leap for joy and shine bright because you are a child of God

It is written, “But unto you who revere and worshipfully fear My name shall the Son of Righteousness arise with healing in His wings and His beams, and you shall go forth…like calves (released) from the stall and leap for joy.” (Malachi 4:2)

My beloved, there is healing in My wings. My healing presence shines brightly on you and within you. This is a gift for you because you revere and fear My name. Because you honor Me, you can receive my blessings and leap for joy!

So wait with me. In My healing presence. In My beams of glory light. I will do good work within you. And like a calf released from its stall, you can go forth and shine for others to see all that I have done.

Be sure to give Me the credit for your joy. So that others may see you and want to know Me more. May your life shine brightly and point others to Me.

I highly recommend reading the Bible daily to grow in your walk with Christ. http://www.gotquestions.org is a great resource for any questions you may have about the Word of God.

Distractions are Plenty

distractions are plenty, so how do we get quiet time with God?

It is written, “But cling to the Lord, your God, as you have done to this day.” (Joshua 23:8) Do you ever feel like life is too full of distractions to have quality time with God?

My precious child, quiet moments with me allow me to speak to your heart. You can hear the tender words of My voice. Though distractions are plenty, so is My hand. 

When you feel pulled in too many directions, cling to me. Don’t let your mind deceive you into thinking you have no time for me. Time doesn’t exist with me. 

Though you are bound within the confines of time and space, I am unlimited. Unlimited in how I can work in your life, in this world, and through you. But you must listen to My voice. 

So how can you hear from me daily? Quiet yourself without distractions. Come to My Word and meditate on it. It is your armor and your shield in this fallen and broken world. But fear not, I have overcome this world. 

To grow deeper in your relationship with God, I highly recommend reading His Word. If you have any questions about the Bible, http://www.gotquestions.org is a great resource!

Unafraid

God says that when we live by the Holy Spirit, we will live in peace and safety. We can live unafraid.

It is written, “All who listen to me shall live in peace and safety, unafraid.” (Proverbs 1:33)

My beloved, you’re learning how to listen to me. Isn’t it lovely? That you and I can go through life hand in hand in this way. So intimately connected to one another.

When you hear My voice, you need not be afraid. My Holy Spirit, your Helper, will guide your steps. My Word, alive and powerful, takes root within you and helps you grow to new heights.

Your desire for peace can be satiated with a commitment to listening to me. We walk through life together, so that my Will may be done.

I love you and I’m so proud of you. You can live unafraid. I am doing a new thing!

The First and Greatest Commandment

Posted on by under Conversations with God
Home » Conversations with God
The first and greatest commandment is to love the Lord our God with all of our heart, with all of our soul, and with all of our mind.

It is written, “Jesus replied: ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment.” (Matthew 22:37-38)

My beloved, I love you. Do you know why I say this is the first and greatest commandment? For your own good, of course.

See, when the success of your day is measured by how well you’ve loved Me, you are far less prone to feelings of failure. The rest of your day is automatically improved, when your primary goal is to love me. What does that look like?

Stay in close communion with me. I want to be a part of your day. Right down to the details. Seek me with all of your heart, and you will find me.

This world will show you all the ways you’ve failed and not measured up. You didn’t get around to this, you forgot about that…

But when you’ve loved me with your whole heart and soul and mind, you can rest assured that your day was a success, no matter what your circumstances. When you keep your eyes focused on me, and walk in the light of My presence, your paths will be made straight. Your heart and soul and mind can breathe a sigh of relief.

If God loves us then why do we suffer?

Women suffering with head in her hands. If God love us, why do we suffer?

It is written, “The Spirit of the Lord… has sent me to heal the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound.” (Isaiah 61:1) Why does God allow us to suffer, if He loves us?

You want to know why this has happened to you. You want to make sense of your suffering. As though this world operates from a helm of justice. But alas! You live in a fallen world. And true justice will not be restored until I come back. 

