Dear Friend,

March is an appointed time of miraculous manifestations! I believe it's a beginning! We are expecting them! We are trusting in His promise to us! The Lord spoke to our ministry telling us to pray and fast TO RECEIVE BREAKTHROUGHS! The impossible breakthroughs have begun with more to come!  Lives are being changed!

Do you need a miracle? I need a few miracles in my life. This is a time of miraculous
manifestations for those who will choose to believe Him! The Lord has been speaking to me lately about this very thing. It seems He would like to do some changes in areas that I have learned to tolerate. Now, I know this is easy to do in our busy society. It seems we get to moving so quickly from thing to thing that we forget about some of the important things. We learn to adjust and tolerate rather than expecting His best for our lives.

In January I was the proud recipient of a speeding ticket. This treasured item was presented to me by our local police as I was doing my normal speed - faster than the posted speed limit. I pulled over before the lights came on. I knew I was going to be stopped. I knew how fast I was going. I was guilty! The officer politely informed me that there was now a "zero tolerance" policy on that particular highway through our city. "Zero tolerance? Uh, Okay. Thank you, Officer. Good Night!"

I had the sense that the Lord was speaking something prophetic to my life with this event. After paying the fine some weeks later, I felt the need to inquire of the Lord as to what He wanted to speak to me.

The message was very simple - SLOW DOWN. "Well, Lord I know you want me to do that. That is obvious to me. So why did it cost me $127 for you to say that to me." His response was just as simple, "I had been speaking to you, but you were not responding to My voice. You were saying to yourself, 'I need to slow down. I need to slow down'. I got your attention by having one of my ministers serve you".

Now this was not just being spoken to my driving but to my entire life. I had already begun to make adjustments here and there. But overall I was still flying through life letting things slip. As I have made a conscious effort to slow down, I have seen some changes I had believed God for begin gradually manifesting! Some of them are subtle. Some of them are bold! 

The challenge to look back at all the things I have let slip has come to my attention. "Why have you quit believing Me in this area and in that area? Renew your hope in Me! I want to do miracles!  I want to do them in the things that you tolerate!"

"...be not slothful, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. For when God made promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no greater, He swore by Himself, saying  "Surely in blessing I will bless you, and in multiplying I will multiply you." And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise."  Hebrews 6:12-15

God always rewards faith!  Believe Him for your miracles today!

Until we meet again, we are...
