This is what the LORD of Heaven’s Armies says: “Turn from your evil ways, and stop all your evil practices (Zechariah 1:4 (NLT)”. Have you felt a stirring within you to come closer to God? Are you aware that the Holy Spirit is God, and it is He who is doing the stirring? The Lord in Heaven moves in seasons and appointed times. He makes all things beautiful in His time. If you are crying out for something better, why not cry out for something new! Now is the time to return to the Lord as He is waiting to return to you. He waits to bestow His mercy on you. He can only do that when you exalt Him over yourself. Humble yourself and draw close to Him. Put yourself under his Hand so He will in
Acts 3:19 (TPT) And now you must repent and turn back to God so that your sins will be removed, and so that times of refreshing will stream from the Lord’s presence.

But yet Jesus comes down to where you are because He loves you. He desires for you to know His love for you. The lilies are His children who do not worry or carry weights too heavy for them to bear. The burden of their Lord is light. These are the sons and daughters of God who know the Lord comes down from heaven to visit them. The Holy Spirit lives in them, and they walk in the Spirit because He a
But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ (2 Corinthians 11:3 KJV). What complicates your life? Do the daily pressures you face overwhelm you? Are you prone to worry excessively rather than expect a good outcome? Do you have an all or nothing attitude regarding every task that compels you? Are you driven instead of led? Can your thoughts push you to the brink of madness?
