The Fruit of Believing

Romans 15:13(AMP) 13May the God of your hope so fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound and be overflowing (bubbling over) with hope.

Beloved child, in this hour there is a confident trust that will result in an un-surpassing joy and peace that wells up in your spirit as you believe. As you believe for the impossible and the supernatural this same joy and peace will overflow to overtake all areas of doubt, fear and hopelessness in your life. There is an exceeding and abundant wellspring coming forth as you learn to trust and believe. Your believing will cause My life-giving Spirit to flood you with hope for your todays and your tomorrows. I know that you have invested a lot and have seen little fruit, but now is not the time to throw up your hands in dismay and give up. There is an abundance of hope that has been poured out because of your unyielding and relentless faith. Believe Me for the impossible and all things will become possible to you. Beloved child, when you believe you are engaging in an act of surrender that totally trusts, clings to, cleaves to, relies on, adheres to and remains steadfast to your Lord and God. Not only so, but you make an undeniable identification that you have been given My authority with all its power, privilege and right to be called a child of God. As you allow My Word to live in your heart there will be nothing impossible for you to believe. Even as you press forward into this new year with unknown circumstances and difficulties I say to you, do not allow your hearts to be distressed or agitated; just believe in and trust in Me, leaning not to your own understanding but fully acknowledging Me as your God who knows all things, sees all things and brings all things into conformity to My perfect will. As you have believed I have become your Chief Cornerstone; I Am He who is the Stone that represents the starting place in the construction of not only the world but also your life. I Am the chief foundation on which all things are constructed and developed. As you stand and trust and believe I will be that which binds and mends all of the broken places in your life. Today I command you to have full confidence in and rely on Me because it is only when you believe can you act purposefully and intentionally. My Beloved, you have been saved because you have believed and you will be upheld by that same belief and that through believing and cleaving to and trusting and relying upon Me you may have life to it’s fullest. So turn now, believe and surrender yourself to My will, purpose, plan and destiny for you and your entire household. And know today with settled and absolute knowledge that as you cleave to, and trust in, and rely on Me by faith and persevere to apprehend that you will inherit the blessing which has been promised because it has been released, delivered, and committed to all those who believe. And  because you have been fully persuaded to fixed your hope on the living God you will experience and know Me not only as Savior but as Preserver, Maintainer and Deliverer of all men but especially of those who believe.

FEAR NOT!

Romans 8:31 “What then shall we say to [all] this? If God is for us, who [can be] against us? [Who can be our foe, if God is on our side?]”

Beloved you have entered into a gateway that will lead you to a place where the possibilities are endless. If you will trust Me at the beginning, in the middle and even to the end of your journey you need not fear because the outcome will be great and will lead you into the full manifestation of My favor in your life.  I Am He who is your Way-maker and your Bridge. I will make your way clear and I will connect the dots of your life to complete the picture of magnificence and greatness that I have ordained before the foundation of the world. When you cannot see your way clear you must be persuaded that I am not just at the beginning and the end of your miracle but I with you to sustain and for you to protect you in the middle of your miracle. When you have received My Word to go forward your responsibility is to hear Me and harken unto My voice and not look back. My path is ever before you; it is not behind back. My child I Am the Author and the Finisher of all of your days. I Am He who began the work in you and I will finish it. Rest securely in My peace and lean not to your own understanding. You have nothing to fear. In this hour you must trust Me and do not doubt So put off your fear and allow Me to arise in you. Even though the storms will come, I say to you fear not for I Am your Peace and I will never allow you to be overtaken.

John 14:27 (AMP) "Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.]"

Enter in the Kingdom

Acts 14:22 (AMP) “Establishing and strengthening the souls and the hearts of the disciples, urging and warning and encouraging them to stand firm in the faith, and [telling them] that it is through many hardships and tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.”

Beloved as your Sovereign God, Lord and King today I am urging you to stick with what you have begun; to believe and not to quit. By My Word and example I have made it clear to you that it wouldn't be easy because anyone signing up for the kingdom of God has to go through plenty of hard times. Now is the time that you must see through Kingdom eyes. You must see every trial, every difficulty and every tribulation as a doorway that is giving you access to My eternal Kingdom. In-fact if you will allow Me to, I will reveal to you how the greatness of your victory is measured by the greatest of your trials. Your wilderness season is creating in you a victory mentality so that when you enter into the promised land you will have put-off the slave mentality of your Egypt. What Am I saying to you today? I Am saying to you that you must consider it all joy when you encounter various trials for this is a place of true maturity of faith. As you fully embrace every trial as an opportunity to grow in faith you will begin to walk in great victory. I Am calling you to a higher level of trust in My Word. Have I not told you that in the world you have tribulation? And have I not told you to be of good courage and good cheer because I have overcome the world? If you will receive My Word, you can have perfect peace, unspeakable joy and unending hope even in the midst of the shaking all around you. Beloved abide in Me and I will abide in you. Be of great courage and be confident because all things always work together for the good of those who love Me and are called according to My purpose. In other words, it is I who will lead you into victory and always cause you to triumph. I Am your Victory, therefore, you never lose. Rest assured that every challenge to your faith will only make your faith grow if you do not become faint and lose heart but instead be tenacious and full of faith. In your humanity I know that you will have times where you will feel doubt, hopelessness and fear but you must be persuaded that these feelings cannot control you or render you stagnate or wavering in your faith. Instead dear one, commit to being well-ordered and disciplined only by the Love of God and the power of Holy Spirit. You have come a mighty long way and there is much I have entrusted to you and ordained for you just ahead because you are among My chosen. There are many things that happen in your life and in the world that you may not understand but as I have told you; Trust in the Lord with all of your hearts, lean not to your own understanding but acknowledge Me in all of your ways and I will direct your paths. Therefore, let everything that you do be done with the skill and discipline of faith in My Word of Promise which far surpasses your human understanding. There is a new way of faith that has been released to whosoever will take a hold of it. And, as you do you will see your thinking realigned to grasp the new thing that I AM doing, says the Lord.

