#301 – Deeper Overwhelming Intimacy

Brian KeithLeave a comment

What are you rehearsing? There are thoughts in your mind that are keeping you stuck: stuck in the past, stuck in pain and stuck in a defeating process. The fear has taken up residence in an intimate place, a place made for faith and not fear.

What are you hiding? There are a set of hidden sins, that you have tried to keep from ME. I see it, but I will heal and redeem only with your permission. It resides deep in your heart, a place I wish to occupy.

The things you are rehearsing and hiding is hindering. It is causing a delay from the inside, doubt attached to an embryo. It is the substance of things that makes you question your value and worth, it is a lie.

The answer is in MY Love. More than hearing or seeing the evidence of MY love, but in giving yourself the permission to possess MY Love. There is great compassion, a deeper overwhelming intimacy with ME, that can be had.

Ephesians 3:16-19
I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God

#300 – (Part 2) The Whirlwind

Brian KeithLeave a comment

In the vision, the whirlwind was all around me, it was all that my eyes could see. Though the scene was chaotic, my spirit, surprisingly was not anxious.

Inside the spinning current were many things some good, some bad and some embarrassing. There were people I loved and also things that I earnestly desired, mature desires, beyond materialistic things.

For example: a desire for a better relationship, deeper covenant and ears to hear for my wife. Also, an increased relevance in my children’s lives, with the ability to shape them for purpose and not for my preferences.

Then, there were some hard things in the whirlwind, relationships and situations that seemed, irreparably beyond hope.

I saw opportunity for ministry and ways to operate in the the gifts entrusted to me. Candidly speaking, the magnitude of what God has shown me, about the callings on my life are overwhelming.

The whirlwind acknowledges the chaos and uses it to uproot and reposition things. The chaos is not from God, but the whirlwind is. The whirlwind will confuse the enemy and bring order, in key areas, simultaneously.

What will appear, as disorder to those outside of the whirlwind is in fact, God’s divine order. Your whirlwind experiences will be just for you and may not be understood, until later, when the manifestation is clear.

As the whirlwind was moving, shifting and reorchestrating the elements around me, each thing was placed and arranged in proximity to me. As I stood still, God placed the relationships and favorable circumstances at my feet.

The things that had caused me to pray, cry and curse before, were now accessible and directly within reach. It was God using the whirlwind to secure my path and right my relationships. All I did was trust and stand still.

This is what, I have learned:

*The whirlwind gives a sense of God’s timing and direction. There are 21 words for winds and each is unique to a season, region, force, temperature, direction, duration, geography, change in climate and affect on the landscape. This means that a wind is specific to a period, place and a position in both the natural and spiritual realms. The type of wind you are experiencing, indicates where you are spiritually.

*The whirlwind is for your enemies and naysayers. It was a wind the parted the Red seas for God’s people to cross on dry land. Is was God that harden Pharaoh’s heart, He wanted to make a spectacle of Pharaoh, his army, his chariots and his horsemen, that the enemies and oppressors of Israel would see the Glory of God and know He was Lord.

*God speaks from the whirlwind, He rebukes and will remind us of His power and might. The whirlwind is a demonstration of Gods’s sovereignty, he blesses who he chooses. Your righteousness is meaningless in the face of the King of Righteousness. All that you are and have are because of the Lord. Everything under heaven is the Lord’s and his plans have never failed.

Exodus 14:13-14
And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.

#299 – You are worth dying For

Brian KeithLeave a comment

You are the prized treasure of Christ. His love is for you, forged by His immutable sacrifice made on the cross. His love was not only spoken, but radically demonstrated. He proved his love and reestablished his covenants with His own blood.

There is no higher price paid, than to give ones own life. Christ did more than die, He suffered the humiliation, the shame and the disrespect of the very people, He was dying for. Satan used that moment to make a spectacle of Christ.

Every painful lash was for you. The mockery was for you. The plucking out of his beard was for you. Each time he was spit on was for you. Him being stripped of clothing, near naked and paraded through the city was for you.

You are worth dying for. You are worth the embarrassment of men. You are worth the shame of an entire people. You are worth the disrespect and condemnation of the world. You are worth the most horrible death known to man. You are worth dying for.

John 3:16-17
“For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him

#298 – Forgiveness and Love

Brian KeithLeave a comment

Forgiveness and love work hand in hand, each are a compliment and a requirement for the other. Love without forgiveness can make a heart bitter. Forgiveness without love, leads to detachment and the loss of relationship.

One side of forgiveness is about letting people, plus the pain go and the other side is about restoring. Like a broken bone, healing occurs through a process of restoration, bit by bit, until the bone matches its original strength.

Love too, has dimensions and phases. A small child will express unconditional love for a parent, for a season. As the child becomes more mature, loving the parent is expressed through the filters of pain and experience.

