Don’t live off someone else’s relationship with God. Get in the face of God for yourself, personally.

Distracted and concerned about many things? Wondering how you will get through all the issues that consume your thoughts? You have your mind focused on the problems. Let them go. Have another thought and focus on Yahweh, who is calling your name!
Listen! Yahweh is speaking but we are distracted and not paying attention. Stop, listen, and do what he tells you. Relationship consists of two-way communication, not a monologue, especially in prayer. Worship is obedience to the voice of your loving Heavenly Father. He is near and wants you to quiet your heart, so you can hear and follow his instructions. End the famine of hearing the voice of Yahweh. Listen and receive his peace that guards your heart and passes all understanding.
Samuel as a boy, heard his name called at night and thought that Eli was calling him. “Go, lie down,” Eli told Samuel. “When he calls you, say, ‘Speak, Yahweh. I’m listening.’” So Samuel went and lay down in his room. Yahweh came and stood there. He called as he had called the other times: “Samuel! Samuel!” And Samuel replied, “Speak. I’m listening.” (1 Samuel 3:9-10 NOG)
Take time to listen to Yahweh, today! Your day will go much better and you will develop a closer relationship with Yahweh.

The time has come to end performance, entertaining, and impressing of others, by the flesh. Skills, talents, and human abilities are no match nor substitute, for the Glory. Now is the time for the true worshipers, to come forth…and nothing impresses us more than the pure Glory of the Lord.

Always remember God’s purpose. In all phases of life, develop the habit of asking these two questions. What is your purpose for me in this? Father, what is your purpose, for this situation?
When we have lost our purpose and His purpose for us, then we are blind. When you are blind, losing sight of God’s purpose, you’re liable of bumping into anything or doing the wrong thing.
LIVE YOUR LIFE LOST IN HIS PURPOSE, not the enemy’s . . .

Ever notice how fear is contagious? It works with doubt and unbelief that God cares to provide what you need. Fear immobilizes and brings torment of many negative things. Faith and trust in the goodness of God routes fear.
God, I AM, says: “Trust me not your resources, job, abilities, reasoning, or heritage. Nothing is too difficult for me. I brought Israel out of Egyptian slavery with silver, gold and in health. Then I cared for them, in the wilderness, 40 years. They had bread from heaven to eat and supernatural water. Their clothes and shoes did not wear out. I AM the same yesterday, today and forever. I AM your provision and there is no lack because I AM your source.”
He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes. (Psalm 105:37 KIV)
And now I have it all—and keep getting more! The gifts you sent with Epaphroditus were more than enough, like a sweet-smelling sacrifice roasting on the altar, filling the air with fragrance, pleasing God no end. You can be sure that God will take care of everything you need, his generosity exceeding even yours in the glory that pours from Jesus. Our God and Father abounds in glory that just pours out into eternity. Yes. (Philippians 4:18-20 MSG)
Today I choose to trust I AM God and not on myself.

Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? Is it well with thy husband? Is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well. (2 Kings 4:26 KJV)
Yesssss, because it is well, before we even see it well or feel it well. Whatever we declare that is already in heaven, on earth, when we Declare it on earth, it happens. It happens on earth because heaven backs us up. The angels of the Lord assist us, in bringing it to pass, swiftly.
It is more well than our lives know. It is more well than our circumstances can tell, at the moment. It is more well than the money in our banking account. Because we love according to our heavenly account, it is more well than we can express. It is more well than what we haven’t yet seen manifest.
It is well. You are well! Your children are well! Your ministry is well! When you say, “it is well,” you are saying IT IS: Commendably, meritoriously, or excellently done, well. You are saying well-being; good fortune; good health; success: IT IS WELL!

Resting underneath the shadow of the Almighty’s wings
Dwelling in the Most High, pure worship, my heart sings
Drawing close to him giving my heart, he’s all I ever need
Responding to his voice, his love most gratefully received
Leaving all my worries, stresses, concerns, and cares with him
Trusting, knowing as I release he will handle every one of them
Coming close, resting, loving and learning what gives him delight
Enjoying his closeness, presence and his love with all my might
He rescues me from danger, snares, others’ anger, and daggers
His strength causes me to rest, trust, listen, not stress or stagger
He mounts me up on eagle’s spread wings and causes me to soar
Cause he’s my refuge, my dwelling, rock, and my protecting door
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall dwell in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God in him will I trust. (Psalm 91:1-2 KJV)

by Apostle Gabriel Cross
You have truly forgiven and are in place in God, when you can look at the ones whom hurt you, fabricated stories about you, beat you, and even planned to kill you, and say this:
” . .Fear not: for am I in the place of God? But as for you, you thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive. Now therefore, fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.” (Genesis 50:19-21 KJV)

Yahweh calls to us to seek him with all our hearts. He beckons us into a closer, more intimate, and deeper relationship, with him than we had yesterday. As you come closer, surrender your will for his will in your life. In his presence, all your cares and concerns melt like wax. Overwhelmed by his presence, you are forever changed and comforted. Time resting in his presence, changes everything.
Enjoy his peace (shalom), wholeness, nothing broken, and complete. Your focus changes to Yahweh, and all the other things fade into insignificance. Your Heavenly Father provides abundantly, all that you need, including joy, love, and peace.
Mountains melt away like wax in a fire
when the Lord of all the earth draws near. (Psalm 97:5 TPT)
Yet look at you now! Everything is new! Although you were once distant and far away from God, now you have been brought delightfully close to him through the sacred blood of Jesus—you have actually been united to Christ! Our reconciling “Peace” is Jesus! He has made Jew and non-Jew one in Christ. By dying as our sacrifice, he has broken down every wall of prejudice that separated us and has now made us equal through our union with Christ. (Ephesians 2:13-14 TPT)
