#247 – Prepare Yourself

Brian KeithLeave a comment

You will soon be more wise, than some who have advised you. It will be vital that you refuse to be offended, if your promotion is not celebrated. Some will seek to limit you, to who you once were.

This next season is yours. You will walk into a series of predestined moments. If you make a mistake, do not wallow in it or allow the regrets to fester. Forgive yourself and determine to do better.

There are precious souls lacking, because you were not in position. All the benchmarks your father failed to achieve and all the blessings your mother refused to accept, are laid up dormant and awaiting your faith, to be activated.

Prepare yourself to be overwhelmed with HIS goodness. To be used in a mighty way, not for your glory, but for HIS Glory. You are a living showpiece signifying what a changed heart looks like.

Jeremiah 1:5
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.

#240 – The Lord of Resurrection

Brian KeithLeave a comment

What is important to you is also important to ME. As the Father, MY ways are higher than your ways and MY thoughts higher than your thoughts. This means, that how I behave is based on MY sovereignty and cannot be dictated by man.

The sister of Lazarus had an expectation based on her presumptive nature, but his sickness was not onto death. His condition was placed on a pedestal, so that the outcomes would give ME Glory and glorify MY Son.

You are MY masterpiece and through you all must be displayed, the good days, along with the bad. You are MY demonstration of the times of triumph and the times of many tears. Despite what you see, your situation not onto death.

If I resurrected Lazarus, I can resurrect anything: your marriage, your health, your business and your finances. Here is the hard part, in order for there to be a resurrection, something or someone must die. Weep if needed, but this moment will not last, for I AM the Lord of resurrection.

John 11:4
“This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”

#227 – MY Thoughts are Higher

Brian KeithLeave a comment

There as many opinions, points of views and perspectives that the world will offer and even demand that you accept. It is time to question some things, How does that opinion align with eternity?

The kingdoms of this world are moved by the notions of men that have not been washed with the blood, are enslaved by sin and serve the prince of the air. The prevailing ideas of the day are determined by the best argument.

A Spirit of self deception has been empowered to choose what is and is not truth. MY will and MY word are not debatable. I AM Sovereign and Eternal, MY thoughts are higher than your thoughts.

This is a clarion call, choose today, MY plan or man’s plan, MY word or man’s word, MY opinion of you or man’s opinion of you and specifically, MY will for your life or man’s will for your life.

2 Corinthians ‭10:5
We are destroying sophisticated arguments and every exalted and proud thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought and purpose captive to the obedience of Christ.
‭‭

#201 – The Crooked Places

Brian Keith2 Comments

Your victory is not connected to the outcome, but to obedience in doing the work. Be faithful in your work and consistent in demonstrating love, peace and kindness.

Let ME worry about the outcomes, for they are MINE. Your focus must remain on pleasing ME and not man. MY scorecard is the only one that matters, continue to press toward the mark.

MY calling is high and man’s callings are low. Look to ME and take your eyes off men. Continue to pray, to fast and to spend time in MY presence. For it is, I that will make the crooked places straight.

Every relationship, every situation, every mistake, every missed opportunity, every failed mission or anything you care to be restored, will be made whole. Whole by keeping your gaze steadfast on ME.

Isaiah 42:2-3
I will go before you And make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze And cut the bars of iron. I will give you the treasures of darkness And hidden riches of secret places, That you may know that I, the Lord, Who call you by your name, Am the God of Israel.

#198 – No Longer Slaves

Brian KeithLeave a comment

A wise man learns something from all that impacts him and a fool is easily offended. To gain a self sustained confidence, will mean a shifting from faith in men, to faith in ME.

Opinions, opinions, and more opinions. Have you noticed that men will give advice from a place in their hearts, from which, they are not competent? The words they speak are for their own ears.

Opinions blow in the wind, they are fleeting and have no substance, some from the east and others push in from the west. The opinions of your environment have become the yokes of bondage.

You are no longer slaves, you instead are joint heirs, making you 100% MY Sons. You can move, walk and make decisions in supreme confidence, that the Mercy Seat is on your side and I AM standing with you.

Lev. 26:13
I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt so you would no longer be their slaves. I broke the yoke of slavery from your neck so you can walk with your heads held high.‬ ‭‬

Your season HAS NOT passed. Every dream, every hope, every promise and every desire will come to fruition. Dreams are divine downloads that operate away from your mind’s control, so that your thought processes cannot diminish.

