Beloved, just as your words are powerful, so are your thoughts. I want you to begin to pay attention to your thought life and to what you do, and make a determination to separate the things that are vital from things that are a waste of time. This will help you define and refine what you believe and who you are so that you are more closely aligned with My purposes for you, says the Lord. Jeremiah 15:19 “Therefore thus says the LORD: “If you return, then I will bring you back; you shall stand before Me; if you take out the precious from the vile, you shall be as My mouth. Let them return to you, but you must not return to them.” Be Butterfly Blessed – Min BJ Christmas

Beloved, in the wake of what’s going on in the earth today, I admonish you to find your place of peace even in the midst of turmoil. Be calm and collected regardless of what is going on around you. Rise above the darkness of the earth and live as a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven, says the Lord. Refuse to be troubled by what you hear. You belong to Me, and I will protect My own. Remember, the earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof. John 14:27 “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” Be Butterfly Blessed – Min BJ Christmas

Beloved, when you answered the call to come into My Kingdom, I asked you to do what is right in every instance–not what is convenient. I want you to be objective and honest in all things. Do not be swayed by emotional prejudice, but be righteous, says the Lord. Psalms 5:12 “For You, O LORD, will bless the righteous; with favor You will surround him as with a shield.” Be Butterfly Blessed – Min BJ Christmas

Beloved, I want you to observe teachable moments. Now is the time for you to learn to be quiet and shut out all the noise and voices except for Mine, and hear exactly what I’m saying, says the Lord. You cannot have sound judgment or make good decisions when there are too many voices, too much chatter, too many busy bodies and too much confusion around you. Because of these distractions, you cannot discern properly until you can find a place of peace both externally and internally. Be focused and be still. Psalms 46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” Be Butterfly Blessed – Min BJ Christmas

Beloved, doing justice is My desire for you. That is to discern right from wrong and make a decision to do what is right in every case. The world abounds with injustice, and you must fight the perversion that comes to seduce you into compromising the truth. You must stand for what is right and good without wavering, says the Lord. Isaiah 5:20 “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” Be Butterfly Blessed – Min BJ Christmas

Beloved, when you can’t figure out what to do, you need to take a break from the issue and quiet your soul. Ask for wisdom, and I will show you the next thing to do. Then, it is up to you to be obedient and follow My directions. Trust Me to bring you through every difficulty, says the Lord. 1 John 5:14 “Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.” Be Butterfly Blessed – Min BJ Christmas

Beloved, with everything going on around you, doing things the same way just for the sake of doing it, will no longer work. Now is an opportune time to break old bad habits and to begin to form new, beneficial ones. Many of the things that you blame on forces of evil are simply a result of bondages of the flesh formed from habitual choices. Allow Me to give you the strength to overcome by making better decisions, says the Lord. Romans 12:21 “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” Be Butterfly Blessed – Min BJ Christmas

Beloved, if in your heart, you seek My face and My will, I will direct you in the path of righteous living. And, your actions on that path will please Me very much. If you depart from that path to have your own way in satisfying your flesh desires, you will also depart from My presence. Choose wisely, says the Lord. Romans 9:8 “That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted as the seed.” Be Butterfly Blessed – Min BJ Christmas

Beloved, set yourself to receive wisdom and direction that will change your routines in ways that will result in a better quality of life. Understand that what seems to be a minor change will result in major benefits. But, recognize that you must be willing to let go of habits and behaviors that have ultimately created more harm than good. It is My desire for you to live in optimum strength and spiritual awareness, says the Lord. Let Me show you the way. Psalms 139:24 “And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” Be Butterfly Blessed – Min BJ Christmas
