Make Me Smile

“How can you please Me, the Creator of the Universe? How can you get My attention and cause Me to brag about you to all the saints that came before you? How can you make Me smile?

By praising Me in the storm and not worrying.

Praise and thanksgiving comes easy in the good times, on the mountain tops, when the bills are paid and there is more than enough to go around - there is no sacrifice in this kind of praise, you are just demonstrating that you are not a spoiled brat.

Your praise and thanksgiving in the valleys, when your future is unclear and when there is just not enough to go around - that is sacrificial praise, that is the outward demonstration of your faith and that’s what makes Me smile.

Keep it up - you’ve got Me smiling 🙂 “

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭5‬-‭6‬

“By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, “and was not found, because God had taken him”; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God. But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”

‭‭Job‬ ‭1‬:‭8‬ ‭

“Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil?””

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭1‬-‭2‬

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.”

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭13‬:‭15‬

“Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name.”

Silence

“Ask Me to silence the noise of this world so You can hear My whisper - My words of wisdom, instruction, direction and hope.

I AM always speaking, but your focus needs to be on Me for you to hear Me clearly. You are not able to see Me in the physical realm so reading My lips is not an option. It’s in the silence that I can be heard.

Close your eyes, even for a moment and listen, I AM so close to You, you can and will hear My whispers, but first we must silence the noise - I can help you do that too, ask and you will receive.”

‭‭ ‭‭I Kings‬ ‭19‬:‭12‬

“and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.”

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.”

‭‭ Mark‬ ‭4‬:‭39‬

“Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.”

‭‭ Revelation‬ ‭1‬:‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet,”

Chapters

“Your life has and will continue to have many chapters. Each chapter has its highs and lows and feels like a lifetime when it is past, yet the experience, knowledge and wisdom you gain in each is essential for My making you who you are today and who I plan for you to become.

There is no skipping chapters, all are needed to fulfill the plans I have for you. Your destiny starts with a journey and ends with Me.

Enjoy this new chapter, enjoy the journey, trust Me to be with you in all the highs and the lows. Your eyes have not seen nor can you imagine the wonderful plans I have for you.

Welcome to your next chapter, it’s going to be good because I AM good.”

Perfect Steps

“You seek direction, you seek understanding, you want to know where this is all leading and what you need to do to get you there.

I know where you are headed and I know how to get you there - you only need to know the next step, and I AM faithful to show you.

Yes you need to do your part - take that next step I show you to do; obedience and faith are taking steps when you know not where they lead.

If you stay close to Me you will never make a wrong step. You know you remain close to Me so step out in confidence.

And should your flesh lead you to make an occasional mis-step, My grace is sufficient to even make your mis-steps perfect steps.”

Seeing Heart

“I have given you a heart to see.

I live in your heart and I AM able to see the physical and spiritual realms with perfect clarity; good and evil, light and darkness, truth and lies - I see it all.

What I see I can and will reveal to you - just ask.”

Matthew‬ ‭13‬:‭15‬

“For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, And their eyes they have closed, Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them.’”

“When Jesus departed from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out and saying, “Son of David, have mercy on us!” And when He had come into the house, the blind men came to Him. And Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.” Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith let it be to you.””

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭7‬-‭8‬ ‭

‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭2‬:‭10‬

“But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.”
