My children, build up your faith in Me this day. Remember that I am the God that provided for My children when I got them released from Egypt. Remember that I am the God that gave Joshua direct instructions on how to tear down the walls of Jericho. Remember that I am the God who has performed miracle after miracle for My people. Remember that I am the God who sent My only begotten Son to this Earthly realm to suffer and die for your sins, that you, too can be reunited with Me your father. I am the same God today as I was back then and I have not changed. If I can provide for the birds of the air, I will provide for the ones that I have created and have breathed My breath into.
You are falling into the traps of My children that I saved from Egypt. You complain for everything you don’t have. Yet your faith is so small to believe for more than you do have. I provide things for you, and you forget as fast as they came. You decide that it is not enough. You make up your mind that I can do some things, but not all. This is not the mindset that I have instructed you to have.
You refuse to do the things that I have instructed you to do, yet you still want to receive the reward of what was promised. And when you do what I have instructed, you ask Me of things you need, but then you do not keep your faith were it needs to be to receive what you are in need of. You take it back into your own hands instead of trusting Me that I will provide it for you when the time is right. But you blame Me for not providing for you.
You have started to have a heart of complaining instead of praising Me. I have told you before, My timing is not your timing. You must put your faith and trust in Me that I am a father that will take care of My children. You must do this thing this day.
Do not become ungrateful children. Do not become lazy and disobedient children. You will see those who you think do not have much, are very rich. You will see those who you think have a lot, are very poor.
Those who do not have much become thankful for the little they have. As they continue to praise Me for what they have, as they continue to praise Me with what they get blessed with, as they continue to use in the fullness of what they receive, their blessings will multiply because they will know that it is I the Lord their God that is doing these things for them and they give Me all the glory and all the praise. If I make them rich in the land quickly they will soon forget the things I have done for them. There are others that are simply doing My work and great will be their reward for waiting and when the season is over.
For those who have a lot are not content with what they have. They are becoming ungrateful and full of “what about me”. They come to Me complaining and letting what they do have go to waste. Do not judge the poor and say I am not moving in their behalves or blessing them, for this is a sign that you need to seek My face and see what is dark in your heart that I need to cleanse you of before this darkness over takes this land. Do not allow these things to hold yourself back from what I want to bless you with or keep you from My protection. Do not question the things that I am doing. The praises of rich and judgmental, their lips have become dead because their mouths are full of self instead of praying and interceding for others.
I will not bless ungrateful and selfish children who are also disobedient and lazy. You must get your eyes off of yourself and put them on Me so I can open your eyes to the needs of others that I need you to stand in the gap for. As you do this you will then begin to see what you have, you have a lot of in Me. You will see that I am giving you instruction on getting yourself right in Me so I can bless you and protect you from all things coming in the near future. I can give you more of an abundance because you will have given Me the honor and glory for all that I have given you and you will have become grateful and ready to receive more and use it wisely. I have a work to be done and I desire to use you, but I cannot until your heart and mind is corrected.
Put praises of Me back into your hearts and allow them to flow from your lips. Become alive in Me with your praises. Get your faith and trust back into Me and know that I will provide every need as you need it. Keep it in My hands. Pray for one another and do not become self-centered.
Today allow your faith to grow more in Me that I am God and I will provide for My children. Allow your faith to grow in Me and know that I am the same God today as I always have been. Those things I have done for My other children I will do for you. Be willing to pay the price to follow Me. Leave your needs in My hands and trust that I will do the rest. I am your father of compassion and willingness to take care of My children. Put your faith in Me and do not waiver. Praise Me for the things I have done and going to do.
Psalm 103 (NIV)
1 Praise the Lord, my soul;
all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
2 Praise the Lord, my soul,
and forget not all his benefits—
3 who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,
4 who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,
5 who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
6 The Lord works righteousness
and justice for all the oppressed.
7 He made known his ways to Moses,
his deeds to the people of Israel:
8 The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger, abounding in love.
9 He will not always accuse,
nor will he harbor his anger forever;
10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve
or repay us according to our iniquities.
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his love for those who fear him;
12 as far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
13 As a father has compassion on his children,
so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;
14 for he knows how we are formed,
he remembers that we are dust.
15 The life of mortals is like grass,
they flourish like a flower of the field;
16 the wind blows over it and it is gone,
and its place remembers it no more.
17 But from everlasting to everlasting
the Lord’s love is with those who fear him,
and his righteousness with their children’s children—
18 with those who keep his covenant
and remember to obey his precepts.
19 The Lord has established his throne in heaven,
and his kingdom rules over all.
20 Praise the Lord, you his angels,
you mighty ones who do his bidding,
who obey his word.
21 Praise the Lord, all his heavenly hosts,
you his servants who do his will.
22 Praise the Lord, all his works
everywhere in his dominion.
Praise the Lord, my soul.
James 1:17 (NIV)
17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
