I have determined that you should succeed. In my ways you are secure. Seek my truth. Learn to know me and my ways. Trust in what I shall show you. My kingdom is at hand. Within you lies all the power and authority to accomplish what I shall declare. You have seen my ways in the past. You have observed my power and compassion. Possess the land I place before you. Let your strength be found in me. Do not be enticed by the success or the spoils of the land. Allow my words guide your every action. Become a model for those learning who I am. You will be victorious through me.

And great multitudes were gathered together to Him, so that He got into a boat and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore. Then He spoke many things to them in parables, saying: "Behold, a sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds came and devoured them. Some fell on stony places, where they did not have much earth; and they immediately sprang up because they had no depth of earth. But when the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered away. And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked them. But others fell on good ground and yielded a crop: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!" Matthew 13:2-9 (NKJV) The winter is ending. Your time of dryness will quickly be in the past, yet take care what you do in these coming days. Keep your eyes upon me as you move out. Be diligent with your time. You will be known by the fruit you bear, no

What is it you offer to others, those who are spiritually dry or in bondage? Are your words (spoken or implied) filled with life or venom? Moses and Aaron went from the assembly to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and fell facedown, and the glory of the LORD appeared to them. The LORD said to Moses, "Take the staff, and you and your brother Aaron gather the assembly together. Speak to that rock before their eyes and it will pour out its water. You will bring water out of the rock for the community so they and their livestock can drink." So Moses took the staff from the LORD's presence, just as he commanded him. He and Aaron gathered the assembly together in front of the rock and Moses said to them, "Listen, you rebels, must we bring you water out of this rock?" Then Moses raised his arm and struck the rock twice with his staff. Water gushed out, and the community and their livestock drank. Numbers 20:6-11 (NIV) On the last and greatest day of the Feast

Ever come to a cross road in your life and want for direction? Consider what has been written in the Bible and making some application. Here are some simple observations I have made from three brothers in the verses below. We should face the son. Praise (Judah) should always go first. We should be tempered with (Issachar) an understanding of the times and what to do. We should have God at the center of our dwelling and habitation (Zebulun). We should not be alone, but camp and work with those of like company. We can expect God to speak to us. We should be a safe place for others to come. We can expect to be numbered as his people. We can expect blessings as his people. The Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron: “Every one of the Israelites must camp under his standard with the emblems of his family; they must camp at some distance around the tent of meeting. The Tribes on the East “Now those who will be camping on the east, toward the sunrise, are the divisions of the camp of Judah under th

When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, then go out to battle; for God has gone out before you to strike down the army of the Philistines." 1 Chronicles 14:15 (NRSV) Move forward according to my voice. March forth. Do not react according to your natural sight, but upon my urging and direction. I will direct your pathway for success. With me you shall prosper. Do not hesitate. March forth into victory over my enemies. I shall bring you the victory. Learn to trust again in me. My Spirit will wash over you and strengthen you. I will blanket you in peace. I will set the prisoners free. I will restore hope. As a shield I will protect you.
