Small Straws In A Soft Wind - September

[bluidkiti]

September 1: You are in unfamiliar territory because I am taking you in the direction of correction. There are things in your life that are inconsistent with kingdom values. It is not that you are completely off track, but taking you out of routine will reveal attitudes and motivations that need to be highlighted. I will show you what needs your attention. Proverbs 3:11 My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, nor detest His correction.

[bluidkiti]

September 2: In many ways this is a new beginning for you. There are things you can leave behind and be done with as you set your heart on what will transpire. But, remember that even when you are looking ahead, you must have your feet firmly planted in the present as you seek My face with a desire to stay connected spiritually. You are still in transition. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

[bluidkiti]

September 3: The spiritual atmosphere that prevails over your nation and even the whole world has been one of hindrance. It seems like you have been walking through mud. Everything takes more effort than it should. You can, however, alleviate much of this trouble by allowing Me to lead you through the maze of difficulty. I will give you wisdom and favor when you ask. Proverbs 4:12 When you walk, your steps will not be hindered, and when you run, you will not stumble.

[bluidkiti]

September 4: Beloved, I want you to come closer to Me. You have achieved a level of comfort in seeking and interacting with Me, but there is more. There is a higher level of spiritual understanding and perfection that you have stopped short of. Press through this barrier of complacency and rise to new heights. Philippians 3:12 Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me.

[bluidkiti]

September 5: When circumstances seem uncertain, do not be afraid. Circumstances change, but I never change; I am the same yesterday, today, and forever. I care for you and will lead you through the maze of difficult conditions. Trust Me to reveal solutions to the problems you face. Be strong and have faith. Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

[bluidkiti]

September 6: When you feel like you have stalled out, do not despair. Keep moving forward even if it is small increments. You are not alone in feeling this way. It is not yet time for moving in leaps and bounds or making great sweeping changes. Find your place of safety and be content for the moment. Be at peace. John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

[bluidkiti]

September 7: There are things you have neglected and need your attention. Do not procrastinate any longer or those issues will become more difficult to deal with. Now is the time to bring resolution to every area of your life. You will be glad you did. Proverbs 12:27 The lazy man does not roast what he took in hunting, but diligence is man’s precious possession.

[bluidkiti]

September 8: Look for Me even when you do not feel like it. When you find Me, you will regain strength and hope. I am your help in troubling times, and I will energize you to be able to deal with every situation regardless of how daunting it seems. There is nothing beyond My reach. Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

[bluidkiti]

September 9: Beloved, I want My thoughts to be your thoughts and My words to be your words. They will be thoughts and words of love and encouragement to those around you. Be done with pride and prejudicial judgment and actions, and remember that you will reap what you sow. If you want a better harvest, you have to plant better seeds. Hosea 10:12 Sow for yourselves righteousness; reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground, for it is time to seek the Lord, till He comes and rains righteousness on you.

[bluidkiti]

September 10: Your empathy and kindness will be multiplied back to you. Do not consider even for a moment that what you do for others goes unnoticed. You are My hands and My feet on the earth, and when you do My bidding, you will be rewarded beyond measure. Luke 6:38 Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.

[bluidkiti]

September 11: You have been looking for solutions and completion in various aspects of your life, and your wait is coming to an end. These are things that must conclude before you can be positioned to move forward and begin to experience the new season before you. You will forge ahead with a greater sense of spiritual stability and assurance. Isaiah 33:6 Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times, and the strength of salvation; the fear of the Lord is his treasure.

[bluidkiti]

September 12: I Am not only with you in your spiritual mountain top experiences; I Am with you in your mundane existence. I Am with you to help with the challenges you face every day. I Am as close as your breath. Silence your soul and quiet your thoughts and anxieties as you allow Me to interact with you and give you the wisdom and direction you need to take your next steps. Peace be with you. John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

[bluidkiti]

September 13: Arise from your bed of sorrow and look for ways to be content, grateful, and happy instead of being upset and worried. Rise above your worldly discontentment and realize that because you belong to Me, you are highly favored. What you have or do not have is a temporary condition, but who you are spiritually in Me is forever, says the Lord. Psalm 44:3 For they did not gain possession of the land by their own sword, nor did their own arm save them; but it was Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your countenance, because You favored them.

[bluidkiti]

September 14: I woke up this morning with the Spanish word, sientese, which translated to English is "sit down." And, I heard the Lord say: You have been frantic to achieve breakthrough and have worn yourself out with this obsession. I already know what you need, so relax. I will show you the way to calmly achieve your goal. Ask and you shall receive. Matthew 7:7-8 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

[bluidkiti]

September 15: This is a time when you need to make peace with your past along with all of the poor judgment, embarrassment, rejection, and self-interest. You belong to Me. You have been redeemed and are a new creation. You can do nothing to fix what has already transpired. Move on. 2 Corinthians 5:17-19 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

[bluidkiti]

September 16: Embrace change. For some it will be small things that need to be tweaked, improved, or re-arranged. For others it will be the need to exchange or replace that which is no longer relevant. And, for others it will be a time of complete renovation. I speak of your spiritual condition as well as your emotional, mental, and physical environment. I am preparing you for the days ahead that will require soundness of spirit, soul, and body. Make the most of the opportunities that are presented. Now is the time to get ready to move into the new season. Psalm 31:24 Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all you who hope in the Lord.

