the FireCarrier

In the beginning was the Word. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. All things were made through Him, and apart from Him nothing was made that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. ‭‭John‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭TLV‬‬ Watch your reactions. Stop and listen for there is a message for you this day as you read it. Allow me access. Let me be your covering. Come to those places where you last heard from me. What did you learn there? Now move along. I will provide what you need.

On the twentieth day of the second month of the second year, the cloud lifted from above the tabernacle of the covenant law. Then the Israelites set out from the Desert of Sinai and traveled from place to place until the cloud came to rest in the Desert of Paran. They set out, this first time, at the Lord’s command through Moses. ‭‭Numbers‬ ‭10‬:‭11‬-‭13‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Yes, this is a time for you. Wash yourself with my forgiveness and draw nearer to me. Don't allow distractions to keep you away. Be doing what I've shown you. Walk in the pathway in love. Follow my light. I will lead where you should go.

Let me put this question to you: How did your new life begin? Was it by working your heads off to please God? Or was it by responding to God’s Message to you? Are you going to continue this craziness? For only crazy people would think they could complete by their own efforts what was begun by God. If you weren’t smart enough or strong enough to begin it, how do you suppose you could perfect it? Did you go through this whole painful learning process for nothing? It is not yet a total loss, but it certainly will be if you keep this up! Galatians 3:2-4 Allow me to open your eyes. See beyond the clouds of this rainy morning. All that is there is my creation. I have given life by my spoken word. Carry my word within you. Allow it to bring your healing. Speak forth, believing what I tell you, all  in love.

The Mighty One, God, the Lord, speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to where it sets. From Zion, perfect in beauty, God shines forth. Our God comes and will not be silent; a fire devours before him, and around him a tempest rages. He summons the heavens above, and the earth, that he may judge his people: “Gather to me this consecrated people, who made a covenant with me by sacrifice.” And the heavens proclaim his righteousness, for he is a God of justice. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭50‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭NIV‬‬

So, because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jewish leaders began to persecute him. In his defense Jesus said to them, “My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working.” For this reason they tried all the more to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God. ‭‭John‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬-‭18‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Rest in me. Don't allow the enemy to cause you to become distracted. He would lead you on the way to everlasting death. He would take your focus away from the way for you to be going. Seek me. Consume my written word. Within it is the pathway for life. I am the healer which you need.

One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to get well?” “Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me.” Then Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.” At once the man was cured; he picked up his mat and walked. The day on which this took place was a Sabbath, ‭‭John‬ ‭5‬:‭5‬-‭9‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Pick up the pieces from your life and give them to me. Leave your anxiety covered in my peace. Become sure of me. I have more for you. Are you ready to see with my vision? You will see the results as you respond in faith.

He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭46‬:‭10‬-‭11‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Learn the power of your speech. Those words carry life or death. They affect you and those others you are around. Let them reflect my heart. Learn my voice. Become who I have created you to become. Listen for my guiding you throughout your day.
