A Combination Nov.30

And the Holy Spirit said:

"Righteousness and intelligence should go together when understanding Kingdom of God principles. A person who guides only with intelligence and no right doing should be avoided. A person who tries to lead with righteousness and no intelligence cannot be as trustworthy either. Intelligence may only point to worldly conclusions. Righteousness alone tends toward emotional bondage. Trust the person who uses both energies to bridge an understanding in your Savior."

Prayer: Thank you, Lord, that the Holy Spirit does not trick us with thoughts or emotions like some people.

Nature Nov.22

The Holy Spirit said:

"What you call Nature bursts forth as one of the harmonious expressions of God the Father couched in human time. Read the colors, the sounds, the overall structure of Nature. They vibrate His love of recreation, life death, life, death and always life again. You can be helped to understand a creative Father’s love."

Prayer: Thank you, Father. You teach us again and again to practice our awe and wonder by observing your creation.

Death Nov.21

And Jesus said:

"I never conducted a funeral. Death is the usurper and the opposite of life. I only give opportunity for life. Memorial services speak to a person’s past. I call upon you for a dedication of living service, a steady commitment for the present and future. There is nothing wrong with past accomplishments. Just do not dwell on them. Look to the opportunities I bring you now. Any seed planted will have potential future growth and may be fulfilling some heaven request."

Prayer: Our Father, thank you for the abundant opportunities of life you have given us so freely.

Compassion Nov.20

       Holy Spirit said:

"The Father can dispense tenderness and goodness to anyone. He sustains compassion on all He has made. His love-kingdom vibrates as an everlasting kingdom and will last throughout the generations. Regardless of any circumstance, nothing stops His love energy. He is love and does love at the same time."

Prayer: Thank you Lord, that everything you do comes out of your never-ending love.

Hope Nov.19

And the Holy Spirit said:

"I give you a picture. At night, view yourself standing, in a new house with no roof overhead, only walls surround you. You can still look up and see the stars. No matter how dark the inside of your circumstances around you become, look up. I am still here."

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank you for your very existence. I will trust you are always with us.

Response Nov.18

Holy Spirit said:

"My love may send someone your way today. I may have impressed them to come specifically to you. No matter who they are or what they look like. Pay attention. Don’t turn anyone away from some need."

Prayer: Most days, Lord, my greatest need is to pay attention to you and all my surroundings.

Links Nov.17

And Jesus reminded:

"Because of the connectedness of all things in the universe, the Father delights in working out every detail to bring honor to your trust and commitment. Holy Spirit will bring to pass your needs and desires when you rest in Him. Start each day talking to me and look for what I will work out to your benefit. You may not see it at first but believe in My connections. The journey can be its own reward."

Prayer: Lord, thank you for the control and directions you give our lives. We would be truly lost without you.

Today’s Growth Nov.16

And Jesus said:

"When you first met Me, you were bursting with the wonder of first impressions. Nothing seemed impossible. Then, came a longer time of learning and experiences that punched away at your faith, but those times helped to strengthen you. You entered a place of questions whether your original joy would ever return again. With more and more of your journey in and out from Me, you wonder if you’ve lost your sense of wonder. It will come more strongly today. Watch for the experience."

Prayer: Lord, I am still amazed at your Grace for us.

Purification Nov.15

And the Holy Spirit reminded:

"Remember: 'Blessed are the pure in heart' promotes maintaining right relationships because those seeking heart purity are kind. Kindness is not intimidating. One essential ingredient of this is grounded in loyalty to kingdom circumstances. Be more concerned about your opportunities to relate properly to others than your efforts to acquire things that make you comfortable."

Prayer: Lord, sometimes it’s hard, but help me put relationships first.

Shyness Nov.14

And the Holy Spirit taught:

"A misplaced shyness may become an obnoxious form of vanity because it develops from an extreme sense of a lowly self-worth. Sham and pretense develop from a misplaced shyness. The deceit of pretense will paralyze any good works. Accept your actual worth in Me and be bold. Know that I can be your Lord in every situation."

Prayer: Lord, help me behave more openly with my Christian witness.

Giving Nov.13

Holy Spirit said:

"Remember, every time you give something, you may be a part of someone’s answered prayer. My connections are large indeed."

