INTENTIONS

I know that you often have said, "I intended to do that, but I forgot."  Sometimes you also have doubted whether or not your intentions were good or bad.

Only My Word can help you discern where your thoughts and intentions are coming from.  When Satan sends you thoughts that are contrary to My Word, take those thoughts captive and give them to Me.

If you are walking in My ways, most of your intentions will be good because intentions are in the heart, not the mind.  When your heart is surrendered to Me, your intentions will be good. Check your thoughts and intents out with what My Word says.

2 CORINTHIANS 10:4-6; HEBREWS 4:12

DELUSION

At the end day God will allow strong delusion to come upon those who refuse the truth about Me. It is important to recognize that Satan himself is under strong delusion.

Satan has the power to deceive, but he is deceived himself because he truly believes that he will have his victory.

Any victory that Satan could have was destroyed when I became the perfect sacrifice so that those who believe in Me could be redeemed.  Take heart during these dark times.  I have already won the battle and the victory is yours.

2 THESSALONIANS 2:11

DISMAYED

When you look at the darkness that is shrouding the world now, it is easy for you to become dismayed. Whenever you are dismayed, I want you to remember the words of the prophet Isaiah to Jacob:

Isaiah 41:10: "Fear not; for I am with you: be not dismayed; for I am your God.  I will strengthen you; yes, I will help you; yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness."

I promise to strengthen, help, and uphold you during these times.  Pray this promise over yourself and others and especially over Israel during these days of war in My land.

ISAIAH 41:10

STRONG

My strength will help you not to stagger in your faith.  Even though Abraham did not know Me personally,  he knew My Father, Who was and is the God of Abraham, Jacob, and Isaac.

He was told that he would have a child from his own loins.  He had to wait twenty five  years before this promise was fulfilled and he was 100 years old when Isaac was born.

Abraham staggered not at the promise My Father gave him. He was strong in faith, giving glory to God. The strength to believe this promise came from Me.  You may be waiting on the fulfilment of a promise I have given you.  Call on My strength to help you to keep believing.  You will see it fulfilled.

ROMANS 4:20

Grounded

Pray daily for My beloved believers to be grounded and settled and to not be moved away from the hope of the gospel. You live in a time when many are falling away from the faith and other believers have lost all hope. 

Hope is the anchor of your soul.  Hope in Me and My promises will keep your mind at peace, your emotions from wavering, and your will steadfast to do My will.

When you put all of your hope in Me and not in the world's solutions to the many problems in the world, you will have good discernment and will not be swayed by the many false doctrines being preached in this day.

COLOSSIANS 1:23

WORTHY

My servant Paul discipled many people and planted many churches.  He prayed constantly for those churches to be faithful and fruitful.

Paul prayed that the believers who he discipled would be filled with the knowledge of My will and also  wisdom and spiritual understanding.

He prayed that they might walk worthy of the LORD and that they might be fruitful in every good work as they increased in the knowledge of Me.  This is a worthy prayer for you to pray for your children, other believers, and future generations.

COLOSSAISNS 1:9-10

DEFENCE

My servant Paul wrote how some were preaching the gospel out of contention, envy or strife, Others were preaching the gospel out of love.

Paul said that he was always ready to defend the gospel.  There are many churches in your culture today who are not preaching the gospel at all.  

Pray for the many who have yet to hear the truth of the gospel of Christ and thereby be saved.  Paul said he was never ashamed of the gospel because it was the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes.  Be ready to share the gospel with those who have not heard it.

PHILIPPIANS 1:15-17; ROMANS 1:16
