WORD OF GOD

Luke 17:6

If you have faith even the size of a mustard seed,
you may say to this tree: 'Be uprooted and plant
yourself in the sea,' and it will obey you.


---- Mine,

If you truly desire to  see the power of God at work you must exercise faith Faith even the size of a mustard seed has power to move mountains. When you pray have this attitude in you, believe that all that you ask for will be granted to you for the Father delights in giving good things to those who ask Him. Is there anything you need approach the throne of mercy with a spirit of expectant faith and you will watch the mighty hand of God move mountains. Despite all the miracles I worked people continued to be hesitant in believing that I was the Eternal Son of God. He is your Father too because you are in Me and I in you.  

Ask for wisdom, for understanding, for grace to be obedient to the will of My Father. Ask for ears that hear and eyes  that see all that God has done for you.

WORD OF GOD

Ezekiel 47:12

Near the river on both banks,there will be all kinds of fruit trees,with foliage that will not wither; and fruit that will never fail; each month they will bear a fresh crop, because the water comes from the temple. The
fruit will be good to eat and the leaves will be used for healing.

---- Mine,

This is my assurance to you today. I will plant you beside the everlasting steams of life giving water that flows from My Side and I will ensure that you put down roots deep in Me.I will give you every grace and blessing you need through My Holy Spirit who lives in you. You will bear fruit in abundance and always. No one who approaches you will go away unsatisfied for they will feast on the bounty that I provide through you. Remain in Me and let My Words remain in you and you will find rest for your soul. Do not be disturbed do not be anxious for anything but bring your needs to Me in supplication and thanksgiving and I Your God will hear you before the words have left your lips. Pray constantly and be filled with My Peace, My Presence, and My Love, always. Believe and all that you ask for in faith is Yours. Do you have the courage to believe in all My promises ---- Mine?

WORD OF GOD

Baruch 4:30

Take courage, He who has named you will console you.

---- Mine,

What does My Word say about your name? It says that I have carved your name on the palms of my hand because you are precious in my sight. Why are you discouraged? Why are you down hearted? Do you not know that I the Lord your God saves you? I am your Deliverer, have confidence in My Word no one who has put their trust in Me has ever been disappointed.

Be of good cheer ---- My Own, I have conquered and triumphed over the world. The victory belongs to all who believe in Me; for all who believe in the Name of the only Son of God are saved.

WORD OF GOD

Isaiah 66:13

As a son is comforted by his mother,
so will I comfort you.

---- Mine,

As a son is comforted by his mother,  by this you can know the heart of God. He love encompasses the love of both father an mother and loves more tenderly than any earthly mother ever could. God loves you, He cares for you, He lifts you up when you are weary, He wipes away your tears when you are sad. He feeds you with the finest wheat and the sweetest honey. He bandages you wounds, He heals you of your sins. He gives you grace to repent of your sins and through grace alone you are able to resolve to sin no more.  You lack no good gift because God the Father Himself ensures that you lack nothing. Trust Him with all your heart and He will grant you every desire of your heart for He is God and not man.

WORD OF GOD

Romans 14:17

The Kingdom of God is not a matter of food or drink,
it is justice, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

--- Mine,

Justice, peace, and joy note the order and see for yourself the  results of the first action Are you restless, are you disturbed, when you examine your life now what is your honest opinion of your life in the here an now. If peace is lacking it is because peace is the fruit of justice if you are honest with yourself and can admit before God  that peace is absent examine  with the help of My Holy Spirit whether or not your have been just in your words and your deeds with the people who touch your life daily Your colleagues at work, the stranger who for a brief moment comes into your life, the stranger is the one to whom we ought to be kind and gentle for as the Scripture tells you that some have entertained angels unknowingly.

 If you are harsh, critical, unkind, rude, in your words if this is habitual to your nature and has been something you have done for as long as you can remember and you also know that you are without peace, it also follows that you are without joy. Resolve this day to check your tongue, check the rude words, check the harsh language that check the prejudice of your actions because people belong to a different country, a different stage speak a different language and resolve in this Season of Lent to fast from such injustice.