The love remains, but requires both repentance and forgiveness, for it to be sustained. You often hurt the ones you love most, the most. This is were you must find unique and creative ways to forgive.

1 Peter 4:8
And most of all be warm in your love for one another; because in love there is forgiveness for sins without number.

#297 – (Part 1) The Whirlwind

Brian KeithLeave a comment

In a vision, I saw a whirlwind all around me. It was tall and wide, but slowed down, so that I could see inside. It was full of people, situations and human connections. I could recognize the faces and each was an aspect of my current season, but also the next.

As I stood still, relationships began to fall in place, difficult situations were resolved and the ability to flow in the anointing became easy.

I later learned that a whirlwind forms when two currents, in opposing direction, meet. It can be over sea or land. The whirlwind represents the power and might of Yahweh, coming together from different directions. The whirlwind has the ability to move things around and to shift the order of things. Here is what is I concluded.

*The whirlwind is a season. Bad decisions are made, when the temporary is viewed as permanent. It will be impossible to man’s standard, but it is more than possible with God. Hold onto his last commands and stand still in the midst of the whirlwind.

*God is working through the whirlwind and the alignment, reconciliation and restoration of some situations cannot be done in the natural realm. Heart changes come from spiritual interventions. Hold on to your integrity, speak the truth in agape love and allow God room to work.

*The whirlwind is for you. What appears to be chaos is bringing divine order. Why, because chaos and its father, are defeated and are subject to God’s will. God is using the whirlwind to bring clarity to confusion, vision to blurriness and purpose to ambiguity.

Nahum 1:3
The LORD is slow to get angry, but his power is great, and he never lets the guilty go unpunished. He displays his power in the whirlwind and the storm. The billowing clouds are the dust beneath his feet.

#296 – A Prayer for the Genuine Me

Brian KeithLeave a comment

I am angry and hurt, God. I do not understand it. I have honored you and my fellow man, yet the outcomes are chaotic. You say to turn the other cheek and you say walk another mile. When will enough be enough?

I will continue to trust, but I need some grace, give me a sign to press on. This is hard to accept, I need your mercy. I want to be forgiven, but find it hard to forgive. I need your comfort.

The image of who I am and the reality are not the same. Am I becoming, who I aspire to be or just a fraud? Cover me with wisdom to protect from the enemy, within me.

Purge the darkness in my heart, that is connected to traumas and pains. Please reconcile the genuine authentic me, with the me, that is afraid to let go and trust you.

2 Corinthians 1:3-4
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.

#295 – Good, Good and Good

Brian KeithLeave a comment

A Good name is better than money. It is a reputation of trust and an honest man can be found on any level. It is best to be poor and honest, then to be rich and full of lies. When you operate with integrity, doing business above board, you are transacting in the heavens and making ME proud.

Good news is the salve to a weary heart. It is like washing the dirt of the day from one’s feet. It can change the atmosphere by lifting hearts, minds and spirits. Good news brings life, but gossiping lips, take life away.

Good work is a mark of a master craftsmen. The mastering of one’s craft is perfection and can be a means to sharing ME, the perfect one. Let your work distinguish you in the marketplace and let your work ethic be a witness of your God.

Good friends are real treasures, they come to lighten the load of living. You are enhanced by those invited into your world. Life is to be lived in community, through covenants relationships and working together.

Matthew 12:35
The good man brings good things out of his good store of treasure, and the evil man brings evil things out of his evil store of treasure.

#294 – Your Oath and Obedience

Brian KeithLeave a comment

Call upon all MY name and invite ME into your personal affairs, nothing is to mundane for ME. I AM excited about every aspect of you. Allow ME into the unkept crevices of your heart. Here I AM to guard you, from the adversary and to guide your path.

Rebellion has not been a profitable endeavor for you. Following your own will has led to many defeats. Are you tired of sowing into false gods and not receiving a harvest? The profitable, the prudent and the logical choice is the Sovereign Lord.

I AM the God of all truth and MY desire is that you will live everlasting. Living in homes built by your own hands and sustained by your own fields. Living long lives planted and rooted in ME, springing forth like trees.

As you are endowed with long life, your children will be favored. Your good choice, to follow ME is blessed and a blessing will also follow them. Whatever they think to ask, I will provide. I will walk ahead of them, with MY approval, because of your oath and obedience.

Isaiah 65:1
The LORD says, “I was ready to respond, but no one asked for help. I was ready to be found, but no one was looking for me. I said, ‘Here I am, here I am!’ to a nation that did not call on my name.

#292 – Your True Character

Brian KeithLeave a comment

All that you were denied in the forms of compassion, empathy, direction, wisdom and leadership are who you have become. The denial was part of the process and never a deviation.

