Small Straws In A Soft Wind - October

[bluidkiti]

October 1: There is safety in knowing the truth. My word will set the guidelines for spiritual reality and access to wisdom. If you count on circumstances to lead, you will be led astray. Every action requires a deliberate decision. Decide to partner with Me, and I will keep you on course. Do not be afraid! Psalms 84:5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, whose heart is set on pilgrimage.

[bluidkiti]

October 2: Settle yourself in the peace of My presence. Unsettling chaos abounds, and you need to find calm and tranquility in the midst of turmoil. Ground yourself in eternal truth. I am your anchor in the storm-tossed sea. I am your place of security. Come to Me and find rest for your soul. Colossians 2:6-7 As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.

[bluidkiti]

October 3: When change becomes the new normal, you may have to adapt in your routine or the way you do things externally. But spiritually you can count on Me. I am your solid foundation, which is unchanging and immovable. Your faith is absolute and resolute, and you will stand strong in the face of adversity. Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

[bluidkiti]

October 4: Don't cry. Pray! Nothing can be accomplished by feeling sorry for yourself or someone else. But when you rise up in the Spirit, seek My face and pray according to My will and purposes, I hear and answer you. You can also access that which I have already made available to you. 2 Peter 1:2-4 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

[bluidkiti]

October 5: Breakthrough will come in moments of progression and victory. Do not underestimate the power of My presence in your circumstances. Stay present with Me and rejoice in the small steps that result in your ultimate success. I am your helper. Go forth in strength and confidence. Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

[bluidkiti]

October 6: Shore up places of vulnerability that could be exploited. Repent for all unrighteousness of thought or deed. Pay particular attention to prejudicial injustice. I tell you the truth that any place of weakness can and will be exploited by the enemy. Choose to walk in love towards everyone. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8a Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.

[bluidkiti]

October 7: You live in extraordinary times, and it is more vital than ever that you stay alert both spiritually and in the natural realm. Be aware of the times when I say GO and times when I say NO. You must position yourself in divine order and move with the flow of My Spirit so that you can be safe. This is no time to be careless. Psalm 107:28-30 Then they cry out to the Lord in their trouble, and He brings them out of their distresses. He calms the storm, so that its waves are still. Then they are glad because they are quiet; so He guides them to their desired haven.

[bluidkiti]

October 8: You must live true to your convictions and refuse to allow what others do or say to take you off course. I will be your guide when you trust Me. Your spiritual awareness will keep you in your correct position. That awareness comes from My Spirit. Quiet your own thoughts and emotions so that your responses are righteous. Be strong and silent. Isaiah 32:18 My people will dwell in a peaceful habitation, in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places.

[bluidkiti]

October 9: Do all that is necessary to maintain integrity regardless of the darkness that covers the earth. You do not belong to the kingdoms of the earth, you belong to Me. Cling to the principles that represent My kingdom. Take a stand for righteousness, peace and safety. Isaiah 58:8 Then your light shall break forth like the morning, your healing shall spring forth speedily, and your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.

October 10: When everything feels broken around you it likely is. So much of what seemed dependable and solid in the natural realm is no longer the same. Your only place of security and safety is in the Spirit. I remain the same and My word is still the truth. You will find that your place of stability is your relationship with Me and your dependence on that which is eternal. Stay grounded in the Word. Psalm 119:160 The entirety of Your word is truth, and every one of Your righteous judgments endures forever.

[bluidkiti]

October 11: You can plan ahead and set your sights on better days. But you still have to make your way through the time you have presently. Ask and I will give you unusual insight and understanding of how to make the best of where you are now while you maintain hope for the future. Set your goal to progress and develop spiritually. Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

[bluidkiti]

October 12: Quiet yourself and find physical and spiritual space where we can commune. The earth is overflowing with loud and invasive corruption, but you can set yourself apart to focus on your relationship with Me and to hear My voice, obey My leading, and find rest for your soul. Come away from all of that, My beloved, and be refreshed and renewed. 2 Corinthians 13:14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.

[bluidkiti]

October 13: Check yourself and be aware of your vulnerabilities both naturally and spiritually. Look for areas in your life where you can be exploited by the enemy of your soul. Remember that I am your safe haven, and I will give you the awareness you need to strengthen your habitation. Isaiah 26:20 Come, my people, enter your chambers, and shut your doors behind you; hide yourself, as it were, for a little moment, until the indignation is past.

[bluidkiti]

October 14: In a vision I saw a large corn field ready for harvest. As I watched, I saw people who had been hidden in the cornstalks begin to emerge. And I heard the Lord say that those who have been hidden in a place of obscurity will begin to come forth and experience breakthrough with varying degrees of significance. For some breaking through will be life-changing and for others it will be moments of unusual clarity of purpose and direction. Praise God for His goodness! Psalm 150:6 Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!

[bluidkiti]

October 15: Do not forget to include Me in every area of your life and ask Me for help. I am not a silent partner. I will speak to you in a still, small voice when you must position yourself to hear. Internally you must shut down the fear, worry and other loud voices that would lead you astray. This will depend on your level of sensitivity to My Spirit, which must be developed in quietness as you seek. John 15:7 "If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you."

[bluidkiti]

October 16: Circumstances will dictate your best course of action in the days ahead. If you are uncertain and afraid settle yourself in the assurance that I am with you. I know you. I care for you. Allow Me to bring you through difficulties. I am your very present help in times of trouble. Psalm 33:20 Our soul waits for the Lord; He is our help and our shield.