You were fearfully and wonderfully made by design. Why is that not enough? As your LORD, it is enough for ME and that decision is final. Why do the opinions of others matter, so much? Investigate this, dig up the root. When you remove the roots of bondage from your past, rest will come. The […]

You were made with a purpose in mind. This means your purpose is not an option. Every molecule in your body is designed for purpose, designed to honor its creator. I have encoded and wired MY Identity into your very DNA. You are ME and I AM you, we inextricably bound. Submit and choose to […]

I am more than enough. The competition for your heart is great. Fortune, fame, family, fitness, fantasy and favor are all there, but where is your faith? Where have you made room for me? I AM desperate for you and yearn for you. MY sacrifice is clear and what I have done to redeem and […]

The serpent’s voice was heard over mine. This is the original mistake made in the garden. To believe another voice over the TRUTH. To accept the urging of any spirit or any man over MY word is the original lie. Your belief systems are the battle grounds and anything held outside of ME is held […]

Have you considered the outcome, if you gave your all? For once, consider trusting ME 100% in an endeavor. All your faith, energy and power focused on just ME.

#37 – I Have Already Chosen You

Brian Keith2 Comments

I am a uniting force, a reconciler. I was here before religion and before the law. Your understanding of who I AM is too small. The limitations of the minds of men are not MY concerns. What man cannot do, I have already done. I move with absolute power and preciseness.

You are trying to understand the infinite with a finite mindset. I am limitless and MY love is overwhelming, but I will not violate your will. I will force you to accepted ME, but should you deny ME, understand you are denying a perfect plan.

Though you may not choose ME, I have already chosen you. I paid the full cost, not discounted and the proof of purchase is in MY scarred hands and feet. A life for a LIFE, MY life for yours You are worth the rejection, the humiliations and the cross.

The full amount was paid, because I desire to have you, fully. I desire to walk with you in the cool of the day, you and I, face to face. This is MY plan, this is MY hope and this is MY full desire, to restore MY relationship with you.

2 Corinthians 5:16-21
From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

#36 – Self Sabotage

Brian KeithLeave a comment

You have tried and failed to do this on your own. Have you heard? I am an ever-present help, in the times of trouble and struggle. All that I touch prospers. MY ways are not like your ways and all that I touch succeeds.

My light does more than illuminate, it also purifies and heals. To deny ME is to deny yourself and attempting to succeed beyond ME is to fail. Your stiff neck is a pointless extension of free will. You are free to choose, choose well.

There are no rewards for self sabotage, obedience is always better than sacrifice. Man’s claim of being self made is a lie and not worth proving wrong. I AM self made and the only Sovereign Being, the one True God.

Obey ME, accept MY plans and then you will remove the delay. MY Kingdom is based on MY will, I AM the final authority. I dictate what is honest, what is fair and what is just. In the end, what I have orchestrated will prevail.

Act 26:12-14
“One day I was on such a mission to Damascus, armed with the authority and commission of the leading priests. About noon, Your Majesty, as I was on the road, a light from heaven brighter than the sun shone down on me and my companions. We all fell down, and I heard a voice saying to me in Aramaic,d ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? It is useless for you to fight against my will.e’

#35 – You are MY Prize

Brian KeithLeave a comment

I AM a constant eternal force. I control space, time and life. Physics, mathematics and all the sciences are the study of MY anatomy and what I have formed. All that I establish is self sustaining. All that I create prospers.

I AM steadfast, never failing and cannot lie. I AM the uncreated one, all that is seen and unseen was made by ME. I AM the only thing in this world or in the next, that is certain. I AM the undisputed king of this world and any world to come.

I make demons tremble and evil spirits flee. I AM glory, I AM splendor, I AM the personification of love and I AM crazy about you. I AM for you, I AM in love with you, I have a crown waiting for you.

You are the apple of MY eye, I left Heaven to come to earth to save you. You are MY prize and MY greatest treasure. You are MY lover and I AM your KING, everything about you is pleasing to ME, I adore you and you are MY every thought.

Deuteronomy 7:6-8
“For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for his treasured possession, out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth. It was not because you were more in number than any other people that the Lord set his love on you and chose you, for you were the fewest of all peoples, but it is because the Lord loves you and is keeping the oath that he swore to your fathers, that the Lord has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

#34 – Chase MY Heart

Brian KeithLeave a comment

Seek MY face and not MY hand. Seek ME and not what you can obtain from ME. I do not need money to bless you. I do not need possessions or positions to bless you. I do not need man to bless you.

The blessings of life are beyond man‘s insights. Religion is making a fool of you. Don’t do this and don’t do that, I am the GOD of YES and AMEN. I AM the God that said, Let there be and all that I made remains, until I say different.

Through ME the river of goodness flows, there is no peace, no hope and no joy, without a touch from ME. Listen to others if you will and it will guaranteedly cause a deficit in your world. It will cause you to chase MY hand.

