The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works—Psalms 145:9

Merciful God

You and I, need to know within ourselves; not just have head knowledge, but know deep within the crevices of our hearts that no matter who says what, no matter what twists and turns come our way, that our God is faithful, just, and true to His word. He loves us with a love that surpasses all that we know and understand. He cares so much about us, that He tells us to cast our cares on him. He promised to never leave nor forsake us. If we face job loss on a beautiful sunny day, does the day turn stormy, windy, rainy and cold, or are we able through Christ to see it as it really is? According to the word of God, we shall have what we say. We have to choose carefully what we let come out of our mouths.

Change in our relationship with Him happens because we moved. Whether the move takes place in our hearts, our thinking, or a physical walk away from Him, we are the ones who carved the wedge and placed it between ourselves and Him. We move when we stop saying what God says,stop living as He says etc. God is in control and He is the author and finisher of our faith. There is nothing that goes on with us, that catches Him by surprise. So, if we lose our job, it is not because He wants us to suffer or because He wants us poor. Maybe He wants to take us to new heights and now we have the knowledge needed to handle the new position. He knows what we have need before we ask. Are we asking? Do we always know what we need? I know that I don’t.

He doesn’t want us living in lack, hungry, sick, broke, busted and disgusted. He takes pleasure in the prosperity of His servants--Psalms 35:27. Our God, the great I AM, can do a ‘suddenly’ in our lives and command the blessing to break forth at any time. It has already been commanded, but it is waiting for us to catch up. Are you ready? Please understand that although your body may be hurting, or your finances may not fruitfully multiplying; because of the promises of God, we can stand on His word and claim what He says is already ours.

I can hear some of you already saying, “But I trust the Lord, I study the word, I do as He says, I don’t see so and so having it so easy”. It is not going to be easy. There are saints who don’t know the word of God, and those who know it, but choose not to live by it. satan has no problem with them, because they are already living defeated lives. They are like the disciples in John 6:66, who went back, and walked with Jesus no more. But, to you the faithful to God, who know and stand on His word, who pray and seek Him, you are a threat to the kingdom of darkness. he comes at you so hard, because he wants to shut you down. He keeps putting distorted images in front of you, trying to sow seeds of doubt and unbelief in your life. Keep fighting the good fight of faith. Keep meditating on the word You will see the salvation of the Lord, faithful is our God almighty.

Keep standing, keep praying, praising, thanking and blessing His name! Resolve above all to stand, and if you ask, He will give you the strength to do so! Now, after all that you have gone through, is your day ruined? Can you thank Him for what He is about to ‘suddenly’ do in your life? Your future’s so bright, you have to wear shades!

God bless,
Pamyla

What do you see?

Father in the name of Jesus we come with thanksgiving and praise to your name! We thank you for being our healer, our provider, our strength, our peace, and our joy. We praise you for all that you are, and for all that you have done, in Jesus name. AMEN

For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever -- Genesis 13:15

I know that I have said it many times before, but all of us regardless of who we are, will face undesirable situations and circumstances in our walk. No one ever said it was going to be easy, peachy and trouble free. If you are one of the few who believed this, then please let me apologize. Whether the challenge is in our relationships, finances, our health or other areas, we must have faith in God, and believe that He will see us through. God told Abram that He would give him all the land that he saw, both to him and to his seed forever. I received an awesome revelation concerning this scripture. In my daily prayer time, I had been seeking the Lord about the things we see (our land).

You see, it really doesn’t matter what is going on around us. What matters is our reaction or default. Our outcome greatly depends on what we say or do. First we must believe that God is, and because He exists, He is who He says he is. Next, we need to know his word. It is through His word that we come to know Him, and to know that the word of God is our sword. Everything else changes, but God’s word never changes. Now because we know that His word never changes, we also know that we can stand on His word. What promises are you standing on?

We have to have faith that sees past our circumstances. So if you have faith, what do you see? Some of you may be faced with health challenges. Do you see yourself stuck in that place and getting worse, or do you see yourself happy, healed and whole? If your relationships are in disarray, do you see them staying that way, or can you see them reconciled, and successful to all involved? What do you see? We mustn’t forget that Jesus is our advocate, and intercedes on our behalf.

He took our place on the cross, so that we could ‘see’ beyond our circumstances, and over into the Promised Land. Because of what he did, we have a hope and a future. He could have come down, but love kept Him there. We have an adversary who is relentless, using lies and deception, to make us fall away from the truth. What is the truth? The truth is that Jesus promised to never leave nor forsake us, that there are more who stand with us, than those who are against us; that we are joint heirs with Christ, and that we are the seed of Abraham, and that we win!

Does knowing all of this makes things easier? No. But we are told to work out our salvation. Remember satan was in heaven at one time, so he knows how God loves us, and that he has wonderful plans for us. If we don’t know what God says about us, we will be defeated every time. Following are some ways to change our view and begin seeing differently.

Know. Meditate. Think. Stand
1. We have to know what the word of God says for ourselves ¬- So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God—Romans 10:17

2. We have to meditate on the word - This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success – Joshua 1:8

3. Our thinking needs to line up with the word of God - As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he? Proverbs 23:7a

4. We stand on what we know to be true - Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand – Ephesians 6:13

If we are hearing the right things (the word of God) our faith increases. If we are thinking (meditating) on the right things, we will see them come to life. By the same token, if we meditate on the wrong things, we will see them come to life. For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me-- Job 3:25. Now what do you see?

God bless,

Genesis 8:22 – While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease

I pray that the new Year be an extension of the prosperity, promise, promotion and newness of life that began in 2010. Stay watchful and be prayerful, for those diligent in Christ shall see the breakthrough of the signs that were seen. The transfer of wealth has begun.

Only those in the right place, doing the right things with the right heart will receive the manifested blessings of overabundance promised in Eph 3:20.

Be quiet, listen to the Holy Spirit, be tender when you answer Pro 15:1, Pro 16:1

Now is not the time to get out of character if someone does not respond the way you anticipated. Remember, that WHATSOEVER you do, do it heartily as unto the Lord, and not unto men. Col 3:23

Step outside of yourself, and in faith, bless someone else the way you NEED to be blessed. Do not despise small beginnings, a dollar can still go a long way! – Pro 19:17

Be moved by God and know that sometimes, to some of us, He may say, just stand still. Whatever He says to do, do it without hesitation, murmuring or hardness of heart. It may not look, feel or taste right, but God is never wrong! – Pro 3:5-6

Forgive everyone of everything! This keeps many of us in lack, without and struggling year after year. The Lord our God is always looking to bless us – II Chron 16:9

Encourage someone, teach someone how to stand on their own two feet, not continue to live hand to mouth – Heb 10:24

Believe that you receive when you pray in Jesus name – Mark 11:24, I John 5:14-15

Spend time alone with the Lord forging a personal relationship. Humble yourself, recognize the need for a risen saviour and Keep Him first in your life. The transformation will be one that shall continue to unfold in ways that astonish and amaze you all the days of your life -- Deu 11: 13-14

Remain faithful, don't be consumed with your circumstances nor be moved by what you see or hear. God can do ANYTHING! Trust Him when your back is up against the wall, when things look dire, when it seems that there is no way. TRUST and He will do the impossible -- II Chron 20:1-7, 12-13, (key verse) 15

2011--Eleven is perfect organization plus one extra. One more than required, an extra measure, something more than only what is required. Eleven is the number of revelation

God bless,
Pamyla
