Faith versus Fear-Fly with Eagles Wings

"Fear opposes faith. You place limits on your faith so I take you as far as your limits. Have I been faithful to lead you thus far?"  (GOD)
Quote tweeted by Sandy Warner

"Fear freezes faith. Time to adjust your wings eagles!"

"Your Destiny is not anchored in your past."

"Mr Can't never did anything anyway."

"Even God has trouble driving a parked car!"
Nancy Hartman Minor (God told me this when I was 20.)

Word of The Lord:
Fear clouds your eyes and heart.  Faith gives you the
ability to see the possibilities! Come fly with Me. Soar on the 
Updraft of My Love. Rise up above the storms. Even as  My Word 
says they shall MOUNT UP with eagles wings... Isaiah 40:31
To "mount up" means to get on top of and ride like a rider upon a horse. 
It means to use a negative to spring board up and over, like a gymnast. 
To mount up means to ascend, to rise above. It means to fly into the face of the storm and to use it to your own advantage to go higher and higher.

Have I not said, I have seated you in heavenly places with Christ Jesus?  
My son broke the barriers and chains that would hold you back. He looked 
Fear in the face and cut off its head! So when it comes rages at you like a flood threatening to overwhelm and swamp you... remember it is a headless rider that has already been defeated.  So pick up your Sword and shield of Faith and knock him off his high horse!  

Beloved you dwell too much in the realm of feelings.  Regardless of how you "feel" or how it "seems,"  you must position yourself upon My Word and not be moved!

There will be those who will rail against you for taking such a stance.  Pay them no mind.  It will be to you they come to in the midst of their next storm, seeking your prayers and Godly advice!  There will be those who scoff and scorn, but secretly they hope for more and yearn to have what you have!  As much as they try to knock you off course, inside they are hoping you will stand and show them Me.

Beloved, number your days in such a way, that they see Me at the beginning, and the end and all the way through. For I hold you in My hand and watch the unfolding of My plan for you and it is my very Life that sees your through.  In ME you live. In ME you find breath and purpose. In Me is positioned your very BEING. 

ALL things are held together in Me.  When you feel like your world is falling apart... know it is just a little re arranging taking place.  Make room for My Glory.  Look to Me and be lightened, be settled and established.  Just as My Word is forever settled in Heaven, it must be forever settled in your heart and then when the enemy comes you too will say, the prince of this world comes but he has nothing in me. (John 14:30)

Beloved, rise up to the upward call. Just as I called to John to come up higher, I am beckoning to you.  There is much yet to do, and yet in a little while it shall be done!  Keep looking for the Glory of My Son! And as you spend that time looking into My Word, you will see more and more of His Likeness unfolding in thee, setting you free, to come and soar on the wings of faith in the heavenlies!

Divine Appointments by Brenda Craig

Divine Appointments
Posted By Brenda On March 30, 2012 @ 2:00 am In Word of the Day | 1 Comment
“And such some of you were [once]. But you were washed clean (purified by a complete atonement for sin and made free from the guilt of sin), and you were consecrated (set apart, hallowed), and you were justified [pronounced righteous, by trusting] in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the [Holy] Spirit of our God” (I Corinthians 6:11 Amplified).
Word of the Day
Beloved, I am sending divine contacts, arranging everything down to even the indiscernible details. Have faith. Can you see the light of the stars traveling through the heavens? Can you see the fish swimming in the deepest fathoms of the ocean? Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. It is the same with all I am doing in your life. I am working on many fronts to bring things about.
It is important to see things from a heavenly perspective, not an earthly one. The Word I have spoken continues on and on like the light of many stars, traveling until it hits the object of its affection. In the days to come you must learn the principle of seeing from My perspective. You must learn to see from the position given to you in Me.

Yes, the door of heaven is open to you, over you and you are forever within heaven’s habitation. Keep on coming, keep on receiving without question or doubt. You will not be disappointed.

Do not give in to any seeds of unbelief. Do not look too introspectively at your own heart. Look at Mine and know you are in Me and I am in you. Only respond to conviction, not guilt. My conviction, never and I mean never, releases guilt or shame. Confess and move on in Me. I have freed you from the guilt of sin (1 Corn. 6:11).

Beloved, don’t keep Me waiting based on your wrong misconceptions or a need to produce some kind of penance. I have already paid the price. Accept this and move on. Time is short and I need you. You are an amazing part of an incredibly intricate plan. Right now at this very moment necessary contacts are being planned, divine appointments are being arranged. It is essential that you be there when they are revealed. Their time as well as yours has come…Read Complete Love Letter… [1]

Prayer
Lord, You paid the ultimate price and made way for me to be where You are—to see things from Your vantage point. Many times I get discouraged because I can’t see with my eyes what You have spoken to me. I can’t see in the natural what Your Word says already is. Just as Your words “let there be light” continue on through the constant birthing of new stars, so shall the Word You have spoken over my life continue until it releases all You have planned.

I embrace the open door of Heaven and the position given to me in You, Lord. I refuse all doubt and unbelief. Negative words of men are of no consequence to me and they have no power when I embrace the truth. You paid the price for me and I accept the fullness of provision Your life has given to me. I accept Your perfect sacrifice and I move on to move in sync with You. Divine appointments await me and some have even come to me. My eyes are open and my ears attentive to Your voice; therefore, I will not miss one contact necessary to the fulfillment of Your plans for me or the ones I meet. My time and theirs has come. I am listening. Amen
Reflect and Journal
1. Reflect on the many people and situations the Lord has sent into your life to further your progress and bring you one more step into the fulfilling of destiny.
2. What promises have you let go by the wayside because you didn’t see what you expected when you expected to see it?
3. In what areas are you too introspective and have the tendency to give sway to guilt and shame? In what areas have you been walking in unbelief and are these areas connected in any way to guilt, shame or the need to pay penance in order to move on? Confess for not believing the blood of Jesus is enough. Release them. Expressing this in your journal will help you now and at a later date.
4. Reflect on the difference between guilt/condemnation and conviction. One speaks death and one brings freedom and life.
5. Take some time to walk to the open door of Heaven and listen. Do this by quiet worship with a heart to hear what Holy Spirit is saying, time to hear which Words He wants to bring to your remembrance.
