Dear Friends,

When you hear the word "alignment," you think of things being made straight, circumstances being set right, and our lives getting organized and put together. As I was reading the Word this morning, the Holy Spirit spoke to me these two words: stability and alignment. He led me to Isaiah 33:6, “Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times, and the strength of salvation; The fear of the LORD is His treasure.”
As I spent time with the Lord for clear direction, He continued to remind me of the importance of committing my ways to Him and acknowledging Him in all my ways. He will align my path and the direction of where He wants me to go. The Bible says in Proverbs 16:3, “Commit your works to the LORD, and your thoughts will be established.”

As we are living in a world of perilous times, we are in awe of the importance of knowing God's purpose and plan for our lives. Many times it's easy for us to feel like we are too young, too old or we've missed it, but God reminds us over and over again that He has a plan and a purpose for our lives. There is no "best if used by date" when it comes to the promises of God. There is no such thing as missing it, not being qualified, or being too young or too old to fulfill the purpose for which we were created. Just ask Mary, Sarah, David, Elizabeth, and more. God specializes in using highly unlikely people to fulfill His purposes—people that others overlook, disregard, dismiss, or ignore. It brings God greater glory.

You're not finished; you're not done, and it's not over. Keep pressing, keep reaching, keep going because God is worthy of every ounce of energy expended for His glory on this earth.

Your lives play a crucial role in His divine plan. Your dedication and service are not in vain. Remember, as you align your work with the Lord's purposes, He will continue to guide and bless your efforts abundantly. Your donations to MMM are continuing to make a lasting impact for His kingdom.

Thank you once again for being an integral part of this movement, making all things possible. Stay connected with us on FB, YT, and www.marilynmurrayministries.com. We look forward to continuing this journey with you.

Wishing all of you and your families a Happy Thanksgiving and a joyous time as we look forward to our upcoming Christmas and New Years.
Blessings to you all.

​Hello Dear Friends,
​
Have you ever felt like life's challenges are piling up, making you feel overwhelmed and discouraged? I'm pretty sure we've all been there, facing things that seem too much to handle. Anxiety and worry can try to consume us.

The power of Jesus in our lives helps us to conquer fear, guilt, insecurity, and worry. God’s grace gives us his incredible strength. His force is made up of peace, confidence, love, and courage, and there are so many  more attributes we can have from our relationship with Jesus.

I will never forget when our son was 3 months old and had been sick with the croup. We had been up for 3 days and nights with our baby boy. All of a sudden there was a knock on the door and it was my husband's parents. They immediately came in and took our son and began to walk and pray with our baby and then sent us to bed so we could sleep. We drifted off for a couple of hours. When we awoke we found our baby completely healed and sleeping soundly. What a relief it was to not only have parents that cared but to see the supernatural power of God heal our son's body and restore him to complete health. What a testament of God’s peace and grace.

In Philippians 4:13 reminds us that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. Confessing God's word is so vital and powerful; it helps us to command fear to be under our feet. His perfect love casts out all fear (2 Timothy 1:7).  God will not give you more than you can handle.  (1 Corinthians 10:13).  And let's not forget Romans 8:28—God can turn things around for our good when we love Him and walk with Him.

Know this dear one, that as we walk hand in hand with God, He will honor us and shower us with His favor.  In every step we take, in every corner of our lives, His goodness and grace will prevail, as glory is given to Him. He is faithful, continually pouring out His love into every area of our lives.

God’s key to living free of anxiety and worry is to walk in His peace and grace. It’s hard to have peace if we don’t understand His grace. God’s grace is His unmerited favor. This is why Paul continued to say grace and peace be multiplied because he didn’t want the church to be full of fear and anxiety.

Dear Precious Partners,

I hope this message finds you well. Life can be unpredictable, and at times we all have experienced being robbed in some form or another. It can be a devastating feeling when our finances, jobs, or opportunities are taken away from us. However, I want to share with you an inspiring story from 1 Samuel 30 about David and his men that I believe will encourage you during this time.

David and his men had just returned from war to find their city burned and their wives and children kidnapped. Can you imagine the horror of coming home from war to find everything plundered and taken? The men wept so hard they had no more strength left, and the first thing they wanted to do was blame David and kill him.

Despite his own loss, David did two things that should encourage us all. First, he encouraged himself in the Lord. The Bible says that “David found strength in the Lord his God.” So if you find yourself in a similar situation, remember to encourage yourself in the Lord as well.

The second thing David did was seek the Lord’s guidance. He called the priest and asked to put on the ephod to inquire of the Lord. David specifically asked if he should pursue the enemy and if he would overtake them if he did. God answered clearly and told David to pursue them, assuring him that he would succeed in rescuing his family.

David and his 600 men pursued the enemy, even though they were already exhausted from the previous war. 200 of them could not continue, so they stayed behind and rested while the other 400 pursued. God used a slave they found in the field to help David and his men, and they eventually recovered everything that was taken.

The lesson here is that God wants us to encourage ourselves in Him and seek His guidance when we are faced with difficult situations. He will give us clear instructions and help us recover everything the enemy has stolen from us. So, take heart and trust in the Lord during this season. Remember that nothing is missing and nothing is broken in our lives because God is redeeming the time. Let’s hold on to hope and keep pressing forward with faith.

We are also grateful for your continued financial support that has made a tremendous impact on our mission here at MMM. Your kindness and generosity have enabled us to minister both locally and globally in multiple avenues that we would otherwise not be able to do without your help. You are part of something truly meaningful and life-changing here by investing in the kingdom of God.

Dear Partners,

It's the start of a new year and what better way to kick things off than with a declaration of abundant blessings for you this year!

Scripture tells us that when we seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, all other things will be added unto us. As we pursue Him, we can trust that He is faithful to fulfill His promises.

In John 15:12-13 the Word of God says; "My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends." What an incredible reminder that God's love is so much greater than anything we could ever imagine. Let us keep our gaze fixed on Him and trust in His unfailing love.

Do you want to see the incredible power of God released in your life? Then start putting the love commandment in action. Start loving those around you today.

When we show love and kindness to those around us, we tap into a source of divine power that can transform our lives and unlock so many opportunities for us. We can be an example of grace and mercy, and by doing so, be a beacon of hope for others.

God loves us deeply, and when we show that same love to others we are reflecting the nature of God. Make a commitment today to take action on loving others and watch what happens!

We are so excited about our upcoming Spring Conference, Defining Your Legacy. This is a special event and we'd love for you to join us.

This conference is designed to help you create a legacy that will last long after you've gone. We have amazing speakers who will help you discover the power of your legacy and how to use it to make a positive impact in the world.

Happy Thanksgiving To All My Precious Partners,

Did you know that gratitude is the key that opens up the door to a life of abundance? When you are grateful, you see and receive what God has given you. You are not focused on what is lacking or how much more you want. Gratitude gives thanks for all things. In Psalms 100: 4 it says; “Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name.”

Each day remind yourself of God’s faithfulness and trust that He is working in your life, moving you forward and working all things for your good. Start each day thanking Him for what He’s done, and even for what He’s about to do in your life. Take comfort in knowing that God is on your side. He has already won the victory over every challenge, and will give you strength to overcome anything standing in your way.

God’s Word is alive and powerful. God is a God of Faith. He believes in the power of His words. If we are created in His image our words are also very powerful and are words of life or death. When you speak positive things into your life, it creates positive results.

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.

Today as I pray for you, I’m believing God for you to have a grateful heart which will in turn bring breakthrough in every area of your life. Could you share with me what you are grateful for? Go to marilynmurrayministries.com and leave a comment. I love hearing from you!
