August 1: When you focus on things you cannot do, you are likely to get discouraged. There are things that you can and should do at this time. Set yourself to do what you can to overcome darkness and live in the light of My grace. I am with you to ultimately bring you through to victory. Be strong and resolute. John 15:5 "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing."

August 2: Do not despair. Your breakthrough will come. It will be like the breaking of a dam, which begins as a trickle and then bursts forth in ways that are unstoppable. Right now, today, that seems to be an impossibility. But it will come. Your hope and faith in Me will bring forth its reward. Wait for it. Hebrews 10:35-36 Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise.

August 3: I speak to those who feel like a race horse waiting for the gate to open. Your prancing up and down will not make the gate open any quicker. Settle down. Conserve your strength and energy. The time will come when you can run the race again, and you will run well. Now is not that time. Be patient. Luke 21:19 "By your patience possess your souls."

bluidkiti · 08-04-2020, 08:27 AM

August 4: Take advantage of the uniqueness of this season to do internal work. Examine your thought life and see how you respond to others. Be honest about the things you fear, for those things will undermine your faith. You choose a different outcome of your thoughts and actions when you turn from evil and unbelief. Ask for revelation of the condition of your soul, and it will be revealed to you by the Spirit. Luke 11:9 "So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you."

bluidkiti · 08-05-2020, 06:29 AM

August 5: When you feel distant or far away from Me, it is not I who moved away. You have become distracted with the issues of life and things of the world. Religious culture and ritual will not bring you back. It is your desire to know Me and your effort to come into My presence that will narrow this widening gap. Seek Me with an undivided heart. Psalm 53:2 God looks down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are any who understand, who seek God.

August 6: In a vision I could see large groups of people half asleep, yawning and stretching as they tried to wake up. Many of them were so groggy that they couldn't get on their feet. The enemy had drugged them with complacency. Then, some of them began to deliberately shake their hands, arms and legs to get life flowing again. It seemed as though their eyes were still stuck shut, but they were doing what they could to wake up and feel alive. Others just rolled over and went back to sleep. Isaiah 60:1-2 Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; but the Lord will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you.

bluidkiti · 08-07-2020, 07:13 AM

August 7: Your relationship with Me is similar to every other relationship. Neglect will erode the closeness that is necessary in maintaining a good connection. Staying connected to Me is vital to your spiritual well-being, so you must take the time and make the effort to stay close. Avoid things that are upsetting and rob you of intimacy and peace. John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."

bluidkiti · 08-08-2020, 04:17 AM

August 8: Keep your soul pure as you strive to be straightforward and honest. These are days when you cannot always trust those around you to tell the unvarnished truth. Prejudice will twist the facts to fit a certain narrative. Open your heart and mind to know that which is correct, accurate and genuine without personal bias. The devil is a liar and the father of lies. 1 Peter 3:10 For "He who would love life and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit."

bluidkiti · 08-09-2020, 07:16 AM

August 9: When things become to difficult and complex, focus on the basics of what is important to your well-being. Get back to the word of God and the power of redemption through the Cross of Calvary. Establish yourself again in things that actually matter in terms of eternity. Refocus and regain your sense of simplicity. 1 Corinthians 1:18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

bluidkiti · 08-10-2020, 06:41 AM

August 10: Refuse to allow condemnation to dominate your thoughts and actions. This is a work of the carnal nature and of feeling like you don't measure up. When you live and walk in the Spirit it is no longer you who live, but Christ who lives in and through you. Instead of beating yourself up, recognize who you belong to and remember your divine connection and destination. Galatians 2:20 "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me."

bluidkiti · 08-11-2020, 06:10 AM

August 11: To those who are grappling with a difficult problem, remember that you can ask Me and I will give you a solution. I will show you the way. Stand firm on the assurance that I will help you. Do not fret or worry. Silence your inner turmoil so that you can hear My still, small voice. Zechariah 2:13 "Be silent, all flesh, before the Lord, for He is aroused from His holy habitation!"

bluidkiti · 08-12-2020, 07:16 AM

August 12: Your uncertainty does not reflect My heart. I am never uncertain. I know the beginning and the end and everything in between. And I call you to be in the spiritual place where you trust so completely in My ability to lead and guide you that you are not uncertain either. Your natural mind wants to worry, but your spirit, grounded in Me, will choose to trust. Be strong and unwavering. Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

bluidkiti · 08-13-2020, 06:57 AM

August 13: If you seek Me for wisdom, I will give you perfect solutions to what seem to be difficult problems. In these situations you often forget that you can call on Me for answers. Change your mindset to always look to Me for knowledge and good judgment in every circumstance. I will not disappoint you. Psalm 51:6 Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts, and in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom.

bluidkiti · 08-14-2020, 06:15 AM

August 14: Develop an attitude of patient endurance in these times of suffering. You have indeed endured times of difficulty and unpleasantness. But, just as I (your Lord) suffered to eradicate sin, you can use your current suffering to overcome the carnal nature and become a better person. Do not despise these days, but rather use every situation to your spiritual advantage. 1 Peter 5:10 But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

August 15: Beloved, refuse to allow frustration to cloud your judgment. It is easy for your emotions to dominate, but that's not the best course of action for you. Settle down and be pragmatic. Work every problem by being realistic and sensible. And always seek Me for guidance in solving difficult problems. James 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.
