I am your reward

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)

step into spiritual growth

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)

soon-coming days

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.

come out

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.

the character of my name

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

opening wells

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

draw closer

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.
