Your faith is like the faith of a little child. You look not on what is around you but on My promises. My heart bleeds afresh with tender mercy whenever I see your misty eyes. I have been wiping your tears with the gentle blow of the wind, sweeping them to Heaven where I collect them. I pour them back over your life with a gentle rain of promise and answered prayer. They are incense to Me. Please, in all you do, remember, love covers a multitude of sins – yours and those around you.

The Gift of Unwavering, Steadfast Faith
I have dwelt with you in your times of adoration. Your contemplations are sweet, aromatic moments to Me. They waft up through the heavens like sweet perfume. They enter My senses like the smell of spring rain and produce an abundance of fruitfulness in your life as I release them back to you in showers of blessing.
Removing Barriers Of Unbelief – A Key To Intimacy With The Lord – Part Two
It is my belief that most of our inability to love God is based on lies we believe about Him…lies often formed in our own wrong belief system according to what we have experienced at the hand of men or circumstances…and a misunderstanding of the Word and God’s nature. Our greatest hindrance to loving God is to believe we are not loved. How can we truly be intimate with someone we aren’t sure loves us?
Are You A Friend Indeed?
According to the Word a friend—a brother in Christ is born for adversity. What is adversity anyway? It is hardship, difficulty, danger; unfavorable experiences and yes even great suffering just too mention a few. Many times we judge in times of adversity. I have seen many judging those they know who get sick, have financial issues and so on as being in sin. Nothing is ever that simple. I am not saying there aren’t consequences to sin which sometimes lead to adversity. However, I am saying, “Be careful.” The Scriptures say we are born to bear up one another’s burdens and are called to restore them in a spirit of gentleness. We are to do this keeping in mind our own vulnerability to temptation
My Love Endures Forever
I am ever present with you, no matter what you may be experiencing or feeling. I am present in all your trouble (Psalms 46:1) I am not bound by your emotions or situations. I am Your ever adoring and loving Father who delights in you every moment of your life (1 John 3:1). I particularly enjoy your times of quiet rest. Your times of respite are very precious to Me and enable Me to speak in ways I otherwise could not.
You Are My Five Star General And I Have Plans For You
Joy says to you this morning, “I am your strength. I am the joy of your salvation, so don’t focus on your lack (Psalms 95:1; Psalms 118:15). Focus with a grateful heart on all the Lord has done in bygone days. Focus on the promises He has given you with a heart of faith. Feast on His acts of goodness, and look to the future with anticipation and desperation for more.”
The Bridge By Apostle John Dean
The pastor of the local Baptist church was baptizing some new converts in the creek. I got off my bike and leaned over the railing of the bridge so I could watch the service. Since I did not go to church, that was the first time I had ever seen anyone baptized. When the first person went down into the water and came up, everyone on the shore started clapping and laughing.
Angels Are Dancing, Paradigms Are Shifting
Holy Spirit is descending, shrouding, and overshadowing you in a cloak of peace and comfort (John 14:16). Your comforter has come to enclose you in the secret place within the wings of My heart, within the feathers of My comfort. Beloved one, once so fearful of Me, you are now enclosed in the beauty of My heart, radiating My glory.
Fear Of Aging By Apostle John Dean
In our fast paced society we spend millions of dollars annually trying to keep ourselves young. We must avoid the appearance of aging at all cost. Gray hair, no hair, pudgy belly and wrinkles must be from the pits of hell or at least from some ancient civilization that never learned there was a better way. Why wouldn’t any decent thinking individual avail himself of hair color, implants, work out rooms, liposuction and face lifts, to keep his youth? After all, isn’t it better for the grandchildren to see their grandfather as “Joe Cool” with the body of Arnold Schwarzenegger and the face and craftiness of 007 rather then just plan old boring grandpa?
A Promise Given, A Promise Kept – God, The Original & Ultimate Promise Keeper
Beloved, I am not excusing the practice of breaking promises or not living up to covenant; but, I am saying that men are men and just like you they fail…they miss the mark. This is where grace and a true understanding of provision come in to save the day. This is where knowing one’s value to the King of Kings can make or break the day…can determine if it is filled with joy and trust or if it is filled with anxiety, self-doubt or even worse…having a heart filled with offense, bitterness and resentment at the one who failed to keep their promise…who failed to keep their covenant.
