Are you Disappointed?

Are you trusting your Heavenly Father?

"What level of trust do you have in Me, your loving, generous, Heavenly Father?"

"Deep, crushing disappointment cannot overwhelm you when you are trusting Me, your Lord, to the uttermost. Have I not proven Myself faithful to you when you remember the many ways I have brought you through past challenges and storms? Did I not arrive at your side to help you overcome the wind and waves?"

"My love for you remains the same. I am here for you. I am ready, willing, and able to bring you through again, and yet, again. Keep a simple trust in Me."

"I have plans that are intricate and multifaceted. You cannot comprehend them. Your best solution is to resolve to trust Me and not to fear. Watch and wait, and you will see My plans fulfilled. I love you, Child. I am for you. I am your loving Heavenly Father waiting for every chance to bless you. Could you see deeper and further, you would even see the reason to rejoice. Simply trust when you cannot see." (01/08/2025)

To give a bit of context, I was extremely disappointed with a situation where I was not considered as an option for the need. I was hurt prompting the enemy to pour into the wound his twisted, lying ideas causing a downward spiral. When I finally brought the issue to the Lord, He responded kindly and firmly. The bottom line concerned my trust in His goodness and control of my life and times. The more I pondered His words the more peace I experienced. I even reached the point of rejoicing and resting in His love and wisdom. Shortly afterward, He drove His point home as I read a message in the devotional God Calling for Januray 8th. It had the same basic message! Trust Him more! Friend, God does hear. He does respond. He lovingly gives wisdom and solutions when we make the effort to involve Him in our disappointing issues. He is a good Father! Consider leaving a comment if His message has impacted your attitude about your disappointments. Are you trusting Him to the point of peacefulness?

Grace and Favor

"See the opportunities I place before you."

"In the days of Noah, the sins of the people became a strench in My nostrils. I could no longer allow sin to prosper in the lives of the people. I brought the flood to cleanse the world that I had created. Noah's family received My grace and favor. They rode out the storm in the palm of My hand - safe and secure, provided for. I long to extend My grace and favor upon you, upon My children. I send angels to assist and minister to your needs and to their needs. I am a good, Heavenly Father who sees, hears, and attends to My children."

"Never doubt My love. Turn to Me. I am here - waiting, expecting, planning on your behalf. Know that I love you and will use you in these last days to impact your sphere with the Gospel of My love. Take it to heart, and see the opportunities I place before you. Lean into Me, Child. I love you." (01/03/2025)

Learning To Hear

My sheep learn to hear My voice.

“My sheep hear My voice. Often, they don’t know that it is My voice and dismiss the direction or guidance I supply. Each of you must learn to recognize My voice. Remember that learning is a process. Know that each individual learns differently. Some slower. Some faster. Some by trial and error. Some by being in the continual presence of the Teacher.”

“It is My will that My sheep can identify My voice. The closer you follow the better you hear. My words are often in a still, small voice. Ask Me for ears to hear and a heart to understand. Trust and faith must work side by side. I will never make it hard for you to hear My voice. Unbelief will steal your ability to hear as will listening to the lies of the devil. Beware of the unfamiliar voice. Know Me and you will know the imposter when he attempts to call you from the righteous way.”

“The Holy Spirit is your help. He will alert you to the tricks of the enemy. Again, unbelief will steal away your warning, your guidance. As an earthly father protects and stands ready to intervene, so does your Heavenly Father. I am for you, not against you. I will help you learn to listen well and to hear My voice. It is your destiny. I have declared it so. Learn to listen. Learn to discern. Learn to trust. I have spoken.” (12/28/2024)

To be transparent and authentic, I have been apprehensive to post this message. It seemed potentially

"too far out there". So, I thought I would wait til His peace stepped in. The message during Sunday's gathering helped me see the importance of posting it. Please allow the Lord to give you the needed direction to walk in obedience and victory concerning His will as you lean in learning to listen.
