God Speaks I Listen

It’s 6 am and as soon as I started to seek the Lord I realize I’m feeling happy in my spirit. As singer James Brown says in one of his most famous songs “I feel Good”.  How can this be?  This morning I have a painful sinus infection so I’ll be seeing my doctor today, I suffer daily with many medical conditions and have to take a lot of medication, I’ve had past financial catastrophes that are still hanging over my head,, my mom just passed in February of this year, my car is 14 years old…and on and on…. need I say more.

But despite all this I AM HAPPY!!! Why, how can this be?  I have put my trust in God and He has given me His peace and strength. I live off of His daily mercies and I’m filled with His amazing grace.

My mother in law who is with the Lord now…..Alice Nemley…..suffered with so many physical ailments. She had too many surgeries and hospitalizations to count.  One of her most challenging problems was congestive heart failure.  She would go into cardiac arrest on several occasions and had to be put on life support, but she always survived. I could not believe all she went through. One day I asked her “mom how do you go through all of this and still keep going?” She paused and the handed me a small book. I felt like Dorothy in the wizard of Oz when she was looking for answers.  The name of this book was….Asked for Healing Given Grace by Margaret James. This book is still available, Here’s the link:

Asked for Healing…Given Grace

I was like……I asked you this deep question and you give me this little book. ( I only thought that I didn’t say it out loud)  I glanced through it briefly but didn’t look at it until just a few years ago.
I remember being very sick and thinking that this was just too much for me and that little book turned up while I looking in a draw for something.  I sat down and read that book all in one sitting and cried. What a healing in my heart and spirit man that day.  I have thought  a lot about  my mother in law….Alice Nemley….. and what she bravely went through.   I didn’t know it then that she had given me such a wonderful gift.  I got her message to me after all!
God knew just when I would need that book. He saw it in my future and made sure it turned up just at the right time. To God be all the Glory!
So yes…I’m going through a lot………BUT……..GOD!!!!! I can’t say enough good about Him so I’ll just say BUT GOD.  I want to leave you with some scriptures:

Isaiah 26:3 You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You.

 Lamentations 3:22-23    Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. 23 They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

Psalms 23:4   Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Message for today: You can be happy in your trials….. if you trust God…..read the scriptures…..and pray!
You’ll be smiling in no time!!!

1 Peter 5:8  Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

I woke up this morning feeling… I am in a battle!  Well I am and you are too. Although I’m feeling the warfare all around me I know I’m equipped for this battle. I feel the presence of the Holy Spirit, I have the Rhema word hidden in my heart and I know there are angels all around me.   Jesus has already won the battle , He intercedes to God on my behalf and I KNOW God is watching over me!

Our enemy is real and He is the devil AKA satan.  Do you want to know what in Hell is going on? Well the devil is causing a lot of chaos this year 2011. Everywhere you turn you can see his little handy work. The Lord is speaking to me loud and clear not to be intimidated by his tricks and scare tactics. Gods is saying “ Be alert” !!!!!!!!”

If you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior and turned from your wicked ways then you should be scared….very very scared!

If you are a Christian have no fear.  I want to share this true God-dream with you that I had in 1984 the year I accepted Christ. There are just dreams, but this was a God dream of instruction and deliverance for me.

When I became a Christian I started having dreams and visions right away.  I felt God’s presence in a powerful way but I also felt the presence of the devil. In fact I was so scared that I had to wake my husband up to take me to the bathroom at night.  In one of my early God-dreams  I saw myself running from a dog. It was a german shepherd. You see I was chased by a german shepherd when I was a child and was so afraid of any dog.

I kept having these dreams and I finally told a brother in my church that was very wise in the Lord.  I told him how scared I was and He said “don’t be”.  He said the devil does not have power over me and can be defeated by saying the name of Jesus. He told me a story of the devil appearing to Smith Wigglesworth one night and how he rolled over and saw satan sitting on his bed and said” oh it’s just you” and he turned back over and went to sleep. Well that night I was sooo scared that my husband had to escort me to the bathroom. LOL

But soon after I had another dream and of course the devil in the form of a dog was chasing me…but this time I didn’t run…I turned around and said” be gone in the name of Jesus” and in an instant  the dog was gone.
I was never afraid of the devil after that dream. I got the message and the victory!!

So what in hell is going on? You guessed it….the devil and his little cohorts are causing all this mess!!! His efforts are stepping up to destroy people’s lives and to drag as many people to hell that he can get BUT because of JESUS CHRIST he is defeated!!!   You need to be a child of God by accepting Jesus Christ as you personal Lord and Savior, pray and fast. Read your bible and get the word of God in you.  Submit yourself to God and obey Him.

Study this scripture and do it…… in fact… memorize it:

Ephesians 6:10-18   10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Message for today:  The devil’s got a plan…..but you know the man!!!  
I have a special message today for someone who is reading this.  I don’t know who you are but God does:

Don’t feel defeated…the Lord says to you…”I am with you and have always been. You have been in hard trials lately but I’m right there with you. I have seen those tears and heard the moans, but know this: I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS…you are NOT alone in this. I have dispatched a host of angels just to watch over you. There is a purpose for this battle in your life. I will reveal some things now but many things you will not understand. Wait and be patient dear one. Cheer up and hold on. I have my powerful hand extended to you. I will lead you and I will guide you through this difficulty. You will get the victory! You will see my plan come together. My will will be done! Wait on me!  Wait for me to move. I am revealing myself to you to keep you focused as you await for my blessing. Wait I AM here! I love you so. From the Lord of host….”
