the FireCarrier

Praise be to the Lord, who has not let us be torn by their teeth. We have escaped like a bird from the fowler’s snare; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped. Our help is in the name of the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭124‬:‭6‬-‭8‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Like King David, you too can be dependent upon me. I will speak with you and grant direction. I will cover you in victory and guidance. Find me again. Reach out for me. Each day find me. See my heart for you. See the plans made for your journey. Don't be afraid but seek me. I am there for you.

And this is my prayer: that your love may abound More and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ— to the glory and praise of God. ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭1‬:‭9‬-‭11‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Are you listening for me? Yes, I do still speak. I speak my heart and direction to/for you. Quiet your inner noise and learn to listen for me. I will speak to you directing the steps you should be taking. Be ready. I will demonstrate my ways.

‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. I will show wonders in the heavens above And signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke. The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord. And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’ ‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭17‬-‭21‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Listen to the sounds and songs all about you. Each bird sings in the way I have provided them. What of you? Where is your song? Let your self be heard as my reflection. Those words and thoughts you have, I have provided for you. Soon, you will see them fit together.

Find yourself with me. Seek the way I have for you to be going. In it you can grow. The fruit of my word will feed you what is needed. It will open you to my heart. Eat of it. Be filled with my spirit. Life And truth will follow you as you reach out to others.

Now the glory of the God of Israel went up from above the cherubim, where it had been, and moved to the threshold of the temple. Then the Lord called to the man clothed in linen who had the writing kit at his side and said to him, “Go throughout the city of Jerusalem and put a mark on the foreheads of those who grieve and lament over all the detestable things that are done in it.” ‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭9‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Close your eyes and listen for me. Don't allow yourself to become distracted. Come to my altar and offer your gift. Place your attention upon me. I am unchanging. My thoughts and plans for you remain. Grow in the way I will lead you.

May my cry come before you, Lord; give me understanding according to your word. May my supplication come before you; deliver me according to your promise. May my lips overflow with praise, for you teach me your decrees. May my tongue sing of your word, for all your commands are righteous. May your hand be ready to help me, for I have chosen your precepts. I long for your salvation, Lord, and your law gives me delight. Let me live that I may praise you, And may your laws sustain me. I have strayed like a lost sheep. Seek your servant, for I have not forgotten your commands. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭119‬:‭169‬-‭176‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the Lord. Blessed are those who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart— they do no wrong but follow his ways. You have laid down precepts that are to be fully obeyed. Oh, that my ways were steadfast in obeying your decrees! ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭119‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭NIV‬‬ I am yet the LORD, the creator of all. Listen for the sound of my voice as I direct you into the ways you should walk. Do not hesitate. I am with you. Reach out to others. Bring their salvation and Healing. Let them know of my way by the way they see you treat them and others.

Later, knowing that everything had now been finished, and so that Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.” A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus’ lips. When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.” ‭‭John‬ ‭19‬:‭28‬-‭30‬ ‭NIV Quiet yourself and focus upon hearing my word. Allow it to capture your attention and bring peace. Let it guide you upon the way you should go. My word is truth and life. Do not become distracted, but walk with me. I will direct you in your journey.
