And the Spirit reminded me:
"Even lights from burned out stars travel throughout the galaxies
without stopping. What if words were so powerful that every word you spoke
lasted forever, throughout eternity? Think long and hard about this and what
you speak."
Prayer: Lord,
help me be slow to argue my point and direct my words only as they should be.
Help my listening be more powerful.
And the Spirit said:
"Today, channel your resources to others in active ways: listen to the
unlovely, speak to the timid, give funds where needed, give your time and
talent in ways that others might receive the credit. Then, your light will
shine brighter as you have prayed."
Prayer: Lord, help us
recognize all opportunities today and behave like your children.
Holy Spirit reminded me:
"Just because something was done a certain way in the past does not
mean it must duplicate itself the very same way in the present. Don’t let your
worship of Me become such a habit that you overlook what may happen now in the
modern world. Technology continues to change many things. I may not change My
love, but circumstances continue to change. Move with the flow or outside the
box but keep Me at your center."
Prayer: Lord, I
don’t want to misread any world changes or be stagnated in any attempts at
worship.
And the Holy Spirit said:
"If you
begin your day thinking through large, personal interests and then try to come closer to Me, you will
find this proves backwards. I do not want you grudgingly accepting My will.
Start each day, accepting I am with you, with wanting more love, not forcing My will. Place within the inner circle of My love your small interests by letting Me be first in every
decision. I will expand what you need later. I don’t want you to be just one
thing or do one thing, I want you to experience a sense of belonging for all
times."
Prayer: Lord,
thank you for letting us turn all our decisions to you first before action.
And Jesus said:
"Nothing lived before Me. I am the Way, and the Way stays all around
you. When you see a child laugh, you behold the Way. When you discover a
brilliant flower, you see the Way. When you see someone offer mercy; you behold
the Way. All creation gives hint of the Way. I, your Savior, am the Way. I did
not come to create the Kingdom. My Kingdom was already here. I came to provide
a doorway through the Way to reestablish the Kingdom of the heavenly Father."
Prayer: Thank you
Lord, for helping us discover the true path to your kingdom existence.
And Holy Spirit said:
"Continue to pray to overcome the weak points in your life that cause
you wrong thought, envy, or conflict. But you do not need to spend so much time
praying to overcome negative people or situations. Give them to Me. Trust Me to
handle them. I am still in control. Just look to yourself and make sure the
negative people don’t cause your weak points to emerge. Stay walking in the
kingdom principles."
Prayer: Lord,
help me today, to appreciate those who seem to prosper, whether I do or not.
And Jesus said:
"You are always wondering which voice speaks to you. You say, 'Is this
or that of God? How do I know for sure?' There remains a constant test to know
if I am asking something of you instead of the negative forces. Ask yourself:
Will what I’m about to say or do glorify the Father? If the answer is 'no' or 'I don’t know' wait until you can answer 'yes.' My Spirit does not argue with
you. Just says, 'Thus says the Lord,' what is. I help you combine
spiritual thoughts and words with the material to arrive as a partner with the
Holy Spirit. If your activity or one you’re about to do doesn’t honor the
Father, you may not need to give it up, but rather, turn it into God’s glory.
If that can’t be done, then give it up. Your main goal is to move everything
you think and do into glorifying the Father."
Prayer: Lord, show me how to test the spirits by
depending on your Spirit.
Reminded by the Holy Spirit:
"This time of year, surrender all that does not line up with the law of love I give. Love all your neighbors. Expressions of love can be different. You do not have to love their actions. Love their potential in Me. In Mt. 5:48 I said, “be therefore perfect.” I was referring to perfect in my love, not just love expressions. Allow your faith in Me to rise and question any limitation that tries to move you away from the Kingdom path."
Prayer: Lord,
remove doubt and help me today love unloving souls.
Jesus whispered:
"Make sure any enterprise you step into comes by faith through Me and I
will send the appropriate resources you need. Success remains measured by My
viewing how you enrich the kingdom and its people. How do you measure the
enterprise? Ask: Could you perform the task without My help? Does it honor the heavenly
Father by applying his true love? Are you led by the Holy Spirit? If you can
answer these properly, resources will flow to you like living water."
Prayer: Thank
you, Lord, that you measure success in a different manner than the world.
The Holy Spirit reminded:
"Look around you. Your surroundings, your circumstances, Nature, and
the whole universe maintain valuable goals. Certain values remain constant and
important, like gravity, life, and death. What kind of universe would let all
your trials and struggles mean nothing at your end? Can death just wipe all
away? For some, it might seem so. But death cannot exhaust My love. I will not
let your life become a mockery. You have immortality in Christ. You will live on
and grow. Take comfort in your present purpose. Know My intention will never be
in vain because it continues. I am your valid eternal purpose."
Prayer: Lord,
thank you for reminding me that through your Son’s love, you give me worth and
purpose.
And the Holy Spirit said:
"The whole universe stands behind truth. You do not have to justify,
make confusing rules, or complicate truth. Lying has to be repeated over and
over to cover sham and pretense. But truth stands alone and verifies itself.
Let your 'yes' become 'yes' and your 'no' become a clear 'no.' ”
Prayer: Thank you
Lord, for reminding me that all truth comes from your essence.
And the Spirit said:
"All around you vibrates the heavenly Father’s Way. So, it is not, 'where there’s a will, there’s a way.' It is rather, 'where remains God’s Way,
there resides a will.' All of creation ripples with the effects of God’s way.
Look for it. Allow His will to become your willingness. Jehovah Father is
reclaiming His creation."
Prayer: Lord, help
me filter all my willful decisions through your plan.
And Jesus advised:
"By contacting and talking to Me daily, you build up a kind of reserve.
When crisis comes you can respond automatically with My love because you have
accumulated this storehouse of habit. Your nature changes more into My nature
and genuine love can reign."
Prayer: Thank
you, Lord, for the Holy Spirit who rises up when needed to show your genuine
love.
Jesus whispered:
"The future possesses hidden treasures, couched in eternity. Still,
your daily issues continue to be guided by your Heavenly Father. You chose your
daily battles, but continue to lean on Me. The Holy Spirit is within."
Prayer: Lord,
help me know which battles to enter and which to avoid.
