Darkness Was Never Intended for You

Darkness was never intended for you,
Your Father never intended for you to be surrounded by darkness.

You say,
"Darkness is my friend. It is all I know or have known for so long..."

But the cry of your heart is..."Help, I am suffocating!"

My friend, there is HOPE.

All the questions,
All the doubts,
All the accusations you have thrown at your God, your Creator, the One who loved you into being,,,

He hears,
And He forgives...

He looks at you dear one,
And desires wholeness, desires freedom. desires restoration for you.

All the lies the enemy has dumped upon you,
All the broken promises, traps, and hidden snares,
Have only brought you deeper into your darkness...
His intent,
To strangle, steal, destroy, and crumble your dreams and destiny.

But the greatness that was placed in you by your Creator,
Cries out,
It cries out for freedom...

My friend, the One you have been rejecting is your source of HOPE.

He sees all,
Yet passionately loves you and wants you to discover His Help.
He has provided a way for your rescue,
He has paid the price for your freedom, your victory, your wholeness.

Come to Him,
Call out to Him,
Believe that your God is good, 
Believe that He paid the price for your shame and guilt,
Believe and receive the gift of this One,
Jesus.
He is Light.
When you receive His gift of love...
The chains of darkness will fall.
His love sweeps it all clean.
His love restores,
His love returns,
His love conquers,
His love always wins...

Friend, believe that your God is good,
Believe that He loves you,
Believe that He is life, He is Light, He is the way out,
Believe that He is your HOPE

His faithful, steadfast love will never fail you!

He Fully Wants Me

He fully wants me,
He wants to reach into my heart,
Have my permission to unlock,
Open it up...to more of Him...more of His goodness.

He whispers,
"You have only begun...even in your weakness of faith...
 Could you open up your heart, my beloved, to receive more of Me?
 In your inability to hope, to see past today...
 I want you to know more of Me...
 So you can dream with expectation again.
 Any pleasure you have experienced, any delight you have realized,
 Is nothing compared to the "more" that I have for you."

"Precious one," He continues, "I delight for you to have Me fully!"

Promise of Blessing

The Father has a promise of blessing over your life.
Can you hear the promise of blessing that He speaks to you?
Tenderly He calls your name...and loves you right where you are.

He blesses you with the promise of who He wants to be for you,
He blesses you with strength, as He says, "I am your Strength."
He blesses you with peace as He whispers, "I am your Peace."
He blesses you with wisdom and revelation as He reveals His secrets to you,
He blesses you with comfort as He becomes your Comforter,
He blesses you with health as He becomes your Healer.

He promises to bless you with His love forever,
Forever He will be with you...
Forever He will be on your side...
Forever He will bless you with His presence, His grace, His favor...

Maybe life has you in a place now that you do not see or hear these blessings...

Look up, precious one,
Can you see the gaze of your Creator, can you see His smile?

He loves you and accepts you as you are.
He invites you to, "Come to Him"
Come to Him so He can be all you need today.

He is your Promise...
He is your Hope...
He sees the next chapter,
And He offers you all the blessings of heaven...

Do Not Be Afraid

What do you see today?
Does the mountain before you appear huge, impassable?
Do all your troubles seem to cover the landscape, like sand on the seashore?

The Lord sees something different...
He comes and says, "Do not be afraid."

"I am with you today." He reminds me.
"I know what will happen to those enemies, those troubles,
 You can not see...but I can...I know,
 And I come to you now to remind you, "

 "Do Not Be Afraid!!!"

"I am with you on this journey,
 I will fight for you...sustain you... be right there beside you to provide for your every need.
 Tomorrow is in My hands,
 Tomorrow is in My vision...clearly...
 I see victory!!!
 Trust
 Do not be afraid!!"

Joshua 11:4-8

Restoring Love

I thank you, Father, for Your love that desires so deeply for me to be whole,
That love that offers me chance after chance after chance...
That love that never gives up,
That love that desires for me to come and receive the entire GIFT.
That love that wins,
Wins over the enemy and his destructive plans,
That love that offers RESTORATION.

Restoration love that returns what the enemy has stolen...
Restoration love that restores not only to the degree of the prior...
But restores to so much more than even dreamed...

Your restoring love, Father
Restores my soul to wholeness,
Restores relationships,
Restores my strength, my hope, my peace, my joy...

Yes, Your love restores my destiny...

Restoring love that preserves
Restoring love that surpasses dreams...

Thank you Father for Your restoring love!

My Tied-up Bundle

That tied-up bundle of His suffering love,
I need to keep near,
Close, so I can remember and partake...

Yes, especially in the night, the dark times, when the world seems cruel...

I need to have my bundle, my tied-up bundle,
Right there on my chest,
So I can breathe in that suffering love,
So I can breathe in the sweet henna blossoms of His longings and desire for me,
So I can remember His suffering love and the work that He did for me on the cross,
The work He accomplished so He could have me in this life union, this constant companionship with
     Him,
This work He accomplished so I could be forgiven, healed, restored, free from the addiction,
     free from the torment.

Yes, the finished work of the Lamb,
Who poured out a never-ending fountain of provision with His blood,
Suffering because of that great love He had for us...
That sweet bundle of myrrh...
Fragrant with suffering redeeming love...
I breathe you in...remember..and partake...right now.

"My Lover is to me like a tied-up bundle of myrrh resting over my heart throughout the night."
 Song of Songs 1:13 TPT

Your Strength

I find strength when I wait upon You, God,
When I let You into my world,
When I let You do what You want to do,
When I let You be there for my every need...

Then Your strength comes to me.
Your strength is totally different than mine.
My strength tries and tries, works and works, strives and strives,
But it never obtains the desired result.

But You offer Your strength to me...
Your strength is powerful, mighty, tender, and kind.
Your strength changes my way of thinking,
Your strength removes the fear,
Your strength renews hope, and brightens the day,
Your strength raises faith and allows me to trust.
Your strength moves me forward...in peace...in thanksgiving...in victory,
Your strength heals,
Your strength brings the brightness of Your Light and dispels the darkness.

Your Strength,
Supernatural strength,
Strength given from the passion of Your heart of love,
From Your Daddy heart to me, Your child.

Yes, Father, Your strength becomes my song, my song of joy.

Psalms 59:16 "Your strength God, shall be my song of joy, each and every morning.