Suffering is a part of your life on Earth. Even my own Son, Jesus Christ, suffered. Do you remember what Jesus called out on the cross? “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?” There that question is again. Why. 

Indeed, you are not alone in your suffering. You often aren’t even the cause of your suffering. Your suffering is the result of the fall of mankind. And I can assure you that it breaks My heart just as much as it does yours. 

So pick up the pieces of your heart, dear one. And bring them to me. Then watch and wait in My healing presence as I mend your broken heart and turn your suffering into glory. 

I am near to the broken-hearted. And I am near to you now.

A Mind Controlled by the Spirit

Posted on by under Conversations with God
Home » Conversations with God
The bible tells us that the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace

It is written, “The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace.” (Romans 8:6) 

Ask the Holy Spirit to help you think My thoughts. Your mind is powerful. You know to beware of your thoughts. When your thoughts begin to overwhelm and control you, your mind leads you towards death. 

Call out to me! And I will answer you. I will help you to think like me, with gratitude and grace. So that your mind can be dominated by My thoughts, which are higher than yours. 

When your mind is controlled by My thoughts, you experience life and peace. This is what I offer you. 

Remember, while your adversary tempts you, I test you. Your faith is strengthened in trials of any kind. I love you.

Total and Complete Healing

Experience God's total and complete healing.

Are you ready for total and complete healing? This sort of healing can only come from the power of the Holy Spirit.

It is written, “We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.” (2 Corinthians 4:8) 

My precious one, keep your eyes on me. The Author and Finisher of your faith. Have I not proven that I am trustworthy? 

Surely, I could take away your circumstances in an instant, but I have not yet. Praise me in trials of any kind, for I am at work within you. Like a potter molds his clay, so do I use your circumstances to mold you. 

So rejoice in all that I am doing! Though you are perplexed, you are not in despair. For you know me. Now go, and tell the others what I’ve done for you. Total and complete healing.

I Have Great Compassion for You

Posted on by under Conversations with God

It is written, “You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.” (Psalm 16:11) 

My beloved, draw near to me and I draw near to you. I intended that we do life together in this way. In deep intimacy. 

From time to time, you forget who I am. You begin to try to exert control over your own life. To do life away from me. While this hurts me, and distances yourself from me, my love for you remains steadfast. And when you remember just how much you need me, when you kneel in awe before me, I embrace you like a parent embraces their child. I have great compassion for you. 

I am always here. Eager to be a part of your life. I am the sustainer of your life. So cling to me. 

God is a Refuge for Us

Posted on by under Conversations with God

It is written, “Trust in Him at all times you people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us.” (Psalm 62:8) 

My beloved, there are no feelings too big for me. Nothing that you say, do, or even think surprises me. Not a hair falls from your head without me knowing. So then, don’t you think that I already know your heart? 

Come to me with your weary soul and I will give you rest. Pour out your heart to me and my Holy Spirit will comfort you. I am your Counselor, better than any therapist you could hire. Share with me and receive peace in My presence. 

Not only will you find comfort, but I will also give you strength to face the battle before you. And wisdom to know your next step. 

The God of angel’s armies helps you. In a real, literal, and physical way. Why would you look anywhere else for comfort? 

My arms are open. My ears are listening. In your weakness, my power is on full display. I love you. 

Go in Peace

Posted on by under Conversations with God

It is written, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6-7) 

Do not be anxious about anything. I have heard your prayers and my word is good. Cling to My Word, for it is your life source. I am the Word and the Word is me. The Word is alive! 

So rejoice! I have heard your requests and I have compassion on you. The compassion you feel for your loved ones is only a mere fraction of the love I have for you. Why then would your heart be troubled? 

Let my peace guard your heart and mind. In me, all things are possible. Have I not proven my faithfulness? 

Consider it a blessing when you face trials, for my power is made great in your weakness. These trials provide an opportunity for you to strengthen your faith and grow closer to me. In your trials, my power is on full display. 

Remember child, we are on this journey together. You are not alone. I will equip you. So lean into me and trust in me. Go in peace.
