Unlimited Possibilities

Limits: One finds them at every turn in life…

Some are necessary to protect
Some are oppressive and lack respect
Some you have placed upon yourself

For you often see yourself with a limited vision.

Fearful at times or timid it seems. You may not fear the enemy, but many fear making the wrong decision.

Have you given Me full reign to move and have My being in your life?

If you have, then you can trust and know that I will direct you with confidence, for I know the road ahead. If your purpose is to make the right choice, then why would I direct you wrong? If you asked for bread, would I then give you a stone?

Many move without a direction in their heart, and then wonder why I ‘allowed’ them to make a wrong choice.

Misdirection comes from your mind, will, and emotions. Direction comes from Me. If you will only wait to see where I lead, then you will know and proceed with confidence. For I AM your compass–your True North and I will lead you, truly, if you will wait on Me.

Wait and See

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For every one who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Or what man of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!” Matthew 7:-11

“I have taught you the way of wisdom; I have led you in the paths of uprightness. When you walk, your step will not be hampered; and if you run, you will not stumble. Keep hold of instructions, do not let go; guard her, for she is your life.” Proverbs 4:11-13

“For in him we live, and move and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said. For we are also his offspring.” Acts 17:28 KJV

“I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you. Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding, which must be curbed with bit and bridle, else it will not keep with you. Many are the pangs of the wicked; but steadfast love surrounds him who trusts in the Lord. Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in heart!” Psalms 32:8-11

“Jesus looked at them and said, ‘With men it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.'” Mark 10:27

“And Jesus said to him, ‘If you can! All things are possible to him who believes.'” Mark 9:28

You Will Know

May26

Often you will find that My instruction and direction comes when you least expect it. I purpose this, for you know in your surprise, that you did not cause it to come.

I may use someone to speak a word to you in the grocery store, that will quicken the spirit within you and you will know.

You may stumble upon a scripture that enlightens you with revelation, and you will know.

You may just hear my still small voice, when you are focused elsewhere, and you will know.

You will know that I have come to you to make Myself heard.

A message heard so clearly that to second guess would be absurd.

When you know that you know…

Then you will know!

“That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power in us who believe, according to the working of his great might which he accomplished in Christ when he raised him for the dead and made him sit at his right hand in heavenly places.” Ephesians 1:17-20

“If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also through his Spirit which dwells in you.” Romans 8:11

“And he said, “Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and broke in pieces the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.” I Kings 19:11-12

“–It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.'” Matthew 4:4

“Thy word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” Psalms 119:105

Two for ONE

May10

You and I, we are a team; we flow as one, you and I. My Father and I understand this, as now do you, that two cannot walk together unless they be agreed–in agreement as one. It is the requirement of a good marriage–the two shall be joined as one; no longer two but one. Your hearts are steadfast and there is no shadow of turning if you are one.

To walk away would be to turn your back on yourself, it just cannot be done.

I choose to be one with you, as you have chosen Me. My Father has called you, for He has known your heart; we are no longer two or three, but ONE. In this way, think of your life as being one with Me. Our decisions are made together. We commune throughout the day and share along the way. When something troubles you, we discuss it. When there is a task I would like you to do–I ask.

Do you understand that when you asked Me to come into your life it was to be ONE? Never will we part. Many speak marriage vows and declare “until death do us part.” That will never happen with you and I, for we will never die, and for now and all eternity…

I will never depart

We are a team, you and I…

We are ONE.

“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me; and I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.” John 10:27-30

“Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and whoever lives and believes in me shall never die…” John 11:25

“The glory which thou hast given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, I in them and thou in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that thou hast sent me and hast loved them even as thou hast loved me.” John 17:22-23

“I am praying for them; I am not praying for the world but for those whom thou hast given me, for they are thine; all mine are thine, and thine are mine, and I am glorified in them. And they are in the world, and I am coming to thee, Holy Father, keep them in thy name, which thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as we are one.” John 17:9-11

“Can two people walk together without agreeing on the direction?” Amos 3:3 NLT

“And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him. a threefold cord is not quickly broken.” Ecclesiastes 4:12

Wise Prayer

May1

Mistakes are often made when one is too eager to get the job done.

You would be wise to be respectful and use caution when advancing into the unknown. When receiving instruction to move forward, it is expected that you will be prayerful about the advance. Enlist wisdom from above. I will provide it liberally, giving direction and encouragement as well.

Enlist Me

I await your invitation. I AM respectful of your time, for it is necessary that you exercise your will in all aspects of the call. I empower you, but I do not overpower or control you.

I AM delighted when My faithful ones are ready and listening for My direction. As long as they are willing and move forward, I continue to lead. But I do not push, nor prod or pull.

It is the willing and obedient that eat the good of the land.

Are you willing?

Will you obey?

Are you hungry?

Let us prepare–Let’s pray!

“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask God, who gives to all men generously and without reproaching, and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways, will receive anything from the Lord.” James 1:5-8

“Therefore gird up your minds, be sober, set your hope fully upon the grace that is coming to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, be holy yourselves in all your conduct; since it is written, ‘You shall be holy, for I am holy.'” I Peter 1:13-16

“His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, that through these you may escape from the corruption that is in the world because of passion, and become partakers of the divine nature. For this very reason make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. For if these things are yours and abound, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.” II Peter 1:3-8

“–we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, to lead a life worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God. May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy, giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. He has delivered us from the dominion of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” Colossians 1:9-14

“If you pour yourself out for the hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in the darkness and your gloom be as the noonday. And the Lord will guide you continually, and satisfy your desire with good things, and make your bones strong; and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.” Isaiah 58:10-11

“If you are willing and obedient you shall eat the good of the land.” Isaiah 1:19

The Hidden Link

Apr27

Compassion is a link to My own heart, for I AM Compassion.

