The loving, caring eyes of Your Father are upon you with great intention and interest. His attentive ears are listening with great concern to your voice, which He loves to hear, and never grows tired of.
He not only sees and hears you, He has the will and ability to care for you, heal you,comfort you, protect you and provide for you.
There is no enemy that can overtake Him. There is no intruder that can snatch you from His Hand. Your Daddy truly is The Strongest Daddy on the playground!
YOUR FATHER is The Lord of All Creation if YOU HAVE accepted His Son as Lord!
Proverbs 3:5-6 New Living Translation (NLT) Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do,and he will show you which path to take.

Read and Receive!!
I was meditating today on how the anointing seems to be transferred from the pages of the books that I take great pleasure in reading. What is it about reading the autobiographies of Reinhard Bonnke, Smith Wigglesworth and His Sermons, Charles Finney, Kenneth Hagin Sr, and the like?
It isn't the men themselves that reach through the pages and make a deposit in my spirit. It isn't because they were so amazing or great, although they were made great in The Kingdom for a reason.
Then, I began to see something in way i haven't before. I began to see what it was, besides the anointing, that caused such a deposit of glory and maturity in my Soul and Spirit.
When I read the accounts of the lives of these men or when I read their sermons and teachings, the greatest thing being transferred is how they viewed The Lord and His Word. It is the deposit The Lord put in them, the heart The Lord put in them.
The very high view that Kenneth Hagin had of The Word, The Blood and The Name brings my view of those things to a higher level. His impenetrable Faith in Gods Word is contagious when you read His story and His teachings. His book "The Name of Jesus" will cause any Christian, any true Christian, to honor The name of Our LORD MORE HIGHLY THAN THEY EVER HAD.
The RAW Faith and gruff determination of Smith Wigglesworth is saturated in everything that he wrote and taught. "The Power of Faith" is one of the most powerfully anointed books I have ever read. Every story has a thread that is unique to Him and His life. His longevity and his refusal to bow his knee to anything of the world, causes the reader to go to new heights in their faith In God and His Word!
The autobiography of Reinhard Bonnke , "Living The Life of Fire", stands as one of the most powerful ever written about an Evangelist and in my opinion a modern day Apostle. If you have never read it, get it, read it and you will be in awe at what THE LORD communicates to you through it. So many misunderstand His ministry because they do not know his roots. Discover His roots and unlock a whole world of teaching on evangelism, that is really inexhaustible.
Charles Finney (Read His Autobiography) knew something about the anointing,prayer, intercession, that most have never even scratched the surface of. But you can have a deposit of that same understanding that caused him to be a fit vessel, to advance the kingdom like few in history have been able to do.
I guess the point of my post today is: Don't lose out on what the Lord may have for you through these men that He anointed and called to deposit something into The Church today.
Even if you do not agree with all a preacher has done or taught, don't miss out because of pride or spiritual elitism. There is a thread of power and anointing, because of the understanding these men had, and have, about God and His Word, about Jesus, and His Blood, His Name and the power and tools He gave The Church to complete His Mission.
I pray that he who has an ear to hear, will hear what The Lord is saying. Don't look to the vessel, look to the revelation The Lord has allowed The Vessel to have, and receive fully from it.
When you read books and teaching from men and woman that advanced The Kingdom, through The Word and The Spirit, read them with your inner man. Don't intellectually look for the theologian in them, look for the heart of God and FOR GOD, That He put in them.

Rest in Him! As He is At Rest in You
Mark 4:35-40
Wind and Wave Obey Jesus
On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side.” Now when they had left the multitude, they took Him along in the boat as He was. And other little boats were also with Him. And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling. But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?”
Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm. But He said to them, “Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?”
There are times in life, even for the most stable Christian, that the circumstances around us feel as if a mighty storm is threatening to destroy our lives. Just like the Disciples it seems as though The Lord is comfortably sleeping in our spirit, while we battle the wind and waves.
I believe with all my heart that The Lord gave us this story, not only to show us He was Lord of all Creation, but to demonstrate to us, what He expects us to do during these times of trouble.
He isn't resting comfortably because He does not care what you are facing, although the enemy would love for you to believe that. He is resting comfortably because He knows what He has declared over your life. He knows that He will not lose you from His hand.
Some of us know what it is like to have everything on the outside calm and at peace, but inside, we have a Major Storm going on. Whether it is a broken place in the soul, that is yet to be healed, turmoil in the mind, or a physical condition that causes distress in the belly of our being, The Lord has taken up a place of rest IN YOU, and He will give you that rest!
However you must stand up in faith, against feelings, against what you see, and declare His Word! Command your heart to be at peace and your soul to be calm. You must CHOOSE to look beyond the waves and the wind.
Like John, lean back on The Lords chest and take comfort in His presence in you.
I know you see them, I know you hear them. I know they can be frightening,disheartening and troublesome! But!!! The greater one lives in you! If He is at peace in you, you can be at peace as well.
Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing the Word of God!! Look to His word and hold tightly to His promises.
If you are new to the Christian Walk of Faith, He is so good to help you along and rebuke the wind and sea for you, time and time again. If you have been walking with Him a while, He expects you to trust Him and take up a place of rest, even if the storm continues to rage.
You will make it. He has an expected end for you!
IT IS GOOD!!!
Jeremiah 29:11
New King James Version (NKJV)
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
