Paul exhorted the church to do all things without murmuring and disputing. It is so easy to get into the flesh and begin to murmur when things do not go your way. The children of Israel were in the wilderness for forty years because they constantly murmured.
Murmuring is complaining to someone else. If you have a complaint, I want you to take your complaint to Me. David, the psalmist, was a man after My heart because he poured out all of his complaints to Me.
I welcome your complaints. If the children of Israel had come to My Father directly with their complaints instead of murmuring to one another and complaining to Moses, their stay in the wilderness would have been shortened. If there is anything that you are not happy about, talk to Me about it and also pray about it. I welcome every time you communicate with Me.
PHILIPPIANS 2:14

FLESH
The word, "flesh," is mentioned many times in My Word. In most cases this word means the soul of man. You are a spirit. You have a soul (mind, will, emotion) and you live in a body.
I told My disciples to watch and pray while I went aside to pray the night I was betrayed. I found them sleeping when I returned and I told them that "the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. I was saying that the human part (mind, will, and emotion) of their being was weak.
Your soul is weak in the areas called lusts. Lusts developed when Adam and Eve sinned. The lust of the flesh (seeking to satisfy your five senses in an addictive way), the lust of the eye (greedy longings and vain imaginations in your mind), and the lust of the pride of life (trusting in yourself more than you trust in Me) cause your flesh to be weak. Call on Me to fight your battle when Satan tempts you in these weak areas.
MATTHEW 26:41; 1 JOHN 2:15-17

STATION
I want you to station yourself in the place of thanksgiving, praise, and worship all day long no matter where you might be during a day's time. Do not limit your time of thanksgiving, praise, and worship to your quiet times with Me.
The place of thanksgiving, praise, and worship is like a safe pavilion that keeps you from the strife of tongues and stress. You enter the gates of My presence with thanksgiving and my courts with praise.
I am always with you, but you will only recognize My presence with you when you focus on Me. Your thanksgiving and praise will lead you into worship where you forget about yourself and concentrate on Me. People in your day have a phrase, "I need to go to my happy place." The happiest place you can be is in My presence where I will infuse you with My joy that will give you strength for the whole day.

REVEAL
My Word is full of truths that will set you free from any bondage that you are experiencing today. I told My disciples that if they continued in My Word, they would be set free. This is what I want you to do. When you continue in My Word, you truly will be My disciple.
My enemy wants to divert you from the truths of My Word. Have you noticed how often you miss reading My Word in a day's time? This can be avoided when you keep a Bible in your car, your office, and every room in your home.
It only takes a few minutes to read a chapter out in My Word. Before you begin to read My Word, pray first. Ask My Holy Spirit to breathe His anointing upon the words you read. My Spirit will then be able to not only reveal My truths to you, but He also will help you apply those truths.
JOHN 8:31-32

DECLINE
As you age, it is human to begin to see how your strength seems to be declining. You cannot do what you used to do either because of age, an injury, or a health issue. When you notice any decline physically, emotionally, mentally, or spiritually, this is the moment to tap into My strength.
My strength is made perfect in your weakness. You may ask Me how you can tap into My strength. Here are a few verses that you can declare out loud and as you do this, strength will come:
"The joy of the Lord is my strength (Nehemiah 8:10)."
"The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength....(Psalm 18:2)."
"It is God Who girds me with strength and makes my way perfect (Psalm 18:32)."
"The Lord is the strength of My life; of whom shall I be afraid (Psalm 27:1)."
"Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart (Psalm 27:14....)"
There are many more declarations that you can make out loud when you feel weak. Look them up and declare them.

TRUST
Trust is the foundation that relationships are built upon. If trust is not established between two people, there will always be the doubt that the promises that are made will not be kept and the acceptance of one another is not sincere.
Your relationship with Me is built upon trust. You can have strong confidence that I will fulfill My promises to you. In fact, all the promises that are revealed in My Word are "yes" and "amen" through Me.
My enemy's strategy is to get you to doubt My Word. He is successful when you are leaning on your own understanding. I want you to trust Me with all of your heart, not your mind. Faith and trust are a matter of the heart, not your mind. Ask My Spirit today to open the eyes of your understanding so that you can receive and believe My Word.

DAYLIGHT
It seems that the days go by faster when you are aging. Remember when you were a teenager, and you thought you would never reach that magical age of sixteen.
I am not bound by time. Yesterday is as one thousand years in My sight. The day will come when there will be no night. When you reach the New Jerusalem, My light will envelop you for all eternity.
I am the light of the world and on the day you were conceived, I was present. I am the light Who lights every person who comes into the world. Now I have chosen you to be My light that can shine even in the midst of dark times. I commanded My light to shine out of darkness into your heart to give you the light of My glory in My face. Release the warmth and light of My love to others today.
PSALM 90:4; JOHN 1:9; 2 CORINTHIANS 4:6
