Sidetracked and Distracted

Posted on July 15, 2022 by Deborah

Sidetracked and distracted

Lord, I got sidetracked and distracted again. Also it seems I pray the same prayers and sing the same songs over and over. Meanwhile, I’m working so hard to get all this “to do” list done. But I can’t seem to finish it. Help me find Your will.

Meanwhile I’ve tried to work this program successfully. But occasionally, I messed up and fell on my face. Sometimes I fell in the feeding trough, only to emerge bloated and defeated. Help me find Your will.

Lord, it seems like it’s been a long time since I was overwhelmed by Your Presence. I’ve left You out, because everything else has me sidetracked and distracted.

Can You help me overcome this confusion and live a victorious life, full of Your Presence with joy and peace? Lord, I have no answers. And it seems I’m always busy, too busy for any joy in my life.

My Child, seek My voice. Seek My Presence for I am your answer. No program can replace My power in your life. But as you come to Me, I will help you. Because it’s always been My intent to give you victory.

Child, I want you totally dependent on Me. Surrender your will and allow Me to guide your every step, your every word, and your every bite. Therein, you will have your victory.

Lord, I have so many dreams, thoughts, and plans. Because I get sidetracked and distracted, none are completed. I just go through my day busy as I can be. So busy, busy all the time. How can I get it all done?

First of all, My Child, focus on Me, seek My voice and seek My will for every moment of your day. Remember when you used to focus on My Presence even when you were in meetings. I was always there by your side. You knew I was with you then.

Your plans are of no avail, just busy work. You’ve been running and running through your life. I’ve been calling on your heart. But you’ve focused more on your “to do” list versus seeking My Presence.

Oh Lord, please forgive me. In the evenings, exhaustion comes. Then I forget Your words of victory. So it’s easy to slip into my old habits of snacking until I fall asleep in my chair.

Child, know I am with you. I will lead you as you surrender to Me your life and your will. As you seek Me, I will lead you one day at a time, one moment at a time. When you are weak and tired, go to bed. Before you close your eyes, praise Me for your victories.

My Child, My plans for you are victory. They are not for your busyness. In fact, it is in your returning and resting in My Presence that will bring your victory over all.

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says r back from your captivity. . . . Jeremiah 29: 11-14 NKJV

There are no perfect people, but God has already planned for your victory.

God of Mercy

Posted on July 8, 2022 by Deborah

Child, I’m a God of mercy, not a God of performance. Remember, I want your heart, and your love, not your performance. I’m not looking for perfection. Instead, I’m looking for a yielded, love-filled heart.

Open Your Eyes

Posted on June 30, 2022 by Deborah

Open your eyes. See My victory!

Just open your eyes to what I AM doing. As you look, you’ll behold My power working throughout Earth.

Remember when that child laid his hand on your shoulder to pray for you? That was one of My miracles. Consider how I moved- a young child praying at the altar for a grandmother who was praying for her grandchildren. Now that, My child, is a miracle. Two hearts of different generations praying for each other at the altar. That is a miracle indeed.

Now this day open your eyes and look for My miracles and My Presence working in different lives. And thank Me for each victory you see. Expect many victories coming forth for I will have My way and I always win. I AM the winner over and above all. Now watch and see what I will do.

Much is coming forth, miracles, signs, wonders, and revelations of the truth. In fact, I will recognized as the winner over all others. My kingdom will come and My “Will” will be done on Earth as in Heaven. So watch and see what I will do. If you open your eyes, you will see My miracles everywhere you look.

Yes Sir. Thank you Lord. Help me to praise You all throughout my life. Thank you for talking to me to encourage me when I get overwhelmed by all the news.

How many times, My child, do I have to remind you, “Don’t look at what you see, especially in your so-called news. But instead, look to Me. Keep your eyes looking to Me.”

Yes Sir. Thank you for reminding me. I love You.

I love you too, My child. In fact, I love all of My children.

