the FireCarrier

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Ephesians 3:16-19 (NIV) Do you know who I am? I am who I say I am, never-changing. I am the totality of my names. Do not be angry or take offense by what I say, but look at your excuses. Are you filled with me or with self? The remedy is simple; turn and repent. I will do what I have said I will do. You are my child, a son of mine. With my names you will prosper. All that is within me is available to you. I was, will and am yet now soverign. Walk within what I have for you. Don't limit me. Speak forth the living word. Allow my power to

The Lord God put the man in the garden of Eden to care for it and work it. The Lord God commanded him, "You may eat the fruit from any tree in the garden, but you must not eat the fruit from the tree which gives the knowledge of good and evil. If you ever eat fruit from that tree, you will die!" Genesis 2:15-17 (NCV) I am the tree of life. Spread your inadequacy before me. Acknowledge your need. Stand firm. Declare my word of truth. I am shaking that which needs to be removed. My Spirit is blowing through my people. Do not resist lest you be broken holding onto that which is straw and stubble. I am cleansing those who are mine. I am sending for my rain; washing away complacency. Come to me. Be washed in the blood of my son. I am calling you into new life, a life where fear has no part. My standard is love. There is no room for retribution and payback. Sustain yourself in me. Grow in holiness. Stand firm upon the rock. My love dispels fear. I am the LORD God, your creator and

Wrap yourself in me. Allow me to embrace you, to place my arms of protection about you. Be ever-near to me. Have a righteous hunger to come closer. Do not resist, but embrace my working within you. Come into the holy of holies. You are my light. Shine where you are. Feed on the bread of presence. Allow me to anoint you. There are presents yet to be opened; gifts yet to be revealed: Ask of me.

And the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush; and he looked, and lo, the bush was burning, yet it was not consumed. And Moses said, "I will turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt." When the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the bush, "Moses, Moses!" And he said, "Here am I." Exodus 3:2-4 (RSV) Have you given up? Are you tired of doing things your way? Give in.Come, rest in me. Allow me to dry your tears. All that is mine is available to you. You belong to me, so draw nearer. Turn aside. Now is the time. Find that I am who I say I am. Let me guide youthrough this time. I am what you are seeking. Turn from your familiar waysand methods. Learn how to rely upon my supernatural abundance. I will speak you and you will recognize me. I will supply what is needed.Turn aside and find my reality. I will show you new ways.I am the light that burns true. Walk in the pathway

She said, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" And he awoke from his sleep and said, "I will go out as at other times and shake myself free.” But he did not know that the LORD had departed from him. Judges 16:20 (NASB95) Not all visitations are apparent. We need take care in our judgments and examine with the eyes and heart of the father. Sampson was a deliver. Even his birth was foretold as the Angel-of-the-Lord had interaction with his mother. When his father sought God for guidance The Angel-of-the-Lord returned. He asked, “Please let the man of God whom You have sent come to us again that he may teach us what to do for the boy who is to be born.” Samson was born and raised in the ways of God. His parents rightly raised him in the direction and fear of God. Even so, as individuals we have personal responsibility. We live by our own thoughts and decisions. Are we found sleeping with the enemy? Do we allow our head to be found in the lap of the enemy? Even into his l

I, the teacher, am calling to you. Listen for me, that I might direct you. Recognize my voice and respond. I am pointing you to Jesus. Trust in me and not the circumstances. I will expose the lies of the deceiver.

Then the disciples came to him and said, "Why do you speak to them in parables?" He replied, "You have been given the opportunity to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but they have not. For whoever has will be given more, and will have an abundance. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. For this reason I speak to them in parables--that although they see they do not see and although they hear they do not hear nor do they understand. Matthew 13:10-13 (NET) I have heard you ask for more of me, to receive and bring healing to others. I hear you ask for more of my ways, for my presence to be tangible. You say you want to walk in my miraculous ways. It is good. It is my wish for my people to walk in my kingdom ways. Continue asking for want I want. Never slack from seeking my ways and promises. Knock continuously that the doors of my kingdom may be opened. Yes, be steadfast. Live righteous lives, forgoing self. Allow me to supply the oppo

