1 Corinthians 15:58b “Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.“(NIV)

Child – Nothing you do for Me is in vain. Even small gestures such as gentle words and loving thoughts are powerful works. As you seek my face and heart, I empower all you do. I am your motivator and you are my obedient vessel. Leave the results to Me for I am also the finisher.

We are a team. Don’t be afraid. I am trustworthy and will provide everything required to carry out my plan. You are mine and it pleases Me greatly when you stay aware of Me in you.

You are to consciously go forward each day. Stay alert and be aware of the people you meet. Tasks are not the goal – the people are. Love them with my love. See them with my eyes. Minister to them as I give insight and ability. All is to be done to bless them and bring Me honor.

I created you for myself. Rejoice in that! We will have forever to explore all that means. In the meantime, draw close to Me each moment and listen for my voice. I am ever speaking, ever directing, ever blessing both you and those you meet.

Stop wasting time on “time fillers.” You know what those are for you. Some rest and recreation is fine. My assignment for you is to bring my life and my words to others. Listen to Me and I will show you how to use your time for my glory.

Many people are starving for my words of life. I am making a way for you to bless others with all you have been given. Your labor will not be in vain! Walk with me, child. We go blessing.

Love,  Abba

Romans 13:14 “…clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.” (NIV)

Child – You have been given new clothes. You are to dress yourself in the character of my Son. His Spirit lives in you and provides these clothes as you appropriate them. Always choose to go out fully dressed for the day.

Put on love, joy and peace. Allow kindness, goodness and gentleness to flow through your words and attitude. Remain faithful to your task of reflecting Me to your part of the world. You have been given the discipline to do so.

You are my chosen one and I freely give you myself and my character. We go forward into life together. Open your eyes, child. You are beautifully arrayed for the day. Also remember to put on your spiritual armor for the attacks that lie ahead.

Be of good cheer for the I, the Greater One, live in you. Together we conquer all foes. So be strong in Me for it is my mighty power that protects you. Rest in that fact!

Love you,  Abba

1 Corinthians 9:24b “Run in such a way as to get the prize.” (NIV)

Father – Thank you for giving me the strength to run the race you have set before me. May I always keep my eyes on the prize of pleasing you at all times. I love you and thank you that I am your child.

My precious child – Don’t be afraid of the challenges or small set backs on your way to wholeness. You will live in health and fullness as your soul prospers. Concentrate on Me and my Word. All else is superfluous. In this world you will have troubles, but be of good cheer for I have overcome the world! I live in you and will enable you to be victorious at all times and in all circumstances.

Praise and thank Me for my presence and power. I am always with you. I am your great Enabler. I have the supply for all you need and will provide it as you rest in Me. Quit your worrying and striving. Learn my Word. Believe it and speak it, then stand.

As attacks continue, speak the Word. It is your sword to cut the enemy to pieces. He tries to make himself look bigger than my Word, but he is a defeated foe! Remind him of that fact or he will deceive you with physical circumstances.

Satan no longer has any authority in your life. You are mine. Stop living under his power. It is your choice. You are in the world but not under its rule or power any longer.

You can live and walk in my resurrection power as you appropriate it. Will you choose life or death, my way or Satan’s lies? Which will you listen to and follow today? No matter what you see or feel, the battle is finished. You are a conqueror living in an enemy camp but victorious over all his ruses and attacks.

Stand firm, praise Me and thank Me for the victory! You are on the winning side and will see my power at work. Don’t live under the circumstances any longer. Run the race holding my hand with your eyes on the prize of pleasing Me.

Love you completely,  Abba