OPEN YOUR EYES AND PRAY:

Our Father in Heaven, hallowed be Your Name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven’

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.

For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

Matthews 6:9-13 NKJV

Not Performance Based God

Posted on June 20, 2022 by Deborah

I love you, My Child. Even when you don’t love yourself, I love you more than you can imagine.

Child, remember I’m not a performance based God. Rather, I am a loved based God. And I love you just as you are, warts and all. You’re too hard on yourself. Yes, you strive too much, you worry too much, and you self-criticize too much.

Child, just focus on worship and praise. Then all will fall into place as it should, for I am in charge of all things. And I \AM working out all things for your good and My glory.

Trust Me in all things. Then watch and see what I will do. After all, I split the Red Sea for the Israelites to walk through. Do you think the issues in your life are bigger than the Red Sea?

No Sir.

Then trust Me. Thank Me for what you see that I am doing. Also thank Me for what you don’t see I am doing for I AM working out all things for the good according to My will.

Even when mankind go their own way to do their own thing according to their free will to choose, I still turn things around. I still work out all things for the good of those who love Me.

But Lord, what about those who are tortured and killed because they chose You?

I am with them giving them strength to make it through their hardships. Then I take them home to be with Me. Their rewards are great. In fact their rewards are greater than you can know or imagine. In fact I am with them through it all.

Know this, it is the enemy who comes to kill, steal, and destroy. But I have come to give new life and abundant life. So trust Me.

Everyday there are miracles. Just open your eyes to see them. As you look, you will behold My power working throughout the Earth.

Now quit criticizing yourself so much. Remember, I am not a performance based God. Instead I am a love based God. And My love is greater than you can imagine.

Spend Time With Me, Child.

Posted on May 31, 2022 by Deborah

Spend time with Me.

Spend time with Me, My child.

Here I am, Lord. So what would You like to talk about?

You, My child. I love you.

Oh Lord, I don’t know why. After all, I feel stupid, messed up, and confused. It seems I’m constantly running back and forth in circles.

As a matter of fact, I stay extremely busy. But I’m accomplishing nothing, that is nothing significant.

Lord, I’m so confused. Most of the time, I feel like a failure.

Child, don’t you know I love you as you are. But I’m not going to let you stay this way.

As a matter of fact, I’m going to change you into My victory trophy.

Lord, I don’t feel like a victory trophy. At this time, I feel like I am a failure example.

Child, in My family there are no failures, only lessons not learned yet. And you are learning. In fact, the main thing you’re learning is that I love you unconditionally.

And I will always love you.

Nothing can change that, not even you. So there, My Child, rest in that. Rest in My love.

But Lord, I want to be used by You.

Child, you are and you will be.

Lord, help me keep my focus on You.

Child, don’t worry about goals set by others. Instead, make it your goal to do My will each day to the best of your ability. And I’ll take care of the rest. Trust Me. Spend time with Me.

Yes Sir. Help me keep my focus on Your will, pleasing You in all things, in all ways.

Child, I have you in My hands. I have all My children in My hands holding each one close to My heart.

I enjoy blessing all My people. But it’s Satan’s desire to steal, kill, and destroy. In comparison, it’s My desire to bless, increase, grant a hope and a future, to prosper all of Mine, heal, set free, and deliver.

It’s My plan to bless with increase, restoration, and to grant eternal life to all who seek My love.

Child, it’s your job to trust and obey. So allow Me to guide your every step and your every word. And spend time with Me.

Yes, Lord, thank you for Your mercy and Your love. I don’t deserve it. I never can.

Child, I love you because I want to, not because you deserve it. I love all of Mine because I want to. After all, I willingly gave up My life because I wanted to.

Spend time with Me, My child.

I love all, but I’ll never force My love on anyone. They have to ask Me. They have to invite Me into their hearts.