Receive the revelation of my son and his overwhelming love for you. Embrace his acceptance. His love is ever-lasting. It is right to give him worship. I ask you, What are you beholding? Are your rooms and bookshelves too full? Are they crowded with stuff? What about your closets and garages? Is the space limited because of overflow; a constant collection of stuff? Seek me. Spend time with me. Allow my righteousness to penetrate your hardening life style. Allow my spirit to penetrate into the seep spaces and release healing. Allow the oil of my presence to soothe and cure that spiritual dryness. I am the light. As my light penetrates, a new layer of revelation bursts forth into life. Seek me. Seek first my kingdom and the right stuff will be added to you. The cares and worries of today will drop away. A new wardrobe of righteousness will cover you. You will learn to eat at my table and be full. The striving of inner emptiness will be filled with my supernatural reality. My son’s lov

On this day of national thanksgiving, we need remember to offer our personal and proper thanksgiving. Be blessed. "And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings that one may offer to the Lord. 12 If he offers it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the thanksgiving sacrifice unleavened loaves mixed with oil, unleavened wafers smeared with oil, and loaves of fine flour well mixed with oil. 13 With the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving he shall bring his offering with loaves of leavened bread. 14 And from it he shall offer one loaf from each offering, as a gift to the Lord. It shall belong to the priest who throws the blood of the peace offerings. Leviticus 7:11-14 (ESV) The one who offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies me; to one who orders his way rightly I will show the salvation of God!" Psalms 50:23 (ESV) Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise! Psalms 95:2 (ESV)

I am with you, active in your life. Circumstances are arranged to strengthen your character and dependence upon me. Take heart. Do not be discouraged. My written word tells you I am unchanged. My Word is truth and in it is life and abundance. Walk out your life in the light of my word.

I am the source of all light. Drink-in what I provide for you. Do not hesitate, but sit with me; Dwell in my presence. I am the bread of life, available to all who come to me. Allow me to fill you and bring purpose into your life. Do not be anxious as the markets rise and fall. I am your source. Make your needs known to me; Rest in the peace which is for you. Become my vessels of hope. Be drawn to my Spirit like a month to the flame.

Where do you find yourself this day? Are you in alignment or do you find yourself in a position you would like to see changed. “So I tell you to ask, and you will receive. Search, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened for you. Everyone who asks will receive. The one who searches will find, and for the person who knocks, the door will be opened. Luke 11:9-10 (GW)

I am not silent. Quiet yourself so you can hear me. Listen and learn what I am doing. Ask me and receive the answers.

For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins. 2 Peter 1:5-9 (NIV) The Father has a word for those of you who are struggling; those who are dissatisfied and even discontent where you are; and for those who want more of Him. It is divine discontent. The seeds are planted and I am stirring up the ground. Yes, you are being tested. I am revealing weaknesses and personal short-comings so you can be an overcomer. I am providing opportunities so that you may be strengthened. I am refinin

I'm bringing you to a new place. Hold onto me. Along the way you may stumble, but get up. Don't withdraw, but walk with me. Learn intimacy. Enjoy the companionship. I can not fail. Lean closer to me, so you might hear my direction. I'm bringing you to the point where only I matter. There are opportunities each day to pour yourself out. Be emptied of self. There is an invitation to come nearer; to sit in my presense. Hold onto me as you ascend up into my mountain

And he said to me, "What do you see?" So I said, "I am looking, and there is a lampstand of solid gold with a bowl on top of it, and on the stand seven lamps with seven pipes to the seven lamps. Two olive trees are by it, one at the right of the bowl and the other at its left." Zechariah 4:2-3 (NKJV) Where are my warriors? Sound the alarm and take your places. Stop waiting for others to take your station. Be found where you know you are called. Arise. Stand firm in my spirit. I will direct you. Yes, you are equipped. Sound the alarm. My people are not to be complacent My glory will fill the earth. My fire will burn from each altar. It shall never be extinguished. Let my truth arise. Speak forth truth. Counter the lies of death the enemy is spreading. Call forth for my mercy and righteousness. Speak out what in prayer what I place in your heart so my will may be done. Take my light into the darkness of your cities. Let it flow forth from my vessels.

Be set free. In me you are safe. In me you are complete. I'm your protector. You were created in my image and perfected through my son. My love for you never changes. I am righteous and pure. Draw your purpose from me. It's really quite simple: I love you. Because I love you my blessings and favour flow to you. In my love I place obstacles for you to grow in reliance of me. I point out the hazards so you might avoid them. My love wraps about you like my cloud of glory. You can never disappoint me, because I have no expectations of you. Your abilities come from me. They carry an endless width and breadth. In you I can see the image of my son being formed.

