Faith makes the unseen reality. Faith believes God’s voice commanded and created all the universe. The unseen (words) brought the seen (creation), into reality. Without faith, it is impossible to please God. Faith causes us to seek God with our whole hearts.
Now faith brings our hopes into reality and becomes the foundation needed to acquire the things we long for. It is all the evidence required to prove what is still unseen. This testimony of faith is what previous generations were commended for. Faith empowers us to see that the universe was created and beautifully coordinated by the power of God’s words! He spoke and the invisible realm gave birth to all that is seen. (Hebrews 11:1-3 TPT)
And without faith living within us it would be impossible to please God. For we come to God in faith knowing that he is real and that he rewards the faith of those who give all their passion and strength into seeking him. (Hebrews 11:6 TPT)

Does it seem that you have suffered one loss, after another? Have you thought that good things come to others but not to you? Battered from the harsh past winter? Ready for the new?
Change, yes, great change is here. The formerly bare tree limbs burst with fresh opened new green leaves and the air fragrant with the sweet aroma of blossoms. The endless winter has ended and spring has arrived. Promise of an abundant harvest fills the air, long before it becomes sight.
Yahweh speaks first in the natural, before the spiritual. (The spiritual does not come first, but the physical and then the spiritual. 2 Corinthians 15:46) When you feel exhausted, with few resources, take heart. We have entered a divinely appointed new season of a fresh start. It is time for refreshing and restoration! Healing and great joy! Resurrection of faded dreams with fresh vision!
“Then I will repay you for the years
that the mature locusts, the adult locusts,
the grasshoppers, and the young locusts ate your crops.
(They are the large army that I sent against you.)
You will have plenty to eat, and you will be full.
You will praise the name of Yahweh your Elohim,
who has performed miracles for you.
My people will never be ashamed again.” (Joel 2:25-26 MSG)

God is going deep to heal each one of us. God is dealing with the deep things in your spirit, the hidden things in your belly.
In order to bring out His best in us, through the worse of us, that the excellency of the power be of Him, and not of us. The things we don’t talk about. The things we don’t want to talk about, the things that speak to us when no one else is listening, the things that deal with the core of our very essence…The things we say we are healed from but we still need healing from.
Do not rush or try to dictate the healing hand of the Lord, simply rest, recline, and receive the wholeness from his arms, his heart.
The things that hinder our being, thwart, and retard our growth are being brought forth. Think it not strange the unidentified feelings and emotions that surface and resurface in this season.
Softly and tenderly, the Lion of love, purrs over you with great detail and deep comfort. He loves away your pain, your fear, and lack. Yes, even the things we wrestle with within ourselves. The things we can’t always express, but can always feel. God is going deeply, to heal you…to deepen the cry of our hearts for HIM…Selah

God has specifically designed ways for making his people, whole and complete. You don’t have to adhere to every suggestion that comes your way. You don’t have to succumb to people’s negativity, those who don’t even count in the eyes of God, nor shrink at every opinion that crosses your ear. However, follow the plan that God has for your life! He has a special plan for you that may not parallel, others who are similar or different from you.
You are exceptional! You are exclusive! You are a rare extraordinaire! You are so unique that the Father knows every desire within your heart, because he impregnated you, by the Holy Spirit. Look at Zechariah and Elizabeth, God wouldn’t loose his tongue to articulate his destiny, until he came into complete compliance with His plan for his life. (Luke 1:5-25 and 57-80)
The power of God’s plan, over our lives! It is inevitable and incredible. He is zany about you and will not cause harm or evil to you. Regardless, of what everything and everyone else says in your life, simply comply and follow the plan He has for your life.

Discouraged due to your circumstances? Change the way that you think. Renew your mind by thinking on how much Father God loves you. How he sustains and strengthens you on life’s journey. Express gratitude and thankfulness for his goodness to you.
The children of Israel were miraculously delivered from years of slavery in Egypt and had all their needs provided. They had manna, bread from heaven to eat and water from the rock. Their clothes and shoes did not wear out. God was their cloud cover, shading them from the desert sun by day and as fire by night. Yet their focus changed from their blessings, to ingratitude and complaining. They became impatient with the journey and discouraged, cursing God and Moses for their difficulties. This negativity brought judgment and not joy.
Our attitude determines our outcome. Have a different thought of gratitude and live abundantly.
And they journeyed from Mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom, and the people became impatient (depressed, much discouraged), because [of the trials] of the way.
And the people spoke against God and against Moses, Why have you brought us out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no bread, neither is there any water, and we loathe this light (contemptible, unsubstantial) manna.Then the Lord sent fiery (burning) serpents among the people; and they bit the people, and many Israelites died. And the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord and against you; pray to the Lord, that He may take away the serpents from us. So Moses prayed for the people. And the Lord said to Moses, Make a fiery serpent [of bronze] and set it on a pole; and everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, shall live. And Moses made a serpent of bronze and put it on a pole, and if a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked to the serpent of bronze [attentively, expectantly, with a steady and absorbing gaze], he lived. (Numbers 21:4-9 AMPC) (Jesus said he was the bronze serpent, “He who believes in (has faith in, clings to, relies on) the Son has (now possesses) eternal life.” But whoever does not so believe in, cling to, and rely on the Son “will never see… life.” (John 3:36 AMPC))

I hate seeing believers sell their birthright, inheritance, and sonship blessings for a pot of deception stew, for convenience in lieu of endurance, and for reneging on God’s promises due to lack of faith. Because they don’t value nor appreciate the things of God, there is absolutely no regard for what Yahweh says or thinks.
This is profanity. In the Bible, profanity means a lack of holiness. If you take something holy and good, and treat it with contempt, then you have profaned it. To treat the things of God, as ordinary is to profane or despise them. It shows a lack of godliness, which the New Testament says about Esau. He was immoral, and lacked concern for pleasing God. His spiritual blessings and responsibilities meant nothing to him. The Lord tells us to be sure we are not like Esau in this. There was no immoral or godless person like Esau, who sold his own birthright, for a single meal. (Hebrews 12:16).
Through Jesus Christ, we are all Yahweh’s Firstborn. Worship is not failing to appreciate God, who he is in all of his Glory, our birthright inheritance, and valuing our sonship benefits. Obey and Believe God, don’t let the enemy deceive or trick you into selling, what Jesus paid for to make available for “You.”

Praise of the Lord God, brings his presence. There is nothing like dwelling in his presence. He gives us grace and favor. God is our Shield and Sun and he withholds nothing that is good from us!
For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand [anywhere else]; I would rather be a doorkeeper and stand at the threshold in the house of my God than to dwell [at ease] in the tents of wickedness. For the Lord God is a Sun and Shield; the Lord bestows [present] grace and favor and [future] glory (honor, splendor, and heavenly bliss)! No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly. (Psalm 84:10-11 AMPC)