Oh, if they only knew the depths of My love, the infinity of My love, and the indescribable joys of My love. Then, not only would they ask Me to be in their hearts, they would run to Me in joyful anticipation of My love for them.

But Satan lies and deceives them. He clogs up their ears with his mind blinding spirit. He fills their hearts with false promises of all that glitters, but is not true gold.

My Presence not only opens ears to hear My voice, but it also heals broken hearts and renew minds with limitless possibilities. All things are possible in My Presence.

I See You As Beautiful, Child

Posted on May 24, 2022 by Deborah

God see you as beautiful.

I see you as beautiful, Child, for you are My creation and everything I create is beautiful. Remember, after I created earth and all that was in it, I looked at what I created and said, “It is good”.

But Lord, I don’t like what I see when I look in the mirror, both the physical mirror and the spiritual mirror.

Know this, My Child, I see “all” of who you are. And I love you without condition. For I am not a performance-based God. You do not earn My love, for I freely give it to all who will receive it.

It was sin that brought ugliness and dirty to My creation. And it’s the sin in your life that causes you not to like what you see as you look at yourself.

But it will be My Presence within you that’ll make you beautiful, both to others and yourself. And it’s My Presence within you is what makes you especially beautiful to Me.

When I see you full of My Presence, I see you as gloriously beautiful.

Oh Lord, I do want to be beautiful to You.

Then My Child, allow Me to fill you with My Presence and all that is ugly will disappear. Even your wrinkles will be evidence of laughter and wisdom.

Lord, I want You. And I want Your will in all I do, say, and especially what I think. Renew my mind. At times that’s the ugliest part of me. Sometimes my thoughts of evilness shock even me.

In fact, it’s in my mind where I fight and struggle the most. Renew my mind Lord. Change me and make me onto the person You want me to be.

I see you as beautiful, Child, for you are Mine.

Here I am, I give myself to thee. Do with me as You wish.

Child, I love you and I see you as beautiful, not ugly. Always remember I love you. No matter what, I love you. I gave My life blood for you because I love you.

Oh Lord, help me to love You as I should. Help me to please You in all my ways.

Child, remember I am not a performance-based God. In fact, I am a God of love. And it’s My love for you that will clean you up and make you pure, with a clean heart and a clean mind.

Sometimes that process of cleansing is uncomfortable and not easy. But you’ll come through it all victorious. After all, that’s My plan for you- Victory.

In fact, that is My plan for each and every one of Mine. Victory is Mine, saith the Lord.

Seek My guidance and seek My voice. Seek My love and wisdom above all else and you’ll never go wrong as you yield and surrender yourself to My will in all things.

Lord, help me.

My Child, I am helping you.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that through Him might be saved. John 3:16-17

There are no perfect people. but the Lord gives victory to all who seek Him.

Seeking Day

Posted on May 17, 2022 by Deborah

Today is “Seeking Day”.

Today is your “seeking day”. Seek My will and seek My Presence. I know you’ll be talking to others, but focus on talking to Me today, all throughout your day.

Lord, this is such a struggle. It’s an ongoing battle, a major struggle in my life. In fact, it seems I can’t ever win.

Child, victories only come through struggles and battles. There’s never a victory without a battle.

But Lord, it seems like there’s a war inside of me and I can’t ever win.

My Child, you can win, for you are a winner. After all, you are Mine and all of Mine win. Because I always win. Therefore you win.

But Lord, right now I feel like a loser, defeated before all to see, especially myself. I see myself as a loser.

So My child, quit looking at what you see. Now look to Me, so you can see what I see. For you, My Child, are strong and victorious.

But Lord, I start out my day strong. Then by night fall I’m weak and defeated.

Then change My child, change your pattern of life.

How can I? When I wake up, the house is quiet and I can hear Your voice clearly. But in the evening I am tired, the TV is blaring, news is depressing and I fall asleep in my chair. How can I change this pattern?