[bluidkiti]

October 17: In a vision I saw a family of mountain goats scrambling up a very steep and craggy terrain, and the Lord said, "The way is difficult and the path is daunting. Only those whose hearts are set on going higher spiritually will endure the hardship of elevation. With My help your footing will be secure and steady. I will make a way where there seems to be no way." Matthew 7:13-14 Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

[bluidkiti]

October 18: In these uncertain times you can maintain solid footing by putting your spiritual life first. You are an eternal being, and your primary investment must be in things eternal. Yet many of you are focusing on day-to-day chaos. Set your sights higher and get your priorities in order. Separate yourself from the crowd and come away with Me. Let Me lead you in the ways of righteousness. Proverbs 2:20 So you may walk in the way of goodness, and keep to the paths of righteousness.

[bluidkiti]

October 19: When it seems like I have retreated and am further away, it is essential that you draw near, seek and find Me. Reach out spiritually and set your heart on intimacy because it is time to grow. There are times in your life when you have to run to catch up; this is one of those times when everything around you seems to be stale, bleak, and quiet. Set yourself in motion. Ecclesiastes 1:13 And I set my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all that is done under heaven; this burdensome task God has given to the sons of man, by which they may be exercised.

[bluidkiti]

October 20: For those who are waiting for things to change, your wait is not over. Disappointment will be the result of unreasonable expectations. You cannot count on people to fulfill your desires, but you can put your faith in Me to guide you to your destiny. It will not be easy because there are challenges to be met and lessons to learn, but you will succeed if you trust Me. Jeremiah 17:7 "Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord."

[bluidkiti]

October 21: In a dream I was renovating my living space using redwood. The key to understanding the dream is to understand the properties of redwood. Redwood trees are known for their longevity, they stand taller than any other tree, they are stable and always green, they contribute to the stabilization of the global climate, and they have the ability to not only survive but to thrive. I believe the Lord is calling us to grow and stay alive spiritually, to stand tall in His purposes, to be godly in our environment and to thrive as His people. 1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

[bluidkiti]

October 22: There is a very strong anointing that can be accessed by those who rise above the cares of the world. It is an anointing to do My will in the spiritual realm. You must quiet your flesh and listen for My instruction and not set out on your own to do a religious thing. This is above and beyond anything you have been called to do thus far. Your journey will be sacred. 1 John 2:27 But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.

[bluidkiti]

October 23: I have set a higher standard of excellence for My people to abide by. But you can only meet this high standard by living and walking in the Spirit. You do not have the ability to live at this level through outward manifestations of the flesh. You can only do this through your vital, intimate relationship and unity with Me by the Spirit. Then, I will work in you what is pleasing in My sight. Romans 7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find.

[bluidkiti]

October 24: For those who have chosen to seek Me, I have insulated you from natural and spiritual destructive forces. This isolation will seem like a time of silence, but it is indeed a place of extreme safety. Set your heart to find Me, and you will find that the anointing that comes with My presence is very strong. I am present with you and will never leave you nor forsake you. Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

[bluidkiti]

October 25: Be strong within yourself and refuse to be moved either in soul or spirit by outside forces. Strength will come from your strong and firm foundation in Christ. Even in the midst of the whirlwind your underpinnings will prevail. Do not be afraid. I am your protector. Psalm 91:4-7 He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you.

[bluidkiti]

October 26: Never forget that I have equipped you to carry out the work of the Kingdom. Complaining about the difficulties you endure is beneath your dignity and purpose. I have given you the strength and power to not only endure hardship but to overcome by the power of My Spirit who dwells in you. Pick yourself up and push on to victory. The reward is worth the effort. 1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

[bluidkiti]

October 27: To those who have become cold-hearted, mean, and haughty so that you dismiss other people, do not forget that the law of sowing and reaping cannot be averted. Make a concerted effort to develop a softer attitude, one of love and humility. Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

[bluidkiti]

October 28: When you chose the way of redemption, you changed your destiny. You moved from the darkness of the world into the light of the Lord. Now you must walk the path of redemption in goodness and truth so that you can produce the fruit fitting a child of the King. Exercise wisdom, and rise above the evil of these days to live righteously. Be an example of life in the Spirit. Ephesians 5:8-11 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.

[bluidkiti]

October 29: Allow Me to lead you in the way of solving difficult problems. I will give you the wisdom and direction you need for this specific time if you ask. You are facing issues that you have never had to deal with in the past, but I am not surprised or confused. I will show you the way to overcome and gain the victory. James 1:5-6 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.

[bluidkiti]

October 30: The order of the day is to move from outside to inside, from external to internal, from flesh to spirit. When your focus is on people, places and things around you, it is unlikely that you will walk and live in the Spirit. The greatest place of awareness, knowledge, wisdom, and healing is found in your spiritual connection with Me. You can do this by deliberately changing your point of view. Make the move. Romans 8:7-9a Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God. But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you.

[bluidkiti]

October 31: In a vision I saw a runner jumping hurdles and there were still a bunch of hurdles ahead. I heard the Lord say that we, His people, are running the race of life and there are still obstacles ahead that we must navigate. However, He has trained us and prepared us for such a time as this and we will overcome with His help. Hebrews 12:1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.