Your value is not in what you do, but who you strategically are in the lives of those you are called to serve, enlightened and lead. The power is in your presence and not what you produce or present.

Your gift to the world is the embodiment of grace, courage and fortitude. The Freedom, the power and authority is in who you are and less what you do. The anointing does fall on you, but it is activated from within you.

You are designed to shift atmospheres with your presence, encouragement and reassurance. You have become, who I designed you to be. Walk in the authority of your name and your true character.

Genesis 32:28
“Your name will no longer be Jacob,” the man told him. “From now on you will be called Israel, because you have fought with God and with men and have won.”

#290 – Use These Memories

Brian KeithLeave a comment

The hell you have a lived through has a purpose. It can be a beacon of light and hope. A promise rising from the ashes of pain. There are multiple answers, solutions and keys to life, hidden in your story.

Strive to be authentic and fulfilled, versus popular and happy. The accolades of men and ill-gotten pleasures will eventually fade, but who I made you to be and the contentment that flows from ME, will last forever.

It is fine, if you are reminded of what you have overcome, at times. Use these memories, as fuel, to wreak havoc on the enemies of life: defeat, darkness and depression. You can either be tormented by the past, or use your past to torment the enemy.

To a defeated mindset, remind them they can win, as you have won. To a darkened soul, illuminate their countenance by bringing to mind, my everlasting grace and mercy. To a depressed spirit, intercede on their behalf for clarity of purpose.

1 Samuel 2:8
He lifts the weak from the dust; he raises the poor from the ash heap to seat them with princes and to bestow on them an honored position. The foundations of the earth belong to the LORD, and he has placed the world on them.

#289 – A Worthy Target

Brian Keith1 Comment

Hold your tongue, until the spirit of forgiveness comes. Offenses are strategic forces that arise to detour, delay & destroy you at a specific place and time. The timing of the offense is an indication of your spiritual assignment.

When you override an offense, it is turning a roadblock into a roadway. Moving from no understanding to a common standing. You cannot change nor confront every offender, but you can lessen the offender’s sting, by letting it go.

By removing the offenders arrows from your heart. Soon you will see the offenses as jewels. You have become such a threat to the kingdom of darkness, that you are a worthy target.

This is a high honor, it indicates walking in purpose and an alignment with ME. Welcome to becoming the hunter and no longer the enemy’s prey. This is the cost for kingdom power, your comfort.

Proverbs 17:9
Whoever covers an offense seeks love, but he who repeats a matter separates close friends.

#288 – Fully Equipped

Brian Keith1 Comment

MY Mercy is forever, you cannot extinguish it. I will continue to pour it out for you. All, that you are struggling with is covered. Your present, past and future mistakes are covered, too.

Your flaws do not move, nor deter ME. MY LOVE is based on who you are, the very workmanship of MY hands, what you do and how you perform is not the source of MY LOVE.

I called you to go into environments devoid of MY LOVE, grace and mercy, to change the atmosphere. The spirit of heaviness and depression is rebuked, by your presence. The light you have is for more than you, it is for many.

Get over yourself immediately! Stop worrying over what you do not have. You are ready and fully equipped. The two fish and five loaves are in hand, I simply need you to obey and I will provide the increase.

Matthew 14:16-21
But Jesus said, “That isn’t necessary—you feed them.”“But we have only five loaves of bread and two fish!” they answered. “Bring them here,” he said. Then he told the people to sit down on the grass. Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, looked up toward heaven, and blessed them. Then, breaking the loaves into pieces, he gave the bread to the disciples, who distributed it to the people. They all ate as much as they wanted, and afterward, the disciples picked up twelve baskets of leftovers. About 5,000 men were fed that day, in addition to all the women and children!

#286 – Work your Work

Brian Keith3 Comments

Your work in this life and your job are two very different things. Your work is the Eternal purpose decided, before you entered your mother’s womb. A job is an assignment designed to fund the work.

Working a job is fine, be sure to work your work, while working your job. The work always edifies and builds people, while building the kingdom. The work has its own intrinsic rewards.

The work is guaranteed to produce, either hope, peace or fulfillment through a sense of accomplishment. Those that master the work are content in all seasons and circumstances. The work is life.

When a role is no longer fulfilling, it means the season for that environment has passed. The work remains, the assignment changes. The lack of passion and reward is not about the work. The feeling of discontentment is about failing to move, as I have led you. It means that I have a new assignment for you.

Psalm 90:16-17
Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children. And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.

#285 – Release the Shame

Brian KeithLeave a comment

I have forgiven you and that forgiveness cannot be undone. When will you forgive yourself? Have you allowed shame to enter into your heart? Shame takes away your identity and causes you to work, to earn what has already been paid for.