It will difficult hard and painful for this has been a way of life for us until now. This will be hard if not impossible without the help of grace and the Holy Spirit Ask for help and you will receive it. This is where giving up the things you like to eat and drink; deny yourself things that you truly like like fasting from watching TV, movies, chocolates, eating between meals; these small ways in which you deny your flesh provide the grace your need to tackle the mountains that you are unable to shift. When you deny the craving of the flesh you are able to exercise discipline over your spirit. You will grow aware of your negative thoughts and your negative speech and negative actions that are so deeply embedded in you that until now you did not even though they existed. With awareness comes the desire to see yourself as you are and to realise that you need to change. Once you are honestly striving to be kinder and gentler, to check the desire to be confrontational, then you will find the stress seeping out of your spirit, the tensions and the anxiety will give way to peace and the greater the peace the greater the joy that will flood your soul and keep you healthy in mind body and spirit.

WORD OF GOD

Matthew 6:26

Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 

---- Mine,

Lift up your eyes take your gaze away from the world and from  yourself and look around you at creation. All that lives is sustained by the Word of God and the power of God. Everything that is beautiful in creation has been designed by the Creator simply to give you pleasure. The flowers in the field, the birds in the air, rivers, mountains, sunrises and sunsets are My Father's way of drawing you out of yourself to feast your senses on His marvel so you can praise and glorify Him just as creation does. Add your voice to the never ending hymn of praise and worship that goes up to God for praise is fitting for hearts that love Him.

WORD OF GOD

Song of Songs       4:12

You are a garden enclosed,
my sister, my bride;
a spring enclosed, a sealed fountain.


---- Mine,

Once again my own little nothing, I wish to remind you who you are  and how greatly you matter to Me. Do not be troubled, or anxious about anything but in all things bring your prayers and petitions before Me and I the Lord your God will answer you. Have I not assured you that I am your shelter and your refuge? I am your shade in the noon day sun and your lamp that illumines your feet at night. You are My sister, My bride, My own, I have claimed you for myself. You are all Mine in time and in eternity. Be still my poor little creature  and allow Me, the God of love, to live move and act in you. Fear nothing lift up your head and walk with confidence for you are a child of the Most High and co-heir with Me to the Kingdom - You are Mine.

WORD OF GOD

Sirach 11:3

The bee is one of the smallest winged insects
but she excels in the exquisite sweetness of her honey.


---- Mine,

Take these words to heart today. Think on them allow its meaning to permeate your being. You call yourself God's little nothing. It isn't enough to just be little it is also important to allow the goodness of God to imbue you with His goodness, holiness, and perfection. Consider the bee who toils tirelessly with no thought of self and the result of all its striving is delightful. It hovers from flower to flower collecting nectar and while she does so she encourages growth through the tiny little pollen grains she picks up and leaves on  every little flower she visits although that is not it's intention. Her work is to make honey yet she is oblivious of the other work she does that is so productive. So must it be with you as you go about your daily work. Receive the good things from every one you encounter and share that goodness so that unknown to you all may produce a rich growth and a good harvest for the glory of God. 

WORD OF GOD

Mark 1:35

Very early in the morning, before daylight,
Jesus went off to a lonely place where he prayed.

---- Mine,

It pleases Me that you wake up before dawn every morning to spend an hour with Me. I know that there are times you find it hard but you make the effort anyway. I will give you times of refreshing. I will bless you and those who are closest to your heart. I will hear you when you pray and I will grant you all that your heart desires; especially the spiritual blessing that you ask for in prayer for those you love. Be still and know that I am God, is anything too difficult for Me ---- Mine?

WORD OF GOD

John 12:24

Truly, I say to you, unless the grain of wheat
falls to the earth and dies, it remains alone;
but if it dies, it produces much fruit.


