Small Straws In A Soft Wind - November

[bluidkiti]

November 1: I call you to maintain truth and integrity in the midst of a crooked generation. I am your Rock, your Fortress and your High Tower. If you are truly Mine, you will reflect My values of being just, upright, and righteous. Refuse to slowly drift away from all that is good, solid and eternal. Stand strong and unwavering. Deuteronomy 32:5-6 "They have corrupted themselves; they are not His children, because of their blemish: A perverse and crooked generation. Do you thus deal with the Lord, O foolish and unwise people? Is He not your Father, who bought you? Has He not made you and established you?"

[bluidkiti]

November 2: When you get discouraged renew your faith. Set your sights on having relationship with Me. It is not necessarily about what I can and will do for you, it is a matter of eternal life which is beyond your temporary conditions in the natural realm. Invest in My word and believe! 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

[bluidkiti]

November 3: Stand your ground. Hold your position. Maintain and continue. I am your enabler, and I will uphold you. Your part is to submit and yield to the work of the Spirit in you. I will not lead you astray or tear you down. Allow Me to build you up and strengthen you to live according to My will and purposes. Establish yourself in peace and do not be afraid. I am with you. Psalm 29:11 The Lord will give strength to His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace.

[bluidkiti]

November 4: You have always been set apart or separated for My purposes, but I am doing a further work of separation so that you can more completely fulfill the spiritual work you have been given to do according to My plans for your life. You must rise above everything mundane and fleshly. You can no longer do things that you find to be marginal. You belong totally to Me. You will know that you are ready to rise higher spiritually when you have no tolerance for strife, contention and hatred. Galatians 5:19-21 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

[bluidkiti]

November 5: In perilous times it is more important than ever to receive the outpouring of My Spirit. When it feels like you have been forsaken, you must remember that I will never leave you nor forsake you. I will lead you out of dark times into the glorious light of My presence. Seek to be filled with the Holy Spirit so that you may receive all that I have for you. Luke 11:13 "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!"

[bluidkiti]

November 6: When you pray do so with confidence and not with trepidation. Bring your concerns to Me and leave them with Me. Many of you pray and then try to micromanage the outcome as you worry and stew over your request. It is imperative that you come in faith, leave your burden, and go in peace. Philippians 4:6-7 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

[bluidkiti]

November 7: Beloved, like clay in the hand of the potter, I continue to mold you into My image. The things that you endure give opportunities for you to grow stronger and more resolute both spiritually and naturally. Never forget that you are My special treasure and loved beyond what you can imagine. Go forth with renewed assurance that I am with you and for you. Jeremiah 18:3-4 Then I went down to the potter’s house, and there he was, making something at the wheel. And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter; so he made it again into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make.

[bluidkiti]

November 8: If you are to make the most of this time you will be required to shift your focus from subject matter that keeps you from living at peace within yourself to seeking the peace that comes with living in the Spirit. You must put aside persistent thoughts that result in inner turmoil and come to Me to find peace and grace. Romans 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

[bluidkiti]

November 9: In a vision I saw a ram in mid air as he was leaping over a deep chasm. Rams are able to navigate rough terrain with ease. We who walk in the Spirit are likewise able to live in the spiritual heights comfortably. The point of the vision is that we are spiritual beings in transition, and we are well able to deal with every situation we encounter successfully when we walk in the Spirit. Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

[bluidkiti]

November 10: Many of you are steadily gazing at life's circumstances, which will keep you earthbound. Look up and access all that is available to you as My child. Trust Me. I see your dilemma, and I am willing and able to bring you through to victory. Shift your focus from natural to spiritual, from earth to heaven. Psalm 5:3 My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning I will direct it to You, and I will look up.

[bluidkiti]

November 11: Examine yourself to recognize the issues that need your attention. Fear and dread have caused you to procrastinate, but now is the time to push forward and do what needs to be done. These issues have become spiritual hindrances and have taken you out of the flow of My Spirit. I will give you the ability to overcome when you face your fears and trust Me. 2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

[bluidkiti]

November 12: These are days of precision. When you allow Me to direct your steps, every detail will be exact. I will guide you with flawless accuracy so that you never stumble or fall. You will be able to fulfill My will and purposes for your life without a hitch. So, listen for My still, small voice and follow My lead. Psalm 18:32 It is God who arms me with strength, and makes my way perfect.

[bluidkiti]

November 13: Be aware that the difficulties of these days will not frame and define the rest of your life. What you are going through is momentary and transitional. These are times to dig in spiritually and feed on the truth and peace that surpass understanding. Encourage yourself in the fact that I will give you the power to overcome as you align your body, soul, and spirit with My will. Philippians 4:6-8 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.

[bluidkiti]

November 14: Set yourself to expand in areas of strength and success as you let go of the positions of defeat and failure. To those of you who keep doing the same things that do not work for you, it is time to seek My direction so that you can move forward with a different plan. I will give you the wisdom necessary for breakthrough, but you will have to abandon mindsets that have hindered your progress. Psalm 32:8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.

