Forward Thinking Feb. 3

 

    The Holy Spirit whispered:    

    When you daydream with your mind’s eye, look forward not backward. See what can stand before you, not dwell on experiences already done. See what you need for the present and maybe the future, not what has passed. Envision yourself working through the details, with God’s help, of what CAN happen next, but do not project further than your faith. You need not be anxious about this. If nothing comes to mind, then listen more closely with your spiritual ears. The heavenly Father speaks to you constantly. Calm your body; shut down your self-talk and listen with clear focus upon the words given through scripture and any word that truly comes from heaven.

Prayer: Lord, help me keep the right faith today and listen to what may be next.

Release control Feb. 2

 

And the Lord said:       

    Sometimes when you pray or worry over someone and that person just doesn’t get it, just doesn't make it like you thought, you need to release them to me. You may still have concern but give up the thought that you have to fix things, especially by prayer. Let go of any feeling you must beg or grasp heavenly Father for any control. Holy Spirit has it under the right management.

Prayer: Lord, help me live each day and fall forward, knowing you will catch me

Is Anything Secure? Feb.1

        The eternal life heavenly Father has given you sustains the energy that flows through you to restore, heal, and renew yourself and others. Give full awareness to that life even if those issues seem partially solved, for that energy is the evidence that the Holy Spirit works. As you breathe, say the words, “I breathe in the Holy Spirit; I breathe out corruption.”  You can stay secure in that life.

Prayer: Lord, thank you for the security of the Holy Spirit’s presence.

Grace Energy Jan. 31

 Holy Spirit gave insight:

        One trait of personhood runs deeper than pain or pleasure. It expresses itself as a murmur of Jehovah that created you, a longing after the meaning of your existence. It is actually a redemption bell from the grace energy of Jehovah, ringing quietly all the time. This is part of being made in God’s image. Still, you must work with conscious effort to recognize and cultivate this longing. It vibrates deeply within and swells up from within. Pray, meditate, study God’s word, speak to God as a friend; do whatever it takes to nurture the yearning. For it is at this point that the Holy Spirit can mesh with your spirit. The longing quality becomes a true motivator for the kingdom of heaven advancement. Yearning for heavenly Father shows the authentic life-flow of Grace.

 

Prayer: Thank you, Lord, that your Grace covers us one day at a time and can give us future energy reserve as well.

 

Time Definition Jan. 30

 The Holy Spirit Taught:

        People were not made for the Sabbath; the Sabbath was made for people. People were not made for Time, but Time was made for people. Have you noticed that often two special moments, for the individual, cannot run side by side at the same time, but must follow one another in succession? Why? Why is time on this earth linear? One answer is just one of the heavenly Father’s principal differences. 

    Time as we know it is step by step yet in any given moment, any given minute, any given second, any given blink of an eye, the Son of God, can break through and save because His time runs without measure. Creation has drifted away from original creation. Jesus came to set it back on the right path. One day all will be back to completion and time, as you experience it will cease. Every moment should count for the kingdom. What does this mean to you? It means do all you can, with any resource you have, with any gift you have, whenever you can, to help the fellowship of God. You must trust that ANY moment you plant a seed for Jesus, it will grow into a forest for Christ. And remember that planting a seed plants a potential for an actual answer to someone’s prayer.

Prayer: Lord, help me plant your seed every day.

Reality Jan. 29

 

The Spirit taught:

    The door to heavenly Father opens and he readily exposes truths to you through his Son. God is unchanging, permanent reality because he IS LOVE. Learn love from Him. Think on him. Get to know him. Discuss him with others. See how he fits life. He has told you to love your neighbor as yourself. But that has to be the right kind of love. If you love with only self-love, you miss the point. Self-love wants something in return. You need the quality of love God gives. It is centered in other love. You are to love as God has loved you. To love with the Heavenly Father’s love is always other–love, unconditional from God, full of forgiveness. Practice and learn the love God gives, full of heavenly Father’s Grace.

Prayer: Lord, I know my errors are because I don’t love enough. Keep me learning the ways of your other-centered love.

True Giving Jan. 28

 

Holy Spirit Taught:

        The strongest effort of giving needs you to give a part of yourself away at every point you can: in relationships, through time, accumulated resources, your concern and care. When you learn true spiritual giving and then give, you can pass on any of your resources to those who need them. Even if people do not merit such gifts, give anyway to reflect the all-giving Heavenly Father. If you just give out of duty or habit, then the kingdom is not enhanced. You might give as a worthy practice, but heavenly Father-giving always has a piece of you in it.

Prayer: Lord, help me give in ways to further your Son’s glory.
