Out of your comfort zone ? It's ok!

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by MARSHA BURNS:  

Think outside the box and be willing to allow My Spirit to lead you even when you have to leave your comfort zone to do so.  Be sensitive to your spiritual environment so that you will know when changes occur.  This is a time to awaken spiritually, discern with clarity and respond purposefully, says the Lord.  

 

2 Timothy 1:9  (Jesus) has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began. 

First Love

I am calling to those whose hearts are spiritually hungry--those who desire a closer relationship with Me, says the Lord.  Come to Me; come up higher.  Set your face like flint to see My face, not deviating from the way into My presence.  Refuse to allow distractions to take you away from your First Love.  If you truly are in love with Me, you will not stray.  Be single-hearted and single-focused.  

 

Psalm 107:5-9   Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.  Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and He delivered them out of their distresses.   And He led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city for a dwelling place.  Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!   For He satisfies the longing soul, and fills the hungry soul with goodness. 

 

According to his Purpose

THE TRUMPET by BILL BURNS: 

 I hear that word, "amazing", and I hear the Lord saying:  You will be amazed in this next season.  For, I am raising the ground that you walk on, which means that the opportunities that you have will be greater than the opportunities that you have had before to walk on the path of righteousness and anointing as the Spirit leads you.  Those mysteries--those hidden things that have been reserved for you for such a time as this--will come to bear in your life.  Destiny will be fulfilled because you follow the path of My presence.  Be ready to turn to the left or turn to the right as I direct you. And, when I tell you to go straight ahead, stay on that path.  For, it shall be if you stay on the path that I have prepared for you, all things will work to your benefit because you are called according to My purposes, says the Lord.   These are the days in which you need to define who you are.  You need to position yourself before Me with a question in your heart and desire to know what it is that I have prepared for you.  These are the days of the revealing of those things in your life.  Take heart this moment, this day and believe that you will receive that which I have spoken.

 

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by MARSHA BURNS:

You have a small window of time to make changes that will have an unusual and lasting effect on your life.  Let Me move you by My Spirit into that opening, and I will give you the strength and wisdom necessary to accomplish that which is set before you.  You won't have to force anything, for I will lead you through this transition like threading a needle, says the Lord.  

Isaiah 42:16 I will bring the blind by a way they did not know; I will lead them in paths they have not known. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. These things I will do for them, and not forsake them. 

Resist EVIL

Matthew 7:24-27  "Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.  But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell.  And great was its fall." Matthew 7:24-27  "Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.  But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell.  And great was its fall." 

Distractions.....

Distraction is your enemy.  You must work twice as hard as in any other season to keep your spiritual focus.  Refuse to give in to the noise and the frantic pull of obligations.  Stay quiet and maintain composure.  Do whatever it takes to gain eternal perspective, and separate yourself from everything that steals spiritual life and vitality, says the Lord.  You belong to Me!       

 

2 Peter 1:3 as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue. 

 

Sometimes the Simplest things make a Big statement

Been there done that

Come hell or high water you will never take me back to the place I was before. I have been through too much to let life whoop me again. My faith is stronger than it’s ever been, my mind is more tenacious than it’s ever been, my soul is more absolute.    -TD Jakes