There is no need to chase MY hand, chase MY heart and I will give you MY hand. I am more than a Savior, I am a Father, a Friend and a Confidant. Choose today, to chase the better thing, relationship with ME.

2 Corinthians 1:19-22
For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, whom we proclaimed among you, Silvanus and Timothy and I, was not Yes and No, but in him it is always Yes. For all the promises of God find their Yes in him. That is why it is through him that we utter our Amen to God for his glory. And it is God who establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, and who has also put his seal on us and given us his Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.

#33 – This is War

Brian KeithLeave a comment

Make no mistake this is war and you have been slighted to win. As with any war, there will be a winner, a loser and casualties. In your case, not a physical death, but a spiritual one. This is what must die:

Pride and ego must die. Anxiety and shame must die. Confusion and carelessness must die. Depression and defeat must die. Animosity and jealousy must die. Selfishness and the coveting spirit must die.

Your opinion and the need for revenge must die. Gossiping and the desire to see your offenders fail, must die. Holding grudges and using your gift as a weapon, must die. Half truths and the spirit of religion, must die.

You are on the right side, a soldier under orders from the Most High. Arm yourself with peace, kindness and long suffering. Then attack the enemy with forgiveness, acceptance and love. Your input is faith and MY input will be favor.

Ephesians 4:22-24
You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.

#32 – I Hold The Cosmos

Brian Keith1 Comment

There are no accidents or coincidences. I balance the heavens and the earth with MY Word. I hold the cosmos in place and I hung each star. With more than the same power, I AM holding you. Your purpose will be fulfilled.

The chaos you see is produced by man functioning apart from ME. There is no need to fear or to be controlled by the things, that fear and are controlled by ME. Even chaos is subject and does MY bidding.

Your current circumstances are temporary and I AM in complete control. Let the worry go, give the stress to ME and find ME in your storm. I AM always in the boat with you. I hold the keys to sin, death and the grave.

When you feel powerless and the most out of control, this is when MY exceedingly abundant power is most potent. What you can do is useful in the confines of time, but what I can do affects ALL eternity.

Hebrews 1:2-4
In these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much superior to angels, as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.

#31 – Renew Your Mind

Brian KeithLeave a comment

I am GLORY, I am MAJESTY and yet your mouth is filled with complaint. Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. From the confines of your conscience, words are revealing what you truly value.

Is your situation a god, is your circumstance a king, have you replaced your worship for worry? Your words will manifest. Your thoughts are spiritual forces and have creative power, entrusted to you by ME.

Use your creative authority to be fruitful and multiply, use the power of your words to build. Take every unholy and fearful thought captive, renew your mind to focus on things above and not below. Remember what I have done.

Avoid the voice of the paralytic, those immobilized by trauma. The counsel of the enemy, even based on what is true is designed to steal, kill and destroy. Be mindful of what you hear and mindful of what you say.

Romans 12:1-2
And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

#30 – Slaves, Servants & Sons

Brian KeithLeave a comment

You have been sold a short cut, a way to getting freedom in the flesh, that bypasses the soul and spirit. This will never be so, the laws of sowing and reaping cannot be violated. Many have discovered the immutable laws of the natural realm, but do not know the LAW GIVER.

When you know ME. You are privileged to participate, in more than the benefits of knowing the law, but in the inheritance, the laws protect. This is about inheritance, about the distinction, between moving under a blessing and outside of a blessing.

Slaves, servants and sons all see and know the blessing, but they experience it in different ways. The slave sees & knows, but can only touch the blessing. The servant sees and knows, but can only present the blessing. The sons are different, they see and know, but are able to partake of the blessing.

They can eat the blessing, they can drink the blessing, they can wear the blessing, they can live in the blessing, they can preserve the blessing for their children’s children and they can bestow blessings on the world and impact the culture. I have called you out of darkness and into the light, not for the purpose of slavery or servanthood, but for SONSHIP.

Galatians 4:3-7
So also, when we were children, we were enslaved under the basic principles of the world. But when the time had fully come, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive our adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father! So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, you are also an heir through God.

#29 – Freedom is first in the Spirit

Brian KeithLeave a comment

I operate on a plane and in a dimension, that your human mind cannot comprehend and does not have the capacity to contain. Sin has blinded you, your sin and the sin of a generation.

You think the limitations caused by sin are limits on ME. I have corralled sin, through Christ and it has no power, your reality is an illusion. I AM not an illusionist, I AM real. I AM reality and anything aside from ME is counterfeit.

You have known the counterfeit for so long, that the real thing is hard to accept. You have wandered from truth, I AM truth. Truth is key to being released from a counterfeit imprisonment.

Freedom is first in the spirit, then embraced by the soul and then benefited from in the flesh (physical). Freedom flows in one direction from the top, the head, then the beard and then the body.

