Let Jesus Carry Your Burdens

"Expect an answer, but don't plan the look of it."

Great are the mercies of the Lord; they are new every morning. His love and compassion pours out upon His children in multiplied measure. He delights in their victories. A great cloud of witnesses cheers them on.

"Take up your cross and follow Me," He says. "Lay the burdens of your day at My feet. Those are mine to carry for you. My burden is light and My yoke is easy. You were not created for heavy loads and burdens. Give them to Me. I, alone, am able to carry them."

"Meet Me in prayer to gain an understanding of the strategies needed for victory in each case. I know the way to victory in each case. Listen. Expect an answer, but don't plan the look of it. Trust Me. I am a loving father who would not give a serpent if you asked for a fish or a stone if you asked for bread. I am on your side. Is there anything greater than that - to know that you are not alone - to know your help is simply a prayer-cry away?"

"Take advantage of your sonship! Know what I have done for you and given to you. Unopened gifts are useless. You are an heir in My kingdom - family. The same privileges of Jesus' sonship belongs to you. Eat from My table. Call upon Me in the time of need. Delight to fellowship with Me as I delight to fellowship with you. I love you.

"Say it [He loves me] until you feel the thrill of this truth. Say it until you believe it and you can't help but smile. I. Love. You. I provided the perfect solution to the separation created in the garden of Eden. Look to Me. Look to Jesus. He is your way, your truth, and your life. Follow Him. He shows the way. Ask and you shall receive. Your are My great joy and My delight. (07/28/2018)

Beware! Fear Steals Your Faith

Act when prompted by the Lord.

Jesus said, "My sheep hear My voice..." John 10:27

"Why do you wait? Why do you wait? Why do you wait and not do what I say? Do you not trust Me? I've given you directions and you haven't acted upon those directions. You must trust Me. Move out even when fear screams warnings."

"The undoing of faith is fear. Do not fear! Trust and obey Me. If and when you are not sure, ask Me. I never withhold the answer to a sincere question. I respond."

"Do you listen and watch expecting My answer? Sometimes it is instantaneous; sometimes you must follow the promptings I give to get the answer. Aways, along any avenue you take, it requires a step of faith which may sometimes seem like a leap. It requires you to take action. You must act when I give the word. At that point, do not wait. Trust Me and follow My lead."

"Many of you have been aware of My directives, My promptings, but fear has locked you in place. Use My name and the authority of that name to break free from the fear that holds you captive. Replace it with faith. Use My words and My name to gain the victory over fear. Then move out in obedience into that which I have called you. (06/26/2018)

Accepting the Gift but not the Giver

"So much they miss out on."

Jesus said, "My sheep hear My voice..." John 10:27

"When there is grief in the hearts of men [mankind], they turn to Me. They seek My face and My helping hand. They call to Me and I answer, but they don't seek to know their rescue-er. They accept My help then walk away. They know intuitively of Me on the Spirit level, but they don't know Me as Father, Savior, and Provider of all their needs each and every day."

"So much they miss out on. They don't know the source of all the good in their lives. They wander around, lost and seeking, but don't realize that I stand knocking on their heart's door. Who will help them know? I need workers in My harvest. Will you do your part? Will you take the message of the Good News to those in need? (07/21/2018)

Yes, Lord, as your servant, I will do that for you. Show me how. Show Me the way. Impart to me the necessary skills and passion. Show me what I need to know. Teach me what I need to learn. It is my privilege to serve you.
