Prayers of Praise!

The Father says today,

"Rid yourself from any doubt that I won't do what I have promised. Don't just prune the tree of unbelief but take an ax to the trunk and see it fall. Today you will begin a journey of faith like none other. While you once easily professed my name and was challenged by others at its power, your faith will be increased within you and your declarations will manifest before your eyes and theirs! Today, you will water that tree of faith and see the fruit of hope hanging beneath its branches. You have matured. Your faith has matured. When you are coming to me you are no longer asking for gifts but you are asking for time-- time with Me yields much fruit and uncovers many treasures and gifts you could not see otherwise.

Look beneath the leaves from the tree of life and remember that everything you have is because I gave it to you, says the Father. I only remind you because you are going to be looking for a storehouse to keep everything I am about to give you next. Prepare yourself for the greater portion. Prepare yourself to receive and house and multiply the greater portion of blessing, provision, and anointing. You may need to write a second book, open a second account, build another barn or buy a second home- it is all for storage of the provision I am bringing to My people.

Your hands are cracked and dried from too much worry- let not your prayers be as worry- let them be transformed into prayers of praise! The oil of JOY will heal those cracked dry places! Decide right now to trust me again and do what I have asked of you. This week, you will open up that door, you will close the one that no longer serves you- you will trim the tree from those dry dead branches that are not producing fruit. and you will count it all joy! Don't worry- I will lead you to the tree of abundance. You may have to take the hatchet to more than one- even a good well-intentioned tree may not be producing from the roots of the tree of life. Be rooted in Me as you go. Remain rooted in me as you pursuit Me and My destiny for you. Those branches trimmed from the tree will be kindling for the fire that keeps you warm. Your pursuit of me will keep you warm and it will increase your ability to hear and perceive more clearly like never before. Forbid doubt from snuffing out that flame. Dare yourself to believe once more- believe like never before.

Your faith is far beyond "help me with my unbelief" prayers, you are shaky merely because you stand in my presence and know what I say is true-- My words will not return to me void! I will not give you strife, sorrow or suffering after I bless you. I will never add sorrow to what I am about to do. Smile this hour as your spirit leans forward and drinks in the truth- I am for you. I am your Deliverer- I will see you delivered. I will ensure your safety. I will see you healed. Trust Me. Listen to My voice- the quiet voice that beckons you to close the book, turn off the news, and simply sit with Me. Many have sat with distractions to try to ease their pains...let Me come to you as Healer and Friend. This month you will enjoy my word, not only early in the morning, but you will take My word as one drinks a cool glass of water before bed. I am going to stretch and work your faith into a dough without yeast and by the end of this month, you will be serving the bread yourself as you sup with Me-- we will break the bread and feed the masses together! The end of the year will see you celebrating and those whom you have cared for will celebrate their freedom with you," says the Father.

Perhaps the ancients knew the power of words better than we do. Words can conceal, reveal, destroy, and encourage. Words are extremely powerful, so Wisdom urges us to use a few carefully chosen words and to pick our conversations equally well. (Notes from The Voice Proverbs 10:22)

The blessing of the Eternal is what makes someone rich, and He doesn’t add pain to it. Proverbs 10:22 The Voice

True enrichment comes from the blessing of the Lord, with rest and contentment (Or “with no labor or sorrow attached.”) in knowing that it all comes from him. Proverbs 10:22 TPT
