Divine Direction Mindset From Our God

Be reminded of the word that shall come to pass in 2018

 

The Lord spoke to me concerning 2018  through this sign. He said:

"This coming year is a year to remember My promises, no matter what you see happening around you – My promises are sure and they will prevail for those who believe.

"Tumult, shakings, and turmoil will fill the earth, and the Word and ways of God will be challenged on many fronts. But those who stand on My Word and live by My promises will be blessed beyond measure.

"I am inviting you to make a quality decision to live ONLY by My Word and promises. If you choose this direction, I will bring you into an abundant place and you will stand secure and blessed in the midst of an evil day. I will lead you into fields that are white with harvest. I will lead you into fruitfulness.

"Your life is in My hands. I am the Captain of your ship and I will lead you through the channel of promises into a glorious place. Remember My promises in 2018."

 

 

God is still here

 

Do not fear says the Lord, even though you may not feel my presence at all times. For although your feelings may tell you that I am no longer there, the truth is I am always still there.

I will never withdraw My presence from you, even if you have failed to come into My presence, whether intentionally or unintentionally. My love for you is never conditional upon what you do, but it remains constant no matter what you do.

Therefore do not allow the enemy to tell you that I have withdrawn My presence from you because of your failures. Do not believe the lie that I am withholding My presence in order to discipline you or bring you to order.

I said I will never leave you or forsake you, and I will always keep My promises, no matter what you do.

Know that I am waiting patiently for you to come and fellowship with Me, and I will welcome you with open arms. Do not allow the pressures of this world or your own fears and failures to rob you of the wonder of fellowshipping with Me.

At your first cry I am there. At your first move to come near to Me, I am already drawing nearer to you.

Just come as you are, and you will soon begin to feel My presence once again, and know the blessing that comes from intimacy with Me says the Lord.

 

The First Key to the Kingdom of God

 

 

I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

1 Timothy 2:1-4

The keys to the kingdom of God, to which Jesus referred in Matthew 16:19, allow us to bind the devil and lose (destroy and break up) his efforts against people. What are some of the keys and how are we to use them?

The first key to the kingdom is prayer. Notice that 1 Timothy 2:1-4 says that prayer should be a first of all thing; in other words, prayer should be prioritized above everything else!

Paul told the young pastor that supplications (requests), and prayers were to be made with energy, emotion, and a sense of caring. Intercessions (standing in the gap for someone who can’t stand in the gap for themselves) and giving of thanks were to be made for all men. Did you notice those last three words? We’re to pray for everyone because everyone, unless they have used the key to enter the door to the kingdom of God, is enslaved. They cannot get free from the grip of the devil unless a greater power is exerted on their behalf. Prayer is that greater power that destroys the chains that bind people in servitude to the devil.

Sinners have no chance unless you pray. They don’t know how to get out of the devil’s grip, but your prayers can make the difference. I know the reason I’m saved today is because someone prayed for me. Pray for all men that they will be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth!
