(`´) *`.(`´). ` `..´ ` ..... "Jesus Calling Daily"... "Give up the illusions that you deserve a problem-free life. Part of you is still hungering for the resolution of all difficulties. This is a false hope! As I told My disciples, in the world you will have trouble. Link your hope not to problem solving in this life but to the promise of an eternity of problem-free life in heaven. Instead of seeking perfection in this fallen world, pour your energy into seeking Me: the Perfect One. It is possible to enjoy Me and glorify Me in the midst of adverse circumstances. In fact, My Light shines most brightly through believers who trust Me in the dark. That kind of trust is supernatural: a production of My indwelling Spirit. When things seem all wrong, trust Me anyway. I am much less interested in right circumstances than in right responses to whatever comes your way." John 16:33 King James Version (KJV) 33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. Psalm 112:4-7 King James Version (KJV) 4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous. 5 A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion. 6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. 7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.

Happy Tuesday NO GODS BEFORE ME Isaiah 43:10 You are my witnesses, declares the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and belie...ve me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me. Yesterday we saw where God had told Moses that the people would have You shall have no other gods before me(Exodus 20:3), now God is reminding them again that He was here before any of the small g, gods and will be here after they had faded away. Israel’s biggest problem is very similar to some of the problems that face nations today, they had failed to completely eradicate all of the negative influences of false gods out from amongst them. During the period from crossing the river Jordan with Joshua till now the nation of Israel went back and forth between the Loving God and the false gods of their times. A good study of this is found in 1&2 Kings and 1&2 Chronicles, in there we find the roller coaster of kings and the people going back and forth between false gods like Baal and the living God, depending on who the king was. Now fast forward to modern times and we see history repeating itself. We see people making idols and gods out of objects or celebrities, or trying to make ungodly lifestyles acceptable to God thru destruction of Gods institutions like marriage and family. What the sad part is this isn’t the first time what we see around us has happened to God, we have to remember that God has seen everything and can see everything from the very beginning of time and can see everything to the end of time. We are just here for what would be a blink of the eye to God, and while we are living in a culture that wants to make its own rules, this isn’t the first time God has seen this disobedience and defiance to Him. Yet the outcome is always the same, God continues to exist with the same principles, standards, Commandments and love while the false gods just fade away, leaving a path of moral destruction behind. Just remember the last part of the verse Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me. Have a great day and be safe out there today. God bless

(`´) *`.(`´). ` `..´ ` ..... "Learn to DISCERN!!"... So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it Isaiah 55:11. For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart Hebrews 4:12. My Word will go out unto the ends of the earth. My Word that is being transcribed by My true prophets in this hour, is being sent out unto the ends of the earth. And My Word will not fall to the ground; for the seed that is dropped will grow and it will replenish its hearers. For there are words that are hollow and there are words that give life. A true word spoken from Me will add sinew and tendons to its hearers. For it would cause the young saplings to spread out and grow. For there are many trees in the forest, and each of them has their own unique shape and design. So it is with those of my children. For some of you have weathered many hard and difficult seasons. But my word that goes out from my throne will enter into your frame and it will breathe new life into it. But just as My Word from my throne gives new life, there are ‘hollow words’ as well. These are those words that don’t come from Me. They are said in your own imaginations and opinions. While the words may sound right at first, there is no inspiration or ‘life’ in them. There are many voices spoken in this hour. Oh that my children would grow in their ability to discern! For you have your senses to know when a meal tastes bad. You know when a song is out of tune. So, grow in your ability to know these other things as well. Not all that glitters is gold. For there is false gold and there is true gold. For then, when you can discern these things in your spirit then you will be growing unto mature manhood. Then those words that come to you from every side will not cause you to be tossed to and fro like the waves on the ocean.

Come Holy Spirit Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. ...And You shall renew the face of the earth. Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit, that my thoughts may all be Holy. Act in me, O Holy Spirit, that my work, too, may be Holy. Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit, that I love but what is Holy. Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit, to defend all that is Holy. Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit, that I always may be Holy. Amen See more

"Jesus Calling" "I AM YOUR FATHER-GOD. Listen to Me! Learn what it means to be a child of the everlasting King. Your richest duty is devotion to Me. This duty ...is such a joyous privilege that it feels like a luxury. You tend to feel guilty about pushing back the boundaries of your life to make space for time alone with Me. The world is waiting to squeeze you into its mold and to crowd out time devoted to Me. The ways of the world have also warped your conscience, which punishes you for doing the very thing that pleases Me most: seeking My Face. Listen to Me above the clamor of voices trying to distract you. Ask for My Spirit to calm your mind, for He and I work in perfect harmony. Be still and attentive in My Presence. You are on holy ground." Romans 8:15-16 21st Century King James Version (KJ21) 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear, but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba! Father! 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit that we are the children of God; Exodus 3:5 21st Century King James Version (KJ21) 5 And He said, Draw not nigh hither. Put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.

God’s plan for your life is already laid out and what He has PURPOSED to come into your life will surely MANIFEST. Proverbs 19:21 Many plans are in a man’s mind..., BUT it is the Lord’s PURPOSE for him that will STAND OR PREVAIL. For God will make sure His purpose for your life will PREVAIL! See more

Live Life, To Its Fullest We take life, for granted Though it’s given, from God above God, in Jesus Christ Sends it in to us, in His Love... To cherish, and experience As He lead, and guides us through And if you try, to live it without Him You’re sure, to be troubled, true, So live life, to it’s fullest As you keep, The Lord with you And remember, that He Loves you And He wants, to help you through, And when this life, is over If in Jesus Christ, you are He’ll take you up, to be with Him You’ll be eternally, better off by far.