The power to walk in MY inheritance for you, is in the resting, not the working. Rest in the finished work of Christ. I have already redeemed the world from sin, it is finished. Rest in MY green pastures and drink from the still waters.

The debt owed was paid, with hefty interest. You are no longer obligated to pay. I have redeemed, restored and reinstated you with full benefits. You do not owe anyone anything, but to love them.

Release the shame, your sins are forgiven, go and sin no more. Embrace what the shed blood bought. It was more than a ransom paid, it is the dowry paid for a bride. Jesus is the bridegroom and HE was shamed, so that you will experience shame no more.

Isaiah 61:7
Instead of shame and dishonor, you will enjoy a double share of honor. You will possess a double portion of prosperity in your land, and everlasting joy will be yours.

#284 – Embrace Repentance

Brian KeithLeave a comment

Be fearless, because your calling is from on high. The power and the gifts flowing through you is borrowed. The authorities you possess are connected to the responsibility defined in your Mother’s womb.

It is at your lowest point and the most sinful times that MY immense Grace shines brightest. It the darkness, that is most dramatically transformed by MY Marvelous Light.

You can move faster in the knowledge of MY grace, than in the luxury of MY gifting. Heaven moves when MY elect suffer and demons tremble when men of God embrace repentance.

Forget what you are seeing and refuse to accept what is being heard. The sultry voice of the enemy is the same, he speaks to cause compromise and to believe an alternative reality.

Proverbs 28:13
Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy.

#282 – Being Offended

Brian KeithLeave a comment

In a dream, I was slowly driving in a downtown area with various intersecting streets. It was during what seemed to be rush hour. Some of the streets were one-way and others were two-way.

One could easily get confused, especially if you were not familiar with the area. As I was making a right turn, from a one-way street onto a two-way street. A car leaving a parking lot, began heading in the wrong direction and toward me.

Once the driver realized he was heading in the wrong direction, he made the adjustment by making a U-Turn, in my lane. This was not the considerate or safe thing to do, he could have reversed back into the parking lot.

I was annoyed by this and fixated my attitude and attention on the illicit driver. My obsession on the driver and not on driving, led to an accident, me hitting another car.

I was so worried about my offender, that I let it distract me. My need to be right and express displeasure with Mr. U-turn, led to embarrassment, further frustration and an unnecessary expense. A temporary inconvenience, became a substantial inconvenience, because I refused to let an offense go.

I learned that being offended or allowing myself to become offended is a distraction, that takes my focus off what matters. When you have an assignment, distractions will come and we must release the right to be offended for the sake of righteousness.

Proverbs 19:11
Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense.

#281 – Know Your Limitations

Brian KeithLeave a comment

Peace is a choice, you can reside in it despite your circumstances. Peace is a benefit of being MY child. Resist chaos, avoid confusion and when all else fails, call on the Prince of Peace.

I make you to lie down by calm waters to be refreshed, take time daily to refresh and reflect, to surrender the cares of this world to ME. There are things within your control, that I have equipped you for and there are other things, outside that control.

Any effort placed on things beyond your control is where the anxiety begins. This is where you are operating in flesh and not spirit. You must know your limitations for the season of life you are currently in.

What was once permissive for you to do or say is now inappropriate. The way you once thought, will be a hinderance based on your current assignment. Your new freedom is the product of a new restraint.

Isaiah 9:6-7
For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. His government and its peace will never end. He will rule with fairness and justice from the throne of his ancestor David for all eternity. The passionate commitment of the LORD of Heaven’s Armies will make this happen!

#280 – Be MY Hands and Feet

Brian KeithLeave a comment

You can hear MY word and choose to disobey. You can know MY voice, but listen to another. Whatever you will to do can be either carnal or sacred. The gifts and callings are given to be a reflection of the giver.

Use your gifts to help and not hinder. Be a light to darkened souls. Use the life comprised in your tongue to create more life. Speak joy and compassion into the atmosphere. Use your voice to confirm and let the world condemn.

People are drawn closer to ME or further away from ME based on what you say and do. The gospel without compassion is bondage. Truth spoken without empathy are merely words.

Be MY hands and feet to help the hurting. Show MY heart by demonstrating what a changed life of loving looks like. Use your gifts to help, to heal, to edify, to clarify, to beautify, to understand, to intercede and to restore.

1 Corinthian 12:26-27
If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together. Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it.

#278 – Embrace Forgiveness

Brian KeithLeave a comment

Forgiveness is your due benevolence as a believer. When you can look past an offense, this can be the best and most authentic witness for ME. To love in the place of fear, to pray for those who despitefully use you.

Forgiving is not forgetting, it is refusing to allow the pain to become perpetual. It is releasing your right to retaliate. It is an active mandate of your will to empathize on another’s behalf.