Prayer: Heavenly Father, help me stay generous today in all things.

What to plant? Nov.12

The Holy Spirit whispered:

"Any mercy and graciousness you plant during the bad times can blossom as good seed planted for others to harvest even when you are gone."

Prayer: Lord, help me direct my actions so any seed I plant can help grow your kingdom.

How big is God’s love? Nov.11

And Jesus reminded:

"I have said that the Father’s love has length, breadth, height, and depth. To this you are connected. His length remains His everlasting, non-ending being. His breadth shows His love as extending to all people what He wills for Himself and others. His height displays His power, so you can pray with all the energy of your spirit. His depth stands for wisdom of all the Spirit knows and dwells within those who have ears to hear."

Prayer: Lord, thank you for helping us understand your all-embracing love.

Who is God? Nov.9

The Holy Spirit said:

"Jehovah God was never created. He vibrates eternally, by a supernatural essence of love. Any true good that a human can witness, possess and live comes only by His Grace, displayed through His Son."

Prayer: Help me know every minute that your Grace says it all.

Spirit World Nov.8

And the Holy Spirit said:

"Practice reducing your taste, touch, sight, smell, and hearing to fully contact Me. Your body will rebel and make noises to fight you on this. Go to a quiet place; close your eyes; shut out all the noise you can and throw your thoughts out beyond this world. Let your spirit soar away from physical connections. This, then, will become your highest form of prayer. A large hole will open among the blackness when you tear through the great rift between heaven and earth. Move in thought and spirit through the hole and linger in My presence."

Prayer: Lord, thank you for continually teaching me ways to form better connection with you.

Durability Nov.7

 And Jesus said:

"Any work you want to be permanent must be done through the Holy Spirit, embraced by the Father’s essence. All other efforts remain as temporary results. Search scripture and pray for what the Spirit wants you to do. Don’t just think of something and ask the Spirit to bless it. And keep in mind: Anytime a human admits weakness, God the Father has opportunity to become strong. The Kingdom of God remains a realm of service for all."

Prayer: Lord, help me not rush ahead of the Spirit’s focus.

Simplicity Nov. 6

And Jesus reminded:

"Nothing remains insignificant because I can connect all things. Remember, you live in this world and My kingdom at the same time. You need to flavor everyday events with kingdom joy. When you greet someone give them a kingdom smile. When you see someone on the street, send them a kingdom prayer. No occasion, no contact stays too small to enhance the kingdom principles. Even though you do not see anything on the surface, trust that I am working underneath. Blessed are you when you hunger and thirst for the kingdom in every word and deed. My kingdom is a kingdom of service, not self power."

Prayer: Lord, keep reminding me every moment, I am to serve gladly any who cross my path.

Perception Nov.5

Holy Spirit said:

"My wisdom gives you better discernment and can help you make the right decisions to live the full life the Father intended. Ask for His wisdom and through this grows respect for who I am, and your quality of trust will blossom. Your trust quality sustains your shield against the evil doers. It will keep you out of unnecessary trouble. Ask for the right wisdom in every detail and your soul will be enriched."

Prayer: Lord, I do pray for discernment with every decision.

Poor in spirit Nov.4

And God said:

"Poor in spirit means to renounce yourself being totally in control. It does not mean to dishonor the self. I do not want to rule over a ruined self but a surrendered one. What happens when you renounce your Self? You are left with an emptiness to be filled. The Holy Spirit can now make you aware of your God need, God dependence, and God origin. You can accept the Father’s grace and lean fully on him. Without the emptying of the self, you would still be filled with all the worldly clutter. That clutter pushes out the Holy Spirit, silencing his inner message. In modern terms, crucify your false self so your true self can be resurrected."

Prayer: Lord, I do pray you would fill my emptiness and help me with other-centered opportunities.

Accountability Nov. 1

And Jesus said:

"When I said, “Lo I am with you alway” in Matthew 28, I meant for you to pay attention to all the daily details you experience. I may break through to you at any minute because the time and circumstances merge together for my immediate presence. Remember, My ways are not always humanity’s ways."

Prayer: Lord, increase my awareness of your incoming messages.