---- Mine,

Listen carefully to what I say to you. Know yourself, shed the powerful light of truth on your soul and allow the Spirit to reveal to you all those areas in your life that need correction. Root out the weeds of indiscipline, self gratification, spiritual lethargy, this is not the time for sleeping. Lent is an opportunity for self reflection and self examination.  Give the Holy Spirit free rein to lead you to the truth about yourself and then with the help of grace be ruthless as you put to death all that is not of the Kingdom. If you wish to be Mine completely be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect. It is time ---- Mine, no more excuses; this is the call to action, to change, to conversion.

WORD OF GOD

John 8:47A

He who is of God hears the words of God.

---- Mine,

You belong to  Me and so are counted among those who hear My words and keep them. The important thing to always keep in mind lil one is that the Kingdom of God belongs to you and to all who believe in Me. I am the Bread of Life, I am the Eternal Word of the Father that issued forth from Him. I AM God from God, Light from Light, True God from True God, begotten not made consubstantial with the Father in whom all things were made. I am of the Father  I always was and I shall always be. Pay close attention to My Word in Scripture. Ask My Spirit for help to understand and interpret. No good thing is withheld from those who believe. Because You believe in Me you are light and salt. You are called to shed  this light wherever you are and to give savor to the world. The Word of God lives and reigns in You and in all who believe for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to you. 

WORD OF GOD

Matthew 13:15-16

If they were to see with their eyes, hear with their ears and understand with their heart, they would turn back and I would heal them.
But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears, because they hear.

---- Mine,

If the whole world believed then the Kingdom of Heaven would truly be among you but it prefers to wallow in its sins. Those of the world  prefer to live a life  of the senses and even through they are sated and dull, they continue to look to  the things of the flesh to experience the momentary thrills that are gone quicker than a flash of lightning. But you ---- Mine, belong to the Spirit, yes you are weak, prone to sin, you are as you call yourself, God's lil nuthin, yes my little one, my own, take heart for you do have eyes that see and ears that hear and so are blessed in the sight of My Father. Continue to keep your gaze on the things that are above and I will lead you in safety home to Me.

WORD OF GOD

Matthew 20:18-19


“See, we are going to Jerusalem.
There, the Son of Man will be betrayed
to the chief priests
and the teachers of the law;
and they will condemn him to death.
They will hand him over to the foreigners,
who will mock him, scourge him and crucify him.
But he will be raised to life on the third day.”

---- Mine,

As you enter into this sacred time in the Church's calendar I want you to dedicate these days into truly entering into the mystery of My passion and death so you will have a little taste of its fruit when you celebrate the feast of Easter.  

The verses begin with the word 'see', resolve to really focus your attention on this particular period of My life as the Son of Man goes to Jerusalem. Remain with Mary, My Mother at the foot of the Cross as goes into the pangs of labor a second time and gives birth to My Body the Church. 

The people in authority the Chief Priests and the teachers of the law rejected Me and gave Me up to the gentiles making them complicit in the dastardly act carried out by  foreigners who carried out the evil act of Deicide. They along with My own people band together to mock Me and spit on Me.  I will be scourged until My flesh is torn into purple ribbons hanging from My Body, they will drag me up the hill of Calvary bearing the Wood of the Cross that will become the Altar of Sacrifice and provide the wood to be burned consuming Me whole in a most bloody and horrific sacrifice.  I will give up Myself entirely to the Father in expiation for your sins and those of the whole world.

Take no part of the journey with Me for granted; meditate on, contemplate, and allow the experience to form and shape you enabling you to become a better, more committed disciple. Walk with Me on this journey, keep Me company, stay at the foot of the Cross with Mary My Mother, the disciple whom I loved, and the woman Mary of Magdala who understood the meaning of love because of her many sins that were forgiven. Stay close to Me and My Spirit will remain in you.

