BE IT UNTO ME ACCORDING TO THY WORD

In Luke 1:26-38, we find the story of Mary’s encounter with the angel Gabriel, who announces to her that she would be carrying the Son of God.  She responded, “be it unto me according to thy word”.  She responded with simple faith to be unto her all that Gabriel, representing the Lord had spoken.

Luk 1:38  And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her. 

Such faith! How would you have responded if you were in Mary’s place and an angel of the Lord came to give you a word from the Lord? Would you have agreed with the word and waited for His promise to come to pass?

I know tumultuous circumstances may surround the dream or the word that the Lord has placed within us.  However, we must respond in faith and say, “Lord; it will be unto Me according to Thy word.”  Because the word of the Lord says, “He shall supply all our needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”  That settles it; it is done.

The Lord is simply looking for us to stand in agreement with His word to bring to earth what has already been established in Heaven. Therefore, agree with His word and do not doubt, then watch as His will is done in your life as it is in Heaven.

Mat 6:10  Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 

Be encouraged by the Still Small Voice:

Only believe and have simple faith.  Faith in Me is what you need to have in Me.  Just rest in faith, believing that I am working even when nothing seems to be changing. Call those things that be not as though they were and trust in Me.   Yes, have faith and trust. Trust that what I’ve told you will come to pass.  Have faith that the way has already been made and rest in My word, and it shall be done as you believe.

Take hold of My promises and all the good things that I said I would do. Put aside the words of the enemy and the fears of your heart. Loose yourself from all that is not of Me and stand in faith.  Stand in faith and believe that I am acting on your behalf, and it will be done according to My word.

 

Read and Meditate on His Word:

Mat 9:27-29  And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us. And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.

Php 4:19  But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. 

Rom 4:17  (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.

Just A Touch

I am abiding with you in all that you do, but I hear you say that at times you cannot feel My presence. You say you miss My touch, and you wonder where I am. I am right here. I know at times it may seem like I am not there, but I am with you. I am holding back things that you cannot even imagine. Although you say you cannot feel My touch, I am working in your life behind the scene doing things to answer the many prayers that you have prayed. I am always with you.

Stop right now for a few minutes; close your eyes, shut out everything, and put your mind on Me. I want to show you what you need to do to get “just a touch” this day.  Meditate on who I am, and say, “Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.” You don’t even have to say My name out loud; you can just think My name. “Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.” Go ahead, try it; because I know and hear your deepest thoughts. Just call My name, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.  Oh, how I love to hear you call My name.

YOUR ANSWERS ARE COMING

Beloved,

If you release yourself from the bondage of doubt, the answers you seek will come.  You will be amazed when you see the answers coming forth in unexpected ways.  I have heard the cry of your heart, and the answers are forthcoming. No need to worry; just rest in faith.  For even in the midst of uncertainty, I will open doors that will offer unexpected opportunities to do what you never considered possible.

Only trust Me; do not fear. Refuse to allow negative thoughts to take you captive, and you will find a new level of freedom beyond anything you could imagine.  Be obedient to My leading, and stay in My word, for your answers are coming.  Have faith and know that I am with you, and I heard your prayers.

Read and Meditate on My Word:

Pro. 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding

Lam 3:57  Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not.

Isa. 65:24  And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

Jer. 33:3  Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. 

DON’T DO IT WITHOUT ME

Allow Me to lift that false burden off of you that drives you to focus on the task and pulls you away from Me.  Come to Me for refreshment and rejuvenation. Have I not said in My word, “They that wait upon the Lord will renew their strength?”  Don’t try to do anything without Me. Wait for My leading and My guidance before you undo all that I’ve done in your life. I want to be your strength and your source. I want to be your everything.

My child, there are times when you become so busy serving Me that you forget to spend time with Me.  When this happens, you allow the task becomes more important than your relationship with Me, and that’s not how it should be. Yes, the task is important, for I have given you real kingdom work to do. However, I never intended for you to do it without Me; for apart from Me, you can do nothing.

You must always abide in Me, and I in you.  Your work won’t be fruitful unless you abide in Me. Precious one, when you focus on the task instead of on the One who gave you that task, you are doing it apart from Me.  You cannot succeed without Me. That’s why I said to meditate in My word day and night, and then your way will be made prosperous.  Don’t do anything until you get clarity and direction from Me.   Draw nigh to Me; watch what I am doing and do it with Me.  I only did what I saw My Father do; My Father and I always worked as one. Therefore, do not try to do anything without Me.

DON’T STOP SHORT OF RECEIVING YOUR BLESSING

Be good; be strong; be faithful; for I am going to bring you forth into this new season with many surprises. The surprises that I bring forth will be for your benefit.  Therefore, don’t be surprised by the work of the enemy against you. Don’t lose heart.  Don’t give up on the path that I have prepared for you. All you have to do is believe, and walk with Me in the way that I will lead you.  I will empower you by My spirit to do the things that I have asked of you.  So, be strong in the Lord. Don’t give up and stop short of receiving your blessing.

IT WILL BE AS YOU BELIEVE

You are believing and trusting Me for what you know in your human mind is impossible. You even wonder if you have the timing right. However, you know that what you desire is according to My will.  Listen to Me, don’t start doubting My word now; for it was I, Who put this into your heart to do in the first place. If it came from your own flesh, it would have surely died by now; it would never materialize. However, it came from Me, and with Me, nothing is impossible.  

I say to you, just as you allowed Me to put what you see as an impossibility in your heart, and you did not resist, allow Me to bring it to pass.  Don’t allow your fleshly concerns and desires to get in the way. I need you to decrease so that I can increase.  Simply, wait, pray and be obedient to My words. Do this over and over again at every stumbling block that tries to hinder you; for it is the only way you will cross the goal line. Yes, I said “cross the goal line”, because you will.  

Abide in Me; for you can’t do this without Me. I’ve poured so much into you. I want the fruit that I’ve planted in you to remain, and bring forth more fruit.  Therefore, lay what you think is impossible upon Me. Yes, bring Me your impossibilities, with Me all things are possible.  Now, have confidence in Who I am. Have faith in My word, and believe that you have already received what you desired, and it will be as you believe.

Read and Meditate on His Word:

Mat 9:28-29  And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.

Mark 10:27  And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

John 15:4-5  Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

John 15:16  Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

1Jn 5:14-15  And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:  And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

POUR INTO OTHERS

I have chosen you, so do not be afraid to step forward and do what I’ve called you to do. It is not in your own strength that things will be accomplished but in Mine. My hand is upon you. It is time to go forth with what I have poured into you throughout the years. What you’ve learned and received must be shared.

The seed I planted in you has been dormant for too long. It’s time we water it and bring it to life, and start pouring what I’ve have imparted in you into the lives of those around you. I know you have daily concerns which you feel are overwhelming, but you must trust Me to take care of them. There are others waiting to receive from you. Just for little awhile, will you lay aside your own needs, and begin to strengthen those around you with a word of encouragement?