Forgiveness is the key component of repentance. The forgiveness that you receive is in direct proportion to the forgiveness that you give. The clemency that you bestowed on others is accounted for, then drawn on, when it is you standing in the way of judgment.

Embrace forgiveness, because it is the essence of Christ and the purpose for the cross. The Lamb of God was the ultimate sacrifice and atonement for sin, the concluding Passover for mankind. Forgiveness is essential to salvation.

John 1:29
“Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

#277 – Request Help

Brian KeithLeave a comment

Consider your words and all the power they possess. Life and death are there. Hurt and healing are there. Pain and Praise are also there. Will you speak out of how you feel or will your values override your emotions?

Serve ME now, obey ME now, walk with ME now. The kingdom of heaven is at hand. The inaction stems from your priorities, your pride and what can be done in your own strength, versus what I can do in you.

In your weakness I AM strong, but pride has silenced your ability to request help. Looking strong is not the same as being strong. What is seen as strong in this worldly realm, is a weakness in the heavenly realms.

There needs to be a paradigm shift in your mind, moving from a fear based thinking to a faith based thought process. Take a tally of what fear has cost you, in relationships, in opportunities and in evaluating your personal value & worth.

2 Corinthians 12:9
But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me

#276 – The God of Yes and Amen

Brian KeithLeave a comment

There is liberty and fun in serving me. I AM more than a God of, ‘Thou Shalt Not’. I AM also the God of yes and amen. Take a moment to recall all that I have done for you and your family.

The financial miracles, the relationships that were restored and the positive health reports. I have been holding calamity at bay since the womb. No matter how hard or painful, you survived.

This is the testimony, Life is the proof of MY grace, love and mercy. I sit high and look low, looking after MY children and you are MY child. I AM a Good Father looking for ways to bless you, forgive you and to restore you.

The compassion and love I have for you will never end. It is why I established more than a contract with you, but a covenant. All of your shortcomings have been organized, counted and extinguished by the blood.

Micah 7:19
He will again have compassion on us; he will tread our iniquities underfoot. You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea.

#275 – Use Your Power to Love

Brian KeithLeave a comment

I love from everlasting to everlasting this is who I AM. All that is good, soothing or brings joy is from ME. Love does not exist without ME. I AM the author, manufacturer, distributor and it cannot be expressed without MY communion.

You were made with love, through love and for love, by the ONE that is comprised of Love. Confused? Find the love and you will find ME. Operate in love and purpose becomes clear. Submit to love and pain subsides. Harness love and you can control depression, darkness and a defeated spirit.

Let love lead. Anger is easy and pain is free, but love has a cost. Some will misuse it, others will abuse and a few with take your loving heart as a weakness. Despite what you see and how you feel. Love.

Consider your options. It is either to love or operate in fear. I AM asking you to love because when, where and who you love, gets ME. Use your power to love in the place of fear and it will change the trajectory of a soul.

1 Corinthians 16:13-14
Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong. And do everything with love.

#274 – Establish Me

Brian KeithLeave a comment

I want to be free in mind and spirit, clear to hear from you Lord. I have so many unholy thoughts running through MY mind. Thoughts of fear and comparing MY life, to the life of others. I feel inadequate, yet you to speak me.

You have placed your words in my mouth, give me the right heart for your people. I need a shift in my attitude and my mindset. I want to see people the way you see them. Please forgive me for having a critical spirit.

I noticed that many of my thoughts are selfish and based on jealousy. I need your help to fix my heart. Remove the spirit of judgment and fill me with your reckless everlasting love. Make my heart unconditional.

I need divine healing, establish me from the inside out. I repent for placing my desire above yours. I repent for not trusting you and for leaning to my own understanding. You are my God and I will submit to you. Praise your name Father.

Proverbs 3:5
Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding

#273 – A Place for You

Brian KeithLeave a comment

Everyone around you needs help. They are hurting and I have given you MY anointing with MY authority to provide solutions. Each person knows and has a part of the puzzle, your part mixed with another’s part is the elixir.

Do not worry about how you will fit into the culture. I have already made a place for you and it will be outside of social norms. I have made you to be different from the rest, not homogenous. Why? For you to influence, the world for ME, but not be influenced by it.

Your link to ME is direct without any intermediaries. MY heart is hardwired to your heart. This has at least two benefits. Your voice will be clear and your identity will also be clear.

When what you do, why you do and how you do things are aligned, chaos is defeated. This is the point of having power and influence. Yes, salvation benefits you personally, but also advances the kingdom, while ensuring that Satan is defeated.

