在12月,神正在給我們一雙眼睛,讓我們用驚奇和新的信心來看待這個世界。祂正在釋放信心和勇氣,讓我們重新做夢,拿起我們已經放下的應許。祂正向我們表明祂對我們的瞭解和愛有多深,向我們講述並滿足我們心中的願望。作為神所愛的孩子來到祂身邊,並知道對神來說沒有什麼是不可能的!

為美麗而生

"神就照著自己的形像造人,乃是照著他的形像造男造女。" (創世記1:27)

在我的成長過程中,我媽媽是一個了不起的園丁。她最喜歡種花。她會買那些看起來不可能成功的植物,並為它們注入生命。現在,她的腦筋已經不如從前,但她仍然以一種強大的方式受到美的啟發和吸引。她不斷地培養著美。同樣地,我們也是為美而生的。

我們的造物主是創造美的高手。人們只需看看祂的創造物就能知道這一點。孔雀的華麗,新開放的花蕾的光輝,夕陽的色彩,瀑布的威嚴,都指向一個喜愛美的創造者。我們的造物主的標記在祂的創造物上是不可磨滅的。美無處不在,只要我們有眼睛去看。在我們所有人的內心深處,都有一種對美的敬畏和偏愛。

在文化上,有一種傾向是過度強調美或完全否定它。來自社會的資訊可能聽起來像 "不要這麼膚淺",或 "功能大於形式",可能導致我們為愛美而感到尷尬。真正的美可能看起來不切實際、輕浮、多餘或沒有必要,但對神來說不是這樣。當我們看著非常年輕的人或非常年長的人,很容易看到他們對美的吸引,以及他們對美麗事物的深刻和發自內心的欣賞、驚奇和敬畏。願我們都能回到孩子看待世界時的喜悅和好奇。美將我們與造物主連結在一起,給我們的心帶來溫暖。

神正在邀請我們回到對美的驚奇和敬畏,以孩子的期待和驚奇來看待這個世界,驚歎於我們造物主的用心,並在美中獲得榮耀。如果你覺得你已經失去了對美的驚奇,並陷入了實際的負擔中,這個詞就是為你準備的。

美是神本性的一個方面,所以花時間欣賞美是花時間欣賞神的一部分。睜開你的眼睛,看看你周圍的美。要有意識地花時間把你的心擺在驚歎中。到大自然中去散步。參觀海灘或瀑布。觀看日落並拍照,這樣你就能記住你看到的美。與神談論祂的創造。在你的生活中培養美。當你這樣做時,你會遇到神的一片心。

重新相信的新信心

"信就是所望之事的實底,是未見之事的確據。" (希伯來書11:1)

在這個時候,新的信心被激發出來,再次相信神的應許。有些人已經爭論了很久,他們的信心已經停滯不前,不再新鮮了。神現在正給你注入一種新的期待和信心,相信神給你的應許。你甚至可以說你對應許有信心,但緊迫感、期待和生命卻不像以前那樣。隨著時間的推移,你的信心已經變得乏味和蒙塵了。現在是再次相信的時候了!

信心有一種物質,可以改變靈界的事,我們知道沒有信心就不可能討神的喜悅(希伯來書11:6)。請允許神將生命注入你的心中,並把握住現在正在釋放的信心!對不可能的事的信心!對無望的情況的信心!創造奇蹟的信心!復原的信心!對豐盛的信心!神為你準備的東西太多了!現在是時候再次自信地相信了!正是在等待中,我們發展了我們的信心。

神正在靈界中傾注新的信心,供你使用。激發你的信心,使你能再次自信地抓住你的應許。信心吸引著應許來到你身邊--堅守信心,即使在你感到灰心的時候。

如果你已經厭倦了為你的應許而奮鬥,卻沒有看到它實現,那就獲得新的信心和盼望。即使你已經對你的應許失去了期望,也不會太晚。神正在將新的生命和信心重新注入你的生命中。抓住正在釋放的信心。再次激起你的信心,使你滿懷盼望。如果你自己感覺不到轉變,請朋友為你禱告。要有期待!神正在運行!