Allow me to cover you with my wings of protection. Within my shadow no evil can come near you. Walk within my ways and I shall prosper you. Fear not. Grow within the territory I have provided. My Spirit is calling and wooing you into much more of me and my ways. I will strengthen those who exercise what they've received Wrap yourself in my ways, not the bounds you have set. I will loose you from the lies, the strongholds that keep you blinded. Dance before me. Allow me to cover you in new robes. Surrender to me. I will remove the bands. I will burn the ropes of hemp,and the shackles of bronze will fall away. Be lost in me; ever seeking me. Do not fear or reject those I've sent to you.

Take note, comprehend what God is speaking. We need to recognize his voice. We must have spiritual ears to listen to what the Spirit is saying. We must have our spiritual eyes opened to see what God is doing. Becoming Christ-like we too must be willing to respond to what we see and hear. Recently as I was driving home I saw a billboard advertisement through which God is speaking. It read, “A Change is Coming.” I am moving over the face of the earth. I am wooing my creation. I am drawing forth into the kingdom. I am brooding over those I love. I am working in the circumstances to bring all to the Son, that he may receive all worship and honor. My riders and watchers are about the whole earth. They perform my work. They move in perfect conjunction with my perfect will. Know that a change is coming. Recognize the signs. My presence will wash over you. My glory will fill the whole earth. It will be carried forth by the vessels willing to set self aside and be filled with me. I am rushing

I am the bread of life. Partake of me. Take my anointing upon you. Feed my people what you have received. Be what I have intended you to be. I invite you to become more; to prosper in my light. Become satisfied in me. I will feed you the bread of truth and righteousness. I was broken for you. Share me in the way I have equipped you. I have shown you my example. Allow me to multiply what you bring to me. Do not be anxious; in me there is freedom. In my way you will find abundant life. I am the satisfaction you are seeking. In me there is fulfillment.

In all ways, guard your heart. Exercise diligence and seek me. Walk in the path created for you. Do not look to the right or the left, becoming enticed by what others are doing. Seek me for direction. Seek me and you will receive what you need. Be tender in me. Do not let your heart become hardened and calloused. Guard against the lies and deceptions set before you. Do not become discouraged, My love for you is never-ending. I will never leave you.

To my children who are tired; Stop pushing. Relax. I am ever with you. Allow me to replenish you. For those who are hurting; Resist the temptation to react. Receive my healing peace. Breathe deeply the pneuma of my Spirit. Be secure in me in the season you may find yourself. I am in control. Be at peace; far away from the edge of reaction. It is important for my children to recognize and respond to my voice now. You will be firmly rooted and grounded for what is to come. I am with you both now and in the time ahead.

Do you want more of me? Ask! Ask me. Call my name believing I will answer. Step out and see if I am not there with you. Do not be ashamed to come to me. Invite me to participate in your life. Allow me to bind the wounds which harass you. Allow the oil of my spirit to anoint you. Ask me. I have much more. Much more is available to you. My plans are for you to succeed. I have specific places for you to succeed.

He said to them, "The mystery of the kingdom of God has been given to you." Mark 4:11a (NET) I am calling you. I'm setting you forth as sign-posts. As my signs you display my message. You bring guidance and direction. You are not to be demanding, but be true. Your face wears my expression of love. Be true to my direction. Do not plant yourself where you want, but to what and where I continue to display to you. In your obedient love others will find me. They can be directed to the pathway I have for them. Be the sign I have created you to be. Hold your face upright; in me there is no shame. You are the salt and light for those about you, and those in generations yet to come.

It is the time for you, my people, to enter into what I have for you. It is the time to cross over, beyond what you now realize. My Spirit of Revelation is opening ways and avenues never seen. Step beyond and enter into what is for my people. You have been quiet too long. Enter into my joy and release truth into the air and nations. I am the resurrection life; Step into my resurrection power. Release it into the dreams you thought were dead. Speak it into your family so they may have abundant life. Give them both to me. Gather your pots; Fill them with my unending supply of oil. The more you use it, the more it is replenished. Call for me. Seek me. Enter into the relationship I have for you.

Make your tent bigger; stretch it out and make it wider. Do not hold back.Make the ropes longer and its stakes stronger, because you will spreadout to the right and to the left. Your children will take over other nations, and they will again live in cities that once were destroyed. Isaiah 54:2-3 (NCV) It is time for you to expand. Move beyond your current expectations. Move outward into my ways; Spread out and engage in what is already provided for you. Move beyond what feels safe. I am not limited, but can only move out when my people move with me. Spread out your hands and begin to release prayers for peoples and lands. Open your wings. Spread them wide and capture the breezes I am about to send forth. Great gales of force are coming.

