Small Straws In A Soft Wind - December

[bluidkiti]

December 1: Like bees in a hive, you are not alone. It takes every bee doing its part to produce honey. You already know what you need to do to coexist with others. You must do your part to fulfill your purpose and achieve your destiny. Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

[bluidkiti]

December 2: You sometimes feel like you are running a race on an obstacle course where you keep getting bogged down in mud holes, having to jump hurdles, and hitting brick walls. But I tell you that I am with you to make rough places smooth and crooked places straight. Trust Me to bring you through, says the Lord. Isaiah 40:4-5 Every valley shall be exalted and every mountain and hill brought low; the crooked places shall be made straight and the rough places smooth; the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.

[bluidkiti]

December 3: There is a strong and mighty wind blowing in the realm of the Spirit that will remove all guilt and shame. It will sweep away the debris of the past and prepare you for a new beginning. But you must embrace the innocence of starting over and leave the past behind. Receive the forgiveness afforded you through the redemption promised by the blood of Jesus Christ. Romans 3:23-26: For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

[bluidkiti]

December 4: There are ways you can help others and ways that you should not help. I would have you be sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit in every situation. I know the depth of your compassion, but there are times when you can intervene and times when you should mind your own business. Let your spirit and your conscience be your guide. 2 Corinthians 1:12 For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that we conducted ourselves in the world in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom but by the grace of God, and more abundantly toward you.

[bluidkiti]

December 5: Be centered and stay focused. There are many distractions at this time that will take you away from your prime objective and spiritual purpose. Do not forget your end goal and eternal design. Continue to stay connected and seek My face. Psalm 27:7-9 Hear, O Lord,when I cry with my voice! Have mercy also upon me, and answer me. When You said, Seek My face, my heart said to You, Your face, Lord, I will seek. Do not hide Your face from me; do not turn Your servant away in anger; You have been my help; do not leave me nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.

[bluidkiti]

December 6: Take disappointments in stride. Your circumstances will change, but I never change. I am your Rock and High Tower to which you must run. You will find peace as you live and move and have your being in Me. Refuse to allow anything to take you away from the assurance that I am your help. Psalm 31:3 For You are my rock and my fortress; therefore, for Your name’s sake, lead me and guide me.

[bluidkiti]

December 7: In a dream there was a steady stream of dogs and cats coming to my door for food. They seemed to be starving with no one to take care of them. I thought for sure that I would run out of food to give them, but there always seemed to be enough. And, the Lord said: Your provision comes from Me, and I never tire of those who come to My door seeking to be fed. You, and those like you, are My conduit on the earth. Do not grow weary in doing good. Galatians 6:9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.

[bluidkiti]

December 8: Many of you, My people, need to work on being humble. Strive to develop characteristics that you know by the Holy Spirit to be righteous and good. Do not think that being haughty elevates you. It only brings you down spiritually and in the eyes of other people. Proverbs 16:18 Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

[bluidkiti]

December 9: When you feel like there is no way out of an unpleasant situation, remember that I am your God. Nothing is too difficult for Me. You can depend on Me to enlighten you so that you can see your way of escape. Quiet your fears and desperation, and have faith in 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]

December 10: Do not feel guilty for separating yourself from people who are not good for you. Set your heart to choose your relationships wisely so that there is mutual benefit with those who are close to you. And remember that you are called to always be kind to one another, tenderhearted and forgiving. 2 Corinthians 6:17-18 Therefore come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you. I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.

[bluidkiti]

December 11: You have achieved a level of overcoming in some areas. Now, you must find a way to maintain by refusing to succumb to temptations and revert back to your old ways. See yourself in the light of what you have accomplished, and make that your new normal. You have gained ground. Stake your claim and hold on to it. Ephesians 6:13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

[bluidkiti]

December 12: Refuse to allow your fears to run away with you. This is a time when you must stay calm and have faith that I will lead you out of the darkness of your soul. Your strength is in Me always. Do not forget that I am your help in troubled times. 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]

December 13: There are things you can do something about and things you cannot. So, do what you can when you can, and leave the rest to Me. For some this will be a leap of faith, but it is well worth the leap. You will be strengthened spiritually every time you trust Me with your problems and issues. Only believe. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

[bluidkiti]

December 14: Whether you know it or not, I am preparing you for the days ahead. Some of the preparation is not what you would expect or welcome, but it is what you need. Be patient and persevere so that My work in you will be complete. The end result will be greater strength and endurance. James 1:4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

[bluidkiti]

December 15: Be diligent to accomplish what I have set before you to do. I have given you the ability, but you must fight through your misgivings and fear. Know that the enemy will do what he can to keep you from divine purpose. Fight through and gain the victory. 1 John 4:4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

[bluidkiti]

December 16: Chaos abounds in the world, but you do not belong to the world. You belong to Me, and I have made a way for you to live in peace regardless of what is happening around you. Find that place of serenity and camp out there. 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]

December 17: It does not take much effort to be kind. It is a choice in your interactions with others. And, that choice will become a habit whether you are kind, indifferent, or haughty and rude. It is My will for you to treat everyone as you wish to be treated. You will reap what you sow. Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

[bluidkiti]

December 18: There is no sense in dwelling on the past, on what has been done or has not been done. Focus now on where you are spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically to see what you need to do to enhance your position and condition to align with My will and purposes. Ask for wisdom, and I will most certainly give it. Ask for direction, and I will show you the way. Matthew 7:7 Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and it will be opened to you.

