the FireCarrier

While Jesus was having dinner at Levi’s house, many tax collectors and sinners were eating with him and his disciples, for there were many who followed him. When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees saw him eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?” On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭2‬:‭15‬-‭17‬ ‭NIV Look for me. Look outward. See and hear my creation. It is speaking. I am there with you in your pathway of life. I watch over your steps and speak to you. Put aside your doubts. Yes, I am there. The more you learn to listen and follow me, the more direct you will become in your life. Read my written Word. Open the layers of truth it contains.

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.
