Bondages

My children, so many of you are in bondages I have already freed you from. You say you are waiting for Me to open the door to free you when I already have.

Do you really want to be free? Your freedom is before you – step into it.

Walk through the doors I have placed before you and be free.

Isaiah 10:27  And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.

John 8:36  If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

Thankful

Recently on our podcast, I shared the story of how the Lord so graciously delivered Jerry and I from a terrible debt we were laboring so heavily under. Jerry and I are very thankful people anyway, but right after the Lord did this, I wanted to do something more to show Him my gratitude. Right now, I am the one at home who must make sure the ends meet every month, as Jerry is still in prison in Ohio, so it meant a tremendous burden had been removed from my daily load.

I had not stopped praising God since He did this for us. I know one of the meanings of worship is giving, so I decided to give the Lord a gratitude offering, and since my burden was so much lighter every single month because of His great mercy, I decided to increase our tithes by an amount equal to a tithe on the monthly payment we were paying on the debt, plus add a gratitude offering on top of that, and I immediately increased it and began giving it with great joy.

We have so very much to be thankful to Him for - eternal life, to start with, our next breath, the next breath of those we love so much, our safety in a fallen world, the authority of His Name....the list is endless!

So many people who believe spend their lives complaining and moping about - how much more blessed might their lives be if they offered gratitude and praise to Him instead? Our praise and gratitude must be more than our complaining to receive from Him, I hear Him saying.

He is so worthy of our praise. I lost count long ago of the many situations in my life before Him where something tragic could have happened, but He did not allow it. I will never have enough time on earth or in heaven to thank Him for so much mercy!

Be thankful today.

Distracted Destinies

My children, the nearer your destiny you come, the harder the enemy will work to distract you. Even now you see how he pulls you quietly away from anything that is of Me. The length and intensity of these distractions will increase continually to prevent you from doing My work.

If you want to walk in your destiny and do as I have called you to do, you must refuse his distractions. I must be your priority at all times.

Be diligent. Be vigilant.

1 Peter 5:8  Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

1 Corinthians 10:13  There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

Luke 10:38-42

38 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.

39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.

40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.

41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:

42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

Be Courageous

My children, though I warn you of many upcoming events, they are not all immediate in your time. I simply do not want you to be caught unprepared spiritually for the gross darkness that is approaching in your world.

When the darkness falls, it shall be very dark indeed, and many shall turn against you because of your great love for My Name. They will seek to kill you or have you delivered to be killed, for they serve another god who is not Me, to whom they are most loyal.

Do not be afraid when the time comes, for is anything impossible for Me? I am able to take pain away from death, and then shall you be here with Me forever.

Be strong and bold for My Name. Yea, be very courageous.

Matthew 24:6-10

6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.

10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

Matthew 10:22  And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

John 16:2  They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.

John 15:18  If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

Isaiah 60:2  For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

Joshua 1:9  Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

Luke 1:37  For with God nothing shall be impossible.

No Loss

I have seen how the enemy has attacked My people, and I am very angry with him for the pain and damage he has inflicted on My precious children.

My children, be patient, and I will turn these misfortunes to your great good and not only will you not suffer loss, but you shall enjoy increase, by My mighty hand!

I have a reward for those of you who have endured.

Deuteronomy 31:7-8

7 And Moses called unto Joshua, and said unto him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou must go with this people unto the land which the Lord hath sworn unto their fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it.

8 And the Lord, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.
