Your Answered Prayer is Ready and Waiting

Hope
Do you ever feel as if your prayers dissolve into the vast expanse without reply?

Sometimes, you may repeatedly ask me for the same thing, which can demonstrate dogged determination and persistence, as illustrated in the parable of the persistent widow who continually seeks justice from the judge (Luke 18:1-8). However, anxiously repeated prayers can also indicate a lack of faith, as if you doubt that I have heard you or that I will respond.

Instead, try to ask once in faith for whatever you need, and from then on, thank me for moving and acting on your behalf. Believe that your request is already fulfilled in the spiritual realm and is merely waiting to be manifested in the realm of time and space.

Therefore, pray in faith and then express gratitude that the answer is ready and on its way.

"Then they asked him, 'What must we do to do the works God requires?' Jesus answered, 'The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent'" (John 6:27-28).

The Rat, the Bomb, and the Brave Heart: Lessons from a Fearless Rodent




🔍 The Practice of Peace

Here’s how fear loses its grip: You face it. With Me. Boldly.

Think of the worst-case scenario—not to dwell there, but to disarm it. Ask yourself:
  • What would I do if this happened?
  • What would God do?
  • Would I survive? And if not, what then?

I’ll be in every answer. Every possibility. Every outcome.

The trick isn’t to pretend you’re invincible. It’s to remember I’m immovable. You won’t face the storm alone—I’ll face it with you.


🎯 Believe for the Best

Once you've sat with the fear and invited Me in... then lift your eyes.

Hope isn’t naïve—it’s sacred. You were created to imagine beauty, to dream of healing, to believe in goodness. That’s Me, breathing through you.

So I ask you to live wisely:
  • Prepare for what might go wrong
  • Believe for the most beautiful outcome 
  • And rest with Me between the two—where faith breathes and fear dissolves

🕊️ Final Word: You’re Not Alone on the Bomb

Fear loses its grip when you walk into the worst-case scenario—with Me in the room.

I never said you’d avoid the valley of the shadow. I said I would lead you through it—and you would never be alone.

So go ahead. Imagine the worst, and let Me show you how you’d survive, heal, or be held. Then lift your eyes, and believe for the best. That’s not presumption—it’s hope, rooted in My goodness.

Prepare for the storm with Me. Believe for the breakthrough with Me. And sit beside Me on whatever bomb life tries to place beneath you.

I hold both outcomes. And I hold you

Quashing the voices of disapproval


 My child, So many of you carry the ache of others’ disapproval. You feel the sting of human judgment and wonder if it reflects the truth. But listen to the Scripture: “Who will accuse those whom God has chosen? God has approved of them. Who will condemn them?” (Romans 8:33-34 GWT).

Repeat those words any time you feel disapproval, and the Word of God will set you free. Let them echo through your soul. I am the One who holds the gavel—and I have declared you innocent. Washed in My blood, you are accepted, covered, and cherished. The opinions of others—even your own harsh inner voice—hold no power beside My verdict.

When their words unsettle you … when your thoughts accuse… return to Me. Whisper it aloud if you must: “God approves of me, who will condemn? God approves of me, who will condemn?”


Of course, the answer to that is no one. No one, not the most spiteful person, has the right to contradict what I say is true.

I do not condemn you. I intercede for you. I plead your cause continually, not out of obligation but out of boundless love. My death and resurrection secured your freedom, and nothing—nothing—can separate you from My love.

So rest, beloved. Trust My approval above every voice. It is enough. With love that cannot be undone, – Jesus

Shattered Yet Rising


When you falter—when it feels like everything has fallen apart, even by your own hand—I remain. I am the One who forgives, who rebuilds, who breathes life into what seems lost. One of My greatest joys is turning ashes into wonder (Isaiah 61:3).

Like a tender bloom rising from shattered shell, what looks like the end is often the beginning— a quiet unfolding of something new, something unimagined, something that will one day make you smile in awe.

With love beyond measure,

Your Secret Identity is the Cure for Guilt

 

Newborn foal snuggling her mother with text overlay: Now you are ‘born again,’ fresh as a newborn colt and as innocent as a babe adored by its mother (John 3:3)

Many of My children say they are just sinners saved by grace. Untrue. You were a sinner; you are now saved by grace. And because of that, you are quintessentially good.

