As I was praying this morning, I found myself sitting with Jesus on a bench, and in front of us the sun was rising over the trees. It was beautiful.
We talked about many different things for a while – and I felt His love in every word He spoke.
He handed me a box and asked me to open it. When I did, a beautiful flower popped straight up. It had different shades of blue, pink, and purple – and it glowed with light. It was amazing!
When I looked at Him to ask about it, He said, “This flower represents your faith. When your faith is strong, this flower stands tall in all of its beauty. When your faith is weak, it withers.
It starts out as a small seed, and as your faith grows – so does the flower. When your faith shrinks back – so does the flower.”
He then showed me times in my life when my faith was weak, and I saw the flower had wilted down to nothing. It didn’t look like it would ever come back – but as my faith grew, the flower came back time and time again.
He said, “Faith steps are important. They start you on a journey that carries you forward in your relationship with Me.
As you take a step of faith, I am right there with you. When you move forward, I am with you. Even when you doubt, I am with you – encouraging you to keep going.
I give you visions and dreams that are full of purpose – full of answers you are seeking – and I want you to take steps of faith to fulfill those visions and dreams.
With each step you take, I am teaching you – preparing you for what is to come – preparing you for the many blessings I have for you.
There is never a time when I am not aware of how your heart feels regarding faith.
I know what you have been through. I know how hard it is for you to trust and believe in Me. I know the tactics of your enemy. I know the lies he whispers to you.
I know how he torments you, how he tries to distract you from the dreams and visions I have given to you.
And I also know your heart – how you desperately want to fulfill those dreams – how you long for peace, love, joy, and freedom.
I know you want to push through all the junk and all the noise – but you don’t know how – or where to even begin.
My children, it starts with your faith in Me. It starts with one step of faith – and then another – and another – and another.
These faith steps will take you higher and higher.
I see every step you take, and I am cheering you on – encouraging you, rejoicing with you.
I know the moment you begin to realize how your faith in Me has changed you and your perception on the situation. And when you begin to realize it, your faith truly begins to soar to new heights!
It is such a beautiful sight to behold!
If you want to know where to start – your first step is simply talking to Me. Tell Me your hopes and dreams. Tell Me your fears and doubts – and together, we will conquer all of these things.
I have wonderful plans for you, My children. Take that first step of faith and watch your breakthrough come!
Your faith steps will bloom, and My blessings will flow upon you.
Remember – I am with you in every step you take!”
Thank You, Jesus! Thank You for Your encouragement when we need it the most!
In a world with so much confusion, discouragement, fear, frustration, and anger – it’s really difficult to see through all of it. It’s hard to believe that there is a God and a Savior that loves us beyond our comprehension. It’s hard to fathom that He wants us to live a life full of joy, peace, hope, and love. But He does – and it is possible.
Faith is a foreign word to so many people – the ones that are deceived, the ones who have been hurt over and over again in the world we live in. The enemy does everything he can to keep them from lifting their heads up high. He wants them to focus on the things of this world. He wants them to stay distracted, confused, discouraged, fearful, frustrated, and angry. It suits his purposes when they stay in this mindset. And his purposes are always evil.
But things are changing. God is awakening the ones that are broken and deceived. They are lifting their heads up higher. They are looking beyond the noise and the chaos – and God is revealing Himself to them. He is encouraging them to take steps of faith so they can build trust in Him. For each step of faith they take brings them higher, closer to His heart. And oh, the beauty of what is coming because of these faith steps – it is going to take our breath away.
We are truly living in amazing times, and we are going to witness the biggest revival we have ever seen as the younger generation awakens and responds to the Lord calling them. Praise the Lord!
No matter what you are going through, choose to trust in the Lord. That is a step of faith. Choose it, and He will not fail you. God can see things that we can’t. Trust Him.
When you are in the thick of the storm, praise the Lord. Look up scriptures to counter what the enemy is speaking to you and speak those scriptures out loud. Tell the Lord that you choose Him, that you trust Him with the outcome, because you know He wants what is best for you, and you know that it is even better than what you think it will be.
He sees and He knows your heart – and He will send an entire army of angels to move on your behalf.
Take those steps of faith that He is speaking to you about. The answers and blessings will come. And if you are not hearing anything from the Lord – continue to seek Him with all of your heart until you hear or know what He wants you to do.
Faith steps will lead you directly to the Father’s heart. Step up – He is waiting for you.
In His love,
Kathy
