Run to Jesus When Problems Arise

  Hello, My Dear Children,

  I, your Jesus, know everything that goes on in your life. I understand what you are going through when you are hurting. I also rejoice when you are experiencing great joy in your heart and in your life. I want to walk with you through it all so that no matter what, you have Me to share with in your joy, and you have My comfort in your sad times. I am always here for My children.

  I am with those who trust in My Name. When you need Me, I am only a whisper or thought away when you call or think of Me. No matter how hard your life may get, I am here to help you when you turn your heart to Me. Some of My children who put their trust in Me, really don’t put their trust in Me. When things get hard, they try to figure things out on their own or seek safety and comfort in the wrong places, never seeking My guidance. I desire as your Lord, to receive your full trust because I know what is best for each of My children. Instead of carrying the heavy load and worries of life on your own shoulders, submit them to Me. Lay them at My feet and don’t pick them up again. I am better able to help you deal with problems and worries than you are on your own. If you will trust Me with the good and the ugly parts of your life, then that means you won’t be worrying about them or trying to find ways to get away from them. You will be free to walk in peace and follow Me. Then you can think clearly as I direct you in dealing with the issues of life you are experiencing. Will you truly trust Me today and everyday with your life?

  My Dear Ones, I never intended for you to walk this life on your own. I made you to need Me and My love for you. When you trust Me with your life, I will always be with you to help you. When any kind of trouble comes, don’t run away in frustration; turn to Me first. Just think of Me or whisper to Me, and I will hear and I will answer you. I will provide what you need when you need it. The stresses of life may seem impossible, but with Me leading you through it, nothing is impossible. But you must turn to Me with all your heart and put your trust in Me to take care of you and those you love.

  My children, when you experience a difficulty and don’t turn to Me for guidance and My will for you, I am unable to lead you to greener pastures. I patiently wait for you to turn to Me, but many times this doesn’t happen. You make your own decisions and many times the difficulty may go away for a short time or just a little, but it will come back again or worse. When you turn to Me for guidance in any situation if you don’t know what to do, I will lovingly lead you in the right direction because I want what’s best for you. The road may be hard, but with My help I will lead you to the right destination.

  Will you believe that I am big enough to carry all your troubles and burdens on My shoulders? If you will believe, then you will be able to turn your burdens over to Me. Lay them down in complete submission to My will for your life. The weight and stress in your life will be lifted off your shoulders, and you will be able to focus on Me and My purposes designed for you. As you walk in obedience to Me, I will work out the best way to handle each one of your problems in My time. It brings Me great joy to see My children walking free from the weight of the world because they are letting Me carry it for them. This is My will for all My children to do on a daily basis.

  “I said, ‘Oh, that I had the wings of a dove! I would fly away and be at rest-I would flee far away and stay in the desert, I would hurry to my place of shelter, far from the tempest and storm’…But I call to God, and the Lord saves me. Evening, morning and noon I cry out in distress and he hears my voice. He ransoms me unharmed from the battle waged against me, even though many oppose me… Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous fall… But as for me, I trust in You.” Psalm 55:6-8, 16-18, 22 & 23b

  “Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Matthew 11:29

  “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider Him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.” Hebrews 12:1-3

  “The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and His understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” Isaiah 40:28-31

  There is no one else who knows you and your situation better than Myself. The first thing I desire for you to do when faced with a trial or problem is to seek Me to find out how to handle things. Then My wisdom will be leading you through it. There may be quick results, or it could take years. If you have faith and you trust in Me, you can know My best for you will be the result. Let Me lighten the load you carry so you can run and finish the race I have set before you. It brings Me great pleasure when My children trust Me completely.

  We will begin reading Psalm 56-60 for two weeks.

