God our Father speaks prophecy:
Call out to me my children when you are sad and frustrated. I am here for you in times of celebration and loss. Cry unto me and I will heal your hearts, for I am present to help. The ways of the world are harsh and darkness has taken root. Be not lost in the world my children, but become bathed in my light, and goodness and mercy shall follow you all the days of your lives. Stand in my grace and I will bless and keep you.
The beauty of this life is in all I have made to delight your senses, and there is refreshing there. The majesty of snow covered mountain peaks and the gentle dance of leaves from a breeze that sparkle in the sunlight are designed to bring you peace. Come away from the pressures of the world and rest in me. Know that I am longing to speak words of love and wholeness unto you each day. Look into my word and meditate therein.
You are not alone for I am with you. I have said that I will never leave you nor forsake you, but many have forsaken their God. Many have turned to worship other Gods, those of finance and entertainment. Playing games of death and destruction rather than spending a few minutes with me. Turn off the screens that distract you and come unto me for true joy and answers of peace. Take this opportunity and trust that my ways are higher than man’s. Turn away from the world and sit with me. Press through your doubts and stay your minds on me. Be still.
Do not resist me, but embrace my love, help and deliverance. Trust me and learn of me, for I am a good God, and I will not disappoint you. Let go of your toys, your junkie foods and all that you find comfort in, and turn to me instead. A walk in the park and a glass of clean water will do far more to refresh you than a frozen pizza and a violent movie. Turn toward me and my leading and you will find true health and true peace.

A Word of Encouragement
Our God is good always and a VERY PRESSENT help in trouble. Wow, do we have some troubles! This is the perfect time to turn from the distractions of the world and unto God’s word and his wisdom. He is the creator of all and knows all. We need to leave the ways of the world’s darkness behind and run to him for help and rescue. Let’s put away our childish toys and pick up our Bibles. We need our God now, more than ever. He is our peace and health and prosperity today and forever!
An Action Item
God is waiting to spend time with us. He is always available and waiting with open arms, resources, answers and great power to deliver us. Let’s give Him a few more minutes today. Trust Him with every care and concern. Lay our thanks and requests at His feet and ask for what we need. It could be as simple as praying for a few minutes before we eat or drink each time today. Ask Him to bless the food and water we have to enjoy. Pause, be still and turn to God for peace and health.
Victories and Blessings
January is the season to eat our veggies and drink more clean water. We heard from one of our faithful men that he had lost over 70 lbs. of excess weight! Now that is some great believing in action. Congratulations and thank you for being such a wonderful example to the family of God.
Please share some of your victories, blessings and prayer requests so others can rejoice and believe with you.
