My beloved
I have specifically chosen you.
Your home is to be My temple
Your body is to be My sanctuary
I will give you strength
I will do the work through you
I will make you courageous
I will remove the fear and discouragement
You must trust Me
hand it all over to Me
I will not fail you
nor will I forsake you
I will complete My temple
and it will be done to perfection
You are precious to Me
Listen carefully
Anytime
All the time
Talk with Me about everything
Every breath
Every step
Every thought
must have Me in it
because I am in it all
To not be mindful of Me
is to ignore Me
because I am there
Give Me your emotions
allow Me to control your body language
allow me to control your countenance
I will
"God saved you by His grace when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the things he planned for us long ago. (Eph2:8-10) And I am certain that God who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns. (Phil1:6)

You Set The Tone
Join Me in Kingdom living
You can set the tone of the day for your family
Something that seems simple
feeding them first thing
It is an opportunity for you to feed them physically
It is an opportunity for you to feed them spiritually
You must speak of Me
Prayer will set them on the right path
Prayer will start them out with the right attitude
It is a way for you to help them dress for battle
The battle that lies ahead of them for that day
Dark days are ahead
Make use of your time in the light
Don't miss this blessing I have given you
Exercise self control
Be faithful in everything you do
I am about to do something new
Be ready for it
The more you train with Me
to bring peace
to bring order
to bring structure to your home
the safer it will feel
When your men feel safe and secure at home
they will be able take steps of faith
they will be able to be bold
I want to use you as a family unit to bring light to a dark world.

Do Not Take Prayer Lightly
Don't just babble
You must listen for My voice
This means being quiet enough to hear Me speak
Just because you have talked to Me about something
doesn't mean I have answered it
You have not mastered the art of listening to My voice
You need to devote time alone with Me to hear
There is so much I want to tell you
Do not take prayer lightly
I want you to be so developed in your communication with Me
that you are able to be alone with Me in the midst of a crowd
I want you constantly in My presence
Abide in Me
You should always be talking with Me
But
you must also always be listening at the same time

Talk With ME While You Talk To Others
Practice bringing Me into your conversations
Include Me when you speak with others
Do this if they do not know Me
Do this especially if they do know Me
Make it such a habit
that you recognize it is missing soon after you start
Then stop and talk to Me
before the entire conversation is over
Not only does this practice set your heart and mind on Me
It includes Me in the fellowship
It places a shield of protection around you
It is a warning cry to the enemy to say that I have been invited
It will protect the conversation from misunderstanding
It will protect from offense
It will protect from miscommunication and pride
It will keep away confusion
It will stop judgement
These lead to slander and gossip
My voice will be clearly heard
You will be posturing your heart and mind before Me
You will be able to receive
answers
wisdom
insights
that you would otherwise not discern

There Is Time For ME
There is always time
Time to stop
Time to be quiet before Me
There is always time to wait in prayer
To wait for My will to be revealed
Your enemy has created a false sense of urgency
Rushing you where decisions are concerned
He wants you to plow ahead
The lie is that you must act now
There is no time to ponder
No time to think
No time to think of consequences
No time to think of other ways
No time to think of other solutions
No time to think that a single decision
Affects other people
Go - Go - Go
Before you know it
You are doing his will
There is no hurry
I do not want you reacting
Discernment is the art of listening to Me
I rarely speak audibly
Perceive Me
I am otherwise invisible
You must know Me to hear Me
Even among brothers and sisters
you must not fall into the trap
Don't be distracted by "good" things
So busy doing "good" things
You will not have time to hear Me
You will not know nor obey My will
There is always time for Me
You must choose Me
Deliberately take the time to listen
Deliberately take the time to hear
Deliberately take the time to wait
Make time for Me

Don't Focus On The Shadows
There will be plenty of shadows
for I am the light
My light shines in you
Anytime there is light there are shadows
Don't focus on the shadow
Focus on Me
I am the one who keeps you
I will fill your heart with joy
My strength is never too small
Don't worry so much about tripping
Be quick to get up
You need My wisdom always
Ask Me for it
Otherwise
your automatic tendency
is to use your own wisdom
I am ready and waiting to give generously
I will not hold back
The act of asking for what you need
helps you to realize your need
it helps you realize your dependence
It is humbling your self before Me
It helps you to stop
so that you seek My will
instead of automatically going forward
When you ask
be ready to do what I tell you
Remember
I am always at work
There are no simple ordinary days
They are all assigned
They are never repeated
They cannot be reset
When you learn to view each day
as specifically hand crafted by Me
you will live differently
Don't allow yourself to be lulled to sleep
when the battle is raging
Abide in Me
Then you will see as I see
You will be ready to dance where I lead you
You will be amazed at what I am doing
