Jesus Calling

REST IN THE STILLNESS of My Presence while I prepare you for this day. Let the radiance of My Glory shine upon you, as you wait on Me in confident trust. Be Still and know that I am God. There is both a passive and an active side to trusting Me. As you rest in My Presence, focusing on Me, I quietly build bonds of trust between us. when you respond to the circumstances of your life with affirmations of trust, you actively participate in this process.

    I am always with you, so you have no reason to be afraid. Your fear often manifest itself in excessive planning. Your mind is so accustomed to this pattern of thinking that you are only now becoming aware of how pervasive it is and how much it hinders your intimacy with Me. Repent of this tendency and resist it, whenever you realize you are wandering down this well- worn path. Return to My Presence, which always awaits you in the present moment. I accept you back with no condemnation.

JESUS CALLING

LET ME CONTROL YOUR MIND. The mind is the most restless, unruly part of mankind. Long after you have learned the discipline of holding your tongue, your thoughts defy your will and set themselves up against Me. Man is the pinnacle of My creation, and the human mind is wondrously complex. I risk all by granting you the freedom to think for yourself. This is a god-like privilege, forever setting you apart from animals and robots. I made you in My image, precariously close to deity.

     Though My blood has fully redeemed you, your mind is the last bastion of rebellion. Open yourself to My radiant Presence, letting My Light permeate your thinking. When My Spirit is controlling your mind, you are filled with Life and Peace.

JESUS  CALLING

 

    PEACE IS MY CONTINUAL GIFT TO YOU. It flows abundantly from My throne of grace. Just as the Israelites could not store up manna for the future but had to gather it daily, so it is with My Peace. The day-by-day collecting of manna kept My people aware of their dependence on Me. Similarly, I give you sufficient Peace for the present, when you come to me by prayer and petition with thanksgiving. If I gave you permanent Peace, independent of My Presence , you might fall into the trap of self sufficiency. May that never be!

  I have designed for you to need Me moment by moment. As your awareness of your neediness increases, so does your realization of My abundant sufficiency. I can met every one of your needs without draining My resources at all. Approach My throne of grace with bold confidence, receiving My Peace with a thankful heart.

JESUS CALLING

I AM TRAINING YOU IN STEADINESS. Too many things interrupt your awareness of Me. I know that you live in a world of sight and sound, but you must not be a slave to those stimuli. Awareness of Me can continue in all circumstances, no matter what happens. This is the steadiness I desire for you.

Don't let unexpected events throw you off course Rather, respond calmly and confidently, remembering that I am with you.
As soon as something grabs your attention, talk to Me about it. Thus I share your joys and your problems; I help you cope with whatever is before you. This is how I live in you and work through you. This is the way of Peace.

GOD'S CALLING

I AM CALLING YOU to a life of thankfulness. I want all of your moments to be punctuated with thanksgiving. The basis for your gratitude is My sovereignty. I am the Creator and Controller of the universe. Heaven and earth are filled with My glorious Presence.

    When you criticize or complain, you are acting as if you think you can run the world better than I do. From your limited human perspectives, it may look as if I'm mismanaging things. But you don't know what I know or see what I see. If I pulled back the curtain to allow you to view heavenly realms, you would understand much more. However, I have designed you to live by faith, not by sight. I lovingly shield you from knowing the future or seeing into the spirit world. Acknowledge My sovereignty by giving thanks in all circumstances.

GOD'S CALLING

THIS IS THE DAY THAT I HAVE MADE. Rejoice and be glad in it.

Begin the day with open hands of faith, ready to receive all that I am pouring into this brief portion of your life. Be careful not to complain about anything, even the weather since I am the Author of your circumstances. The best way to handle unwanted situations is to thank Me for them. This act of faith frees you from resentment and frees Me to work my ways into the situation, so that good emerges from it.