1 Peter 2:11-12
Dear friends, I warn you as “temporary residents and foreigners” to keep away from worldly desires that wage war against your very souls. Be careful to live properly among your unbelieving neighbors. Then even if they accuse you of doing wrong, they will see your honorable behavior, and they will give honor to God when he judges the world.

#272 – Building in the Unseen

Brian KeithLeave a comment

You are feeling overwhelmed like you are drowning. It is hard to focus and you shift from task to task. Why, because you have stopped following the cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night. The confusion is in your partial obedience.

Trust ME. The next season will be better. I have something amazing for you there. With ME, there is only increase, I multiply. So do not fear the change I AM directing you to make. A new vision comes with new provisions.

Make the shift quickly now that you know it is my will. Place all of your energy into what is next. Be 100% in the new, let the old pass away. Leave it all behind. Embrace what already existed, but was unseen, The New.

The anxiety is normal, but it is critical that you move. Focus less on what you may lose, but on what the obedience gains. With ME, even what seems like subtraction is an addition. Why, because we are building in the unseen.

2 Corinthians 4:18
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

#271 – Inhale MY Goodness

Brian KeithLeave a comment

In your mind, you say, if I can only get to this level, I will be happy. If I accomplish this goal, I will be content. The goal is great, but not God. The external may affirm, but it is the internal that confirms.

Build your future on ME, the rock. What money buys is temporal, what faith buys is eternal. Which is better, that which is destroyed or that which flows forever. I AM forever flowing, there is always a new thing in ME. It will take several eternities to know ME.

There is a good that the world, society and even your community holds dear. Their good is not MY good. MY good is equivalent to righteousness, MY goodness extinguishes darkness. MY goodness has no rival and no equal. MY goodness is displayed through grace, forgiveness and love.

Stop digesting what the world sees and hears. Begin now to inhale MY goodness. I want you to be intoxicated with ME. You and I intertwined on a molecular level. A covalent bond that cannot be easily severed.

Isaiah 43:19
Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

#270 – The Voices of Compromise

Brian KeithLeave a comment

Which is better, MY grace or MY goodness? Obedience always produces a better result. The difficulties facing you may be due to choosing a way, apart and opposed to me. This is not about sin, but about following MY voice.

I need you to trust MY voice, even when it violates your feelings. To hear ME over the voices of compromise. To believe your heart and ignore your mind. The heart hears me, but do you hear ME?

Jonah was angry, because God was merciful and compassionate, long-suffering and full of love. His head was against Niveveh, but his heart was for the Lord. Jonah knew God was gracious, but thought Nineveh deserved wrath.

Can you override your opinions, of others and love? Will you be an extension of grace to those that have violated MY laws? Can you forgive them and serve them, as I have forgiven you and served you?

Jonus 4:2
I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abounding in love, a God who relents from sending calamity

#269 – Exalt Others

Brian KeithLeave a comment

What have you done with the talents I have given you? Some have many, others have a few and others have one. How are you helping MY people? The gift you have is from ME and designed to reflect ME.

Are you using your talents to build up treasures or to build MY kingdom? When you build wealth, you will have wealth for a season. When you build MY people you will build communities, societies and humanities. This is MY heart and MY vision.

If you build what is seen, it will be eventually lost. If you build the unseen, it will last forever. Who are you building for? Who are you seeking to impress? What kingdom are you working to support, the kingdom of light or the kingdom of darkness?

Serve MY people and their needs. Living life for self is a life living lost. Humble yourself and you will be exalted, exalt yourself and you will be humbled. Exalt others and you will leave a legacy.

Matthew 23:11-12
The greatest among you must be a servant. But those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.

#268 – The Pain of Birth

Brian KeithLeave a comment

I AM covering you, do not be so concerned with making a mistake. I will cover those too. I have called you to MYSELF and not to being perfect. As you enter into MY presence, glory and intoxicating love, I will do the perfecting.

Consider the hell your bloodline has gone through. I AM delivering you to deliver them. To break a generational curse, to take what the enemy stole and make it Holy. To purify the pains by changing the trajectory of your entire family.

As a woman experiences the pain of birth, her body is misshaped and bruised. As the bones around the birth canal are forced to expand, the breath deepens, the cervix and pupils dilate, the blood pressure elevates all culminating, to produce life.

Though it is a season of discomfort, physical trauma and a near death experience. The beauty of the new born baby makes the travail, worthwhile. To hold new life in your arms overshadows the hurts and then the prize makes the process worthwhile.

John 16:21
“Whenever a woman is in labor she has pain, because her hour has come; but when she gives birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy that a child has been born into the world.

#267 – You are the One

Brian KeithLeave a comment

You are questioning yourself. How will I do this and how will I do that? The worries of life are flooding in. The flood is the evidence of purpose. I AM in the heavens declaring into eternity, you are mine, you will be fine and you are valuable.