[bluidkiti]

November 15: Deliberately align yourself with Me. Make sure that you yield your body to My perfection. Reset so that your thoughts, emotions and will are in perfect union with Me. And bring your spirit into absolute unity with My Spirit. Only then can you function as one with Me and reap the rewards of this advantage. John 17:21-23 "that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.

[bluidkiti]

November 16: Come to Me. Set your heart and mind to seek and find Me. The fulfillment of the plan of redemption has removed the veil between us so that you can come boldly and without fear. Come in faith believing that I understand your needs and will have compassion on you. My love for you is boundless. Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

[bluidkiti]

November 17: Maintain sound reasoning and truth. There are many voices designed to lure you away from spiritual reality, but remember that I am the way, the truth and the life. Circumstances come and go, but your relationship with Me will endure forever. Foster that relationship. John 8:32 "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

[bluidkiti]

November 18: I speak to those who have not progressed spiritually and have gotten stuck. I tell you the truth that there is more for you, a higher level of anointing and understanding. But you must reach beyond your current position and with a sense of purpose rise up to achieve that level. You have not arrived. Push forward to realize what is available to you. Ephesians 1:17-19 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power...

[bluidkiti]

November 19: Look to the horizon of a new day both naturally and spiritually. The difficulties you have endured will become a thing of the past, and you will begin again. Things will never be the same, but you will have the strength and desire to embrace what lies ahead. Refuse to give in to fear and dread. Philippians 3:13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead.

[bluidkiti]

November 20: You cannot predict where you will be or what you will be doing in the distant future nor should you. You must walk out your life moment by moment, day by day. Do so without fear or trepidation because I am with you and will command the blessing for all who put their trust in Me, and when you go through difficult days you can walk in faith regardless of circumstance. Deuteronomy 28:7-9 "The Lord will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways. The Lord will command the blessing on you in your storehouses and in all to which you set your hand, and He will bless you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you. The Lord will establish you as a holy people to Himself, just as He has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the Lord your God and walk in His ways."

[bluidkiti]

November 21: Exercise generosity and compassion. This season calls for an effort to help where you can. Do not forget the times when you have been helped and rescued, then go and do likewise. Demonstrate the power of My love and be understanding and kind to others. Romans 12:10-13 Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another; not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality.

[bluidkiti]

November 22: Be filled with My Spirit. When you yield to the presence of the Spirit, His gifts and fruit will be demonstrated in your life. Only then will the works of the flesh become a thing of the past. Invite the Holy Spirit to live in you and allow Him to lead. Galatians 5:19-23 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

[bluidkiti]

November 23: Just as your physical life began in the seclusion and safety of the womb, your spirit life will be established in the secret place of the Most High. Your relationship with Me will be nurtured in privacy, sheltered from the noise and distractions of the world. Find that place where spiritual growth can take place. Matthew 6:6 "But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly."

[bluidkiti]

November 24: When you are overwhelmed and undone, take the time necessary to commune with Me. Do this regularly for the sake of sanity. Take a breath and release all tension and stress as you rest in My presence. Come to the place that is above and beyond the worries of the day. Be at peace. Matthew 6:34 "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."

[bluidkiti]

November 25: Be on guard for those who would scheme to exploit you because of their desperation. If it seems to good to be true, it probably is. You may not be able to trust other people, but you can trust Me to reveal assignments and plots against you. Ask for wisdom and know that I will give it. Mark 4:22 "For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret but that it should come to light."

[bluidkiti]

November 26: There are things you can do for others and things you cannot do, and you must draw a clear line of distinction between the two. Your sympathy could cause you to cross that line and take on burdens that do not belong to you. Establish the boundaries that I have set for you by reminding yourself that you only have responsibility where you have been given authority. Luke 6:31 "And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise."

[bluidkiti]

November 27: In a vision I saw a series of bridges--one over a deep canyon, several over rivers, and one that was a covered bridge. I heard the Lord say that we, His people, are still in the middle of transition, and we are in process of getting to a place of safety in our journey. He is our covering and our very present help in times of trouble, and all we can do is just keep moving forward. He is with us! Psalm 91:3-6 Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence. 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.

[bluidkiti]

November 28: For those who have been seeking for wisdom in solving difficult problems, your answer to resolution is forthcoming. Stay alert both naturally and spiritually so that you don't miss the directive that will facilitate your steps to breakthrough. The answers you are seeking will be subtle but powerful. Proverbs 2:6-8 For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding; He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk uprightly; He guards the paths of justice, and preserves the way of His saints.

[bluidkiti]

November 29: Do not be moved by conversations and opinions of others because they will take you off course. You should only be affected by My word and by what I show you personally. These are days when the truth is hard to come by, so you have to be on guard and keep yourself in righteousness, peace and holiness. Romans 6:13 And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

[bluidkiti]

November 30: Refuse to allow condemnation to take you down. Many of you feel that you make more mistakes than you get things right, but I tell you honestly that the enemy of your soul is lying to you. You have not been this way before, and understanding what is not effective is valuable to your life experience. It is part of your learning process. Set yourself to walk and live in the Spirit. Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