被一位慈愛的父親所認識

"我的肺腑是你所造的;我在母腹中,你已覆庇我。"(詩篇139:13)

我們的神愛我們,關心對我們來說重要的事情。我們對父神的信念是由我們在世的父親的經歷有力地塑造的。如果你在成長過程中經歷了缺席的父親,那麼你會下意識地期望從父親神那裡得到同樣的東西--你不會相信祂將出現在你身邊,或者祂甚至關心你。即使你在成長過程中有一個令人難以置信的世俗父親,祂也不是完美的,這些不完美會轉移到你對神的信念中。我們的神不僅渴望滿足你的需要,而且渴望滿足你心中的渴望。

祂想向你表明祂是多麼瞭解你,多麼愛你。祂在你母親的子宮裡編織你,祂刻意讓你變成現在這個樣子!你對祂來說是很寶貴的!祂知道你的需要和願望。祂知道你的需要和願望,祂想與你合作,見證這些願望的實現。祂不僅想給你需要的東西,而且渴望透過給你想要的東西使你高興。在整個地上,沒有人像你一樣,這是設計好的。

神正在向你展示祂是如何認識你的,以只有祂能做到的令人難以置信的方式滿足你心中的渴望。祂關心你心中的夢想和欲望,以及你內心深處的東西,只有你自己知道。如果你現在感到孤獨或未知,與神分享你心中的渴望。與祂分享甚至是最深的事情。求祂給你帶來人和關係,以只有祂能做到的方式實現你心中的夢想。帶著期望和期待觀察和等待吧 !

再次夢想

"因為,出於神的話,沒有一句不帶能力的。"(路加福音1:37)

當我們在壓力的重壓下(如通貨膨脹、失業、疾病、死亡、支付帳單、孤獨、關係問題、我們不愛的工作等)陷入困境時,對未來的夢想可能是一個挑戰。當這些事情開始消磨我們的能量和生命時,做夢會感覺越來越難。我們甚至可能沒有意識到這正在發生,但隨著時間的推移,我們可能開始感到幻滅和厭倦。我們都需要期待,否則生活會變得單調和沒有目標。許多人被困在一個沒有生命的地方,這讓人疲憊不堪。

靈界的事情正在發生變化,現在是重新做夢的時候了!突然間,事情會發生變化,因為神讓你充滿了盼望。你會感覺到你一直背負的負擔和重量突然解除,你將能夠深呼吸和放鬆。神正在轉變你的視角,讓你看到與祂一起的可能--那是以前似乎不可能的事。當你轉變為相信這是可能的,興奮和盼望將在你體內湧現。從這個地方,你會很容易地夢想未來,夢想什麼是可能的。

神正在改變你的視角,使你能夠看到在祂那裡沒有什麼是不可能的!你可以看到祂在你身上的行動。看著祂為你行動,以只有祂能做到的方式把事情排好。當你開始以一種新的方式看問題時,你會感覺到你內心再次產生夢想的欲望。如果你覺得被困住了,有一段時間沒有做夢了,這個詞是為你準備的。

你可能覺得沒有盼望,或者不知道如何前進。允許神轉變你的觀點。把你的重擔交給祂。相信祂會幫助你並代表你行動。花一些時間在祂的面前與祂一起做夢,看祂做什麼!

十二月的宣告:

1. 神正用新的奇蹟和眼睛充滿我,讓我看到周圍的美。
2. 我正在接受新的信心,期待神的應許能夠實現。
3. 神深深地瞭解我,正在滿足我心中的願望。
4. 神正在鼓勵我的心,使我能夠再次做夢。
5. 我是神的寶貝,祂的同在永遠與我同在。


God Is Stirring Fresh Faith to Believe Again!
Anne Ballard, Bedford, TX
Dec 10, 2022

In the month of December, God is giving us eyes to see the world with wonder and fresh faith. He is releasing the faith and courage to dream again and pick up promises we've laid down. He is showing us how deeply He knows and loves us by speaking to us about and fulfilling the desires of our hearts. Come to Him as a beloved child of God and know that nothing is impossible for God!

Hardwired for Beauty

"So God created mankind in His own image, in the image of God He created them; male and female He created them." (Genesis 1:27)

Growing up, my mom was an amazing gardener. She loved to grow flowers the most. She would buy plants that didn't look like they were going to make it and breathe life into them. Now, her mind isn't what it once was, but she is still inspired by and drawn to beauty in a powerful way. She cultivated beauty constantly. Likewise, we are also hardwired for beauty.

Our Creator is a master at creating beauty. One needs only look at His creation in order to know this. The splendor of a peacock, the glory of a freshly opened flower bud, the colors of a sunset, the majesty of a waterfall—all point to a Creator who loves beauty. The mark of our Creator is indelible over His creation. Beauty is everywhere, if we have the eyes to see it. Deep within all of us is a reverence and a preference for beauty.

Culturally, there's the tendency to overemphasize beauty or completely negate it. Messages from society can sound like, "Don't be so superficial," or "function over form" can cause us to feel embarrassed for loving beauty. True beauty can seem impractical, frivolous, superfluous, or unnecessary, but it isn't to God. As we look at the very young or the very old, it is easy to see their draw to beauty, and their deep and heartfelt appreciation, wonder, and awe of beautiful things. May we all return to the delight and wonder of a child as they view the world. Beauty connects us with our Creator and brings warmth to our hearts.