I leave the ninety-nine for the one, the world says the one is not significant. The one is expendable. The one is not worth the efforts. The one is a mistake, but to ME, the one is worthy of the pursuit. You are the one.

Let the chaos, that seems to abound be a sign and the signature that MY grace is abundant. Grace is MY seed and MY glory is the harvest. MY glory is coming and it is guaranteed. The devil is defeated and the darkness, the fear and the pain will soon tremble.

What has been made to destroy you, in MY hands, will edify and purify you. Every plan, every attack and every evil scheme will be overturned, then made to work in your favor. For MY beloved, nothing is ever lost, but stored and returned with interest.

2 Cor. 12:9
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

#266 – Consult the Way Maker

Brian Keith2 Comments

You have done more than most and this is a good thing, but have you done explicitly, what I have asked. Your calling is designed for you and no other. I make all things on purpose and for purpose, there are no accidents.

It is fine to simply be who I made you to be and how I have made you is perfect. My people perish for a lack of knowledge of who they are. Independence of thought and identity can only come through ME.

Men have spent multiple lifetimes to find fulfillment outside of ME. It is there choice and an act of their will, but it is futile. If you are looking for a way, consult the Way Maker. All that I have is Good and perfect.

Be wise and stop kicking against the pricks. You are a custom made soul and there is so much, that I have for you. Be honest, your ways of doing things is not working. Forgive yourself, repent and rejoin the FATHER.

Acts 9:3-5
As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven. Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?” And he said, “Who are You, Lord?” Then the Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads.”

#265 – Your Silence Equals Death

Brian KeithLeave a comment

Walk boldly into your environments and say exactly what you hear. The keys to life and death are in your mouth. MY word is in you and you have been released to confront the spirits of pain, fear and hopelessness. The answer to suicide is in your voice.

I need you, to shift from questioning your calling to operating in it. From playing it small to boldly declaring MY words. From frivolous debates to declaring war on the evil one. From questioning miracles to decisively operating in them.

Your mind will find every plausible excuse to remain silent, but people are dying and souls are being lost. Your silence equals death. I have placed answers in you, for the world’s problems. Your assignment is life, to speak life, to promote life and to protect life.

Remember nothing is impossible within ME, you have intrinsic power and MY anointing further empowers you. First embrace the Grace and then embrace the power. You are being commanded now to move offensively, to take the fight to the adversary. It is time to pluck people out of the enemies hand.

Jeremiah 32:27
Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is anything too hard for me?

#264 – Let Me Love You

Brian KeithLeave a comment

Once I forgive you, you are forgiven. It is MY will not to hold it against you, to erase the indictment from MY memory. The same power, in which, I forgive MY family is the same power used to build the heavens and the earth.

Love is perpetual forgiveness and divine love has forgiveness woven into its fibers. Though sin leaves a crimson stain, MY overwhelming love washes it white as snow. Nothing stands in the way of ME loving you.

Every problem has a remedy in ME and every situation can be resolved by MY presence. Begin to invite ME into your pains, problems and plans. Nothing is too hard for ME. I have an ocean of forgiveness and second chances.

I AM the best God you will ever find. The one true and living God. MY word and ways are flawless. Let MY love you, except MY indelible mark of love. MY love is never ending and flawless. I will relentlessly pursue you to restore MY bride.

Isaiah 1:18
“Come now, and let us reason together,” Says the Lord, “Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool.

#263 – If God Be For You

Brian Keith3 Comments

You have been a target of the enemy from the day you were born. Your very birth is a threat to his kingdom. The warfare you have experienced has been intense and unusual. When others rested you had to fight.

Everywhere you have gone there was a fight. A fight to be heard, a fight to be seen as valuable, a fight to be left alone, a fight for your own personal space, a fight for your thoughts and a fight to know who you are.

This means you are marked and the devil knows your name. As with any exceptional athlete, the competition must pay special attention to you. If the enemy can neutralize you, then he can discourage many.

Despite the plans against you, God has a bigger and a better plan. If God be for you, then who on earth and or outside of it, has the power to overrule God? The intensity of anointing is why there is an intensity of attack. The call is being confirmed by the chaos.

Romans 8:31
What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us?

#262 – A place of Peace

Brian KeithLeave a comment

All that I do is to redeem you, to create a path and a way home for MY sons & daughters. I have gone through great lengths for us to reign together in eternity. Let no man steal MY AGAPE love from you.

There are no restrictions or scarcity in Heaven, WE have plenty of room. Religion says, do well and you are loved well. In MY Kingdom, I love well and the confrontation with MY overwhelming love, causes men to do well.

