“Be still and know that I am God.” This verse fragment from Psalm 46:10 just kept appearing before me. It was a good thought — worthy of contemplation — but I really didn’t have time to think about it. I was in a hurry! Sound familiar? How often does Truth pass our lives without our stopping Him? Yes, …
When Things Seem Bleak
My dear child, Things before you are not as they seem. From outward appearance, the situation appears as overwhelming and ghastly. You see it as a great, immovable fortresses which are against My Kingdom purpose. Come here, my love. Let me remove the blinders that are blocking your sight (2 Corinthians 3:16). I’ve allowed these situations to awaken you from …
God’s Voice on Ebola
My dear child, I have been watching you. Over the last several weeks, your time has been increasingly spent reading news articles on Ebola and allowing your anxiety level to rise. You watch the news, hear the reports and when your fear peaks, you turn to mindless internet sites instead of Me. Yet, who can change a situation by …
Robbed of the View
Once every hour, Philip Johnson’s house disappears. But, it wasn’t originally built that way. Philip completed his Connecticut home in 1949 to overlook the nearby pond. As an architect, Mr. Johnson designed this unique house specifically to live amidst the landscape. Constructed almost entirely of glass, the house brings the amazing woodland views into every room. Just imagine drinking …
Picnicking in the Presence
My child, You seem to expect my walks with You to be like a picnic in the woods. From the minute you hear Me call, “Come follow”, you energetically begin the prattle about the destination and the buzz about the basket. You have dreams of rolling apple-green meadows and envision stream-side knolls where I am to unfold a patchwork …
The word and the Word
My dear one, I’ve noticed your frustration when reading My Word. You spend the allotted time, but when you come away dry, your motivation wanes and your mind wanders. A printed word, in and of itself, is just a bit of ink, dried instantly upon a two-dimensional manuscript. Words cannot utter a sound or be distinguished with the …
Do You Feel Inadequate?
My precious child, Are you okay? Are you feeling like the least in My Kingdom? It’s okay. I knew this would come up. Thinking of you, I’ve already addressed this issue. “The one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he…” (Matthew 11:11). Remember who I was speaking of? John the Baptist. …
Life, Liberty and Pursuing Him
My dear child, “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty” (2 Corinthians 3:17). Freedom is not chiseled in stone, but found by looking for Me. Liberty is not dependent upon your feelings or even your actions. Yet, it is quite easy to find. Find Me and you will find freedom. I explained this in …
One Step Prayer
My dear child, I think there has been a misunderstanding. I’ve heard your prayers and they sound pious enough. You pray for patience, kindness, love. I agree those are good things. But, there is a shade of spiritual insight that you have missed. I do not give out “things”. I always and only give out the Person …
Faithing
My precious child, Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God. Believe also in Me (John 14:1). Faith is a spiritual action, not a physical one. I asked you to faithe Me because honestly, that’s the only way that you and I can connect. Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in …