To find Joy in this day, you must live within its boundaries. I knew what I was doing when I divided time into twenty-four-hour segments. I understand human frailty, and I know that you can bear the weight of only one day at a time. Do not worry about tomorrow or get stuck in the past. There is abundant life in My Presence today.

God's Calling

TRUST ME IN EVERY DETAIL OF YOUR LIFE, Nothing is random in My Kingdom. Everything that happens fits into a pattern for good, to those who love Me. Instead of trying to analyze the intricacies of the pattern, focus your energy on trusting Me and thanking Me at all times. Nothing is wasted when you walk close to Me. Even your mistakes and sins can be recycled into something good, through My transforming Grace.

While you were still living in darkness, I began to shine the Light of My Presence into your sin-stained life. Finally, I lifted you up out of the mire into My marvelous Light. having sacrificed My very Life for you, I can be trusted in every facet of your life.

Jesus Is Calling

 

        I AM WITH YOU AND FOR YOU, your constant Companion and Provider. The question is whether you are with Me and for Me. Though I never leave you , you can essentially "leave" Me by ignoring Me: thinking or acting as if I am not with you. When you feel distance in our relationship, you know where the problem lies. My love for you is constant; I am the same yesterday, today, and forever. It is you who change like sifting sand, letting circumstances toss you this way and that.

         When you feel far from Me, whisper My Name. This simple act, done in childlike faith, opens your heart to My Presence. Speak to Me in love-tones; prepare to receive My Love, which flows eternally from the cross. I am delighted when you open yourself to My loving presences.

GOD'S CALLING

      LET ME FILL YOU with my love, Joy, Peace. These are Glory-gifts, flowing from My living presence. Though you are an earthen vessel, I designed you to be filled with heavenly content. Your weakness is not a deterrent to be filled with My Spirit; on the contrary, it provides an opportunity for my Power to shine forth more brightly.

As you go through this day, trust me to provide the strength that you need moment by moment. Don't waste energy wondering whether you are adequate for today's journey. My Spirit within you is more than sufficient to handle what ever this day may bring. That is the basis for your confidence ! 

In quietness (spending time alone with Me) and in confident trust  (relying on My Sufficiency) is your strength.

God's Calling

          I MEET YOU in the stillness of your soul. It is there that I seek to commune with you.  A person who is open to My Presence is exceedingly precious to Me. My eyes search to and fro throughout the  earth, looking for one who's heart is seeking Me. I see your trying to find Me; our mutual search results in joyful fulfilment.

   Stillness of soul is increasingly rare in this world addicted to noise and speed.  I am pleased with your desire to create a quiet space where you and I can meet. Don't be discouraged by the difficulty of achieving this goal. I monitor all your efforts and am blessed by each of your attempts to seek My Face.

God's Calling

In Me You Have Everything.

In Me you are complete. Your capacity to experience Me is increasing, through My removal of debris and clutter from your heart. As your yearning for Me increases, other desires are gradually lessening. Since I am infinite and abundantly accessible to you, desiring Me above all else is the best way to live.

It is impossible for you to have a need that I cannot meet. After all I created you and all that is. The world is still at My beck and call, though it often appears other wise. Do not be fooled by appearances. 

Things that are visible are brief  and  fleeting, while things that are invisible are everlasting.

Ephesians 3:20

God's Calling

I Have Promised to meet all your needs according to My glorious  riches. 

Your deepest, most constant need is for My peace. I have planted Peace in the garden of your heart, where I live; but there are weeds growing in there too: pride, worry, selfishness, unbelief. I am the Gardener, and I am working to reed your heart of those weeds. I do My work in various ways. When you sit quietly with Me , I shine the light of My Presence directly into your heart. In this heavenly Light, Peace grows abundantly and weeds shrivel up. I also send trails into your life. 

When you trust Me in the midst of trouble, Peace flourishes and weeds die away. Thank Me for troublesome situations; the Peace they can produce far outweighs the trails you endure.
