Just Be Free

She's afraid? But of what you may say. Afraid to fail. That she will not fit in. Afraid to lose. While in wait for a win. That her life will soon be short lived. In the night, prayers of might she does mourn. 


To this one I declare you LIVE ON! Not to fall. But ascend to the sea. Do not fear. Walk in faith. And believe!! You have ALL. Everything that you need. Just dig deep; look within. And be free!!

A Facts Worth

As a child I used to think I had an angel on one side and a devil on the other. And my thoughts were ALWAYS to do what was right because I KNEW my angel would write everything down. And IGNORE [turn away from and don't give praise to] the devil on the other side of me. 


Here's my thought for today. If we'd get more in the mindset of thinking about what we're thinking about it might change the way things turn out to be. Especially when it comes to relating to people, places, and things! Meaning, before we make judgement or comments about what we "believe"; think about it or research the facts. It'll save you from a LOT of apologies.

Woman of Virtue

Ladies,


Single-hood can seem challenging but I promise it’s worth the wait. Esther’s wait positioned her in favor with the King. Ruth followed Naomi and God sent her “Boo thang”. The Bride of Christ awaits to behold our husband-man. And your willingness to wait says, 


“I’m worth MORE THAN WORDS CAN SPEAK”


His favor is tied to God leading him to YOU. THIS is what Proverbs 31 says #WomanOfVirtue

Stand Up

Did you know that adults can be bullies too? Especially among women. Some bully out of intimidation. Others from inner rejections. And the other percentile do it just because they believe it's okay and they just can. So do you stand up to it or just ignore and walk away? Well, someone once told me that a good run is better than a bad stand. And I would agree accept in this case how do you know if the bullying will push you over the edge or make you do something you wouldn't normally do or on a pleasant day normally think to say? My advice is to nip it in the bud when it starts. Overcommunicate....This is ALWAYS key. Find out what the real issue is, talk it out, and move on. If in a work setting and you can't resolve the issue this way then you go a step above. But don't hide behind fear when you can walk away with confidence and inner peace.

Above the Noise

Stay focused on what you are called to do. Avoid things that try to take you off task. Use wisdom in your daily walk of faith. And only respond when you have reason to. If whats brought to you does not hold truth and you've already addressed it. Then shake the dust off your feet and keep moving. It's a distraction. Rise above the noise!

Reality Check

In order for deliverance to occur one must stand toe to toe with what has held them down. Admit the issue and take steps necessary to break through. Adjustments must be made. They may feel awkward but the outcome will set you free Think positive. Its not always easy. But it will be worth it in the end.

Day 10

Love is unconditional God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died  for us. —Romans 5:8 


TODAY’S DARE 


Wives, do something out of the ordinary today for your spouse—something  that proves (to you and him) that your love is based on your choice and nothing else. Run his bath water. Clean the kitchen. Fix his favorite entrée. Fold the laundry. Demonstrate love to him for the sheer joy of  being his partner in marriage. 


Single ladies, take yourself out for a day of pampering. You owe it to yourself. And you never know if Mr. Right will be where you are😉


~Be Empowered & LIVE~

Day 9

Love makes good impressions. Greet one another with  a kiss of love. —1 Peter  5:14 


TODAY’S DARE 


Think of a specific way you’d like to greet your children today. Do it with a smile and with enthusiasm. Even when they misbehave be determined to change your greeting to reflect your love for them. 


~Be Empowered & LIVE~

Day 7

Love believes the best [Love] believes all things, hopes all things. —1 Corinthians 13:7 


TODAY’S DARE 


For today’s dare, get a sheet of paper. On the first one, spend a few minutes writing out positive things about yourself. At some point during the remainder of the day,  

pick a positive attribute from the list and thank God for having this characteristic. It's okay to celebrate what's on the inside of you☺️ #Created in His image #We are


~Be Empowered & LIVE~

Day 6

Love is not irritable. He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit, than he who captures a city.   —Proverbs 16:32


TODAY’S DARE 


Choose today to react to tough circumstances in loving ways instead of with irritation. Begin by making a list below of areas where you need to add margin to your schedule. Then list any wrong motivations that you need to release from your life. 


~Be Empowered & LIVE~

Day 5

Love is not rude. He who blesses his friend with a loud voice early in the morning, it will be reckoned a curse to  him. —Proverbs 27:14 


TODAY’S DARE 


Ladies, this may be a hard one but today I challenge you to ask your friends to tell you three things that cause them to be uncomfortable or irritated with you. You must do so without attacking them or justifying your behavior. This is from their perspective only. When they tell you then ask for a suggested gesture that you can consider moving forward.


~Be Empowered & LIVE~

Day 4

Love is thoughtful. How precious also are Your thoughts  to me.  . .  .How vast is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would outnumber the sand.   —Psalm  139:17–18 


If you're married or dating, contact your significant other sometime during the business of the day. Have no agenda other than asking how he or is doing and if there is anything you could do for them. If not married or dating, try this with your parents or best friend. 


