Prepare Ye the Way
When we go before our children, our spiritual children, we break up the ground before them. When we walk in the Word, adhere to, carry out the Word, it prepares their way.

The Lord loves you, whether you love him or reject him. He doesn’t favor one person over another since scripture says he’s no respecter of persons (Acts 10:34). There are ramifications in our daily lives, and ultimately our destiny, however, depending on whether we receive and confess Jesus as our Lord or keep on rejecting Him.

Else, we permit evil circumstances to come against us each day, regardless of our knowledge or ignorance of these principles. Worse, we question or even blame our Heavenly Father on how he could have allowed us to have such a bad day!
God wants your worries and your fears, ALL of them! In 2010, the Lord spoke to me about the things that were worrying me. He told me that it was time for me to give them to Him. And, that once I had given them all to Him, that I must not take them…
