Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?” “The one who showed him mercy,” replied the expert in the law. Then Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭10‬:‭36‬-‭37‬ (‭BSB) Do not walk in fear nor presumption. Listen for a moment and hear my speaking to you. Come, acknowledge my presence. Allow it to overwhelm and heal you. I am your maker and creator. There are activities yet instore for you. Are you ready?

Settle yourself, don't be in a rush. Allow my peace to descend upon you. It is time to begin cleaning out. Get rid of those items you no longer use or need. Toss them into the past. Clean up those tangles. Allow me to introduce you to some deeper things which matter to me. Be ready to move forward. I will show you new things .

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through Him all things were made, and without Him nothing was made that has been made. In Him was life, and that life was the light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. ‭‭John‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭(BSB‬‬)

You may ask in your heart, How can we recognize a message that the Lord has not spoken? When a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord and the message does not come to pass or come true, that is a message the Lord has not spoken. The prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him. ‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭18‬:‭21‬-‭22‬ ‭(BSB‬‬) Stop and look around you. All which you see is but a portion of my creation. There are sounds which you hear and those you do not. Those you recognize and those which frighten you. Become whole. Reach out to me in your times of weakness and terror. I am there. I can provide which you need to grow further in me. Call to me believing I can and will respond to you. Begin your journey each day with me.

The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers. You must listen to him. This is what you asked of the Lord your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly, when you said, “Let us not hear the voice of the Lord our God or see this great fire anymore, so that we will not die!” Then the Lord said to me, “They have spoken well. I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers. I will put My words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him. And I will hold accountable anyone who does not listen to My words that the prophet speaks in My name. But if any prophet dares to speak a message in My name that I have not commanded him to speak, or to speak in the name of other gods, that prophet must be put to death. ‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭18‬:‭15‬-‭20‬ ‭(BSB‬‬)

Do not be led astray, my beloved brothers. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no change or shadow of turning. Of His own will He brought us forth with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures. ‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭16‬-‭18‬ ‭(MEV‬‬) It is time to remove wrong thinking and junk from your life. It blinds you, keeping you from your time with me. Watch for me reaching out to you. I will steady you. Refill yourself with me. Find the answers you need within my written word.

When Jesus returned, the crowd gladly received Him, for they were all waiting for Him. Then a man named Jairus, who was a ruler of the synagogue, came and fell down at Jesus’ feet, and begged Him to come to his house, for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. As He went, the people crowded Him... But when Jesus heard it, He answered him, “Do not fear. Only believe, and she will be made well.” When He came into the house, He permitted no one to go in except Peter, John and James, and the father and mother of the girl. All wept and mourned for her. But He said, “Do not weep. She is not dead but sleeping.” They laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead. But He put them all outside and took her by the hand and called, saying, “Little girl, arise.” Her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And He told them to give her food. Her parents were astonished, but He commanded them to tell no one what had happened. ‭‭Luke‬ ‭8‬:‭40‬-‭42‬, ‭50‬-‭56‬ (‭MEV)

If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you and gives you a sign or a wonder, and the sign or the wonder comes to pass concerning that which he spoke to you, saying, “Let us go after other gods,” which you have not known, “and let us serve them,” you must not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams, for the Lord your God is testing you, to know whether you love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. You must follow after the Lord your God, fear Him, and keep His commandments, obey His voice, and you must serve Him, and cling to Him. ‭‭Deuter­­onomy‬ ‭13‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭(MEV‬‬) Listen to the words I have had others give to you. They contain guidance and encouragement. This is not the time to be timid or self-reflective. Stand firm. It is time to be growing deeper with me. Speak truth in love. Become more aware of me. I will lead you in my way.

As they sailed across, Jesus settled down for a nap. But soon a fierce storm came down on the lake. The boat was filling with water, and they were in real danger. The disciples went and woke him up, shouting, “Master, Master, we’re going to drown!” When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and the raging waves. Suddenly the storm stopped and all was calm. Then he asked them, “Where is your faith?” The disciples were terrified and amazed. Who is this man? they asked each other. When he gives a command, even the wind and waves obey him! ‭‭Luke‬ ‭8‬:‭23‬-‭25‬ ‭(NLT) As you look about, do not feel lost or overwhelmed by circumstances. Follow what I have last placed within you. I am still leading you. Grow strong in my Word. Let it continually feed you with my purpose and direction. It will lead you in the direction you should go.