WORD OF GOD

Tobit 5:7-11

ASH WEDNESDAY

Give alms from your possessions to those who act justly and do good. Do not be grudging when you give alms. Do not turn away your face from anyone who is poor so that God may not turn away his face from you. Give alms in proportion to the amount you have; if you have little, do not be afraid to give alms according to the little you have. In this way you are storing up treasure against the day of tribulation, because almsgiving frees us from death and keeps us from wandering in the darkness. For, in fact, almsgiving is, for the one who practices it, a precious treasure in the eyes of God.

---- Mine, 

In short what I ask of you this season of Lent is to give wholeheartedly, give generously, give promptly, give joyfully, and you be storing for yourself treasures in the Kingdom of God.  Give and you will receive in return in full measure, shaken together, pressed down and overflowing. Nothing pleases me better than a heart that strives unceasingly to be like My Own. 

WORD OF GOD

Joel 2:12-13

Yahweh says, “Yet even now,
return to me with your whole heart;
with fasting, weeping and mourning.
Rend your heart, not your garment.
Return to Yahweh, your God—gracious

and compassionate.”

---- Mine,

During this season of Lent I desire that you examine yourself in all honesty and with My help and the help of My Spirit identify those areas, those inclinations, those weaknesses that need to be rooted out. Unless you know what they are you will overlook them, and they will cause you to stumble, and they will impede your progress in your journey to the Kingdom. Don't be discouraged or disappointed and don't become overwhelmed or fainthearted; for I am with you to support you and assist you to grow in grace as you cultivate the virtues and and become  a channel of My love and My peace.

WORD OF GOD

Job 17:20

Now my prayer has gone up to God
as I poured out my tears before him.


---- Mine,

I hear all, I see all and I always answer. Believe  that all you have asked for in prayer has been granted to you. Do not dwell on the past it will only weigh you down and stunt your growth; the past is only good in so far as you know where your weaknesses lie and to bring them to Me in prayer. Once you are forgiven, once you cast yourself in the ocean of My mercy, know that you are healed and strengthened. Move on. Pray constantly. Wait on Me and the Holy Spirit before you do anything. Do not be hasty, do not let your emotions dictate your actions this is when you  become insensitive and overbearing lacking humility. Wait on Me and let My Spirit fill you, lead you, and guide you. Take heart all is well I am here with you now and always.

WORD OF GOD

Psalm 46:11A

Be still, know that I am God.


---- Mine,

Be  still, calm your soul, let go of all thoughts save this, that I am God. Quiet your soul and fix your interior gaze on Me. I am the Lord who lay down His life for you, I have paid the ransom for your soul redeeming you for Myself. No longer must you choose the path that leads to your separation from Me for you are Mine. A price was paid that you cannot repay but you are free to choose to stay or go. If you stay, the God of all joy  to whom you belong will remain with you always for I will never forsake you but will keep you safe in the place that is reserved just for you. Lay claim on Me as I have laid claim on you. Let My peace, love, and joy encompass you, fill you and overflow from you into the world. All I have is yours and you are Mine. 

WORD OF GOD

Ruth 3:11

Have no fear, my daughter;
I will do for you all that you ask.


---- Mine, 

Have no fear. Look to Me and let your face be radiant for the God of heaven and earth delights in making His home in you. All that you ask for in faith it pleases Me to  give you. Heed My Word to you this day and let My reassurance fill your being and fill you with My peace. Be anxious for nothing but always and everywhere make your needs known to Me and I, will give you every joy, grace, blessing, and good thing that your heart can hold. All that My Father has is Mine  and I give all to whoever I please. Rejoice ---- Mine, it pleases Me to give you the Kingdom. Be strong, have courage, every sigh, every prayer has reached My ears and I have answered even before the words left your lips. Believe and be content. 

WORD OF GOD

Matthew 7:7; 17:7B

Ask, and you will receive;
seek, and you will find;
knock, and the door will be opened.

Stand up, do not be afraid.