Streams in the Desert - November 5 Is there anything too hard for Jehovah? (Gen. 18:14). Here is God's loving challenge to you and to me today. He wants us to t...hink of the deepest, highest, worthiest desire and longing of our hearts, something which perhaps was our desire for ourselves or for someone dear to us, yet which has been so long unfulfilled that we have looked upon it as only a lost desire, that which might have been but now cannot be, and so have given up hope of seeing it fulfilled in this life. That thing, if it is in line with what we know to be His expressed will (as a son to Abraham and Sarah was), God intends to do for us, even if we know that it is of such utter impossibility that we only laugh at the absurdity of anyone's supposing it could ever now come to pass. That thing God intends to do for us, if we will let Him. "Is anything too hard for the Lord?" Not when we believe in Him enough to go forward and do His will, and let Him do the impossible for us. Even Abraham and Sarah could have blocked God's plan if they had continued to disbelieve. The only thing too hard for Jehovah is deliberate, continued disbelief in His love and power, and our final rejection of His plans for us. Nothing is too hard for Jehovah to do for them that trust Him --Messages for the Morning Watch See more

Jesus Calling Nov 5 "Don't let your happiness depend on what's going on in your life. Connect your joy to My precious promises: 'I am with you and will watch ov...er you wherever you go. I will meet all your needs according to My glorious riches. Nothing in all creation will be able to separate you from My Love,'" -Jesus Calling for Kids by Sarah Young. Genesis 28:15King James Version (KJV) 15 And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of. Philippians 4:19King James Version (KJV) 19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Romans 8:38-39King James Version (KJV) 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Grace, grace, God's grace, His grace is sufficient for me Grace, grace, God's grace, will give me, the victory Grace woke me up this morning, Grace started me o...n my way Grace makes me love all my enemies, and I know Grace brightens up my day Grace is God's grip on man Faith is man's grip on God Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Denise Perry Abrams

The Father Says Today: November 5th, 2014 The Father says today align the mental traffic in your head to the flow of My thoughts coursing through your heart rig...ht this moment. You know you have nothing to fear. You know that My preeminence is finding its way in your life to produce maturity, victory, joy and overcoming in your day. So take it as a learning experience. When others are raising their voices in complaining and murmuring make it your choice to access the secret place of My presence. Open your eyes and see from that secure vantage point what I am going to do to bring you through in first class style! No more compromising. No more stifling your song in the night seasons. Allow My song to persist in your life and refuse to allow the opposition of the enemy to tear you down in any way. You are a champion. You are an overcomer. You are not a victim you are a victor. You don’t HAVE to fight the enemy you GET to fight the enemy. There is no question whether the enemy is being defeated. The only question is whether you get to lay into him before he is finally dragged pummeled and bleeding away from the field of conflict. So move forward this day and do not allow intimidation or fear to rob you of this rare moment of putting your foot in the neck of your enemy and trumpeting from the top of your lungs the supremacy of the cross and the manifestation of the throne in your life.

A blessed day to you Brothers and Sisters. <3 -L "But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." Matthew 6...:33 ESV "Seek the Lord while he may be found; call upon him while he is near; let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon." Isaiah 55:6-7 ESV "And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you." Psalm 9:10 ESV

.** Psalm 32 .** [[A Psalm of David, Maschil.]] Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man unto wh...om the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile. When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long. For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah. I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah. For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him. Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah. Tools specific to Psa 32:8 Psa 32:8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee. Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about. Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.

Dear Father, there are so many people hurting in our world, some are your children some are not. Lord, you are the Great Healer, not only of our sins, but of ou...r bodies. Remember all who are ill tonight and who suffer through long hours of pain and misery. Help them to reach out to touch the hem of your garment in faith. Help those who have no one to pray for them Help the parentless children and the childless parents. Help those who are all tangled up in problems whether it be financial, physical, mental or any other. You said you can straighten out the crooked ways. This world has so many crooked ways but we have a righteous God who lives and answers prayer and is preparing a Holy Heaven for a Holy prepared people. I pray for dispaired pastors, I pray for someone who has given up on life because they have tried everything else but You. I pray that our churches will see an influx of children because if we don't have this, in a few years, we wont have a church. Help us oh God. Keep a watchfulness over our spirits and keep us ready for you to split the eastern sky! In your name, Jesus, we pray....Amen ~Bob Hunt~

When dealing with people, you have to know when God is working with them. Sometimes conviction is on them, not condemnation but conviction, and they come to you... for relief, and comfort but that conviction is of the Holy Ghost you should not let anyone off the hook whom God has put his finger on something in their life He wants to address that may be unpleasing to God. The best way to help them is to encourage them to obey the voice and leading of the Lord. In doing so, their peace will return, and conviction will leave. Conviction means to be declared guilty. But all guilty verdicts do not end up in condemnation. All were declared guilty (Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;) But those that were obedient to God and have put faith in Jesus Christ were not condemned. Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Hebrews 5:9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; Denise Perry Abrams

Jesus Calling Nov 3rd Just because something got in your way and ruined your plans doesn't mean you should get all upset, it means talk to God. He always blesse...s you when you talk to Him and it makes you stronger in Him. Also, instead of being all down about what you missed it helps you to be thankful for all opportunities that He gives you. It takes away the hurt. When you get in the habit of going to Him you set yourself up for discipline in practicing being in His Presence. It prepares you for bigger events in the future. Colossians 4:2 (NLT) Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart. Philippians 3:7-8 (NLT) I once thought these things were valuable, but now I consider them worthless because of what Christ has done. Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ.