On time….every time

Psalm 105:19 “Until the time came to fulfill his dreams, the LORD tested Joseph’s character.”

My Beloved, hear My word to you today; I am never late and never in a hurry. In fact my eternal time clock is set on fulfillment at the set time, appointed time and in due season. In this is My blessed assurance; I Am on time, every time. You need not faint nor be wearisome or impatient. There is a purpose in the waiting just as there is an appointed time of fulfillment. If you will trust Me in the waiting your faith shall soar and propel you into the fulfillment.

Ephesians 1:10 “And this is the plan: At the right time he will bring everything together under the authority of Christ—everything in heaven and on earth.”

I will cause your faith to soar to new heights

Beloved, what you need now is faith. You need to begin to trust and hope again like never before. I have watched over you and have kept you even before I formed you in your mother’s womb. The days will grow darker, but you My love will shine like the sun. Where the darkness once sought to defeat you, the light now shines. And where the enemy sought to bring destruction, new life now prevails. As you continue to move forward I will cause your faith to soar like never before. This will be a work of the Spirit and not of your own will. I will mount you up on eagles wings and nothing will be impossible for you. Every mountain will be brought low and you will walk triumphantly into victory. I am commanding you to put away your fear. When the enemy comes in like a flood the banner of faith must be lifted high. Your faith must rest in Me. Your faith cannot be based on your own talent, strength or ability because it will fail you. Beloved, this is My father heart towards you; I will cause your faith to soar and it will empower you to walk in the overcoming power, strength and resolve that is your inheritance, say the Lord.

1 John 5:4 (NKJV) “For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.”

Not my will but Thy will be done

Romans 12:2 (AMP) “Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you]."

Beloved, not only do I have a perfect and acceptable will for your life but My desire is to reveal it to you as you renew your mind according to My Word of truth. It is My Word that upholds and sustains you, and as you write it on your heart and mind you will be transformed to completely and fully know Who I Am and who you are in Me. With a renewed mind you can think like Me; you will be able to see things, people and your life situations like I do and this will fuel your confession of, Father not my will but Your will be done in my life, in my family, in the world and in all of creation. Dear child, do not continue to allow yourself to be led away and held captive by your old thought patterns that are rooted in your thoughts, your hurts, and your past. It is time to put all familiar spirits that continue to bring defeat and doubt behind you. You have allowed yourselves to be driven on a course of life directed by wrong thought patterns for far too long. Now I say, you have gone around that mountain long enough and it is now high time to leave the wilderness place of your mind. In your pursuit to knowing the Planner and the plan I remind you that learning, knowing and walking in My perfect will can only come by way of surrendering your thoughts for Mine and by surrendering your ways for Mine for as I have said, My ways are not your ways, neither are My thoughts your thoughts; Mine are higher. Beloved, once again I say to you, come up higher there is so much I want to reveal to you, says the Lord.

1 Corinthians 2:16 (AMP) “For who has known or understood the mind (the counsels and purposes) of the Lord so as to guide and instruct Him and give Him knowledge? But we have the mind of Christ (the Messiah) and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart.”

Get to know the Planner

Ephesians 1:17-21 (AMP) "[For I always pray to] the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation [of insight into mysteries and secrets] in the [deep and intimate] knowledge of Him, 18By having the eyes of your heart flooded with light, so that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called you, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints (His set-apart ones), 19And [so that you can know and understand] what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength.."

My desire is that you would come to experience Me so that you can fully know My heart and mind towards you as you continue to press forward into the Promise. As you come into the intimate knowledge of who I Am you will walk in the revelation of My thoughts and plans concerning you. You will also get a glimpse of My intentions and motives towards you and the glorious future that I have already planned and ordained. You begin to walk in the true understanding and the revelation that I have a plan for your life that is rooted in complete and total victory. If you want to know the plans then you must get to know the Planner. The time has come for you to cease walking around in the maze of confusion concerning your past, present and future. I Am the One who knows the plans, therefore, get to know the Planner and I will reveal the plans. There is so much that I want to tell you; so much that I desire to reveal to you so that we can walk in one accord. Beloved child, draw near unto Me and I will draw nearer unto you. It is with hope and confidence that I want you to grow in the knowledge of your identity in Me because when you know who you are and Whose you are nothing will be able to hinder you from moving forward, says the Lord.
