Small Straws In A Soft Wind - April

[bluidkiti]

April 16: You are in a time of preparation when you can formulate a strategy that will accommodate the coming changes. There are options and opportunities that can be optimized to give you the most effective approach to your unfolding future. Ask Me for the wisdom and guidance you need to proceed, says the Lord. Proverbs 2:6 For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.

April 17: Honest evaluation of your life and circumstances will reveal that which keeps you from living in the Spirit. There are problems that need your attention and adjustment both internally and externally before you can thrive in My kingdom. There are things you need to embrace and things you need to release in order to be in a position for blessings and progression, says the Lord. I will lead you in the way you should go. Psalm 78:52 But He made His own people go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

April 18: Some of you, My people, need a break from the monotonous grind whether mentally or physically. You need fresh perspective of your life and purpose and the time to deliberately see through spiritual eyes. It is time to reset. Re-establish yourself in divine motivation to get beyond where you are stuck, says the Lord. Ecclesiastes 3:1 To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.

April 19: Beloved, any kind of hatred in your life as a born-again, Spirit filled believer is not acceptable. Any response other than that of My Spirit in you is not suitable. Vitriol is not of Me for I am a God of love and am no respecter of persons. The warfare that is admissible is spiritual warfare against the devil and his demons, says the Lord. It is time for every child of God to make that distinction. Galatians 5:22-24 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

April 20: There are tasks that you need to perform that would be better accomplished if you simplified the process. Ask Me to show you how that can be done. I will lead you in the way of efficiency, which will give you hope and strength to get on with it, says the Lord. This action could give you the new beginning you long for. Psalm 25:4 Show me Your ways, O LORD; Teach me Your paths.

April 21: You might feel like change is being forced upon you, but I tell you truthfully that if you will embrace this time of adjustments, you will benefit greatly in the days ahead. Don't be reluctant to let go of that which has outlived its usefulness. You cannot move forward and stay stationary at the same time. Allow Me to show you the way, says the Lord. Psalm 32:8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.

April 22: Stay true to what you know is righteous. Do not deviate from the leading of My Spirit, says the Lord. When you try to twist or alter the Word to suit your position and purpose, you are in dangerous spiritual territory. Deuteronomy 12:32 "Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it nor take away from it."

April 23: Be flexible and move with the change of season, both naturally and spiritually. Also be steadfast and immovable in your relationship with Me, says the Lord. I am your anchor, your safe haven, and your navigational star. When you are uncertain about your life and circumstances, look up. Look to Me for wisdom and direction. Psalm 84:5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, whose heart is set on pilgrimage.

April 24: You have been in a virtual desert spiritually, and you have had to fight to resist being lulled to sleep. Open your eyes wide. Your desert experience is almost over. You will soon be revitalized to achieve greater heights and a level of spiritual clarity that you have not even imagined. This will not automatically happen to you, but will be yours when you seek, stretch and strain to truly know Me, says the Lord. 1 John 5:20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

April 25: The complexities of life will require that you tackle one aspect at a time because there are many moving parts. Do not take anything for granted and refuse to presume that you understand more than you do. Remember that I am with you to help you when you ask for wisdom and direction, says the Lord. Proverbs 16:18 Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

April 26: Watch for opportunities to extend yourself beyond old limitations. Break out of the box that you have constructed for yourself, and consider your options. Reach further, go higher and deeper so that your understanding is broadened. Growth will come when you make a place for it, says the Lord. Luke 13:7-9 Then he said to the keeper of his vineyard, "Look, for three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree and find none. Cut it down; why does it use up the ground?" But he answered and said to him, "Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize it. And if it bears fruit, well. But if not, after that you can cut it down."

April 27: You are on the right track, but you have to stay focused and have patience. Spiritual discernment is more vital than ever in finding your way in the current environment, which is unfamiliar and strange. Know that I am with you and will bring clarity and direction as you move forward, says the Lord. 1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

April 28: In a vision I saw a man looking at the stars and identifying the constellation Orion. I knew this had to do with navigation and of finding his bearings. And, I heard the Lord say, "You have been in a difficult storm and are feeling unstable in many ways. Now is the time to look and see where you are and to point yourself in the direction of your destination. The storm has created a separation between that which is actually important and that which has just consumed your time and energy. Look to Me for direction and guidance." Psalms 31:3 For You are my rock and my fortress; therefore, for Your name’s sake, lead me and guide me.

April 29: I am preparing you for things that are beyond your imagination or consideration. As you determine to live according to the moving of My Spirit, you will be amazed at what you can accomplish. But you must not settle for where you are now, for it is only a stepping stone to greater things, says the Lord. Trust Me to lead you to your destiny. John 14:12 "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father."

April 30: Sometimes it seems like you are walking through a minefield. These are times when you have to carefully consider every step with an acute awareness of your circumstances and surroundings. But know that I am with you to guide you through with divine precision, says the Lord. I will help and protect you. Psalm 32:8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.