Come whole-heartedly to me. Do not delay. The lies of the enemy are destroying my people. I am the God of forgiveness; draw near and receive healing. I am the God of restoration, come sit with me, renew yourself. I am the God of mercy and judgment; the righteous have no need for fear.

My light is arising, filling in new regions. My light will rest upon you. New revelation is bursting forth. It delivers truth and life. My light releasing blinding light. All that can be seen is me. There is a time of freedom, a going into a new places, new eyes. All my promises join with you. My mighty light is rising upon you, my people. It is cleansing. I am coming in what will seem a new way. Do not fear my light. Be bathed in a new freedom and liberty. It exposes all that is not of me so you might repent and turn again to me. I will rest upon those who do not resist what I am about to do. They will be sons and daughter of my kingdom. Ask me. Prepare a place for me in your inner room.

As I was driving home from work ysterday I saw a large amount of smoke ahead of me, to my left. I expected the traffic to begin to slow because of a fire or an accident. I drove on for a few more minutes and there was no slowing traffic. As I approached the area where I had seen the smoke, there was no accident nor was there any evidence of a fire. Though dissipating, the smoke remained. I could sense a wave of peace. It was as if God had been there and the lingering residual of His presence remained. There was no sense of judgment associated with the smoke as in the book of Revelation 15, but the was most assuredly a peace. And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power, and no one could enter the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed. Revelation 15:8 (NIV)

For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and a band of survivors out of Mount Zion. The zeal of the Lord of hosts shall perform this. 2 Kings 19:31 (AMP) I, the Lord-God-of-Hosts am arising. My name will be upon the lips of all my creatures. They will know me and draw nearer. Nothing can stand against me, or those who are mine. Be secure in what I am doing. I am speaking forth my plans. Join me. Speak forth the words of truth I give you. I will supply all that is needed. There is nothing too difficult for me. Be secure in what I am doing; in what I want to accomplish. My creative breath continues. My words have never stopped working their ways. Come closer to me. Increase your ways to recognize my love for you. I am looking to show you more. I am searching for those I can give more. I am visiting you in the night times. My presence fills the room where you sleep. My breath flows over you and fills you. My fragrance brings renewed hope for those who recognize me.

And he said to me, "What do you see?" So I said, "I am looking, and there is a lampstand of solid gold with a bowl on top of it, and on the stand seven lamps with seven pipes to the seven lamps. Zechariah 4:2 (NKJV) As I was driving to work one morning this week, I heard his voice ask, "What do you see?" I see the patches of new light emerging, I answered. There is new light coming from my throne. It is carried into the darkness by my people. They will move into the places I am sending them. The purity of this light will draw many unsaved.

Do not become weary or discouraged. He is working within you his ways. New light is about to burst through into your situation. It dispels all darkness and releases hope. You are important to those about your area of influence. You infuse gifting and expression which only you have been given. so we who are many are one body in Christ, and individually we are members who belong to one another. And we have different gifts, according to the grace given to us. If the gift is prophecy, that individual must use it in proportion to his faith. If it is service, he must serve; if it is teaching, he must teach; if it is exhortation, he must exhort; if it is contributing, he must do so with sincerity; if it is leadership, he must do so with diligence; if it is showing mercy, he must do so with cheerfulness. Romans 12:5-8 (NET)

So Saul said, "Bring me the burnt offering and the peace offerings." Then he offered a burnt offering. Just when he had finished offering the burnt offering, Samuel appeared on the scene. Saul went out to meet him and to greet him. But Samuel said, "What have you done?" Saul replied, "When I saw that the army had started to abandon me and that you didn't come at the appointed time and that the Philistines had assembled at Micmash, I thought, 'Now the Philistines will come down on me at Gilgal and I have not sought the Lord's favor.' So I felt obligated to offer the burnt offering." 1 Samuel 13: 9-12 (NET) What is it you are doing? Do not be fearful or reactive. I have given you all you will need. I’ve given and placed my authority within you. I’ve not called you into jealousy or pride; those are the traps of the one seeking to destroy you. I have selected you. There is nothing you can do I’ve not foreseen. I know the you of the future. I se

