the FireCarrier

Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed. Simon and his companions went to look for him, and when they found him, they exclaimed: “Everyone is looking for you!” Jesus replied, “Let us go somewhere else— to the nearby villages—so I can preach there also. That is why I have come.” So he traveled throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons. ‭‭Mark‬ ‭1‬:‭35‬-‭39‬ ‭NIV Warm yourself in my light. Allow it's healing rays to meet you. Let my words guide you throughout your day. I am with you on this journey. Listen for my guiding voice. Follow the way I have highlighted for you to be going.

Then Moses set up the courtyard around the tabernacle and altar and put up the curtain at the entrance to the courtyard. And so Moses finished the work. Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. Moses could not enter the tent of meeting because the cloud had settled on it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. In all the travels of the Israelites, whenever the cloud lifted from above the tabernacle, they would set out; but if the cloud did not lift, they did not set out—until the day it lifted. So the cloud of the Lord was over the tabernacle by day, and fire was in the cloud by night, in the sight of all the Israelites during all their travels. ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭40‬:‭33‬-‭38‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Do not be caught by false ideas. They too are but lies of the enemy. Learn to walk in my truth. Recognize my voice and my ways as I lead you forward. Feed yourself upon my Word. It is life  for you and those I bring into your  pathway. My ligh...

The beginning of the good news about Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God, as it is written in Isaiah the prophet: “I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way”— “a voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.’ ” And so John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭NIV Come back. You cannot run from me. Come back to those places we would meet before. Allow me to wash you and bring the healing you need. Find the way to forgiveness. Reopen my written word and soak in it's truth and direction. I am the way to forgiveness.

The Jewish Passover was near, so Jesus went to Jerusalem. He found those who were selling cattle, sheep, and pigeons in the temple courtyard. He also found moneychangers sitting there. He made a whip from small ropes and threw everyone with their sheep and cattle out of the temple courtyard. He dumped the moneychangers’ coins and knocked over their tables. He told those who sold pigeons, “Pick up this stuff, and get it out of here! Stop making my Father’s house a marketplace!” His disciples remembered that Scripture said, “Devotion for your house will consume me.” ‭‭John‬ ‭2‬:‭13‬-‭17‬ ‭GW‬‬ Take the time to read my Word. Allow it to soak in. Within it is direction for your life. There you will find those things I consider important. Do not become distracted. I am the way to life everlasting. Remember me and my heart.

I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses. Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the great river, the Euphrates—all the Hittite country— to the Mediterranean Sea in the west. No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors to give them. “Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you...

I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. This poor man called, and the Lord heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭34‬:‭4‬-‭7‬ ‭NIV Each day I am here for you, awaiting to make our connection. I desire to fill you with my heart and to help you grow into the image of my son. Look up in front of you. I too am there leading you, as if through a desert. It is a place for you to grow in the reliance of my guiding.

The Lord said to Moses, “Chisel out two stone tablets like the first ones, and I will write on them the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke. Be ready in the morning, and then come up on Mount Sinai. Present yourself to me there on top of the mountain. No one is to come with you or be seen anywhere on the mountain; not even the flocks and herds may graze in front of the mountain.” So Moses chiseled out two stone tablets like the first ones and went up Mount Sinai early in the morning, as the Lord had commanded him; and he carried the two stone tablets in his hands. Then the Lord came down in the cloud and stood there with him and proclaimed his name, the Lord. ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭34‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Be ready in the morning. I will show myself to you. Come alone. Do not become distracted as we chisel out the words you are to incorporate into your life. Hear my words in their intended tone and inflection. Don't fear. They are directions for life as you follow after me. With pu...
