DOUBT OUT

One of the greatest strongholds your enemy wants to plant in your mind is doubt. It is natural to have doubts about Me simply because you cannot see Me. However, you do know Me and I am more real than those you see. Understand that doubt is one of the fiery doubts that the devil sends to you quite frequently. His tactic in the Garden was to first get Eve to doubt God's Word.
He was successful.

You have much more going for you now than she had. You have Me. I indwell you and I fight your battles. When those fiery darts of doubt come, simply say out loud, "Doubt out in the name of Jesus." At My name every knee has to bow and demons have to flee.

Never feel condemned when you have doubts. I understand completely the battles you face while you are on earth. Take those thoughts of doubt the moment they come to you and give them to Me. Ask Me for the gift of faith and it is My delight to give that gift to you.

MATTHEW 21:21-22; MARK 11:23-26

TIMING

Remember when the excellence of your piano practice depended on your keeping the rhythm flowing exactly according to what was written on the piece of music you were playing. You had times when you ceased playing and rested. There were other times when you had to keep your hands on the keys continually because the ryhthm was so fast. I want your life to flow at the rhythm I have written in your book of life.

There will be times of great productivity. Sometimes you will not feel you can get everything accomplished in a day's time. Then there will be times of rest when you can receive more of My anointing and refreshment as you allow Me to minister to you.

Ask Me today to lead you by My Spirit to keep the rhythm flowing that I have designed for you during this day. Listen carefully to My Holy Spirit and follow those gentle impressions He will give you. When you do this, you will be able to lay your head on your pillow and know that I have done the works through you that I wanted to accomplish that day.

PSALM 37:5; PROVERBS 16:3

GRACE

So often when my servant Paul addressed his letters to the various churches he had established, he used this greeting, "Grace, peace, and the mercy from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord be to you." Grace, peace, and mercy are Who I am and what I offer to you daily.
However, sometimes you do not take the time to receive these three things. You busy yourself with many things, but there is only one thing needed - to sit at My feet and allow Me to grace you with My grace, impart you with My peace, and deliver to you My mercy.

Take time every morning to allow Me to minister to you. When you take time to acknowledge My grace in your life by thanking Me for it, I will empower you to do what is naturally not in your power to do. When you thank Me for My peace, I am able to still your mind and give you the peace that even passes your natural understanding. When you thank Me for My mercy, you will feel My comfort throughout your day. You sing the song, "Take time to be holy, speak oft with your Lord." Holiness is not what you do. Holiness is who you are. Take time this morning to acknowledge that I and the Father are in you and then draw upon My grace, peace, and mercy.

1 TIMOTHY 1:2

INSTANT OBEDIENCE

Jesus told Judas that whatever he was to do to do it quickly. We are living in the last days, and I desire for My beloved to obey Me instantly. Otherwise, they may miss a divine opportunity that I have ordained. When you hear Me lead you to do or say something, do not wait. If you wait, those instructions may be forgotten because so many things today draw you away from an obedient walk with Me.

My Spirit never pushes or presses you to do or say anything. His still, quiet voice speaks to your inner man and leads you. Stay open to hear His voice moment by moment, and then do not hesitate to obey. When you do this, you will have a fruitful day.

JOHN 13:27; REVELATIONS 3:18

ONE DAY AT A TIME

Many of My beloved feel overwhelmed, pressed down, and confused. This happens whenever you or others in My Kingdom think about the many tomorrows that they may face. I said, "That they may face." Sometimes you worry about things that may never happen.

I have told you many times not to play the "What If Game." This is a diabolical game the devil has designed to keep you bound with worry and fear. Rest assured that as you commit yourself faithfully to Me, your future is in My hands. I told My followers not to worry about tomorrow or even to think about the trouble that might come tomorrow. I told them to let tomorrow worry about its own things.

I challenge you this day to rejoice and be glad in this day that I have given to you as a gift. When you trust me completely, I will take care of your tomorrows.

MATTHEW 6:33-34

DIRECTION

Many are seeking direction in these days. However, many forget to come to Me to ask for directions. As long as you try to find your way in this life on your own, you will get hopelessly lost. I am a God of purpose and direction. I am your "Good Shepherd," Who will lead you in the paths that you must go. I go before you and prepare the way.

Never let a day go by that you do not come to Me and ask Me to direct your steps. I desire to put you in the right place at the right time. I desire to lead you to hearts that I have prepared to receive My good news. I have sent My Holy Spirit to lead you into all truth.

Living an aimless life without purpose or direction is never My plan for you. I am a detailed God, Who gives detailed directions. Listen to the still, quiet voice of My Holy Spirit moment by moment and you will be amazed at how your day will unfold.

PROVERBS 3:5-6, 11:5; PSALM 37:23

CATCH UP

Some people have expressed their disappointment that I no longer am doing blog entries every day. In response to their desire for me to continue, I am making it my goal to at least put three blogs in weekly. Things have changed in our lives and we are traveling more. This makes it difficult for me to keep up with a daily blog, but God willing, I will be able to do three entries weekly.

We had a glorious time in Israel. Thank you all for your prayers. It took us a while to recover from the jet lag, but we are back on schedule. Believe it or not, we only went to two places that we have gone to on our prior trips. This was an all new trip that gave us the benefit of meeting many leaders in Israel and visiting many Mesianic congregations. We also got to pray over the borders of Lebenon and Syria. That was special. The weather was beautiful - cool, bright blue skies and the flowers were outstanding.

Here is my blog for today:

Delight yourself in Me and I will give you the desires of your heart. When you delight yourself in Me, you gain entrance to My Treasure House. I have a Treasure House in heaven that contains everything you will ever need in this life. This is why it is written that I am able to supply all of your needs according to My riches in glory. My riches in heaven are unlimited.

When you delight yourself in Me, I am able to plant what I desire for you in your heart. Then I always grant what I plant. I do grant the desires of the righteous because they desire to do My will instead of pleasing themselves.

Daily live a life of praise and I will provide all you need.
