the FireCarrier

There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work. Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines. ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭12‬:‭6‬-‭11‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Draw closer. Become who you are in me. You are one piece of many. All are loved. All are important. You too can share my wisdom. Come near. Watch what I will do.

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 Are you ready to stretch forth your hand and receive healing. You are whole. Now reach out to others. Guide them in my pathway. Show them my love and direction. I have shown you the way. Now be my example to those I send to you. Allow my love to guide you.

Another time Jesus went into the synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there. Some of them were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath. Jesus said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Stand up in front of everyone.” Then Jesus asked them, “Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?” But they remained silent. He looked around at them in anger and, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was completely restored. ‭‭Mark‬ ‭3‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Stretch forth your hand and receive healing. You are whole. Now reach out to others. Guide them into my pathway. Show them my love. Stretch yourself for my ways and directions.  

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,” and you make the Most High your dwelling, no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike...

Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him. Fear the Lord, you his holy people, for those who fear him lack nothing. The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭34‬:‭8‬-‭10‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Sit with me. Allow me to wash away the dirt of your life. Do not allow the enemy to be an influence but trust my Word. It is life. Sit quietly in my presence. Follow the pathway I have for you. I am there with you now.

For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭1‬:‭9‬-‭10‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Don't turn your back or become angry when the enemy comes at you. He wishes to intimidate you, so stand strong with me. Be filled with my strength. Know my written word. Act upon it. If you believe, my word will guide you.

For the word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does. The Lord loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love. By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth. He gathers the waters of the sea into jars; he puts the deep into storehouses. Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the people of the world revere him. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭33‬:‭4‬-‭8‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Stop what you are doing and listen for my direction in your life. I am there, I am not an angry God. I am a God of provision and direction. I am the way for you to be going. Listen now. I am there active in your life. Recognize my leading you. I will show you what is important to me.
