FAMILY

You are in the season when families gather together to give thanks to Me.  I love to see families enjoying their times with one another because I am a family God.

Before I ever was born on Earth, I was with My Father in heaven.  My Holy Spirit was also with us.  When you look at the role of Me, My Father, and the Holy Spirit, you will see how we are very much like a family.

My Father begot Me, and it was My joy to add many people to our family.  Those who believe in Me are joint heirs with Me.  After I left Earth, I sent My Holy Spirit to be with My family on Earth..  He fulfills the role of a mother.  He is a teacher, an encourager, a comforter, and a nurturer.  Tomorrow when you give thanks with your family around the table, give thanks to Me for being a part of our family.

JOHN 3:16

PAVILION

I dwell in the midst of your praises to Me.  When you praise and give thanks to Me, you form a spiritual gazebo around you.  .

The strife of tongues that fills the worldly atmosphere will be silenced.  In those silent moments wait upon Me.  Ask Me to give you a Scripture to read.  Then allow Me to minister to you My love.
Few believers take that opportunity to sit with Me in this beautiful pavilion.

If your spiritual eyes were opened, you could see a white pavilion with benches cushioned with white sateen pillows.  The garden around you is laced with colorful flowers embroidered on lush, green grass.  During this busy season,  I invite you to come to this pavilion every morning.  Here you will receive My strength for all that you have to do each day.

PSALM 31:20

DEFINE

People often define others by their past.  I never want you to do this.  When people commit their lives to Me by accepting Me as their Lord and Savior, old things are past, and all things become new.

Every person you meet has a story that they could tell about some things in their past that they would rather you not know about.  If you discover those past things that would define that person in a way that is not godly, I desire for you to not repeat those things.  Everyone has to tell their own story.

In the future as you look at people, pray that you can define them as I define them.  I define them as precious treasures who I seek to wrap in My love.  Others will see My love through you when you see people through My eyes.

2 CORINTHIANS 5:17

KIND

I created all kinds of species when I created the world.  The variety of sea creatures, mammals, insects, and other species are innumerable. When I created mankind, he was unique.  He is the only kind of mammal that can have continual, verbal communication with Me and others..

You encounter daily many kinds of human beings.  I recognize that there are some humans that you would never like to encounter like those who want to do you harm.  However, I exhorted you in My Word to bless your enemies and to do good to those who persecute you.

This is a tall order, and is something that you cannot do without the help of My Holy Spirit.  Today as you meet various kinds of people, I want you to be kind to them even when they are not kind to you.
Your communication with people always should be kind (forgiving others even as I have forgiven you.)

GENESIS 1 -7;  MATTHEW 5:44; EPHESIANS 4:32

LESSONS

All of life's lessons are in one book.  That book is My Word.  I would challenge you to read through the Bible in a year, and then write down all the life lessons that you have learned.

Reading the Bible and discovering those life lessons is worthy.  However, if you do not apply those lessons to your life, you will not benefit.  You can have all knowledge, but if you have no understanding of what you have learned, you will never experience My wisdom.

Wisdom is applied knowledge.  My wisdom is pure, peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. I want you to walk in My wisdom today.  Ask My Holy Spirit to give you understanding as you read My Word, and then ask Him for the power and anointing to obey My Word.

JAMES 3:17

OVERWHELM

You are entering a busy season, and sometimes I know you feel overwhelmed.  During this season, I want you to employ My Holy Spirit to be your "Helper."  In fact, I have given you My Spirit to guide and direct you every moment of the day.

I want you to listen carefully, moment by moment, to My Spirit as He tells you the next thing to do.  I have heard the saying, "Inch by inch, it is a synch. Mile by mile, it takes a while." I want you to live in the moment because faith can only work moment by moment in your life.

Faith comes by hearing and hearing by My Word.  Your top priority this season is to listen to the voice of My Spirit, and you will be able to tap into the supernatural help of My Spirit. As you commit your day and your works to Him in the morning, He will overwhelm you with My peace and joy  moment by moment.

HEBREWS 4:16; 13:6, PSALM 37:5; PROVERBS 16:3

REVISE

When plan A fails, you usually have a plan B.  This means you will have to revise your first plan to fit the circumstances that you are now facing. 

I have a plan for your life, and there is no plan B.  Your days are written in your book of life and even all the works that I created for you to do are also written there. You cannot revise My plan, but you can go your own way instead of My way each day because I have given you free will.

My plans for you are for good, not for evil, to give you a purpose and a hope and an expected end.  Today pray that you will be on the same page that I am reading in your book of life.  There are many chapters yet to finish in your life.   Yield to My Spirit daily, and He will accomplish through you every good work I have planned for you.