I have lived compassion.

Those who came to Me sick, lame, hungry and alone, the poor and brokenhearted–all will testify that I lived compassion. In death I held compassion for each and every one of you. I freely gave My life, that you may eternally live as I lived–in compassion for others.

There is no greater love than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Within compassion, you will find another word…

Compass

A true heart will be led by compassion, and the direction you are to take can be found in your heart, if your heart contains compassion.

Follow the leading of your heart, for I dwell within…

and

I AM Compassion.

I AM your Compass.

Follow it.

Follow Me.

“Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you.” John 15:13-14

“And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every infirmity. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.” Matthew 9:35-36

“And great crowds came to him, bringing with them the lame, the maimed, the blind, the dumb, and many others, and they put them at his feet, and he healed them, so that the throng wondered, when they saw the dumb speaking, the maimed whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.” Matthew 15:30-31

“Now when John heard in prison about the deeds of the Christ, he sent word by his disciples and said to him, ‘Are you he who is to come, or shall we look for another?’ And Jesus answered them, ‘Go and tell John what you hear and see: the blind receive their sight and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them. And blessed is he who takes no offense at me.” Matthew 11:2-6

“–and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.” Mark 6:34b

“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is thy faithfulness. ‘The Lord is my portion,’ says my soul, ‘therefore I will hope in him.'” Lamentations 3:22-24

“And he said to them, ‘Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.’ Matthew 4:19

Break Through

Mar16

Spring forward or break through? So many get the two confused. One thinks that going forward means that they are approved in the action they take. Yet they do not seem to notice, their footing has begun to shake.

I will allow you to find your path for a time without My guide; to test you and allow you to try your wings–your style. But there comes a time when, if we are not conferring on the path taken…

You may find I AM no longer there.

You didn’t notice at first, My absence, you were so busy forging your way, but then you found you became more and more tired come the end of your day. And you wondered…

Why?

Lord, why are you not helping me? Why do you not lead?

But where were you that morning when I met you and you barely glanced My way? Now it seems a wall has risen and its for break-through that you pray, and still more tired it seems you’ve become toward the end of your day.

My love, never did I leave you–you are never far from Me. I merely chose to give you the lead and allow you to find your way. In this you found that forward doesn’t always mean moving in the right direction, but the break-through you seek is right close at hand–with only a small correction.

Follow My Lead…

“For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding; he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk in integrity, guarding the paths of justice and preserving the way of his saints.” Proverbs 2:6-8

“Thy word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” Psalms 119:105

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” Romans 12:2

“Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good; love one another with brotherly affection; outdo one another in showing honor. Never flag in zeal, be aglow with the Spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in your hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality. Bless those who persecute, you; bless and do not curse them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly; never be conceited. Repay no one evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends upon you, live peaceably with all. Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God; for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” No, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals upon his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” Romans 12:9-21

“Thus says the Lord of hosts, Render true judgments, show kindness and mercy each to his brother, do not oppress the widow, the fatherless, the sojourner, or the poor; and let none of you devise evil against his brother in your heart.” Zechariah 7:9-10

“But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until the full day.” Proverbs 4:18

“For there shall be a sowing of peace and prosperity; the vine shall yield its fruit, and the ground shall give its increase, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things.” Zechariah 8:12

My Direction

Feb18

Mistakes are often made when one is too busy to stop and think…

Too busy to stop and seek…

Too busy.

My love encompasses all that you think or do–you always have a listening ear.

Stop and ask yourself

Is this what is right for me today?

Is this what the Lord would have me do?

If you do an ‘inward check’, the Holy Spirit will give you the confirmation to move forward in confidence or a warning to ‘check’ or stay.

Listen to My cues. I will guide you, much like a dance partner would guide you around the floor. You sense and feel the direction and move as one. So I would have you sense and feel My guidance–My direction; for we are one.

So much time is wasted–so much needless pain and regret from not heeding My direction for your life. Your days are filled with activities…

Actively seeking Me should be your daily activity!

“Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because of my enemies; make thy way straight before me.” Ps. 5:8

“But who can discern his errors? Clear thou me from hidden faults. Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me! Then I shall be blameless, and innocent of great transgression. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in they sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.” Ps. 29:12-14

“For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, set their minds on the things of the Spirit. To set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.” Rom. 8:5-6

“Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with sighs too deep for words. And he who searches the hearts of men knows what is the mind of the Spirit because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.” Rom. 8:26-27

“–But this is the man to whom I will look, he that is humble and contrite in spirit, and trembles at my word.” Is. 66:2b

Will You Come?

Feb12

The close and faithful will eat the good of the land. It is not by works that I measure a man’s faithfulness but by their communion with Me. It is the one who leans upon My breast to hear My heartbeat. He walks in step with Me and denies his own self for a moment of time with the Father. He shall see his heart’s desire fulfilled, for he has made Me the desire of his heart.

I will pour

And I will pour again–into his spirit…

My Truths
My Love and Affection
My Direction
My Secrets

I have room for another in My arms–Will you come?

Come Today

I Wait

Come

“Because he cleaves to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name. When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will rescue him and honor him.With long life I will satisfy him, and show him my salvation.” Ps. 91:14-16

“–If a man loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.” Jn. 14:23

“Nevertheless I am continually with thee; thou dost hold my right hand. Thou dost guide me with thy counsel, and afterward thou wilt receive me to glory. Whom have I in heaven but thee? And there is nothing upon earth that I desire besides thee. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion for ever. For lo, those who are far from thee shall perish; thou dost put an end to those who are false to thee. But for me it is good to be near God; I have made the Lord God my refuge, that I may tell of all thy works.” Ps. 73:23-28
