SLEEP

I know that on these hot summer nights that sometimes you have trouble sleeping.  I certainly can help you on such nights.  Instead of counting sheep as so many do to get to sleep, I recommend that you count your blessings or you could just read your Bible until you fall asleep.

My enemy hates to hear you praise Me and he also hates for you to  read your Bible.  My enemy is not only the joy robber, but he also the sleep robber.  He would love for you to have sleepless nights so that your work the next day in My Kingdom will be impaired.

I give My beloved sleep.  Come to Me just before your go to bed and pour out all your complaints to Me.  Then start praising Me and reading your Bible.  You will soon fall asleep.

PSALM 127:2

PRESS

Remember the time when the lady with the issue of blood did not give up because of the crowds that surrounded Me.  She pressed through the crowd and touched the hem of My garment.  The moment she touched Me, virtue went out from Me to her and she was healed.

You are in the last days.  You are about to see the greatest harvest the world has experienced.  There will be crowds coming to learn more about Me.  Even now I am preparing hearts to receive Me.  To prepare yourself for this last harvest of souls, I want you to press into Me by spending time in My presence and in My Word. 

This is also the time for you to be more sensitive to the leading of My Spirit than you have ever been.  My Spirit wants to lead you to the hearts that I have prepared.  Pray daily that you will hear My Spirit as He instructs you to be in the right place at the right time to witness to those who are waiting to hear My good news.  Work for the night is coming soon when no one can work any more.

MATTHEW 9:20-22; JOHN 9:4

UNCERTAINTY

You live in uncertain times.  I told My followers that in the last days they would hear of wars and rumors of wars, nation would rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and famines and pestilences and earthquakes will happen in divers places, but all of these are just the beginning of sorrows. You have certainly experienced these events in your lifetime.  Time is drawing to a close, and your days in the future will become even more uncertain.  This is why I have given you the certain knowledge that I will finish completely the work that I began in the beginning of time

There are several facts that you can be certain are true.  I am the resurrection and the life.  Those who believe in Me will have life eternal and will experience My certain presence with them in this world and in the next.  You can be certain that My Word is true.  The one thing that I cannot do is lie.
You can be certain that the good work I have begun in you, I will complete.

Meditate today on these certain facts and the uncertainty of the future will no longer be an issue in your life.  I hold you in My hands and I will see you through to the end of this world and will enjoy your presence with Me in the new world.

MATTHEW 24:6-8; ROMANS 9:28

RESERVOIR

A reservoir is where large quantities of any thing are stored like a lake that stores water to supply cities with water.  You have a reservoir of knowledge of My Word within you.  You have a reservoir of My anointing - the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, and the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of Me.. 

There is a well of salvation within you.  That well is Me.  I am your salvation.  Daily, I want you to tap into this well of salvation.  You may ask, "How?"  It is simple.  You draw from that reservoir within you with joy. 

Therefore will you draw waters from the wells of salvation with joy.  When you are on the alert to never allow My enemy to steal your joy, and you also make a decision daily to abide in Me, My Word, and My love, you will always be able to tap into the reservoir within you by joyfully thanking and praising Me for what I purchased for you when I died for your sins and was raised again.

ISAIAH 12:2-3, PSALM 37:39

PROVIDENTIAL

I have heard people say after they experience some good event, "Well, that was providential!"  When you chose to walk in My way every day, everything in your life will be providential.  Never take the day's events I have for you for granted.

I have given you My Holy Spirit to both walk beside you and to go before you.  He knows your future, and when you release every care to Me and release every minute of your day to Me, you will experience My providential care throughout the day.

Pray today that you will hear My Spirit speaking to you, "This is the way walk you in it," throughout this day and you will be amazed at the events that I have prepared for you to enter this day.
Those events will not happen unless you have a willing spirit both to listen carefully to My Spirit and then to obey what you hear.

PHILIPPIANS 2:13

PRESENTS

I know how you love to receive presents.  There always is an excitement in your heart as you unwrap the present.  The greatest present I give you daily is that I am ever present with you. I understand that you cannot see  Me with your physical eyes, but never doubt that I have My eyes on you throughout each day.

When you recognize My ever present presence with you, your day will be filled with the presents I want you to be excited about and enjoy.

It would take an eternity for Me to list all the presents you can receive from Me and open and use.  I'll just name a few that I want you to enjoy today.  I give you My love, My joy, My peace, My righteousness, and My Word today. Receive these eternal presents today by faith and then use them by sharing them with others.  When you do this, My Father will be glorified in your life.

MATTHEW 5:16

ALLOW

When you wake up every morning, I want you to allow Me to take charge of your day.  I know that upon waking you are thinking about the many things you will have to do during the day.  Sometimes you wonder how will you ever accomplish everything.

When you put Me in charge of your day, there will be a steady flow of events in your day that will be led by My Spirit.  Trust My Holy Spirit to tell you the next thing to do.  When you commit your works to Me, My Spirit will establish your thoughts and also will allow space for Me to accomplish My works through you.

Instead of seeing the day in time segments in which you hope to get your work done, see your day as a flowing fountain of life that enables Me to quench your thirst for more of Me and also supplies all you need to bear lasting fruit for Me.
