God speaks to us. Oftentimes, it’s a quiet whisper, a gentle nudge, an inspired thought we seem to have. As we look back at our journey thus far, we notice those places where the Lord has spoken to us, guiding us, encouraging us on. Sometimes, we took heed to His word; other times we may have chosen to ignore it. Nevertheless, He is speaking.
The words of encouragement will minister to your spirit and give you the strength to press your way. If your spirit is restless, all you have to do is spend some time meditating in these pages, listening to His voice, and He will bring peace into your spirit. If you find yourself going through a valley season, stop right where you are and begin to praise the Lord for the things He is doing in you that are yet to be revealed. The Lord loves you and He will be there to see you through your darkest hour.
This devotional journal will help you build a closer relationship with the Lord. The words of encouragement are filled with compassion and love and will remind us that the Lord is listening, and He cares about even our smallest need. The words will provide the strength and comfort needed to enable you to stand and resist the attacks of the enemy. As you read through the daily words, take some time to meditate on what you’ve read, then listen carefully to what the Holy Spirit shares with you. Write down your thoughts, prayers, or whatever impressions you receive from the Holy Spirit, so when it comes to pass, you will remember the day the Lord spoke a word in your life. Use this devotional, not only as a source to receive a word from the Lord, but also as an instrument for you to talk with the Lord regarding what you’re going through each day.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I was inspired by the Lord to write this devotional during my prayer and meditation time. These words of encouragement will minister to the “weary warriors,” “those with broken spirits,” and the “despondent pursuers” who are seeking after God’s heart and want to know Him in a more intimate way. These words from the Father’s heart will encourage and comfort you as you battle through your valley days. If your faith is dwindling, and sometimes you find it difficult to keep looking up, then you’ve found the right book.

GET STARTED ON YOUR DREAM
It is time for us to get busy and be obedient to the things the Lord has given us to do. Those things we have put off with the intention of doing someday should be done now. Getting around to it and having good intentions are not the same as walking in obedience. Obedience means we have completed the task the Lord asked us to do. I encourage you this day to get started moving in the right direction. Yes, get started moving in a positive direction; only speak positive things about yourself and into your life. Believe God can use you.
Do not allow the enemy to cast his spirit of fear upon you. The Lord didnʹt give you a spirit of fear. Keep your eyes on the vision, don’t look back, and don’t give up. Enter into a spirit of praise and thanksgiving and begin to get excited about what the Lord is doing in your life. Keep your eyes on the vision and prayerfully move toward your goals daily. Remember, visions don’t always come to pass overnight; therefore, be patient, and just keep moving. Move beyond what your natural eyes can see.
There will be times when everything will seem to be at a standstill, and in the natural, it will look like all hope is gone. However, that is the time to press your way and keep your eyes on the Lord. Stand knowing you are more than a conqueror through Christ Jesus. Lean on the Lord for strength to fight the good fight of faith. His grace is more than enough to see you through. The Lord wants you to receive all the blessings He has for you. Take steps in obedience towards your vision, and don’t ever quit.
Donʹt just have good intentions; be a doer of the Word. Push your way past the doubt, the hurt, and the pain. The only thing that will stop the blessing God has for you is you! If you stop believing and trusting in His promises, you will miss the blessing. Put the enemy under your feet. God has given you the authority to tread upon the enemy. Go after the vision the Lord gave you in the power of His name. Shout it from the mountaintop! This is it! Enough is enough! I can do all things through Christ Jesus, who strengthens me. Let nothing stand in your way!
Now, let’s get started on that dream!

Let This Year Be Your Year
Let this year begin a new season for you, not a time to look back, but to look forward. Let it be a time where trusting in the things of this world decreases and trusting in Me increases. Starting now, dwell in My Presence like never before, so I can reveal more of Myself to you. It’s time to reap the harvest and tear down the strongholds of the enemy. Allow this year to be one of renewed praise and worship, of drawing nearer to Me. I want the things of Heaven to become so real to you that when the enemy attacks, you will laugh at how weak he is because the Greater One lives in you. Let this year change your way of thinking so things you once thought of as supernatural become the natural for you. All of this will happen if you expect Me to do exceedingly abundant things in your life. It’s time for those who least expected to succeed to come forth, because you were secretly trained by Me, and it’s a new season in your life. It’s a season for greater things in Christ Jesus.

A Clean Heart
I know you’re excited about this season, but before you move into a new season, let’s resolve the old issues. I speak of such things as unforgiveness and bitterness against others and yourself. Clear the spiritual air so you can stand righteously before Me, made clean by the blood of Christ. Don’t allow these things to exist in your fresh spiritual environment. Don’t allow them to defile the brand new opportunities I have waiting for you. Prepare your heart to come boldly into My presence and refuse to allow anything to come between us. Extend forgiveness to others, and then My child, forgive yourself. It’s a new season in your life; don’t dwell on the hurt anymore. It is time for you to be done with all the things that have held you in bondage and be free. Enter this new season with a clean heart.

Allow Me to Encourage You
I don’t want you to give in to discouragement. That’s what the enemy wants you to do. He is trying to discourage you by setting obstacles and hindrances in your past, so you will lose focus and wallow in self‐pity. He wants to overwhelm you. He knows that the more you focus on the problems, the more they appear to be insurmountable. The best way to resist the enemy and his spirit discouragement is to immerse yourself in My word and sing songs of praise. When you keep a song of praise on your lips, you will stay focused on Me. When your mind is on Me, you will see that I am more than able to work My glory in every situation. Let this truth bring peace to your heart, comfort to your soul, and joy to your innermost being. There is no difficulty that you will ever face that I can’t turn around because nothing catches Me unprepared. Look expectantly to Me and allow Me to encourage you and lead you to complete victory.
