Today is Decmber 1, 2009 and I am declaring that this month of December IS the best Christmas ever!!! I am calling it forth by faith and with great expectation in the mighty name of Jesus! My heart is open and fully surrendered to what the Holy Spirit wants to do in my life for His glory and for my good as well as for others.

Last night I attended a free Webinar by Dr. Randy Peck, an ” Introduction to UNCOMMON Stewardship.” Tonight his four week class begins on “How to Steward Your Time, Talent, Treasure and Temple Through Journaling,” to quickly experience breakthroughs in many areas of your life. This is what is going to kickstart my greatest Christmas ever! I am ready to roll and to learn and apply all that I will learn. I am making room for improvements and for bringing balance into my life in some major areas.

This has been an amazing year of challenges and great transition for me starting with a layoff in January of 2009. I knew from the start that it was a “blessing in disguise” and that God had a plan to REPOSITION me for His plan for my life. With that in mind, I kept my eyes on Jesus all year and He truly has been faithful. He has been guiding me through it all, directing my every step! I can say that I have fought hard to resist the devil and all the fear he has thrown at me to derail me. I have experienced great peace and joy in Christ! God has opened some HUGE doors of great opportunity for me and I am walking through them totally trusting Him for the outcome!

This morning before I began journaling, I put on some praise music and worshiped the Lord for an hour. He abides in the praises of His people. In the presence of His light and glory, darkness has to flee. Praise is the greatest weapon of a believer to push back the enemy. PRAISE IS OUR VICTORY SONG WE SING EVEN BEFORE WE SEE THE VICTORY MANIFEST. IT IS OUR CORRESPONDING ACT OF FAITH. God tells us in James 2:17 that faith without works is dead.

The Lord led me to two scriptures. I meditated on them .

Psalm 119:11 Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You.

2 Samuel 22:31 As for God, His way is perfect; The Word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.

I journaled my thanksgiving to the Lord for His Word and for being my shield. I then had a vision. In the spirit I was seeing when God, through His faith filled words, spoke things into existence. That substance became the very thing He spoke. I pictured Him speaking His Word to me and as He did, that substance created a supernatural shield and barrier all around me to protect me from the things outside of His Word.

All that He speaks to me by His Word, to me and about me – I AM – BECAUSE HE SAID IT AND THAT SETTLES IT! I SET MY HEART AND MY MIND TO COME INTO AGREEMENT WITH HIS WORD! His Word is proven as 2 Samuel 22:31 declares. I trust in God and His Word and in doing that I am covered by His shield. When I commit to God’s Word in Psalm 119:11, I will stay within the presence and protection of His Word, a proven shield. I will not sin against My God when I keep His Word in my heart.

God’s Word/Jesus is my very life. His breath is my life and it delivers the Word, His zoe life to me. HIS WORDS ARE THE CONTAINERS OF THE FAITH FILLED SUBSTANCE THAT CREATE MY REALITY. I choose to agree with and honor His proven spoken Word. I choose to abide in it. I resist any counterfeit or idle words the enemy speaks to me and tries to get me to think about and agree with.

God’s very Word, Jesus, was wrapped in flesh and sent to this earth to give His life TO ME and FOR ME and for all mankind. I treasure that Word. I abide in that Word. I love Jesus with everything in my being. I recorded my prayer: THANK YOU JESUS, for living in my heart. Lead me by your Holy Spirit that I might not sin against You. WHEN I fall short I will repent before you and ask for forgiveness so I can continually walk in right standing with You. May Your Word be continually in my heart, in my thoughts, on my lips, and in my deeds, so that the “FABRIC OF MY LIFE” will bring glory and honor to You in Jesus name. Amen.

God immediately responded to me with a WORD FROM JESUS about the FABRIC OF MY LIFE and how He is weaving it all into a beautiful tapestry for others to see and read for His glory! Tomorrow, God willing, I will share on my blog post what He said to me about the fabric of our lives. It will bless you! STAY TUNED.

In Christ,
