the FireCarrier

One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to get well?” “Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me.” Then Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.” At once the man was cured; he picked up his mat and walked. The day on which this took place was a Sabbath, ‭‭John‬ ‭5‬:‭5‬-‭9‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Pick up the pieces from your life and give them to me. Leave your anxiety covered in my peace. Become sure of me. I have more for you. Are you ready to see with my vision? You will see the results as you respond in faith.

He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭46‬:‭10‬-‭11‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Learn the power of your speech. Those words carry life or death. They affect you and those others you are around. Let them reflect my heart. Learn my voice. Become who I have created you to become. Listen for my guiding you throughout your day.

The Lord will fight for you while you keep silent. ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭14‬:‭14‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬ Allow me to wash and refresh you. My grace remains. It is a covering for you. Come and sit with me. My protection is the healing you need. Allow me to fight your battles.

When Jesus came down from the mountain, large crowds followed Him. And a leper came to Him and bowed down before Him, and said, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.” Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. And Jesus said to him, “See that you tell no one; but go, show yourself to the priest and present the offering that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭8‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭NASB1995 Set aside the stress and racket of your day. Allow me to reach inside of you and give you peace. I am willing to release wholeness and healing into your life. Are you ready? Will you receive what is yours? Come and sit with me. My peace is here for you.

At that time the Feast of the Dedication took place at Jerusalem; it was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple in the portico of Solomon. The Jews then gathered around Him, and were saying to Him, “How long will You keep us in suspense? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.” Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe; the works that I do in My Father’s name, these testify of Me. But you do not believe because you are not of My sheep My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.” ‭‭John‬ ‭10‬:‭22‬-‭30‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬ Be ready for more. I am reopening areas in your life which have been closed. There are things which once flowed fresh and strong, then simple dried up. My sheep listen to my voice. They know and...

He came to Jesus one night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that God has sent you as a teacher. No one can perform the miracles you perform unless God is with him.” Jesus replied to Nicodemus, “I can guarantee this truth: No one can see God’s kingdom without being born from above.” ‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭2‬-‭3‬ ‭GW‬‬ Don't rush, but wait there where you are. Listen for my guidance. I will draw you to me. Be settled with me; learn my ways. Close out the noise of your day. Allow my peace to work within your life. It is time to begin a new chapter. It is time to begin again, fully dependent upon me and the words I have shared with you. Now walk forward.