Child, make today your “Seeking Day”. You’ve been listening to many voices throughout your day. On this “seeking day”, shut off all other voices and settle yourself in. Seek My voice. Seek My Presence and you will have peace. When I am on your side, you are a winner. It is so for I have declared it so.

Seek My Presence.

Words From Seeking Day

The Lord will always deliver me from all evil and will bring me into His heavenly Kingdom . . . 2 Timothy 4:18 TLB

Seek My answers, Child.

Lord, I know You’re the answer to all.

But Child, you do not seek My answers.

Lord, I thought I did. I’m so confused.

Child, listen to Me.

So Lord, what do I do?

To begin with Child, seek My Presence first. Then listen as I speak to your heart. Seek My answers to all your questions. Also spend time reading My Word, for you will find many answers there as well. Continue reading →

Promise Land of Victory

Posted on May 2, 2022 by Deborah

Your promise land of victory is just ahead. So Child, look to Me and keep going forth.

Know this Child, I’m helping you. I am with you on your side. And I’ll keep you wherever you go. I’ll always bring you back to your personal promise land of victory.

And I’ll not leave you until I have completed all in your life, until I have fulfilled all My promises to you and all My words. In fact, know this, I will never leave you.

Even when you wandered off My chosen path for you, I never left your side. But I always gently guided you back to the path I designed just for you.

Yes, I forgive your failures. But know this, you’re not a failure for you are Mine. In fact, none of Mine are failures for I have determined victory for all of Mine, My victory for each one.

Thank you Lord for Your mercy and Your forgiveness. Thank you for Your promises and Your love, especially Your love.

And thank you Lord, for never giving up on me.

Child, I’ll never give up on you. I never give up on any of Mine. I’ll never give up for I AM the WINNER over all, even you, My child.

Each new day is your Promise Land of victory.

Thank you Lord for talking with me this morning.

Words of Victory

Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land, for I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you. Genesis 28:15

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:57

It’s your new day of victory!

Say I am Strong

Posted on April 25, 2022 by Deborah

Child, let the weak say, “I am strong.”

Lord, I am weak.

Child, let the weak say, “I am strong.”

Lord, I can’t.

Child, you’re right. You can’t. But let the weak say, “I am strong.”

Lord, if I said, “I am strong”, then I’d be lying.

Child, did you invite Me into your heart?

Yes Sir.

Then let the weak say, “I am strong”. For I Am strong and I Am in your heart. So let the weak say, “I am strong”.

Lord, I don’t know what to do. It seems I’ve failed at all my attempts for victory.

Child, you lost 90 pounds on My eating plan for you. Then you lost 40 pounds on your plan. I don’t call that failure. I call that success.

What was gained back I call struggle. My child, you are in a struggle and a fight.

But let the weak say, “I am strong”. Because of My power within you- you have all the strength you need to defeat this giant of food addiction in your life.

How do you think it looked to little David before the great giant? Let the weak say, “I am strong.”

Lord, I feel as though I am drowning in a sea of junk food.

Child, changing habits is hard. But I am with you.

Lord, I feel like such a wimp. So many are suffering so much. It looks so bad for so many, and here I am whining to You about my food issues.

Child, I see you. And I see them too. I see all. And I am helping each one with their struggles. Know that I care about each one no matter what level of struggle they are dealing with.

To the greater need, I provide greater strength and peace. I surround them with My love and My Presence. But I do the same with you as well.

Lord, I feel so stupid and insignificant.

Child, you are important to Me. I have a specific plan for you and your life. In fact I intend to help you fulfill and achieve victory. Yes, I have victory planned for you.

In fact, I have victory planned for each one of Mine. Some have greater victories. Some have smaller victories. But I have victories planned for each one.

Lord, I don’t understand.

Child, it is not necessary that you understand. But it is necessary that you trust Me. Now, let the weak say, “I am strong”.

Alright Lord, I am strong.

Say I Am Strong

. . . Let the weak say I am strong. Joel 3:10 NKJV