2 Corinthians 3:16-18
When one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.

#28 – Only MY Glory Matters

Brian KeithLeave a comment

Aside from ME is bondage. Why? Because I am freedom. Aside from ME is death. Why? Because I AM life. Aside from ME is depression. Why? Because I AM hope.

You do not have a bondage, death or depression problem, you have a lack of ME. None of these can stand before ME. Why, because fear is subject to ME and must do my bidding.

You have not seen, you have not heard and it has yet to enter the heart of your understanding, how great I AM. What you see as problems, are merely opportunities, to demonstrate MY Glory.

Be clear in knowing, that only MY Glory matters. You can say sickness, I say Glory. You can say sadness, I say Glory and you can say pain, I say Glory.

2 Corinthian 4:13-16
But we continue to preach because we have the same kind of faith the psalmist had when he said, “I believed in God, so I spoke.” We know that God, who raised the Lord Jesus,d will also raise us with Jesus and present us to himself together with you. All of this is for your benefit. And as God’s grace reaches more and more people, there will be great thanksgiving, and God will receive more and more glory. That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits aree being renewed every day. For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! 18So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.

#26 – Perfected by the Love

Brian Keith1 Comment

What they have said of you is true. Their words are reality, but are not an eternity. The beginning of your story was dark, but I now have the pen and a new epistle is being written. A new ending has been established.

Trust ME to finish what I began. Everything is new, new heart, new mind and a new soul. You have been given a new attitude, a new breath, a new spirit, a new wind and a new life. Let MY renewing, refill you and reengage you, again.

Their condemnations are of a soul, that no longer exists. You are being transformed and restored in ME. The old is passed away. Stop fighting the old and become the new, that I have for you, that is destined for you.

The old you, does not need to be defended, that person is dead. Live life in the new you, the one formed by ME and formed for ME, without blemish or wrinkle. An imperfect person, perfected by the Love of Christ.

Hebrews 10:11-14
Under the old covenant, the priest stands and ministers before the altar day after day, offering the same sacrifices again and again, which can never take away sins. But our High Priest offered himself to God as a single sacrifice for sins, good for all time. Then he sat down in the place of honor at God’s right hand. There he waits until his enemies are humbled and made a footstool under his feet. For by that one offering he forever made perfect those who are being made holy.

#25 – A Race against Yourself

Brian Keith1 Comment

Consider how far you have come and then determine the progress. Your race is not against others, it is a race against yourself. The race assigned to you is specific and like no other. The training, the preparation and the outcomes are all different.

Now is not the time to compromise or to compare with another. I love them and have given them a race, I love you and have given you a separate race. Your race fulfills your purposes and their race fulfills an entirely different purpose.

Trust what I have said to them and trust even more, what I am saying to you, now. Begin to look inward for your direction and internally for your benchmarks. I have filled you with both instinct and a moral compass, trust them.

You will continue to waiver watching the sails of others. The society and the culture have caused you to ignore the most obvious thing and to resist the most natural affinity, MY Voice. The race is to clearly hear: MY voice.

Galatians 6:4-5
Pay careful attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and you won’t need to compare yourself to anyone else. For we are each responsible for our own conduct.

#23 – The Only Sovereign God

Brian KeithLeave a comment

I AM not a man and MY word has no limitations. At MY word a nation is built or a nation will fall, soley by MY command. I am not your conscience or the conscience of your society. I AM the maker and the creator of all things.

Even the ability to question ME is an allowance from ME. I own the mercy seat, the moon and the stars. I own the best of you and I own the worst of you, simultaneously, both the great things and minuscule things are relevant to ME.

To live is to commune with ME, to breathe air is to enter fellowship. The light and the darkness submits to ME. The sun shines, because I say so. I am the LORD of all. The most beautiful day and the most hurtful days are yet, both mine.

This means, you are who you are because of ME. As the only Sovereign God, Heaven is mine, the earth is mine and YOU are mine! Like Job what you are facing is by design and nothing can harm you beyond MY purview.

Psalms 24:1-10
The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it. The world and all its people belong to him. For he laid the earth’s foundation on the seas
and built it on the ocean depths. Who may climb the mountain of the LORD? Who may stand in his holy place? Only those whose hands and hearts are pure, who do not worship idols and never tell lies. They will receive the LORD’s blessing and have a right relationship with God their savior. Such people may seek you and worship in your presence, O God of Jacob. Open up, ancient gates! Open up, ancient doors, and let the King of glory enter. Who is the King of glory? The LORD, strong and mighty; the LORD, invincible in battle. Open up, ancient gates! Open up, ancient doors, and let the King of glory enter. Who is the King of glory? The LORD of Heaven’s Armies he is the King of glory.