[bluidkiti]

September 17: I see the burden of your soul and that you have become weary in waiting for breakthrough. You must rest, but take your rest by having faith in Me to bring you through. Refuse to fuss and fume over things that are beyond your control. I see your plight, and your way to peace is through Me. Trust Me to make a way. Matthew 11:28-30 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.

[bluidkiti]

September 18: Break free from the things that have held you captive and kept you in bondage. It is time to deal with issues that have held you back and hindered your ability to become all that I have called you be and to accomplish all that I have set before you. Examine your life so that you can see clearly where you must fight for your freedom, says the Lord. Be courageous. John 8:36 Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.

[bluidkiti]

September 19: Continue the effort to press through these difficult times. Do not give up. I know every detail of your life and heart, and I am with you. Establish yourself in hope and keep the faith. You are destined for victory. This too shall pass. 2 Corinthians 2:14 Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.

[bluidkiti]

September 20: Watch for the beginning of breakthrough. It will be like the breaking of a dam, one small stream at a time until the obstacles are gone and new opportunities for growth and stability will be a reality. Stay hopeful and do not give up. Your day is coming. Matthew 7:7-8 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

[bluidkiti]

September 21: The power of evil produces chaos and destruction. I speak to you, My people, to rise up out of the throes of destructive cycles that keep you in agony and suffering. Resist unrighteousness. You already know the difference between good and evil. Choose good in your heart and follow through with goodness in your behavior and actions, says the Lord. Your life in the Spirit depends on that decision. James 4:7-8 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

[bluidkiti]

September 22: Your worry has gotten you nowhere. You have stewed and fretted about things you do not even understand. Where is the faith in that? Get up out of your stewpot and know that I will give you the wisdom and direction you need when you need it. Settle yourself in the flow of My Spirit and relax. You can depend on Me. 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]

September 23: I want you to step back and take a look at the bigger picture. While looking at details is admirable, you can miss a greater understanding that is necessary in accurately evaluating a particular situation. Take the time to make adjustments in the way you see things so that you have greater clarity of intent and purpose. Psalm 14:2 The Lord looks down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are any who understand, who seek God.

[bluidkiti]

September 24: Go with the flow of change. It may feel awkward in the beginning, but you will get used to the changes, and they will become part of your existence on a different level. The more you set your heart on spiritual things instead of natural things, the better off you will be. Keep your priorities straight. Psalm 84:5-7 Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, whose heart is set on pilgrimage. As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a spring; the rain also covers it with pools. They go from strength to strength; each one appears before God in Zion.

[bluidkiti]

September 25: When things seem to no longer work or properly meet your needs, you will have to make some adjustments. This is a time when you are being re-positioned so that you can maximize the benefits of the new season. Don't panic when changes are inevitable. It will be much the same as your eyes having to adjust from darkness to light, and you will begin to see clearly again. 1 Corinthians 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each one’s praise will come from God.

[bluidkiti]

September 26: Arise from the darkness of your soul and come into the light of the Spirit. Leave behind all thoughts of fear and worry. Step into the realm of strength and hope where you will be transformed. You will be amazed at the clarity that will come as the result of this choice. 2 Corinthians 4:6 For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

[bluidkiti]

September 27: This is a brand new day. Wipe the slate clean and begin again. Refuse to allow your past to dictate your future. Position yourself to live and move in the Spirit without restraint. You have been set free. Do not let your past haunt you or hold you back. Move forward with the ease afforded you in this season. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

[bluidkiti]

September 28: Stand on the solid ground of truth in every situation and not what you want to be true, but that which is actually true. The world is full of liars and those who stretch and distort the truth to satisfy their own selfish desires. My heart is with those who are honest souls who do not yield even for a moment to perversion or corruption. Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

[bluidkiti]

September 29: Change is sometimes difficult to navigate. Do not panic. Take one step at a time as you transition into the unfamiliar. This is yours to do, and it will soon become routine. Pray for wisdom and be calm and deliberate; it is part of your beginning into the new era. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

[bluidkiti]

September 30: Prepare yourself for a new spiritual journey. I will take you into a realm of wisdom and understanding that you have not yet experienced. The preparation I speak of is one of purity and a genuine desire to know Me more intimately. You will never reach for anything you do not want. So, this will be a deliberate and focused process. Only those who have the desire will make this journey. Job 23:12 I have not departed from the commandment of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.