---- Mine,

Let go of all your anxieties, worries, all that troubles you causing you to lose your peace. O you of little faith, do you not know that it pleases the Father to give you the Kingdom of Heaven. Why do you allow yourself to be cast down when the God of heaven and earth loves you, is with you, assures you of His constant love and protection, who never leaves you or forsakes you and assures you that He will be with you always until th e end of time? Trust in Me, ---- Mine, it is unworthy of one who is so greatly loved to go about moaning and sighing when the Lord of heaven and earth calls you His own, Let go beloved, give Me take control. Trust Me!

WORD OF GOD

Ezekiel 37:26-27

I shall establish a Covenant of peace with them, 
an everlasting Covenant. 
I shall settle them; and they will increase; 
and I shall put my Sanctuary in their midst forever.
I shall make my home at their side;

I shall be their God and they will be my people.


---- Mine,
I have made a Covenant with you and it is one that is eternal. This is why I tell you do not worry or be anxious for anything but with prayers and supplications make your needs known to Me, and I assure you that I will hear and answer you. I am with you always. I hear every sigh. I am aware of every thought, every desire, I listen to your prayers for those you love those nearest and dearest to you. Do not fret little one, it pleases My Father to make Our home in you.  Do not be disappointed and downcast because your hopes for them are not realized. Believe that the plans that we have for your children are far better than any you have for them. Remember, My promise I am God, your God, and I have claimed you and yours for Myself eternally. Believe, believe, believe.

WORD OF GOD

Isaiah 66:13

As a son comforted by his mother,
so will I comfort you.

---- My Own,

Let My Word today console you and give you courage when you are weak and hope dims. Know that My love is constant, unwavering, infinite boundless, and greater than you could ever fathom. More tender than the love of a mother for her only child is My love for you. Come, rest in Me and draw strength and comfort from the One who is pledged to you in time and eternity.

WORD OF GOD

Matthew 19:21

If you wish to be perfect, go, 
sell all that you possess, 
and give the money to the poor; 
and you will have treasure in heaven. 
Then come back and follow me.

---- My Own,,

What I ask of you this day is detachment from all created things. Do not cling to the things that pass away rather, hold on to the things that are eternal. Be filled with grace and you will find it easy to exercise the virtues that I heap on you. I command you to holiness and perfection and this is a life long striving which ceases only when time for you shall be no more. You are called to holiness and perfection just as your Father is holy and perfect. Remember nothing unclean can enter God's presence and if you desire to someday see God face to face, strive moment by moment to be all that God has called you to be, a child of the Father and heir to His Kingdom

WORD OF GOD

1 Kings 1:5

Ask what you want me to give you.

---- Mine,

What would you like Me to give you? Ask and you will receive. Seek what it is that your heart most longs for and you will find. Knock and the door will be opened to you. What it is that you want most of all? What does your whole being long for, yearn for ---- My Own? Ask and it is yours. Who or what do you believe will satisfy every one of your heart's desires?  Is it Me you ask for? Is it Me you long for? Don't you know that even before you speak the Father knows and has granted you your heart's desire? I too want what you yearn for.  Yes, I want to be all yours as you are Mine. Love Me as I love you. I lay down My life for you so you could live in Me always.  

WORD OF GOD

Mark 10:43-44

Whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you shall make himself slave of all.

---- Mine, T
o serve is the highest calling of all but one must serve in love and humility. Your service must not be half hearted begrudging, selfish, hoping to gain something either spiritual or temporal. One serves in imitation of Me, I came to serve and the servant is not greater than the Master. One can be at the service of others in little ways by listening and easing another's loneliness by being available. There are plenty of opportunities to serve each day and if you make use of them, you will find that all you are called to do each day can be used an an opportunity to lay your life down in service of the other. Check the hasty word, hold yourself back from making a hasty judgment, praise rather than find fault, lift up instead of tearing down. Service offered with a moan and groan is no service at all. Ask the Holy Spirit and He will help you grow in humility and love then the giving of yourself will become a joy.
