the FireCarrier

Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus. He called out to them, “Friends, haven’t you any fish?” “No,” they answered. He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.” ‭‭John‬ ‭21‬:‭4‬-‭6‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) It is me. Recognize when I call out to you. I will direct the way for you to be going. Close your eyes to what the world wishes to shove at you. I have shown you the way. Walk secure and boldly in my love. You too can help bring in the haul .

Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus’ head. The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the linen. Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb  first, also went inside. He saw and believed. (They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.) Then  the disciples went back to where they were staying. ‭‭John‬ ‭20‬:‭6‬-‭10‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) I am alive and remain unchanged. Come sit with me. Allow my healing to flow over and through you. Allow my wisdom to guide and direct you in the way you should walk. I am your example. Grow, share and reflect me to others.

Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created. ‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭16‬-‭18‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) Look ahead and past what your eyes tell you what you may see. Ask me and receive what you need. Ask me in belief. I will continue to be with you in your journey. Share me. Allow others to see me through your actions.

Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.” ‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭16‬-‭18‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) Return. Come back to that meeting spot and be refreshed in me. I will wash away the dirt and missteps. I will anoint you with my refreshing oil. Listen for me. I will reveal myself to you. My love will cover you in peace.

Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, “Who is it you want?” “Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “I am he,” Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.) When Jesus said, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground. Again he asked them, “Who is it you want?” “Jesus of Nazareth,” they said. Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If you are looking for me, then let these men go.” This happened so that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled: “I have not lost one of those you gave me.” ‭‭John‬ ‭18‬:‭4‬-‭9‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) Are you listening for me? It is important for you to recognize my voice of direction. Know the call I have placed on your life. Don't compare yourself with others. But be washed and made whole in me.

After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began. ‭‭John‬ ‭17‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) Wherever you may travel, on course or off-track I am there. I am watching over you in your journey. Listen, and you will hear my sharing my heart. I will provide what is needed tomorrow as I have before, even before you begin.