~Be Empowered & LIVE~

Day 3

Love is not selfish. Be devoted to one another in sisterly love; give preference to one another in honor. Romans 12:10 


TODAY’S DARE 


Whatever you put your time, energy, and money  into  will become more important to you. It’s hard to care for something you are not investing in. Along with restraining from negative comments, buy someone something that says, “I  was thinking  of you today.” 


~Be Empowered & LIVE~

Day 2

Love is kind Be kind, tender-hearted, and forgiving, just as God  in Christ also has forgiven  you. —Ephesians  4:32 


TODAY’S DARE 


In addition to  saying nothing negative again today, do at least one unexpected  gesture as  an act of kindness. 


~Be Empowered & LIVE~

Day 1

Love is patient Be completely humble and  gentle;  be patient,  bearing  with others  in  love. —Ephesians 4:2  


TODAY’S DARE 


The first part of  this dare  is fairly  simple. Although love  is communicated  in a number of  ways,  our words often  reflect the condition of  our  heart. For the  next day,  resolve  to  demonstrate patience  and to  say  nothing  negative at all. If the temptation  arises, choose not to say anything. It’s  better to  hold  your tongue  than  to  say something  you’ll regret.

Spread the Love

Give those to life flowers while they're alive. Don't wait until they die to celebrate who they were. But let them know through words that say, "I do care".

The Trumpet

by Bill Burns


I keep hearing the voice of the Spirit saying, call My people to a position of understanding that their desire to know Me is greater today than it was yesterday and greater in these moments than it ever has been before.  Tell them to forget the troubling things that are behind. To forget all those heartaches and failures that they remember because the enemy brings condemnation to them. Let them forget those things and press on into the high calling of this season and of this age into My presence. And, if they will do so I will lead them out of the valley of destruction. And, I will bring them forth into the light and hope of that which I have designed for each and every one of them. This is what I am calling you into today. Come and be one with Me. Come and know Me.

Someone is at a place where you need to make a decision. Will I run or will I stay? Should I continue or look for a better way? Before you make a move out of haste, perhaps you should ask Holy Spirit what His plans are. He doesn't mind answering your hearts cry on any given day. But how will you know if you never ask? "How do I know"; you might say. The Word of God says that His Word is a light to our path and a lamp to our feet. Open your Word and allow the scriptures to freely speak. Look up verses that pertain to what you're in need of and ask Holy Spirit to reveal the secrets of His heart. He will provide just what you need to get through. Now breathe, trust Him to bring your mind to rest and peace, and with patience wait on it. For it will surely come to past. Now, remember ALWAYS to,

Press Into My Presence

by June Reinke

Press into My presence, says the LORD.  Come empty and hungry.  Thirst for ME, the living GOD.  Desire Me and seek My face!  Do not become satisfied with left over anointing!  I have fresh oil for you.  Do not eat stale bread. I have fresh bread for you to eat!  I will satisfy the hungry and refresh the thirsty.  I will not turn you away or give you a sip or teaspoon or crumb just to tease you. I will fill you to capacity and overflowing with My Holy Spirit and My power, and give you unspeakable joy, says the LORD.

Let Me give you everything that you need and be your total source, says the LORD.  For I have so much more for you than you can even fathom or contain.  I have more for you than you have asked or imagined.  I WILL DO more for you than you even thought.  For I desire to bless you and give you pleasures forevermore in My presence. I will lavish you with My love and surprise you with hidden treasures that will cause you to be amazed. It is pleasurable for Me to show you My faithfulness and load you with benefits.  It is My desire to take care of you and give you all things to enjoy.  I desire to be with you and fellowship with you.  My joy is exceeding as you seek Me with all your heart, and you be fully satisfied with My love, says the LORD.

Small Staws in a Soft Wind

by Marsha Burns:


Carefully consider your options for change.  Use discernment in finding help to achieve your goals.  Most of the people you encounter will be more concerned about what they can gain by helping you than caring about your interests.  Put your trust in Me to lead you in the way you should go.  I will take you through obstacles that would subvert your efforts, says the Lord.

The Word in Isaiah 1:18 gives us pardon for our sins [wrongful thinking, ungodly actions, waywardness]. The word that makes this a but and if clause is "come". This means we must take up our cross [whatever weighs us down, issues we face, whatever we carry in our hearts and mind] and make a conscious decision to move forward.


"Come now, let us reason together...Isa 1: 18)


And "if" we are willing and obedient "then" we will eat the good of the land; vs. 19. This doesn't mean to the letter of the law. For if we live by the letter we will be judged [also] by it. But if we use the wisdom of God in our daily walk and seek Him through the understanding of His Word, what we ask for we will receive guidance in which direction He would have us to take. We will know if our will lines up with His and if our desires align with the plans preconceived for our life. Invite Him in your decision's today. See won't He lead and guide you in all truth.


