August 1: You have been in a long season of setting things straight and of fixing that which needed attention. That season is coming to a close. There are still issues that need to be addressed before you can truly move on. Be diligent to do all that is necessary in order to sufficiently close the book on the past. Prepare to enter your new spiritual year with a clean slate, says the Lord. Philippians 3:13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead.

August 2: Sometimes I say Yes; sometimes I say No; sometimes I say Whoa. It is up to you to develop your discernment and a hearing ear, which takes practice. Spend the time and make the effort to have a relationship with My Holy Spirit so that you can see and hear in the realm of the spirit, says the Lord. Luke 11:13 "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!"

August 3: Let there be an end to whining and be thankful. I have been with you every step of the way. I have shown you things that you would never have been aware of. I have directed you and kept you. You are My chosen. Strive to maintain sweet relationship with Me, says the Lord, and access the strength and perfection that I have provided. 1 Chronicles 16:34 Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.

August 4: Even though the temptation is great to make comparisons and measure yourself and others according to arbitrary standards, it is not good. It is an effort in futility and has no positive outcome at all. My desire is that you look to Me for direction, guidance, and correction and allow Me to lead you in ways that will have a good outcome, says the Lord, and leave others alone. 2 Corinthians 10:12 For we dare not class ourselves or compare ourselves with those who commend themselves. But they, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.

August 5: Alignment is an important factor in your well-being. Spiritually it is important to be aligned with My Word of truth and with the leading of My Spirit. It is also vital to be aligned emotionally and mentally with righteous thoughts and intentions. And, if you do not sustain physical alignment you can experience weakness in your body. Your vitality in all areas will depend on maintaining a close relationship with Me, says the Lord. Psalm 139:14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well.

bluidkiti · 08-06-2019, 10:12 AM

August 6: You have come to a turning point where that which has concerned you is coming to a conclusion. As one chapter ends a new one begins. You can now evaluate the past season with objectivity to see what you might have done differently. This should not be a time of condemnation, but one of reflection and instruction. Take this opportunity to grow, says the Lord. Proverbs 27:19 As in water face reflects face, so a man’s heart reveals the man.

bluidkiti · 08-07-2019, 04:45 AM

August 7: The difficulties that you face will be easily overcome as long as you put your faith and hope in Me, says the Lord. Continue to seek Me and deliberately come into My presence to acquire help and guidance. I Am your Living God. I am not a story from long ago or a Sunday-school fable. Come and partner with Me in all that you do, says the Lord. Psalm 84:2 My soul longs, yes, even faints for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

bluidkiti · 08-08-2019, 01:36 AM

August 8: Seriously consider where you have been and where you are now spiritually. Be done with the distractions that have accompanied the challenges you have faced and come closer to Me, says the Lord. Take the necessary steps that will actually position you to achieve victory, says the Lord. Philippians 3:12 Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me.

August 9: Because of life's circumstances and pressures, it will be easy to overreact and go beyond a reasonable response. These times require a healthy dose of self-control so that you do not go too far in the wrong direction. You would do well to carefully consider a correct and sensible reaction to every situation, says the Lord. 2 Peter 1:5-7 But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love.

August 10: Even though you encounter unexpected situations, you must take things in stride and not allow that which is temporary to interrupt the flow of the eternal Spirit, says the Lord. The stress of this time will pass and you will be stronger and wiser than you were before. Every day is an opportunity to see Me at work in your life. You are truly being transformed, but transformation is sometimes painful. Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

bluidkiti · 08-11-2019, 02:40 AM

August 11: Do not pull back or give up on what you started; you are not finished. Keep moving forward. You have already accomplished more than you thought you could, but you must continue to be strong and resolute in bringing to completion what you have been given to do, says the Lord. Rely on Me to give you the wisdom and strength necessary. I am with you. Isaiah 58:11 The LORD will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and strengthen your bones; you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.

bluidkiti · 08-12-2019, 04:03 AM

August 12: Prepare to go through the gates that I am opening before you, says the Lord. You have not been this way before, so you must be sensitive to My leading. Listen carefully as I speak to your heart and give you the wisdom necessary for you to move into the next phase of your life and being. I will direct your steps. Isaiah 62:10 Go through, Go through the gates! Prepare the way for the people; Build up, Build up the highway! Take out the stones, Lift up a banner for the peoples!

bluidkiti · 08-13-2019, 02:11 AM

August 13: In a vision I could see columns of fire surrounding me that would keep the enemy at bay. And I heard the Lord say, "This is the fire of the Spirit, My power, that will defeat the devil. Above all you need the fire of My Spirit to do all that I call you to do in the days ahead. I will empower you to do all that I have set before you to accomplish. Have no regrets. No fear. No dread. No weakness. Rise up and let the fire of the Spirit consume your carnal nature." Hebrews 12:29 For our God is a consuming fire.

bluidkiti · 08-14-2019, 06:04 AM

August 14: This is a time when you can make great leaps forward. Your spiritual growth will increase exponentially. Set your will to cooperate with this move of My Spirit in your life. Set your expectations on Me, says the Lord, and not on world systems and conditions. This opportunity will depend on where you focus your thoughts, intentions and desires. Luke 12:34 "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

bluidkiti · 08-15-2019, 04:24 AM

August 15: Righteousness is a choice. Personal conviction will establish a base for understanding that which needs to be done to overcome wrong attitudes and motives. You have made a lot of progress in spiritual growth, but there is more work to do. As you live and walk in the Spirit, a deeper level of internal work will enable you to prevail over evil, says the Lord. Come near to Me with an open heart and mind and I will give revelation. Romans 16:19 For your obedience has become known to all. Therefore I am glad on your behalf; but I want you to be wise in what is good, and simple concerning evil.