[bluidkiti]

December 19: To those who feel abandoned, alone and lonely: You are not alone. You have Me, says the Lord, and I will never leave you nor forsake you. Rise above what appears to be true in the natural realm and access spiritual truth. Everything in the world will pass away, but all things in spirit will be forever. Set your heart on that which is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:18 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]

December 20: Come into My presence, and allow Me to put your heart at ease. You have worried and fussed about many things, but it is time to put to rest those things that concern you. I, the Lord, am greater than your heart. Trust that you are in My hands and that I will bring you through to completion. 1 John 3:18-20 My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him. For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.

[bluidkiti]

December 21: You, who have worked so hard to attain your goal, will now enjoy a short season of victory before you press on. Now you must maintain what you have gained and move forward in strength and purpose. I will give you eyes to see and ears to hear, but it will not be physical sight or hearing. You will see and hear spiritually and perceive with your heart when you are quiet. Isaiah 64:4 For since the beginning of the world men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen any God besides You, Who acts for the one who waits for Him.

[bluidkiti]

December 22: Beloved, I have empowered you to do all that I have set before you. Do not be afraid to depart from your comfort zone, and get ready for a spiritual growth spurt as you set your heart to yield to the moving of My Spirit. Your consecration and dedication have conditioned you to be wholly devoted to Me. You will be rewarded. Psalm 56:3 Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You.

[bluidkiti]

December 23: Look beyond yourself to see your potential in Me. Refuse to get stuck in the misery of your flesh, and find the glory of walking and living in the Spirit. Rise up and take your rightful place in the spiritual realm. It is not hard to do. Set your heart and desire on finding Me and becoming one with Me, says the Lord. Jeremiah 29:12-14 Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back from your captivity; I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you to the place from which I cause you to be carried away captive.

[bluidkiti]

December 24: Issues that have been a problem in the past are coming up for review. This is a time when you can effectively resolve these issues, but you must stay in the realm of righteousness. Make sure your heart is in the right place and that resentment and bitterness are not driving you. Remember to love one another and be kind. Ephesians 4:32 And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

[bluidkiti]

December 25: Do not forget that you are a pilgrim on a journey through a temporary life on your way to eternity. Determine to make the most of the time you have by giving glory to the King of kings and Lord of lords. Live every day as though is was your last. Live honorably, love unconditionally, and do no harm. 1 Peter 2:11-12 Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul, having your conduct honorable among the Gentiles, that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation.

[bluidkiti]

December 26: Shake off the things that have kept you preoccupied and tied to the world. Today is a new day; live it with resolve to seek first My kingdom. Set yourself to not only know about Me, or know about the spiritual realm, but to experience and live the truth that you have discovered. I call you to be a true disciple. Luke 14:27 And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple.

[bluidkiti]

December 27: Set a watch for a lying spirit to bring condemnation. This is in an effort to stir up memories of falling short of expectations. But, you have been set free. You no longer belong to the world; you belong to Me, and I have not condemned you. Put to rest those nagging thoughts of unworthiness, and take your rightful place in the Spirit. Romans 8:1 There is therefore no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

[bluidkiti]

December 28: This is not a time for you to dump down in self-pity. You have come this far, but you must stay strong and trust Me to establish you in the place I have chosen for you, both spiritually and naturally. Silence your fears and be calm and unwavering. You are My own special treasure. Deuteronomy 7:6 For you are a holy people to the Lord your God; the Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth.

[bluidkiti]

December 29: When you have a generous heart, you will be blessed beyond measure. Develop a generous spirit and a forgiving attitude towards others and you will prosper. Selfishness and being self-centered will work against prosperity and blessing. It is a matter of your will and what you are willing to do that will determine your future. 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]

December 30: There are times when you feel invisible, unappreciated, and uncared for. But, know that what really matters is that I not only see you but appreciate and care for you. My love for you is unrivaled. Find your worth and comfort in Me. Rise up in that realization and take your rightful position, says the Lord. 1 John 4:8-10 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

[bluidkiti]

December 31: Let go of the past with both its failures and successes. You are embarking on a new season, so it is time to reset. Remember My promises and go forth in faith and hope. Set yourself to do the best you can with what you have and what you have been given to do. I will never leave you nor forsake you. Deuteronomy 31:8 And the Lord, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed.