I am the bridegroom and you are MY bride. With great time, effort and expense I have prepared a place for you. I AM courting you for covenant, for a relationship sealed with blood and established in forevermore. I AM the LORD, both the dowry and the ransom have been paid.

This means, I am willing and wealthy. Willing to clear all debts owed and wealthy beyond measure to completely care for you. I have made ready a place of everlasting life. A place of peace. A place of abundance. A place of love and a place of rest in ME.

Isaiah 54:5
For your Creator will be your husband; the LORD of Heaven’s Armies is his name! He is your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, the God of all the earth.

#261 – It Was Love

Brian KeithLeave a comment

The assignment is to love, even when it hurts. When MY people let you down, continue to love, when they break your heart, rejoice. Why, because you are becoming Christ-like. This is the cost of unconditional love and you have been called to it.

Love listens, love soothes, love waits, love covers, love unites, love answers, love praises, love conquers, love assists, love stands, love helps, love works, love continues, love equips, love witnesses and love heals.

Let your words begin and end with love. Give love, as a gift, to everyone that you see and touch. As you see MY sons and daughters sick, hurting and needing help, remember that I love them fully, as I love you.

Love is more than a command for ME. My DNA make up is love. Love is the substance of who I AM and the building block of all that was made. You being MY finest creation, carry MY very breath. It was love, that I breathe into man giving him life. LOVE.

1 Corinthians 13:4-5
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

#260 – Move with MY Holiness

Brian KeithLeave a comment

The anointing needed for the next season will fall, once you step into it. You can only become a master when you leave apprenticeship. I understand your reservations, but I AM asking you to trust the ME, inside you.

When your season has expired, is it time to move. What I did there was Holy, but you must learn the difference between a Holy thing and the source of all Holiness. Move with MY holiness.

The resources for the next season of your life are contained within that season. The finances, the energy, the master plan, the people, the new information and the grace you need are waiting in the next season.

Have courage and move into the next phase with confidence. I AM the God of your past and your future Glory. Embrace this new season and let the old manna go. What you need, I have obligated MYSELF to fulfill.

Exodus 16:4
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Look, I’m going to rain down food from heaven for you. Each day the people can go out and pick up as much food as they need for that day. I will test them in this to see whether or not they will follow my instructions.

#259 – Will it be Life or Death?

Brian KeithLeave a comment

The most challenging adversity exists in the mind. The willingness to face your personal darkness is work and the hard thing. The demon of doubt, the demon of a low esteem and the fear of failure reside there.

I have made you to be internally motivated not externally. This means that both cowardice and courage are internal mechanisms. The world, the culture or the powers that be, can only influence the opinions, that are already in you.

The lucid thoughts and the second guessing of self are the residues of a fallen world, no one is immune. However, the conquerors are those that embrace the call being fully aware of these limitations and excel despite them.

In the midst of Eden stood two trees, the Tree of Life and The Knowledge of Good & Evil. Adam and Eve had options and a decision to make. The same choice is yours, Will it be Life or Death?

Genesis 2:15-17
The LORD God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to tend and watch over it. But the LORD God warned him, “You may freely eat the fruit of every tree in the garden except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If you eat its fruit, you are sure to die.”

#258 – Find a Set of Values

Brian KeithLeave a comment

The enemy is not a creator, but a counterfeiter. Since he cannot create, he corrupts. Just a small compromise here and there has great implications, like a small fox, to ruin the vines.

The enemy’s goal is to corrupt systems by stealing, killing and destroying. He uses the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh and the pride of life to wrongly influence. Are your choices true or have you been influenced to believe in a certain way?

The enemy’s systems are binding and limiting. God’s systems are building and liberating. What system, has the accuser, used to keep you bound? Is it a relational wound, familiar spirit or a tradition.

What do you believe and most importantly, Who do you believe? You, not your friends, family or your tribe, but what are your values? Search your heart, find a set of values, that align with the MY Holy Spirit.

Songs 2:15
Catch the foxes for us, the little foxes that spoil the vineyards, for our vineyards are in blossom.

#257 – The God of this World

Brian KeithLeave a comment

Your witness is in your peace. It is in the way you remain calm when others are anxious. Seeing the hope in a hopeless situation. Your lifestyle shows people how to handle the pressures of life with grace.

Many that are unable to receive me, will receive you. Carry ME with you, so that MY peace can be a comforter. An alternative to cycles of pain and addiction. Be MY heart helper.

Wealth is the god of this world. It can pay for the best in care, but not buy health. It can pay for companionship, but not buy a friend. It can pay for affection, but not buy love. It can pay for happiness, but not buy joy.

With or without money, I am sending you, because the world is hurting. The world is full of money, yet it is poor. It is filled with temporal pleasures, that have no eternal value. You, however are rich with spiritual gifting and MY love.

Philippians 4:6-7
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