Matthew 16:24

Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.


Isaiah 1:18-19

[18] "Come now, and let us reason together," Says the LORD, "Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool. [19] If you are willing and obedient, You shall eat the good of the land


Galatians 2:19-20

[19] For I through the law died to the law that I might live to God [20] I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.


Psalm 119:105

Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.


James 1:5

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.


John 16:13

However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.

Change of Thought

Take control of your life. By changing what you say, thought pattern, and even people who add stress to your day. If you find yourself thinking  something that brings on stress, then stop, take a deep breath, and think on something joyful. Do not give negativity the time of day. Relax your mind and think on something new. That which brings joy to heart. No more stress or boggling thoughts. Only positive vibes. Now breathe and know everything will be okay.

Father wants us to have faith in all things. Have faith that what He promised He will bring to pass. Not only tangible [things seen] but intangibles; in realms of the heavenlies. No longer earthbound in what we see. Through grace justified by faith in our covenant relationship with Savior Lord; Jesus the Christ. We are heirs and joint-heirs with Him. So we no longer fight from positions to [win the] victory but to victory we have [already] overcome -- through the blood of the Lamb and words of our testimony.

I have undergirded you with the word of truth. Now allow the word of truth to take you on this journey of restoration. Be restored in My presence. Be restored by My word. For, this is the season you find yourself in. This is exactly what I have for you. I say to you, simply believe and allow My Spirit to bring you to a place of restoration so you can be all that you were designed to be, says the Lord.

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND

by MARSHA BURNS:

Discouragement and hopelessness will derail you from being on track with My Spirit, says the Lord.  Refuse to allow your emotions to take you down.  Bolster yourself in the kind of faith that defeats doubt and unbelief.  The enemy would have you question the reality of My kingdom and the power of My presence.  I am real and My word is true!

1 Samuel 12:24

Only fear the LORD, and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you.

Small Straws in a Soft Wind by Marsha Burns

You have been in a whirlwind of circumstances, which caused you to rethink your position on several fronts.  That flurry is virtually over, and you can now begin to stabilize. My desire is for you to further develop spiritual discernment. This will be a key element in your progression, says the Lord. I will speak to those who have ears to hear.

Mark 4:9
And He said to them, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear!"

Conform to Him

We don't have to conform to what people think about you or me, but it's what GOD designed us to be! This doesn't mean we'll turn out the way WE think we should be. But when we trust His lead and let His will be done our SHALL BE will be GREATER than what we imagined or could even think

Small Straws in a Soft Wind by Marsha Burns

Pull in your wandering thoughts by being aware of your mental process.  Bring your soul under the authority of Christ in every situation.  It is important for you to actually walk and live in the Spirit instead of allowing your flesh to rule.  Rise up in the spiritual realm and yield to My leading, says the Lord.  I want to keep you in the safety of My presence.  

2 Corinthians 10:5 
casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.

My Name is Victory

You can choose to let the situation get you down. Or make a choice to learn from it and STEP INTO a place of VICTORY! I choose the latter and so should YOU!

Remember ALWAYS to,

Small Straws in a Soft Wind by Marsha Burns

Get focused and stay focused.  Refuse to allow anyone or anything to distract you from the importance of what you have been given to do.  Chaos abounds as mental and emotional whirlwinds rage around you.  But, you must establish yourself in the peace that surpasses understanding, says the Lord.  Be strong and calm.

Hosea 8:7
They sow the wind, and reap the whirlwind. The stalk has no bud; it shall never produce meal. If it should produce, aliens would swallow it up.

It Is What It Is

Sometimes you just have to let it be what it's gonna be! Walking away or standing still does not mean you're giving up. It just means you know your boundaries #And it is what it is

Small Straws in a Soft Wind by Marsha Burns

You live in precariously us times, and it is more important than ever that you live in the Spirit.  Be alert and aware of the schemes of the enemy.  I am your refuge and place of safety at all times.  Trust Me to expose the danger around you and to keep you from harm, says the Lord.

Psalm 91:9
Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, even the Most High, your dwelling place, no evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling

Stay on Course

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND

by MARSHA BURNS:

Stay the course.  Be strong and refuse to deviate from what you know is right and good.  The problems that you face will be resolved in a few days, but you must be calm and do what you can to stay in order. Put your complete trust in Me to reveal the value of your recent challenges and to unveil your divine purpose, says the Lord. 

Psalms 20:4
May He grant you according to your heart's desire, and fulfill all your purpose.

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by MARSHA BURNS

Self-control is not only the fruit of My Spirit; it is a virtue.  Position yourself to exercise  restraint as you choose to walk in the Spirit, and everything will work out to your benefit.  I will lead you in the ways of righteousness and peace, says the Lord.  Trust Me to undertake on your behalf. 

Galatians 5:22-23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