Blessing in Him,

I Will Cleanse You from All Unrighteousness

Hello Dear Ones,

How are you doing this week? I, your Jesus, long to fill your days with the kind of joy and peace which are only found in Me. Don’t let yourself be discouraged when bad days come, or when you make mistakes. Come to Me and seek My face. Comfort will arise in your hearts and you will receive My strength to carry on. Turn to Me in good days and bad days, and I will give you all you need to be content no matter what your situation is.

My children, I am your Redeemer. I have come to set you free from every sin, stronghold, and bondage that has found its way into your life. Remember, I conquered all sin past, present and future by dying on the cross and rising to life again on the third day, destroying death itself. There is nothing in your life that is too hard for Me to forgive if you will seek Me in faith, with a humble and contrite heart. I desire that you would acknowledge the sin in your life as it is made aware to you by the Holy Spirit. Then, seek My forgiveness through repentance for that sin. I am faithful and My grace is limitless; and I will forgive you of your sins, and restore you to a close walk with Me. I am patient with you and I will wait for you to come to Me and seek My love for you, with a humble heart.

My children, I know that sometimes it is hard to see Me for who I really am: Creator, Savior, Deliverer and Sustainer of all life. Know this, My whole purpose as the Son of God, is to save your soul from eternity apart from Me, and redeem your life from the schemes of the enemy who desires to keep My true purposes for your life hidden from you. The only way to discover My purposes for your life is to daily seek Me with a humble and soft heart. This is accomplished by being obedient to My Word. Then I will be able to slowly and lovingly deliver you from any sin, stronghold, or bondage.Sin is when you do something that you know is against My will. Strongholdsare walls that are built up around the heart when someone hurts you. And bondage comes from false beliefs about yourself or how God thinks about you, that might be in your life such as, “God couldn’t love Me”. You will be able to receive My corrections, discipline, and unfailing love each day that you seek Me. All of this is intended to remove any false ideas you have about Me, and correct wrong behaviors and thoughts that are strong and overpowering in your life. Come, let’s begin today, and see how strong My love is for you.

My faithful ones, there are some who misunderstand how I see sin. Yes, I have forgiven you of your sin - past, present, and future - when you repent of your sins and receive Me as your Savior, which is being “born again”. But even though you have been forgiven, and your soul has been redeemed, you are still going to make mistakes and you will sin again, everyday even. As My children, I have called you to live in this world but not of this world. But you still live in a sinful world and sin is all around you. This is why I desire for you to daily seek Me with a soft heart, willing to hear and receive correction when My Holy Spirit shows you your sin. In your love for Me and My Word, you will become repentant and sorrowful over your sin. You can then seek Me to forgive you of any sin known or unknown you have done. When you come to Me with a repentant heart, I will immediately forgive your sins and cleanse you from that sin. This can be done every day, if not many times a day as you are lead by My Holy Spirit. As you grow in this, you will find that you sin less, and you become more sensitive and aware when you are sinning. This is when you repent and seek forgiveness immediately once you realize that you have sinned. As you walk daily cleansed of your sin, you and I will then walk closer to each other all day long.

It doesn’t matter how bad you think you have sinned, I will forgive your sins by My grace, and draw you closer and closer to Me. This is when I can teach you and lead you into the life I created you for. I will restore your life to be free from the sin and strongholds that bind you and keep you from walking in freedom with Me. I am a patient God and when you desire to know Me and My love for you I will respond to your prayers to Me. Just know that My love for you is unlike any love you have ever known.

“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23

“Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to Your great compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash away my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my transgressions and my sin is always before me… Surely You desire truth in the inner parts; You teach me wisdom in the inmost place. Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow… Hide Your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquity. Create in me a pure heart O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from Your presence or take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me… a broken and contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.” Psalm 51:1-3, 6-7, 9-12 & 17

“If we claim to have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth. But if we confess our sins to Him, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.” 1 John 1:8-9

I am the Savior of the world, and I accomplished everything that needed to be done to save you when I died on the cross and resurrected on the third day destroying sin and death. My forgiveness is available to all who trust in Me by faith, acknowledge their sin, repent, and receive My grace. When you walk before Me with a humble heart, seek Me and My will for your life, I will daily transform you into the person I created you to be. My great love for you will become the most important thing in your life as you follow after Me.