Are you overwhelmed with guilt? My apostle, Paul, agonized over his own sin. In Romans 7:24, he cries out: "Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death?"

But the identity of sin in Romans 7 is no longer yours. The moment you received Me, everything changed—you now live in My victory and freedom.

In fact, Paul goes even further: He says that when he sins, it is no longer him! "So I am not the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it." (Romans 7:17) "But if I do what I don’t want to do, I am not really the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it." (Romans 7:20)

How can this be? It means being a sinner is no longer Paul’s identity (or your own identity) at his core. His true self—and your true self—has been recreated to be the righteousness of God in Me (2 Corinthians 5:21 GNT). There is now no condemnation for those who are in Me.

Approach Me without fear—freedom from guilt is My gift to you, and like any gift, the giver desires that you delight in it.

Though at times you sin, goodness is now your true identity—the core of who you are. Your feelings about yourself, may waver, but truth does not change. Now you are ‘born again,’ fresh as a newborn colt and as innocent as a babe adored by its mother (John 3:3).

The struggle with sin in Romans 7 is over—now you live in the victory and freedom of Romans 8. Rejoice and abide in Me, for you are safe and fully acceptable.

Do you believe that I have fully freed you from guilt? What holds you back from embracing your true identity in Me?

With love beyond measure,

Spiritual Imagination: Praying in Pictures

A beaujtiful luxurious tropical waterfall with the text: Dear child, When your anxiety seems overwhelming, remember I am there, closer than the air you breathe and the tears you cry. I am pouring My comforts abundantly down upon you. Imagine My Holy Spirit rushing down, surrounding you and filling you, like a divine waterfall. Spiritual imagination is simply praying in pictures. You don’t always have to use words for Me to hear and understand you. Sometimes your deepest needs are beyond human language  (Romans 8:26; Psalm 94:19)



Psalm 94:19 NKJV
"In the multitude of my anxieties within me, Your comforts delight my soul."

Romans 8:26 AMPC
"So too the Holy Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weakness; for we do not know what prayer to offer nor how to offer it worthily as we ought, but the Spirit Himself goes to meet our supplication and pleads in our behalf with unspeakable yearnings and groanings too deep for utterance."

How to Move a Mountain with a Mustard Seed

Do you bemoan your lack of faith? Are you trying to muster it up but find yourself still full of doubts?

Life brings mountainous challenges that can feel too difficult to climb. Whether it's a troubled marriage, an illness, or a financial difficulty, you can become overwhelmed and feel powerless.. 

Faith is not the absence of doubt. Instead, imagine the faith you think you need, and take 5% of that. It is all I require. That tiny “mustard seed” of faith can grow into something magnificent. It is what moves mountains (Matthew 17:20). Faith is not about size but sincerity.

Even the smallest seed of faith can grow into something magnificent. Every step, no matter how small, is a step toward moving that mountain. Your tiny faith is powerful enough to change the world.

 "…If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you" (Matthew 17:20).

Please leave a comment below on your experience with faith or doubt.

With love beyond measure,

Lift Your Eyes Beyond Life's Battles: A Vision of Hope


 
Gaze beyond. Lift your eyes from the daily battles—the wounds, the flaws, and the regrets—and peer into eternity. Those who endure the deepest suffering on this earth are chosen for a breathtaking destiny (2 Corinthians 4:17). In this temporary, sometimes arduous existence, you are molding and enriching your eternity through your attitudes and responses.

Focusing on possibilities and solutions while maintaining hope and finding joy in the present creates a sense of gratitude and purpose. I find pleasure in such attitudes from you (Hebrews 11:6). Failures are just feedback and opportunity for

Tossed But Not Torn: Deliverance from the Storm


Oh, My precious child, tossed and torn, weary and bruised. I am with you, now and always, to heal your wounds and calm your storm.

 Life's storms can strike without warning, leaving you feeling lost and overwhelmed, like a ship battling raging waves in the dead of night. But even in the fiercest tempest, I am a Light that never falters. Your emotions may scream that you are about to lose everything. You may be tossed every which way until you lose your sense of direction. But I am the Lighthouse. I am the Light that shows you the way. I am with you in the storm, yet I am never tossed about. Instead, I am anchored on solid ground, unwavering, guiding you safely Home.

If you will fix your eyes on My Light, on Me, and make one small positive choice, you will reach your destination. You will find safety. You will find deliverance. For as it is written, "The righteous may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all."