After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision: “Fear not, Abram! I am your shield and the one who will reward you in great abundance.” Genesis 15:1 (NET) I am your great reward. Seek me, do not allow yourself to become discouraged. Refocus upon me, your treasure and protector. I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what they deserve. You are my light for this world. I have selected you to shine. In your actions the lost can learn my heart. Hold your head up. I will open the way. Reap the fruit of my unfailing love. I have not turned myself from you. Call to me and learn of the love I have for you. Allow me to uplift your heart. I am the great reward of those who call my name in truth. (Look! I am coming soon, and my reward is with me to pay each one according to what he has done! Revelation 22:12 (NET)

By entering through faith into what God has always wanted to do for us—set us right with him, make us fit for him—we have it all together with God because of our Master Jesus. And that's not all: We throw open our doors to God and discover at the same moment that he has already thrown open his door to us. We find ourselves standing where we always hoped we might stand—out in the wide open spaces of God's grace and glory, standing tall and shouting our praise. Romans 5:1-2 (MSG)

In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes. Judges 21:25 Don't be like be those who have been sightless. They are as fools. There is no hope for them. Become focused upon me and self-righteousness will flee; foolish notions will wither and be abandoned. Listen for me. Seek me each day. Don't be found quick to judge others until you've learned to first review yourself and inner motives. Listen and observe to know my heart. Be apart of what I am doing in the kingdom. See with new eyes grace. Do what is right in the eyes of your king. Do not be fooled or one of the sightless who do what is right in their own mind. Many will walk in great power. Miracles will be displayed, so much that even the elect may be swayed if they do not use discernment. The days are coming when those who know me will be marked.

He will bathe his body in water in a holy place and put on his regular clothes. Then he will come out and offer the whole burnt offering for himself and for the people, to remove sins from himself and the people so they will belong to the Lord. Leviticus 16:24 (NCV) The LORD-God is saying come out. Come out now. Step forth unhindered. Step forth in the liberty of my Spirit. Come out of the ways of your past. Come forth into new life. Step into the abundance which will be available to you. Come to me. Allow me to burn away the dullness. The fire of my presence releases what you are seeking, but it is the abiding which sustains. I have an anointing of freedom I want to smear you with. New ways, old patterns are destroyed. The mountains of your past fall as you step forward. Drink of my water. My ways are fresh. They are not stagnant. Drink deeply. Fill yourself with me.

And Gideon came to the Jordan and passed over, he and the three hundred men who were with him, faint yet pursuing. Judges 8:4 (RSV) I am the God who called you into life. You were delivered from the hands of darkness and given food to sustain you. My hand of protection has not been withdrawn. You are free from the hand of the one who would kill you. He seeks to see you destroyed, miserable and hopeless. He lies in wait. As sure as light dispels the darkness, I am with you to guard and direct your ways. Seek me at all times. Grow in your knowledge and experience of me, so I may impart more. Celebrate the victories, but do not become complacent. Do not allow the enemy a foothold into your thought-life. I am your God. It is through my ways in you that the darkness is dispelled. Worship me, not what I have already done or I am doing. Come to me and not the result of my presence. I am calling forth those who would cross over. Follow me with abandon and walk in the calling I have for you. Le

So Isaac left there and settled in the Gerar Valley. Isaac reopened the wells that had been dug back in the days of his father Abraham, for the Philistines had stopped them up after Abraham died. Isaac gave these wells the same names his father had given them. When Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and discovered a well with fresh flowing water there… Genesis 26: 17-19a (NET Bible) I am opening wells. Are you willing to participate? Are you thirsty enough to come and drink? I am the supplier. Come and be refreshed in me. Drink from my everlasting water. I am re-opening the wells of your forefathers and establishing new wells not divined for those yet to arrive. There is nothing difficult for me to accomplish. Dig deep into my word and drink. Do not become satisfied with what’s at the surface. Linger for me. Ask for more. Be persistent for what I have for you. Do not rely on the old methods to draw my water. Soak in my presence. Do not become dry and brittle. I will bring forth lif

I am calling to you, my people. Draw closer. Come near to me. No longer are you banned from the mountain. Do not forget you are mine. Return to the expectation that I am acting on your behalf. Return to the drawers and shelves where my words of encouragement now sit. Re-open the dreams I have given you. Reach to me again for the first time. For now is the season. You will bear much fruit. Do not hesitate. I am pouring out in abundance to those who seek me. I am expanding my ways to those who draw near in expectancy. Come to my table. Eat of the food I will provide.

