fruit for others to see and taste. On your own, you can do nothing. Let Me feed and nourish you daily. Let Me shoulder your burdens and cares. Open up your whole being to My power and strength. I will infuse you with creativity, insight, wisdom, compassion and love. Your blossoms will be lovely and appealing. Others will be drawn to Me through you. Let Me lead the way.

Abide in Me, and I in you.

As a branch cannot bear fruit by itself,

unless it abides in the vine, neither can you,

unless you abide in Me.

John 15:4  ESV

I hear the Lord say:

Recall how you woke up singing “You are light” this morning.  Your mind was focused on My joy and filled with joyful declaration. Take this with you today. Share this joy with others. Let your thoughts return to Me throughout the day. I am by your side. Your hunger for more of Me will be satisfied. Recognize your inability to do this in your own will and strength. You must call on Holy Spirit to gain greater faith, trust and love. Let Him guide you to greater insights and spiritual connection. He will reveal areas of your life to be purged, cleansed and renewed.  Be eager to accept His corrections. Be aware of traps and old mind-sets. Bring to mind My words and promises to keep you on My holy path.

Create in me a clean heart, O God,

And renew a right and steadfast spirit within me.

Psalm 51:10  AMP

I hear the Lord say:

I open the door wide for you to enter My kingdom. Come in and behold the splendor of it! The possibilities are endless as you join with Me in my purpose. Let Me guide you one day at a time to expand your vision. Put on your “God glasses” to see how I see.  Nothing is impossible. Don’t be surprised when opportunities arise, doors open, doors shut, or miracles happen. All circumstances are under my control.  Be assured that I will bring you into a deeper union with me.  The desires of your heart will be satisfied.

Then turning to the disciples, he (Jesus) said privately,

“Blessed are the eyes that see what you see!…”

Luke 10: 23     ESV

I hear the Lord say:

Be at peace, my love. All is well. You are choosing to surrender your day to Me and I will accomplish My purpose. You can rely on Me to get today’s duties accomplished and to do so with joy. Keep mindful of your sleep schedule. Take care of your rest so you can maintain a cheerful attitude.

I desire to bless you and show you how to rely on Me for big and little things. Keep seeking and you will see more and more how I can smooth the way.

You keep him in perfect peace

whose mind is stayed on you,

because he trusts in you.

Isaiah 26:3   ESV