We will continue reading Psalm 51 – 55for one more week.

In Him,

I Am Your Refuge and Strength in Times of Trouble

Dearest Ones,

  There is not a day that goes by that I am not thinking about you, and the many desires and dreams I have for your life. I long to share them with you if you will draw near to Me by reading My Word and spending time with Me today, and every day after that. I love you, and I long to speak words of refreshment and hope into each part of your life. Then, even in the difficult days and difficult moments you can remember all that I have told you and you will be encouraged.

My children, I your Jesus and Savior, am your refuge, strength, and ever-present help in times of trouble. There is nothing impossible for Me if you will have faith to believe and trust in Me to help you. In this world you will have trouble. With My help, the trouble you encounter can be used to help you grow and mature in Me and to bring Me glory by being a witness to others of My power and authority. I love to hear My children call out My Name, Jesus, in praise and worship, as well as in times of trouble, stress and anxiety. I am an omnipresent God and I am with you no matter where you are. I will defend you and protect you. I will give you peace and safety. Give Me all that is troubling you and I will help you.

  "There is nothing impossible for Me" is a big statement and difficult to comprehend. I am the creator of the heavens and the earth, yet I look upon you with love. You were created in My image and I desire to be with you and help you each day. Before your day starts, step out in faith by seeking Me, Jesus and spending time with Me. Have faith that I am with you and trust in Me to work things out for your good. When you grow to love Me with all of your heart, and have complete faith in Me, you will call to Me and I will help you. You can always turn to Me for strength and courage as you are going into a difficult situation or while you are in the situation. Remember, My ways are not your ways, so trust in Me to work things out according to My will instead of depending on your own understanding.

My Faithful Ones, you will have trouble in this life. Do not fear when trials come, but look to Me and I will calm your spirit. There is nothing to fear when you walk with Me. I desire the very best for My people. When you turn to Me in faith, and depend on My will for your life, you will be able to endure times of trial. You will persevere and overcome while you shine in My glory for all to see. In this, you will be a witness for others, and they will also have confidence in My power and authority over their lives.

  When My Name is spoken out of love for Me in praise and worship, My heart is drawn even closer to you. When My Name is spoken in times of trouble, stress, and anxiety, I am ever-present to help you. In my omnipresence, you can know that I am with you where ever you go when you walk in obedience to My commands. If there is sin or unforgiveness in your heart then these will keep you at a distance from Me. I cannot co-existent with sin. So come to Me and seek forgiveness for your sins, and walk clean before Me daily. In My love for you, I will defend you and protect you in many ways. When your life is chaotic, I will give you peace and safety even in the chaos. You can tell Me anything. I already know everything about you, but I want you to share with Me everything. Talk to Me about everything that brings your heart great joy. Tell anything that troubles you, then give it to Me and let it stay with me. This means you are not to worry about them, but follow My guidance in dealing with the issues. Rest in Me daily, I am strong, and capable of carrying the weight of the world on My shoulders. Remember, nothing is impossible for Me.

 “Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.” Hebrews 11:6

  “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7

  “Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.” James 1:2-5

  “…in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to Him purpose.” Romans 8:28

  “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.      "Therefore we will not fear… The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.” Psalm 46:1-2 & 7
  Dear Ones, I desire for you to turn all of your attention to Me because there is no one else in this world who is bigger and who loves you more. Turn your hearts to Me in faith and complete trust, and rest in Me daily as you receive strength, courage and help in times of trouble. I will use your times of trial to help you grow in Me because I use evil for good for My glory. When My Name is spoken in praise and worship or in distress and time of need, I am always listening attentively to your every word. I am always ready to help. I am never too busy. I am always right with you. Lay all your burdens at My feet and leave them there. I am able to take care of them. Then rest in My love and care for you today and every day!!
