Dance With Me

Remember
I wrote the dance
I know it perfectly
Dance with Me

You are distracted about many things
We will dance through them
Tell Me what is clouding your mind
Do it as an offering of thanksgiving
a sacrifice of praise
Don't be faithless any longer
Believe!

You still doubt Me
You doubt that I want to do amazing things in your life

Your body is mine
It is My place to dwell
You do not belong to yourself
I paid the highest price for you
It is not a suggestion dear one
It is a command
You MUST honor Me with your body

It takes faith to live the way I want you to live
I have provided all you need
It can  be done

Your faith in Me gives sight to faith
It makes the invisible visible

In order for any of this to take place
your eyes must be off yourself

Your faith and obedience will affect
not only a handful of people
but multitudes

You belong to a different Kingdom

My Peace Is Always Available

Kingdom living
It is living completely by My power
My peace is always available to you
Fear drowns it out

It is not the situation
It is not the circumstances
that take away your peace
It is the way you respond to them

Everyday you are being trained
either in one direction
or the other
This training takes place by the thoughts you think
by the words you say
by the actions you take
and by the deeds you do

Abide in Me
Trust Me
Dwell on Me
I will influence your thoughts
I will influence your words
I will influence your actions
I will influence your deeds

When you find yourself straying from Me
give thanks
praise Me
worship Me
This will help you get back on track with Me

Giving Me thanks and praise
helps remove pride
which paralyzes you

Knowing Me Will Change How You Do Life

Remember that I am working on everyone

Be kind in your thoughts toward others

Lift them up in prayer

For strength

For growth

I am the one who gives patience

I am the one who gives encouragement

I am training you to be understanding

Ask Me to show you what is going on within you

Then ask Me for what it is that is at a deficit

This will train you to assess the need

then ask for the correct solution

I will provide what is needed

then you will be victorious

I want you to learn what your need is

then ask specifically for what is needed

I want you to trust Me in your everyday moments

Your relationship with Me

must be so intimate

that it changes the way you do life

Any physical task I give you

is an opportunity 

to work on the spiritual development 

of your soul

Obstacles Are Your Teachers

I don't want you to worry about the weather beloved
Don't worry about if the storm is about to come
You are with Me
If it is raining
I have an umbrella
If it is flooding
I have a boat
If it is a tornado
I have a shelter
I am prepared
I will guide you through any storm I have allowed
Look not to the storm but how I will show Myself to you in it

I told you I will teach you to dance with Me
around
on top
through
the obstacles
Expect the obstacles
They are supposed to be there
They are planned into the choreography
Do not be surprised by them
They are your teachers
Embrace them
They lead you to deeper fellowship with Me

I am the light
As the world grows darker in the days to come
Do not try to figure out the why
Instead know Me better
I want you to learn to relax in My presence

Like a child learning to swim
don't fight Me
Let Me swirl you through the water
I won't let go
You have your own ideas of what is trouble and what is safe
I want to train your eyes
so you can see and understand
reality from the shadow

I will teach you joy beloved
I will teach you thankfulness

I Desire To Be Known By You

In order to trust Me
you must surrender all
Yet to surrender all
you must trust Me

This is why you must never forget who I am
My way is perfect

I am the one
who arms you with strength
I am the one
who makes your way perfect

I train your hands for battle

Not only is it your desire to know Me
it is My desire to be known by you

I am working even in the smallest of details
Do not allow yourself
to be discouraged by the training
I use everything

Nothing that comes into your path
is wasted or unplanned
It all has purpose

I will bring our relationship together
I will cause it to grow deeper
Press on beloved
I am doing a work
I am waking you up
I will clothe you with My presence

Abide In Me

Practice My presence
I will give you wisdom
Everything comes from knowing Me
Everything comes from abiding in Me

I want you to trust Me so deeply
that you are able to see the beauty in the storm
My power in the midst of the giants

I want you to trust Me
I want you to fear Me so deeply
that when trial or calamity strikes
your first thought is
"Lord, I adore You"
not
"what are You doing?!"

I want you to trust Me so completely
that your vision is clear
not based on what you see
but Who I am

I want you to be so much a part of Me
that we cannot be separated

Ask yourself
do you trust that whatever comes your way today
I have planned long ago?

Be excited for what I have in store for you today

Everyone who comes across your path today
has been placed there by Me
Be ready for Me to use you in their lives
Be ready for Me to use them in yours
I am the one doing the work in you
I make you holy
I rend you fruitful

I want you to learn to live in the spiritual realm
You belong to My kingdom
I am trustworthy

I want your body as a sacrifice
a living and Holy sacrifice
Worship Me in body, soul and mind
I will and even now am
transforming you
by changing the way you think
My will for you is good

Trust Me

Trust Me TODAY

Trust Me Today
Be thankful for the thorns and thistles
I use them in your life
I want nothing to take My place
as God in your life
I am preparing you to do My will
I want you to be prepared
I want to develop in you
a listening heart
I want your faith to grow stronger
I want you to be fully convinced
that I am able to do
what I have promised
I want you to believe
I am who I say I am
I want you to be
completely under My control
I want you to know My heart
Surrender yourself to Me
I want complete dependence
If I, the Son
depended on the Father
so that I did nothing on My own
How much more should you
Everything should be brought before Me
Every plan
every deed
every thought
should be brought before Me
Seek My wisdom
Walk with Me
