3 best foods to Take at bedtime

3. Bananas
Bananas are an often-overlooked but excellent source of tryptophan, an amino acid your body converts into serotonin – which boosts your mood and promotes restful sleep. Bananas also contain magnesium and potassium, which help your muscles relax, and even have a bit of melatonin, a hormone your body produces when it’s time to go to sleep.
2. Tart Cherry Juice
Cherries are another natural source of the “sleep hormone” melatonin, and research shows that levels are elevated in people who drink tart cherry juice regularly. Plus, one study found that drinking tart cherry juice improved sleep quality, increased total sleep time by about 25 minutes and boost “sleep efficiency,” a measure of sleep quality, by up to 6%
1. Almond Butter
Spread a tablespoon or two of almond butter on apple or banana slices, or even eat it straight from the jar. Almonds are a good source of sleep-promoting, muscle-relaxing magnesium, and they contain just enough protein to help keep your blood sugar levels steady while you sleep (without weighing you down like heavier protein sources).

The 5 Worst Foods to Eat Before Bed

5. Ice Cream, Cookies, Cake … Anything With Lots of Sugar (Including Breakfast Cereal)
If you’ve got a sweet tooth, resist the urge to splurge right before bed. The extra sugar will cause a spike in  blood sugar, making your energy levels jump and then plummet.[i] This wacky energy rollercoaster is the last thing you need to help you fall asleep.
4. Spicy Foods
Bedtime is not the time to break out your favorite hot sauce … spicy foods can interfere with your sleep. One reason for this is indigestion, but there’s more to it than that. They may also raise your body temperature, which can lead to poor sleep quality. Research shows, too, that when men ate Tabasco sauce and mustard right before bed, they spent more time awake during the night and took longer to fall asleep.[ii]
3. Steak
A big juicy steak right before bed might sound tempting, but red meat takes a long time to digest. This means that when you should be sleeping, your body will have to be hard at work digesting this fatty, protein-laden meal. Not exactly a recipe for restful slumber …
2. Dark Chocolate
Ordinarily, dark chocolate is one of the best desserts to try, as it’s got the highest level of antioxidants of all types of chocolate. However, it’s also got the most caffeine, and if you eat it right before bed, well, you might as well just drink a cup of strong coffee along with it.
1. Citrus Fruits
Because citrus fruits are so acidic, they’re notorious for causing indigestion and heartburn – especially if you eat them and then go and lie down. Save your grapefruits and oranges for earlier in the day, and if you want fruit before bed, opt for cherries or a banana.

To Thinking Great Thoughts

You may have noticed I invest a great deal of attention in training you how to think and how to control your thinking.

 

Why might that be?  What is the value in orderly, disciplined, creative and constructive thinking?

 

Think of this process as an upgrade for your mental operating system.  Just as you don’t want your computer to run on an outdated system, your mind can also upgrade to a higher level of thinking.

 

Experience the kind of mental activity that generates what could be called your highest life.  When you have “indulgent thinking” where you let yourself indulge in guilt or regret --or carry a grudge, you pay a price in the quality of your aliveness and creativity.  

 

Pay attention to what you are thinking; Move toward your passion and gratitude.  At the end of the month you will notice how much more energy you have, and how much beauty you have created around you.

 

To Thinking Great Thoughts

Silence really is golden!

Once a master said to his students, “What does the musician have in common with the mystic?”  After intense thinking the students all gave up and finally the master said, “The musician realizes that the finest music does not come from the instrument, but from out of the silence.”

 

Silence really is golden!  So today, I invite you to deepen your listening to life in silence.  Hear the beautiful silence speaking through nature, speaking between the lines, speaking between the sounds, even speaking between the beats of your own heart.

 

In the silence, Life is everywhere present.  All it asks is that you tune in to the internal music that is always within you, revealing the delight the universe has in your life.

 

Listen to the Silence...

You will experience your hardest tests and delays while you are still new in your power of understanding these principles.  

 

In the beginning, there may appear to be giant obstacles in your path.  This is a period of undoing your old thinking. It’s a period of opportunity for you to undergo some pop quizzes in your daily life.

 

You get to decide if you are going to persist in integrating your new understanding, or if you are going to revert to the gravitational pull of the patterns of your past.  You will be tested.  The wise don’t fight the obstacles.  Just bless the obstacle and keep moving toward that which you are seeking.

 

Over time, as your course becomes more direct, you will begin to recognize an obstacle before fighting it and you will master how to maneuver through life.  Over time, your obstacles will be used as stepping-stones.

 

To Your Persistance Paying Off

When I walk into the thick of trouble, keep me alive in the angry turmoil.

Ivy, I must admit. I was stomping my feet and grumbling about a project that needed to finish for you when my wife, Debra, reminded me that there was only so much that I could do to help make your dreams come to pass. She said, “Master Prophet, the people of God really should know that you are praying for them because there are people praying for you.”  Now, I know you pray for me. Do you know that I pray for you?  
In that moment, I was suddenly quickened by the Holy Spirit and I could feel the spirit of prophecy on me so strong. I just had to release this word of prophecy to you today. First, you should really …

• Believe that I pray for you and your family every single day.
• Continue to pray for others in your life because prayer changes things.
• See the hidden power of prayer in this prophecy that I give to you.

Ivy, now as you feel the Holy Ghost filling you with a sense of comfort on the inside of you, begin to relax deeply because what I reveal to you, will lend you power over your enemies. I have searched the Scriptures high and low and the Lord revealed a hidden prophetic prayer to me as I opened my Message Bible and the Gospel began to be revealed. 

I know you aren’t ashamed of the Gospel, so wherever you are right now, make a fist and picture yourself as if you were clinching the hand of the Prophet. Visualize me standing in your midst as we pray this prophetic prayer together…

When I walk into the thick of trouble, keep me alive in the angry turmoil.

With one hand strike my foes, with your other hand save me.

Finish what you started in me, God.

    Your love is eternal—don’t quit on me now. (Psalm 138:8 MSG)

Now as you continue to feel the power of this anointed prophetic prayer stirring up on the inside of you, read this next scripture below exactly three times because after you say the last word, you will notice that word is what you will have for today and in every venture you step into…