God is inviting us to return to wonder and reverence for beauty, to view the world with the expectancy and wonder of a child, to marvel at the intentionality of our Creator, and to glory in beauty. If you feel that you have lost your wonder for beauty and have become caught up in the burdens of the practical, this word is for you.

Beauty is an aspect of God's nature, so taking time to appreciate beauty is part of taking time to appreciate Him. Open your eyes to see the beauty that's all around you. Be intentional and take time to posture your heart in wonder. Go for a walk in nature. Visit a beach or a waterfall. Watch the sunset and take pictures so you can remember the beauty that you saw. Talk to God about His creation. Cultivate beauty in your life. As you do, you will encounter a piece of God's heart. (Photo via Unsplash)

Fresh Faith to Believe Again

"Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." (Hebrews 11:1)

Fresh faith is being stirred up at this time to believe again in the promises of God. Some people have been contending for so long that their faith has grown stagnant and is no longer fresh. God is infusing you right now with a new level of expectancy and faith to believe for the promises God has given you. You might still even say that you have faith for the promise, but the urgency, expectancy and life are not present like they once were. Over time, your belief has become lackluster and dusty. It is time to BELIEVE AGAIN!

There is a substance to faith that changes things in the spirit realm, and we know that it is impossible to please God without it (Hebrews 11:6). Allow God to breathe life into your heart and take hold of the faith that is being released right now! Faith for the impossible! Faith for hopeless situations! Faith for miracles! Faith for restoration! Faith for abundance! There is so much more that God has for you! It is time to confidently believe again! It's in the waiting that we develop our faith.

God is pouring out fresh faith in the spirit realm for you to access. Stir up your faith so that you can confidently grab hold of your promise once more. Faith attracts the promise to you—hold fast to faith, even when you feel discouraged.

If you have been weary of contending for your promise and not seeing it come to pass, access fresh faith and hope. It is not too late, even if you have lost expectancy for your promise. God is breathing fresh life and faith back into your being. Grab hold of the faith that is being released. Stir up your faith again so that you are overflowing with hope. Ask a friend to pray for you if you don't feel the shift on your own. Be expectant! God is moving!

Known by a Loving Father

"For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother's womb." (Psalm 139:13)

Our God loves us and cares about the things that matter to us. Our beliefs about Father God are shaped powerfully by our experience of our earthly father. If you experienced an absent father when you were growing up, then you will subconsciously expect the same from Father God—you won't believe that He will show up for you, or that He even cares for you. Even if you had an incredible earthly father growing up, He wasn't perfect, and these imperfections can get transferred to your beliefs about God. Our God longs to meet not only your needs, but the desires of your heart.

He wants to show you how well He knows you and how much He loves you. He knit you together inside your mother's womb, and He made you just as you are on purpose! You are precious to Him! He knows your needs and desires, and He wants to partner with you in seeing them happen. Not only does He want to give you what you need, but He longs to delight you by giving you what you want. There is no one like you in all the earth, and that was by design.

God is showing you how He knows you by meeting the desires of your heart in incredible ways that only He can. He cares about the dreams and desires on your heart and the things deep inside of you that only you know. If you are feeling alone or unknown right now, share with God the desires in your heart. Share with Him even the deepest things. Ask Him to bring you people and connections and to fulfill the dreams in your heart in the way that only He can. Watch and wait with expectation and anticipation! (Photo via Unsplash)

Dream Again

"For nothing will be impossible with God." (Luke 1:37)

When we get bogged down under the weight of stressors (e.g. inflation, job loss, illness, death, paying bills, loneliness, relationship trouble, a job we don't love, etc.), it can be a challenge to dream of the future. As these things begin to zap our energy and life, dreaming can feel harder and harder. We may not even realize that this is happening, but over time we can start to feel disillusioned and jaded. We all need things to look forward to or life becomes monotonous and without purpose. Many are trapped in a lifeless place, and it is exhausting.

Things are shifting in the spirit realm, and it is time to dream again! Suddenly things will change as God fills you with hope. You will feel the burden and weight you've been carrying lift suddenly, and you'll be able to breathe deeply and relax. God is shifting your perspective to allow you to see what's possible with Him—that which seemed impossible before. Excitement and hope will bubble up inside of you as you shift into believing it's possible. From this place, it becomes easy to dream of the future and of what's possible.

God is shifting your perspective so you can see that nothing is impossible with Him! Watch as He moves on your behalf, lining things up as only He can. As you begin to see in a new way, you'll feel the desire to dream again arise within you. If you have felt stuck and haven't been dreaming for some time, this word is for you.

You may feel hopeless or not know how to move forward. Allow God to shift your perspective. Give your burdens to Him. Trust Him to help you and move on your behalf. Spend some time in His presence dreaming with Him, and watch what He does!
