God said this to me one day. It is his heart for you too.
"I love you. This is the antidote. This is the one thing I would have you know this day. This is the solution to all your problems. This is the cry of my heart for you. Turn from all else. Turn to me, the one who loves you. I am pleased with my creation, My Little One. You are my pride and joy. You are my hope, my courage, My Little Brave One, in a world filled with pain and sorrow. Go forth in my kindness, for I am the solution to all of your problems. Look up. Hope in me. Look up and see the message blazed across the sky, 'I LOVE YOU!' Let this put the bounce in your step. Let this shine light and warmth into your heart. Let this go to the depths of your being and bring life to all the cold, dark areas. I AM the solution. Hope in me. Do not give up hope to the lies that would steal it from you. Receive my hope. Receive my courage. Receive my life. I love you. I spoke into the darkness and created light. Let me speak into your darkness. Choose to meditate on this one line, 'I love you.' This is the only medicine I have for you. Take it with a smile. I am not asking you to dip in a river 7 times, although you would gladly do it for me. I give you this one spoon of medicine. Receive it from me and all will be well. I AM the solution. I AM the answer to your problems. Hope in me. All is well. I love you."

You Are Radiant
This morning, this was revealed to me. I want to share it with you.
At times man will misunderstand you , reject you, tell you that you are annoying, someone to be ashamed of, a failure, an inconvenience . Man may not see your worth and say that you are unlovable and absolutely weird. Life might look scary and it might feel like all of your efforts get you nowhere. You might feel unblessed and even unvalued by God himself. Sometimes you might even wonder if existence is worth it and want to give up on life, because it seems like it would be better than all of this sorrow and disappointment. Life on earth can be like that.
So here is the solution: God's kingdom. You can have true life filled with love and joy right now, while you are still on earth and forever after. Here is the truth.
You are Beloved of God. You are Chosen by him to be his own. You are Radiant. Before time even began, God thought of you and laughed with joy in anticipation of your existence. He carved your name on his hand. Then he thought about what an awesome difference your very existence would make on this earth. He thought about how all around you people's lives would be better because you would be a blessing to them. When the time came for you, he carefully knit you together in your mother's womb. Then you were born. It was God's perfect timing for you. He loves to hear you talk and sing. He loves to call you his friend. He delights in you. Just seeing you makes him happy. He is proud to call you his own. You have nothing to be afraid of because no power on earth is greater than his love and nothing can separate you from his love.
This is true whether you believe it or not. So, I am proposing that you choose to believe it. Choose to dwell here and live in God's love and delight in you. People's attitude towards you is constantly changing. Your attitude towards yourself and life isn't dependable. Here is a truth that never changes and a Kingdom you can dwell in that will always be there for you. Go there now and live in God's love. It will change your LIFE forever. God bless you. Have an awesome day.

He Forgives All Your Sins
Praise the Lord, O my soul;
all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
Praise the Lord, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits-
who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,
who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
Psalm 103:1-5 NIV Bible

Change Your Life Forever
"Be still, and know that I am God." Psalm 46:10 NIV Bible
Years ago ago I went to hear a lady speak at a small local church. She was praying for people and teaching about the Holy Spirit. Each day she would pray that God would give us a fresh anointing of His Holy Spirit. As we sat there in the church, I would feel God's presences strongly come upon me. No words were needed. I was supposed to just be still and let God be God without any help from me. She said that we were "in the slow bake oven of the Holy Ghost." Having grown up a Lutheran, this was a foreign concept to me, but I loved it. At that time in my life I was in the midst of a pretty deep depression. God's presence was so healing and soothing. She said that it is a time to just receive from God. God was ministering to us in deep places we didn't even know about.
I have been praying like this on and off now for years. God has used it to bring me out of depression. So today, I wanted to recommend this to you. It is a wonderful prayer. Just be still in his presence, and ask him for a fresh anointing. At first when you begin, you my feel nothing, but God is faithful. He is ministering to you regardless of how you feel. Over time, you may or may not feel his presence.
Here is the next step that you can use right away once you start receiving from God. You can lay hands on others and ask God to give them a fresh anointing. He will hear your prayer and touch their lives. You don't have to have words. You don't have to know how to pray. God just touches them and brings healing and a deeper knowledge of God.
So, "be still and know that he is God."I guarantee that this will change your life forever.

God Loves Being With You
God is the greatest celebrity that ever walked the earth. He doesn't want you to just be part of his fan club. He wants you to be one of his best friends. You always have a back stage pass to all of his performances. You are not the unpopular one. He delights in you. He loves hanging out with you. He loves to have you by his side.
"Take heart, little ones. I care for you. The world will tell you all sorts of things. Be of good courage, I have overcome the world. Don't be afraid of the ones that would accuse you and tell you that you don't measure up. Come to me on bended knee and seek my face. I love being with you. You bring me great joy. Come follow me, and I will make you a fisher of men. You don't have to do this yourself. You don't have to feel inferior to those that look so successful. Follow me. I will show you the way. I will make you great in my kingdom. All other greatness is a farce. Come follow me. I beg you, come follow me. I will show you the way. You don't have to figure this out yourself. I will lead you. You will be amazed at your progress. You must keep your eyes on me and not on what the world is doing. Remember, I have overcome the world. You are from a different realm. I will not leave you behind. I will not give up on you. You are mine. I delight in you."

Come Forth Church!
This morning, while worshiping, I sensed that I am not alone. All around the world people are rising, as if from the grave. I want to speak this out. I want to declare it. God is calling his people to come forth, just like he called Lazarus.
"Come forth, little ones come forth, I have called you from this grave. Be renewed in my love."
God is renewing his children. I saw a picture of us swimming to the top of a deep body of water. We didn't stop there. We kept going. We rose, as if from the dead. We rose above this oppression. We rose above shame and the lies of the enemy. As we rose we noticed that we were new. We were like innocent, sweet, happy children. We saw everything with new eyes. We had hope and expectation.We knew love. We knew our innocence that we have received from Jesus. We were high fiving each other and laughing. I don't think this is about the future, It is now. Come forth church!

You are Winning!
"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written,
'For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.' No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:35-39 NIV Bible
Last night I was really aware of things like unanswered prayers, difficult marriages, depression, unemployment, diseases, and earthquakes. There is so much suffering and so many disappointments. I guess I pondered this because some of the most Godly people I know are going through some of the hardest trials.
I remember when Job was losing everything, some of his friends had decided that it must be because Job did something wrong. If he would only get his act together, then everything would be O.K. Wow, they were so wrong! The devil specifically chose to pick on Job because he was so Godly.
So let's look at the facts and go from there. Suffering,temptation,disappointment, and even death are a reality no matter who you are. When I pondered this, a scripture came to mind, "We are more than conquerors through him who loved us."
Corey Ten Boom lived in a concentration camp. People she loved died. Yet, she came out loving God and knowing she is his beloved. Job, in his worst pain declared, "I know that my redeemer lives." Stephen, when being stoned, could look up and see the glory of God and Jesus.
We are victorious because we can go through all of this, sheltered in God's love. These things cannot conquer us. God's kingdom is here now. We are not of this world. Jesus said, "In this world you will have trouble. But take heart, I have overcome the world" (John 16:33) God is calling us above the suffering. He is calling us to a place of hope and victory. You can't keep a good man down. God is winning and since we are on his team, we are winners. Look up. Hope in God. Know that your redeemer lives. You are more than a conqueror.
Here is a wonderful song that I heard on the radio that will be an encouragement to you.
