PRESERVED

My servant Paul prayed many prayers over the various churches he established.  The prayer he prayed over the church of Thessalonica is also My prayer for you.  His prayer was;

"And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our LORD Jesus Christ."  

When I am face to face with you, your works on earth will be judged for reward.  Ask Me daily to sanctify and empower you by My Spirit to do the works that I have called you to do.

1 THESSALONIANS 5:23

WITHSTAND

You are truly living in an evil day.  This is why you daily need to put on My full armor in order to withstand Satan's first attack which is deception. 

Speak My Word out loud when you are tempted to believe the lies of Satan.  When I was tempted, I spoke the very words that were written out loud.  This provided the shield of faith to quench every fiery dart. 

Satan fled because he knew that I was standing in the righteousness of God which protected My heart from being wounded.

EPHESIANS 6

ACKNOWLEDGE

When you acknowledge Me as you go your way during the day, I will direct your steps.  

When you acknowledge Me wherever you go to whoever you meet along the way, doors will open for you to be able to share My Words of life with others.

My words of life are life changing.  So many do not know the truths that will set them free from bondage. When you are never ashamed of My name or My words, but instead, you boldly proclaim My gospel, I will direct your steps to prepared hearts that are ready to receive My truths.

PROVERBS 3:6

GOAL

People make lists of the goals that they hope to reach day by day, week by week, and some year by year. Having goals is good, but this is not the way that walking in My Spirit works.

Walking in the Spirit is a walk of faith.  Faith does not operate in the future.  Your hopes are in the future, but faith operates now in the present.

I want you to have the same goal that Paul had.  He wrote: "Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things that are behind, and reaching forth to those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." As you walk in the Spirit, I will unfold My plans for you as you take the next step of faith.

PHILIPPIANS 3:13-14

IMPOSSIBLE

I am the One Who can make the impossible possible. The disciples asked Me who could be saved when I told them how difficult it would be for a rich man to enter My kingdom.  I answered that with men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

Mary asked Me how she would be able to conceive Me.  Gabriel explained to her that the Holy Spirit would come upon her. Then Gabriel said to her with God nothing shall be impossible. 

Both My birth and the birth of someone into My kingdom can only be accomplished by My Holy Spirit.  Never give up praying for the salvation of others. Ask My Holy Spirit to come upon them and convict those who are lost of their sin.

MARK 10:25- 27; LUKE 1:34-37

 

DELIVER

You often pray that I deliver you from temptation.  However, Satan constantly tempts you, and you may give in to that temptation.  When you confess that sin, I not only forgive you, but I also cleanse you.

I told Peter that Satan wanted to sift him as wheat.  I did not tell Peter that he would not be tempted nor did I deliver him from the temptation. I told Peter that I would pray that his faith would not fail.

I delivered Peter out of temptation, not from temptation. Whenever you give in to Satan's temptations, I want you to know that I am praying for you that your faith will not fail you.  I want you to always have faith in Me to help you overcome whenever you give in to temptation again.

2 PETER 2:9; LUKE 22:31-32

YES!

In these troubled times, people all over the world need comfort.  They need hope, peace, and joy.  They need love and grace.  Sadly so many do not know where to find or how to receive such blessings.

Only those who have put their trust in Me know how these blessings can be received.  These blessings are found in all the promises I have made in My Word.  

All one has to do to receive these promises is to first receive Me as their Savior.  I am faithful to keep all My promises. "For all the promises of God in Me are yes, and in Me Amen...." 

2 CORINTHIANS 1:20
