As you enter this new year, I know you are thinking about what your future may hold. The important thing to remember is that I hold your future. Before you were born divine appointments were written in your book of life.
The works that I want you to accomplish in this new year are also written in your book of life. I want you to daily pray in My name and cancel out any assignments that My enemy has to delay, disturb, or destroy the plans that I have for you.
All the plans I have for you in this new year are for good, not for evil to give you both a purpose and a hope. Ask My Spirit daily to help you stay on the same page of your book of life. You will be amazed at the amount of kingdom work that will be accomplished in this next year.
JEREMIAH 29:11-14

RESOLUTE
People usually make resolutions at the beginning of the new year. The advantage of making such resolutions at least gets the mind focused on accomplishing certain goals. I am a goal oriented God who loves to see you set goals for your physical, spiritual, and mental well being at the beginning of every new year.
Successfully meeting those goals, however, does not depend upon your own effort. I have sent you a "Helper" to help you meet those goals. My Spirit will help you as you moment by moment listen for His guidance. He knows your every weakness, and He will be able to help you not to give into your own fleshly desires.
Great things can only be accomplished through walking moment by moment in My Spirit. Release your resolutions and goals to Me for this next year, and then be resolute to depend upon My Spirit to help you instead of trying to meet those goals by your own fleshly efforts.
PROVERBS 16:3

RELAX
The ability to truly relax can only be accomplished through Me. Only I can give you the peace that passes your own understanding. I know how many thoughts whirl around your mind every day, but as you focus on Me and give those thoughts to Me, I will be able to remove those thoughts of confusion and worry.
I am not the author of confusion or worry. I gave you the invitation to daily give Me all of your burdens. I want you to do this the first thing in the morning as you arise from your sleep. Take just a few minutes to give Me all of your concerns, and then relax with the knowledge that only I am able to perfect those things that are a concern to you.
When you are able to relax in My peace, My Holy Spirit can prioritize your day in such a way that there will be times of complete relaxation in My presence. Then your day will be filled with joy because in My presence there is fullness of joy.

RED
I know it is a Christmas tradition to decorate homes and gifts in the colors of red and green. I like to think that the red represents My blood given for the remission of your sins, and that the green represents the peace that passes all understanding that I have given you as an inheritance.
Few people even think deeply about what these Christmas colors represent. Pray for those who only think of Christmas as a time to receive gifts. I am the gift that keeps on giving. Remember this as you put up the presents you have received this Christmas.
My Father so loved you that He gave Me as the perfect sacrifice to reconcile you to Him. My Father has purer eyes that to behold evil, and I took the sins of the world upon Myself when I died on the tree so that your sins will no longer separate you from knowing My Father's love. Let every Christmas season be a time not only to remember My birth, but also My death, burial and resurrection that has given you abundant and eternal life, and most of all fellowship with My Father.
JOHN 3:16; HABAKKUK 1:13

BIRTHDAYS
This is the day that you celebrate My birth. The story recorded in My Word is most amazing. My mother Mary carried Me in her womb, and Joseph and Mary parented Me throughout My childhood.
I know how hard it is for you to wrap your mind around the fact that I am God and Man. From the foundation of the Earth, My Father appointed Me to be the "Lamb of God," the perfect sacrifice to die for the sins of the whole world.
Even though I was not born on this day, I love this celebration. I am present at the conception of every person born on this earth. I truly am the "Light of the World." Who lights every person who is born on Earth. Pray for those who are still walking in darkness. Pray that My Father will draw them by the power of My Spirit to come to know Me as their Lord and Savior so that the angels and I can celebrate their rebirth into My Kingdom.

WEATHER
Ever since the Fall of mankind in the Garden, My enemy began his plan to not only corrupt mankind, but also to corrupt all of the world. Since that time, Earth has been in a downward pattern of corruption.
Even though the weather of Earth has suffered the abuse of mankind and My enemy, My Father is still in charge of the weather. He withholds the rain and He sends the rain. Just as you experience stormy trials, you will experience massive storms in the atmosphere.
When you go through stormy weather, I want you to pray for God's protection. I have a defense system that is far beyond any weapon of My enemy. My enemy's mode of operation is to destroy, distress, depress, and degrade. My mode of operation is to defend, to restore, save and to redeem. Keep in mind always that I have supreme power over all principalities, powers, rulers of darkness and wickedness in high places. No weapon forged against you by My enemy will prosper.

WASTE
I do not waste anything. I am the greatest conservationist there is. I know how often you ask yourself why certain things happen in life. You may experience all kinds of trials and also watch others go through tremendous trials. At the time of such trials, you cannot see My hand at work.
I did not promise that the life of believers would be without trials. In fact, once you become a believer, trials may increase. I do not send sickness, disease, or horrific accidents to people. However, I use all of the tribulations that the world brings for My purposes.
I am the "Redeemer." I am always able to buy back what My enemy has stolen. You can only see what is happening through natural eyes. Ask Me to open your spiritual eyes to see that I will use every trial to accomplish My purposes.
