From my journal - April 17, 2011
Ephesians 1:16-23: (a prayer for you)
"I have never failed to remember you in my prayers and to thank God for you. May the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, give you a spirit of wisdom and perception of what is revealed, to bring you to full knowledge of him. May he enlighten the eyes of your mind so that you can see what hope his call holds for you, what rich glories he has promised the saints (you) will inherit and how infinitely great is the power that he has exercised for us believers."
I copied this prayer right out of Ephesians. It is my prayer for all of you. Could you pray it for me, too?
What I wanted to post here from my Journal is this - read it and see it as a word from God to us! :
"My child, believe on the promises in my word - they are life for you - a life you cannot even begin to know from here on earth. Believe and keep going towards that goal. Never take your eyes off that promise. Believe! It is the only purpose in life here. Keep your eyes on Jesus - He leads the way, you follow! Take a stand against sin around you - even though you will suffer for it. Remember, Jesus died for that sin. Build your faith, and your faith will see you through."
Read Hebrews 12:1-4
In this word from God that I posted above, what do you think He is talking about when He says "never take your eyes off that promise."? And "It is the only purpose in life here."?

Another word from my journal - dated April 10, ?
God speaks to us:
You are my people. You are my bride. (Rev 22:17). You are my beloved. I have given you a special token of my love for you - for I have sealed you with my Holy Spirit - and you are mine - you shall be my crowning glory on that day when I call you to Myself. You are - each one of you - a beautiful, brilliant, special jewell for my crown.
For I will be KING OF KINGS - I will reign over all Kings, nations and peoples. Yes - I will be ruler over all the earth. You shall have a special place of honor for you are my prized possessions. As it is written: You have shared in my suffering, and you shall - on that day - share in my glory.
Rejoice now, that you have been chosen. I have picked you and counted you worthy to suffer for my sake. We share one common destiny, and we walk one single path. At this time, there may be sorrow, pain and suffering in your path, but rejoice, for you will see the glory of God.
Do as Paul: Rejoice in the midst of your suffering and tears, for you know these things in that glorious day shall bring exceedingly greater joy than any thing you can know or imagine in the present, for I will reign as King of all the earth!
"When you see these things begin to happen, look up and rejoice for your redemption draweth nigh".

Luke 12:22-32 We are worth more than the birds of the air and the flowers of the fields!"
Set your hearts on His kingdom first, and on his righteousness, and all these other things will be given you as well. Do not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself.
Read Luke Chapter 12 verses 22-32. And Matthew 6:25-34. I had received this message from these texts:
"Be not afraid, o my child, rest in me - yes - be quiet before me now and settle down in my care, as a bird settles down in his nest. For I am watching over you, I love you, and I WILL care for you.
There is no danger that I am unable to turn, there is no enemy too strong for me to handle. I am able to carry out all my purposes, and to care for you at the same time.
Be not afraid - nor allow fear to strike. My power is at your disposal. Call upon my name, my presence is all around, and nothing can harm you as long as you are in my care, and that is FOREVER!"

Psalm 37:3 - 7
(From my Jeruselum Bible):
Psalm 37:3 - "Trust in Yahweh and do what is good . . . "
4 - "Make Yahweh your only joy and He will give you what your heart desires."
5 - "Commit your fate to Yahweh, trust in Him and He will act . . . "
7 - "Be quiet before Yahweh, and wait patiently for Him . . . ."
I meditated on these verses and then I continued, and this was where God led me - His wonderful promises!:
23 - "Yahweh guides my steps, they are sure, and He takes pleasure in His progress;" (Meaning spiritually to me)
24 - "You may fall, but never fatally, since Yahweh supports you by the hand" ( I immediately thought tof when I fell at Penney's. It was such a miracle that I didn't break bones, or have worse head injuries than I did have. But, I also thought of the spiritual aspect of this verse. Even if I should make mistakes, if I fail in my walk with God, it won't be fatal.) Since He supports me by the hand.
26 - "Now I am old, but ever since my youth, I never saw a virtuous person deserted, or
his descendants forced to beg their bread; he is always compassionate, always lending: his children will be blessed."
39, 40 - "The salvation of the virtuous comes from Yahweh, He is their shelter when trouble comes; Yahweh helps and rescues them, He saves them because they take shelter in Him."
Isn't this just amazing? God was speaking to me - and he's speaking to you, too - through these scriptures - Such wonderful promises. Vs 7 - "Be quiet before Yahweh, and wait patiently for Him . . . " He never lets us down, does He?
Read the whole psalm and listen for God to speak to you in it. He will! Share it with us here, if you want to.

From my journal:
The devil's purpose is destruction, but prayer changes that. Look around you - do you see that old devil at work trying to destroy what we have: Our freedoms, our churches, our families, our finances, our selves. But no need to worry. Jesus has saved us from the devil and all His evil ways. Jesus has saved us from destruction. Jesus is our shelter when trouble comes. We can abide in the shelter of His wings! What a promise! What a hope!
And then He spoke further to me to us - "Pray, my people. Pray. Pray for all nations of this world, pray for America, pray for your cities and states. Pray for your families, your parishes. Pray for yourselves. Pray as I prompt you. There are many, many prayer warriors in my army. You are among them. I have my troops posted in many positions all over the world, and as I need them, I prompt them - I prompt you to go into the battle as my prayer warriors. Pray. Pray. Pray!"
And I know we will know the promptings of the Holy Spirit. He will prompt us. He will lead our prayers. He will lead us into action to DO what we can to change our world and our circumstances. We just have to be still and wait for Him, wait for Him to lead us. Pray!