I had the vision while praying during worship at a recent conference. The sky began to darken as if it were going to rain. I heard what at first seemed to be the sound of a light rain. It grew in intensity. It went from a heavier rain to like the sound that hail makes as it hits the soggy ground. As I looked about to see the rain, I saw acorns. They were being hurled from the sky. They covered the ground. As I looked t them I saw a couple of oak trees. In a matter minutes there stood hundreds of oak trees where before had been an open land. I am the creator-God. I am raising up a new people for my army. New leaders will rain down from places unexpected. They will arise quickly from small beginnings to become mighty ones. They will be sturdy and give protection to those who draw near to me.

I was looking at a distant mountain-top. I saw rich multi-colours of red and blues, pink and purples and yellows all about the mountain. The sky about that mountain was a magnificent array of colour. That mountain suddenly changed and I was riding on an eagle. What I had seen from a distance now seemed now and crystal clear. I could sense the power of his wings as we flew high above. There was a silence in that ending clear, forward vision as I now realized I was looking through the eyes of the eagle. As quickly as the vision began, it ended. I heard these words. As you focus upon me and what I want you to see, there will be more. See through my eyes and you will arise in me. I will take you to new heights and venues you’ve not yet known.

11 "'For this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I myself will search for my sheep and look after them. 12 As a shepherd looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I look after my sheep. I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness. 13 I will bring them out from the nations and gather them from the countries, and I will bring them into their own land. I will pasture them on the mountains of Israel, in the ravines and in all the settlements in the land. 14 I will tend them in a good pasture, and the mountain heights of Israel will be their grazing land. There they will lie down in good grazing land, and there they will feed in a rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. 15 I myself will tend my sheep and have them lie down, declares the Sovereign LORD. 16 I will search for the lost and bring back the strays. I will bind up the injured and strengthen the weak, but the sleek and the strong I will destroy. I will

You are of great value. Covered by blood, you are fully pardoned through its redemptive power. The Spirit of the Father will guide you into the ways of liberty and relationship. Learn obedience to his voice and you will walk into the deeper ways. In the fullness of time I came that you be no longer be bound by chains. The record will show that I was slain. I am the full payment for you. You can not add to it or take from it. I have chosen you to be where you are. You are my affect to a world in darkness and confusion. My healing virtue flows where you walk in me. Do not become puffed up with what I am about to show you. When you speak my words, chains are destroyed and hope is released; the enemy is powerless. Be prepared. I am bringing forth a fire. I am shaking away all that can be removed. My holiness will prevail in my people. Walk in faith. Find your security in me. Each step you take will strengthen your trust in me. Learn my character and compassion. Walk in willing obedience w

I see you. None of my children are forgotten. I see the tears you cry and those you hold back. Today, at this moment I speak my encouragement to you. Do not allow the pain of circumstances overwhelm you. I am your provision. I speak to you my peace. Look to me. You have not failed. You are not disgraced nor disqualified from what I have for you. Begin to speak. Speak my words of peace. Let your ear-gate be opened to my words. I am what you desire. It is time. Begin to move upon my urging. You asked me for more, so step forward, that more can come. Become familiar with my written words and I will speak directly to you. One step at a time you begin the journey. One step at a time you learn to move in obedience to what you receive from me. Reflect upon me and my word. There will be a great outshining; Warmth will flood into and through you. Reach for more of me. You will not be disappointed. I have placed this discontent within you for more of me. I have placed a hunger for the supernatur

You also must be ready; for the Son of man is coming at an unexpected hour." Luke 12:40 (RSV) This has been a morning of unexpected things. They were not so much uncommon things, but the volume of occurrences in the morning hours that caught my attention. It began when I left the dogs outside. It was yet dark, but the routinely run out and look for the squirrels to chase them. This time I let them outside and very quickly heard them barking excitedly.

Ezekiel 12:25 (HCSB) I had recently asked God about revelation to something he’d shown me. I was recently awakened that night. As I looked at the clock, it was 12:25. I knew it related to the answer of what I’d seen, as described below. This past week our area of the country was involved in some abnormal cold weather, as was many other areas. This particular day it was the basis for many accidents on the highways. Thursday April 5th I was caught in the stopped traffic on the highway. My car did not move from its early morning spot for more than two and a half hours. I could watch as light began to open into the sky. I napped and listened to teaching cd’s I carry in the car.
