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.

I’VE GOT YOU COVERED

Beloved child, uncertainty can be paralyzing. When you become unsure of who you are and where you are on your journey you begin to lose momentum and instead of moving forward you find yourself stagnate or even moving backward. I know that hope deferred can zap you of the strength and fortitude that is necessary and vital to you pressing into your purpose and destiny. Beloved I have taken all of these things into consideration but My command still remains that you must press forward. You can press forward knowing that I have got you covered. I am your God and I am with you. I am always working behind the scenes and all things are working together for your good. I am always watching over My word in you to bring it to fulfillment; My Word will not fail, it cannot fail. So even as you see the shaking, even as you feel the shaking know that I am the solid Rock and Foundation, I am your Shield and your Refuge, I am your Comfort and your Strength, I am your Beginning and your End, I am your Provision and your Protection. I have got you covered, go forward, be strong and very courageous I will never let My righteous one fall, says the Lord.

Psalm 139:7-12 “I can never escape from your Spirit! I can never get away from your presence! 8 If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the grave, you are there. 9 If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans, 10 even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me. 11 I could ask the darkness to hide me and the light around me to become night— 12 but even in darkness I cannot hide from you. To you the night shines as bright as day. Darkness and light are the same to you.”

The Gift

James 1:17 “Every good gift and every perfect ( free, large, full) gift is from above; it comes down from the Father of all [that gives] light, in [the shining of] Whom there can be no variation [rising or setting] or shadow cast by His turning [as in an eclipse].”

My beloved child I have freely given to you out of the treasures of heaven. There is nothing that I have withheld from you; you have all that you need for life and godliness. It is My good pleasure that you should live in a measure of prosperity that freely and continuously flows out of My abundance. Out of My great love for you My child I bestow to you a heritage and an inheritance that can never spoil, rot or fade. As you continue to walk in My Presence you will know the fullness of My presents. As you shout out loud a praise of thanksgiving you will open up the doors of blessings that will pour out a measure that is too much for you to contain and you thereby become an instrument of My overflow in the earth. You shall enjoy My abundance, and My people will feast on My good gifts.

My Son Jesus is My ultimate gift you. The Gift of God cannot be purchase with money for it has already been paid in full by the Blood. The gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus your Lord. In your Savior Jesus new life is poured out generously. In Him your relationship with Me has been fully and you have been given us back your lives. So everything you have and everything you are gifts from God. You already have all you need. You already have more access to God than you can handle. Beloved you must know you have been given these gifts because you now belong to Christ Jesus. You have need of nothing.

So I say to you that even in trial and difficulty walk in the power of the gifting that I have given to you. You have been given the gift on unending help and confidence, you have been enlivened and you have been invigorated to run the race by the manifest power of the gift. For it has been written that My gifts and callings are under full warranty—never canceled, never rescinded. So today as each of you has received a gift by way of a particular spiritual talent, or a gracious divine endowment use it for one another as to show yourself to be faithful stewards of the gifts granted to you by means of My unmerited favor. In other words, stir up the gift of God which is in you because the gift of Myself is the very best of God poured out for you. Now is the time to be bold, courageous and empowered with My gifts, says the Lord.

Romans 11:29 "For God's gifts and His call are irrevocable. [He never withdraws them when once they are given, and He does not change His mind about those to whom He gives His grace or to whom He sends His call.]"

Galatians 5:22 (MSG) "But what happens when we live God's way? He brings gifts into our lives, much the same way that fruit appears in an orchard—things like affection for others, exuberance about life, serenity. We develop a willingness to stick with things, a sense of compassion in the heart, and a conviction that a basic holiness permeates things and people. We find ourselves involved in loyal commitments, not needing to force our way in life, able to marshal and direct our energies wisely."
